Next, Severus led Max out of the building and onto the free and wild Green Soil planet.
The first thing that Max noticed was that it was quite literally a green soil planet, which was barren and with rocky terrain, but covered in greenish soil for some reason.
It was just like Mars, but green instead of red, and with a dense atmosphere that did not let sunlight penetrate through to the ground at all.
Max noticed his surroundings, his vampiric instincts zooming in on objects which could be a potential threat as he subconsciously came to a fighting stance.
While Max did not understand it, his genetic DNA had changed significantly and the natural instincts of the primordial vampires had been coded into his blood.
Although there were no animals on this planet, Max instinctively knew which boulders to avoid because there may be a predator lying in wait behind them.
Severus noticed his behaviour with a wide smile on his face as he fervently took notes in his diary.
Casually, Severus threw a small rock toward Max from his blindside, and although Max did not see it coming he somehow dodged it and bared his fangs toward Severus.
" Bravo ". Severus said as he continued to take notes.
' Your reaction speed has improved significantly and your anterior cingulated cortex seemed to have developed significantly ' Drax stated his observations to Max
Max became confused as he said ' Anterior what what? '
Drax sighed deeply then explained ' The part of your brain which is responsible for your sixth sense.
It has improved significantly '.
Max nodded, this seemed like a useful development.
Drax did not explain any further, but internally the A.I. was speechless, the improvements in Max's body were beyond what he had ever observed throughout his lifetime, currently, Max had the framework of an excellent warrior that could far surpass any vampire or human that he had met in his lifetime at tier0 or even tier 1.
His build was stable and his innate senses were extremely sharp.
It took years of intense battle experience and near-death experiences for a warrior to develop the innate senses that Max had gotten from his transformation.
The biggest plus point being that Max was much less likely to make dumb decisions in battle, which he made before.
Although Drax was happy, he did not wish to share this news with Max, lest the boy get a big head.
Max swung his sword a few times and practiced his fire attacks, happy to see that the Agni-Astra still worked as usual.
If there was one downside to his transformation, it was that even after transforming into a vampire he was still unable to wield mana.
It was like his status of being a ' manaless trash' did not change no matter what species he became.
Angry at this reality, Max blasted a Fireblast towards the sky, his attack blasting a hole through the clouds allowing sunlight to momentarily hit his body.
" Aghhhh ". Max instantly buckled to his knees when sunlight touched his skin as he began to rapidly lose HP

Max tried to block the sunlight with his palms trying to keep it out of his eyes, however, his palms began to sizzle and burn when exposed to the sun causing him immense pain and discomfort.
Thankfully, soon the clouds closed back up, blocking the sunlight away.
' Allergic to sunlight '. Severus noted in his diary as a new problem presented itself before Max.
" Bloody hell, vampires are actually weakened by sunlight? ". Max cursed as he asked Severus
He had grown up watching such tv shows where vampires were weakened by the sun, but he always thought it was an exaggerated myth.
" Actually no, while it was noted in history books that the early vampires were allergic to sunlight, the modern vampires have long developed immunity against it.
It's how evolution works.
Still, we don't sunbathe but roaming under the sun is no problem ". Severus said, pointing it out to Max that basically, he was a special case.
" Just perfect," Max said sarcastically as he dusted himself off
" What else is true? Are vampires also allergic to garlic and weak to silver? Can they not enter people's houses without permission? Do I have to fear the name ' Jesus '? " Max asked Severus in a spiteful tone, unhappy at the debuffs that the vampire race carried to their name.
Severus chose to either deliberately avoid the sarcasm inside Max's voice or he took pleasure in teasing Max as he replied
" Garlic - No, at least us modern vampires don't mind it, we use it to season our juicy steaks sometimes
Silver - yes, especially elven silver is more lethal to us than normal silver.
We are not allergic to it, we can wield silver weapons, it's just that clogging wounds caused by silver is more difficult for vampires so silver weapons cause more damage to us, that's all.
Entering people's houses without permission can get you killed if the owner is angry and stronger than you, but you won't die magically without a reason.
Come-On Max that's a dumb question.
As for Jesus, if you mean Gabriel Jesus the archangel, yes, fear him lots because he is a tier 8 killing machine.
Otherwise, I have no clue what the hell you are talking about ".
Max looked at the silly grin that Severus had plastered over his face and felt a deep urge to smack that stupid smile right off his face, however, knowing the power discrepancy between the two Max restrained his emotions.
Before Severus could continue his experiments any further, five massive battleships broke through the planet's atmosphere as Severus sighed deeply.
" Here come the elders, Max, why don't you run off into the basement before the clouds part and the sunlight burns you, I'll introduce you to everyone in just a bit ". Severus said in a half requesting half commanding tone as Max begrudgingly obeyed.
He could hear the sound of battleships landing behind him as he entered the lower levels of the lab. It seemed as if he had visitors.
Max had nothing against Severus the cartoon scientist/ sweeper, but he did not trust the species in general.
Having the opportunity, he immediately messaged Rudra, informing him about his coordinates and naming Saint Maximus, as he wrote a message to his brother.
" If you don't hear back from me within a day, I'm probably being held captive by the Saint Maximus clan ".
Max created his layer of safety, just in case the elders viewed him less like an individual and more like a resurrected lab rat.
