My Vampire 901

My Vampire System Chapter 901: Stuck in place

No news, no updates, nothing was heard. It was as if the tenth family had been set outside as
an
outcast. It was clear there had to be something going on, and Paul was starting to wonder if
this was a
tactic to put them on edge. The Longer they felt this way, they would eventually tire
themselves out,
and maybe that’s when they would return with another attack. The only good thing was that
the attack
hadn’t happened yet. They waited a few days and finally, something did happen.
None other than Prima, the new Royal knight, had been sent to deliver a message first-hand
at the north
gate. He had been sent alone. The towers weren’t activated, but even Sam, who was standing
at the
front, didn’t know how they worked.
‘Can it tell if he’s planning to attack us or something?’ Sam thought.
“Please bring me to your vampire knights straight away,” Prima demanded without stating
the reason
why he was there. However, Sam knew not to make them angry at this moment and started
to escort
him along with Dennis.
The two of them kept an eye on him the whole way, it was out of fear after having just been
attacked,
and Prima didn’t like it. As a Royal knight, he should have been respected, but the eyes of
the others
were looking at him like he was an enemy.
‘I should kill all of these misfits on the spot!’ Prima thought, but the words of the King,
Bryce were in his
head, and he wasn’t to cause a scene and deliver the message.
Eventually, they had sent Prima to a meeting room that had been created recently. It had
two offices
inside that were placed opposite each other. On one of them, it was filled with paperwork.
This was
where both Paul and Leo would work. It was obvious from a look which desk belonged to
who.
“I am here to inform you that a decision has been made,” Prima announced. “Quinn, the
tenth leader,
along with the one known as Alex, the blood fairy, will be executed at midday tomorrow.
Those in the
tenth family are to remain in their inner castle area and are not allowed to attend the event.
Those that
do not comply with this rule will be punished.
“After the execution has been done, there will be an investigation into the tenth family to
decide who is
directly involved with Dwight’s death from the tenth family. Attempting to leave will also be
punished. A
group of Royal guards will be placed around the castle to make sure no one leaves this area.
They have
been given permission to use force if an attempt is to be made.”
The terms that had been given were quite ridiculous, but both Paul and Leo knew that
saying anything
was pointless. The decision had been made, and complaining to the Royal knight would
mean nothing.
“Does this start from this very moment?” Paul asked.
“There is already a group keeping an eye on you to see if you are to leave this place. The
Royal guards
will be here soon. Make sure your towers and statues don’t attempt to attack the Royal
guards.
Otherwise there will be trouble.”
With that said, it looked like Prima didn’t even want to give them any more information, as
he was
already on his way out. Paul was just thankful the others weren’t there to hear what was said.
Especially
Peter, as he would have lashed out on the spot, possibly trying to fight with Prima.
Another worry was the towers. They didn’t know how they worked and were worried that
they could
possibly attack the Royal guards as they approached.
After much discussion between the two of them, Paul and Leo decided that they would call
all those that
were close to Quinn inside the usual dining room. They thought about not informing them,
but they
wanted to know how they felt so they could get an idea about what to do.
However, when everyone entered the room, there was one problem.
“Is there a reason why Logan and Peter aren’t here?” Paul asked.
“I couldn’t find them anywhere in the castle. Maybe they are somewhere in the inner castle
area?” Sam
replied.
“Oh, those two said they were going outside to look for some lab or something, outside the
vampire
settlement. They don’t know when they will be back.” Sil casually replied, as if it wasn’t a
problem at all.
“What!” Paul shouted, stunned. Although, he didn’t know if it was good timing or not. If
they had tried
to leave now, it would be impossible, but he was now shaking at the thought of them
returning and
finding out about Quinn.
Knowing the two, they would do whatever it cost to stop the execution.
Hearing that the two of them were going to a lab, Leo could only think of one place. The
place they had
discovered a while ago in the mountains. While there, they didn’t seem to have any troubles,
and Peter
was strong, but still, there would always be some type of worry.
“We can try and go look for them?” Layla suggested, seeing Paul shaking his head.
“That’s the problem. We can’t,” Paul replied. Just moments ago, he had received a message
from
Ashley, who had remained at the gates. The Royal guards had arrived to keep them in check.
But they
had also informed him that just before, they had a couple of visitors that had entered that
should be
joining them soon.
Paul explained to the others what they had been told by Prima, and the room fell silent as
they were
struggling about what to think.
“So, if we try to save Quinn, it basically means we are going against the king? Fighting all the
leaders?”
Layla asked. “But what choice do we have? They are basically telling us they are going to kill
Quinn.”
From the last conversation they had, Paul already knew everyone would fight trying to save
Quinn. In a
way, they also knew that if they didn’t, their lives might become worse, and death would be a
better
option. As ex humans and with no leader, they could only imagine how they would be
treated.
“That may not be the case.” A voice said, entering the room. The doors swung open, and two
people
were seen. It was the guest Paul had been expecting, Silver, along with her little brother Fex,
who was
darting his eyes around the room randomly.
“Fex!” Layla said. “You’re alive and look great!.”
But it was clear that Fex had no clue who Layla was or anyone else in the room.
“Hey, everyone, I’m sorry if I don’t know any of you? You know, I kind of have memory
problems, but
please treat me like you did before, and we can be cool, right?” He laughed nervously.
Although Fex coming back was a moment to be celebrated, their minds were still on the
most important
matter at hand, and wanted to know what Silver meant by her words.
“I had a meeting with Bryce, I don’t think he is planning to kill Quinn at this execution. At
least not yet
anyway. Before that, he wants to find the real person that killed Dwight, and he also knows
that there
might be a bigger threat coming our way.”
“A bigger threat?” Sam said. “Did something happen?”
Leo started to move and headed over to where Silver was standing. The others naturally
moved out of
Leo’s way.
“Haven’t we been around each other long enough to know you don’t have to do that around
me?” Leo
commented.
Some of their faces went red out of embarrassment. Those from the cursed ship didn’t know
Leo very
well, and seeing his eyes like they were all the time, just did what they had done out of
instinct.
“I guess you already told Bryce everything we have found out, which means it’s time for us to
tell all of
you,” Leo explained. “The ones framing Quinn, it seems they have been preparing for this for
a long
time.”
Silver nodded in agreement.
“We will explain what happened to us in the few days we were left, and once you know this,
we can
make our plan.”
The story both Leo and Silver were about to tell, was during the few days back, when they
met up with
the original eighth leader and what they had discovered that had held them up for so long.
My Vampire System Chapter 902: A vampire god
After having just saved Fex, the group were on their way back, running as fast as they could
through the
forest. This time, not caring what type of noise they made. The main reason being, right now,
inside the
large box that was being carried on Silver’s back was one of the eighth vampire knights.
Hopefully, this
would give them the answers they were looking for about who had attacked Fex and Kazz.
However, the group were currently stuck in the forest, having met with someone they never
thought
they would see. Fex and Nate were surrounded by around eight Bloodsuckers. Each one of
them
contained strength that surpassed their own, speed that matched theirs. To get out of this
one, they
couldn’t just rely on their power alone and would need to use their heads a little.
The main problem was the original vampire that appeared with them, named Remus. Silver
was on her
knees, unwilling to fight someone that her eyes were never meant to look at. From the time
she was
born, she had been told that their very existence, what they were, was due to these people.
She felt like if THEY wished their life was meant to not exist, then it was something that was
meant to
be. In a way, the original vampires were like vampire gods, and what punishment would a
vampire get
for harming a said god?
The good thing for her, there was a man who didn’t care who was in front of him. He strived
to get
stronger day by day, and he was ready to slice down whoever stood in his path, and Leo had
done that
very thing.
Lacing his sword with the second stage of Qi, Leo was able to cut off Remus’ hand.
“What kind of sword is that!” Remus spoke while grasping the end of his wound.
The sword was unable to cut through his hand until this point, so why would it be able to
now? The
reason was due to the way Leo had used the second stage of Qi. The second stage was a
casting over
one’s weapons rather than an infusion to give it strength.
However, with Leo’s ability, he had more control than anyone. He was able to change the
shape of the
casting to such a degree it was as if he had covered his sword with another sword made out
of Qi. It was
almost a pure Qi strike that Remus had received.
What was even more shocking though, was how the wound wasn’t healing like it would
before. Remus
would be able to grow his entire arm back if something like this had happened to him, but it
wasn’t
happening now.
Down onward, from the middle of his forearm, the cut had been made and his hand was
laying there on
the floor. He could feel the fairy blood and another substance flowing through his body.
First, Remus
removed the fairy blood with his blood control, but his wound still didn’t heal. Thinking fast,
Remus
decided to use his other hand to slice off his arm from the shoulder downward.
It fell to the floor, and soon a whole new limb was seen growing from his body.
‘This healing speed, it reminds me of Peter.’ Leo thought. The strange thing was, when Peter
healed his
body, it would take up the energy inside his body. Eventually, that energy would run out, and
it would
need to be replenished with human flesh.
When Leo saw Remus regrow the arm, it looked like no energy was used at all.
“You have an interesting body?” Leo commented.
“Interesting?” Remus repeated. “No one would speak of that if they knew the curse we
carried!” Remus
shouted as he held out both hands, and started to fire out blood bullets towards Leo.
With his sword, covered in the Qi. He was strong enough to deflect each of the bullets, and
after eight
had been fired and had been deflected, Leo could see that the fingers that had fired were in
the middle
of healing. Shooting out the ninth bullet from one hand and the tenth blood bullet from the
other,
knowing these would be the last shots while he needed time to recover, Leo made sure to
change his
second stage Qi from a cutting form, to a grabbing form. When hitting the bullets this time,
he was able
to spin his body to add extra power in his step and hitting it with the side of his sword, he
grabbed the
bullets making them appear as if they were hovering when touching his sword, and swung
them back,
sending them towards Remus.
They had hit his body, but he absorbed them like a sponge seeing with no harm done, other
than a few
holes in the clothes he was wearing. Soon though, Leo was upon him, and swung his blades
aiming for
his hands once again.
Remus could see the movements and pulled back, but his hands seemed to be dragging
behind as if they
weren’t listening to him.
‘No, that’s not right. It’s as if my hand is moving towards the blade!’ Soon his fingers were
being diced
up By Leo, falling off like sausages to the floor. Leo had used his soul weapon to make
Remus’ body
move in different ways, the person in front of him right now, wasn’t as strong as Rowa.
“I know you can heal from this, but can you heal quicker than it takes me to strike at your
heart?” Leo
asked, staying as calm as ever.
“You are annoying!” Remus shouted, making a fist even without his fingers, and suddenly,
his arm was
chucked back, recoiling off in the air. He fired off a blood cannon. A large red ball of aura
came out from
his fists and this was something Leo couldn’t block with his sword, it was too close to spread
his second
stage Qi.
Hitting him, he was chucked back, and sent skidding across the floor. The blood cannon
was a large ball
of red energy. It wasn’t sharp like the blood swipe. He had managed to block some of it with
his sword,
but not without taking a large blow to his stomach. On the outside, his skin was barely hurt,
but his
internal organs felt like they had all been ruptured in some way, and the blood coming out
from Leo’s
mouth was proof of it.
Nate, and Fex had their hands full, fighting the Bloodsuckers. Due to their speed and
strength, the two
of them were staying close together. It was only thanks to a combination of them both they
had
managed to survive but in total they had taken out only one of the Bloodsuckers’ and soon
Nate’s
shadow Mc points would run out, as the Bloodsuckers strength was strong.
“What are you doing, Silver!” Fex shouted, looking at his sister, who still hadn’t moved. “You
said you
were my sister, right? You know, when you told me that and I saw you fighting against that
other
person, I thought you were really cool. I thought I can’t believe I have a sister like this, but
now, you’re
just going to stand there and let that man kill us all. You have to do something! Help him!
Right now,
you’re a disappointment!”
Maybe the words of others wouldn’t have gotten through to her with the state she was in, but
hearing
the words from her brother, the one she deeply cared for, and the one who she worried most
about
what he would think of her, had hit her a certain way.
There was also another thing that gave her confidence, seeing the fight between Leo and
Remus, this
man was no God. When Leo was close with his blade, he had a fear in his eyes. A god
wouldn’t show
fear.
She stood up from where she was standing and grabbed the doll with her strings, ready to
join in the
fight. However, turning around, she soon saw that both of Remus’ hands had healed and
another blood
cannon was coming her way.
The only thing she could do was place the doll in front of herself, and block the attack. As
soon as it hit
the doll, its limbs were torn apart, removed from the threads of string that tied them
together, and its
torso was sent hitting her own body with the blood cannon. The powerful attack was felt in
her gut, and
the wind was knocked out of her.
“You are all idiots, this could have been a lot easier,” Remus said, now having fully recovered,
looking
like he hadn’t been in a fight at all, apart from his clothing looking different to before.
Both of his arms were ready again, and firing out another blood canon would finish the two
of them off.
Getting up off the ground, Leo was able to use Qi to strengthen his organs, so he could
continue on the
fight. For how long while they were still heavily damaged, he didn’t know.
‘This is going to be a hard fight alone, but I don’t think it’s one I will lose.’ Leo thought.
“Guys!” Fex cried, but no matter how much he wanted to help, he and Nate were stuck in the
middle of
the Bloodsuckers, but at that moment, black mist started to appear from Fex’s earning.
Something that
had never happened before.
The mist was starting to take portal-like shape, and as two Bloodsuckers jumped towards
them, a large
claw as big as a human body appeared, slicing the two of them in half. Out from the black
portal was
none other than the Boneclaw.
“What the hell is that!” Fex shouted, never seeing a beast like that before, and it had
appeared from his
earring of all things. “Was that me, did I do that! Maybe it’s like the bull? Hey Bonney, save
them!”
The Boneclaw looked towards Fex, with its hollow dead eyes. It made him realise straight
away that he
was not the one in charge of it.
“Why, why is the Boneclaw belonging to him here!” Remus said, his body trembling in
horror at the
thought of who belonged to.
My Vampire System Chapter 903: Boneclaw's promise
The instant the Boneclaw had appeared, it was as if everyone in front of Remus had
disappeared. His
only focus was on the strange creature that had seemingly sprung out of nowhere.
The one who had realised this the most, was Leo. He could tell by the change in his aura as it
flickered in
response. The only thing he didn’t understand was why? How would it come to be that these
two knew
each other? However, Leo wasn’t going to waste this opportunity. While Remus was
unfocused, they
could use this time to recover.
He quickly opened the lid of the flask that had been given to each of them and started to
drink the blood
inside. Quinn was cautious about them going away in the first place and wouldn’t let them
leave without
taking one, not that Leo wouldn’t have. Silver, upon seeing Leo doing this, did the same.
Soon their
bodies were healing on the go.
Silver, now no longer hesitating, knew what she had to do. The only reason why she had
survived was
due to the robust puppet, but now her father’s gift was seemingly destroyed. Stretching out
her
fingertips, a string from the ends appeared and started to attach to the torn body parts from
the Doll all
around.
Soon the body parts started moving towards the torso piece. With some quick hand
movements, the
Doll was nearly in the same condition as before and could be used in the same way as well.
‘It’s a good thing this thing isn’t alive. If it gets destroyed again, I will just rebuild it!’
While the two of them were preparing for a second round with Remus, both Fex and Nate
were staring
at the strange creature in front of them. They still had all the Bloodsuckers surrounding
them. Now
though, they looked small. The Boneclaw itself was slightly larger than the Bloodsuckers,
and its limbs
and claws were nearly three times longer as it touched the floor.
“Hey, that thing’s on our side, right?” Fex whispered over to Nate.
“Our side, does it look like it’s on our side? And besides, weren’t you the one that summoned
it with
your vampire mumbo jumbo magic?” Nate answered quite frantically. The reason being, he
was hoping
the strange beast that had just sliced one of the Bloodsuckers was on their side.
In an instant, the Boneclaw started to enter a black portal, and soon a claw was seen coming
out
towards one of the Bloodsuckers. It tried to hit the claw back, but its long sharp fingers just
sliced
through the Bloodsucker’s hands, and with the Boneclaw’s other arm, it sliced upward,
cutting the
Bloodsucker into four separate parts like butter.
The great weakness of the Bloodsuckers were that they didn’t have much health. If there was
a vampire
or beast that could overpower it and manage to hit it, then they were easy to deal with.
Although the Boneclaw’s movements with its legs weren’t fast, its long hands were quick as
ever. With
its ability to teleport to any position it wanted to in a short area, it didn’t need to be quick on
its feet.
Soon, the others saw this became the outcome, as one by one the Bloodsuckers were ripped
apart. The
Boneclaw teleported to each one, finishing them off in one or two blows. It didn’t take long,
but the
Bloodsuckers that were proving to be a threat for both Nate and Fex, were no longer a threat.
Turning around, it then started to look towards Remus. Its hollow eyes stared at him, and
slowly it
started to walk over.
‘The two young boys won’t be much help in this fight, but maybe the creature that Quinn
carries can
help us.’ Leo thought.
However, there was no way for them to communicate with it, Leo would just have to be
happy for now
that it was on their side.
Now knowing that Remus had a few tricks up his sleeve, Leo went for a different approach.
He swung his
blade out, firing off a blood swipe. Silver did the same but not getting closer and tried to get
her Doll to
charge in.
She knew her strings wouldn’t be strong enough to hold him, so she could only rely on her
skills
controlling the Doll.
Remus avoided Leo’s strike, but he decided to take on the Doll’s six limbs which each held a
sword in its
hands. He hardened the outside of his body with the blood hardening skill and took the
impact head on.
The Doll was stronger than expected, as a few cuts appeared on his body, but this was never
the goal in
the first place, because right behind him, the Boneclaw had teleported and was striking
down its claw on
top of his head.
Moving over to the side, Remus allowed for the claw to go through the side of his neck, but
after digging
in a few inches, it had stopped there.
The group thought their three pronged attack had worked, but instead, a smile had
appeared on Remus’
face.
“You are not as strong as you were before. Why is that? Is it because your master isn’t here?
Is this all
the energy you can muster while on your own!” Remus shouted, and as if reacting to his
shout, a red
energy could be seen emanating from the wound, which had completely destroyed the
Boneclaw’s claw.
The arm has been hit and could no longer be seen. It was leaving behind a trail of mist and
nothing else.
It backed away, teleporting elsewhere, but Leo didn’t let up. He now was constantly
throwing out blood
strikes. He was being conservative before, for fear it would use up the blood in his body, but
if he didn’t
try something, they could all very well end up dying.
Holding out his hands, Remus started to move them slightly, and at the same time, it looked
as if the
blood swipes moved as well. They eventually were thrown off course, and without Remus
moving they
crashed into the trees and floor around him.
“You have no blood control, do you? Are you really a vampire knight?” Remus mocked.
The doll Silver was controlling once again tried to attack Remus. This time, he didn’t use the
blood
hardening and allowed for the blades to pierce his body, creating several cuts all over from
head to toe.
Then, just like with the wound the Boneclaw had made, from all the wounds themselves
they started to
glow a faint red. The colour got brighter and brighter, eventually letting off a flash of red.
The others turned away at the energy. Leo went over to the other two in the Tenth family
spreading out
his Qi, hoping to shield them from what might come.
When the red aura and light dimmed, the Doll this time wasn’t just torn apart. It looked like
it had been
ripped into a million small little pieces.
‘Our family’s sacred treasure was destroyed just like that.’ Silver thought, as she looked down
at the
pieces of the Doll.
The situation was bad, and it looked like the original leader had another trick up his sleeve
still.
‘If I use my soul weapon, maybe I can take some of his energy and redirect it into me. With
the Qi
control, I should be able to make sure I don’t take too much of his energy to turn me into
one of those
beasts, but maybe that’s what’s needed to defeat him.’ Leo thought.
He was thinking of anything to get out of the situation they were in.
At that moment, the Boneclaw was seen standing next to Fex. It looked at him as if it
wanted to say
something, but no words had left its mouth until one had entered his head.
‘Master, master!’ A high pitched voice was heard in Fex’s head. It was none other than his
little
companion known as Ham. ‘The Boneclaw, it says it wants you to call all the others to where
you are?’
“What, and why would that be of any help?” Fex argued.
With its hand that was uninjured, the Boneclaw lifted one single finger and started to draw a
circle.
Following its long finger, a purple line could be seen and when the line connected to its
original starting
point, what looked like a dark portal had opened.
It was one no one had seen before though, and a colour unrecognisable to the others.
Seeing this and thinking that the Boneclaw was at least on his side, he decided to call out to
the others.
“Everyone, get over here, come on quickly!” Fex shouted, and he was the first one to jump
through the
strange portal.
Silver, picking up the large box, followed after her brother, soon running in, along with Nate
and the last
one, Leo.
“Where do you think you’re going!” Remus shouted. The cuts on his body still hadn’t healed,
but it
looked like he was using his own blood to somehow power himself. He formed it into a
blood net, and
soon threw it out towards the portal everyone had jumped through.
Seeing this, Leo resorted to one last thing. He sliced the ground beneath him quickly into a
square and
continued to run forward. Then when he was at the top half of the square he had cut, he
slammed his
foot down to create a wall between the two of them.
The net sliced through the wall crumbling it, and when the wall fell, Remus could see no
one. The others
had escaped, the question was, where had they gone?
On the other side of the portal the Boneclaw had created, they were all looking at the area
they were in.
It was one none of them had ever seen before.
“It can’t be…” Silver said. “Are we in the…familiar world?”
My Vampire System Chapter 904: A strange new world
The energy sensed from Remus was building up, and Leo could feel it. He knew that Remus
still had a lot
left in the tank even after fighting and using so many abilities. Although Leo and Silver
weren’t hurt, it
was hard to imagine them winning without getting seriously hurt in the process or losing
something of
importance.
However, Leo was clear what their goal was, it was to bring back the vampire knight in one
piece, not to
defeat Remus. If he was on his own, then maybe he would use everything he had in his
arsenal to try to
defeat the person in front of him, only risking his own life. He had even considered that for a
second,
but the problem was what that would cost?
Which was why, when he saw an out to their situation being created by the mysterious
Boneclaw. He
decided to take it. The energy that was coming from the portal was one similar to the
familiar’s. It
wasn’t a portal that he was used to or had seen before himself either. Knowing the creature
belonged to
Quinn, he thought it would do them no harm, or at least he hoped.
When each of them went through, it worked the same as the other teleporters they had used.
An odd
feeling that only lasted for a few seconds before they were chucked into whatever was on the
other
side. This was when they found themselves in a place that was unrecognisable to any planet
they had
ever been on. They rubbed their eyes as they looked upon everything around them.
Everything was covered in a green and blue hue that seemed to stem from the sky. It was
reflecting onto
the trees and the ground they stood on. Large mountainous terrains were spread everywhere,
while the
mystical colours could be seen floating about. Creatures were flying through the strange
giant clouds
that seemed to all be formed together, yet moved in a way that felt like it was its own.
The creatures they could see, all were lit strangely as if they were surrounded by a glowing
substance. It
all seemed mystical. What stood out the most though, was what was floating about
everywhere through
the air. There were glowing balls the same size as a snowball. Millions surrounded them and
spread out
all over the place as far as they could see.
Keeping an eye on the strange slow moving balls. It looked like when the creatures got close
to these
strange balls, that they would absorb them into their body. Temporally giving their body a
greater glow.
There was only one person who had the faintest idea where they could be, and that was
Silver.
Something she had studied, but she had only heard words being described of this place, so
she was
unsure.
“This can’t be, is this the Familiar world?” She blurted out, trying to match it to what she
had read in the
past. Something that was discovered long ago by the tenth family’s original leader. He had
written it
down in his journal describing the place he had been to, but no one else had been to it, so
others
thought he may have made it up. Still, it was something that was gone through with
students when
learning about familiars.
It was clear now that this place really did exist, and for some reason, the Boneclaw was able
to bring
them all here.
“The familiar world? Is this another planet?” Nate asked.
“If what I read is correct, this is not another planet. It’s almost as if we are in another
universe different
to our own, but also connected. This is where the familiars like the Boneclaw you saw before
come
from. This is where they rest and contracts are formed making a bridge between our two
worlds.” Silver
explained, although she didn’t feel like she was the best expert to explain this, for she really
didn’t know
what this place was really either.
“If the Boneclaw could have done this, why didn’t it do this from the beginning to hide us
then?” Fex
asked.
That was a question, that none of them knew and they wondered where even the Boneclaw
was.
“Hey!” Nate shouted. “Where are you!”
Nate realised that to get out of this place, they would most likely need the Boneclaw to
create a portal
back as well, but the Boneclaw was nowhere to be seen.
“What are you doing!” Silver shouted at Nate. “Are you an idiot, what if a familiar comes and
attacks us?
Not all of them are followers of vampires. In fact some of them love to fight and try to test
their strength
against vampires.”
Of course, Nate knew nothing about familiars, so he was unaware and he felt like lately he
had been
getting scolded by Silver a lot.
“I think we better hurry and find the Boneclaw. It won’t do us well to stay here for long.” Leo
interrupted them.
“What do you mean?” Fex asked.
At that very moment, from each of them, a small ball of energy was seen lifting from their
bodies, it
looked almost identical to that of the small glowing balls they could see all around them.
When it left
their bodies it joined up with the other millions of balls of energy, they suddenly all felt a
little weaker
and lightheaded.
“What just happened to us?” Silver said, grabbing her head.
Leo was probably the only one that understood what was happening. For the energy that was
leaving
their body, was Qi.
“What just left your body, was your Qi. What we also call it though, is life energy. I think I
know why the
Boneclaw didn’t bring us here. Because this world, the creatures here. They all feed off our
life energy. If
we stay here too long, soon all the Qi will escape from our bodies, and when it eventually
runs out, it
will start to take our life force as well.” Leo explained.
Maybe they wouldn’t have believed Leo’s words, or trusted him too much before the light
had left their
bodies, but they had all felt it, and linking the two, they could see what he had said made
sense.
The problem was, what direction should they go in? There wasn’t a clear path anywhere, and
everywhere looked almost the same.
“The mask doesn’t seem to be working here either, so we can’t contact Quinn.” Nate said
with the mask
in his hand, which he had summoned from his shadow.
“The good thing is our abilities still work in this world , but we are on a time limit.” Closing
his eyes, Leo
started to try to spread his ability as far as possible so he could sense everything around
them. Hoping
to find the Boneclaw this way.
Doing this, he was unable to see the finer details, and if other things were to attack them
that were
close, it was possible that he would be unaware of them, but with the others around him he
thought it
was quite safe to do this.
Opening his eyes, it seemed like there was some good news.
“The creatures from this world, or familiars as you call them. They all seem to be heading to
one place,
as if something had caught their interest. Maybe that is the Boneclaw, or it could be
something else
altogether. I usually would say it was unsafe to go towards the dangerous unknown. But we
don’t really
have the time to be wandering around this area either.”
“Agreed.” Silver said, and soon all of them were heading off towards where the familiars were
heading.
Letting the others walk in front, Leo decided to walk at the back of the group. What he
didn’t inform the
others about, was he had sensed one of the familiars following them from behind. It wasn’t
one he had
felt before, and it stayed a distance away from them, as if it was curious.
For the time being Leo would leave it, as they continued their journey, ready to face it if
necessary.
What Leo didn’t know, was the familiar wasn’t interested in the group. It was interested, in
him.
My Vampire System Chapter 905: Leo's little friend
The group continued to travel being directed by Leo. They passed many giant mushrooms
that were as
large as trees, that had yellow or green tints. Small little familiar bugs scurried everywhere
across the
floor.
Eventually, they no longer needed Leo to guide them because they could see many of the
creatures
heading a certain way. It was as if they all hurried towards a big event to the point that they
all ignored
these outsiders.
Just then, Nate saw what resembled a large deer go past them, but it didn’t look like just any
regular old
deer. This one had antlers that were two times the size of its body towering over it’s head.
“So are familiars something all vampires can get?” Nate asked, after developing an interest in
the
surrounding creatures.
“It seems to require a certain aptitude, yet there are not many who want one in the first
place.” Silver
replied. “Vampire knights can choose to connect with a familiar through a ceremony, which
opens the
link between this world and our world. We offer them a drop of our blood, so they can sense
our
power.”
“The familiars are not supposed to reveal the secrets of their world, so while we don’t really
know things
for certain we can speculate. Those familiars that wish to form a bond, will fight over each
other and the
winner eventually forms the contract with the vampire who had initiated the ceremony.”
“Then what about your brother? How come he’s got that flying bull when he’s not a vampire
knight?”
Nate questioned.
Hearing this, Fex touched his earring as it started to vibrate a little. Ham clearly knew they
were talking
about him.
‘So you’re my familiar, huh, I wonder how I got you?’
“As a rite of passage direct descendants also go through a ceremony to connect with a
familiar. The
chances for one appearing are quite low, although there have been cases when direct
descendants
managed to get familiars later on in their life, despite none appearing during that first
ceremony. It’s
unclear why, and the most popular theory in that regard is that either one can somehow gain
the
necessary aptitude to summon one.”
“Rarely there are also cases where familiars appear on their own in our world. We don’t really
know
how this happens but they also can connect with vampires of their choosing. My brother is
such a
special case, where Ham appeared on his own before Fex came of age for the rite of passage.”
Silver
explained.
“That being said, I can see that you seem to d.e.s.i.r.e to contract one, but you really
shouldn’t. The
reason they are not popular even among regular vampires who would be able to connect
with familiars
is because many have died because of their familiars.”
“They are quite strange. Each one is unique when deciding what they are attracted to. When
you make a
contract it’s almost as if you don’t hold up your end of the deal, it will try to kill you.”
Listening to Silver speak, and looking at the familiars, Nate was wondering just how strong
they were?
He knew that beasts had their own power ranking with some having almighty power, so was
it the same
for these familiars? If they could kill vampires then they had to have some strength, and the
Boneclaw
from earlier was definitely stronger than himself.
It was safe to say, if they did get into a fight, underestimating the familiars was not a good
idea. Their
journey so far had been relatively safe, although they saw many different types of familiars
pass by them
and come up close through the mushroom forest, not one of them seemed to be aggressive.
‘So Ham, is this really the world where you came from?’ Fex asked, wanting to know more
about his
little companion that had helped him.
‘Kinda.” Ham replied. ‘Our world is large, and this is the first time I’ve been to this area.
Besides, I hardly
come back here. When I’m resting in your earring, I can choose to see what you see, or head
back here
until you call me, but I choose to look after my master. Besides, your world is way more
interesting than
anything that is going on here.’
‘Then do you have any idea why all the familiars are going somewhere?’ Fex asked.
‘I have no idea, but maybe they felt something. I could come out and try to see, but I’m a
little worried
that If I do come out of the earring then I will act just like them, and what if I get split up
from you
again?’ Ham replied.
It was clear that Ham and Fix shared a good bond. It looked like he would have to treat his
little familiar
to something once they returned.
Suddenly, vibrations through the ground could be felt, the mushrooms heads seemed to
shrivel slightly
as if they were reacting to what was happening. The vibrations continued one after another
as if
something large was walking.
It was clear whatever it was had quite some weight to it, which was strange considering the
size they
had seen of everything before, but then they all could finally see what was heading their
way.
Towering over the giant mushrooms was a creature of titanic proportions. It walked on all
fours and was
three times bigger than an African elephant. What was most notable was it’s long winding
neck like that
of the old dinosaurs and its large single ready eye with two horns sticking out of its head.
“That things enormous!” Nate couldn’t help but say. “If that was a beast it looks like it would
at least be
a demon tier beast! It’s almost as big as the giant crab we fought.”
“How foolish are you?” Asked Silver. “You can’t base everything on size alone. There are
plenty of beasts
that are small yet far more powerful than you would think, so just because one is large
doesn’t mean it
has the strength or speed to match it.”
It was very true, especially since humanoid beasts that were the same size as humans were
said to be
the strongest. Still, even though Silver spoke her words, she had to admit there did seem to
be some
strong power radiating off of it, as it glowed more than the others and the floating balls were
quickly
being absorbed by the large beast.
In the middle of their small argument, once again they felt something pulling away from
their bodies.
Their heads started to feel light headed and then another ball of energy escaped from each
and every
one of them.
By now, the beast wasn’t too far away from them, and the ball of glowing energy that had left
their
bodies, started to immediately head towards the large beast. Just like all the other balls of
energy, it’s
large body absorbed them and it started to glow.
However, as soon as it did, it looked down to where the energy had come from.
“It seems to like the taste, and now wants seconds!” Fex started to panic.
The long neck started to swoop down towards them, diving down like a snake flying through
the air.
Seeing this, each one of them relied on themselves, but they were all feeling a little weak
after just
having some of their energy taken away from them.
‘If I fight using Qi, then it will only mean my demise will be quicker.’ Leo thought about
grabbing his
sword, trying to think of the best option, but it seemed like he wouldn’t need to act.
The energy that had been following them, the small but powerful energy started to hop
between the
smaller mushrooms. Going from one to the other at a great speed. It eventually hopped onto
the largest
mushroom in the area, and when the beast’s head was close, it leapt up to meet it.
“What’s that little black thing?” Nate asked.
It was quite hard to see from a distance, but what was obvious was the size difference. It
looked like a
mouse going up against a cat, when finally a small paw was placed on the giant familiar’s
head. A pulse
of energy was felt as ripples were seen going through the air, sending the beast’s head away.
The small black object landed back on the mushrooms and it looked like the large family
was now
continuing off on its way to where it was going once before.
‘Did that little thing just save us?’ Nate wondered.
The small black object started to hop from mushroom to mushroom, and eventually was
running
towards the group, noticing that they got startled and got ready for battle.
“Don’t draw your weapons! It’s not planning to hurt us!” Leo held them back.
They were unsure though, but it wasn’t like they could stop it if they could, as it ran past all
of them,
only to hop on the top of Leo’s shoulder.
Soon, sat on top of Leo’s bald head, seemingly claiming the spot for itself.
“Meow.” The cat went, l.i.c.k.i.n.g it’s paw.
“A cat?” Fex blurted out, able to see that familiar was a black cat, with big eyes, and a small
red slit
down the middle of it’s forehead.
“Well, it looks like someone wants to make a contract?” Silver pointed out, giving Leo a
smile.
My Vampire System Chapter 906: Keep your d.e.s.i.r.e strong
All the others were staring at what was lying on top of Leo’s head. They were looking his way
and
couldn’t keep their eyes off of it, although Leo couldn’t tell this. There was no reaction from
their auras
after all, but the reason for them doing such a thing was simple. It was because they were
looking at
what had decided to lie its fat body on top of Leo’s head.
It had spread its body wide and had its two large paws dangling on top of Leo’s forehead just
shy of
reaching his eyebrows.
The others seeing this, we’re all thinking along similar lines. ‘Cute,’ They thought.
“Hey Leo, you do know what’s on top of your head right now, right?” Nate asked. “I mean, I
know you
can’t see, but you should still be able to feel it.”
Leo’s reaction to the whole thing was what had startled them the most. He didn’t move, he
didn’t try to
attack the creature, and he acted as if everything was completely normal.
“Of course, I can feel it,” Leo replied, which was a relief to the others when he said this. “I
know it has
been following us for a while, but just like humans, creatures emit a different aura when they
are
preparing to attack. This little one has been following us for a while now, and it has no
intention of
harming us. Although I have to admit, I never thought that it would end up protecting us.”
Those words reminded them that although the cat looked cute now, yawning and lying on
top of Leo’s
bald head, it just managed to repel a giant beast with a single paw. Making Silver’s point
from before,
very valid. That it wasn’t the size of the creatures that mattered.
“Well, it just means this familiar is very special. Do you know what it is?” Nate asked,
turning to Silver,
the knowledge dropper of the group.
She didn’t mind explaining things. Since her teacher days, she was used to it, and Nate
actually was her
student at one point. Which was probably why Nate found it natural to ask her questions.
“No, I’m afraid I don’t. But you have to remember, the familiar world is large, just as large as
ours. There
may be even more familiars than humans, and amongst them, there will be special ones. We
have
familiars that we know of and have recorded, but I can’t say I have them all to memory, nor
do I know
which this one is.” Silver explained.
At that moment, the cat finally looked like it had finished taking its little rest and hopped
down from
Leo’s head. Now it was on the floor, on all of its fours. The others could see that the cat was
quite fat. It
had a large round body, making its head look relatively small, but this just made its
appearance even
cuter.
“What a fat cat,” Fex commented.
Immediately, The cat turned its head and held out its paw. Seeing this and remembering
what happened
earlier, Fex flinched and held his arms up to protect himself. Closing his eyes, after a few
seconds, he felt
nothing.
When he looked back at the cat, it was simply just liking its paw, then what appeared to be a
grin on the
cat’s face appeared.
‘No, did that cat just trick me?’
For that to have happened, the familiar must have had a good grasp on the human language
and at the
same time have a high level of intelligence.
Its next set of movements were strange, the paw it was l.i.c.k.i.n.g until now, it suddenly dug
one of its
sharp teeth that looked like a fang into it. Blood was now pouring from the paw. It held it
upwards and
was holding it towards Leo.
“I was right. It looks like the familiar is looking to make a contract.” Said Silver. “Although it’s
not the
conventional way, it seems insistent.”
Leo looked at the cat for a few seconds and stared at its two eyes, not looking away. It was as
if the two
were locked in a battle where neither one of them could blink.
“Leo has won this battle, that’s for sure,” Nate whispered to Fex. “How can ‘He’ Lose a staring
competition?”
Drawing his sword, Leo hovered it an inch above his own finger.
“What is it that you want in return, and how do you know I will be the one to give you what
you are
looking for?” Leo asked.
The others heard nothing, but in reality, the two of them were speaking to each other, as the
cat was
able to send its voice directly to Leo so only he could hear.
“You have a d.e.s.i.r.e stronger than I have ever felt before. Even now, you are filled with
energy, all for
the sake of improving yourself. I never thought I would meet a human that would match my
taste.
Several drops of blood have entered the familiar world, all of them so dull and
straightforward, your’s is
interesting.
“As long as your d.e.s.i.r.e stays strong, I and you will not have a problem, and you will be
helped out in
many ways to come. We, familiars, live a simple life, and we don’t ask for much. Besides,
without my
help, you all will not survive this place. For helping you, all I ask is to come with you.”
Most of what the familiar said, he did not care about, but the last words were what had
affected Leo the
most.
“What is your name?” Leo asked.
“My name is Ovinnik, just remember to always have your d.e.s.i.r.e, or things could go very
wrong.”
Having heard enough, Leo moved his blade an inch, making a cut on his thumb. A trickle of
blood started
to fall, and immediately the familiars in the area started to turn their way.
However, slamming its paw onto the ground, another pulse of energy was sent outward, and
the others
soon stopped. They ignored them, continuing to go onward to their destination.
Leo and the cat walked closer together until eventually, both wounds had touched each
other and
finally, they could feel an exchange of energies within each other. A few seconds later, and
the cat
started to glow brightly until it had disappeared and now, on Leo’s forehead, between his
eyebrows just
slightly above, he had a black circle appear.
“Although I do not know what or who that familiar is, it certainly seems you have made a
strong ally that
will help us in the future.” Silver said with a smile.
‘Where’s my familiar!’ Nate complained and wanted to shout out. ‘Give me something cool
like that
deer from earlier or something.’
Alas, it seemed like nothing was interested in Nate.
“Let’s go,” Leo ordered. “It says what we are looking for is in this direction.”
The others didn’t argue, they knew that Leo and his new familiar must have been
communicating, and
the cat seemed to be directing them in the same direction as they were heading in any way,
along with
all the beasts.
Soon though, the terrain started to change as they left the mushroom forest, and the purple
skies had
gone dark, turning into a black grey colour. They were now at the base of a large mountain in
front of
them, and there were no signs of other life anywhere in the area.
Stepping out from the forest, they could see hundreds of different sized familiars all heading
over to one
place, and now they were part of this group as well.
‘You’re telling me, not one of these guys is interested in partnering up with me?’ Nate
continued to
think about it, but he soon stopped as they could finally see what they were looking for.
Up ahead, all the creatures had stopped and were gathered around something. In what
looked similar to
a type of throne made from bones, sitting down was none other than the Boneclaw.
All of the familiars were heading to the undead king, to give their respects as he had
returned to this
area in a long time.
My Vampire System Chapter 907: The Undead King
Standing on the open black hard ground, they could see that the area was covered with
familiars of all
different shapes and sizes.
They had formed a semi circle roughly ten meters away from where the Boneclaw was
sitting.
“This is crazy, they seem to be treating the Boneclaw like some sort of king.” Nate noted,
amazed and a
little bit jealous of the treatment.
Their group were in the middle of thousands of familiars and they hadn’t taken a step
forward just like
the rest of them, for fear they would be doing something out of place.
