They sat on a random rock, waiting for somebody who wanted to walk. Joshua was getting impatient, "It"s been an hour. Nothing is happening. Are we even sure that this is a Siren?"Annixon gave him a pondering look, "Well, I am about seventy-five percent sure. Let"s try this. All females go hide or at least cover a far enough distance from us. Keep that distance until you see us going into a cave, borrow or even a cliff. Better spark after that."
Joshua was a bit perplexed, "Why would Sirens only go after males
There were about seven females in the group that included Sinah.
Annixon took a sip of water, "I think it"s actually gotta do with the brain"s physiology. Females" brains tend to have more grey matter. This, in turn, results in the male brain being an easier choice to manipulate. Males also tend to have more muscle on their bodies, which means more protein for a Siren. Two birds, one stone kind of scenario."
"What!? Females can"t have more brain matter than males."
Annixon slapped his own face, "Don"t tell me you are one of those ignorant…"
Annixon noticed that they were walking for a while now, "Curious, we are walking into a direction and we didn"t even notice it. Whatever the sirens do, they seem to hijack the neural impulses rather than scrambling the brain. Fascinating."
Joshua just shook his head, "One of these days I am going to understand you."
"Start by reading books."
An idea formed in Annixon"s head. He took out his book and wrote, - Do I have access to a simple lightning flow art that will induce a disruption of neural signals in the body that I can use on myself. Also, do I have enough mana to do so? -
- A flow art does exist that matches that criteria but it would be impossible to use it on oneself. You do have enough mana to produce said art.-
That bit of information explained quite a bit about the nature of magic. It would also, in the sense of the word, explain why certain things could mitigate magic. Was it possible to develop a type of magic that could actually hurt magic immunity?
They kept walking for fifteen minutes in complete silence. They walked into an overhead canyon. The girls were a ways away from them.
The book can"t display spells so he had the book on standby as soon as they entered an overhead canyon.
Annixon looked up to see how many there were, but couldn"t find anything.
His eyes suddenly fell on the most breath-taking G.o.ddess he ever did see in his life. It invoked emotions of l.u.s.t and desire/
Annixon closed his eyes to mitigate the emotions. It seemed that their spell worked on a line of sight, but also a sound. It was soothing by nature like a lullaby from a mother to a child, but it didn"t make you lethargic, just calm.
This is something even Annixon would have trouble dealing with. Even if he was able to cast the lightning spell on one of the males they would still be mesmerized by their beauty.
His only hope was Sinah. She better catch up fast, "Joshua, call out!"
"Why what"s the problem!" He wasn"t aware of the urgency of the situation. Dammit, he was going to punch that oaf when all this was over.
He pointed his finger in the direction he heard the sound. If he was standing still so would Joshua. A shot of lightning punched straight towards Joshua, even with his eyes closed.
Joshua turned towards Annixon, "I should punch your lights out for that!"
"Now is not the time! You should have the full function of your motor skills! Punch that G.o.d d.a.m.n thing in front of you."
"And why the h.e.l.l would I do that! She is a G.o.ddess among G.o.ddesses."
JOSHUA!!! That pig-headed ignoramus! The only thing he is good for was a punching bag.
Annixon"s body didn"t want to listen to him. Something fell on his shoulder. He opened his eyes.
What he saw was the most adorable child. He wanted to take care of her. Protect her. Kill anyone or anything that wanted to harm her. Then it bit into his arm.
Blood gushed out but all that he could do was pet the child on the head.
A knife suddenly appeared through the child"s throat. This enraged Annixon. He twisted on the spot and sent a backhand towards the a.s.sa.s.sin. He stopped right before it could connect.
Fear showed in Sinah"s eyes. The fist was barely a hair"s breadth away. His fist turned into an open palm. He pulled her in with a hug, "Man am I glad to see you guys."
"Annixon, now is not the time for that."
"Right, Joshua is a moron. I will handle him."
He knew he couldn"t fight the sirens but he could at least suppress Joshua, but he was still under the Siren"s influence.
The girls rained arrows from the entrance, but the sirens were incredibly agile.
Joshua roared, "Why are you attacking my beautiful maidens!"
Annixon smiled he just needed to provoke him, "They didn"t, I told them too, remember?"
Annixon eyes were closed once again.
"You will pay for that Annixon!"
Good, this worked out perfectly. He just needed Sinah to take out the Siren in front of Joshua, "Sinah, take that…thing out in front of Joshua. He is still being manipulated."
A painful sting hit Annixon in the face. Joshua punched him hard enough to stagger Annixon.
Annixon rubbed his jaw, still with closed eyes. He smiled and said, "That all you got. My sister could hit harder, Joshi boy."

Annixon crouched and placed his hand on the ground. He sensed all sorts of vibrations with the ensuing ruckles. The only reason he did it was to feel for the worst ruckus.
Annixon jumped backward. Joshua was one him and swung but missed. This happened a few times until his back was against the wall.
He had to momentarily open his eyes just as the fist of Joshua came in. He dodged by going down, but Joshua was adapted to fighting and kneed him in the face bringing him face to face with Joshua"s monstrous punch.
