The Ancient Genes

Back Mountains, Near Scarlet House, Ocien.

"Intriguing…" Max smiled with interest as he roamed around in the area. He was sure that he was standing at the place where the spatial pouch was, but he couldn't even feel a thing. Anyone who came here wouldn't be able to find a single thing about the spatial pouch.

Max too was the same, but it was a little different in his case, since he knew that a Spatial pouch existed here.

"I am not good at this…but let's give it a try.." Max knew that he sucked at spatial abilities. Even after consulting with Mr. Cool, who was a master at the art, he had achieved nothing. The best he was able to achieve was a little bit of spatial awareness.

Max closed his eyes, and tried to sense the presence of the invisible world around him. But, unfortunately, it didn't work. He could only feel the little vibrations around, and it was an indication that something was not normal around. Aside from that, there was nothing else that he could perceive.

'Sigh! Only if all my abilities were like my fire and water elements..' Max let out a bitter smile. He had no idea why but his fire and water element had a very fast rate of growth in comparison to everything else.

Now that, he thought, he was connected to Crimsons, so there might be a little influence there.

But, that was not the main matter here. The main problem was the fact that he needed to break into the spatial pouch. After a bit of consideration, Max finally had a flash of inspiration.

"Domain!" He immediately let out his domain, and his eyes lit up the next second as a smile appeared on his face. "Found you.."

His domain was his territory, nothing could escape from his grasp inside it, not even the spatial pouch. But, at Max's current ability, he could only sense the spatial pouch and not destroy it or do anything else to it.

'Let's see if this works or not..' Max took out a dagger from his storage device. One could see runes carved onto the blade of the dagger on a careful look. This dagger was Max's handicraft, while the runes on it were carved by Axel.

And, since Max had taken it out here, it meant that the runes were definitely not ordinary. Until now, nothing had been able to block Axel's anti-magic rune. Today, Max was going to see if Axel could keep that record.

'I should be a bit careful..' Max looked at the blade with a serious expression on his face. He knew that this power of Axel's somehow conflicted with his own. There were times of such instances in the past, hence, it was better if Max took precautions.

Max held the dagger in his hand, and the next instant, the mana in the surrounding began to move towards him as he used the spirit energy to pull them in. The black colored runes on the dagger slowly started to light up, and Max's eyes shined, 'Success!'

But, it seemed that he was a little too early to celebrate.

'Sizzle!'

Small black threads of lightning suddenly appeared around the runes of the dagger, and the next instant, Max felt his spirit energy and the chaotic domineering energy from the rune clash with each other.

"Crack!"

The moment that happened, a crack suddenly appeared in thin air.

'Sh*t!' Max cursed in his heart. He knew that crack was not in the air, but at the entrance of the spatial pouch.

Suddenly, the clash between the two energy intensified, and Max felt that thing in his hand was going to explode.

He immediately spun into action, and with a swing of his hand, he threw the dagger straight towards the crack in the air. He was planning to retreat, but the scene next made his face twitch, the dagger actually managed to slide into through the little crack and enter the spatial pouch.

'I am f*cked…' Max shook his head as if he wanted to cry. He knew that the matters were about to get out of hand.

As expected, a light shone through the crack in the air, and it began to rapidly spread around.

Max's face twitched as he knew very well what had happened inside.

'This is going to hurt…I hope they will take it in a sporting manner..' He sighed looking at the entrance which was full of cracks now. He could only imagine how furious those people inside would be. But, there was still a blood relation, Max hoped that things would be solved. If not, he would have no other choice but to use Old Man Sun.

"Bang!"

Finally, the space collapsed, unable to bear the damage, and a tunnel to another world opened right in front of Max.

Luckily, there wasn't much commotion on Max's side. As for the entrance, shattering Max had suppressed it with his domain. There shouldn't be any problem now. And, he was sure that the other side should be rushing to repair the place.

'I should still leave someone for an assurance..'

With that thought in mind, a clone separated from Max's body and vanished into the forest while Max took a step ahead and entered the spatial pouch.

….

Ancestral Hall, Crimson Family.

Everyone had left the hall, and only two old Matriarchs were left here.

The Matriarch was still laughing at Synthia's warning form earlier.

"It's enough…you don't need to laugh so much.." The Second Matriarch frowned a little.

"What is this? Are you upset because I am making fun of him? You are going to take that little brats' side instead of your sister? You haven't even met that little rascal as of yet.."

"So, what? He obviously has taken after his great grandfather seeing his mastery in water elements. He has to be valiant and righteous like him.." The Second Matriarch retorted.

"Is that so? Then why don't we make a bet? Let's bet on whether he comes or not..I say he won't…" The Matriarch smiled.

"Fine, the loser has to give a shoulder massage to the other for 5 years.." The Second Matriarch knew it was a losing game, but she didn't want to back down when she had brought her husband into this by comparing Max to him.

"Deal!" The Matriarch couldn't help but laugh at it. But, the next second, her laughter ceased.

"Boom!"