“I thought it was just a nickname, but it looks like it might be a deserved title instead.” Silver
mumbled
to herself.
“What name is that?” Nate just had to ask.
“The Undead King.”
Finally, it looked like something was happening, as one familiar stepped out amongst all the
familiars
and started to walk towards the Boneclaw.
It was the large antler deer they had seen earlier. When half a meter in front of the throne, it
bowed its
head slightly. The faint glow around its body started to brighten bit by bit.
Soon after a white glowing ball came out from the deer and flew towards the Boneclaw.
The deer repeated this process several times and when it stopped the initial glow around the
creature’s
body had dimmed to a level where it was barely visible.
Soon after it quickly left the scene heading back to its space and when it did the surrounding
balls in the
area were being attracted to the deer. Once it had absorbed a few of them the deer regained
its glow
once again.
After the deer had left the next familiar stepped forwards and did the same. More and more
familiars
joined. Without seemingly speaking to each other they orderly came forwards and offered
up the
shining balls to the Boneclaw who kep absorbing them.
Seeing everything Leo was trying to guess what was happening.
‘The balls of energy, I thought they looked and felt familiar but now it’s starting to make a
little more
sense.’ He thought. ‘They are exactly the same as QI, which also explains why what comes
out of our
bodies is QI as well. The QI is able to be absorbed into their bodies unlike ours. Is this why
they have a
fascination with connecting to the Human World, but then why have the familiars chosen to
make
contact with the vampires?’
From what Leo had learnt so far Vampires didn’t seem too knowledgeable about QI in
general. In fact,
he had yet to meet a single vampire that knew about it and when he had tried to teach the
vampire
students they had been unable to.
Of course, there weren’t many humans that knew about it either but from his experience
they had
varying degrees of potential in allowing it to grow in their bodies.
After a few of the familiars had finished going forward they had eventually stopped and for
the first time
the Boneclaw stood up from its seat.
It’s menacing size was apparent and it was clear he had an overbearing power here.
‘This guy, how dare he act like he owns this place? He didn’t even ask me for permission
before taking
everyone’s power.’ A voice spoke inside Leo’s head. It wasn’t hard for him to figure out who it
belonged
to, since he had already heard it not long ago.
‘From the way you’re speaking, am I correct in assuming that you are actually the leader of
this place?’
Leo asked the black cat that had disappeared after leaving the black mark on his forehead.
‘Indeed and you have even correctly assumed that it’s ‘just’ this place. As far as I know you
have several
leaders in charge of different territories as well. He’s lucky that he came across my territory
and I’m in a
good mood since I met you because of his actions. If he had tried this in any of the other
places, there
would be hell to pay.”
“Especially for him as he is right now. I have seen him a couple of times, but this is the first
time he
seems so… weak. Has the person he contracted with not let him fulfill his d.e.s.i.r.e? Maybe
he didn’t
choose the best person this time.’
The cat sure was talkative, but Leo was happy about it, since he had been able to learn a lot.
The
Boneclaw that Quinn had obtained and the black cat that Leo obtained, both of them
appeared to be
strong powerful figures in the Familiar World.
However, Leo found it strange that the cat claimed that the Boneclaw was weak. He had seen
it help the
others and it certainly didn’t seem like something that could be described as such. It also
made Leo
question just how powerful it was under normal circ.u.mstances…
Looking at the Boneclaw standing up, this was when the others realised something different
about him
compared to the rest of the familiers.
It lacked the faint glow around its body. It looked just like they had seen it in their world.
It started to raise its hand, and at the same time all of the families in the area started to light
up. Soon
glowing balls of light started escaping their bodies. He now had enough energy to show
some of his
power and all of the balls of energy were heading his way.
They entered him one by one, energizing him.
‘So that’s why he is in that sorry state.’ The cat commented. ‘It takes a lot of energy to force
open a rift
between our two worlds and right now he’s gathering energy to send you guys back. I
wonder why he’s
trying so much for all of you? Oh well, it’s better for me in the end since he hasn’t asked to
borrow my
power.’ Although Leo couldn’t see it, he could hear how smug and satisfied it sounded.
With one of its long dangling fingers the Boneclaw held out, it pointed towards Fex who was
in the
crowd.
At this moment, not knowing what was going on, Fex started to sweat nervously.
“Have I just been selected for some sacrifice ritual or something?” Fex asked looking at the
others for
help and eventually stared at Nate thinking he would be a better choice.
“Hey what the hell?! Don’t throw me under the bus!” Nate could practically read Fex’
thoughts… after
all, he would have done the same.
“He will not harm us.” Leo assured them. “He is trying to send us all back.”
Eventually Silver was the one who gave Fex a nudge, and was following straight behind him.
The others soon moved forward and with their support he felt less nervous. Not knowing
everything and
at the same time learning so much that was new to him as experiences he didn’t want to
forget.
When Fex arrived in front of the Boneclaw he knelt down unconsciously. He didn’t know
why he did it, it
just felt right to him to kneel in front of the creature.
It then touched the earring on his ear. After it dangled in place for a few seconds, it lit up
and Ham
appeared in front of them.
“Please don’t take all my energy away!” Ham pleaded immediately, begging and kneeling on
the floor. “I
only have a little bit of energy and if it’s taken away this little bull will die!”
“Huh? Oh you just want me to speak to them for you? Haha, that’s great thenm sure I can do
that!” Ham
said as he stood up and his mood had changed in an instant.
There were a few nods here and there from Ham and he turned around to speak to the
others.
“His Majesty says, ‘I have fulfilled my promise by protecting you all, but I will not be able to
do it again. I
will be sending you all back but I must remain here to gather more energy before I can
return.'”
“Creating a portal here I can send you back to the same world, but it won’t be to the exact
same spot
that we left. I can only promise you that you will end up on the same planet.”
“Don’t make all my efforts be wasted in vain, live!”
It didn’t look like there was much time to decide anything as the Boneclaw drew a circle in
the air, which
appeared on the ground surrounding them.
It was time for all of them to head back.
My Vampire System Chapter 908: The second half of the tale
Although the tale Leo and Silver had told so far was amazing and beyond what they could
have ever
imagined, it didn’t explain what Silver meant by her words, saying that Bryce wouldn’t attack
and how
something bigger was on the horizon.
Little did they know that this was because it was only the first half of their story and there
was still a lot
to go from when they had returned.
It was explained further by Ham that when they had moved to the Familiar World they had
also moved
from the position they had entered as well. Although the Boneclaw could have gone back,
and opted a
portal up there time wasn’t on their side.
If two more energy balls were to escape from their bodies, then it would possibly be life
threatening. As
such they had no choice but to go through the portal that had been created and hope for the
best. The
Vampire World was not exactly the smallest, so they could only rely on luck to end up
somewhere near
the Vampire settlement.
Going through the portal only took a few seconds, and when they arrived it was as expected.
They were
in the forest but there was nothing resembling where they had come from, and nothing to
tell where
they had ended up.
“I feel different. Oh, his Majesty, the Boneclaw king is no longer with me!” Ham shouted as
he flapped
his wings, happy to be free. The rest couldn’t share his enthusiasm.
“But didn’t that Boneclaw protect us?” Fex pointed out the reason for their disgruntlement.
“If we run
into that vampire again from last time, it will be really difficult for us. We can’t escape.”
“I don’t think the Boneclaw would have been able to help us a second time in any case.” Leo
stated. “It
must have used up a lot of energy creating those two portals, otherwise it would have
returned with
us.”
“So is that the last time we will see that thing?” Nate asked.
Truthfully, Leo didn’t know, but he had a feeling it would be the last time. There had to be a
reason why
such a powerful being wanted to stay in the Human World, and it hadn’t really appeared to
be the type
to help them out of the kindness of its soul.
‘Finally! How long has it been since I have been here?’ The cat purred inside of Leo’s mind.
‘It’s so rare
to find someone with your quality of Qi, no wonder that Bonehead had stayed here for so
long. I’d love
to taste some, but I will leave it alone for now. I don’t want you dying in the middle of
nowhere, since
you might need your strength.’
Silver, who had been carrying the large casket on her back the whole time, placed it on the
ground, and
opened it up. She was worried that their little captive might have been damaged when they
had gone to
the other world, but she was wriggling about tied up showing full well she still had strength.
Still, the others could tell that the energy inside her had also been s.u.c.k.e.d away. All of
them were
currently weaker and not at full fighting strength,
Using what they could, Ham flew up high in the sky and tried to tell the others what he
could see. Silver
had done some exploration in the past, so if they spotted some sort of landmark maybe they
could find
their way out.
“Mountains, smaller mountains, scary looking mountains.” Ham kept naming them all as he
saw them.
“Anything else, Ham?!” Fex shouted from below.
“Did I already mention the mountains? Hang on, there is something there..” Ham corrected
himself as
he noticed something else a little behind a mountain. Flying back down, Ham delivered the
news.
He first described the different types of mountains but nothing seemed to give Silver any
idea of their
current location, except for the next thing the flying bull described.
“It looked like a giant dome created from the ground, but the centre of it was all cracked. It
didn’t look
natural, that’s all I’m saying.” Ham reported.
The group needed to make a decision, head towards the stage man built object, or split up in
different
directions to return to the centre once they had found something.
“Split up? Did none of you guys ever watch any movies?” Nate complained. “If we split up,
they’ll get
killed off one by one and knowing my luck I’ll end up being the first one!”
Hearing Nate speak out about it, while they didn’t think it would be as drastic as he had
described, they
decided against splitting up and with no better idea they headed towards the dome.
While on the way, Nate would constantly try and get in contact back at the base, but now it
seemed like
everyone in their base was currently busy all at the same time. It just made them feel tense
about the
situation, and rush forward.
Leo placed his hand out against the top part of the dome, and made a sign for the whole
group to stop.
“I can sense vampires.”
“All the way out here, in the middle of nowhere? But it makes no sense we aren’t even close
to the
waterfall?” Silver wondered.
“But that original vampire guy didn’t come from the waterfall!” Fex argued. “He had to have
come from
somewhere else, right? What if this is where they’re hiding right now?”
Leo was quite confident that it wasn’t the case, at least that the man they had met before
wasn’t here.
Somehow he had known where they were, and Leo wondered if it had anything to do with
their
prisoner.
“Make sure, she doesn’t hear or see anything.” Leo warned, and soon the Vampire’s knight’s
ears were
plugged up with cotton balls made of string as well.
With Leo’s ability, he should be able to sense anyone else before they sensed them. The
group decided
to continue forwards with Silver being the most keen.
Hearing what Fex had said, just made her want to find out if it was true or not. She wanted
to bring back
as much information as possible as they could.
Using Leo’s ability, they took a path that would Delbert avoid the vampires that seen.
However,
foolowing them as they got closer to the dome they needed to follow them from behind.
Finally, they could see the crater in front of them, but were unable to see what was inside
from the top.
They could see two female vampires, holding a male vampire walking towards the dome.
“Hey, is it just me or does it look like they’re treating that man like a prisoner?” Nate asked.
It was true, they could see that both the females were practically dragging the male vampire
by his
arms, as if he had been passed out and his legs dragging on the floor.
“What is this place? They’re wearing the castle uniform, so they must be from the settlement,
but were
nowhere near the settlement.” Silver said.
When they entered the dome, the door they had gone through closed behind them, and the
way Silver
was shuffling her feet it was clear she wanted to follow them inside.
“After what we encountered last time, we need to be more careful. Especially with the state
we’re in.”
Leo cautioned, closing his eyes as he spread his ability one more time, to get an idea of what
was inside
the strange place.
Straight away, Leo could sense multiple auras, many of them similar but at the same time a
lot of them
different, and it wasn’t just a few, there were more auras then that at the Bloodsucker base in
the
waterfall.
However, something was strange about them, some felt weak and weren’t moving about
much.
“What did you see?” Silver asked.
Leo explained what he could see, and the others couldn’t really figure it out much either.
“So, there isn’t anyone strong that we can’t take on in there?” Nate asked.
Leo nodded, but it looked like he had one more thing on his mind he wanted to say.
“About one of the auras I felt, it was exactly the same as one of the auras at the tenth castle.
Someone
inside has the same aura as Alex.”
My Vampire System Chapter 909: Another blood fairy
A blood fairy was an illegal subclass. If one was created, it was the leader’s responsibility to
get rid of it
on site. If that didn’t happen, then the vampires could only assume you were not only going
against their
wishes, but was plotting something against the vampire settlement.
These subclasses were explained to have a high potential to either be used against them or
ruin the
current lives the vampires had built up for themselves at the moment.
“Same as Alex, who’s Alex?” Silver asked, confused.
Of course, Nate and Leo knew what they were talking about, but Silver didn’t. Alex’s
existence was
unknown to her, and she wasn’t part of the tenth family. Even if she was Fex’s sister, if she
found out,
there was always the risk she would tell her father or someone else and get them in trouble.
In all honesty, not Even Leo really knew who Alex was that well either. Only that he was a
special
subclass vampire that had created his weapon. After seeing the way the vampire from earlier
reacted,
he was starting to understand why Quinn had asked him to keep it a secret.
“There are quite a few subclass vampires inside.” Leo continued, ignoring Silver’s question.
“If we take
what we saw earlier, assuming they are taking prisoners inside, I don’t think the best of
things is
happening inside. A facility disguised behind a mountain, out in the middle of nowhere
away from the
vampire settlement?”
“It certainly feels like they are hiding something.” Said Fex.
It was clear that quite a few of them wanted to know what was inside, but they would need
to be
careful if they were to investigate. Suppose it was true that the eighth family was involved. In
that case,
it means as soon as they saw them coming, they would be able to send a message to the
others almost
immediately. With the state they were in now if someone like the last person they had met
was called,
they probably wouldn’t survive.
So instead, they decided to rest for the night. Their bodies needed to recover what was taken
from
them. Yes, they would try to avoid being seen, but it would most likely mean another
showdown if they
were seen.
They took it in turns resting as they kept an eye on the dome. It was too large to see all the
sides of the
dome, so they just looked at where the other three vampires had entered from. Eventually,
while it was
Silver’s watch, she could see the two girls who had entered leaving but without the man.
‘Heading back to the vampire settlement?’
Placing the large box on her back down, she decided to follow them from quite the distance.
She inched
closer and closer as a test, and eventually, she realised that the two of them weren’t at the
level of a
vampire knight. If they were, Leo would have sensed it, and they would have discovered her
by now.
She followed them in their general direction for a while through the forest until eventually,
she could
see it. She recognised one of the mountains that could be seen from the castles if one was to
lookout.
The two girls were definitely heading back to the settlement.
She tried to inch closer to them. If they were vampires from the settlement, then they would
have an
emblem on their clothing stating what family they were from. Silver mainly was travelling up
high
through the trees, but having taken one step too close, the two girls turned around.
“Did you hear something?” They asked.
“There are beasts on this planet, so hearing something isn’t that uncommon.” The other
replied, and the
two continued on the journey.
Coming out from behind one of the tree trunks, Silver realised that she couldn’t get any
closer without a
confrontation.
‘If they were able to sense me from that far, then they would have had to at least be at the
noble level.
So the leader involved is willing to work with their inner castle vampires. This whole thing
smells rotten.’
Returning quickly, Silver was worried that she had left her post when she was meant to make
sure the
others were okay while they were sleeping. Upon returning though, she noticed that Leo was
already
awake and was leaning up against a tree.
“Did you find out what you needed to?” He asked.
“Yeah, I did, I found our way back, but we need to check out that facility first. Those two
girls seemed
scared.” Silver said as she looked towards the two boys who were fast asleep, as if there wasn’t
a care in
the world. “Thanks for looking after them. Feel free to go sleep; you couldn’t have gotten
much.”
“I didn’t sleep much before as a human, and it’s even worse now as a vampire. Besides, we
have more
lookouts compared to before.” Leo pointed to the top of his head, directly at the circle ring.
It was actually the cat that had informed Leo that Silver had gone off somewhere.
After the two boys had woken up, they didn’t see anyone else enter or leave, so it was time for
the two
of them to enter.
Walking up, they noticed that security was very minimal, almost as if there was none at all.
‘I guess if they are vampires from one of the thirteen families, they can’t just leave when they
want like
the Bloodsuckers.’ Silver thought.
Leo noticed something as well. He still found it strange that those that he could sense hadn’t
moved. It
was as if they were locked up. There was no door to enter the dome, just part of the wall had
been
almost cracked to look like a cave entrance.
Leo suggested it was safe for them to all walkthrough, and so they did. They entered the
cave-like tunnel
and could hear the sound of screaming and groaning echoing through the tunnel’s walls.
“Hey, should we really be walking towards those noises?” Fex asked.
Eventually, they had reached the end of the tunnel, but it wasn’t the end of the groaning.
Leo could
sense that in a large circle shape as large as the dome itself, different types of energy spread
out around
and leading upwards.
Ham was the first to be sent ahead. If they spotted him, most would think it was just a weak
beast. After
leaving the tunnel and looking around, he returned.
“I would say it’s pretty safe for you guys to go ahead, but be prepared for what you’re about to
see.”
Said, Ham.
They trusted Ham, a little, but it wasn’t until Leo said he said it would be okay as well that
the group
continued to move forward. When they had exited from the tunnel, Leo and the others
could finally
understand what he was seeing.
This facility was one giant prison. The centre of the dome was flat ground that looked to be
mostly
destroyed, and it made the whole place look almost like an arena, but instead of an arena
full of crowds,
it was one full of prisoners.
Spread across the edge of the dome were prison cells, each with one person locked behind
them.
“What do they want to do with all these people?” Fex asked.
“That’s what we are here to find out.” Silver replied. As she started to walk around the edge
past each of
the prison cells. They saw nearly every type of human subclass possible. The groans and
screams were
coming from them, but as they tried to speak or reach out, their minds seemed wholly
broken down.
They were unresponsive to the group’s calls or presence.
“A blood fairy!” Silver said in shock. “They have a blood fairy!”
Nate looked at it. Its appearance was similar to Alex, but it was a sad sight to see. It looked
like its wings
had been pinned down to the floor, only allowing one to move its body. And the blood fairy
eyes looked
dead.
“What family is behind all of this? Why are they keeping so many different subclasses here!”
Silver said,
speaking out loud.
Eventually, they had stumbled across a man that seemed saner, as he responded to them,
running up to
the bars and grabbing them.
“I’m sorry for whatever I’ve done, but please let me out!” He cried.
This one was a regular vampire and was the only regular vampire they had seen so far.
Judging by the
fact that he wasn’t as worn down like the others, they guessed that he was the one that had
been
brought in not too long ago.
“I’m sorry, but please, I don’t remember anything!” The man screamed.
These words from the man, meant far more than they realised.
“What do you mean, you can’t remember anything?” Fex asked while gulping.
The man touched his head.
“My memories, who I am, where I am or what this place is, they are all gone!”
My Vampire System Chapter 910: Where are all the….
MVS 910
The group asked the man as many questions as they could, but as expected, it was a lost
cause. He
couldn’t remember anything, so he had no way of answering their inquiries. Still, his
particular situation
reminded them a lot of how Kazz and Fex were when they first had found them.
However, the strangest thing was how the man was even unable to remember how he had
ended up in
his cell. Even after telling him two girls had brought him here, it didn’t jog anything in his
brain. Silver
was hoping that he could at least describe what he had seen on their uniform, but it was all
hopeless.
“Wait, where are you going? Are you not going to set me free?!” He shouted as the group
continued on
their way.
“If we did that, then the others would know that we were here. Have you lost your common
sense as
well as your memories?” Silver questioned him harshly.
“But you can’t just do this! After seeing all this, if you leave, you are just as bad as them!” The
man
continued to shout, pulling at the bars. He was desperate, but the main reason why he felt
like this was
because of how all the others around him were acting. He knew he would end up the same if
nothing
was done.
“When those guys return, I’ll tell them that I saw you anyway, so you might as well let me
out!”
Still, the group continued to ignore him and continued on their way.
“Hey, what if he really tells them about us? Won’t that be trouble for us?” Nate asked.
“Don’t worry, on the way back, we can deal with him, and as Leo said, there doesn’t seem to
be anyone
to guard this place. They should be rather confident in their cells and hiding place.” Silver
replied.
Fex looked a little down after talking with the man. After all, he could relate to not having
any memories
and nobody explaining what was going on. Luckily, he had been important enough for
people to come to
his rescue. As for the man and everyone else in this facility, even if they had someone
looking for them,
how likely was it that those possessed the necessary strength?.
“I know what you’re thinking, but we can’t help them.” Leo said. “At least not yet. Think
about what
would happen if we did. A lot of these subclasses would probably just get killed if they were
to appear in
the Vampire settlement. After we find out what is going on and that it won’t put our or
peoples’ lives in
danger, then we can act.”
Leo knew full well what acting before knowing all the small details could result in. He had
once lost
everyone he had cared about because of it.
After going past every single one of the cells, they had come across a couple more subclasses
that
seemed a bit saner then the others they had met. They could be communicated with but
were close to a
breaking point.
Just like the first, the others also had their memories removed. However , one of them
seemed to have
seen something, when asked if there was anything there. The subclasses pointed at the flat
cordon in
the centre of the area that looked to be just empty ground.
“Hey, I think that man is trying to tell us something.” Nate noted, running over to the flat
ground, he
looked at the centre, and then walked over towards the edges.
“Hey, I’m right. You see how the rubble of the ground is spread off towards the sides? Yet, for
some
reason there’s none in the centre at all, which can only mean one thing.”
A clang sound could be heard after Nate had finished his explanation since Leo had used his
sword
against the ground.
“It appears we have a trap door, and quite the hidden one” Leo concluded.
The next course of action was to try and find a way in. This facility just kept surprising them
more and
more and they didn’t feel like leaving before unearthing all the secrets they could find.
Eventually they found that on the second floor, there was an operation room. It was empty
just like the
rest, and even the inside of it looked to have been made with metals that were a little rusted.
‘Does this mean that this facility has been here for a long time?’ Silver wondered. ‘Doing all
this right
under our noses.’
Depending on the material, sometimes Leo’s senses wouldn’t allow him to see through them,
and this
turned out to be one of them, making him just as curious as his companions about what was
underneath. The controls were simple enough, even for Nate to use them as he pulled a
leaver, and the
mechanics behind the door started to move.
As they had learnt, the arena floor was a large trap door. From the centre it started to slowly
pull away
in two halfs and what little burble there was would fall down the centre while the rest moved
to the
sides.
“Looks like the blockhead isn’t so useless after all.” Silver commented, and they all looked
over to Nate,
who grumbled under his breath that they were underestimating him.
Once fully opened, they could see a large swirling staircase going around the edge, and the
team
decided to carry on moving forward. Once they had awed around to the stairs, looking down
they could
just see the bottom.
The whole thing was made of a strange metallic material. It made the whole area feel cold
and blue.
Before they started walking down the stairs they were looking towards Leo for new answers.
“I think you will all be surprised as me, but the area down there is almost an identical replica
of what is
up there.” Leo explained. “There is a major difference between the two though. All of these
above
ground are vampires, or vampire subclasses.”
Here, Leo could feel it. “Nearly every single thing alive in this underground facility on the
other hand is a
Bloodsucker.”
It confused them, but they did get the okay from Leo to move forward. Walking down the
spiral
staircase together, they were able to see for themselves. The Bloodsucker looked more
hungry than
ever, never taking its eyes of them.
Walking down more, they saw the same thing repeating again and again. Unfortunately, it
looked like
they had all lost their minds. Even if one tried to ask them a question they were unable to
answer it just
like those above.
There was no one they could speak to here below. Silver soon realised that the sheer number
of
Bloodsuckers behind bars was far more than should be possible. They had already passed
around two
hundred cells and it looked like there were around two hundred more to go.
“What are they planning to do with all of these?” Silver asked.
But no one knew the answer, apart from the person who had brought them here. This was
when Nate
also noticed something strange, something that had bugged him as he walked around the
whole place.
“Where are all the women?” Nate blurted out.
“You teenager, do you really need to think about things like that, at a time like this!?” Silver
glared at
him.
“No, that’s not what I was thinking about. I just pointed out that we have only seen men in
these cages
so far. Don’t you find it at least a little bit weird given the number? I could understand if it
would have
been a dozen or so, but there are hundreds down here, yet every single one is male.” Nate
explained.
“Is that really true?” Fex wondered as he tried to remember what they had seen so far. He
had been
more interested in their subclass than their gender.
“Of course, trust me I would have kept a note or something if there were some girls around.”
Nate
replied, blushing when all three gave him strange looks.
Silver, who had quite a good memory, started to think back. She was unsure if it was a big
deal, but it
certainly did seem a little strange. It wasn’t as if only men could turn into Bloodsucker, and
the same
was true for the subclasses.
“Putting aside that it does seem strange, does this information help us in any way?” Silver
asked.
“I don’t know yet, it just reminded me of a place where the opposite was true. Back when I
went to visit
the second family for Cia to get her memories back. I was surrounded by girls and had been
wondering
where the men were. It was just a thought, but now it makes me think, could it be they were
brought
here? Turned into these monsters?”
My Vampire 911
My Vampire System Chapter 911: The day before
Based on what Nate was saying, it sounded like he thought all the men that should have
been in the
second leader’s area had been placed in this facility, locked up. It was a crazy theory that if
Silver had
heard before, she would have just dismissed it.
Right now, with the circ.u.mstances the way they were, she was willing to accept this theory.
A leader was allowed to elect who they wanted in their inner castle area. If they wished all of
them to be
women, then that was the leaders choice. It did not matter how obscure the request was.
However,
what was more concerning than Nate’s theory was the Second leader themselves, Cindy.
Nate’s suspicion had become her suspicion due to her ability. All of these vampires having
their
memories lost, it wasn’t too strange as a powerful vampire leader should be able to do such a
thing with
their influence skill.
Other than using the influence skill to remove one’s memories, there was another way other
than using
the influence skill to remove one’s memories, and that was with the Second leader’s ability.
Although
according to Cindy herself, this was impossible. She was only able to reverse time so far back,
it was
different for body parts as well, or so she claimed. This would mean with her ability, it would
be
impossible to remove every single memory about themselves.
The power of the ability varied from leader to leader. Some were better with it, some were
weaker, but
leaders hardly ever got into scuffles to test such things. Leaving the other leaders to rely on
only their
word about their powers.
Every leader knew the other ones were hiding their true strength.
If Cindy claimed she couldn’t do such a thing, then the others would just have to believe it as
there was
no evidence. There was no way for them to force the other.
“I think it might be time for us to head back,” Leo suggested. “There is nothing left to
explore here, and
based on what we have found, it looks like some type of BloodSucker and Subclass breeding
ground.
Hiding this away, they must have bad intentions.”
What was more concerning for Leo though, was the connection in his body going wild. He
could tell
something was happening to the Tenth castle at this moment, and they needed to return;
they needed
his help.
“Wait, shouldn’t we get rid of these guys? Right now, they’re trapped behind a cell. We can
kill them so
they can’t be used to attack us. I know they will find out about this place was discovered, but
they won’t
know who discovered it.” Said Nate.
It wasn’t a bad suggestion, but Leo was against it.
“Even with our strength and numbers, killing four hundred of these guys won’t be easy. Can’t
you see?
The bars have been made of the same material that they create the castles out of. Making an
attack
through these bars would be difficult, making the task take even longer.”
“I also think knowing about this place can be used to our advantage.” Silver agreed, “We
stumbled upon
this place by accident. The enemy probably thought we would never find such a thing, but
knowing
about it can make it clearer for us to know their goal. Finally, we can be one step ahead of
them rather
than always one step behind.”
There was another person that didn’t want to kill them, and that was Fex. These people had
been
turned against their will. As he looked into one of their white eyes that did nothing but
stared right back
at him, Fex didn’t feel scared. Instead, he felt sorry for them.
‘I wonder if there was a way they could be turned back.
Before leaving the place, Silver did one more thing to those vampires that were saner than
the others.
Just in case, she used her influence powers on them to remove any memories they had of
them in this
place.
Usually, she wouldn’t do such a thing, but they had already lost their memories, and the one
she was
removing wasn’t one that was particularly meaningful or long.
Doing such a thing, as long as she was able to, should have been an easy task.
“We must move as quickly as we can!” Silver shouted.
______
“And that’s what we discovered while being away. It was what held us up for so long.” Silver
said, having
finished explaining what herself, Leo, and the others had gone through.
“All of this was reported to Bryce?” Sam asked. “Which means he knows about the
bloodsucker and the
other blood fairy which would have been used to kill Dwight?”
This was the proof they had all been looking for. The only bad thing was, that Leo and Silver
didn’t know
Quinn had been framed using the blood fairy.
“It seems all the signs are pointing to Jill and Cindy having worked together.” Said Paul. “Yet
somehow
she had convinced the other leaders that she was the better one compared to the other
leaders.”
Layla, upon hearing Cindy’s name, clenched her fist tightly. She couldn’t believe for a second
she had
trusted her and thought she was a good leader. She knew how the other leaders must have
felt but she
had also seen her dark side when Cia had been killed.
“What I’m worried about, is after learning all of this, Bryce has decided to continue with the
execution,”
Sam said. “Why not delay it until he finds the other blood fairy so it can be used as proof?
Do you really
think he won’t kill Quinn just because he thinks it isn’t Quinn?”
“No,” Paul answered. “If we know Bryce, which I’m not sure we do, he will use this
opportunity to kill
two birds with one stone. He’ll get rid of Quinn first, and then get rid of Cindy second, but if
Bryce
doesn’t act soon, then the army of Bloodsuckers could be used again.”
“So we are back to where we started,” Layla complained. “The story was nice and all, but it
still doesn’t
guarantee that Quinn will be kept alive. It just means we have ways to prove Quinn’s
innocence and
know who the real enemy is. Ryanorrow we have to act.”
——
Down in the king’s castle, unaware to everyone something was going on. Quinn was cooking
up his own
plan. He never did want to rely on others.
His arms had grown slightly in size, his hair had partially fallen out, and his fangs had
winded. His arms
were shaking, and the cuffs connected to the walls were starting to rattle.
“Quinn! Quinn, are you still there!” Alex shouted. “Come on, you’re not going to turn and eat
me, are
you?!” Alex screamed.
There was a manic wildness in Quinn’s eyes, but hearing Alex’s words, they had disappeared.
His
transformation was still the same though, with his bulging muscles still on display. When
cancelling his
transformation, his hair started to grow back slowly, and his muscles shrunk smaller.
“That was good, we were almost there, but I would have lost it without you. Let’s go again!”
Quinn
shouted.
Ever since Alex had joined him, every day, Quinn had been trying to learn how to become a
Bloodsucker
to utilise its extreme strength without losing his sanity.
Luckily, Alex was a great help as words from the outside while he was in the middle of losing
his place,
helped get him back on track and he was making progress faster than ever. Quinn could
turn but would
begin to pass out, hearing Alex’s encouragement would kick him out of that stage, but his
body was still
that of a Bloodsucker.
However, he felt it was risky having to rely on Alex every time he wanted to transform safely.
They did
the test again, and this time, there were no words spoken by Alex.
“So let’s see what you do now,” Quinn said with a smile. “Now, all I need to do is wait, and
there will be
a big surprise for you.”
My Vampire System Chapter 912: Where are the tenth family?
To those in the vampire settlement, it didn’t seem like a long time ago that they were all
talking about
the same thing. As members from each family were gathering at the plaza to witness yet
another
execution. The difference was, this wasn’t just any execution, but it was one to do with one of
the
leaders, something the young vampires had never witnessed in their lives before.
“Did you see the royal guards, they have gathered around the tenth castle.”
“Yes, I did, I guess they’re making sure the execution goes well and don’t want anything to
happen, but
why is the tenth leader being executed, do they suspect he has something to do with the
Royal Knights
death?”
“I can only assume that is to be the case, but it’s not only those from the tenth castle, they
aren’t
allowing any vampires that belong to the tenth at all to attend.”
The talk in the vampire settlement was true. The royal guards were stationed around those
that lived in
the tenth area, while those that belonged to the tenth family in name were told not to attend.
There
were no complications to happen this time as everything was planned to go smoothly.
——
Underground under the king’s castle, Quinn and Alex were silently waiting. They had used
up all the
conversations they had within them.They had been together for several days now and with
only the two
of them together 24/7 they had learnt a lot about each other.
Quinn had explained his background, his life at school and how he was treated so badly and
how he saw
others being treated the same or worse. While Alex’s background was a little different to
what he had
expected.
Before the war, apparently Alex’s family used to be quite wealthy, owning many real estate
properties in
the big cities, however, after the war most of their properties were destroyed, and the
government had
done nothing to subsidise them.
They wished to build up their name and wealth again, but found it difficult after the
introduction of
abilities. Where power was more important than anything and it was something they didn’t
have.
‘I guess a lot of people lost different things due to the war.’ Quinn thought.
The reason Alex was interested in Quinn’s offer initially was because he wanted to raise his
own forging
empire and bring his family name back up to what it used to be. He knew working for
someone else
wouldn’t be possible. Even though it didn’t quite work out how he originally planned, he was
pleased.
‘Working hard for your family huh?’ Quinn thought, as he tried to think back to his own
parents, but he
knew very little about them, not enough to even feel sad that they were gone, but only to feel
down
that others had a family when he didn’t.
‘You still think like that?’ Vincent said. ‘Even your system is a constant reminder that it isn’t
true.’
Looking at his system, Quinn understood what Vincent was trying to get at.
‘You’re so cheesy man, but you’re right! Maybe when this whole war is over I can start
thinking about
raising my own family as well.’
Quinn thought it sounded a bit weird for someone his age to start thinking about a family,
but he
realised it was due to his life that he had lived while being Vincent. The one thing that
Vincent felt
fulfilled by, was seeing his kids grow up, and because he had children he was at peace when
leaving this
world, thinking that he was at least passing something on, and it was the whole reason
Quinn was here
today as well.
‘A family huh, you know that to do that, you need a partner, do you at least have someone on
your
mind?’ Vinent asked.
Thinking about this question, Quinn’s cheeks started to turn slightly red and his body
temperature was
rising as he thought of the possibilities.
“Hey are you okay?” Alex asked. “It’s just gone a little quiet, I guess it has been for a while.”
Quinn thought for a second Alex could see what he looked like, but it was impossible from
the way the
two of them were chained up. It was just Alex speaking out of awkwardness with the silent
room.
Now with the two having shared their stories together, all they could do was sit there and
wait, they
knew nothing about the planned execution nor what was happening above, but at least
Quinn was
pleased that it didn’t look like the tenth were getting attacked anymore.
‘As soon as they open those doors, depending on what will happen or what they will say.
Depends on
how I will act as well.’
Quinn wasn’t a hundred percent with his ability to transform into the bloodsucker, while
still staying
sane. If something went wrong while trapped in the room he could end up attacking Alex
which was
something he didn’t want to do, and he wasn’t sure if he would have the strength to break
down the
door holding them inside either.
So he had decided as soon as he was taken out from those doors, that’s when he would
transform. That
was when he would do what needed to be done.
However, there was a major problem with being a bloodsucker. His health would be
incredibly low and
he was unable to use blood skills including the blood bank. Essentially, one hit from one of
the leaders or
someone powerful and he could be a goner. A double edged sword.
The door shut behind him, and now the only ones in the room were Bryce, Alex and Quinn.
“Are you ready boy, it’s time for you to head out to your execution.” Bryce said with a smile.
——
The stage was set and the vampires were having a weird sense of deja vu as they looked upon
the
execution platform. It wasn’t too long ago that Fex, a direct descendant, was the one to be
executed.
Now once again, the council leaders had gathered and were left standing on the ground of
the execution
platform looking outwards.
Some of the leader positions had yet to be filled, as the execution was deemed more
important by
Bryce, and Quinn’s matter was to be dealt with first. So the vampire knights of their
respective families
stood in their place instead for the time being.
Finally, the King had arrived, with his two Royal Knights, following behind them, covered in
a chain on
their feet and hands were both Alex and Quinn. There were two short tables set for them,
with a curve
in it where they could nicely rest their heads, and on the stage itself, a clean, fresh sword
that had yet to
be used.
The executioner that had been selected was Muka. Who would use the blade to sweep both
of their
heads in one clean motion.
While being brought up to the platform, Alex kept looking at Quinn. He knew what Quinn
had been
practising underground and was wondering why he hadn’t transformed yet.
‘Weren’t you going to escape before it got to this point, or is it because the King was the one
that came
to collect us?’ Alex thought.
“Is this why the tenth is getting executed, due to him having held a blood fairy?”
“Now it makes sense why they went to storm the castle!”
The vampires were soon filling in the gaps of what had happened, whether it was true or not,
it was the
only thing they could guess, and it didn’t help that there were already rumors spread around
about this
very thing.
When Quinn was brought out to his own table, the vampires started to look around, same
with the
leaders.
Cindy, who stood in the middle of all the leaders, seemed quite pleased. She always had a
smile on her
face but this one was a little larger than usual.
‘It looks like not a single one from the tenth family is here.’ She thought.
However, she was wrong, very wrong. A few miles back on top of one of the regular
households, Logan
was in position. He had picked the highest regular house and with everyone away there was
no security
at all in the pooling area for the vampires.
On the roof of the building, he had built a strange contraption that almost looked like a
sniper rifle. He
had it propped up and was lying on his belly staring down the scope.
What he was looking at were two regular ordinary looking vampires. One which had curly
brown hair,
and the other next to him slightly taller with black hair.
My Vampire System Chapter 913: Getting an upgrade
A few days before an order from the King was received. It was to prevent anyone from
leaving the tenth
castle. By this time, Logan and Peter had left the vampire settlement already. Little did they
know that
their little trip to improve little Borden would turn out to be a blessing in disguise for more
than one
reason.
Leaving the settlement without anyone finding out was quite easy given Peter’s ability to
disguise
himself and Logan as whoever they wished. Nobody raised a fuss when they went out of the
settlement’s gates as the guards were far more interested in those who tried to enter.
Once they were out of sight, Borden climbed out of Peter’s large pocket and hopped onto his
shoulder.
“Finally, I can breathe right!” He said while stretching his arms. He was looking forward to
their
destination.
Logan wanted them to go back to the lab where the supposed Dalki had been created,
especially after
learning that his parents had been kept captive there in the past. He felt like there should be
a
connection there and perhaps even a few things he had missed during the last time they
were there.
As for why Peter was chosen to come along… he was the muscle of the group if needed. If
they ran into
any vampires, they could pretend to be some no-name villagers, but if that didn’t work, then
Logan was
pretty confident that there weren’t many that could take down both Borden and Peter at the
same
time, even if they ran into one of the leaders.
“I see you have taken a liking to Paul’s gloves.” Logan commented as they continued to walk
through the
forest.
“They are light, but there is still something missing to them. It just doesn’t feel like me.”
Peter
commented. “Do you remember a long time ago you let me try out the game? There was a
weapon that
I took a liking to, but I don’t remember what they were called. Those things that looked like
batons, only
you held them?”
“Oh, you’re talking about the Tonfas. Hmmm, yeah they would suit someone like you. They
would
provide you with some extra range, and you could still use your fists to hurt your enemies..”
Logan
replied.
“Still, these are great because of how sharp they are, and I would want something a bit more
secretive.”
Peter said, in a slightly excited mood. “Do you think something like that is possible?”
Logan considered Peter’s request and he quickly came up with a design. Once they were
back he would
create a blueprint for a large blade that ran up each of his forearms, and when he wanted to
activate it,
it would appear out from underneath.
What made him think of this, was the active skill that Quinn would use with his weapon.
This always
gave him the extra range when needed once in a while.
“Alex has been taken, but there might be something I can come up with for you in the
meantime. If
everything is still at the base we’re heading to, then I should be able to make you one before
we leave.”
Logan promised.
He had brought a few items with him, mainly crystals of different levels for what he was
going to do with
Borden, but also some miscellaneous things that might prove useful. The base should also
have plenty of
equipment left over that would allow him to create a new beast gear weapon for Peter.
Eventually, they reached the base, only this time without running into any trouble on the
way. They
entered the mountain, and started to walk through the tunnels. Logan’s memory was great
and he
remembered the way from last time they had come here.
[Welcome Mr Green]
Entering the facility, it looked the same as before. It hadn’t been touched, and there were
many empty
large glass containers big enough to fit a human in, filled with nothing inside, but had large
tubes leading
off to different locations. When they reached a crossing there were several doors leading to
different
places, and there was one room which Leo told them to not enter.
For that was the room with the demon tier beast. Apparently it still had great power, more
power than
the Demon tier beast they had met before and it was possible that he would go mad if he
stayed there
long enough.
Heading straight forward, Logan entered a room where a large digital display nearly the
width of the
room was in front of him. Terminals with all sorts of stored information were in the corner
of every
room.
‘This is the room where mum and dad had been kept for years and eventually made the
Dalki.’
“It feels weird being here.” Borden couldn’t help but say. He recognised part of the entrance
where they
had come in from, but not the rest of it. He didn’t have bad memories of the place, but it was
weird
visiting the area where he had first opened his eyes.
Straight away, Logan went off to work, touching the several terminals and gathering what
information
he could. Before he had been skimming through information trying to find out what this
place used to
be, but now he had more of an idea.
There were several failed projects that had been created before the success that became the
Dalki and
he wanted to gather information on them.
His main concern was to discover why Borden was labeled to be an even bigger failure than
the Dalki
that had been created. After several hours of gathering information Logan had come up
with a theory.
From what he could gather, the energy output from the Demon tier beast was no longer
what it was
before. It appeared that the number of Dalki that could be created from at least that
particular Demon
tier had hit its limit, and if there were any more that were created they would come out with
problems,
just like Borden.
‘Was the vampire the one that set up the link between the lab in the tenth castle and this
one? It seems
like it had been kept a secret from the vampires and he was working from the tenth castle,
he must have
also been working here. Is that how I accidently created a Dalki version of Vorden?’ Logan
thought.
If this was the case, then there was a solution to the problem, find a Demon tier crystal and
somehow
infuse that power into Borden. It would have to be one that matched with the original one
that created
the Dalki.
However, that seemed impossible, he could use any old Demon tier crystal, but that might
only have a
temporary effect, although temporary was fine for now.
If he didn’t have Demon tier crystals, then he would just have to use the next best thing he
had on him
which was king tier crystals.
“Is there anything that I need to do?” Borden asked.
“I just need some samples of your blood, but other than that you will be fine.” Logan replied,
as he got
to work.
Just like before, Logan was hoping to create a few green serums the same as the ones
received at the
lab, but it would have to have Vorden’s DNA imprinted inside it. Luckily he still had
information from the
last sample he had created, and Borden also shared the same DNA.
Then, using the King tier crystals, he would create a better serum that could be injected into
his body to
give him more time. How much time, and if it would restore his body to normal, he didn’t
know.
There was some gold coloured liquid in there, and he took samples of this as well. It turned
out that the
gold liquid contained traces of energy from the Demon tier beast.
There were a few times where Logan was tempted to go look at the Demon beast himself, as
he thought
studying it further might give him more results or answers, however some information he
had found out
during his research had warned him against it.
It was a journal from his parents during the time they had worked on such a thing.
Apparently there
were a few times where they had entered the room where the Demon beast resided and
images
appeared in their head. The vampire that had held them captive had to drag them out of
there after he
had heard their screams and after that incident they had never ventured in there again.
Logan also made sure to pass on this warning to Peter and Borden, although he was unsure
if the two of
them would be affected like he was considering how they were.
Finally, Logan had gotten nearly everything down to the last detail. He had created the best
serum he
could possibly create, now there was only the last step needed. Melting down the Emperor
tier crystals
and adding it to the green solution, but when he went to look in his storage box, he also
noticed a few
bright red crystals in there.
These were blood crystals, the crystals harvested from the battle the tenth family recently
had. He had
been given some to do some research on, and he still had them on him.
‘The vampire was focused on creating a blood substitute, so he tried to mix the beast DNA
with humans
to get human blood. There were also some attempts on vampires made, but vampire and
human bodies
aren’t the same. Then what would happen if I used the blood crystal instead?’ Logan
wondered.
My Vampire System Chapter 914: A red beam
After spending a few days at the lab, Logan had gathered everything he needed. He had even
found the
time to create new weapons for Peter. As for the serum, there had been enough to create two
vials of
green liquid.
How long they would last for or more importantly what effects they would have on Borden,
Logan was
unsure. He suggested they should test one out before they left, but Borden insisted that he
trusted
Logan and he thought it wiser to have a second dosage just in case.
As for Peter, he still wore Paul’s gloves on his hands since they were made with fairy blood.
However,
there were now two single long blades hidden under his clothing where his forearms would
be,
that could retract as he wished. It was safe to say he was pleased.
Luck seemed to be on their side, since just like on the way to the lab they didn’t run into any
trouble on
the way back. When they had reached the vampire settlement, things seemed to be a little
more rowdy
than usual.
“What is going on?” Logan asked, as many vampires were out on the street all talking to each
other
excitedly. Yet, the tension in the air around didn’t seem to bode well.
Using his hearing, Peter listened in to all the conversation he could, while Logan was
gathering
information via his small spiders. Between the two of them they quickly figured out what
had happened
while they were away, how Quinn’s execution was set and how the tenth castle was
surrounded by the
Royal Guards to prevent them from doing anything about that.
‘This is not good, if the others can’t leave the castle, then how will Quinn get out of his
predicament?’
Logan started to rack his brain for a solution. In the end, it felt like that it may very well be
down to the
three of them, to break Quinn out of this whole mess.
Some time passed, and it looked like the execution was proceeding as scheduled as those
from the
families and pooling area were moving forward. Heading down a dark alleyway, the
disguised Logan and
Peter met up.
“Well, it looks like Quinn is going to have a hard time breaking out of this one.” Peter
concluded his
research.
“Damn it!” Peter shouted in anger, nearly punching the side of the house they were meeting
behind, but
quickly stopped himself, worried his strength might give them unwanted attention. “Screw
it all, I’ll just
have to disguise myself as one of them, and break the chains off Quinn. I’m sick and tired of
all this
vampire crap! Let’s just break out and leave this place for good.”
Quite frankly, Logan actually felt the same way as Peter right now. The vampires and the
whole situation
surrounding them was just tiring them out.
“Let me help.” Borden declared. “If I use the serum I should be able to do the same as last
time. As long
as I can use my strength I can break the chains that are holding Quinn and Alex.”
Although Logan wasn’t against the idea, the problem was they didn’t know how much
strength Borden
would regain, nor how long he could fight for. Fighting without that information would be
troublesome
and risky. What if Borden lost his strength in the middle of the fight and because of it lost
his life as well.
“Don’t worry about me.” Borden said with a smile. He then moved his small hand and
snatched the
syringe Logan had been holding on to. Before the others could react, he had already injected
it into
himself.
“At the end of the day, I’m just a clone right? I just want you guys to promise me one thing. If
anything
happens to me, look after the kids from the Blade family and bring back Vorden.” he said,
grunting a
little and falling to the floor.
At that moment, his body started to change, his body was growing by the second, and his
hair with it, as
it reached nearly the bottom of his waist. Soon, Borden was back to the size he once was.
Lying there on the floor with his clothes ripped off him, he started to clench his hands and
touch all over
his body, including the dangly parts.
“I’m back, it worked, my body is back to the same size!” He proclaimed excitedly.
“I know.” Borden nodded. “We should act under the assumption that we don’t have a lot of
time, so
let’s get moving.”
“First we need to get you some clothes.” Peter pointed out.
This was an easy task, since nearly all the houses were empty, their occupants having left to
go to the
execution. Stealing some clothes for Borden to wear was simple, but seeing Borden standing
next to
Peter had given Logan an idea. Something that would give them the best chance of survival.
Quinn suddenly noticed something. He could feel that other than Alex who was by his side,
there was
another connection out there in the crowd. However, he was unable to pinpoint where it was
coming
from exactly.
‘Did someone come here to try and break me free?’ Quinn thought, but looking over the
vampires he
didn’t recognise anyone, yet that made him think of the first person he had turned.
Ironically, that
assumption did not make him happy in the least.
‘Of all people, why the hell is he the one out here? He’s going to ruin everything! My whole
plan!’ Quinn
started to panic, yet there was really nothing he could do, especially since even he didn’t
know which
one Peter was. ‘Maybe, it’s just someone wearing Peter’s mask… ‘
Standing out in front of everyone, at the edge of the platform, was King Bryce. When he
raised his
hands, everyone in the settlement bowed their heads down, and then looked up at the King.
This sight
pleased Bryce greatly, making him almost forget about all the bad things that had happened
as a grin
appeared on his face.
“Alongside him there is another member of his family, a subclass created by himself, who
shall receive
the harshest punishment! You may have heard the rumours so let me confirm, the tenth
family has
indeed been harbouring a Blood fairy!”
Hearing these words, a few gasps were heard between the people, but not many as there
were only a
few that knew what a blood fairy actually was.
“He is a subclass that is a great threat to us vampires! It is clear by keeping this subclass that
the tenth
leader has been planning to ruin the lives of us vampires, as he has already done to the late
Royal Knight
Dwight and so his punishment must match the crime! I decree that both of them shall be
executed
today!”
The sword was picked up by Muka, it could be seen in the distance as it shined and glistened
even in the
dark. He looked at the two of them, and shook his head slightly, but not enough for it to be
visible to
those watching from below, yet Quinn was close enough to see it. Muka didn’t want to do
this but he
had no choice.
‘After I stated that I would save you, I was unable to in the end. The only thing I can give you
two now, is
a quick and painless death. I shall perform a clean cut.’ Muka thought as he started to walk
up to the
first person, who was Alex.
The sword was raised, and pressed against the back of Alex’s neck. It stayed there for a few
seconds,
before it was lifted up in the air. It stayed there as Muka hesitated for a few seconds, but that
was the
perfect opportunity.
A red beam of energy came out from far off, and hit the very tip of the blade throwing it off
balance.
“Now, that’s our go sign!” Peter shouted, as the two jumped over the other vampires and were
heading
straight for the stage.
“You think, we didn’t expect this?!” Cindy taunted, as three leaders including herself
appeared in front
of Borden, surrounding him. At the same time, the other leaders, including the Wight
Vampire Knight
that Peter had fought with, surrounded him.
The red beams of energy continued to fire out at Muka, but he carefully avoided them after
having felt
their power. Logan’s sniper rifle used pure energy created from the blood crystals they had
obtained.
Unfortunately, as a vampire leader Muka was too fast to be hit by them after knowing to
expect them.
“I don’t want your family to get hurt anymore!” Muka shouted. “So I shall end this, and with
the death
of both of you they will have no more reason to fight!”
Quinn, seeing Peter and a stranger coming to help, thought the fighting had already
happened, and he
couldn’t let Alex die in front of him.
When the sword swung down at Alex’s head, the sound of the wind being sliced could be
heard, and
soon after, half of the sword was seen falling to the floor.
“I was wondering when you would call me.” Leo said.
“We have been waiting for this, don’t worry we knew you would do this.” Paul replied as well.
Seeing how Peter had joined in already, Quinn had decided that it would be finally time for
him to use
the system’s summon skill, bringing both of his knights to his side.
“Good, now break me out of here, and let’s get the hell out of this place, before I really start
tearing all
these guys apart!” Quinn shouted.
My Vampire System Chapter 915: The breakout
From the very back, miles away, looking through his scope, Logan had a good view of
everything that
was happening. What he was surprised about was, even with the power of his new weapon
and the use
of blood crystals, that the leader Muka was able to avoid his attacks. Leaders were clearly
stronger than
he had anticipated.
As he was confident, if the weapon was to be used against a vampire knight, they would
struggle to
avoid such an attack.
The other problem was, unlike last time, Logan was hoping there would also be those on
Quinn’s side.
Those that would not join the battle. That way, Borden or Peter would be able to get through,
but that
didn’t happen at all.
When the sword was lifted, Logan started to imagine a life without Quinn for a brief second.
What
would be left of all of them after it happened? Would they be lost without a leader, would
someone
take his place, and would Logan be able to find out the truth of his family? Lastly, he
realised how much
of a loss Quinn would personally be for him.
However, the blade was stopped, and two of the people Logan had a lot of faith in were seen
on stage.
He had no clue how Quinn was able to do it, but Quinn was always full of surprises, just like
the towers
he had made. What Logan liked, even more, was that both Leo and Paul were wearing the
masks he had
created for them.
Before, when arriving in the settlement, Logan had attempted to make a call their way, but
the signal
wouldn’t even get through. He had a suspicion that it was quite possibly due to the Royal
guards
surrounding the area.
Maybe they had predicted that someone from the outside, or the human world would try to
contact
them, and had set up a device to block all incoming communications. Still, he knew his
masks worked
after testing them with Peter’s mask. Which meant only messages sent within the tenth
castle were
being intercepted.
‘A similar device used on as the teleporter blocker perhaps. If I have time to study these, I
can find out
how they are affecting our equipment.’
Now seeing the two of them there right next to Quinn, they could coordinate everything
together. With
three, Logan thought this was nearly impossible, but with Paul and Leo they might be able
to pull it off.
“Peter, Borden, make sure the leaders don’t reach the stage. Leo, Paul, I’m counting on you
both to
break Quinn free. If we can get out of this, I think I have a way we can all get back to the
human world.
Sorry I can’t help any more than that.” Logan said, and everyone went straight into action.
On the stage were Bryce, Muka and the two Royal Knights that would always stay by the
King’s side. Kyle
and Prima. Immediately, Leo went to strike at the cuffs surrounding Alex, who was closest to
him. His
sword had sliced cleanly through. The cuffs fell to the floor, and Alex was finally free,
quickly moving
behind Leo.
A material that even Quinn couldn’t break with his natural strength was broken with a
strike.
This was out of everyone’s expectations, but they didn’t know Leo was using the power of his
second
stage Qi. As Leo turned around to free Quinn next, another person had appeared in front of
him.
Leo was unable to block the attack, but at the same time, when the blade scr.a.p.ed his skin,
it did
nothing.
“Does speed really mean much if I can defeat you in one strike!” Leo replied, striking
diagonally upward,
going across Prima’s c.h.e.s.t. Unlike his attack that had done nothing to Leo, Leo’s strike
had revealed a
deep cut ripping through his clothes and piercing his skin.
‘This is the tenth’s Vampire Knight? Why does he have the strength of a Vampire Leader!’
What was
even more worrying was the wound wasn’t healing, and a stinging pain was felt within him,
that was
soon starting to spread.
“You idiot!” Cindy shouted from below, off the stage. “Remember that the tenth family has
been
harbouring a blood fairy, and the report from the attack stated that they have weapons made
from their
blood, don’t get hit! Remove it with your blood control now!”
But it was a little too late for that warning.
On the other side, Quinn had summoned Paul, and Kyle was now in his way, blocking his
path. Just like
when Paul had fought against Jill, he had wasted no time activating his soul weapon, and
floating around
in a circle were six green balls of poison.
However, this opponent was not as easy to deal with as Jill. The poison was fast, but if it
couldn’t hit his
enemy, there wasn’t much Paul could do.
Every time a ball would get close, Kyle was able to use his cape to block the attack, and then
immediately, he would change it to a spiral, acting as a large spear, thrusting it forward.
Paul’s poison was purely an offensive ability, so he had to rely on his speed to dodge the
attacks. He
couldn’t focus on trying to attack with his poison ability at the same time.
For he was also surrounded by three strong vampires, one of them being the Vampire
Leaders Jin, and
Sunny, while the other one was a Vampire Knight, a Wight like himself.
For a second, Peter was slightly confused as he looked at the Wight that wore a hood,
covering most of
his head, but it still allowed him to see his distinctive facial features.
“Aren’t you meant to be dead? Borden flattened your head last time?” Peter said, vaguely
remembering
the events when attempting to save Fex.
“That was my brother!” The Wight shouted in anger and was the first one to go in, throwing
out his fist.
At the same time, Peter did the same. When the two fists had collided though, there was a
clear winner
as the Wight’s fist shattered within itself. Knowing what he was tough, Peter knew he would
heal, so he
used the spike gloves and stabbed them into his c.h.e.s.t.
It was too fast for the Wight to react.
‘How?’ The Wight thought. ‘I saw him fight against my brother last time. I and my brother
are equal in
strength, and last time he was outmatched. Could it be, his creator really has gotten that
much stronger
in such a short time?’
Peter was getting ready to use his new weapon to stab right through the Wight’s head,
finishing one of
them off early, but before that could happen, some blood could be seen flying through the
air heading
his way.
A few seconds later and the blood exploded, it wasn’t a large explosion, but it served its
purpose as Jin
just wanted the two of them to be split away. While Peter was startled, Sunny took
advantage of the
opportunity. She didn’t have an ability that was that helpful in a fight, but she was still a
leader who
would be able to match Peter’s strength and speed.
However, when she took a step forward, another red shot came out from afar and had
stopped her from
moving in.
Although everyone was faring well, at the same time, Quinn was worried, as it didn’t look
like they
would be able to do much, and there were still leaders and vampire knights that hadn’t
joined the fight.
Looking at Borden, two spikes had appeared out of his back, he wasn’t using his full
strength, but he was
constantly trying to get out of the position he was in so he could at least get to where Quinn
was.
‘If I use more strength, then it might shorten my time.’ Borden thought. ‘But how much time
do we
have?’
The same thought was also running through Quinn’s mind. Alex was on stage, hiding
behind that of Leo.
He was worried that if he attempted to fly, they would quickly hit him down out of the sky.
While Quinn was looking to his right at Alex, he didn’t notice that a blood swipe was
coming his way
directly at him.
‘I have to get out of here!’ Quinn thought and started to fill in his energy with the red energy
inside his
body. Still, he soon noticed that this was a waste of time, as the blood swipe was blocked,
and a shadow
was cast over Quinn from the person’s back.
“Why did you stop my attack!” Cindy shouted from below. “What do you think you are doing,
Bryce?”
My Vampire System Chapter 916: The truth
Leo’s sword was continuing to clash against Prima’s, but once in a while Prima’s speed would
win out
and another small hit would be made on his body. After having removed the poison from his
body, as
Cindy had suggested, he was back to his usual self and was fighting at full strength. This
time when
attacking, he was more cautious than before.
‘If I want to win this fight, I can’t just treat this man as another Vampire Knight, I have to
fight against
him like he is a leader.’
What was strange though, was that Prima’s attacks were faster after the first hit, and after a
while
longer of trading hits, Prima managed to get another hit on Leo’s shoulder this time. Still,
blood wasn’t
drawn, but when Prima came in thrusting multiple attacks, he was even faster than before.
‘Now I have an idea of what is going on.’ Leo thought. ‘It’s his ability. After he successfully
gets a hit, he
will get a speed boost, and it seems like his ability will stack with each hit. What an
interesting ability,
but there must be a time limit. As long as I avoid getting hit for a while, I will be able to
return with my
own attacks.’
Knowing this, Leo reverted to his own blood attacks, throwing out swipes of blood and
keeping Prima’s
attacks away from him. For some reason, it seemed like Prima was desperately dashing in,
hoping to get
another hit in.
‘Looks like I was right on the ball.’ Leo thought.
However, he was soon distracted, for he felt an energy source heading towards Quinn. If he
didn’t do
something, then Quinn would be hit by it. Leo was ready to act, but then he saw that one
other was
already moving before him, as if they were always ready to come in at any time and block
any attack
that would head Quinn’s way.
It took a second for everyone to process what they had just witnessed. Even then, they
weren’t sure if
what they had seen was correct, nor the reasoning for the person’s actions. For some reason,
the very
King who had ordered Quinn’s execution had just blocked an attack.
It wasn’t until Cindy verified what they had seen from her words that they realised it wasn’t a
mistake.
“Bryce!” Cindy shouted again. “I will ask you again, why did you save that traitor’s life?”
It was such a drastic scene, and confusion had spread so much that the fighting all around
had stopped.
After all, Bryce the King must have had a reason for interfering, and there were those
families that still
didn’t believe that Quinn was responsible and wanted to hear what was to be said.
“I didn’t think you would actually come through on our deal,” Quinn said, looking at Bryce’s
back. “I
guess you at least kept your word.”
Bryce scoffed a little and didn’t even turn around to acknowledge Quinn’s words.
“You are a lucky boy. You shouldn’t thank me, things just happened to come through in
time.”
“Prima, Kyle, stand down,” Bryce ordered, and even though they didn’t know what was
happening, they
decided to comply and stepped away from both Leo and Paul.
“Cindy, you are shouting at me like I am another leader, but I do have to remind you that
even during
this moment, I am still your King!” Bryce said, with anger in his voice at those last words. He
was no
longer hiding the hatred he had for the person he was looking at.
His eyes had naturally lit up red, and there was something Bryce was never able to hide
when he was
angry. It was the veins on his hands that would show.
“I’m sorry, your majesty.” Cindy corrected her tone, giving a slight bow and biting her lip.
“But forgive
me, have we not all gathered here, with the whole vampire settlement and its leaders to
witness the
execution of a traitor?”
“Yes, you are right,” Bryce stated, looking back at Quinn, and nodded towards Leo. It was a
clear sign
that Leo was able to act without him interfering. Using his sword, he cut the chains off from
Quinn’s
hands and feet, and he was finally free.
“So, he wasn’t lying after all?” Alex whispered as he rushed over to Quinn’s side.
“It seems to be the case,” Quinn replied, thinking about the moment the two of them had
met in the
underground cellar.
Before their execution, Bryce had visited them to bring them out, but he had come alone.
Without his
Royal Knights by his side, it was strange, but when Bryce stated he wanted to speak to
Quinn alone, it
became a little clearer.
“Your execution has been set, and we have had some news about what has happened, but
there still
isn’t enough evidence. However, I can’t delay this any longer.” Bryce explained. “The wheels
are already
set in motion. Quinn, what I need you to do is delay your own execution for as long as
possible, you are
buying your own time, and if you are successful in this, then we can all get out of this alive.
Well, at least
the people that should still be alive.”
This was the reason why Quinn had decided in the end to abort his plan of turning into a
bloodsucker
once leaving the room, to do his grand escape.
However, Quinn was unsure why at this very moment, he had finally decided to intervene.
What was he
so desperately waiting for?
“Now, let’s all find out who the real person is that has been working with the bloodsuckers,
killed our
Royal Knight Dwight, and has attempted to frame the tenth family for all these things,”
Bryce stated
quite confidently.
Still, Cindy was unfazed, and even started to break out in laughter.
“Wow, so you really are trying to pull the wool over all my followers?” Cindy replied. “You
have already
become King. What do you have to worry about? Are you really now accusing me of all these
things?
Everyone knows that you have hated me because I was close to taking the position as the
next Queen.
Are you afraid that they might think you are unfit to be King? I would say if you are the one
saving the
tenth leader, then it is more likely you are covering up for something.”
Those listening in to the whole conversation honestly didn’t know who to believe at this
point. For one
thing, it was clear. Quinn did have a blood fairy, and Bryce had saved him, while there was
currently no
evidence for these crimes against the second leader. Not publicly anyway like there was with
Quinn.
“Why do you think I have waited all this time to act?” Bryce stated.
At that moment, someone else was heard walking onto the stage, and it was an old face
Quinn hadn’t
seen in a while.
“You did the right thing, believing in me and my father, Quinn. Thank you for not killing
him back then.”
The voice said.
“Did she…regain her memories back!?” Quinn thought.
“That’s right.” Kazz said, standing at the front next to her father. “I Vampire Knight Kazz
Cane was
attacked along with fellow Vampire Fex from the tenth family, and it was all her doing.” She
pointed.
“Cindy Cha of the second family.”
My Vampire System Chapter 917: The one behind everything
Some families were aware that Fex had gone missing, however, they didn’t know he was
attacked or
about the memory loss, and they definitely didn’t know that something happened to Kazz.
Her words
were even a shock to them all.
Other than the thirteenth leader, Lee, this was the first time they had heard that Kazz had
been
attacked. Attacking one’s vampire knight was similar to declaring war on that family, unless
they had a
good reason for doing so, or had been ordered to.
From the words she spoke, Quinn had gathered that It seemed like somehow, Kazz was able
to regain
her memories and this was the moment Bryce was waiting for.
‘But how was he able to get Kazz’s memories back?’ Quinn wondered. By now Quinn was
pretty sure
Cindy was behind everything due to what he had learnt from Alex. With her ability she was
able to
return one’s mind back to a certain point in time, similar to what she had done with Cia.
So Quinn wondered how Bryce was able to remove it. Was there someone with the ability to
negate
abilities, or possible Cindy herself was able to reverse the reverse but this seemed very
unlikely. Cindy
would never help out Bryce. The main reason why Quinn wanted to find out was so he could
help out
Fex.
“I will now declare your wrong doings in front of everyone in the vampire settlement and to
the other
leaders!” Bryce said, moving forward and pushing Kazz slightly behind him. “A little over
two weeks ago,
Kazz and Fex were travelling together to return to my castle, when the two of them were
attacked.
“Kazz’s body was pinned to the wall, while Fex was taken away. Later on, Fex was to be found
at the
Bloodsucker settlement, and had been saved thanks to a collaboration act between the
thirteenth and
tenth family but there was one problem. Both of these had no memories of the attack and
had no idea
who had attacked them.”
Seeing where Bryce was going with this, Cindy couldn’t help but speak up.
“So now that your own ‘Daughter’ has regained her memories back, and she has pointed the
finger at
me, should we all just believe that I was the one who had done it? This just further proves
my point that
you two could have been working together all along. After all, we know the tenth was
keeping a blood
fairy.”
Bryce didn’t say anything, but gave her a quick stare, which caused her to take a slight step
back a bit.
He didn’t move but it was a reminder that she shouldn’t interrupt the King when speaking.
So Bryce
continued.
“In this situation, one would try to focus on regaining their memories, but if it was done via
the
influence skill, there would have only been one person who I could rely on to get them back,
those from
the second family. However, I guess it was a good thing that I never did trust you Cindy.”
Said Bryce.
“Usually, this wouldn’t be too much of a concern; it was only a brief moment that they
couldn’t
remember but certainly strange. Yet, there is one thing that is needed to not only open the
King’s vault,
but to also open the absolute blood book.”
Now walking to the front comfortably, stepping one foot after the other was Quinn, and he
didn’t even
have the best expression on his face either, as his eyebrows were frowned and the wrinkles
on his
forehead could be seen. Staring at the one person that had caused him so much trouble.
“It’s nice to meet you again, Clown.” Said Quinn. Thinking back to the person who had
extracted his
blood back when he was underground. “It’s safe to guess that the guards protecting my Cell
also have a
lapse in their memory. Getting my blood, I don’t have any direct descendants so you need to
get the
blood from me. Of course approaching the leaders directly to take their blood would have
been
impossible, so you aimed for Kazz, Fex and all the others.”
For once, the usual smile that Cindy would have on her face had dropped, her hands were
left hanging
by her sides. She wanted to say something, but she knew she didn’t have to. It still wasn’t
enough to
convict her at all. Right now Bryce and Quinn were just acting like a bunch of detectives.
Spouting links
that could just be made up on the spot.
“Cindy.” Bryce spoke, and she lifted her head again. “You think we stopped there? We learnt
of all your
plans, it’s useless now. We know Jill, the eighth leader, was working with you. Her Vampire
Knight was
found with the Bloodsuckers.”
Hearing her name, Jill’s face was full of panic, and she immediately started to look around at
what
leaders were around her.
“And there’s more!” Another voice shouted out, being marched in through the crowd, was
the Royal
Guards, and they had surrounded a group of people, in that group was Silver, and those
close to Quinn
from the tenth castle.
As expected, they were already planning to make their move, and when charging out
through the front
gate, the reaction of the Royal Guards was not what they had expected. The guards told
them that they
would escort them to the plaza, and Bryce had informed Silver of a little more that day then
what she
had told the others.
“An investigation was run into those from the second family. Out of all the families, the
second family
has had more vampires born than any other family, yet they never reached the limit. From
reports they
have also had the highest crimes committed that would be punished, and vampires perished
under
infighting. Yet, when we go to ask those in the second family, it seems like there is no such
thing.
Seeing a sweat appear on Cindy’s face, was giving Bryce a satisfied smile and he wanted to
give her the
last push over the edge.
“If you planned to take me out with that army of yours then that would be useless. Prima has
already
been sent out with a group of Royal Guards, and we got rid of every single one, apart from
the blood
fairy we kept for evidence of course.”
Fex too had been brought along, and hearing this he was a little saddened. Silver looked at
him for a
second, and it was the reason why she hadn’t told him. She knew he wanted to save them,
but she also
knew what Bryce’s course of action would be after finding out.
“You’re saying that I’m involved in this!” Jill said, placing the palm of her hand on her
c.h.e.s.t. “Just
because my Vampire Knight was found, who knows what type of words Cindy could have
used to
threaten her. I have just been following orders from you this whole time.”
“Both Kazz and Fex can verify that this happened to them.” Quinn said. “And even Alex is a
witness in all
of this. The one that brought him to Cindy’s castle in the first place as the original eighth
leader. I find it
hard to believe that you knew nothing about this. When the leaders are locked up in tombs
below your
castle.”
Hearing this, there were many gasps from the vampires in the crowd and even the leaders
looked at
each other in disbelief. An original was woken up, and not only that but the eighth original.
“We can prove if what Kazz has said is true or not right now. Anyone feel free to use the
influence skill
on her and ask away.” Bryce said.
Standing forward, the first one to volunteer for this act was Muka.
“You all know that I have been accusing Bryce and suspected Bryce has been behind this
whole thing the
whole time. So it’s safe to say I don’t trust him, and it is true even now. If I’m the one to use
my
influence skill, and Kazz is telling the truth we should all get our answer.”
“Bravo, bravo!” Cindy said, smiling once more. “There is no need to use the influence skill on
her. You
caught me, you were right. I was the one behind everything. You did so much digging. I
guess the one
thing I underestimated was for a bunch of vampire elite leaders to put so much trust in a
human turned
vampire.”
Then grabbing her black dress, she pulled hard, ripping it completely off herself.
“But what are you going to do about it?” She said, with the red blood armour covering her
entire body.
My Vampire System Chapter 918: Round two
As soon as Cindy had ripped off her black dress, everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but be drawn
to what she
was wearing underneath. Some had never seen Cindy wear anything other than her black
dress, there
were even rumours going around that she slept in it, and even when she fought just
moments ago she
kept it on.
Now, having taken it off, everyone could finally see what was underneath. It just wasn;t what
they had
expected. To see the blood red armour. The red colour darkened on the edges of the armour,
slowly
getting more intense in colour towards the centre. Each piece was carefully crafted using one
of the
strongest blood crystals from the past. This armour was one of two that were known in
existence.
“The blood armour…” Bryce said, as his eyes gazed Cindy up and down. He wasn’t looking at
her but the
armour that she was wearing. Soon thoughts were beginning to consume his mind. That
someone like
Cindy, someone who didn’t deserve it, was wearing this incredible armour made his whole
body boil
inside. His right hand was tensed so much that one of his bulging veins burst through the
skin and was
now slowly dripping onto the floor.
A first even for him.
It was expected that someone had to have the armour when the king’s vault was found
empty, but
Bryce expected that there would be someone bigger behind this mess. How could the
vampires let
themselves be outwitted by her?
“So this means it’s true, the Second leader was really behind everything.”
“It has to be, otherwise why would she have the blood armour right now?”
The onlookers were visibly confused at the events that had occurred and had taken a step
back. After
having all those accusations thrown at her, she was now admitting to those crimes. However,
showing
the armour didn’t mean she would be turning herself in, she was ready for a fight.
“Cindy…” Muka mumbled, not knowing how to feel. A lot of his anger thus far had been
directed
towards Bryce, and Cindy had even helped him and his people many times. After
discovering the truth
he felt guilty, not just because he had accused Bryce but for other reasons as well.
Cindy would often come by and visit the cells that were in the Fourteenth castle. It was
normal for
convicts to take their own lives, sometimes they even fought against each other and lost lives,
but now
Muka was learning what she had done to her own people. He feared that those prisoners
suffered the
same.
He was starting to realise that her willingness to help him constantly was just so that she
could get
closer to her own goal by getting him on her side.
‘With her ability, she could have tricked everyone. She could have made it so no one
remembered what
she did, or saw where she had been, leaving no evidence behind. How…how were we all
tricked by this
person?’ He thought.
There was a reason why Muka never suspected Cindy in all of this, because there was one
thing that
didn’t make sense. Why go to all this trouble to get the blood armour and the absolute blood
book?
If she had never framed Quinn for Dwight’s murder, then both him and Jin would have still
voted for her,
making her queen. If she became queen she would naturally inherit these two items.
‘Was she afraid that Quinn wouldn’t give her his vote? No, even Quinn at the time only
became
suspicious due to Fex and Kazz. Meaning all of this started even before.’ Everything she had
done just
sabotaged herself from becoming Queen in the first place, and this is what Muka didn’t
understand.
“Everyone clear the plaza now!” Muka shouted. “The second leader, Cindy Cha, is
responsible for
stealing the king’s items, and for the royal knight Dwight’s death! She is resting and this
place will soon
become a battlefield!”
After Muka announced his warning, he also sent out his two knights to make sure that the
crowd were
to leave the area safely, and they did so quite quickly. Being caught in the crossfires of a fight
between
leaders would hurt many of them.
“This is going to be a difficult fight, Quinn. With the blood armour, you will need the help
of the other
leaders to take her down.” Vincent horridly said.
“What do you mean, I understand that the blood armour might be strong, but just like the
blood
weapons won’t it need human blood to activate its power? She might have a flask but then
the blood
will run out quickly. We just need to buy time.” Quinn expressed his thoughts based on his
own
experience with his soul weapon.
Also after witnessing Arthur’s fight, Quinn knew that unless a blood weapon got a constant
supply of
blood, the time frame it could be used for was limited.
“All of what you said is very true, but that’s only if Cindy hasn’t learnt from the absolute
blood book. You
see that book has special power. It treats all blood the same, including vampire blood, and
when using
it, it will power the armour as well. I’m afraid if she had the blood armour, she would have
already
obtained the book and has been learning it since the day she got it.”
The vampires had left the plaza and now it looked empty with so few people in it, but those
from the
Royal guards and from the Tenth family had remained. They didn’t want to leave Quinn
alone for this
one. They weren’t able to help when he was captured last time, and many of the leaders were
worried
that there were others working with her.
At that moment, Cindy turned to Jill.
“Well, it looks like we have no choice but to fight ourselves out of this one. You know what to
do.”
Jill was still on the floor, on the brink of tears. She couldn’t believe what was happening right
now, but
still she agreed as she got up off the floor, nodding her head wiping the tears away. Soon
they weren’t
the only ones standing there.
In total, three additional men were now standing by her side, seemingly appearing out of
nowhere.
Seeing this, straight away Leo and Borden attitudes had changed and they were ready to go
for a second
round. This was because one of the men that had appeared was the original Eighth leader.
“It looks like the Eighth family is heavily involved in all of this after all,” Bryce said. “Judging
by the fact
that every past Eighth leader that is still alive is here at this moment.”
Bryce was an old vampire, and he recognised them all. They were all the past leaders who
had gone into
eternal slumber, apart from the original vampire. However, Bryce knew who the original was
based on
old portrait paintings they had.
“Don’t blame them.” Remus said. “They are only following my orders and commands. Since
the whole of
the Eighth family is originally mine, they must comply with everything I say. Even if I have
to force them
to.” Lifting up his hand, Remus snapped his fingers, and at that moment a large explosion in
the vampire
pooling area was heard, followed by sounds of vampires screaming in the distance.
“Primus, you are the fastest one, head with the Royal guards and go off to investigate!” Bryce
ordered.
He did so, but soon explosions were heard going off in different areas as well. Bryce was
startled about
what was happening. He had killed all of those that they were hiding in the secret
settlement. He
thought that Cindy wouldn’t have had a chance to coordinate an attack like this, so what was
happening?
Because of this, he had no choice but to send off more leaders to investigate all the different
problems
that were going on. Sunny, Muscat, Lee and Muka were sent off to investigate as well, while
the rest
remained to deal with the trouble in front of them.
“Are you sure you can take us on with so few leaders?” Remus said. “You are going up against
an original
after all, and one that has the blood powers and the absolute blood armour.”
“I don’t understand!” Bryce said, pulling out his sword that was used against Quinn in their
fight. “Why
would an original be teaming up, or following the orders from the Second family, do you
have no pride?”
“Pride?” Remus repeated. “That disappeared a long time ago. All I care about now is getting
rid of the
Tenth family!” Remus shouted, charging forward, throwing out a blood swipe.
It was aiming straight for Quinn, but it would never reach him as Leo stepped in front,
smashing the
blood swipe with his sword. Soon Remus felt a strong blow hitting him in the right side of
his rib,
chucking him across the whole length of the square.
Looking at who had delivered such a strong blow to send an original flying around like
nothing, they
could see a blonde haired boy, with three spikes sticking out from his back and scales
running up his
face.
“It’s time for round two, and this time it will be longer than ten minutes.” Borden said,
cracking his
knuckles. Meanwhile Leo stood behind him and prepared to back him up.
‘What is a Dalki doing protecting the Tenth family!?’ Cindy thought, grinding her teeth.
My Vampire System Chapter 919: Rooting for the enemy
The continued explosions were going off all over the vampire settlement and the screams
from the
vampires continued along with it. The vampires that had just left the square and were
returning to their
homes, were now suddenly running about in a panic and soon the sound of fighting could
be heard as
well.
It was apparent that the explosions going off all over the settlement went from any special
devices of
any sort, but it was from fighting. From vampires using abilities against each other.
The leaders that were sent off to deal with the commotion were trying their best to settle
everyone
down and find out where the explosions were coming from and what was just happening
exactly. One of
these leaders in particular was Sunny, leader of the Fifth family. She was extremely worried
about
members of her family as they were considered weak.
Her ability allowed her family members to communicate with familiars, but due to the rule
surrounding
familiars, there weren’t many vampires in her family that didn’t have them, so they were to
fend for
themselves.
At the same time, not all vampires in the settlement were fighters. They had greater strength
than your
average human, but some didn’t strive to be stronger and just enjoyed living their day to day
life in the
settlement.
Being from the fifth family she had more settlers than other families.
Trying to get to the commotion located closest to her castle area as quickly as she could, she
summoned
her familiar, and soon a large black wolf the size of a house was seen by her side with a horn
sticking out
from the top of its head. What was unique about this wolf was it was able to change its size
and on its
front paws it had beast equipment to power it’s attacks even further.
Shrinking down, the wolf eventually was the size of a small elephant and was now half the
size of what it
was before.
“Noir, I will need your help, we have to get to the castle as quickly as possible.” She ordered,
as she
quickly jumped on the giant black wolf’s back.
Noir nooded, understanding what her master’s d.e.s.i.r.e was and was off.
Noir was fast, even hard for a vampire to keep up with. Her speed was her main trait that she
used when
fighting, but they didn’t get far before Sunny had spotted someone she knew quite well. It
was Rokene,
with his own little black rabbit familiar, and he was crying out for help while dragging a
student over his
shoulder.
“He’s hurt! Come on help!” He shouted.
Sunny jumped off from Noir and tried her best to help as she could.
“Here, give him some blood. He should be able to recover faster.” She said while handing
over a flask,
but she knew she wouldn’t be able to do this with all those she would come across. She only
carried a
few flasks with her for emergencies as most vampires did, but with this level of damage they
needed
something better.
“Can you explain to me what happened? Why is he hurt so bad, what is attaking them?” She
asked.
“It’s those from the Eighth family. Those in the pooling area and those from their inner
castle. They’re
attacking everyone left and right, any vampire they can see, regardless of what family they
are from. The
other vampires have started to attack back, but…. Some of them are our friends. They are
hesitant while
the eighth family doesn’t seem to care. Why is this happening!” Rokene shouted desperately,
hoping
that he would get an answer, but Sunny had no clue.
This wasn’t something Cindy’s ability was capable of, nor Jill’s either.
‘Are the whole of the Eighth family in on this, it can’t be. Unless they were threatened with
something,
or does it have something to do with the original?’
While in the middle of her thoughts and checking if the vampire from the Fifth family had
recovered,
from the roof of one of the houses, a vampire had leapt off and was ready to claw their eyes
out as it fell
down.
Thinking fast and using her legs, Sunny kicked Rokene and the injured vampire away. With
her strength
she was able to send them quite the distance sliding across the floor. At the same time, she
rolled
backwards and the vampire’s claws had dug into the ground.
It didn’t take long after for Sunny to deal with the vampire. Once getting up from her roll she
kicked his
elbow, breaking it, then grabbed the back of the vampire’s neck and slammed their head
into the floor.
She lifted it again, making sure he was still alive.
“You have committed a great sin, attacking one of the vampire leaders!” Sunny stated, but
realised
saying any of this was useless. “Tell me why you are doing this?”
When looking at the vampire’s eyes, even though he was looking at her, at the same time she
felt like
the vampire wasn’t really seeing her.
“These images…these images, the voices…Get them out of my mind! You demons….you
demons I need
to get rid of them…I need to protect everyone…Get rid of them all!” The man screamed, and
soon,
Sunny had hit him at the back of the head hard enough to knock him out.
“Those in the Eighth family are attacking everyone, but I don’t think they are doing it of
their own will.
The vampires are losing their lives on both sides for no reason. Not all the vampires are
strong enough
to do what I just did, I have to help.” She thought, gritting her teeth.
“We have to help everyone we can. Rokene, everyone I knock out I want you to pile on the
back of Noir.
Once we have gathered ten people, then take them to the Thirteenth family. Tell them to use
their
string to tie them up. We’re going to try and save as many vampires as possible.”
———
Back at the plaza square, fighting between the leaders and the others had already started,
and it
seemed like the other leaders that had been awoken were experiencing the same thing as
those from
the Eighth family.
When the other leaders tried to call out to them, they didn’t respond and instead it
appeared as if they
were mumbling away.
At the moment certain groups had formed to fight against the leaders. Paul and Kyle who
had just been
fighting moments ago, were now going up against one of the Eighth leaders.
The vampire knights who were replacing Prima the 12th and Kyle the 7th family leader had
also gone off
to help on their order, for they feared that the opponents they would be facing were too
strong.
There were rumors going around that the vampires were unsure of whether they were true or
not, but it
was commonly heard amongst the vampires that each generation the vampires got weaker
and weaker
as the blood line diverged. If it was true, even though they were leaders going up against
other leaders it
wouldn’t be too easy of a fight.
The groups had teamed up, Leo and Borden against the original leader Remus, Paul and
Prima against
one of the other Eighth leaders, David and Suzan against another eight leaders, and Jill
against Jin.
As for those that belonged to the Tenth family that had come along, including Silver, they
were busy
dealing with the vampires that were beginning to enter the square. Those from the Eighth
families were
rushing to the square almost like mad men, and to support them was Kazz as well.
“Will Leo and Borden be okay against that original?” Quinn said, concerned but he had his
own worries.
Up until the last moment, they had been sedating Quinn with Suzan’s needles, stopping
him from
recovering his power. However, thanks to Bryce visiting him and the execution being
delayed he was
able to recover his MC cells and some of his Qi, but not all of it.
Using the shadow void skill he could create a space that allowed his MC cells to restore twice
as fast, but
then he wouldn’t be able to see anything that was happening on the outside. It was a
struggle but just
thinking about it would waste more time.
If he helped now, he would only be able to fight at a fraction of his true strength, but there
was one
thing he could still do – turn into a blood sucker, but that was a huge risk.
“What’s with that look on your face?” Bryce asked Quinn. “The day I ask you for help will be
the end of
me.”
Standing by Bryce’s side was Prima, who was ready to support Quinn and Bryce and also had
a
determined look on his face.
“The one that will cause us all trouble is not the Original, it’s her.” Bryce said, as the two of
them were
ready to take her on.
Quinn couldn’t believe it, but right now he was rooting for one of his enemies.
My Vampire System Chapter 920: Kill anyone
As soon as explosions and fighting was heard all over the city, There was one person who
had made the
tough decision to break off from the group he was with and headed straight towards the
settlement,
diving right into all the fighting.
‘With the others here, they should be alright without me, Quinn you won’t hate me for this
will you?’
Peter thought as he ran full speed out of the square and between buildings. He continued to
run and
didn’t care who got in his way, as he bumped shoulders with those in a panic, and even
knocked a few
people over on his way.
He ignored the cries of pain around him, and continued moving forward. In front of him, on
the floor
there was a female vampire, who was grabbing onto her teenage son. There were those who
were
fighting on the sides against each other and it looked like they were hurt.
Peter wasn’t sure what was going on, but with all this happening he knew there was one
person in
trouble, Logan. Logan had remained far back in the vampire settlement giving them their
support when
needed with his new weapon. It was safe for him to stay away from the fighting, but now the
fighting
was everywhere.
However, with the vampires returning and the chaos and fighting going on between the
vampires, Peter
knew there was now a chance that Logan could get involved. Peter didn’t think Logan was
weak, he
knew he could hold his ground but it was different here in this world.
Logan wore the spray that made him appear as a vampire to everyone else, but if one scratch
appeared
on his body, then all the vampires would be attracted to his blood, and not just the ones that
were
attacking the other vampires. It was possible that even those around him that were injured,
would be
wanting his blood to heal themselves.
At that moment, as Peter had reached a short distance from the woman and child, one of
the eighth
family vampires was seen leaping towards them.
“We must get rid of all the demons attacking the vampire settlement!” He screamed.
The mother’s arm was bloody, while the boy was injured and didn’t look like he could move
very much.
She gripped the boy tightly, bringing him in closer and placing his head across her c.h.e.s.t.
“Our King, please save us!” She said, knowing that it was possibly her end.
Running past them, not slowing down, the vampire had come into Peter’s field of vision.
“Get out of my way!” Peter shouted as he threw his fist. The vampire seeing this tried to
block it, but
Peter wasn’t holding back his strength and when the punch landed, the vampire’s torso was
ripped from
its body as it went flying down the street.
Quinn was just as strong as the other leaders, and Peter’s strength was the same. Regular
vampires
would be no match for him.
The woman looked up and could just see a young man running off in the distance.
“Who saved us?” She thought, not recognising the vampire.
While going through the settlement, this had happened a few times. Peter didn’t stray from
his path and
many vampires tried to attack him. Each one that did, he continued to deal with them with a
single
blow, saving other vampires all around.
“We were saved, but was there a vampire that strong?”
“I know him, I know him. He’s from our tenth family.” Another replied excitedly. “He’s the
special
Wight!”
Some of them started to remember Peter from the Fex rescue mission. Right now though,
they didn’t
care what family he was from. The vampires were just happy that someone was able to help
them and
save them from the attackers, even if it wasn’t his intention.
———
Logan being where he was could see everything that happened and when it had happened.
The
vampires were returning to their homes from the square. They were all walking nervously
after learning
of what happened to Cindy.
But everything changed the moment the vampire with the curly moustache snapped his
fingers. In an
instant, some of the vampires that were walking with them started to grab their heads, and
attacked
those left and right.
There was great confusion, as the vampires from the pooling area didn’t know what was
happening, and
were unable to tell friend from foe for a while. It was only later that they realised that it was
all the
vampires belonging to the eighth family that were attacking.
The only good thing was that Logan was in a high position, while most of the vampires were
down
below. He started to pack his weapon away, and changed his suit into the speed type.
‘I have to get back to the tenth castle. That’s the safest place for me right now.’ Logan
thought, as he
used a grappling device, to swing him from building rooftop to another. He could hear and
see the
fighting going on from below, but he knew there wasn’t much he could do.
Until the fighting eventually had reached the rooftops as well. Finally, vampires who were
willing to fight
against their comrades had appeared, and with two sides fighting it had gotten quite violent.
One
vampire was chucked up into the air, and as the two of them were falling both of them were
swiping
their arms firing blood swipes at each other.
For now, Logan thought it would be best to ignore them all, that was until on the large flat
rooftop he
was on, something had crashed in front of him only a few feet away, kicking up a storm of
dust. When it
finally settled, he could see that one vampire had defeated another, as one was on the
ground lying
dead.
‘I would hope that the one that survived isn’t one of the crazy vampires.’ He thought.
The vampire turned to look at him.
“Another demon, we must protect the settlement at all costs.” The vampire said.
“I guess, I was never meant to be that lucky,” Logan thought.
He quickly activated the crystal slots located on his forearms and in turn two red blood
energy blades
were created. He would have to deal with this vampire quickly before others turned up, and
he had to
make sure he did it before the energy blades ran out of power.
The vampire was quite wild in his attack, so Logan patiently waited for it to initiate. Even if a
vampire
was faster than him, he knew he only had to attack at the right time, and not attempt to
randomly
attack or dodge. Then, he would at least be able to do something.
As its claws swung out, Logan swiped his thin energy blade cutting right through the
vampire’s arm. It
fell to the floor, but there was no sign of the vampire slowing down.
If you’re in the air, how are you meant to dodge?” Logan said, as he changed his other blade
into a
cannon shot. Firing it right at the vampire’s body hitting it straight on.
It was a risk, as he had used all the energy in his right arm using it as an energy shot rather
than a blade,
but it seemed to do the work, since the vampire was no longer moving, and most of its body
had
disappeared.
Placing another blood crystal in his arm Logan was prepared for anything, and was getting
ready to head
to the next building. He got his grappler ready and fired it out. However, while it was in
mid-air, and
before attaching itself to the other building, a rumbling could be felt from underneath.
The whole building began shaking, and soon the roof itself was collapsing. Logan was falling
through all
sorts of debris and fell right through two floors to finally land at the bottom.
Luckily, his suit of armour had protected him from getting any external injuries, if he was to
bleed now
then it would certainly be bad.
‘What caused the building to collapse like that?’ He thought.
A few seconds later, he had found the answer, as pieces of the building were chucked
everywhere as if
they weighed nothing. Not too far from where Logan was, something was coming out from
the rubble,
and the first thing Logan could see was a pale bald head. Soon though, he realised as the
creature
started to stand, it was larger than a regular vampire and with all its other features on its
body it was
clear it was a Bloodsucker.
Still, when he was hit, Logan was slammed to the other side, with the only thing stopping
him was the
house wall. With the strong impact, Logan could feel blood filling up in his mouth from
internal damage,
but he refused to let it spill out of his mouth.
He looked down at his arms, and the armour was destroyed but he wasn’t cut.
The Bloodsucker was ready to try the same thing again. And even with its basic stupidity
and attacks,
Logan couldn’t block it a second time.
“You should fight someone, who fights more your style!” A voice said, grabbing the back of
the
bloodsucker’s head, and slamming it onto the floor. Then, from its forearm a blade extended
outward,
stabbing it through its head, killing it in an instant.
When Peter looked up at Logan, he could see no visible blood.
“Looks like I made it in time.” Peter said.
Logan smiled, but soon his body started to jolt, and he couldn’t hold it in any more. A
couple of coughs
were made, and the blood from his internal injuries had spread out across the floor.
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t hold it in any more.” Logan said, with his teeth and tongue covered in
blood.
A few seconds later, and the place was surrounded with vampires. Vampires that were
injured from the
fighting, even those that were fighting each other just seconds ago, all had one thing in
mind. They
wanted Logan.
“Come on! I’ll kill anyone who tries to touch him!” Peter shouted.
My Vampire 921
My Vampire System Chapter 921: Borden's grudge
Seeing how everyone fighting in the plaza square was at least holding their ground for now,
Quinn had
decided to use the shadow void skill to create a dome around himself. It wasn’t particularly
large
because it didn’t need to be, but the first thing he wanted to do was regain his shadow MC
points.
On the platform, the small little dome had been created and he remained inside. Quinn
could have also
used the shadow lock on himself. Taking him completely out of the fight, however in this
space he was
unable to regain his MC points as fast, and right now, time was a very important factor. At
the same
time sitting in the dome, Quinn started to meditate and he could feel his Qi energy coming
back once
again.
‘Just wait Cindy, the second I’m out of here, I’ll pay you back for all that crap that you put me
through.’
Quinn thought. ‘Guys, just wait a little longer.’
It was almost impossible for him not to worry, while the rest were outside fighting.
Outside, the shadow dome was noticed by Cindy as well.
‘That boy, he is someone I have to watch out for. He is a dark horse that could ruin
everything, and with
that shadow power of his it is a problem, especially if he calls him’ Cindy thought referring
to Arthur.
Seeing this, Jill looked towards Remus, and gave him a slight nod, and soon he placed his
fingers up
towards his head and twisted them slightly.
Those that had come from the tenth family were busy fighting members of the eighth family
once again,
only this time, they didn’t seem to be as alive as before. Their eyes looked slightly dull. It was
clear that
something was up, especially their mumbled words.
However, in the middle of their fight, something strange had happened. They soon were
ignoring those
in front of them, and instead were trying to run past and head to the stage. That’s when Sam
spotted
others coming from behind the plaza, and out from the sides. All the vampires were heading
towards
the stage.
“They’re aiming for Quinn!” Sam shouted. “If his shadow gets attacked then it will lower his
MC points
and he won’t have time to recover. We have to protect him.”
Everyone had heard Sam’s words, and were quick to act as they rushed over to Quinn’s side,
but they
wouldn’t reach him before the others did, and all the other leaders seemed to be occupied
with their
own fights.
Those from the eighth family that came from the other areas were seen climbing the stage,
and Bryce
and Prima had just let them past, without attacking a single one.
‘I told you to stay out of this, we don’t need your help.’ Bryce thought.
As one of the vampires finally got up on the stage, he didn’t have far to reach Quinn, but
soon he felt
something wrap around his feet, and he was thrown back down to the ground. Another
vampire had
climbed on the other side, and a stomp on its fingers forced the vampire to let go.
Standing on the stage were two girl’s Silver and Kazz, and they wouldn’t let any of the
vampires get on
stage.
Nate placed both his fingers in his mouth and started to whistle out.
“Look at that, we the tenth family have the baddest girls protecting our leader!” Nate said
excitedly.
“Aren’t they from a different family?” Linda tried to correct him.
But he ignored the comment and continued to cheer them on.
Now, on the ground floor, all those in the tenth family were also protecting the bottom area
of the
stage. They struck with their weapons, and used their shadow abilities to cover each other’s
backs.
Erin, in particular, was impressive as she was getting stronger each time she dealt with one
of the
vampires, but would alternate between attacking and helping the others, as the words of
Leo went
through her mind.
Layla, on the other hand, wasn’t doing too well. She hadn’t transformed into any of her other
forms and
was just firing out arrows, but finding it hard to not interfere with those fighting. It seemed
like she was
holding back her power, or she just had something else on her mind.
However, it didn’t seem to matter. Although those from the tenth family were few and
outnumbered,
they were far more impressive than a bunch of regular vampires.
“It looks like the one that is controlling those from the eighth family is the one they call the
original
vampire.” Leo commented. “Borden, if we want to stop the others from getting hurt, it would
be in our
best interest to get rid of him as fast as possible.”
“Don’t worry.” Borden said, setting off kicking the ground with his feet. His powerful legs
pushed off the
ground beneath, and the floor was chucked up. “I’m already on it.”
Just like before it looked like Remus was able to recover from Borden’s powerful hits, but this
time,
Borden didn’t want to give him the time to use his powerful abilities, so he decided to take
the fight to a
close combat level.
At first Remus seemed to be struggling, he was getting hit, and finding it hard to regenerate
on the fly.
With each punch delivered by Borden, it would destroy all the bones in that part of Remus’s
body. The
others seeing this were wondering if this was something all original vampires could do, or if
it was just
special to Remus.
However, soon Remus was getting used to Borden’s speed, and he was able to tap the fist
slightly to
throw them off edge so the attacks would miss. The momentum of Borden’s punches were
strong. So as
long as Remus could hit his fist away at the right time, he could make it so Borden would
carry on going
forward and punch nothing but the air, at the same time his body was thrown off balance
and Remus
kneed Borden in the stomach hitting him away.
“Remember there are two of us this time!” Leo shouted, swinging his sword vertically. If
Remus didn’t
do anything he would be sliced halfway through his midpoint, and even he wasn’t sure he
would be able
to recover, especially with the bald man’s strange abilities.
Using the blood hardening, he tried to block it as much as he could but the blade was still
piercing
through his waist. He had no choice, but to use his hands to activate the blood canon ability.
Firing them
off towards Leo, he was hoping to take him out of the fight.
Loud bangs were heard as the two cannons successfully had hit, but it hadn’t hit Leo,
instead it was
Borden. His hard scales were falling from his body, and green blood had been split, but he
didn’t have
the face of someone who had just been hurt. His face was full of smiles.
“Do you not remember, the more you hurt me!” Borden shouted, grabbing both of Remus’
hands while
they were in the middle of healing from the blood cannon. “The stronger I get it.”
Using his great strength, which far outmatched that of Remus, Borden was able to rip both
of his arms
from his body, and then without wasting time, he swung his own limbs at him, hitting him
in the head.
They exploded as they hit his body.
“Let’s see how much you can heal if I keep tearing off your body parts like this. It has to end
at some
point, right?”
Now with his arms in the middle of healing again, Remus didn’t have much to attack either
and could
see the swordsman was coming at him again.
‘This is really troublesome, I have to do something.’ Remus thought as he looked towards
Borden.
Then a few seconds later, as Leo was swinging his sword down ready to cut Remus’s head in
half, he felt
a punch in his stomach hitting him away, sending him across the floor. Luckily, Leo was
being cautious
and had the second stage of Qi covering his whole body, but it didn’t completely help him
negate the
damage.
Looking up at who had just done such a thing, he could see that the one that had hit him,
was none
other than Borden.
“Why are you attacking me?” Leo asked.
“Why, because you’re the one trying to hurt the people I care about.” Borden replied.
Leo quickly realised that whatever was affecting those in the eighth family, was now
affecting Borden,
and he was seeing Leo as his enemy.
My Vampire System Chapter 922: Attack attack
For a second, both Borden and Leo had the upper hand against the original vampire. Even
for an
original, it was too much. Although the original was strong and had good martial arts, he
was only
slightly better than Leo and Borden. And his strength was actually weaker than the three
spiked Borden.
With the two of them, it looked like they would soon win their fight.
That was until Borden suddenly switched sides and had attacked Leo. For some reason,
Borden was
mistaking Leo as the enemy, and now Leo was the one who had to face two against one.
‘Well, it looks like your buddy has changed sides.’ The cat spoke in Leo’s mind, not literally
changing
sides. ‘Do you want me to give you a hand? This could be a tough fight, and it would make it
a two
against two.’
However, Leo made sure his grip on his blade was correct, held it in both hands, and
carefully looked at
both of their auras.
‘There is no better time to improve than when you are faced with death and a tough
situation. One must
take this to learn as much as one can. Making such a scenario like the current one would be
impossible.
It only comes every so often.’ Leo stated.
‘Exactly!’ The cat said excitedly. ‘If that wasn’t the answer you were going to give, then I
would have
thought I had selected the wrong person, but I don’t want you to die this early. If the
situation arises,
whether you like it or not, I will get involved, even if it means having to kill your own friend.’
Borden dashed in and was even faster than Remus, but similar to a bull, as long as you could
direct
where its attack was going to go. One should be able to avoid it, and that’s exactly what Leo
did with his
soul weapon. Activating it, he could see the strong aura coming off from the Borden, and
started to
direct it to a certain place.
Borden felt like his punch was being s.u.c.k.e.d into a certain spot, like a vacuum and had
eventually hit
the air by Leo’s right side.
Due to Borden’s incredible strength, it wasn’t an easy thing to do, and Leo was wondering
how many
more times he could do such a thing. At the same time, he was preparing for an attack from
Remus, but
it never did happen.
“Remus, I’ll get you!” Borden shouted, swinging another fist. This time Leo had to block it
with his
sword, and at the same time, he dragged the energy away to weaken the attack. Touching his
skin, Leo
also moved some of his energy into his own body.
Due to Borden being half-human, the Dalki energy was more similar to that of Qi, or a beast.
There was
no risk of turning into a Bloodsucker himself, like if he was to take Remus energy.
‘Why didn’t the other vampire attack? It was the perfect opportunity, and I’m sure they
would have had
time.’ Leo thought, at that moment, a few blood bullets came out his way, but Leo was able
to block
them all and soon after, Borden attacked him again.
Now, Leo was starting to understand. The two of them were attacking him, but not at the
same time.
Whatever Remus was doing to Borden most likely took a lot of effort. So if he wanted to
attack, he
would have to break his concentration for a few seconds.
To Leo, rather than fighting two at once, it felt like he was more fighting one after the other,
and Leo
had a good guess what was going on with Brodern right now.
On the battlefield before Paul had fought with the eighth leader Jill. The two of them
discussed what
had happened back then. She had injected thoughts into his head from others around the
battlefield.
What if someone with a more powerful ability was able to show someone images, and what
if they
could make up those images.
Was that why the eighth family were attacking everyone calling them demons, and why
Borden was
mistaking Leo for Remus?
‘It is also the reason why he is unable to use the ability against yourself, someone who does
not rely on
eyesight.’ The cat added.
Whether or not Leo had figured things out or not, didn’t matter. Because Leo had his own
way of
dealing with things. Ignoring Borden, for the first time, Leo was the one who charged in first,
and he did
so against Remus. Following quickly behind him was Borden, and it would be impossible for
Leo to
outrun Borden, but it was never his plan in the first place.
Everyone was quite close in the fight, and Remus would be distracted, sending certain
images to
Borden’s head. His reactions would be slower. With him charging in, he would have to either
cancel the
images he was sending or fight himself.
“You think I can’t fight you with at least one hand?” Remus said, as he fired blood bullets at
close range
toward Leo, he had blocked a few of them, but also a couple had gone into his arms and
shoulders.
Ignoring the pain, and moving the Qi around his body to support those hurt areas, allowed
him to push
through.
‘I’m not going to be the one that takes you down!’ Leo thought, using his soul weapon at the
last
second. He moved out of the way but changed the flow of Borden’s aura behind him, so he
could direct
the attack to where he wished. That’s exactly what he did. Borden’s punch wasn’t heading for
him now
but was heading straight for Remus.
A powerful punch was felt in his gut, blowing it half away. Seeing this, Borden screamed in
anger.
‘Are the images still being shown in his head? If Borden is seeing me as the vampire, is he
seeing Remus
as me?’
Even angrier, Borden went to punch Leo again, with even greater power, However just like
before, using
every last bit of his soul weapons energy. Leo was able to alter the aura and redirect his
attack so it
would hit Remus’s head.
The punch this time, hit the right side of Remus’s face and had blown half his head off, but
Remus still
had a smile.
“Do you think I would die before getting my revenge on the tenth? You think this pain is
even the same
as I went through, being experimented on! None of the vampire families deserves to live,
they just sat
there and did nothing, and that cursed tenth family is still alive! Bring me, Jim Eno! Let me
skin him
alive!” Remus shouted, without realising he was lying on the floor staring at the sky, unable
to move.
His body was already starting to heal, but his power over Borden had finished.
“Here, use my sword,” Leo said, panting, giving him the sword created with the blood fairy’s
blood. Leo
was spent, his energy was used to redirect Borden’s attack, and it had taken up all of his soul
weapons
power. “Also, carry me on your back.”
The vision had ended for Borden, the second he had hit Remus in the head. When he saw
his body
falling to the floor, and Leo by his side sweating, he quickly understood what had happened.
Doing as asked, Borden put Leo on his back, and then he could feel something strange. A
warm feeling in
his boy.
“It looks like the Dalki have Qi as well,” Leo commented while moving the energy around his
body.
“Although I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. It might be good now, but to learn
that our
enemies can get even stronger is frightening.”
The reason why Leo wanted to be on Remus’ back was so he could use Borden’s own Qi, and
from it, use
the second stage Qi to coat the sword in his hand. With the blood fairy’s power and the
second stage of
Qi. There should be no healing for the next thing they were about to do.
Walking up, Borden didn’t hesitate to slice through Remus’s head, and then soon stabbed
him with the
sword in the c.h.e.s.t. A few seconds later, and it looked like Remus’s body was turning to
ash that was
being blown away in the wind.
One of the original leaders had died.
At that moment, the vampires that were trying to scale up the platform attacking Quinn had
stopped.
They were confused at what was happening, and the sound of fighting all over seemed to
end.
“That useless piece of crap. I healed him when all he had left was his head, and then he goes
and dies
just like that. I see now, too much time was spent on the originals, and we always saw them
as gods, but
now I see that it wasn’t true at all.
“What god falls that easily, right now, I would say I am more of a god, wouldn’t you agree.
King Bryce.”
Cindy said, looking at Bryce’s bloody hand, holding onto his sword, and Prima, who was
passed out on
the floor next to him.
My Vampire System Chapter 923: Raining blood
While Borden and Leo were busy fighting the Original vampire Remus. The others were all
busy dealing
with their own opponents as well. There was no slacking or time for any of them to rest.
Paul and Kyle were both fighting together. Although, it turned out the rumours about the
older
generation vampires being stronger were true. While fighting, Paul and Kyle would both use
their blood
swipes together just to match up with one of the eighth family’s past leaders.
If they didn’t then the old leader’s swipe would overpower theirs.
However, just because one had the strength of two people, it wasn’t the same as fighting two
and the
eighth leader would soon find that out. Paul had activated his soul weapon and was using it
well,
attacking him all around.
At first, the leader was able to dodge a few of the poison balls, but soon he found himself
trapped by
Paul’s ability. Although the poison ability was something new to him, his soul weapon was
not. He had
years to perfect how to use his special earth balls created from his soul weapon, and he now
could do
the same with his poison.
The good thing was, even if his poison was cut or hurt, they could reform, and touching
them with one’s
skin wasn’t the best idea as the leader was finding out. From a desperate attempt, the leader
started to
use his blood skills, firing off blood swipes, blood bullets and more, but not a single one
touched Paul.
Not because of Paul’s super skills or speed, but because Kyle was there protecting him with
his special
cape ability.
“I’m not foolish enough to know you are on our side, and you’re the best chance we have of
getting rid
of this guy as quickly as possible.” Kyle said. “For now, let me be your shield.”
It certainly was strange, someone Paul was fighting moments ago, was now protecting his
life, but he
was glad to have him on their side. With that, the two of them inched closer and Paul
continued to use
his soul weapon with the poison balls.
‘This strange ability.’ Kyle thought as he watched him and continued to block attacks. ‘It’s as
if his ability
has a second form. Can all past humans do something like this?’ He started to wonder.
Although people didn’t like to talk about it, vampires were always said to be split up into two
groups;
those that thought they should protect humans, and those who thought they should rule
over them.
However, during Kyle’s time he found a third group, one that was afraid of humans. Usually
these would
be grouped in with the second one.
They wanted to rule over them, so the same thing couldn’t happen, and Kyle was wondering
if this was
one of the reasons.
Eventually though, when Paul got close enough, all of the green balls had stopped moving
and fell to the
ground. It was so sudden that Kyle was unprepared for the fist that was coming their way. He
could
move, but then Paul would get hurt.
‘Damn you!’ He thought, as he turned the cape into a solid shield, and took the force of the
punch head
on, soon multiple punches were coming their way and Kyle didn’t know how much longer he
could hold
on for. His hands were becoming numb, blocking the attacks.
“What is wrong with you, have you suddenly gotten sick you fool!?” Kyle shouted.
‘Wait…. How can that be possible, the only people here are those close to Quinn.’ Paul
thought, as he
noticed he couldn’t hear any of their voices, but just voices of those he truly cared about at
the tenth
castle.
At the moment, the tenth castle should be safe, or at least one of the safest places.
“Just hold him on for a while longer.” Paul grunted, and held out his hand. The poison that
had fallen to
the floor started to form into the ball shapes again, and soon they joined together to create a
large ball
of poison.
‘These voices, they are all fake, I will make you pay for making me hear the screams of my
people. I fight
so they or any of the human race will never have to feel this way.’ Paul said, moving his
hands towards
his body.
The large ball of poison was heading for all three of them and was as large as a human body.
“Cover us!” Paul shouted.
Listening, and seeing the green ball. Kyle quickly changed the cape from a shield and
covered both of
them like a blanket.
Now the leader thought he had his chance, the less material used by the special cape meant
that it was
weaker. However, soon he felt a searing pain hit him on his back, and it covered his entire
body, soaking
him from head to toe. It entered through any holes that could be found in his body and the
more poison
that was entering him the weaker he was feeling.
Some of the poison had continued to move forward due to the momentum, but it had only
hit the
outside of the cape.
“We should be safe now.” Paul said, and Kyle thought the same since they weren’t being
bombarded by
fists. Taking off the cape, they could see that the leader was on his knees, his eyes lifeless.
A huge amount of poison that no human or vampire could take had entered his body.
“We…” Before Paul could finish his sentence, his vision was blurring and he started to fall
over, but
before he could, Kyle caught him and placed him on the ground.
“You are a strong one, but it looks like whatever you did used too much power. You deserve
to rest, but
I still have someone else I must help.” Kyle said, looking at the King.
Bryce had let Prima charge in first, and Bryce was carefully watching the two battle. Cindy
had a
supportive ability so she wasn’t the strongest of leaders, but he knew they needed to be
careful due to
their blood ability, but as long as Prima could keep her busy she shouldn’t have the chance
to use the
ability.
So right now, Bryce was waiting for the right time to act, however, the right time never came.
Prima was
hitting Cindy with his rapier sword multiple times all over her body, and with each hit, his
speed
increased. This was his ability, but it seemed like his attacks were doing nothing with the
armour on her
body, and the small scratches he was making on her face, the damage would be reversed.
Then, at the right moment, she grabbed the rapier weapon with her b.a.r.e hand.
‘Huh, when did she have such strength, is it the blood armour?’ Prima tried to move, but she
was too
strong.
At this point, Bryce knew that Prima was in trouble, and also tried to charge in, but the
rapier had
melted in her hands, back to the liquid form it once was when it was made.
“Do you have any idea what power I have obtained?” She said, and soon the blood lifted
from the
ground from those dead vampires around, and the blood from the fights around them.
Using it, she had
formed little small pellets the size of bullets.
“This is bad! She’s going to hurt us all!” Jin said, seeing such a thing.
Moving her hand, the thousands of blood bullets in the area came shooting out towards
them. Those in
the tenth family next to Quinn, told Kazz and Silver to come close to them and they raised
their shadow,
blocking the attack.
Jin had cut himself and used his own blood to create explosions around him, to stop the
bullets from
reaching him.
Borden, with the strength he had, decided to try and cover Leo’s body taking all the hits
himself; and
Kyle had covered himself and Paul.
The bullets went at such a speed and had entered Prima’s body going through him like they
were
nothing. Soon thousands of small pellet shaped holes could be seen through his body. As
she let go,
Prima’s body fell to the floor. Unmoving, but no one was sure if they were alive or dead.
Many of them that were prepared managed to protect themselves, but when Jin looked at
his opponent
Jill, who he was fighting not too long ago, he could see she was unable to avoid the attack.
She had
protected herself with blood hardening as much as she could, but had been hurt quite badly
by the
attack, it didn’t look like she would be able to fight anymore, and instead he thought his
best use would
now be going up against the person who had just caused this mess.
Bryce had done well to block the attack with his ability. Nearly everything that came within
a certain
range had been blocked.
“I admit the absolute blood book is strong, but in your hands I know it will be the weakest it
has ever
been. You have only had it for such a short time, and won’t know best how to use its powers.”
Bryce
said, pointing his sword towards her.
“Let me show you how undeserving you are, of that power you have.” Bryce said, taking the
flask from
his side and throwing it onto his blood weapon. It started to light up red, as the power
within the sword
was beginning to activate.
Those from the platform stayed where they were and continued to watch the fight down
below. They
knew that they weren’t strong enough to get involved after what had happened, but also
many of them
had no clue as to those that were fighting right now, especially of the new king.
“Should we help Bryce?” Silver asked, standing next to Kazz.
“My father is the strongest vampire of all the leaders. Unless Arthur himself appears in this
battle there
is no one he will ever lose to.” Kazz said quite confidently, but for a second, her eyes looked
slightly
behind her, at the person who was inside the shadow dome.
My Vampire System Chapter 924: Eat it!
The bloodl.u.s.t could be felt in the air, and as Peter looked at all the vampires that
surrounded them,
each of their eyes were glowing red, saliva dripping from their hungry mouths. Some of
them were
covered in wounds, as they were fighting against each other just seconds ago. It was amazing
how their
natural instincts had come out the second they had all smelt the same thing, human blood.
Usually to Logan, vampires appear quite human in his eyes, they had emotion, high levels of
intelligence,
but looking at them now, they just looked like wild beasts. Where their urges had taken over
every
thought in their body.
It wasn’t only those in the eighth family that were eyeing up Logan, but also those all around
in the area
as well.
“Is it a human? What is a human doing here?”
“This smell, it’s so sweet!!” Another screamed, piercing it;s own skin with it’s finger nails
from it’s
excitement.
A Lot of these vampires were from the pooling area. Other than the same blood they got
everyday from
the packs, they had never smelt pure fresh blood.
Logan was up against the wall he had been hit against by the bloodsucker, and Peter was
now standing
in front of him. His back that usually looked small had never looked so big to him at this
moment.
“Peter, it’s best if you stay in this position.” Logan tried to explain, but the pain from the
internal strike
was hurting him greatly. A sharp pain was felt with every breath he took. Unlike the others
he idnd;t
have Qi to support himself, and now was regretting that he didn’t attempt to learn it a little.
“If we are
up against this wall, then they can only come at us from the front..and Peter..if you think you
can’t make
it out, then just leave.” Logan said, and hysterically started to cough out even more blood
after.
More blood spilled onto the floors and finally the first vampire couldn’t take it anymore. It
was a
vampire that held onto its broken arm and was covered in wounds. It looked like it would
fall over at any
second.
“Logan, shut up and stop making my job harder!” Peter shouted as he punched the vampire
in the head
coming towards them, and smashed it on the ground for it to never get up again. Soon
another one was
in front, and Peter kicked it with his leg as hard as he could, sending the vampire tumbling
into the
others.
A blood swipe from another vampire had hit his body but it didn’t do much and Peter
continued to use
his great strength to show them all they were no match for him. His speed, his power was all
on another
level, and even though he coudln;t use blood powers, it was useless at their level, compared
to his
healing abilities.
“Come on! You little craps. I’ll blow all of you away!” Peter shouted continuously hitting
every vampire
that he could see.
A part of him inside thought that they might give up, but seeing their precious meal right in
front of
them, they never did stop, no matter how much Peter was hurting them.
One vampire that had parts of its body crushed was crawling across the floor, and it wasn’t
until Peter
stomped on its head that it finally gave up, or at least was dead.
Soon he was getting piled on by the vampires, but thanks to the special weapons and claws
he had
borrowed from Paul, he was able to scr.a.p.e their bodies off them, tearing them limb from
limb. As the
fairy blood entered their bodies, their movements slowed down greatly as well.
Logan, who now had his back leant up against the wall couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Peter was
taking on an army of vampires all by himself, his weapons and clothes were soaked in blood,
and it
didn’t look like he was slowing down.
This was because of what Peter was. He was a Wight, someone who never tired or ran out of
stamina,
but had the strength of the one who had created him.
However, eventually a few vampires had gotten through Peter. Logan lifted up his arm and
was ready to
fire out his energy cannon at the one charging towards him, but he didn’t have to.
For one of the vampires that had been beaten at the beginning, had stopped the other
vampire, as if it
was a human meat shield being used just to protect Logan. Soon another one was standing
by his side.
Logan understood what and who they were now, they were the lesser wight’s created by
Peter. Even
while fighting, Peter was going to keep his promise and protect Logan no matter what.
Seeing this, even though in pain, Logan felt like he needed to do his part. He had run out of
the blood
crystals given to him from earlier, but fighting against regular vampires they weren’t really
needed that
much.
Instead, he inserted the King tier crystals he had on him, and started to fire energy blasts at
the
vampires that would get past Peter or cause him the most trouble.
Soon after though, the vampires had eventually stopped, not because Remus had been
killed, but
because there were no longer any vampires in the area, that was after Logan. It was quite the
sight to
see, as in front of Peter and Logan, there were hundreds of dead vampires on the floor.
When it was finally over, Peter was seen kneeling over on the floor holding his stomach.
“Peter, what’s wrong?” Logan asked, but was still hurting from his own wounds. The reason
why he was
concerned was because Peter shouldn’t be tired. He didn’t have stamina like the others.
“I’m so hungry!” Peter shouted, and screamed as if someone was grabbing down into his
stomach and
trying to pull something out.
Of course Peter would be hungry. His body was constantly healing while he was fighting all
of those
vampires.
While Peter was lying there on the floor, for the first time Logan was seeing something
happen to him
he had never seen before. The wounds on his body that he got close to the end, they weren’t
healing
and they were opening slightly.
‘Is this, because he hasn’t consumed human flesh.’
In front of his very eyes, Peter’s body was decomposing, his muscles tearing down in front of
him.
“Peter..”
“GET AWAY!” Peter screamed. “Do you know how hard it is for me right now not to attack
you!”
It looked like Peter was fighting every urge in his body to eat human flesh, and unlike the
last time.
Logan had none on him to give to Peter.
“Peter, if you don’t eat something, it looks like your body will completely decompose and you
will cease
to exist.” Logan explained. “I know you have a great healing ability, but there needs to be an
energy
source for that, and for you that energy source is human flesh. Luckily we have human flesh
right here.”
Placing one of the beast crystals into the top of his forearm, an energy blade was created
from the palm
of his hand and without hesitating, Logan sliced through his arm. It fell to the floor and
quickly Logan
used the end of the energy blade to sear the wound closed on his body.
He grunted, holding in the sheer pain he was feeling as the wound was burning up, but he
needed to
stop the bleeding, otherwise he would soon be dead.
“Take it!” Logan shouted. “Take it and live, Peter!”
Peter glanced at the arm that was on the floor for a second.
‘What is this idiot doing? He isn’t a vampire, or a wight. If I eat his arm, it’s going to be gone
forever. He
will never get it back.’ However, the pain to fight what was in front of him was only getting
stronger.
“Eat it Peter!” Logan said, shoving the arm into his mouth.
What happened after that, Peter couldn’t remember and had no clue, but when he regained
consciousness, he could see that Logan was leant up against the wall and his own wounds
had healed.
He walked up to Logan, and could hear the sound of him breathing. It was a relief for Peter,
and he was
glad that he hadn’t eaten any other part of Logan.
“You might just be the craziest person in the Cursed family.” Peter said. “I will never forget
this Logan, I
promise. Everyone keeps protecting me, and I now have a lot of favours I need to return.”
Peter thought
as he looked off into the distance, as he could feel something.
The connection in his body had activated, and even as far as they were, Peter could finally
feel Quinn.
He couldn’t feel him during the fight, but it looked like something had happened, that had
awakened
Quinn’s power.
“Quinn, I hope you can give that b*tch everything she deserves!”
My Vampire System Chapter 927: Remembering everything
At first, it was tough for Quinn to stay in the shadow dome while everyone else was fighting
outside. He
had no clue what was happening. There was even a chance that he didn’t need to get
involved at all.
However, just in case, Quinn knew he needed to recover and eventually had gotten into a
special zone in
his head. A particular mediation state that allowed him to recover his Qi as fast as possible,
while in this
state, though, his senses were a little dulled.
It made it so all his body’s energy was focused on only getting his Qi energy back, while the
shadow
dome would help him recover his MC points. Because of the zone and the shadow dome he
was in, he
even had less chance of knowing what was happening. Still, there was one thing he was
thankful for.
The family connection to the Cursed family. Although it was active as those from the tenth
fought and
could feel they were struggling at times, he knew that not a single one had been lost. Quinn
knew what
that felt like now, and he knew how the system would act if that did happen and neither of
those things
had set off.
When he was ready, he had exited out of the dome, his Qi was at full strength, and his MC
points had
regenerated. In front of him, he could see his family members, but they weren’t their usual
selves. The
energy that was coming off from them, their hands and legs that were shaking, they all had
one thing in
common, they were afraid.
Each one of them was in fear due to the person in front of them, and that was Cindy. Seeing
this, on
instinct like a tiger going to protect its frightened cubs, Quinn stepped out in front of them
all.
Now standing there, he finally had time to look at the situation.
‘Did she do all of this?’ Quinn thought as he glanced around at the leaders that had fallen.
‘She even
managed to hurt Bryce that badly and there doesn’t look to be a single scratch on her. How
strong is
she?’
Quinn had to try and gauge the person in front of him. Quinn and Bryce had fought against
each other
recently, so he thought he could use that as a good measurement, but it didn’t seem to be
the case at
all.
[Inspect]
Quinn thought this was his only other option. Maybe it would bring some more light on the
situation,
but it wasn’t the quest he wished to see as Quinn received the quest.
[New quest received]
[Survive the encounter with the enemy in front of you]
‘Survive?’ Quinn read the message as he thought back to when he was on the Blade island,
and he was
up against the twins. He had managed to get out of that one by escaping, but the system was
right at
the time. If he tried to fight back then, he probably wouldn’t have survived.
‘You really think I can’t win this fight?’ Quinn thought, looking at Cindy in front of him and
glancing at
those behind him. ‘System, you’re wrong! I have no choice. I have to win this fight, and when
I do, you
better give me a freaking big reward for proving you wrong.’
This was a fight that Quinn couldn’t just survive, he needed to win, so according to the
system, he
needed to do the impossible.
‘Quinn, I will give you words of encouragement.’ Vincent spoke. ‘The tenth family is special,
and you
carry the bloodline of the tenth family. We are miracle makers, so go ahead and show me a
miracle.’
Quinn had the shadow raised behind his back, and he activated it just in case Cindy made
an attack on
those behind him. Yet, for some reason, she wasn’t attacking just yet. Based on the condition
of the
leaders around him, he didn’t think Cindy was trigger shy with her newfound powers.
‘Just what exactly is she waiting for?’ Quinn thought.
In the end, he got the answer from Cindy herself.
“Go on then!” Cindy shouted. “I know why you’re so confident, why you chose to come out to
save
these people. You are just waiting to summon that damn Arthur like you did last time. Bring
him out and
let me crush him, so I can crush your only hope in front of you.”
Hearing Cindy say this, the other leaders who had regained consciousness but weren’t
exactly dead
started to gain a little hope.
‘That’s right, Arthur!’ Jin thought, propping himself on his forearm. ‘If Quinn summons
Arthur like last
time, he might be the only person that can deal with Cindy.’
However, Arthur wouldn’t be coming this time. Quinn knew that, and so did those in the
tenth family
behind him. This was something that Quinn needed to do, himself.
“Why?” Quinn asked. “Why have you gone this far. Why are you going against your vampires,
your own
kind? You would have become Queen anyway! And what did you mean, what did you mean
when you
said both of our goals are the same. If that was true, then clearly we would be standing on
the same side
as each other right now.”
“So you remembered my words,” Cindy replied. “Well, you’re right, I might have been able to
achieve
my goal a lot easier if I was at the top, but it looked like you came to ruin my plans, Quinn.
You see, my
goal from the beginning was to get rid of every single one of these sc.u.m bag vampires and
what better
way to do it than to become their Queen.
“However, my plans had to take quite a turn when I found out through a little friend of yours
that I was
to die. To die at your hands, a disgusting man of all things!” She shouted but soon calmed
down.
‘A little friend?’ Quinn started to think, the way she was speaking and what she had said.
Quinn was
thinking of a specific person. ‘Did she get a vision when Cia went to regain her memories?’
Quinn
thought.
“She has helped me out greatly. I don’t know how her vision would come true, perhaps you
had found
out my plans before everyone else, but I couldn’t risk it. So I had to stay one step ahead. It is
a shame
such a beauty like her had to fall.”
“Shut up!” Layla screamed. “It was you. You were the one that had killed her!!” Layla shouted
out in
anger
“That was an accident. I didn’t want to kill any of you beauties, you were all meant to come
over to my
side, and soon we would create a new utopia away from all of these men. Destroying the old
settlement
to create an ideal new one.” Cindy claimed.
Putting the pieces together, Layla’s anger and Cindy’s words. Quinn now knew which one of
his family
members had passed, and of all people, it was Cia.
‘Cia, I’m sorry, I’m sorry for running your life. I took away your memories, and I regretted it
ever since.
From then on, I just wanted you to have a better life, and it looks like I just sent you to your
executioner.’ Quinn thought as the anger was building up inside him. It was mainly at
himself, but also at
the one in front.
“Oh, you poor girl,” Cindy said, shaking her head, and seemed quite genuinely concerned.
“This is why I
was unable to save you. Because you have already been trapped and have fallen for that man.
There is
no hope for you anymore.” Cindy proclaimed.
“Why!” Jin shouted, listening in on everything. He had finally recovered enough from his
own attack
being used against him. He was in no way in fighting condition, but his will to find out why
Cindy had
done everything was pushing him through.
“Cindy, we trusted you! We thought you wanted to make the vampire settlement a better
place. Why
would you want to get rid of us!” Jin shouted.
For them, who had lived hundreds of years with Cindy, it seemed strange that her
personality and
attitude would just shift like this. They had never seen this side of her before.
“All of the words I said were true. I do want to create a better place. I just never was honest
with how.
That day when Rowa, my father died. I remembered everything. Everything that happened
to me, and
how the council and king did nothing! I was standing at the top of my castle, staring
outward. The king
was using the blood ability to finish him off but at that moment. Rowa looked towards me.
At the time, I
thought, just like everyone else, he deserved to die for attacking the vampire settlement.
“But before he disappeared, he did something. The final words out of his mouth, I could see
them. ‘My
daughter, remember the past and take yours and my revenge.’ The words seemed simple, but
reading
them from his lips, and his hand stretched outward, something activated. He made it, so the
memories
that had been locked away for a long time resurface once more. And because of that, I will
get rid of you
all!” Cindy stated as she lifted her hands, and too large circles of blood were hovering by her
side.
“Quinn, the blood ability may increase her blood powers exponentially, but it doesn’t make
her any
better of a fighter. If you make this a battle of powers, you will not win!” Vincent shouted in
his head.
“So you’re saying I have to beat her physically, so there is only one option.” Quinn replied,
but there was
silence as he knew exactly what to do.
Not hesitating anymore, Quinn started to fill up his Qi energy inside him, with the red
energy all around,
and in front of Cindy’s very eyes, he started to transform.
His hair started to fall from his head, his muscles were bulging out from his clothes, and his
eyes were
turning hollow. Those from the tenth family started to take a step back, and soon had
retreated back to
the stage, as they had seen this all before.
‘Quinn, what are you doing. Are you going this far to beat her?!’ Silver thought, worried
about what
would happen after.
[Transformation complete]
[You have transformed into a Bloodsucker]
My Vampire System Chapter 928: Shadow Overload
As Quinn’s transformation was finishing up, and all the leaders, including Cindy could see
what he had
become, what he had turned into. The reaction he had gotten from her wasn’t what he was
expecting.
Swinging her head backwards, her eyes widening, she started laughing while pointing her
finger towards
him. It was as if she had gone mad.
“Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!” Cindy said. “My father was cast out of the vampire settlement
for turning
into a bloodsucker, and now a vampire leader has become one in order to save it!”
Jin could no longer stand and moved to the edge of the plaza and was now lying against
what used to be
a small shop, but he couldn’t believe his eyes, for Quinn had turned into those beasts.
‘Something is different?’ Jinn noticed, and he wasn’t the only one.
Bryce had been taken on stage to rest with the others, by Kazz who was tending to his
wounds. They had
to be careful about bringing in human blood as a way for the vampires to heal. Because right
now, any
amount of blood that would be shed would also aid Cindy, making her stronger.
“How did this happen? Did Quinn give in to the bloodl.u.s.t? Did they do something to him
while he was
locked up?” Kazz wondered.
“No,” Bryce grunted, looking onward. “This is different. Did you notice that he didn’t drain
himself of
blood or show any signs of addiction before this? He simply turned into one at will.”
If this was true, then right now, there was a good chance that Quinn was a sane Bloodsucker
like Rowa,
giving him a chance to do something.
For a second, Bryce had to stop himself because he had hope for the boy.
Wasting no time, Quinn was off from his position. He was aware of everything happening
and could see
Cindy getting ready to throw one of the large circles of blood she had in her hand, but before
she could,
he was already behind her.
He swung his arm downward, hitting her red armour. Not a single dent appeared in the
strong blood
armour, but the force continued through it, and if Cindy didn’t allow her body to go with
such a strong
force, then it was quite possible her arm would have even ripped off.
Instead, her body was flung down with her arm, and it was crushed into the ground stronger
than ever.
Even though the armour wasn’t broken, the shear force had crushed her arm and blood
could be seen
seeping through her clothes and falling through the gaps in the armour.
“He’s so fast!” Sam said.
“This is what happens when one becomes a bloodsucker.” Silver explained. “But they tend to
lose their
mind only focusing on one thing.”
Those from the Cursed ship didn’t have to be informed. They knew what a bloodsucker
could do. They
had lost one of their most treasured members because of it, Blip.
Still, Silver was surprised at where Quinn had decided to attack. It looked as if it was
intentional.
‘No, this can’t be!’ She thought. ‘A Bloodsucker shouldn’t have this level of intelligence. Its
attacks are
meant to be wild.’ As she thought this, she could see that Quinn was already going for her
other arm as
well. Making her realise the truth.
‘He’s completely sane. He can control the Bloodsucker form just like my father.’ Seeing this
was a
surprise, and for a second Cindy was startled, but she soon realised that it was nothing to be
worried
about at all.
When Quinn went to grab onto the other arm, the armour on her body started to light up.
Blood flowed
from her injured arm, moving to the other side of the armour, and it was beginning to
activate.
“My own blood is still blood!” She screamed, and the armour started to brighten up more,
but seeing
this, Quinn had moved quickly away and was no longer holding onto her.
One of the biggest weaknesses of the Bloodsucker was that they had low levels of health.
One strong
attack and he would be done for, and he was sure that Cindy wasn’t going to be light with
her attacks.
‘What was that? What was she about to do?’ Quinn asked.
‘I…I don’t know.’ Vincent regrettably replied.
‘What do you mean you don’t know? That’s the famous blood armour? Aren’t you some
famous
researcher? How can you not know what the armour does?’
‘How would I know? The absolute blood book and the armour were reserved for the kings,
and I have
never been king. Maybe if I saw it being used in combat, I could make some educated
guesses, but I
never did during my time. It’s not my fault that you seem to attract trouble wherever you go.’
Quinn’s one source of reliable information was now unreliable, and Quinn was wondering
what to do.
He was a little stumped. It looked like the armour had some special effect, as long as there
was blood
being supplied to it, and at the same time, if he was to fight at a distance, he would lose out
as well.
‘Can you tell me anything about the absolute blood powers?’ Quinn asked.
‘It depends. Information is passed down when learning the book, but just because they
know how to use
it, doesn’t mean they can use it well. Which is the only reason why you’re still alive right now.
Usually, it
takes some time for each king or queen to adapt the book to their liking. However, if there
was a past
King or Queen that had a skill that suits the current one, then we might be in for some
trouble.’
As if Vincent’s words were cursed, Cindy had healed her arm up using her ability. She
started to gather
the blood that still remained on the battlefield and the two circles she hadn’t used before.
They both
started to form a certain shape in her hand. The blood began to elongate into a thin shape,
and soon
Quinn could see what they were.
Now in her hands, she was holding two wh.i.p.s purely made out of blood, and immediately
swung one
out with such force, causing it to break the sound barrier, and a shockwave was let out.
Moving back, Quinn thought he could avoid it, and even though he avoided the most
dangerous part,
the end of the whip, a blood swipe continued out of the very end.
‘It’s going to hit me!’ Seeing this, Quinn felt like he had no choice. He decided to revert back
to his
vampire-like form. His body started to shrink down, and while in the middle of his
transformation, the
blood swipe created by the whip hit his body, sending him flying back all the way to the
execution
platform.
[-80HP]
[20/100 HP]
He didn’t know how he had survived the attack but soon realised that wasn’t the end of it, as
it only had
touched the surface of his skin. No choice. He had to gather all of his second stage of Qi,
and was
pushing the blood swipe out from his body, making it so it couldn’t pierce any further,
because if it did,
then he would be dead.
‘All that Qi I gathered up, and it looks like it’s going to be useless!’ However, finally using the
Qi, he
managed to push the blood swipe away and into the ground. From the force, his body was
still moving
backwards, flying through the air, until he had hit something solid, stopping him.
“Don’t worry, Quinn. I got you.” A voice said from behind. Looking behind him, Quinn
could see a fullsized Borden had managed to catch him.
“Hahaha!” Cindy laughed. “Look at this power! One single swing and a vampire leader is out
for the
count. I can swing these wh.i.p.s a hundred times, and a hundred more blood strikes would
come out of
it just like the last one. With this power, I can finish off anyone with ease.”
When Borden let go, Quinn fell to his knees, blood spilt from his mouth and from his
wound across his
c.h.e.s.t. He still had HP and activated his blood bank, hoping to bring his HP back up, but
he was starting
to wonder how much help that would be.
“She’s right!” Quinn thought. “This fight, it seems useless, the system was right, and Arthur
was right.
I’m weak!” Quinn shouted as he punched the stage, causing a hole to be made, allowing him
to see the
ground beneath.
The leaders seeing this didn’t think the same though, Quinn wasn’t weak. It was just that his
opponent
was far too strong.
All those around him, seeing Quinn like this, wanted to do something to help him. Right
now, he was
fighting alone, but even if they did try to help, they feared they couldn’t do much.
“Quinn, you just need a little help,” Borden said, as he stuck a syringe in the back of Quinn’s
neck. A
green liquid could be seen inside the clear glass, and it was slowly going inside of his body.
[Level three Dalki blood has been consumed]
[Effect will last for one hour]
Quinn was wondering what this was, he could tell that Borden had most likely given him
some of his
blood, but the effects were different compared to last time. When Quinn had consumed the
blood of
the one spiked Dalki, the message received at the time was that he had consumed a level 1
Dalki’s
blood, giving him a ten percent increase in all of his stats.
However, here it had stated he had consumed a level three Dalki. Turning around, Quinn
could see three
spikes on his body.
‘Is that the reason why?’
A confidence was rising in Quinn, but he wasn’t sure if this was enough, and he didn’t have
time to think
about it.
Swinging the wh.i.p.s widely, Cindy had fired off multiple blood swipes just as powerful as
the others
towards the stage, and if Quinn didn’t do something, they would all die.
Thanks to the green blood received from Borden, the 30 percent seemed to also increase his
MC points
as well, but blocking all of these attacks with his shadow would be useless.
Seeing the attacks coming towards them as well. Everyone who had the shadow ability, their
natural
instinct was to use it. They readied themselves and had activated the shadow ability.
At this moment, something appeared in front of Quinn.
[Do you wish to borrow the shadow powers of your family members]
This was the first time a message like this had ever appeared in front of Quinn, but at the
same time, he
had never fought by all of their sides before either.
If the shadow was in the hands of Quinn, and this would increase his MC points, it was
worth trying.
[Yes]
The shadow under all of the feet of the members who had learnt how to use the shadow
ability started
to move towards Quinn. As it did, it looked like Quinn’s shadow was consuming the others.
Soon it was
growing in size, and via the system, Quinn could see his MC points rising.
‘This, it’s similar to when Arthur was restoring my MC points that time he was training me.’
The shadow continued to be absorbed, but Quinn was wondering if it would be enough to
stop the
attack, but at that moment, another message had appeared.
[Enhancement type soul weapon has been unlocked]
Finally, the Enhancement type Soul weapon Quinn had in his system that was constantly
greyed out
could be used, and with nothing to lose, Quinn activated it immediately.
[Shadow Overload enhancement type Soul weapon, activated]
My Vampire System Chapter 929: Absolute Shadow
Although there was no hesitation for Quinn when he had selected the option to activate his
soul
weapon, now that his body was in the middle of a strange transformation, he did have a lot
of worries
on his mind.
Unlike the last soul weapon Quinn had used, he was able to test its uses and figure out how
best and
when to use it. Testing was extremely helpful due to the large drawback Quinn’s item type
soul weapon
had. If his enhancement type soul weapon also had a similar drawback, he would be finding
out about it
during the fight.
Not just the drawbacks, everything about the soul weapon he would have to try to find on
the job,
learning how to use it and what it could do. All while fighting one of the strongest enemies
he had ever
faced. Of course, this would make anyone a little nervous.
The shadow that was on Quinn’s back started to do something strange, it grew in size after
consuming
the shadows of the others, and when Quinn had activated the soul weapon, it rose up in the
air slightly
above Quinn.
For the first time, everyone around could see the shadow detached from Quinn’s body.
When using
most of Quinn’s shadow skills, there was one important factor in them all, that he had to be
touching
the shadow.
Shadow path, allowed a trail to be led out, shadow sink and travel would only work based on
how far
the shadow was spread, and shadow control, Quinn was never allowed to use it, if it
detached from his
body.
The only shadow skills that still worked a little away from Quinn was shadow link,
connecting to other
shadow users shadow, and Shadow on. Even then, this felt like Quinn was using their
shadow rather
than his own.
The shadow didn’t remain in the air, and was moving about fiercely. Moving around as if it
was alive,
and soon a purple glow could be seen around the edges.
‘Just what is this enhancement type?’ Quinn thought. ‘The other type was similar to a blood
weapon,
but this seems to be based completely on my shadow powers.’
‘Vampires aren’t known to have soul weapons, you are unique in that aspect, and their blood
weapons
are created from the crystals of other vampires. Just like Arthurs weapon, it isn’t based on
his own
power. This soul weapon is made just for you, Quinn.’ Said Vincent.
At that moment, the large shadow that was hovering above Quinn swooped down and
started to enter
his mouth. It slid down his throat and into his belly. However, it didn’t stop there, as Quinn
could feel it
taking over every cell in his body. His blood cells, the organs, everything was being
consumed and
changed by the shadow.
‘What is this!’ He wasn’t in pain, but the feeling was certainly odd as if someone was
touching his cuts
with a furry hand.
After covering nearly every part of the inside of Quinn’s body, it started to spread to the
outside as well.
Seeping through his skin, the shadow covered his forearms. It looked like purple fur was
growing from
Quinn’s skin, and soon he was covered head to toe in the purple shadow.
His clothes were unable to be seen. His hair was standing up, floating not from the wind but
the strange
power that possessed it. The only thing that they could see was Quinn’s eyes. His clothes
were even
covered.
He looked more menacing, darker than anything they had ever witnessed before.
[For a limited time, MC cells won’t be affected while using the shadow ability]
[You have absolute control over your shadows]
[You have obtained a shadow body]
Multiple notifications appeared in front of Quinn, and if he had the time, he would have
clicked on them
all to see if they further explained what this soul weapon did, but the blood swipes from
Cindy’s wh.i.p.s
were soon coming at him.
“There’s one thing I understand. If I’m right, no matter how much I use my shadow skills,
my MC points
won’t drop!” Quinn thought, spreading out his arms, and soon Shadows were seen rising in
front of the
others and in front of him as well.
However, it didn’t look the same as it did before. Usually, everything would be connected to
Quinn, but
this time the shadow had raised where all the others were standing.
‘Is this the absolute control over the shadows?’ Quinn thought.
All of the blood swipes that Cindy had created, as soon as they had touched the shadow they
immediately slowed down. It didn’t even look like they were moving, and Quinn’s MC points
hadn’t
gone down just as expected.
The others moved out of the way, and Quinn quickly got rid of the shadow allowing the
attack to move
forward into nothing.
‘This shadow, can it really be used like that?’ Quinn started to wonder.
Out of anger seeing her attacks stopped like they were nothing, Cindy swung her two
wh.i.p.s wilder,
putting more strength in her hip, creating faster and stronger attacks.
“I have the king’s power. How can someone like you stop it!” She screamed.
‘Quinn, it seems like Cindy is in the same situation as us right now.’ Vincent said. ‘She hasn’t
had her
powers for long, and she is still learning it as she goes, just like us. If it was the old king, we
would have
been dead by now. This might be a battle of who learns faster, and if there was one thing you
were
always good at, it’s learning fast.’
Thinking back, Vincent was always impressed with how quickly he had learnt the vampire
martial arts,
using the shadow abilities and all the other things he was taught. In a way, Quinn was a
blank canvas
having no abilities, and he soaked everything in like a sponge.
Running ahead, Quinn showed no fear, he was sure his plan was going to work, and with
each of the
blood swipes, he held out his hand. Soon in front of them, small little portals of shadow
opened up,
stopping them mid-air.
For every blood swipe, he would make a small circle of shadow stopping it.
‘This isn’t the only skill I can use either.’
Then, little small shadow portals started to appear behind Cindy as well. They floated in
place, but it
looked like they were there doing nothing. Seeing this, Cindy attempted to hit the end of
them with her
whip, but as she did, she only saw her whip slow down slightly when the tip had touched the
shadow,
but it had done nothing else to it.
[Shadow sink]
A similar scene was witnessed not long ago. Where Bryce had to face hundreds of blood
swipes raining
down on him, and Now Cindy had to do the same. However, her strength was strong, and
with a single
swing of her whip, she managed to wipe out ten of the swipes she created.
She did the same with the other side, but soon some of the strikes had ended up hitting her.
As they
weren’t the only ones, she had to focus on.
Quinn two wasn’t going to just sit there and do nothing.
At that moment, everyone was left with their mouths wide open on the stage as it looked
like the table’s
had turned.
“Is this something all punishers can do?” Kazz asked, witnessing the power.
“In my whole time as a vampire, I have never seen the shadow being used in such a way
before. This kid
is different.” Bryce stated.
Moments later, the other leaders that were sent away had returned. After Remus had been
defeated, it
was easy to control the chaos, and things had returned to normal. Worried about what was
happening,
they returned as soon as possible.
Muka looked around and could see all of the leaders nearly perished, and out in the square
facing Cindy,
was someone covered in shadows.
“Is that Quinn?!” Muka said, “We should help him.”
“Don’t!” Bryce shouted. “Cindy is far beyond any of our levels, and if that boy still has a
human heart,
she could use you against him. Besides, you would just be giving her more blood to use.”
“You forgot one more thing,” Sam said, never taking his eyes off the fight. “Does it really look
like Quinn
needs help right now?”
Turning their attention back to the fight, it looked like Cindy had been roughed up a little.
She was hurt,
but it wasn’t too bad due to the armour she was wearing. What their eyes were most drawn
to, was
what Quinn was holding in his hands. Although Holding wasn’t the correct word.
Hovering just above them, two flat shadow disks in each hand were seen. In the centre of
them, they
were shining a bright red colour, shaped like a circular saw.
It reminded some of those of the scythes that Quinn would use, combining his blood with
the shadow.
He had done something similar this time only when they weren’t attached.
He threw both of them out, and they came out lightning fast. Cindy tried to hit one of them
with her
whip, but when it touched the shadow, her attack stopped again, and soon Quinn moved
the disk, and
they continued to go straight for her waist, ready to cut her body in half.
My Vampire System Chapter 930: Glowing shadows
The shadow disk that was coming towards Cindy was quite large in size and had a width of
around a
meter. Depending on how strong the attack was, if it hit her, then her body would be sliced
entirely in
half.
‘Wearing the armour, even if that hits me, it shouldn’t be too strong. I still don’t know how
to use this
thing properly, but it ins;t an armour that has been passed down for no reason!’ Cindy
thought.
However, sweat ran down her face, showing that things weren’t exactly going her way. Ever
since Quinn
had activated his soul weapon, he was doing things she had never seen before. She didn’t
know much
about the Punishers like Bryce, but did study up on them after Arthur had returned last time.
Expecting
that she might run into some trouble.
The main thing that was worrying her was the purple glow Quinn’s shadows were emitting.
Not wanting it to touch her, she lifted her hand, and a rush of blood came from underneath
the ground.
It looked like a small waterfall only in reverse. One of his disks was eaten up by the cascade
of blood. It
looked like with such a large attack, the little shadow that was around it wouldn’t do much,
but before
his other one would have the same fate. Controlling the shadow, he managed to split the
large blade
into six individual smaller pieces.
The small blades moved faster, and Quinn was able to control each of them precisely as if
they were an
extension of his own body. Going around the waterfall, Cindy had blocked her own field of
vision. The
little blades had hit. Moving her body, they had touched nothing but the blood armour, and
soon
disappeared with the shadow disappearing in the air as well.
‘Looks like I have nothing to worry about.’ Seeing how the purple glow of the shadow did
nothing when
touching her armour.
‘She’s learning to use the blood abilities more now, Quinn. If you look closely, she is
gathering more
blood. Quickly you have to finish her off!’ Vincent warned as he was observing the situation.
‘What do you think I have been trying to do, woo her!?’ Quinn shouted back.
At first, it looked like Cindy was only able to gather the blood that had been spilt in the
square. But
eventually, blood was seen crawling across the floor into the square area from all over the
settlement.
The more blood she had and could control, the stronger her attacks would be and the more
things she
could do.
‘Then we’re just going to have to get close!’ Quinn shouted, running forward.
She was ready for a close confrontation with her two wh.i.p.s, and it was why Quinn hadn’t
moved in up
till this point. On top of this, he had time to learn a little bit about his shadow staying away.
The whip was far faster than any movement he could produce. So even with unlimited MC
cells to use
with the shadow, he wouldn’t be able to move the shadow in time.
‘Wait! He can go through the shadow himself as well!’
Before she knew it, Quinn was behind her, with two large shadow disks by his side. He
swung his arm
out at full strength, trying to cleave her head off, but she had ducked the first attack. The
second one,
she wasn’t so fortunate, as the disk struck her in her arm.
The closer the shadow was to Quinn, the faster and better he could control it. It seemed to
react to the
strength he had in his swing. The second disk hit her, and a scraping sound against the
blood c.h.e.s.t
piece could be heard, and he could feel the weight of the attack. Even though he wasn’t
making any
physical connection, the force felt like that between two magnets.
She was soon sent across the floor, and as she landed, she kicked off the ground to create
distance
between the two of them. Looking up though, the area looked different as she noticed she
was in a
room full of shadows blocking out the sky and rain above. Soon, something was felt
grabbing her feet
from below and pulling her.
She looked down at her legs, but there was nothing there until she could see Quinn
dropping from the
strange ceiling above. Quinn had activated the shadow dome surrounding her so she
couldn’t escape.
He needed to keep her in place, then using shadow hop, he came from above.
‘Blood attacks like blood bullets, and the blood swipe won’t work because of that armour, so
I need to
get it off her, or…’ Quinn said as he came full force with a hammer strike.
Lifting up her forearms, she made it so the blood armour would take most of the effects, and
for a
second, the two remained still with Quinn in mid-air. The power of the hammer strike was
felt as it sent
shockwaves through the dome, and even the shadows were shaking.
“Arghh!” Cindy screamed, as for the second time, her arms had been crushed, as the
hammer strike had
done its work. Hurting her internally, with blood soaking through the armour. A few
seconds after
though, and the armour started to light up.
Still unsure what the strange armour would do if it hit him with its power, Quinn did the
only thing he
could do….
“The tenth leader!” Muka shouted, quite shocked at the outcome based on how well Quinn
had been
doing. Not seeing him there, he could only think that Quinn had died.
“No, that boy is still alive,” Bryce said, knowing what Quinn had done, because he had done
the same
thing against him.
A portal of shadow opened. From Quinn’s shadow lock skill, he had locked himself in the
shadow space
in order to avoid the attack. However, while Cindy was concentrating on the shadow he had
come out
of, she didn’t see another portal opening behind her, and two large Shadow disks were ready.
Cindy was mid-swing of her wh.i.p.s, and as her wrist flicked, at the same time, the two large
disks had
hit her on the back, chucking her body forward towards Quinn.
Using all his strength, stepping on the ground and concentrating all his anger towards her,
he swung his
fist over his head. It was an overhand throw that allowed one to use all the momentum they
could, and
he had planted his heavy-handed fist right in her face.
As it pushed through, he could feel the features on her face breaking, first her nose, then the
skull of her
eye sockets. Her whole body nearly had flipped over due to the sheer power, but keeping up
the
momentum, Quinn wanted to slam her into the ground.
The only problem was, the blood wh.i.p.s had managed to hit his sides as well.
“You’re dead!” Cindy managed to make a crooked smile through all her broken bones. Quinn
was quite
surprised she was still alive. This was due to her attempting to heal her wounds with her
ability while
Quinn had delivered her punch.
Still, his punch was far stronger than she had anticipated, and she was unable to heal the
wounds as
much in time, and something else had happened as well. The shadows that covered Quinn’s
hand, a few
of them, seemed to be attached onto her face.
‘What’s going on?’ Quinn thought. As he looked down, and could see he was perfectly fine.
He looked at his sides, and the shadows seemed to move away from where the attack had hit,
he could
now see his clothing underneath. New shadows were now moving to the gap, and soon he
was once
again completely covered in shadows.
‘Is this the power of the shadow body? Does it block my whole body from attacks as well?’
Quinn
thought.
As for Cindy, she had managed to get up but was suddenly in a panic as she touched her
face.
“Whvt heie yve dene!” Cindy tried to speak, but her jaw, her nose and eye socket were
broken entirely.
Leaving her with a mangled face. The remnants of the shadow from his fist could be seen on
her face as
well.
For some reason, Cindy could not use her reverse ability on her face to make it back to what
it once was,
and she felt it had something to do with the strange glowing shadows.
‘Now that I know my body is safe from her attacks, I can do this!’ Quinn thought.
[Your time is up]
[Your soul weapon will now be deactivated]
My Vampire 931
My Vampire System Chapter 931: The debt
Quinn knew that his soul weapon wouldn’t last forever. Especially since it seemed to have no
downside
while he was using it. He thought it was possible that it could stop at any moment, and it
had done just
that. However, the bad news didn’t stop there as the system messages continued to pop up.
[Your soul weapon ‘Shadow Overload’ time limit has ended]
[Time limit for soul weapon depends on the number of MC points the user has]
[The shadow will now be returned to those that it was borrowed from]
The second line made Quinn wonder if the others were able to increase their MC points or if
he had
more that had learned the shadow ability if he could have used his Soul weapon for longer.
Still, the worst news was yet to come.
[You must now pay your debt for using Shadow overload]
[-40 total MC points]
[0/200 MC points remaining]
As expected, there was some sort of cost for Quinn using such a powerful soul weapon. He
knew that
once it ended, he would no longer have any MC points to be used, but for the cost, it had
taken it from
his total MC points.
Before when Quinn would check his stats, it would state that he had a total of 240 MC
points. When
using the shadow, this number would go down, and after some time, it would always recover
back up to
the max number.
It seemed the cost for using this soul weapon was lowering the maximum amount of MC
points for his
shadow ability. However, looking at it now, it didn’t even look like he had enough MC points
to activate
the Enhancement soul weapon. Without the other shadow users MC points, it didn’t look
like Quinn had
the requirements to use it again.
Looking at Cindy, Quinn could see that her face was still disfigured, but the shadows
attached to her
were still there, slowly fading away.
“We have to finish her off.” A voice by Quinn’s side said.
“The vampire settlement is in trouble. I just never expected it to be from one of our own
leaders and
one I trusted at that.” A softer voice spoke. When Quinn turned his head, he could see a
woman with
the most gentle eyes riding on top of a giant black wolf with a horn.
Looking around him, Quinn noticed that the leaders, Sunny, Muscat, Muka and Lee, had
returned. They
all were standing by his side, but it wasn’t for long, as each of them went rushing in towards
Cindy.
As they ran forward, there was one more which had crashed directly in front of her, breaking
the ground
beneath him as he landed.
“I still have some fight left in me!” Borden said, grabbing her by the arm and lifting her
above his head,
slamming her to the ground.
She soon got up, but then Muka was already directly behind her. Seeing a fist going towards
her, she
decided to rush the blood up from the ground once again like a waterfall. Still, as Muka’s fist
continued
to go forward, it looked like the waterfall split apart, letting his hand go through, punching
her in the
c.h.e.s.t.
‘His damn ability, what a lucky guy!’ Cindy thought.
“Noir, Keep her busy!” Sunny shouted. The giant wolf responded, shrinking in size, and
started to move
just as fast as any vampire leader. It pounced in and out, striking at the armour, moving
Cindy’s body like
a rag doll.
The only weapons she had on her that was possibly fast enough to strike the familiar was her
wh.i.p.s,
but Lee, using his strings, was keeping her far too busy for her to properly use them. As
quick as Cindy
was destroying them, Lee made new strings yanking her hand here and there.
Eventually, Cindy managed to find a break and took a step back, but her foot was soon
found landing on
something. It lit up, and her whole body was frozen in place. This was the power of the
Muscat family.
The ability to set up traps.
With her staying still, Borden didn’t waste this opportunity to hit her as hard as he could in
the head
once again. Although she couldn’t move her legs, she could move her hands and lifted them,
protecting
her face. What she didn’t expect was just how powerful Borden’s strike would be, crushing
her arms,
and the force continued to be felt through them.
Cindy was able to heal parts of her body with her ability, but the leaders and Borden were
just dealing
too much damage, not giving her enough time to recover.
“Cindy!” A voice shouted from the other end, all the way back from the execution stage. “It’s
time for
your end. It’s our win.” The one who had said these words was Bryce. He was still heavily
hurt from
before and was using his sword and Kazz by his side to help him stand.
“Haha!” Cindy started to laugh. The shadow had finally disappeared from her face, and she
was able to
use her ability once more, and the first thing she did was return her mouth back to what it
once used to
be. “A Dalki, a Punisher, ex-humans, and all the vampire leaders are working together. You
know, if
there was one thing I didn’t expect, it was that under your rule, all of these types of people
would be
working together. You call this a win, I think if I was you, this would be a huge loss.”
Using all the blood that had spilt inside her own body, she decided she wouldn’t heal the
wounds.
Instead, she planned to activate the power in the blood armour. The others, seeing it light
up, all leapt
and stepped away.
Everyone could tell it was dangerous, however, this was just a trick on Cindy’s behalf. The
armour
started to fade, and she quickly used this time to reverse the damage done to her hands.
“Screw you all!” She shouted, lifting her hands. At that moment, all the blood in the vampire
settlement
from the damage done by the eighth family was lifted into the air. It looked like red
raindrops that were
frozen in time.
“Not this move again!” Nate said. “This is what beat all those vampire leaders last time.”
“And I can’t use the shadow either.” Wevil noticed attempting to use it there and then.
It seemed like letting Quinn borrow their powers made it, so he was actually using them, so
they would
have to wait for them to recover as well.
Before, it was just the square, this time, it was blood from the whole settlement, and no one
felt like
they could block this attack, or survive it this time.
“Leaders, stop that attack!” Bryce shouted.
Cindy’s hands were trembling. It looked like she was struggling to hold such power, and she
was still
gathering it in order to summon the skill.
‘Is she weak?’ Quinn wondered.
Using her ability, she had used up MC points just like every other ability, so at some point,
she wouldn’t
be able to reverse the damage anymore, and she had taken a heavy beating from the leaders
and
Borden, even Quinn before.
The sheer power of the blood ability wasn’t the only reason she was struggling. She was
feeling weaker
than she had ever felt at the moment. She had used the last of her MC points to heal her
hands and was
planning to take everyone down with this last move. She didn’t care if she died as long as she
could pull
off this attack, and Quinn had noticed this.
‘If she’s this weak, then there is one thing I can do.’ Quinn thought.
A shadow skill that didn’t require any MC points to use but was dependent on how weak the
person was
in front of him. It was a gamble because if Cindy wasn’t weak, then the skill would be
useless.
Gathering his hands together, a dense black blob started to form from his shadows, then
when the time
was right, he threw it out. From his hand, a giant ball came out towards Cindy, splitting
open as if it had
a large mouth ready to gobble her up.
[Skill Shadow Eater]
My Vampire System Chapter 932: You can rest
The large black ball that left from Quinn’s hands came out fast, and it was the skill shadow
eater. A skill
that worked best the weaker an opponent was and if it was successful he was hoping it
would be
enough to stop Cindy.
Seeing the giant ball of darkness, the other leaders moved out of the way, frightened for dear
life as to
what might happen if the skill touched them. They had seen what the skill had done to
Vadeen, when
Arthur had used it, and they didn’t want to suffer the same fate.
Cindy was holding on to so much power, that she had two choices; to cancel the skill she was
doing,
dropping the power to attempt to avoid the shadow, or continue on with the skill. In the end,
she chose
to continue on with the skill and the head of the large black ball split open creating a mouth
shape,
consuming her.
They could no longer see Cindy as the large shadows covered her whole body, but the black
ball made of
shadows, started to sink into the ground and when it touched the floor, it spread out
making its way to
Quinn.
‘Did it work?’ Quinn wondered, as the shadow scurried across the ground, and when it
finally attached
itself to him, he was in for a surprise.
[Shadow Eater skill was successful]
[You have gained 1000 MC points]
[Total MC points 0/1200]
[You have unlocked the Enhancement soul weapon ‘Shadow Overload’]
Not only was the skill successful, but Quinn had gained the most MC points from using the
skill he had
ever done before. He didn’t know what to expect since regular vampires only gave him a total
of ten,
but it seemed like a vampire, at the vampire lord level, was worth using this skill on.
Unfortunately, Quinn wasn’t planning for more instances like this one to occur. While
Quinn bathed in
joy of the skill being successful and the amount of MC points gained, there was still an
uncertainty if it
had actually done anything.
He turned to Cindy, who almost looked frozen in place, her arms were unmoving. That’s
when Quinn
noticed that all the blood that was frozen in the sky from the whole settlement, had
dropped and fallen
to the floor.
The skill had worked and it had done its job.
Soon after, Cindy fell to her knees and was sweating radically. A pool of water was forming
from her feet
and a searing pain was felt throughout her body.
“Noooo! She screamed at the top of her lungs so loud that it was comparable to a small
Banshee’s
scream.
The pain was unbearable along with the weak tired feeling. She felt like a newborn vampire
sitting in the
sun for the first time. Even though there was darkness all around, and she would have to live
with it for
the rest of her life.
Knowing this, she knew there was one way out from this pain, from this torture of a lifetime.
Lifting her
hand up she was ready, ready to finish herself off. When she lifted her hand though, she felt
it quickly
being yanked and hammered down to the floor on both sides.
“We can not let you off that easily.” Muka said, pinning her arms to the floor. “You will not
get off that
lightly by just running away and not giving us an explanation.”
She attempted to move her other arm, but it was being held by Sunny. No matter how much
strength
she tried to gather to pull herself away from them, she wasn’t able to.
Quinn, seeing this, started to think that the skill Shadow Eater seemed to be harsher on
those who were
more complete on the vampire evolution scale. He remembered when he was a halfling he
was affected
by light, but the downside was worse with each evolution. Thankfully the rings saved him
from that
suffering, but even with a ring now, Cindy would feel no different.
Perhaps, being a vampire lord, the effects of the sun were even worse, and she might have
been even
weaker than a human right now. A horrible thought for a vampire leader.
At that moment, a leader who hardly had any damage at all came out, and threw her needles
out on
Cindy who was lying flat on the floor.
“Suzan?” Muscat said, surprised. “Where have you been?”
The questions asked almost seemed embarrassing for Suzan to answer, as her cheeks
reddened.
Especially since everyone was badly hurt and had fought a tough battle, while her clothes
were all
seemingly fine.
“I know how strong the second family’s ability is, so I thought my ability would be important
in this fight.
So I decided to protect myself at all costs and only come out at the right time.” Suzan
replied.
“So you came out when we had already done the job?” Muscat replied, who was clearly
annoyed. As a
new leader he usually wouldn’t have been so outspoken, but he was just expressing how the
others
were feeling.
However, they needed to ignore that for now, as there was a lot of work that was to be done.
The
vampire settlement had just suffered an attack. An original had been woken, and Cindy still
had the
blood armour on her body, and the blood power in her control. These things would need to
be removed
from her.
Thanks to Quinn’s skill though, they shouldn’t be too much trouble.
“Just kill me…” Cindy muttered out quietly.
A shadow was then cast over her, and when she looked up, it was an old man with a white
beard, Bryce.
He had healed from his wounds and now that Cindy had been defeated, Kazz was able to
feed him some
blood.
Still, the wounds from the fight seemed to still appear on his body, and even the blood
wasn’t able to
completely heal him but it allowed him to move.
“This is another day that shall be remembered in vampire history.” Bryce said, looking at her.
“Although
it is tough for the vampires. After going through an event like this, it will only bring us who
have worked
together, closer.”
Hearing these words, Cindy couldn’t help but smile, and she attempted to spit out a piece of
blood that
was felt in her mouth but being so weak, it had failed to go far and just dribbled down her
chin.
“Screw you, and your vampire settlement.” Cindy said. “What did you do exactly? Did the
leaders save
this place? Did you, as their King, save this place? No! The only reason why all of you aren’t
dead right
now, is because of that damned outsider. Don’t think I don’t know how much you wish to get
rid of him
Bryce…and now he saved you all. This is truly pathetic, you are a pathetic King.”
“Looks like I did a better job than you.” Bryce said, looking back at Cindy. “We will pry into
your brain,
and find out everything you hid and how you tricked the whole settlement. Don’t worry,
your time is not
over here.”
Walking away, he let the other leaders deal with Cindy, besides Bryce had his own recovery
to do, and
there was a lot to be done after getting what they needed from Cindy. Walking past for the
first time
ever, Bryce placed his hand on Quinn’s shoulder.
“You did a good job.” Bryce said.
Quinn shrugged Bryce’s hand off his shoulder. He still hadn’t forgiven him for everything he
had tried to
do before.
“Me and you are not friends Bryce.” Quinn said. “I didn’t do this for you because you’re my
King. Let me
get this clear on our positions. You are not my King, this whole mess I shouldn’t have been
involved with
in the first place. I’m telling you now, I’m leaving this place and I’m taking them with me.”
Saying these words, Quinn looked Bryce in the eye, and he looked back at Quinn as well.
The others
watching from the execution stage were nervous. Thinking that there might be one more
last fight after
all.
“You can rest now.” Bryce said walking away, and a few seconds later, Quinn felt his knees
wobbling,
and his body tumbling to the floor, as he fell lying there flat on the cold ground.
My Vampire System Chapter 933: SIDE STORY (MVS EVENT WINNER) QUINN
MVS side story Quinn, (past)
Side story winner: Quinn. Due to winning the MVS Voting Event, with over 200,000 votes.
A black space, shadows, a dark mind. The view inside of Quinn’s mind was a little foggy and
he wasn’t
quite sure what was happening to him.
‘What happened? I can’t remember, what was I just doing?’ Quinn thought.
Asking these questions, he almost expected someone to answer, but there was no response,
and he was
on his own. Going through the dark space, wherever that was he could see nothing. Until
eventually a
mirror suddenly appears blocking his path.
However, in the mirror itself, Quinn could see quite the young face in the reflection. He had
curly hair
that had just gone slightly down to where his ears were, and he wore a black blazer with a
school tie on
himself.
‘I’m in a school uniform, and I look so….Young? Wait, why is that strange. I am in school
after all, Wait,
school!’ Quinn remembered.
A few seconds later though, and his body felt a shiver throughout it. His hair was soaking
wet and the
whole world looked like it was melting.
Opening his eyes, Quinn could see a soaked desk directly in front of him. Water dripped
from his hair
and head.
“Sorry, I was just practicing my water ability, didn’t mean to hit you, it was an accident.” A
female voice
said.
Looking up, Quinn could see that there were three girls, and the one apologising had her
hand over her
mouth. The two girls next to her had turned their heads away, their shoulders moving up
and down.
‘Ah, again huh and water this time? You know, I can tell you’re laughing. Just because I don’t
have an
ability doesn’t mean I’m stupid as well.’ Quinn wanted to say, but instead he decided to just
get up from
his seat, and head out to the restroom to dry himself up.
“Hey I guess it’s true after all.” The girls started to gossip as he walked past. “Because he
doesn’t have
an ability, he can’t really fight back, can he?”
Although Quinn had tried his best to keep the fact that he had no ability a secret, it was
obvious that it
would be spread around the school sooner or later. After all, nearly everyone had an ability
and was
willingly showing it off. Even during P.E. they allowed the use of abilities, so it eventually
became
apparent and that’s when the bullying started from the others.
For now though he would soak it up, he thought it was best to ignore it as he saw all the
other students
who were low levelled, receiving the same sort of treatment.
‘Why don’t they fight back?’ Quinn thought once, but soon he saw why when one of the
students
attempted too. He didn’t even get a single punch in.
While at school, there was a natural group that had emerged. Those considered in his school
with high
level abilities, being Level Four students. Although being a high level in this school didn’t
necessarily
mean much.
Their school was just a regular state school. All the high level students had rich families,
high
backgrounds and studied with private education. If any of these students went to those
schools they
would be nothing but flies. Although when it came to Quinn, he was even less than a fly.
A group of five kids were being used as their ‘shuttles’, which was the term they used. Each
one being in
charge of a different job for them. Some would do their homework, others would carry their
things, and
Quinn would be in charge of buying them their lunch.
What was amazing was how no one did anything about it? It was impossible for the teacher
to not know
what was going on, yet nothing was done about it because these higher level people were
seen as
essential in their world. While they on the other hand, were considered expendable due to
their lower
levels, or having no ability.
One day, outside on the school rooftop, all of the shuttles had been gathered apart from one,
and Quinn
was the last one to arrive of them all. He could see the four of the others on their knees and a
couple of
them had been beaten.
‘What’s going on?’ Quinn thought.
All he could see was that Yuman, the school’s second top dog was frantically banging his
foot on the
ground.
“That idiot, why the hell did he have to do that, and now he’s in the hospital, and they’re
blaming me!?
Is it my fault that he was so weak?” Yuman continued to complain.
Quinn had understood the gist of it, based on the angry outburst he could hear from Yuman.
Although
people could get away with a lot, if one was to end up in the hospital for going too far, or
causing a
death they would still be punished. At least the world is still a little fair.
“Come here Quinn!’ Yuman shouted.
‘Is he going to take his anger out on me?’ Quinn thought as he clenched his fist. He could
see that
Yuman had already turned his own fist into a stone-like material, which was his ability.
“Do you think it’s my fault? You don’t, do you Quinn? It’s your fault for being so useless. I
can’t believe
his parents went and complained. I know he wouldn’t have had the guts to tell his parents
that I was the
one responsible so it had to be one of you guys. But none of these guys have croaked yet,
that’s why I’ve
called you. Don’t tell me it’s you Quinn. You’re my favourite of these guys. You never say a
word. You
just do whatever I ask of you.”
This was because Quinn had seen that it was pointless to try and argue, you just got hit
more. He didn’t
understand why some people bothered to fight back. To try and change their situation when
they
couldn’t.
They were just making their already hard lives even harder.
“Their parents didn’t raise their kids properly. They didn’t tell them that there is an order in
this world,
and we are above them. Maybe it’s a good thing you have no parents, Quinn. That’s probably
why
you’re so-”
Suddenly, a fist flew out and hit Yuman right in the face. It was the first time Quinn had ever
hit
someone before, and the other shuttle students had their mouths left wide open in disbelief.
“Sc.u.m, you’re freaking sc.u.m!” Quinn shouted. “Why the hell should we be treated like
this!”
Yuman wiped his mouth that was bleeding slightly, and then went to throw out a fist.
Swinging wildly at
Quinn’s head. He had activated his ability, so if the fist hit, Quinn would be in for some
serious trouble.
Ducking down, Quinn went and tackled him onto the ground.
Pinning him with his knees, Quinn didn’t stop there and continued to unleash his fists open
his face. He
didn’t even know when Yuman had passed out, but he finally stopped with his hands bloody
and the
skin having peeled off from his knuckles.
Looking up at the sky. “What have I done?” Quinn asked himself.
From that day onwards, Quinn’s life was different. He was constantly targeted by those in
Yuman’s gang
including the top dog, but something had changed. Quinn was no longer part of the shuttle
group and
did what he wanted.
Now he understood why people fought back, because the pain from getting beaten everyday
wasn’t as
bad as the pain they felt from being treated like crap. The mental trauma of feeling beneath
someone
was damaging to their souls.
It felt like they were slaves almost. At least this way, Quinn felt like he had made his own
choice. He
made his own decisions to do what he wanted and he would face the consequences for it.
He thought back to all those celebrities with great powers that he saw on TV. The Big Four,
the Military
leaders and Head Generals. They had so much power, yet they did nothing.
Why? Why did they do nothing even though they had the strength to better everyone’s lives?
Was it
because they couldn’t see it? Was it due to them being at the top, so they didn’t know what
life was like
for those at the bottom?
Clenching his fist, Quinn swore to himself as he made a promise.
‘If one day, I ever get the power like those guys at the top. I will make a better life for those
like me, and
get rid of this whole trashy system!”
My Vampire System Chapter 934: A vampire Hero
It was safe to say after the events of what had happened, everyone was exhausted, both
physically and
mentally. This time it wasn’t just one family that had suffered losses, but nearly every single
one had
been hit.
It was tough to say how this would affect the vampire settlement and was too early to tell,
but the one
that would have to lead them out of all of this was their King, Bryce.
Trying to regather and create order for all of what happened, even though he was still
recovering
himself. Mainly, he used the Royal Guards to keep control of things, as they were used to
help rebuild
what was lost, make a count of all those who had perished, and keep guard in case there
were any more
nasty surprises for them.
This whole event was quite a shock to the vampires, and it would take time before they really
understood what had happened and why. Especially the few that had remained from the
eighth family,
as nearly the whole of the eighth family had been wiped out.
A whole day had passed since the event with Quinn and the other leaders. Those from the
tenth family
had been standing there nervously on the stage as they saw Quinn collapse on the ground.
They had just
seen Quinn exchange some pretty heated words and were worried that Bryce had possibly
done
something.
Even though they wanted to move, they were cautious and didn’t do so until they were
allowed. At that
moment, two people who had been away had now returned, and their appearance when
returning had
come as quite a shock.
Lifting him off the ground and placing Quinn over his shoulder with ease was Peter.
“What the hell are all of you standing around for? Quinn is exhausted, and no one’s going to
take him
back to his castle?” Peter said, walking to the others and shaking his head.
Bryce did nothing to stop them, and allowed them to do as they wanted.
The group was left speechless by the appearance of Peter and Logan. Not because of their
actions but
due to how they looked. Peter’s clothing was ragged and soaked in blood. Apart from his
face, it looked
like he had been dipped in a bucket of red paint, and as for Logan, He was missing an entire
arm.
“What, what happened!” Nate couldn’t help but ask, while staring at the wound, that had
been seared
off.
“I guess we both need to update each other on our situations,” Logan replied. “The good
thing is all of
you are alive. I was sure by my calculations of probability, at least half of you would have
died. You were
one of those on my list.”
After hearing those words, Nate was just left there in disbelief.
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?!”
Before leaving, Silver wanted to have a word with Kazz, and pulled her arm before she went
off to look
after her father.
“Kazz, you and Fex both lost your memories to Cindy, right? But you somehow got yours
back. What
happened? Can you do the same to Fex?” Silver asked.
“I’m sure the King is definitely willing to. He owes Fex and all of your family a huge favour,
but please
understand that there will be more pressing matters before this. I just ask you to wait
patiently.” Kazz
replied, leaving to go with her father.
Leo, having recovered some of his strength from the fight, propped himself up using his
sword’s sheath.
“Everyone, we shall return to the castle and rest,” Leo ordered. Usually, the family leader
would be in
charge of organising what happened to those in the tenth family, but as Quinn’s breath
could be heard
going in and out like a baby. It was best if Leo took over.
After all of those events, the group had managed to rest inside the castle for the rest of the
day. They
excitedly talked to each other about what happened while they were away.
“No way, a hundred vampires?” Wevil made a face like he couldn’t believe what he’d just
heard. “If it
was Borden, maybe?”
Peter shrugged his shoulders, for he really didn’t care if they believed him or not. He just
answered the
question of what had happened.
“I never knew you were a Dalki!” Wevil said, walking up to the table Borden was standing on.
After about an hour after the fight, Borden had eventually returned to his small size once
again. The
good news was the liquid allowed him to stay in his true form for longer, and Logan said he
should be
able to make more for him as well.
Even give him an injection now if he wanted, bit Borden was getting used to his small size.
He was more
bothered about being disadvantaged by a time limit during his fight.
‘I never did try creating a solution with the vampire crystal. Maybe next time.’ Logan
thought.
“Don’t worry about me being a Dalki. I am based on my brother over there,” Borden replied,
pointing to
Sil, who was in the corner of the room. Sil hadn’t joined the others, and for a good reason as
well.
Even if he had been there, he would have been useless and just used by the vampires and
Cindy as
another blood bank.
The tenth family were quite excited and upbeat about the whole thing. In a way, it was a
relief. There
was so much pressure going on about Quinn’s death, it felt like for the first time since
coming to the
vampire world, they could finally relax. That was until Sam had brought up something.
“The words Quinn said to err… Bryce, at the end, do you think we can all go home?” Sam
asked.
“We don’t know yet,” Paul answered. “At the moment, the vampires seem to be busy trying
to track
information from Cindy, the person who caused all of this. As you all know as well, Quinn
hasn’t woken
up. I’m sure there are many things they would like to discuss with him. However, Bryce is a
strange
fellow.
“Quinn’s words could very well be treated as a threat. From the short time I have been here,
it looks like
the vampires have a lot of pride and demands for the King to be respected. Quinn is playing
a risky game
by requesting to not be part of the vampire settlement. As soon as one family leaves, then
the other
leaders will ask for special requests as well, and that’s something the King doesn’t want.”
The others hearing this looked a little depressed. It sounded like there was a chance they
couldn’t leave
this place, and if they did, then Quinn might be in some serious trouble again.
“Although I agree with my fellow Knight a little, at the same time, I don’t,” Leo said, placing
his hand on
Paul’s shoulder. “You underestimate the power of a hero. Quinn has done something that
the King could
not. Shouldn’t a hero be rewarded for his efforts?”
Some didn’t understand what Leo meant by his words, but soon they all came to know
exactly what Leo
meant. Because standing outside of the tenth castle right now, were hundreds and hundreds
of
vampires, all wanting to enter the tenth inner castle area.
The only thing stopping them was the Royal Guards that had been stationed at each of the
gates. The
reason they were there was due to what they had heard. It was impossible for them not to
find out what
had happened, and now the tenth had a new reputation that was being spread.
The tenth that defended a strong attack from two families, and the leader that was able to
take down
the one that had caused all of this. At the same time, there were rumours of a Wight from
the tenth
family, heroically going around saving all the vampires.
The tenth family weren’t aware of their sudden popularity just yet, but they soon would be.
Although
there was one more person who had found out about it even before them.
Inside the King’s castle, on the top floor. Bryce was sitting at his throne. He was in the
middle of many
thoughts, as they had found out a lot in a short amount of time, and he was pondering about
the many
decisions he would soon have to make.
It was something that couldn’t be delayed as people would want an answer and a forward
action from
him, so that something like this would never happen again.
“Is there something concerning?” Bryce asked.
“Not very concerning, but perhaps something I thought you should be aware of. I know you
are
struggling with what to do with the tenth family leader so I thought I should let you know.”
Before
speaking more, Kyle gulped. “The tenth leader, Quinn Talen, is being hailed as a hero and
saviour of the
vampire race by the other vampires.”
This piece of information certainly had made Bryce have to rethink what he had originally
planned.
“A hero…” He repeated, looking at a newly placed painting, that was stationed just above the
entrance
to the throne room. It was large, and it went from the top of the doorway all the way to the
end of the
chilling.
The painting itself was of Arthur standing there, having sliced his grandfather’s head off.
“I will never forget.”
My Vampire System Chapter 935: King is just a title
There were many things that needed to be done before Bryce could think about other things,
but in his
mind the top priority was obtaining the blood powers that he believed should have
rightfully been his in
the first place.
He wouldn’t let anything get in his way and most of his resources were placed into this task.
Using the influence skill on Cindy was relatively easy and the main reason for this was due
to Quinn’s
shadow eater skill. With that, she was no longer the vampire she used to be. It made her
whole body
weak and this also made extracting information from her quite easy.
With this, they had gotten information of where the book that would store the absolute
blood powers
was kept. Unexpectedly it was hidden in an expected place, in the second castle. It seems
like Cindy was
arrogant that either one, her plans would have never been revealed or the second, that she
would
succeed so there was no point attempting to hide the book.
A further investigation went into the second family’s tombs, and although one of the tombs
had been
opened none of the others had been. This was expected because the person who had
actually woken
one of the leaders, was Bryce himself.
Going beneath the King’s castle, with his two Royal Knights protecting him, Bryce was there
to visit
Cindy herself. Now that he had the blood book, the powers needed to be extracted to the
book, and
then Bryce would have to take the powers form the blood book again.
In a way he was thankful that she hadn’t been killed, otherwise he wasn’t sure what would
happen to
the blood powers, and there was no knowledge to date about that either.
When he arrived he could see Cindy there, a vampire leader covered in a plain brown top.
Her eyes were
heavily bagged. Even though vampires didn’t need much sleep they still did on occasion, but
it looked
like Cindy never got to rest and it was all due to the pain she was suffering from.
Cindy had been confined in one of the cellars where a special combination would be needed,
in order
for it to be opened. The conditions inside the cell were better than what Quinn was kept in.
Due to
Cindy’s current mental state they knew that they didn’t have to worry about her breaking
out. However,
it was still unknown if there were other leaders who might still be working with her, who
might attempt
a rescue.
Although, it was still deemed necessary to bind her hands and ankles so that she was unable
to make
another suicide attempt. At least, not until they had extracted all the information from her
that they
required.
The blood armour had already been taken off, and was placed in the King’s vault like it
should have
been. Only when needed would it be called upon.
“What do you want?” Cindy asked. Not even looking up, when Bryce had entered. The heavy
cuffs that
bound her hands and legs, prevented her from the freedom of being able to move around
too much.
“The Punisher’s power is certainly cruel and usually I would say no one is deserving of such a
fate. But
for you I think the punishment fits quite well. You know why we are here.” Bryce stated.
Prima handed Bryce the blood book before he walked over to where Cindy was, and quickly
made a cut
in the palm of her hand. Bryce wasn’t sure if she was resisting or not, even if she was, he
couldn’t tell
based on how weak she was now.
He shoved her hand on top of the book, and then his eyes started to glow red, as he looked
into hers.
“You will give up your absolute blood powers.” Bryce stated.
At that moment, Cindy had no resistance as she had no choice but to do what he asked, and
the book
started to glow. A whirlwind of red swirls of energy surrounded her body, and the power had
even lifted
her up in the air slightly, but no matter what happened, Bryce wouldn’t let go of the book.
As the whirlwind began to die down, all of the red swirls had entered the book, and the red
gem in the
center started to light up once again, showing that the power had been returned.
Prima went forward to grab the book off Bryce once more, but Bryce shook his head and
placed it
beneath his waist.
“This power has already fallen into the wrong hands once, it won’t happen again. You can
lock up the
book once the powers have been transferred over.” Bryce said and looked back at Cindy.
“We have been trying to run our investigation to see who is exactly involved in this. The
eighth leader Jill
keeps insisting that she was forced by you, and that even she doesn’t have a clear picture or
idea as to
why you exactly have done all of this.” Said Bryce.
“Now are you willing to tell us, or are you going to make this difficult for us?”
Whereas if Cindy willingly told them, then they could just use the influence skill to confirm
whether or
not what she had said was the truth.
“And will you grant me my wish if I tell you everything?” She replied, whining still from the
pain.
“Which wish, your wish to become Queen or your current wish?” Bryce asked, thinking he
knew what
her current wish was.
“Hahah, I never knew you were a funny man, my wish was never to become Queen, Bryce.
Although I
still managed to accomplish half of what I wanted, I will tell you everything. As long as you
promise to
kill me after.” Cindy requested.
Bryce had to think about it for a while, they could get what they wanted through the
influence skill, so
Cindy didn’t really have a bargaining chip. In all honesty, after Bryce got what he wanted
from Cindy, it
didn’t matter to him if she was dead or alive. As long as he could store her blood for other
uses in the
future.
“You have my word, that we will set a date for your death so you will not have to suffer
forever.” Bryce
promised.
“Bryce, I don’t know whether you will make a good King or a bad King, or whether you even
care about
hearing my story, but if the old King had listened to those beneath him, then maybe
something like this
would have never happened.
“Sometimes, when you try to fix the current problem and not think about the future, then
the solution
now might cause a bigger problem in the future.” Said Cindy.
Walking up to her, adn staring her in the face, Bryce showed no fear.
“Cindy, let me tell you something, why would I take advice from someone who is in your
position?”
Bryce replied. “I am here where I am today because of my actions. At the very top of all the
vampires,
while you are stuck down here in this cell suffering. I would be mad to take advice from you.”
Hearing these words, seeing that Bryce was so proud of what he accomplished, it made
Cindy smile.
“Ah yes, you achieved this all by yourself didn’t you, and you say you are top of all the
vampires? King is
merely a title. I can see you’re afraid. It’s why you won’t let anyone touch the blood book
anymore,
because even you think deep down that there is now another one. Another vampire more
deserving of
that title.” Cindy said.
Although Bryce didn’t react, his body told a different story as the veins on his hand started to
bulge once
more. He and his Royal Knights knew who she was referring to. It was the tenth leader,
Quinn. The one
the people claimed was the hero.
My Vampire System Chapter 936: Cindy's darkness
After Cindy’s taunting words, Bryce had eventually calmed down as he thought about a few
things. He
touched the book around his waist and he could feel the power seeping out from the book.
“You think the tenth leader will be a problem? I disagree.” Bryce said, as he pulled out the
book from his
waist and a flask along with it.
“Your majesty, what are you doing?” Kyle asked. “You are meant to obtain the blood powers
in front of
all the other leaders.” Although Kyle didn’t question it, he also wondered where Bryce had
retrieved
another flask with all the leader’s blood inside.
“And have more people question who has the right to this power? You know we are all far too
involved
in this already!” Bryce shouted back and poured the flask of blood over the book. The power
that was
recently bound within the book just a moment ago, was now seeping out again.
The red crystal on top of the book lit up brightly, and soon started to dim as the powers
inside were
transferred over to Bryce.
Bryce looked at his hand as if it was foreign to him, and started to move it like so as well.
Then from the
wound that had been cut on Cindy from earlier, he started to move his fingers, and blood
started to
move from her hand creating a small ping pong sized ball.
Eventually, he started to rotate it, spinning it around his hand.
“Cindy, with this power no one should have been a match for you. You were in such a rush to
complete
things. Now as King, I have time on my hands. That boy will not be a problem. Now, speak.”
Cindy wanted to say more but she could tell that, now he had the blood powers, it had given
him a
sense of false confidence. She knew this best because she had felt the same way, yet she had
still been
defeated. Saying anything now would just be wasting her time, and the quicker she told her
story, the
quicker she could get rid of this pain.
———
Cindy had the respect of many leaders, and during her time she had helped other leaders as
well as their
people with many problems due to the powerful second ability. Because of this, she gained a
lot of
favour with certain families.
Part of this was also due to how hardworking Cindy seemed to be, and this was actually true
of her
behalf, but the reason why she was so hardworking was because of her father. The second
family went
through a rough period when her father, the old leader, had turned into a Bloodsucker.
When her father had left, she too naturally hated him for what he had become.
Bloodsuckers, vampires
who lost control to the bloodl.u.s.t and couldn’t control themselves, going against the wishes
of the
settlement. Because of this, she hated her father.
However, that all changed on the day that he died. Before he had died, he had restored a
memory of
hers. Cancelling the reverse skill used when she was a young one. At that moment tears
started to flow
down her face.
For hundreds of years she had hated her father, when in truth he was the one that had
always protected
her.
She thought this was due to the abandonment of her father, but after learning the dark truth
she
realised it wasn’t the case at all.
The truth of Cindy’s past was closely related to that of the eighth family’s and it wasn’t a
good relation.
The eighth family seemed to be obsessed with a certain goal that would be passed down
from leader to
leader and this goal in particular was attempting to create a Dhampir. They had tried many
methods for
this but none of them worked.
This eventually led them to trying to cross humans with female vampires, and one of the
people that
had been selected to participate in this, was Cindy. When she was still very young. The
second family at
the time had many children and they thought that the family wouldn’t care about such a
thing, but her
father Rowa did care.
Finding out about it, he had put a stop to it, however, after reporting it to the current King at
the time
and returning her, they had done nothing. Their answer was to simply start again, putting
the current
leader to sleep and selecting a new one. Cindy was traumatised for what she had been forced
to go
through and her father made it so she would never have to remember those events ever
again.
When these memories resurfaced, she realised why she had a hatred for men, the past
eighth leaders
and for what had happened to her. The King, who had outcasted the only person who had
protected
her, and the eighth family who received next to no punishment.
Cindy wanted to get rid of it all, and she wanted to start with the eighth family. Supposedly,
the eighth
family Original leader had perished due to an experiment conducted from the tenth family,
and she
wanted to see this for herself.
Perhaps she could get an answer from him as to why she had been put through so much.
Obtaining blood from one of the eighth’s heirs she had entered the eighth’s family tomb and
summoned
the Original leader. They were right, what was left of him certainly wasn’t a vampire, there
was nothing
left but a beating heart, linked to an outer shell of the brain. There was no flesh, or anything,
or even a
way for the body to properly consume blood.
She imagined they had put him in the tomb just out of respect.
However, Cindy hadn’t exactly been honest about the strength of her powers, after spending
some time,
over the course of weeks she had eventually restored the eighth leader back to what he once
was and
he had remembered everything the tenth family did to him.
Although Cindy wanted to get rid of the eighth family, she also had the goal of crushing the
whole
settlement. The one that had killed her beloved father. Now, the Original vampire Remus
owed Cindy a
favour. What she was surprised by was just how much power Remus seemed to have over his
ability
compared to the previous leaders. How when using his powers, he could force those with
more of his
blood to do whatever he wished.
Since both of their goals were similar they had decided to work together and Jill was thrown
into the
deep end of things. However, Jill being a female of the eighth family, she had more of a soft
spot for her.
And this was how Cindy’s quest for revenge had begun.
“So earlier when you said that most of your goal had been completed, you were talking about
how
nearly all the vampires in the eighth family have now died.” Bryce said, having listened to the
story.
“Correct, but it’s a shame I didn’t take everyone else down with me.” Cindy replied.
“Then answer me this, I understand why Remus had a grudge against the tenth family, but
you could
have still completed your revenge slowly. What made you attempt to frame Quinn and
attack them?
There must have been more to it.” Bryce asked.
“Because I was selfish.” She answered. “Quinn had things that I wanted. He had three
beautiful girls that
I believed needed saving. My goal wasn’t to destroy the whole settlement, but create a new
one where
only females would exist, and the men would have to suffer the same punishment that I
went through,
and only to be used as tools for breeding.” She said with a malicious smile.
Although this was true she hadn’t told the whole truth. The original plan was to do
everything after she
had become Queen. Slowly getting rid of the families and building her secret army but there
were a few
unexpected things that had occurred.
The first one was receiving information from the Bloodsuckers after her father’s passing,
that in the
tenth family there was Dhampir. The very thing that the eighth family had been attempting
to create for
so long, somehow the tenth family had managed to create one, and it was a female of all
things.
Cindy wanted Erin for herself. Becoming Queen, she couldn’t possibly just request that Erin
come over
to her side. She needed Quinn to be out of the picture and out of the way, and to somehow
build trust.
Then what had further escalated her to commit to her plans was the vision the banshee had
told her.
However, Cindy was willing to take the fact that the tenth family had a dhampir with them
to her grave.
‘I don’t know why the eighth family were obsessed with creating a dhampir, but I believe one
day, it
might be the end of all the vampires. I don’t even think Quinn knows what he has on his
hands yet.’
Cindy thought.
“It seems like Jill was telling the truth after all, but it still doesn’t excuse her for her
involvement in
things after the fact, and her continued involvement. Now that the eighth family has been
destroyed
including all of its previous leaders, there aren’t many of them left alive. I will need to decide
what to
do.” Bryce said as he started to walk away from Cindy.
“Wait, where are you going!” Cindy screamed. “You promised you would end my life!”
“Oh did I?” Bryce said, smiling back.
“Aren’t you a man of his word? I thought you were a respectful vampire that followed the
rules and took
pride in things like this!” She argued.
As they left the room, Bryce had one last thing to say to her.
“Cindy, you aren’t the only one that has been keeping up an image in front of others for the
sake of their
goal.” Bryce replied.
My Vampire System Chapter 937: Returning memoires
It seemed like whatever Bryce had to do was finally complete, for he had sent a message to
those in the
tenth castle, to inform him of when Quinn was awake. He had been asleep for two days now,
but his
condition seemed fine and even Leo said there was nothing to worry about.
It was as if Quinn’s body knew his duties for now were over and he could finally rest.
The message stated, after Quinn woke up, they would try to gather all of the leaders still left
to inform
everyone on the council of the decision to be made and agreed upon.
It was a good sign, unlike before where they were doing things and just treating Quinn as an
add on; it
now seemed he was more like a leader. One whose option they valued, or at least now they
respected
his strength, which was a big thing to vampires.
As for the one who came to deliver the message, it was none other than the first Vampire
Knight Kazz.
Before she left though, Silver had called out to her asking for the request she had made
before.
For the past few days Silver had been staying at the tenth castle looking after her brother.
After what
had happened to him, she was a little afraid it might happen again. Lee, her father was
happy for her to
do this as well, and now Kazz had returned and Bryce was done with his tasks she could
finally make her
request again.
“Kazz, you said that Bryce would restore Fex memories the same way he restored yours, are
you able to
do it now? I’m afraid the longer Fex is without them, it might be harder to get them back, or
the more
he will feel lost. I’m sure you understand.” Silver said.
“Sure.” Kazz said, looking at Fex who was standing sheepishly beside her. Although Fex was
getting used
to everyone at the castle, he wasn’t used to everyone knowing things about him that even he
didn’t
know. “I have to warn you, you might not like the solution though but it’s the only one.”
“Anything to get my memories back, please.” Fex said, giving a polite bow to her.
“Your little brother is a cute one, isn’t he.” She said walking over wanting to pinch his cheeks,
but Kazz’s
hand was soon slapped away from Silver on instinct.
“I’m sorry.” Silver replied as if she was shocked by her own actions. “It’s just, after everything
that
happened.”
When leaving the castle, the inner area was quite busy, it looked like the humans that had
been turned
were busy organising something, but they had no clue what. Even Silver didn’t know as she
had been
too busy doting and looking after her brother.
When they had finally reached the north gate of the castle walls they could see thousands of
vampires
outside trying to get in.
“What is going on?’ Silver said.
“I guess you haven’t left the castle?” Kazz stated. “Everyone is waiting to see the person who
saved
them from the attack. They know that the second family was behind things by now. Or at
least their
leader was. Anyway the important thing is they want to see Quinn, or even join the tenth
family.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?” Fex said from what he understood. “I mean I think, there aren’t a
lot of
vampires in the tenth family, so it’s good that now all of these people want to join.”
“Brother, I think that is a mistake. These people only want to join now, which means that
they only care
about themselves. Only after seeing how strong the new tenth leader is and his defences do
they want
to join. Do you think they would be willing to risk their lives for their leader, no they just
want to save
themselves.” Silver explained.
What she said was quite true as well, Kazz noticed. Those standing outside of the gate were
either from
the tenth family pooling area, the few vampires from the eighth family and those from the
second
family.
At the moment, the eighth family and second family were being treated quite poorly by the
other
families due to what happened, while the tenth were now a family not to be messed around
with. They
were hoping by transferring over it could solve some of their problems.
Following Kazz, eventually Silver realised where they were. Standing outside the castle gate
were Royal
Guards stationed all over. They looked like they belonged at the King’s castle, but this wasn’t
the King’s
castle they were at. They were at the second family castle.
The other reason the guards were there was to not allow those from the second family to
escape either.
An investigation was still ongoing to which vampires exactly knew what Cindy was doing.
After all, Silver
had spotted a few of the girls from the inner castle taking the men to the unknown place.
“What are we doing here?” Why would you bring us to such a place?” Silver asked.
“Mine and Fex’s memories weren’t taken away using an influence skill but it was due to the
second
family’s ability. So to get them back, we need to use that ability as well.” Kazz replied.
There were quite a few vampires in the second family that had learned their ability. However,
to get rid
of an ability that a leader had placed, one would need to be even stronger or at least of equal
powers to
Cindy.
When Silver saw her use her powers that day fighting Quinn and the other leaders. Everyone
saw that
Cindy had been hiding the extent of her reversing powers. There were others who even
thought maybe
there was something she could do to help the past King.
Entering the castle, and walking up to the throne room, she quickly found out who was
sitting in the
current second leader’s throne. As soon as she laid eyes on him, Silver bowed down, and so
did the
other two.
“Please you can stand, my family has already caused so much pain for the vampire
settlement. Right
now I don’t feel like I am deserving of your respect.” The man spoke, but he wasn’t any
ordinary man,
and he certainly didn’t look like it either.
The man was dressed in an all white robe, which stood out for a vampire since they often
wore black.
On his right shoulder he had an ancient armour piece that was silver in design with a gold
trim going
along the edges, and finally he had his long black hair tied up, but allowed two long bangs
to go down
the front.
When looking at her with his soft smile, Silver couldn’t believe that Cindy and this man were
related. For
he was the Original vampire of the second family, Tempus Cha.
“Um sir,” Fex said standing up. “I think someone from this family removed my memories and
I was
wondering if you could bring them back.”
Silver, and Kazz couldn’t believe how casually Fex was talking to the man just now, but of
course Fex had
no clue who he was.
The man looked at Fex for a few seconds who was rubbing the back of his head.
“Haha, of course, of course. It was my ability in the first place, so I should be able to remove
it just like I
did with Kazz.”
“Remove it, so I’ll still remember everything that happened right, I won’t forget everything?”
Fex asked,
clenching his fist. He didn’t want to forget what happened. He wanted to remember all the
people from
the tenth family including what his sister had done to help him.
“Of course.” Tempus said, signaling for him to come over with one finger.
When Fex reached Tempus, he placed his hand on top of his head, and it only took a few
seconds and
the whole skill was cancelled allowing him to remember everything again. Immediately,
Fex’s eyes went
wide, before immediately bowing down to the ground.
“I’m so sorry, I’m such an idiot for my words before. Please, please forgive me!” Fex said.
In the background Fex continued to beg, while Silver had her own thoughts watching
everything play
out. If Tempus was here standing now, it meant that the one who had awakened him was
Bryce.
“Does Bryce plan to return him back to his tomb?” Silver asked Kazz who was still by her
side.
“Originally, yes.’ Kazz replied. “But it seems like Tempus doesn’t wish to return to his tomb,
instead he
wants to build up the second family’s name so they are trustworthy again before he leaves.”
Silver didn’t know why, she should be happy that the Original vampires were waking up and
choosing to
stay on their world during her time. However, she had a bad feeling about it all. Maybe it
was because of
her experience with Remus, but she just felt like the generations of vampires were too far
apart, and
their views were sure to clash.
With that said and done, there was only one thing that they needed to wait for, and Quinn
had finally
woken up from his long awaited rest.
My Vampire System Chapter 938: Juicy Rewards
Slowly opening his eyes, Quinn felt the best he had ever felt in a long time. It reminded him
of when he
was a young teenager and, on the weekends, would sleep in until three in the afternoon.
There was no
one to wake him up and nag him anyway like others had. Ever since turning, being thrown
into all of this
mess, it felt like he didn’t even have a single day to rest.
‘I thought life back then was hard, and now look at this.’ Quinn thought.
He realised that he was in a bed, one that he had come to recognise as his own in the Castle.
Although
slightly different as it had been rebuilt after being destroyed from Borden’s and Remus’s
battle. It was
hardly noticeable since all the rooms were quite similar.
A large Victorian style bed, with old furnishings and rugs that had been there for who knew
how many
years.
“You’re finally awake, sleepy head,” Layla said, who was by his side and had the most genuine
smile he
had ever seen. It was clear that she was happy to see him awake.
Knowing that there were now people there for him and that cared for him, it was a reminder
of why he
fought so hard.
“What was that strange dream?” Quinn mumbled as he slowly got up. “I remembered being
back at
school.” He said, touching his head.
“Do you want me to call over the others and tell them you’re awake, or do you want to rest for
a little
longer,” Layla asked, knowing full well that the others would barge in full of excitement if
she told them
the news.
The others were a handful, and if Quinn was half awake, it would be hard for him to handle
them.
“Rest would be good for now. Just give me a little more time.” Quinn said.
Saying this, Layla thought it was best she left as well. Of course, there was a lot Quinn
wanted to know,
but just for a few hours, she didn’t want him to worry about being the leader of the Cursed
family, or
one of the leaders of the human race. She just wanted him to be Quinn.
Just as she was about to shut the door though, He had a few words for her.
“I’m sorry,” Quinn said. “I think I know what happened to Cia. I’m sorry I wasn’t there to save
her.”
Layla turned around and smiled while shaking her head.
“Quinn, you don’t need to apologise anymore. We have been on this journey with you long
enough.
Besides Cia, she died happily. At least, I would like to believe that. And you did everything
you could.
Your towers and the defences you set up. We all survived that day due to your help.
“I think I realised we should start being more thankful for what we have, rather than what
we have lost.”
Closing the door behind her, Quinn was finally left on his own.
He was sitting there in disbelief on his bed, thinking about what he had just been through.
The fight he
had just had trying to remember every single detail.
But what actually had him most exited, were the rewards he was about to receive.
While passing out from exhaustion, Quinn heard several pings go off in his head, and
screens appearing
in front of him, but he was unable to check out exactly what they were.
‘So system, you didn’t think I could beat her? So much so that you didn’t even bother giving
me a quest.
At least it looks like you know when to reward someone when they are in the wrong.’ Quinn
thought
over the moon, ready to open up the notification screens.
[The Tenth family thinks very highly of you]
[The Vampire settlement has learnt of your deeds]
[You have reached the maximum amount of reputation points]
[You can now upgrade your Castle, to ‘Level Two’ in exchange for 50,000 points]
[Do you wish to proceed?]
Seeing all the information pop up in front of him, it was great news. He didn’t know what it
meant by
upgrading his Castle, but if anything cost 50,000 points, undoubtedly it had to be good.
Seeing the temptation in front of him, he couldn’t help but press the button at that
moment.
[Your Castle is now being upgraded to ‘Level two’]
At first, it seemed like nothing was happening, and Quinn wondered if he could see some
changes out of
his window that showed the tenth settlement as a whole. As soon as he got up on his feet.
Rumbling
started, and the whole Castle seemed to be shaking.
‘What is going on, Vincent? What’s happening?’ Quinn asked.
‘I have no idea. Your system’s ability has gone beyond whatever I was capable of. It’s far too
advanced.’
Although Vincent didn’t say it, he was kind of jealous and wished he had the system when
he was still
alive. He would have loved to experiment in so many different ways to fully understand the
system.
Finally, the rumbling had stopped, and Quinn immediately rushed out to see if there had
been any grand
changes. The first he spotted was at the very edge of the inner castle area. All of the walls
were larger
and thicker than they once were.
The jagged black rock the wall’s used to be made off was no more, and now the black
material looked to
have been turned into large smooth stones. Fitting for a real castle wall. It also was twice as
high and
nearly twice as thick.
If anyone was thinking of attacking the family, they were sure to have trouble now. Checking
the system
out as well, he now could see that the wall had a health bar and a reputation cost to repair it.
‘I wonder how strong that wall is?’ Quinn thought.
What Quinn failed to realise more than anything was the amount of attention this was
having on the
vampires in the settlement. It was sure to grab the attention of the other families as well. In a
few
seconds, grand changes had been made to the castle walls, and it stood out compared to the
rest, even
the King’s Castle.
What Quinn also didn’t know was that the Castle itself had changed as well. Like the walls,
the Castle’s
material was now made in the same style, and it looked to have even grown slightly in size.
Quinn could already hear everyone in the Castle making a commotion from the others
inside.
‘Oh, this is going to be a headache and a half. I better check if there was anything else as
well.’ Quinn
thought.
Scrolling down through the notifications, there was still more to come.
[It is sorry for doubting you]
[Reward +10 levels]
[You are now level 51]
[Ten stat points have been received]
Seeing this, Quinn decided to use his stat points. He didn’t know what trouble he might get
into around
the corner. Looking at his stats, he realised that he quite enjoyed being a balanced fighter.
Each stat was essential to him, Although lately, the charm skill seemed useless. It was strong
enough to
influence most humans and weak vampires, but now with the type of opponents, he was
facing. It was
nearly impossible to attempt to control them.
After putting in the stat points as he wished they now were as follows:
[Strength 70]
[Agility 65]
[Charm 60]
These stats were without Quinn wearing any beats equipment. He decided to put his
strength stat at the
next stage since it was already the closest, and Quinn always saw the most significant jump
every ten
stat points.
Although, the higher the stat points, the less noticeable it was now.
[You have witnessed the use of Great blood control]
[Your knowledge of blood control has increased]
[You know have 50 points in blood control]
The good news seemed to keep on coming. The ten levels were the biggest increase Quinn
had ever
received, and he thought these were the best rewards he had gotten as well. He wanted to
jump up and
down in excitement, but at the same time, he just felt like it was embarrassing to do so.
‘You deserve it, Quinn. That was a battle I don’t think many would have been able to survive.
Some
might have said you were lucky to receive this system.’ Vincent then cleared his throat as he
was one of
those people. ‘However, I know that even if others were put in your situation, they wouldn’t
have
achieved the same result, and I believe the system thinks the same.’
Hearing these words from Vincent of all people, for some reason, it made him feel the
proudest.
“Thanks…Grandpa.” Quinn jokingly said once more.
It was the end of the rewards for Quinn, but not the end of the messages, for there was one
more, and
this one was a new quest. He was quite surprised at this since he believed after getting the
‘Become the
vampire king’ Quest, he wouldn’t receive anything after, or at least until he had completed
it.
[New Quest received]
[You have surpassed level fifty]
[The strength inside you is growing, and something is starting to emerge, but what is it?]
[Find out what lies beyond that of a Vampire lord?]
[Quest requirements: ????]
[Quest reward: ????]
My Vampire System Chapter 939: Answer them
Looking at the message that had appeared in front of him, Quinn was trying to figure out
what the quest
exactly was. The requirements for completing the quest weren’t clear and had been blanked
out with
question marks. Meaning Quinn didn’t really know how to complete it, but by the wording
of the quest
given, it was clearly alluding to something.
‘Is it saying there is another evolution?’ Quinn wondered. ‘Is there an evolution past that of a
vampire
lord?’
This was the only thing he could think of as to what the system was getting at, but if there
was another
evolution then when would it be unlocked? He had already reached level fifty and he wasn’t
even sure if
there was a level cap like there would be in games. 60, 80 maybe not until he reached level a
hundred
he would complete the quest.
‘To my knowledge no. All the leaders, or at least all the current leaders during my time and
yours are at
the lord level. Although the Original vampires might be a bit different, they were born the
way they
were and don’t go through an evolution like yourself and the others.’ Vincent answered.
With no clue what the requirements were though, Quinn would have to put it in the back of
his head for
now.
‘I wish the system could just stop playing games with me and be a little more upfront with
me
sometimes.’ Quinn sighed.
‘Well, that would defeat the mystery of the game after all. Remember the whole system was
based on a
game in the first place.’ Vincent answered.
Just seconds after, the door swung open and a group of people were excitedly rushing
through the door
to see him. It looked like when they saw the change in the castle and walls, they all knew
there was only
one person possible for such a thing.
“Quinn!” Some of them shouted, rushing over giving him hugs, cheers and slaps on the
back.
“It’s good to see you all again as well.” Quinn said.
“Well what a surprise.” Sam said. “It looks like the one that clocked onto everything from the
beginning
was Peter.”
Everyone turned to Peter who was in the room. He was leaning up against the wall at the
very back with
his arms crossed.
“I told you I had a bad feeling about her, maybe you guys should trust me a bit more.” Peter
said.
“Didn’t he think Xander was a bad person when he first met him as well?” Timmy whispered
over to
Amy.
“Well, maybe he’s not wrong.” She teased, and the others who had overheard all started to
laugh.
“I’m sorry to ruin this happy moment.” Paul said breaking through and walking over to
where Quinn
was. “But there are some important matters we need to deal with. I’ve sent a report to the
King that you
are now awake as he requested, but before that, I really think we should deal with the
matters outside.”
“Outside?” Quinn said, confused at what Paul was going on about.
After some explaining, Paul told Quinn about those that now wished to join the tenth
families and how
many wanted to see who had saved the vampires.
“I didn’t know what you wanted to do, but there is one thing for sure, we are certainly
lacking people.
Therefore while you were asleep, I started to organise them into certain groups. I had people
test them
on a number of things and categorised them, based on their skills.” Paul started to explain.
“Wait, categorised based on their skills, do you mean like strength and fighting ability?”
Quinn asked,
and Paul didn’t say a word after. “Don’t Paul, don’t do it. You’re acting like you’re in the
military again. I
have to admit your way has had its uses and I have come to understand why the military did
the things
the way they did, but I do not want to do what they did.
“I want you to make a new list. Take a look at those that have been in the tenth family
pooling area the
longest. Bring them in first, then I want you to make a list of skills they are capable of or best
at. I want
you to find out what they are talented at and then find a use for their talent. Those that
aren’t good at
fighting won’t just be chucked aside.
“I want you to work closely with Timmy, he came up with a good reward system before, but I
want these
people to be rewarded for helping, and their loyalty to the tenth family. Is that okay?”
Paul paused for a second, and looked at the table of information in his hand. He then
swiped the
information off the screen and started a whole new one.
“You’re the leader Quinn, not me. I will do as you say, but I will make a suggestion. The
momentum is in
your favour now. You should go and answer those wishes, and let the people see who saved
them. You
deserve that much.” Paul said.
The reason why Quinn wasn’t so quick to take up this idea was because Quinn had decided
already that
he wanted to leave this place. He felt a little strange helping them and doing all these duties
when he
wasn’t going to be here much longer.
‘Do I take them back to the Cursed ship with me?’ Quinn wondered.
‘I think just like you see Earth as your home, these vampires see this place as their home as
well. There
will be many that do not want to leave Quinn.’ Vincent explained. ‘On top of that, would the
vampires
allow you to take that many with you? It would mean exposing their secret. Perhaps this is
something
you could discuss with Bryce but I don’t think the humans are ready to know of the
vampire’s existence
just yet.’
Honestly, Quinn couldn’t agree more. Although Quinn did think humans could live along
with vampires it
would be a learning curve and take time. On top of this, right now the humans were on their
toes,
waiting for the Dalki to attack at any moment.
Perhaps once the Dalki threat was over, Quinn could attempt to do what Arthur had failed
at.
“Come on then, let’s go see everyone.” Quinn said.
When leaving the castle, there were two more people waiting for him at the castle door. One
of them
Leo, his other Vampire Knight, and the other Peter.
“I understand why Leo is coming with us, because we should go out as the three of us, but
why is Peter
here?” Quinn asked.
“It seems that some of the people are also here to see Peter as well. He saved quite a bit of
people while
you were off fighting.”
Walking through the inner castle area, Quinn could already hear the crowd of people talking.
He had
never heard the tenth area be so noisy before and with his super hearing he could hear and
pick out
certain sentences.
“I still can’t believe how the tenth has been able to grow so quickly.”
“Everything changed when they announced their new leader. I didn’t think much of him at
first.”
“I always knew he was special, the tenth in the past always created great inventions that
changed the
vampire’s lives and look at what he is making for his people now.”
“Then shouldn’t the tenth leader not be so selfish, he should share them with the other
families?”
“After the other families attacked him, if he keeps everything for himself then so be it, I
don’t blame
him. It’s clear the new leader cares for all his people which is why he’s built so much to
protect them.”
‘These people, they rely on a leader.’
“Look, that’s him, he’s finally here everyone!” One person shouted, and they soon all started
to shout
and cheer seeing Quinn. There were far more vampires than Quinn had expected and every
single one
was there for him.
The Royal Guard made sure no one was to get through the front gate, and the vampires
made sure to
listen, but they continued to move their heads to get a look at the leader. Some of them
hadn’t even
bothered to care to burn in the memory of the tenth leader when they had first seen him at
the
ceremony, so they didn’t even know what Quinn really looked like.
Seeing the commotion, Quinn jumped up using his strength to the top of the wall in one go,
and soon
Peter, Leo and Paul followed him. The four of them stood there looking down at all the
vampires.
“Thank you for protecting us!”
“It’s the Wight, the Wight that saved you, look!” A mother said, pointing upward towards
Peter.
‘Do you still think you can just up and leave this place?’ Vincent said. ‘You remember, you
promised me
and said you would look after them, Quinn. You now have a connection with them.’
Vincent was right, Quinn had already promised to protect those in the tenth, but now other
vampires
also wanted his help, not just those from the tenth anymore.
‘What am I meant to do now?’
My Vampire System Chapter 940: Paul's Goal
After looking at all the people from the top of the castle wall, he could see everyone. They
looked back
at him as if they were expecting some type of grand speech, but he didn’t really have one for
them, nor
was he expecting this in the first place.
They all thought he had saved the vampire race, protected them. When in reality, he was
just protecting
his friends and wanted to leave this place.
He then looked back at his own castle and started to look at the others in comparison. The
towers, the
upgraded walls and the castle itself. There was a huge difference now, and so much had
changed in a
short amount of time.
The last time he had come here, the castle was untouched, abandoned, and hadn’t been
worked on.
‘Are they really here for me?’ Quinn wondered and soon jumped back off without saying a
word to any
of them. He didn’t know if this would be better for his position or not, but seeing what had
happened,
seeing them. He now had a better idea of what he wanted to do.
“The tenth leader has asked me to do a few things. If you wish to join the tenth family, then
you should
comply with the following rules…” Paul continued on giving the vampires a set of
instructions. All of
what Paul was doing, was based on what Quinn had requested from before. Soon they
began to let in
vampires slowly into the castle walls.
Through talking to the vampires, Paul found out that there were quite a few of those that
had been in
the tenth family for a while, and their reasons for staying and wanting to join were quite
similar. They
had respect for Quinn ever since he had gotten in power.
Many of those in the tenth family were criticised, and the other families used their powers to
abuse
them. Similar to what Timmy had gone through at school. Because of Quinn’s request,
before he had
been accused of killing Dwight, the tenth family were already seeing improvements in their
lives.
They thought that the new tenth leader was someone who actually cared for the family.
Enough to even
return to this place and come here when he didn’t have to.
They didn’t realise that Quinn had made that rule more so he would receive prisoners from
the other
families. In hopes to improve his own power. There was a selfish reason behind it, but it had
done good
in the process.
As things were rolling into place, Quinn noticed that there had been a summon. For the first
time in a
while, there was a voice, a message that had been sent in his head.
“This is a message from King Bryce. All leaders are to come to the King’s castle along with
their fellow
Knights in the next two hours. All leaders must attend.”
The voice responsible for sending the message, was from Jill. It didn’t sound the same as she
usually did.
When delivering this message, it was far more monotone and spoken as if Jill had lost all
hope.
Quite frankly, Quinn was surprised that she was still being used to send messages after what
had
happened.
Due to the message that had been sent, Quinn also called Paul and Leo back to the castle as
well, as
Quinn wanted to have his own meeting with all the others. Paul left the task he had
assigned his men to
Ashley, and they were off.
Due to Paul’s background, he was great at getting things done and was extremely organised
and
efficient. He made it so whatever plan needed to be implemented could be done quickly and
run like
clockwork.
He only needed a piece to replace him in the clock with him away, and it could continue on
working.
Finally, in the usual grand dining room that looked like it could seat around thirty or so
people. Everyone
that Quinn was close to had gathered. He deemed it important to him and those that were
part of the
Cursed ship.
“You might be wondering why I asked you all to come, but I have been summoned to the
King’s castle
for a talk. It’s what we’ve been waiting for, or at least I have been waiting for.” Quinn said.
“I’ll be blunt.
I’m going to ask if we can leave this place. Although ask isn’t really the right word, I’m going
to make it
clear that I’m leaving this place, but I see that there is a lot to be done here, and there are
those that
care about this world.” Quinn then looked at Timmy, Xander and Amy, who were originally
from the
vampire world. “I’m going to ask for a way, where I am still part of this crazy vampire ruling,
but I have
more freedom to come and go as I wish.”
“From what I have seen outside, I realised that the position I’m in might be a lot better than
we thought,
and I can use this to my advantage. Honestly, asking just for permission to leave would be
too simple for
what we have done and what we have suffered through. I came to realise I have only been
thinking
about myself, acting on everyone’s behalf without actually asking what you guys wanted. So
I want you
guys to tell me now, is there anything you need or would like to ask for?”
It came as quite a surprise. For one, they weren’t sure Bryce was going to accept Quinn’s
request, and
now Quinn wanted to ask the King for more, but for those that were able to see deeper than
the
surface, they realised that Quinn noticed the power of the vampires. The power of the
people.
Using them, and his ‘good deed’ Bryce didn’t have much choice. What could he do if he
refused his
request, and Quinn decided to leave anyway? Attack the family, attempt to attack Quinn? It
simply
wouldn’t go well and cause another war.
The first to speak and wasn’t shy about asking for something, was Logan. He raised his good
hand up
before speaking. “Can I request we keep the blood crystals we obtained from the eighth
family attack?
I’m sure when things settle down, they will ask for them back, but they are quite useful to
power certain
items and even my own. I would like to do more research if possible that would help us out a
lot. I
believe the vampires have deemed this as an illegal item.”
“I think that will be fine,” Quinn replied and looked at his seared off arm. “Do you want me
to see if they
have someone that can get your arm back, or maybe a new one? They should have those in
the second
family that might be able to do something.”
Even though Quinn said this, he didn’t really want to be sending another one of his friends
off to the
second family. If Logan did go through anything, this time Quinn would be right there
beside them.
“Don’t worry, I don’t see having fewer human parts as a bad thing for me. I can still use my
ability just as
well. Besides, I have other plans for this.” He said, raising his stump. “If you get us back to
the human
world. I can work on something straight away.”
Soon after, Logan started to mumble to himself, and had a slight smirk as he was thinking of
the
creations he could come up with.
Quinn looked around the room to see if there was anyone else, but all they really wanted
was to go
home. There wasn’t anything that the vampires could give them that they wanted other than
that, until
Paul had raised his arm as well.
“I would like to make an offer, and also a request as well,” Paul said. “I have spoken with my
people
before this, so do not think I am talking on their behalf when I say this. Like before, I would
assume that
if they do accept your request to leave, they will want you to leave someone behind.
“This is also good for us as we can keep an eye on things here. My people and I would like to
be the ones
left behind to look after this place.”
According to the rules stated last time. Quinn had to leave a vampire knight behind. He had
taken Paul
with him last time due to them heading back to the second military base. It was unknown to
them at the
time the condition of the base.
However, now with Quinn’s position in the human race, there was no need for Paul to be by
his side any
longer. Quinn knew that Leo wanted to do things as well. And felt a little bad for keeping
him here.
Honestly, Quinn hadn’t planned to leave any of the main group behind, but if Paul did
request and
wanted to, he wouldn’t stop him.
“I see. Paul, I know you would only do this with the interest of your people, so what is it that
you
request?” Quinn asked.
“When you’re in the meeting, Quinn. I want you to ask them, If there is a cure. A way to turn
a vampire
back into a human.”My Vampire 941
My Vampire System Chapter 941: An old castle down, a new one in its place
Finally, the time for the meeting had come, and the three from the tenth family that were
due to attend
were on their way. In order to avoid the commotion outside and being spotted by the other
vampires,
Quinn had decided to use his shadow travel and brought along both Leo and Paul as asked.
While using the shadow travel, Quinn noticed that he no longer felt like his MC points were
draining. It
was as if a specific part of his body no longer got tired when using it.
‘So this is what having over a thousand MC points feels like?’ Quinn thought. One of his
main problems
with using the shadow ability was how much MC each skill would use, it seemed to be more
taxing
compared to other abilities, but now Quinn could finally use his skills in more ways without
having to
worry.
While on the way there, Quinn’s mind started to wander and focus on something else. It was
the
question Paul had asked not too long ago.
‘About Paul’s request, it should be possible, right?’ Quinn asked. This was something Quinn
had never
really thought about himself, but it must have been natural for those who had been turned
unwillingly
to want to be turned back.
However, for Quinn, it was a new power, he always treated it like an ability and it was
because he had
become a vampire his whole life had changed. It was now a part of him. What used to be
problems and
difficulties were no longer there. Although he did miss the taste of normal food now and
then.
‘What makes you think that?’ Vincent replied.
‘When I lived your life, you placed your powers away in that book, you used your ability so
you could
become human and live with….’ Quinn stopped there as he realised that talking about old
memories
may have not been the best or politest thing to do. It felt natural for Quinn because he had
lived
Vincent’s life.
At the end of the day, Vincent never told him these things, and the two of them had never
directly
talked about Vincent’s past before.
‘That was due to my ability, the equivalent exchange ability. This is something that you don’t
have,
Quinn. Perhaps there would have been something that could have been done, if I was still
alive.’ Vincent
replied.
‘Yes, but there are others with the same ability, remember. Some that are still out there even
now.’
Quinn replied, referring to the possibility of the original leader Richard Eno, and Jim. ‘So
apart from that,
is there any other way? After thousands of years, did they never figure something out.’
Quinn didn’t hear from Vincent for a while, as he must have been thinking of something,
and he
eventually replied.
‘Not that I know of, I’m not saying it’s impossible. I’m just saying even when I was alive there
was no
research put towards such a thing. Even Vampires that think they must protect humans see
themselves
above them, so why would they ever want to become one of them?’
‘But you did.’ Quinn replied.
‘I know, but I was certainly a special case. When I decided to, I used what tools I had
available at the
time. Anyway, my point is, there hasn’t been any research done, which is why I said not that
I know of.
Perhaps after my time someone has done something. I’ll be honest there is one family that
might know
the answer. The second family.”
It was an unexpected answer for Quinn.
‘Did you remember when Leo told you about the subclasses that they found. What interests
me is how
they even created such subclasses? There are only two ways to create a subclass. Either be
born, this
means one of their parents would have needed to be a subclass, or the second, is to turn a
human. They
had far too many subclasses for me to believe that they were born.’
Vincent certainly had a point, and it was something Quinn had never thought of before. But
with Cindy
dead, who was there to ask? Still, he had made a promise and he would certainly pop the
question.
Arriving at the King’s castle the normal checks had been done, and it was time for the three
of them to
be led on inside.
‘Well, at least the guards aren’t acting strange like last time. Were some of them working for
Cindy, or
was it something else?’ Quinn wondered.
As Quinn entered the castle doors, he prepared himself. His plan was to make it so his group
could leave
this world without fighting if possible, but in the back of his mind he had to prepare for
quite the
confrontation.
When Quinn finally arrived, the large wide doors were opened and the usual council room
could be
seen, although what he hated was the fact that it seemed like everyone was already there
before him,
and he was once again the center of attention.
‘Why is it, every time I come here, they look at me?’
Although this time, it was for a different reason. Those that were there and had seen Quinn
fight. They
were reminded of his power and those who weren’t had heard what he had done. Somehow
a leader
was able to go toe to toe with one that had the absolute blood power.
In a way, some of them felt fear, as they believed that this might be the coming of a second
Arthur.
As Quinn walked past his seat, and his two knights stood by his side. He realised that there
were some
new faces in the room, and not just that, but Jill was not sitting in her seat. Instead she was
standing by
Bryce’s side, her hands kept together, her back straight.
Following Quinn behind, Leo’s attention wasn’t focused on the same thing as Quinn.
Instead, he was
feeling all the different energies in the room, and there was one in the room that was slightly
different
from the rest.
A detail that only his ability could pick up, and even Quinn with his Qi control might not
have noticed.
‘The man, in the second seat? Is he like the one from before?’ Leo thought. The person he
was talking
about was the original vampire Tempus.
“Now that the tenth leader has finally arrived we can begin this meeting.” Bryce said, hitting
his new
cane on the floor once. A habit of his when he was leader but now he could do it even more
so as King.
“There are many things that we are to discuss on the agenda, and I will go through them all.
Once I have
spoken the council table will be open for discussion about certain topics. I hope the recent
events
haven’t made us forget what the courtesy and rules are in the council room.”
The others nodded, including Quinn.
For some reason, he thought he would have felt nervous, but right now, Quinn was feeling
quite calm.
He was reminded of the first time he had come into the council room, how big everyone
looked and the
energy pouring out of them. Now though, he didn’t feel afraid of them.
His calm demeanour also didn’t go unnoticed, and it was putting the leaders next to him a
little at
unease.
“First I would like to introduce you to the new leaders that you see around you. First of all,
we should all
pay our respects to the new second Leader, Tempus Cha.” When introducing him, even
Bryce bowed
down which Quinn thought was strange.
‘Quinn, that’s another original!’ Vincent said.
Still, Quinn didn’t act as if he was surprised. He knew something was up when he entered
the room.
There were only three people that were completely calm, their heartbeat beating as if it was
just any
other day.
These people were, Quinn himself, Bryce and finally Tempus.
“Tempus is the new second family leader, and he said he will do everything he can to build
up the
second family and right the wrongs his family has committed.” Bryce continued to explain.
Standing up, the others gave the most respectful bow, nearly lacing their heads on the table
in front of
them. They could possibly do, and for now Quinn followed along.
“Next we have the new leaders replacing the seats that have been vacant for a while. From
the seventh
family, we have new Leader, Harlu Dawn.” When his name was announced the young man
stood up.
“After that, we have replacing the new twelfth leader, Kim Killton.”
This time, a female vampire stood up, who had quite the baby face. As she had smooth
chubby cheeks
and wore quite young clothing. It was quite clear to Quinn which vampires were from a new
generation
and which were from an old.
It seemed like Leaders were a thing hardly replaced. Even if their face remained young their
fashion
sense stayed the same.
The new leaders gave a little speech stating what they planned to do to improve the family,
and a little
bit about their background, but what Quinn was concerned about was that no one stood by
the eighth
seat, where Jill should have been.
“As you may have noticed, the eighth seat is empty, and Jill is standing by my side. Now that
all the past
leaders no longer exist, including the original, we have decided that there will no longer be
an eighth
family anymore. The Original leader has betrayed the vampire settlement and I believe they
no longer
deserve to be a part of the council. This is the punishment the eighth family must bear.”
Hearing this, the room was a little unsettled by the design.
“Moving on, the next agenda I would like to talk about, is bringing back the fourteenth
castle.”
My Vampire System Chapter 942: Revote the king!
There had been a lot of things that Bryce seemed to have skimmed over, not giving many
details about,
and it left all the leaders with great confusion. For one, Bryce was already taking up the role
of King
pretty well, even though there were some that didn’t really agree with that either, but as he
stated at
the beginning, they would let him finish before he opens up a discussion.
“Since there is one less family, I think bringing back the Fourteenth family will strengthen
us once again.
On top of this, the Punishers, whether I want to admit it or not, kept the vampires of the
past in line.
“In a way, too much control is now given to the families and those in the inner castle under
them.
Before, we didn’t have anyone strong enough to take the role of the one that was lost, but
now we do.”
Bryce said, looking towards Quinn.
Hearing those words, Quinn wanted to pinch himself.
‘Did Bryce really just say that? Was he giving me a compliment?’ A shiver ran down his spine
hearing
those words and Tempus was now looking his way as if he was trying to judge Quinn based
on his
appearance.
Tempus had been caught up on the details, but since he hadn’t been awake for long, he had
no clue
about the current strength of this generation of vampires. So what if Quinn was able to
defeat his
bloodline, to him that could have meant nothing.
“Now that we have gone through with all the agendas, we may proceed with opening up the
council
floor for discussion.” Bryce stated, and immediately there were a few hands that were raised,
but the
one who was quickest and most outspoken was Muka.
“Your Majesty, I have been fine with you running things for the time being, and I admit you
did well
looking into the things with Cindy and resolving this whole mess. However, don’t you think
a revote
should be cast for the next in line?
“Back then, the Tenth leader never got a vote, with everything that happened with Cindy, for
the next
candidate shouldn’t we open up the voting once again? And what of the blooding ceremony,
what
happened to that?” Muka suggested.
Usually, the other leaders would expect Bryce to be angered by these comments, but he
seemed to
remain calm as he replied.
“I partially agree with your suggestion. Due to what Cindy had done and from what we have
learnt, she
should have never been made a candidate in the first place. Let’s say then all those that had
voted for
her are now void. We can even include Jill here, before we found out that the two of them
were
cooperating.
“If that were to be the case, wouldn’t that mean the outcome would be the same? Unless you
and Jin
planned to vote for someone else? Allow me to put out another suggestion, say we do have a
revote to
start over and undo what has already been done. What would the people think? The
ceremony has
already taken place and I think it would weaken our resolve. Lately, is there another
candidate here, at
least one you could all agree on? If I’m honest, I think I am still the best candidate here but
if anyone
doesn’t believe so, or if there is anyone else that would like to rise up to the task please feel
free to
speak up.”
The pressure coming off Bryce as he asked this question was menacing, and that’s when
Muka realised.
The reason Bryce was so confident was because he had already taken the blood powers away
from
Cindy.
Knowing Bryce, he already had an answer for all of this, and he was right. If there was a
revote even
those against Bryce couldn’t all come up with a candidate that they could agree one. Those
that
supported Bryce seemed like they still did, and those against him had their trust broken
from a previous
leader.
Muka started to look towards the new Second leader, perhaps an original could win them
over.
However, Muka had no clue what this man was like, and they could just be digging another
hole like
they had done with Cindy.
The people wouldn’t like that a Second family member, even if it was an original, were to
become King
after what had happened. Lastly, Muka looked at Quinn of all people.
‘Maybe, maybe after what has happened the others would vote for him?’ This thought
quickly left
Muka’s mind. Even after what Quinn had done, he hadn’t been with the vampires long. If he
ever was
elected, Muka was sure the vampires would rise up and try to challenge his position. The one
most
against the idea was probably Bryce.
‘Is that why he is suggesting bringing the Punishers back, so Quinn can’t become a
candidate for the
position?’
Although Muka didn’t want Bryce to become King, he didn’t want to cause a war either. He
just wanted
what was best for the people. Also, now that Bryce has the blood book, if it came to a duel it
would be a
tough fight for anyone to beat him, including Quinn.
“You are correct, your majesty, the people also already know you as King and it might be best
this way.
They need to focus on everything. Speaking of what will happen to the First family, you have
mentioned
other leaders that have been replaced but not your own family.
“You can’t possibly split your focus on the two things.”
“You are correct.” Bryce replied. “However, Nicu who I have been nurturing to be the next
leader is a
little too young at the moment and naive. For now, I will let Kazz take over duties while I try
to find a
replacement. It is not too much of an urgent matter.” Bryce stated.
The next to ask a question was Sunny.
“While I do think that the Eighth family should be punished, is there really a need for them
to be
removed from the council? There are still vampires that are loyal to them.” Sunny asked.
“Jill is no longer who she was.” Bryce answered back immediately. “All the past leaders are
dead,
including the one that they all originally stemmed from. Honestly at this point, there isn’t
much we can
do, they would be unable to function as a family that could support the vampire settlement.
“Jill’s ability has always been helpful, which is why she will continue to pass it down, and her
family
genes shall now be used as one will always assist the King or Queen with their tasks. Now we
all should
have a better line of communication with each other.”
With the initial arguments sorted, Quinn felt like it was now his turn to question Bryce.
“What did you mean by bringing back the Fourteenth castle, what do you want from me
Bryce?” Quinn
asked in a calm voice, and it didn’t sound like he was asking a question to someone of higher
authority,
it was more like Quinn was annoyed for putting him in such a situation.
‘This boy, who is he to talk to the King like this?’ Tempus thought as he smiled and was
enjoying the
current show.
“I explained this earlier, you are the strongest Shadow user belonging to the vampire
settlement and we
believe you have been teaching some of those in your family the Shadow skill. You will have
a lot of
resources at your disposal. You would have to find a replacement for the Tenth family, but it
seems
there are quite a lot of strong ones in the Tenth family.” Said Bryce.
Thinking about the advantages, Quinn would be delivered a number of vampires to him,
allowing him to
use the shadow eater skill and improve them, but beyond this, he just felt like a puppet
working for
Bryce.
“Bryce, I told you back then and I’m telling you now again. I have nothing to do with the
vampire
settlement and I will be leaving. I came to this meeting hoping to ask you for a few favours
but I see that
me having saved all of you means nothing.” Quinn said, ready to fight back.
My Vampire System Chapter 943: Deciding vote
Once Quinn had finished his turn speaking, the room was deathly silent. So much so that
one could even
hear the draft coming in through the small gap under the door. No one moved an inch, no
shuffling of
the feet or anything for fear it would make some noise.
The reason why? It was because of the words and tone that Quinn had used when speaking
to the
Vampire King. Bryce was a man that was well respected even before he had become King.
The leaders
like Muka who disliked him, even they had always respected him as the First leader.
He was organised, strong, and cared for the vampire settlement. Now that he was King,
respect wasn’t
just expected but demanded. Some would even go as far to say that Bryce had earned the
respect by
being elected for the position.
But with Quinn, there were no fluff words like ‘your Majesty’ or beating around the bush.
He was direct,
to the point where Quinn may have come across as arrogant by speaking as if he was above
him.
No words were spoken yet, the leaders had remained silent in shock with no idea how to
break the
awkward tension. They didn’t want to set off anyone’s anger at this moment, until finally
Quinn was the
one who had broken the silence himself.
“Bryce, remember you owe me, and more than once now.” Quinn stated. “At least the people
standing
outside my castle know how to be grateful for what I have done. All I am asking is for you to
do the
same.”
It was clear by the way Quinn was talking, the two of them had more history then the other
leaders
knew about. From Quinn’s words they could gather that he wasn’t just talking about what
happened
with Cindy.
Bryce sighed in resignation. “Very well. You are right. We accused you wrongfully and even
then you
were the one who got rid of the biggest threat to us. We still haven’t even rewarded you for
your efforts
due to everything that is going on. What is your request?” Bryce asked.
Quinn was one step closer, but not the whole way, for now Bryce would have to hear him out,
whether
he would accept it or not was a different story.
“Whether I was forced into this position or not, I am the current leader of the Tenth family.
The Tenth
family, not the Fourteenth. It was by chance that I had got that power and my role was never
to be a
Punisher.
“At the end of the day, I can’t let go of my past either or those I care about. I was originally a
human and
just like this place is your home, for myself, the humans, and everyone with me, Earth is
their home. I
want to request the freedom for me and my people to move between the Tenth castle and
the Cursed
ship as we wish.
“The other castles already have teleporters linked to Earth, so I see that there should be no
issue if we
link one to the Cursed ship my group has created. I won’t be taking all of the Tenth vampires
with me,
but just those close to me and who wish to go to Earth. However, like I said, I won’t abide by
my
position.
“If my people need me, if you need to call me for duties that those left behind can’t handle
to do with
the Tenth family, then you can call me. I think this is quite fair.
“And I have on more requests.” Quinn said, turning to Paul. “I want to know if there is a way
to turn a
vampire that has been turned, back into a human. Even if you don’t know of one, if there is
any research
that I can look into, it would be appreciated.”
For now, Quinn thought there was no need to mention about Paul and his men wanting to
turn back,
and just would let them know he was looking for a cure. They might even think he was
looking for one
himself this way.
Although Bryce was allowing Quinn to speak to him the way he did so, the other vampires
didn’t like it
at all, and now after hearing his request they couldn’t take it anymore.
“Have you gone mad?” Prima shouted. “Just because you have gained a little power you think
you can
trample over the whole council with your request! What you’re asking for is basically to
disappear and
do what you want in the human world, while still keeping a title here in the vampire world.”
“Let me correct you.” Quinn said, staring right at Prima. “I don’t care about the title and I
don’t care
about the council. The only thing I care about is protecting those from the Tenth, because it
seems like
all the other leaders have something against them. However I won’t force them to leave their
home in
order to protect them. I am leaving this place, but I was also thinking about the vampires,
something
you guys should do more of rather than just thinking about your own families.”
Prima was enraged and went to reach for his rapier by his side, but Quinn’s eyes were already
glowing
red and Bryce had raised his hand to stop the tension.
“You are a Royal Knight Prima, and you can’t act rashly like you just did right now. If you
attacked, then
Quinn would have had every right to defend himself.” Bryce stated. “Firstly to address your
requests, I
do not think there is any trouble giving you access to our research facilities and library,
including the
King’s library which has books that have been scrapped.
“Although the Tenth family are the ones that have the most research and skills to deal with
this. So I
would expect that there won’t be much you can find there. This will be your reward for
saving the
settlement, as for your first request it is something we have never allowed before, so we shall
deal with
this the same way we deal with problems undecided in the council room and we shall put it
to a vote. All
those that think Quinn’s request is reasonable and he should be granted those privileges
please raise
your hand.”
Quinn had predicted that it might come to a vote, but if it did he was unsure what the
outcome would
be. He just hoped it was in their favour, otherwise there was a lot of convincing he would
need to do.
Muka, Jin, and Lee were the first to raise their hands for Quinn. They owed Quinn a lot for
what he had
done. Jin and Muka felt like if they hadn’t taken his advice and not voted for Bryce they
would have
been in a far worse situation.
The next to raise their hand was Sunny. A lot of her people had been saved thanks to Peter,
on top of
this Leo and Borden dealing with Remus made it so her people could live. She saw the
fighting first hand
and thought her family would have suffered the most losses if Remus hadn’t been dealt with.
The next one to raise their hand superseded them the most, as it was the new Second leader,
Tempus.
“I like the kid.” Tempus said. “Besides, he was the one that purged the evil from my family.
He clearly
doesn’t want to be here, what is the point of stopping someone from leaving who wants to go?
They will
find a way out even without permission.”
This meant there were now five votes in favour for Quinn’s request being accepted. With Jill
no longer
being a leader, it also meant those against were the new leaders, Kim and Harlu, along with
Suzan,
Muscat, and David.
“A tie breaker?” Kyle mumbled.
If it was a tie, Quinn wondered what would happen. Would he have to fight some of the
leaders to
prove his strength like when the royalty were to be selected, or would it default and there
was a
majority rule in place? Also, didn’t Quinn’s own vote count?
“Not quite.” Bryce interrupted. “Usually when there is a tie then the final vote lies with the
King, at the
same time, there isn’t a current leader for the First family and I am still part of this role. My
final vote
goes in favour of Quinn’s request.”
It was safe to say, Quinn was gobsmacked. For some reason Bryce was on Quinn’s side.
‘First wanting me to become a Punisher and now this, what is he up to?’ Quinn couldn’t help
but think.
My Vampire System Chapter 944: A warning to you all
Finally, after everything Quinn had been through, everything he had done. It felt like for the
first time,
things were going his way. Although, he still felt like Bryce was up to something, because at
this point it
felt like he couldn’t trust any of the vampires after what had happened. Just like Dwight had
warned
him. In the end, he did get everything he had requested.
‘It looks like we can finally get ba-‘ Quinn thought as he was about to slump back into his
chair, but of
course, there had to be an outburst.
“This shouldn’t be something that should have even been voted on!” Suzan complained.
“How can a
leader have so much freedom compared to the other leaders? Shouldn’t we all be treated as
equals? We
didn’t even bring up anything about the changes he had made to his castle and castle walls.”
Due to the many concerns that the leaders had from Bryce’s announcements, they had
forgotten about
this matter, and it was something each of them would like to discuss as well.
“First off, Quinn as someone who has protected this settlement does now have special rights,
without
him most of us, if not all of us would be dead.” Bryce stated. “The council and you arguing,
wouldn’t
even exist. Just as Tempus said as well, even if we wanted him to stay, clearly Quinn does not,
but if you
wish to stop him, then go right ahead.”
Thinking about this, Suzan knew she wouldn’t be able to match up to Quinn. Maybe
through a surprise
attack of some sort if she could get a few needles in, but not in a duel where he was prepared.
His
shadow skills were just too strong.
Reluctantly, she had to give up.
“I will speak to all you leaders together.” Said Bryce. “It’s clear the room is divided with the
decision but
let me ask you. Is it the fact that you think Quinn as the Tenth leader is needed for the
settlement that
you are annoyed he is leaving, or the fact that he is a leader that is getting special privileges
that you
dislike. Because if it is the latter, then you are not thinking about what is best for the
settlement.”
Bryce’s words had hit some of them hard as they realised that they were just being selfish.
Seeing
Quinn’s strength they should have wanted him to stay to make the vampires stronger, but
that wasn’t
the case at all.
“As for the second matter you brought up, I am quite interested in this as well. Quinn, we
saw how
effective your towers were and now it seems your defences have improved even further. I am
fine with
each leader keeping some extra resources or powers for themselves, but I believe this is
something that
could be shared with all the vampires as a whole.” Bryce requested
This was something else Quinn was expecting, after seeing what his system could do and the
upgrades
he had made, Bryce would want it for the rest of the castles as well. However, even if Quinn
wanted to
help, he couldn’t.
The titles he had received made it so he could only build things within a certain area, and for
now that
area was only within the castle.
‘Maybe if I completed the quest to become a King I would get a new title. One that would
open up the
whole area. Sure, I’ll build it all for you, but you have to let me become King. Yeah, that
wouldn’t go
down too well.’ Quinn thought.
“Unfortunately, it is something I can’t do. The things that happened to the tenth castle. It
was due to the
past Tenth leader’s ability and not mine. Left behind by Vincent. I just activated them for
defensive
measures but there is no way for it to be used in other places. As all resources have been
used up.”
Quinn said, shifting the blame onto Vincent for once.
“I see, if there is nothing to be done, then we can’t go any further. I hope at some point you
will at least
allow us to study your walls and castle so we can try to replicate it.” Bryce said.
Suddenly, Kim Killton, the leader who had replaced Prima, raised her hand.
“Your majesty, about what you said earlier. Although I am a new leader I hope I am able to
speak my
mind. I still think that everyone is putting too much emphasis on what the Tenth leader’s
achievements
were that day.
“Weren’t all the leaders there to stop Cindy? Didn’t everyone fight? Without them, wouldn’t
the Tenth
have perished as well? I just think, with so many strong vampires the families had, including
myself, the
vampire settlement is giving the tenth too much glory.”
The leaders who were there that day, knew how much Quinn had done, and not just him,
his knights
and his people. Which was why they didn’t say anything, but could understand why a new
leader would
feel this way.
Prima wanted to interject but Bryce stopped him once more, and he saw Quinn standing up
from his
seat instead.
‘How will you deal with this young one?’ Bryce thought.
“If you want, you can test my strength out for yourself?” Quinn suggested. “I want to test out
a few
things myself as well. If I beat her convincingly I guess none of the new leaders will have any
more
doubts about me?”
———
It was a strange request Quinn had made, but the one who actually suggested him to do
such a thing
was Vincent. He knew how vampires reacted to certain things. The vote was set and this
didn’t need to
be done, but to make sure no one touched his family and for the new leaders to understand
this would
be the best cause of action. He would gain respect from the new and the old.
So currently, all the leaders had moved to a large training hall in the King’s castle. It was a
huge room
with wooden floorboards. Empty apart from the large windows on either side letting in the
moonlight.
On one side stood Quinn, on the other the new leader Kim, who held a rapier in her hand,
the same
weapon as Prima used.
“How do you think this exhibition match will go?” Muka asked, standing next to Jin.
“I think it’s obvious who the winner will be, but it will be interesting to see. I heard Prima
has been
raising quite the talent. Maybe one day Kim will have speed that even surpasses him. If
anything, her
ability might make Quinn have some trouble.”
Watching over the match was the Royal Knight Prima himself. Being the fastest vampire, he
should be
able to stop anything if something was to happen. However, even though he didn’t say it to
Kim, even
he believed she would lose.
“The match will now begin!” Prima shouted.
Kim and Quinn were standing at opposite ends of the halls, so they found it a little strange
when Kim
started to stab the air from such a distance away with her thin rapier blade. The movements
were fast
and soon they were seeing little red dots of blood energy hovering in place.
After several attacks, she swiped her blade and all of them shot out like bullets towards
Quinn. When
they turned their head to see how Quinn would deal with the attack, they could see he was
just walking
ahead, one foot ahead of the other. When the attacks came towards him, he continued to
walk.
“Look under his feet!” Jin noticed.
The shadow had spread, and it was spread far and wide, around ten meters in all directions
away from
Quinn. When the attack had entered the shadow’s zone, straight away it raised up, stopping
the attacks.
Not only that, but once the attacks were stopped by the shadow, Quinn could now move the
positions
of the shadows and when dropping it redirecting the attacks. He did it in a way, so the
attacks would just
hit the side of the walls.
‘This is a good test for my powers, I can do things I never even thought of!’ Quinn was
excited. Before
holding attacks would take up MC points as well, being able to hold and move an attack was
great for
Quinn.
Finally as he went forward, he used shadow equip, equipping all of his beast gear including
the mask.
The attacks from Kim continued, and each time the shadow would raise blocking them, she
started to
vary up her attacks, performing larger and more powerful blood attacks but the shadow just
continued
to block them all while Quinn moved slowly.
‘What is with this guy, we are both leaders shouldn’t our strength be similar, then why do I
feel
so…so..scared.’ She thought.
Some were even wondering if Quinn had gotten stronger now after the fight with Cindy, and
they
weren’t wrong.
At first, Kim wanted to weaken Quinn before diving in, but with no choice she dived in with
her weapon,
moving faster than ever. She stepped into the shadow, but Quinn didn’t raise them, or do
anything to
try to slow her down.
She thrust her rapier towards his head, at a speed that would even match Prima’s.
“I got you!” She shouted, but the blade was grabbed by Quinn’s b.a.r.e hand at the very end.
Then
before she could even blink, the blade was snapped, and Quinn had grabbed her neck.
“I got you.”
“The fight is over!” Prima quickly said.
The speed he had witnessed displayed by Quinn, was something he didn’t even see against
Cindy. They
were right, Quinn had gotten stronger after the fight with Cindy. What they didn’t realise
was during the
fight with Cindy, Quinn didn’t have his beast gear due to it being taken away from him.
Now with his beast gear, his mask and added stat points, he was stronger than ever.
With everything done and no leaders now set to question him, Quinn could finally prepare
to go home.
“Is there anyone else that would like to challenge him?” Bryce asked but there were no
objections.
As Quinn walked past Bryce and the other leaders he paused for a second and looked at
them all.
“I am a fair person, you have accepted my request and I hope you treat the tenth family
better from
now on. Our relationship should be one that benefits each other. Bryce, I don’t know why
you have
supported me so much but because of that, I will tell you something.
“Something you should all hear. I don’t know why, or what you all did, but Arthur is coming
for you, and
he aims to get rid of you all. If you want to beat him, you have to get stronger, and you can’t
rely on me
for help.”
Walking out of the training room, Quinn walked past a frozen Bryce.
My Vampire System Chapter 945: Preparing for the future
There were no further instructions from Bryce or the others for what Quinn could and could
not do. It
seemed like his request went down quite well. At least well enough to do what he wanted.
Upon
returning, the group was ecstatic to hear the news. They could finally go home after being
here for what
seemed like an eternity.
There were ups and downs with the whole group and what started off as excitement and
adventure,
turned into one bad mishap happening one after another. They never thought they would
look forward
to returning so much.
It didn’t take long for those in the tenth family to make preparations. Some of them had
made friends
with the vampire students and were saying their goodbye’s, while others were collecting a
few things
from their room.
In the meantime, Quinn decided to do what he could, so the tenth castle would be well
protected as
well, after he left. There were the castle’s towers and gargoyles, and even more were built
before
leaving. As for other preparations, one of the first things he did was request for Logan to
make sure the
teleporters worked well for travelling to and from the Cursed ship.
Although Quinn also made a separate request if Logan could pull it off, the request was if
they could
change the destination of the teleporters at a certain point and time. Logan found it
interesting, and
with the new information he had learnt while studying in the vampire world, he felt like it
was
something he could do.
He had taken a look at the Vampire telporters, how they differed from the ones from earth.
When
inputting a code it would redirect you to a different location, and Logan believed he had
found out how
to work it, so Quinn’s request shouldn’t be too hard for him.
“May I ask, why do you want to request such a thing?” Logan asked.
“Things might be going well now, but preparation is the best prevention method as they say.
If there
was a storming of the Tenth castle that we couldn’t protect, then that would mean that
whoever
attacked the vampires, or even the vampires themselves would have direct access to our ship.
I don’t
want it to be a double edged sword.
“While we are away, I want the teleporters to take them somewhere else, and when we need
to use
them to link up to the Cursed ship. Of course, this stays between me and you. I have already
instructed
Paul about this, and we will communicate to him using the masks. Worst case, maybe we
could make it
so it requires a code as well and only tell that code to Paul, in case communications are
broken again.”
Quinn requested.
Just like the other leaders it was time Quinn stopped playing things by the book. There was
no need for
him to inform them of everything he was doing, and it honestly seemed like Bryce didn’t
care too much.
‘I’m sure he has his own worries to deal with after what you told him.’ Vincent said. ‘I was
afraid the old
man might fall over from a heart attack.’
‘Isn’t it strange for you to call someone old? Anyway, I don’t know whether it’s a good sign or
a bad sign
that Arthur hasn’t attacked yet, but until we find out why, the vampires deserve a chance.
They’re not
all bad.’ Quinn replied.
It didn’t take long until Logan had returned with some good news. He was able to
successfully
accomplish Quinn’s request, including that of a secret code just for Paul in emergencies.
Surfaces were flat and smooth everywhere they went, and the ground wasn’t uneven as if it
was
something that had been built thousands of years ago. The only downside was the place
seemed a bit
empty, since it lacked furnishings that had been destroyed from Borden and Remus’s battle.
Waiting to walk into the teleporter, it seemed there were more people returning to earth
than those
that had arrived. Leo and Erin had decided to come along this time. Quinn felt better about
this, as he
had felt awkward leaving Leo behind when he had so much he wanted to do, and even had
his own goal.
Now it looked like he could finally move towards it.
It was also nice to see Erin standing by Layla’s side. Now with Cia gone, he would have hated
for Layla to
not have someone close to talk too. Quinn was just far too busy to talk to everyone like he
used to in the
past.
Quinn also asked if Xander, Timmy or Amy would have liked to come along, and although
they said they
would like to someday, they didn’t want to leave the vampire world just yet.
They would do so after things had calmed down in both worlds.
With everyone ready, there were those who stood opposite them giving them a send off, who
were the
vampire students and vampires that were trained under Leo. It almost looked like they had
tears in their
eyes as they gave their two teachers a big goodbye.
On top of this, there was Paul, Ashley and a few of the other soldier vampires.
“Quinn, I know I haven’t said this much to you, but thank you.” Paul said. “After going
through what we
all went through this time, I can imagine how tough it must have been for you to even get
them to spare
our lives.” He said bowing down.
“No Paul, you are also doing me a favour by staying behind here. You have proven that you
are someone
who I can trust, and the only thing I hope is that you treat all those in the tenth as well as
you do your
men.” Said Quinn.
The reason for Quinn’s words were because he respected Paul’s decision to stay behind with
his men.
This was something that didn’t actually need to be done. Bryce never made it a request. Of
course it was
better for a Vampire Knight to stay behind. Especially if matters got out of hand, and for a
leader to give
them orders.
However, for Paul to volunteer this position, it felt like he had decided in his own way to
help Quinn and
his own people.
“I hope this time when you return, it won’t be as disastrous as the last.” Paul said with a smile,
one of
the rare times Quinn had seen it on his face.
“Huh, yeah, maybe the Dalki have attacked earth this time or something.” Peter said.
“Please, don’t jinx it. I’m a little tired.” Layla replied.
Everyone gave Paul a salute for what he was doing, and a wave goodbye as they entered the
teleporter
back to earth.
———
At the same time, Bryce had gone to a castle, however it wasn’t the King’s castle he was in.
Instead he
was in the First castle, and a meeting had been called.
Standing at the front, Bryce had his head held down as if he was full of thoughts and
turmoil. Standing in
front of him were the vampires that he had invited over to have a meeting, but they weren’t
just any
vampires. Suzan, Muscat, Prima, Kyle and Jill were all there with him.
“I believe you all know why I have called you all here today.” Bryce said, gripping his fist. The
others
didn’t say a word, but they had sweat running down their faces as they thought about what
was about
to come.
“If what Quinn had said is true, it means Arthur has found out the truth. I don’t know when,
but we
must prepare for his return, and make sure we come out of this alive.” Said Bryce.
End of Arc five
My Vampire System Chapter 946: An invitation
The latest ship created by the military, the Big Bertha, sleek in style and design while also
being practical
for warfare. Made of the strongest light material possible Glathrium. Only allowing them to
create eight
of these in existence. Although now only seven of them belonged to the military.
After the Civil War had ended, being on the cautious side, the Supreme Commander Oscar
decided to
utilise these sh.i.p.s. Two of the Bertha’s were placed on the North and South Pole of earth,
rotating
around it as a protective measure.
The space station that would teleport one to the beast planet solar system had to be limited
to one
station. The other stations were closed down and it was agreed that the Graylash family and
Cursed
family would have equal rights to use the station at any point and time.
The rule was made as a precaution, they were sure the Dalki had their eyes on the humans.
They
thought that an attack would happen at any moment. That’s why the rest of the remaining
Berthas,
including their fleets of sh.i.p.s, were sent out on the edge of the beast planets that they had
owned.
What they couldn’t do was just because they felt like war was upon them, was back down
and stop
hunting for the beast crystals. They were essential for powering items for war, on top of
getting their
people the beast gear they needed.
If the humans were to leave the area, or have it unprotected, the Dalki could easily take
charge and over
the planets. Defending was always a lot easier than attacking.
The military was now mainly responsible for protection, education and training. While the
Graylash and
Cursed family were the two families that were out on the beast planets who were constantly
hunting for
crystals. Sharing a percentage of what they found and sending it back to the military.
For whatever reason, the Dalki never attacked, and they were allowing the humans to
recover and stay
in place from the war. Now on earth, Oscar stood there with a large grin on his face, for the
project that
they had been working on was finally complete.
“We have made a lot of mistakes in the past, I’m surprised the whole human race didn’t
collapse when
Truedream disappeared. I hope we can make things better this time. Did you send out the
invitations
like I asked?”
“Yes, Commander, I’m hoping to get a reply from them soon. We should know what their
decision is
before the starting date.”
———
Inside the Cursed ship, Megan had her head slumped down on top of the command center
table. Her
hair was frazzled and she was unmoving. The sound of the doors opening made her move
her head
slightly up and one could now see the bags under her eyes.
Seeing who had entered, there was a spring in her step as she got out from her seat.
“Helen, thank you so much for helping me out all the time.” Megan said, grabbing her two
hands. “I’m
starting to know why you and the Daisy faction were so popular.”
“It’s okay, I’m just completing my duties as asked.” Helen replied. “I must thank Quinn as
well. Some
families after completing a deal like so would have treated us like slaves, or as lesser beings
once joining,
but Quinn allowed us to pretty much to operate the way we usually do, just under the
Cursed faction
name.”
While Quinn was away, Megan, one of the heads of the old Crow faction, was left in charge.
After all,
nearly every single high ranking member of the Cursed faction had gone off to the human
world. There
really wasn’t much choice, but someone had to be left in charge especially after the position
the cursed
family had achieved.
However, the faction was no longer small and there were multiple things that needed to be
done. What
Megan thought was just looking after those on the Cursed ship, soon became a much bigger
task.
Communicating with the other two families, on top of the smaller factions that had joined
under the
Cursed faction and even down to sorting out the forging, buying and selling process.
She was starting to realise just how much Sam did around the place. He was always busy in
the
command room, not training like the others, and now she realised he just didn’t have the
time.
Thankfully, Helen having led one of the largest factions Daisy, she had a lot of experience.
When she had
come to visit the Cursed ship one day. This was due to receiving a strange order. One asking
them to
forge new weapons and equipment.
She didn’t think Quinn or the others would be that stupid to turn such a powerful faction
into a bunch of
forgers, who had no experience. So, she decided to visit and found a frantic Megan not being
able to
handle any of the pressure at all.
“Speaking of, I wonder how long your leader and the others will be on their little trip for, it’s
been a
while hasn’t it?” Helen asked.
Suddenly, Megan started to fidget as she had told a small little lie. Saying that Quinn and
the others had
discovered a Demon tier beast, which was what they were currently out exploring at the
moment.
This was an understandable excuse for those in the Cursed as well as those outside the
Cursed.
However, a few moments later, one of the computer terminals inside the command room
started to
light up.
“Miss, we have a signal from a teleporter in one of the training rooms!” A member shouted.
“The training rooms, I don’t remember there being any Tele-” At that moment she realised
that it meant
they had finally returned.
Inside the personal training room, Quinn and everyone else had finally gotten through the
portal and
had arrived back at the Cursed ship.
“Oh sweet metal ground!” Alex cheered as he started to kiss the floor. He never thought he
would miss
the bright lights and metallic floor of the ship, but he was so ecstatic.
“I mean I’m happy I returned but I’m not that crazy about it?” Nate whispered over to Sam.
“I don’t think you’re the best person to talk about other people’s strange tendencies. Besides
he went
through a lot being taken away, and having to be hidden. It was a good thing they claimed
that the
blood fairy was planted by Jill and Cindy.” Sam replied.
When Kazz had returned with Fex and Silver, she had informed them of what they had
planned to do
with Alex. The explanation given to the other leaders was that when Cindy had attacked the
Tenth
family, they had planted a blood fairy that they created there in order to frame Quinn.
However, an order from Bryce was given. That Alex, the real blood fairy, was never ever to set
foot in
the vampire world again, which he was more than happy to comply with.
‘We finally made it back.’ Quinn said looking around the training room and at everyone’s
happy faces.
He could tell what they were feeling because he felt the same way. It was similar to when one
went on
holiday for a long time and returned to their comfy home.
What he started to think about though, was the tasks he still had left here and what to do
now he was
one of the world leaders. It was natural to prepare for war with the Dalki but there were
other things.
Exploring Paul’s request to turn him and his people back into humans, Quinn thought back
to Chris. One
of the members of Pure. How he was able to make it so the red energy didn’t consume him.
Perhaps
with enough Qi control, something else could be done as well. Separating the two energies
completely
from one’s body.
Then, Quinn saw Sil’s back as he exited the room not really talking to anyone. The only
people Sil talked
to were Quinn and Borden, and Quinn didn’t talk to him much these days. It seems like Sil
was still
greatly depressed about losing Vorden and Raten. To the point where he hardly spoke to
Quinn now.
Now with a large fleet it might be possible to try and find someone who had an ability that
could help
them.
Thinking about that, reminded Quinn of Hilston and the Blade island. The Blade island was
located on
Earth. Knowing now how much of a threat Hilston was, Quinn wondered if they were still
there, if
Hilston was still out there somewhere planning his move. It was a worry because this time,
they didn’t
have Arthur.
There was also the search for Richard Eno and Jim Eno, with Logan. Although they couldn’t
do anything
about this because they no longer had any clues or hints of his whereabouts.
The problem with all the things Quinn needed to do, was he had no information. He knew
nothing about
Pure or how to find Chris, didn’t know if there was an ability to help out Sil, didn’t know
Hilston’s
whereabouts nor the Eno family.
‘If I really can’t progress I guess we could do one thing?’ Quinn thought.
What he was thinking about was at least making himself stronger. With Logan’s new device
they could
search for Demon tier beasts on other planets, but was wondering if they were ready to take
on such a
thing. Even with a thousand MC points, it would still be a struggle.
————
Exiting the ship, an announcement was made to everyone and a welcoming party was
thrown in the
main reception hall of the large ship. Everyone was full of smiles and more, and this time it
didn’t seem
like anything serious happened to the world after their return.
It looked like those from the Cursed were just happy to see them. Leo and Erin were
introduced as new
members as well, but not just any members, as Quinn made sure they got the respect they
deserved
and announced them as part of the Cursed Leaders.
‘I like this,’ Quinn thought.
“Hey, this is great right?” Sam asked.
The two of them stood towards the side of a room by a table. Quinn stood next to all the
great food but
was unable to eat any of it.
“I want it to be like this all the time.” Quinn said.
“Well it is for us, so you have accomplished a lot already Quinn. Sometimes I think you just
need to be
told that. You always seem to be rushing from one thing into the next, bulldozing your way
forward.”
“Trust me, that’s not me, just everything was moving so quickly around me all the time.”
Said Quinn.
“I guess you’re right, because something else has come up as well. I don’t mean to ruin your
fun, but
once this party is over, I think we need to talk. There was a message from Oscar which I
think you’ll find
pretty interesting, and it’s up to you what you want to do.” Sam said, giving a wink.
‘A message, what could it be about?’
My Vampire System Chapter 947: On my own
The party was a big hit, and it allowed everyone who was part of the Cursed faction, to have
a good well
deserved rest. There weren’t many times they could celebrate things that happened in this
harsh world,
so they took advantage of it, and made sure to make it count. It looked like Quinn and his
group weren’t
the only ones keeping busy. The faction members had been as well, contently going out on
quests
keeping up with trade and more.
What seemed to go down well at the party most, was the alcohol, as those that had been
turned into
vampires found out that their taste buds for this were practically the same as before. Finally,
it was
something that they could enjoy from their human life.
Looking around the room, they could see a red faced Nate, trying to talk to a few girls in the
faction.
Most of those that were turned seemed to handle their alcohol well, better than when they
were
human, so based on Nate’s condition he had ethier drunken a large amount, hoping he
could build up
the courage to talk to the girls or he was just one of those that couldn’t handle their drink
well, even as a
vampire.
“I would have thought with our healing abilities it wouldn’t let us get drunk, but it looks like
I was proven
wrong,” Quinn commented.
Hearing this, Sam could see who he was talking about.
“I’ll keep an eye on him and the others, make sure they don’t spill the beans on our big secret.
Although,
maybe they will just think it’s drunk talk. Have a rest for tonight and we can talk about it
tomorrow.”
Sam said, rushing off and trying his best to get his friend away from the girls.
“Sam, my wing man! Come on and tell these girls how great I am.” Nate could be heard
saying in the
background. Rather than Sam pulling him away, it looked like Nate had pulled him in
instead.
“Wait a minute, you’re not drunk at all, are you just pretending!?” Sam shouted back.
‘Our secret huh, can we really just hide it forever with how involved we are in everything?’
Quinn
thought. ‘The Cursed faction are now the centre of attention, someone is bound to find out
about it one
day.’
‘And if they do, then you can deal with it as you have done most of your problems.’ Vincent
said. ‘As
Sam said you have done well.’
Heading on over, Quinn decided that he wanted to talk to Megan for a short while. The
centre of the
Hall was being used as a dancing space, with food and drink placed around the edges. It
reminded Quinn
of the prom videos he would see in old movies, although it was something he never had, as
prom had
been stopped in his time and age.
Instead, when you turned sixteen and finished school, you were chartered to military school
instead.
‘Better times.’
Behind the tables of food there were also seats and a few tables, and on one table in
particular there
were a few girls sitting down along with Megan, but it wasn’t the girls he was familiar with.
Helen, her
two sisters were sitting along with her.
“Do you mind if I take a seat?” Quinn asked, pulling one of the chairs back.
“Please Quinn, you don’t have to ask.” Megan said, as she couldn’t help but stare at Quinn’s
face as he
went to sit down. She had to often remind herself that this young looking man was actually
a young
a.d.u.l.t, who was hardly eighteen.
All of this was even without using any of his Cham skills. It was through Quinn’s evolutions.
‘He’s far too young for you Megan, and besides you have Dennis, where is Dennis?” She
wondered and
soon saw that he was on the dance floor having a little wiggle with Linda.
A deep fire started to burn in her c.h.e.s.t.
“All men are sc.u.m.” She blurted out.
“I’m sorry, did I do something to offend you?'” Quinn said. “I can leave, if you want me too.”
Realising the words she was meant to say in her head had come out of her mouth instead,
she felt
extremely embarrassed, and her cheeks were getting redder by the second.
“No, Quinn I-”
“Don’t worry about her,” Helen said. “It just seems like her man is being taken by another
woman over
there.”
Turning around, Quinn could see who they were talking about. It was Linda and Dennis.
The two of them
had always been close due to Blip being best friends with Dennis. After Blip’s death they
didn’t spend
much time together.
‘Did they get closer in the castle together?’ Quinn wondered.
“It’s normal to feel this way.” Quinn said. “I’m just glad you weren’t turning into Cindy.”
“Who’s Cindy?” Megan asked.
“Oh, don’t worry just someone I met while I was away. Anyway, the reason I came over here
was I
wanted to thank you for everything you did. I know it must have been hard.” Quinn said.
“Oh no, please I had so much help from Helen here. She is the real superstar.” She replied,
grabbing her
shoulders. “This is the one you need to say thank you to.”
“Thank you, both of you.” Quinn said with a gentle smile.
While at the table, the group started talking a little bit more. Quinn asked Megan to give
him a small
update on what had happened so far while they were away. With Helen here, he thought it
would be
good to be caught up as well.
Apparently not much had happened. The Dalki hadn’t attacked, there had been a few
scuffles with
humans here and there on a few beast planets, but that always happened now and then
anyway.
“Do you really have to talk about work right now?” Helen said, taking a sip of her drink. “I
know you’re
the leader and everything, but you’re only eighteen, you should live a little. Do you even have
a
girlfriend, sometimes you just need to let out some stress?”
That’s when Quinn noticed that he had soured the girl’s moods. They looked to be having
such a good
time at the party drinking away. He had only come over to thank Megan but somehow the
conversation
moved onto the matter at hand.
“I’m sorry,” Quinn said standing up. “I think I should let everyone have their fun.”
And before the others could say anything, Quinn was no longer in the party room. No
matter how hard
others looked, they couldn’t find him anywhere.
“Crap, Helen, did you really have to say that to him? I’m sure he’s quite s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e for his
age.”
Megan replied.
“But, I was generally interested in the boy. Someone who has good looks like him, and is one
of the
leaders of the world. If he really wanted to, he could get anyone he wished.” Helen said,
thinking about
Quinn a little more.
The reason why no one was able to find Quinn for the rest of the night, was because he had
used the
skill, shadow lock on himself. Of course he wanted to have fun, doing certain things, going
out on dates.
However, whenever he would think about those things his mind would always start to
wonder.
He thought, ‘couldn’t I be doing something to better myself right now’. The reason why he
enjoyed the
game power fighters was because he felt like he was learning something from it and
progressing his
goal, but with other games or dates, he could just imagine his time would be better spent
improving for
what was to come.
‘Don’t worry Quinn, you’re a vampire now.’ Vincent said. ‘Humans think this way because
they have a
short life span. They need to fit everything they can into that lifespan. I understand you
more than the
others. You have plenty of time now that you’re a vampire. When everything is done, then
you can have
your fun.’
Although Vincent was trying to cheer him up, he didn’t like that Vincent was comparing him
more to a
vampire than a human.
It was at that point he realised that Quinn always considered himself Half, half. As a human
who was
turned into a vampire, but that wasn’t the case at all. Quinn wasn’t a dhampir like Erin. Her
hair had
returned blonde now she was amongst other humans and didn’t need blood nor was
affected by the
daylight.
Quinn as a full fledged vampire, who used to be human.
‘When Quinn had eventually gotten out from the shadow lock, he found that the party had
ended. There
was no one around and he was left on his own.
‘If I live my life as a vampire forever Vincent, is this what it will feel like? Will I see everyone
I care about
grow old and leave me.’
For a brief moment, Quinn was understanding why Vincent had chosen to become human
and possibly
why Vampires in the end decided to go into eternal slumber.
Thinking about this, Quinn feared for the end.
My Vampire System Chapter 948: A date
It was the next day and the first thing that was on the agenda, was a meeting between the
leaders of the
Cursed faction. Heading across the bridge and over to the command centre, Quinn could
see Sam
standing there with a tablet in his hand. While the others sat all around the large circular
holographic
displaying machine.
“I expected to see you all here with a headache, or hangover but you all seem to be doing
fine.” Quinn
commented.
“Yeah, it seems like alcohol doesn’t really affect us like it used to.” Nate blurted out.
Nearly everyone at the table had turned their heads towards Nate, because today there were
some
others at the table that were unaware of their secret.
For one, there was Megan, one of the only Cursed leaders that was still a human and also it
looked like
Helen from the Daisy faction had been invited along as well. She had stayed for the party,
and had
stayed for the night too. It looked like Sam must have invited her along.
Clearing his throat, Sam began the presentation as he usually would, once Quinn had sat
down.
“As you know we have been away for a while, and I hope everyone had a good time last night,
but we
have to remind everyone of our goals and what we plan to do next as a faction and group.”
Sam went on to update everyone of the events in the human world and how the
communication
between, what was now deemed as the three world leaders had gotten better. The Graylash
family, the
Cursed faction, as well as the military, all were working together now, and we’re
collaborating more and
more.
“The reason why I have called Helen here today, is because I think it’s important that we
should give
recognition where recognition is due. There are quite a few factions now under the Cursed
faction
name, including Daisy. Helen has done a great job in coordinating between them in order to
get
resources and any help needed.
“She has also suggested that there be a meeting between faction leaders once a month in
order to bring
everyone closer together.”
From the way Sam was speaking, the idea sounded similar to what giant corporations would
do. There
were several smaller companies under one big one with different departments. Once in a
while they
would have a meeting in order to make sure everyone was doing their own part, in their own
way all
towards the same goal.
Next, Sam allowed Helen to speak a little and she started to talk about the accomplishments
that the
factions had achieved.
“We have stumbled across quite a few legendary tier beasts on our planet search, although
have seen
no Demi-god tier beats or demon tier beats. If we did anyway, I have asked the group to
report back to
us, since they are a high risk for our faction.” Daisy reported. “For the legendary crystals, we
have kept
them so the leaders in the Cursed faction can get the best gear first.”
“You don’t need to worry about that.” Quinn said, interrupting her midway. “The Daisy
faction worked
hard for the legendary tier beast crystals. I’m sure some blood was split and maybe even
some lives
were lost. For you to hand them over to us, it just feels wrong.
“While you guys are out on the front lines getting crystals, it is more important that they
protect
themselves first before thinking about us. Improve your gear, to improve the chance of you
surviving,
and in turn get more crystals. Then you can hand over whatever you have spare to us.” Quinn
said.
For a second, Helen had lost her train of thought and just looked at Quinn.
“If I don’t take my chance now, I may never know when it will come.” Helen said not
breaking eye
contact away from Quinn. It looked quite fierce and the others were unsure if she was about
to climb
over the table and attack him. “I would like to ask you out on a date whenever you are free.
Remember
what I said before? Sometimes you need some free time to do things like this.”
Everyone was stunned from what they had just heard. Helen was quite a strong person that
wasn’t used
to taking orders. It was why she had made a faction trying to rise to the top herself not
wanting to take
orders from any of the other families.
However, the major shock was the fact that she had said these words in front of everyone
during a
meeting.
‘How could she..’ Layla thought, as she could hear her heart thumping louder than her
thoughts. ‘Isn’t
she shy, with all these people looking around. How could she say that? I haven’t even..’
Now, what everyone was more curious about, was just what exactly Quinn’s answer would
be.
Clearing his throat, and making sure no one could read his facial expressions, he gave a
reply.
“We can see if I have some time, at some point.” Quinn said.
After his reply, Helen sat back down in her seat and continued as normal.
“Well, that was definitely interesting huh. I can tell you for sure that wasn’t planned in the
meeting or
run past me.” Sam said, trying to crack a joke to break the current atmosphere but he was
never really
good at those things.
“Now, let’s move onto the main reason why I called you all today.” Pressing a button on his
tablet, the
holographic display started to form something in front of everyone’s eyes. A giant building
started to
emerge with a large circular design and square shaped buildings.
The design was modern, with lots of glass to let light in, while also being practical as they
had bridges
connecting from building to building. It was hard to get a scale of the size of the building
until they could
see the model humans walking through it.
It was bigger than any university they had seen in the past and looked like a miniature city.
“This is what the military has been working on for a while now and they say it’s finally
complete. What
you are all looking at is the newly designed military school.” Said Sam.
“A military school, but that thing is nearly as big as one of the military bases, never mind the
school. I
even thought the schools there were big.” Nate said, amazed.
“Your right, this is a really big school but there is a reason for that. Rather than have eight
military bases
like before, now they only have one. I think you all remember the inter-base tournament, or
at least
have seen it broadcasted for those of you that are a little older.” Sam mentioned, knowing
there were
those that had never attended one.
“The new military school has been built where the first military base was located. Now, the
eight bases
have been condensed into one. From what I have learnt most of the forces have moved along
with it as
well.
“The students themselves will be placed into nine groups which will be linked to their
military group
counterparts. These military groups are controlled by nine head generals now. Sounds
strange right,
why decrease the base but then increase the head generals. This is all due to Oscar’s plan to
collaborate
with the Graylash family and the cursed family more.
“In these nine groups, three of them will actually be directly controlled by one of the three
great
powers. The Cursed faction, the Graylash family, and what is now known as the Earthian
group, which
was formally the military.
“The idea is for the students in each of these groups to be placed under one of them
randomly as a
House. This will be used for sporting events and competition like the inter base tournament.
When they
graduate they are free to decide which group they would like to go to.” Sam explained.
It was interesting and Sam felt like he could go on and on about the details and the plans for
this project,
yet everyone there started to notice something. For some reason, Sam was focused on the
students
more than anything, rather than the military group themselves.
“So why are you telling us all this, and what exactly does Oscar want from us? Other than
looking after
some of those in the military?” Quinn asked.
“Well, there are a few things. First, Oscar wants three members of the cursed faction to act
as head
general. They will be in charge of three of these groups linked to the Cursed faction. The
Graylash family
will do the same. This way, there is not one power that is greater than the other. Even in the
military.
Making it, so the military is more of one singular group but three forces.
“As for the second thing, he recommends that we send someone there as a teacher as well.
The head
general or whatever position he decides to give us, can also become teachers, but the reason
I was
telling you all of this was because, Quinn. I think it might be a good idea if you became a
teacher for a
while.”
My Vampire System Chapter 949: A teacher
What was being suggested by Sam, was a thought that hadn’t once crossed Quinn’s mind.
‘Become a
teacher?’
Kids had certain dreams growing up, but Quinn being someone who had always hated
school and the
teachers around him that ignored everything that happened, never thought he would be put
in such a
position where he could become one.
Quinn himself was soon to only become eighteen and be considered an a.d.u.l.t by the world.
It was
strange to even think of himself as a teacher, and besides, he had more important pressing
things to do.
So why would he need to waste his time with this?
“I can tell what you’re thinking, Quinn, but you should hear me out before you make up your
mind. The
meeting for everyone else is dismissed. If there is anything you would like to request, feel
free to run it
past me, and then I can run it past Quinn.” Sam said, and soon after, everyone had left the
room quite
quickly.
They wanted to know the reason as well, why Sam thought it was best for Quinn to take on
this role, but
if he said the others shouldn’t be there, they probably had an idea of what the reason could
be.
For once, Linda was shoving Nate out of the room, even though he wanted to stay.
Eventually, the only two left around the table were Sam and Quinn, and Quinn had moved,
so now the
two of them could talk side by side.
“Look, you don’t have to worry too much about the teaching part of this. There are plenty of
courses
you could choose where you could help them out. Combat courses, for one. You’re better
than any of
the teachers that ever taught us hand to hand combat. Or if you wanted to, maybe you could
teach
them how to use Qi. I’m sure Oscar wouldn’t be against that idea, after seeing what Pure
could do with
it.” Sam suggested.
Quinn hadn’t thought about that. Teaching the new generation Qi would certainly give
them more
chances against the Dalki. If everyone had it, then Pure would no longer have an advantage.
Pure was already advertising Qi to the world, so more people would choose to join their side,
so maybe
they could do the same.
“This can’t be the only reason. I know you better than this Sam, come on, spill it all out.”
Quinn asked.
“Well, there are a few points. For one, with you there, I think you will see firsthand if the
military has
changed its ways. See if they align with your goals. Don’t you want to change the way the
system works?
To do that, the best way is to learn how it works, and being part of the system is a good first
hand
experience.
“Also, do you remember I told you how students would later select which group they would
like to join
after the military ends? Well, out of all of those, the Cursed faction is the newest and not the
most
popular. The only reason we have people joining us now is due to the Daisy faction’s
popularity. The
students that have no choice will be sent out the Cursed fanfiction. People like you Quinn,
with no
ability.
“I saw you use that strange power against Cindy. When you used all of our shadows. The
time limit
seemed kind of short. The only thing I can guess is because the shadow you borrowed from
us wasn’t
enough. Maybe you can find some students that could learn the shadow.
“We don’t know if the shadow is a vampire only ability, and you can’t use your shadow eater
skill on non
vampire subjects, but if you can find more people that can learn the shadow, then you can
borrow the
powers from those around you a lot more,” Sam explained.
Although Quinn now had a lot more MC points, he understood where Sam was coming
from. On top of
that, he was sure Arthur, with his thousands of years of being a punisher, still had a larger
amount.
With the enhanced soul weapon, Quinn could use the shadow just as much as Arthur could,
but not for
the same amount of time.
“I understand, and honestly, what you’re saying doesn’t sound too bad, but my worry is
about the other
things that need to be done. I feel like I can’t just waste my time being a teacher, and maybe
someone
else could do this.” Quinn replied.
“You don’t have to worry. If you were to get a role, it would be as head general. Of course,
your real title
and rank are higher than that, but this is just for the sake of positions within the military
groups. Do you
remember Paul? I bet you hardly ever saw him during your time at school. It was the same
for our
military head, and It could be the same for you.
“If you have to deal with other matters, they will just get a substitute for you in the
meantime. And if
you worry about your position affecting how people will treat you, don’t worry about that too
much.
The broadcast from the match you had when you became one of the major powers, you don’t
even look
the same as that little twerp from before.
“I don’t even think anyone would recognise you,” Sam said.
It was true that there was quite the jump in appearance from when Quinn was a vampire
Nobel to
vampire lord, and he had also changed his hairstyle. People didn’t recognise Quinn unless
he mentioned
it to them. So to the outside, and others, they didn’t know what he looked like.
However, the shadow powers and blood abilities would be a giveaway, but with a bunch of
students,
would he ever need to use them?
“So, I would be assigned as head general of one of the nine groups, and become a teacher.
Doing all the
things you mentioned, but have the freedom to come and go as I please?’ Quinn said, and
Sam nodded.
When it was put as simply as that, it really didn’t sound like there was any downside to it at
all.
“Of course, we would need people to fill up the other positions to run the school, to support
you, so you
wouldn’t be on your own. They have even said we can send anyone there as students. I was
sometimes
thinking teacher’s miss the things that happen in school, so we could send a few of our own
in the
Cursed family as students. It will also help your scouting job a little easier.”
After debating internally for a while, there was something that drew him to the position
more than
others. It was the fact that he could see how the new school worked. His end goal was
changing the
system.
The Dalki were indeed a threat, but Quinn wasn’t so sure people’s lives could just change
once the war
was over. At the same time, he started to think back to when he was in school. Sam was right.
Teachers
did miss a lot of things that happened, and who knows if they were other teachers like Duke
in charge of
the other groups.
Oscar didn’t seem like a bad person, based on Quinn’s impression of him, but even he didn’t
know
everything that went on. Lastly, Quinn was lucky to have a teacher like Leo there, one that
he really
needed.
“A teacher huh, I guess it doesn’t sound too bad,” Quinn said, agreeing to Sam’s proposition.
Now, they just needed to decide who would be coming with him.
My Vampire System Chapter 950: Taking along
Walking around the Cursed ship, Quinn wondered who would be best to take along with
him to the
school. It was quite the head scratcher for a few reasons. There were a few positions that
needed to be
filled up.
Three head generals, taking charge of three military groups, one of them being Quinn
himself. These
would have the most and at the same time the least responsibility. According to Sam, they
were more
like a figurehead. Although they genuinely could be used in time of need.
‘Paul and Helen would have been good for these types of things, even Sam, but they’re
already far too
busy.’ Quinn thought. Since Paul was already a head general and Helen was the leader of a
large faction.
Thinking about it more, he wondered if bringing Helen was a good idea anyway, but she
would have
gotten the wrong idea if he did so. Perhaps she would force him to go on that date that he
partially
agreed to earlier.
‘Why did you agree to that date?’ Vincent asked.
‘I didn’t agree, I just came up with an excuse. When will I have time to do such things?’
Quinn replied
back and continued to think of who else he could bring along.
Other than those positions, as head general, Quinn could really bring along anyone from
the Cursed ship
he liked and just give them a position of sergeant or even as a student. The main thing was
that they
shouldn’t currently be too busy or thier task essential to something else, like Sam.
‘It would be nice if we could bring everyone back together again.’ Quinn thought, and with
this in his
mind, Quinn decided to visit one of the few people that he had first met while he was at
military school.
This led him to one of the break rooms on the ship. There was plenty of space on the ship,
and a lot of
rooms were empty. Still, they couldn’t just turn every large empty room into a training room,
so they
decided to renovate one into a breakroom.
Here there were pool tables, the block block game, as well as a little bar area for ordering
drinks and
sitting down and talking. What brought him to such a place was because he was here to find
Layla, and
he could see her sitting along with Eirin, who was covered in sweat.
‘Did they just come out of training or something?’
Quinn thought as the two of them saw him and waved him over, it looked like for a second,
Erin was
about to leave to let the two of them be alone, but Layla quickly tugged on her sleeve,
bringing her back
down.
“Please stay.” She said,
Even though Quinn had heard these words, he chose to ignore them and continued walking.
‘Did I do something to annoy her?’ Quinn thought.
But he continued on anyway and thought he would just try to be extra nice if he had done
something.
“I know we haven’t gotten much chance to talk, Layla, but I wanted to ask you something,”
Quinn said,
as he continued to explain what Sam’s plan was and what he was planning to do.
“So the reason why I came over to the both of you, was because I was thinking of getting the
old group
back together. I thought it would be nice, all of us that were once students to return now as
teachers.”
Quinn said, in a happy tone, but realised that the two girls weren’t reciprocating the same
feelings back.
“I have bad memories of that place, Quinn. Unlike all of you that carried on to live a joyous
life without
me.” Erin replied. “Besides, I think you should talk to Leo before talking to us. It sounded
like he had
something planned, and Layla and I were hoping to go along.”
Quinn turned to look towards Layla, who could barely make eye contact and just nodded
along.
Realising that he couldn’t convince the girls, unless he had talked to Leo, he decided that
this would be
his next destination.
Leo didn’t know much of the crew on the Cursed ship, and he hardly knew the others. At the
same time,
it didn’t seem like many would talk to him, but Quinn knew where Leo would be. For Quinn
had given
him access to his personal training room, and ever since it felt like it no longer was his
anymore and now
was permanently Leo’s.
‘I don’t mind anyway. I can always use the shadow lock if I want to get somewhere where no
one will
disturb me.’
Entering the room, Quinn was right. He could see Leo sitting down, meditating and
practising as he
usually did.
“Quinn, I thought you would come to see me eventually,” Leo said, and Quinn went ahead
and sat down
opposite him.
It reminded Quinn of the first time he had learnt Qi from Leo. Quinn went ahead and
briefly explained
the situation to Leo, and waited for a reply.
“I see. I think Sam is a great person to have by your side. He is knowledgeable and thinks for
not only
your best interest but the whole group as well. If you continue to follow his advice, you will
achieve
what you truly d.e.s.i.r.e, Quinn.” Leo said. “But, if your request is for me to come back to
being a
teacher, I can not. I simply don’t think you need me there. I joined before because I thought
it was
something I could do to help the future generation. I believe you are now more suited for
that position.
“While for me, I have something else I want to achieve.”
Quinn thought that this might be the case when Erin and Layla had brought something up.
“Do you plan to try to find the high ranking members of Pure?” Quinn asked. “Layla and
Erin said they
would be coming with you.”
“I haven’t forced Quinn. This is your choice at the end of the day. Honestly, if you give a
reason why you
think they shouldn’t, or you didn’t even want me to go, then we will comply with your
request, but you
who believes in freedom, I don’t think would do that.”
Leo was right, If it was something they chose to do, as long as they knew the risks, then he
would allow
them to go, but Quinn just wished he could go with them.
“Leo, I trust you to look after them, but this time I want to be there as well. Pure is a
dangerous group.
They have a lot of strong people, I’m sure you know. Before you take any action, I want you
to report
back to me, and I will come and help. While you’re on your search, I also want you to bring
one of the
shadow users with you. That way I can come to you at any time.
“I don’t want to go on another rescue mission for you guys. We have been on far too many of
those
already.” Quinn said, thinking about everything that happened.
“Well, neither do we. I assure you. We will inform you as soon as there is any problem at all.
With your
shadow powers, as long as there is one that can be used at the school, the Cursed ship, and
with us, you
will be able to go to all three positions at once, so don’t worry about that.”
Leaving the conversation there, it was just more people that Quinn couldn’t take along with
him to the
school. He started to think about Logan as well, but his use was far more suited on the ship
as well,
same with Alex.
After racking his brain long and hard, Quinn finally decided who would be coming with him
back to
school.
“These guys!” Sam said, shaking his head slightly and placing his hand on his forehead. “Are
you sure,
Quinn?”
“I don’t see what is wrong with them?” Quinn replied. “Besides, it’s the best choice I have.
I’m sure
these are the ones I want to take with me.”My Vampire 951
My Vampire System Chapter 951: My Choices
Sam thought leaving Quinn to decide who to take with him should have been fine. After all,
Quinn was
actually a good decision maker when it came to certain things. Sure Sam disagreed with his
decisions at
times and would have done things differently, but Quinn seemed to have this intuition style
of leading
that got them out of the worst of situations.
There were times that even Sam wouldn’t have known how to deal with such things and
Quinn’s quick
thinking would have helped them. Whether or not Sam would have gotten into such a dire
situation in
the first place was a different story, but people were different.
Still, none of this changed the fact that Sam didn’t understand Quinn’s reasoning to bring
these people
along with him.
“Can I please ask, why them? I mean.. yeah please Quinn?” Sam had to ask.
“Do you have a problem with me?” Peter said, looking at him while tilting his head a little to
the side. His
eyes looked like if Sam said anything, he would come over there and give him a slap at the
back of the
head.
“Peter is plenty strong, and his ability is extremely helpful in certain situations. We are no
longer in the
vampire world where they can smell he isn’t one of them. If anything is going on, or we need
to dive
further to find out information, Peter will be our guy.” Quinn answered.
Looking at Peter, he was nodding along to every word Quinn would say and kind of looked a
little smug,
hiding a slight smile.
“Peter, don’t take this the wrong way, but don’t you think he’s a little aggressive. Are you
planning to
make him a teacher, or a head general?” Said Sam.
“I think Peter will do better than you think, his current difficult personality has been getting
better with
time. Also, he has this intuition where he can spot when something is wrong. You have to
give him credit
where credit is due. Peter was the first one to call out Cindy.” Said Quinn.
“That’s right, and this time if my intuition starts to ring, I’ll slap them before anyone gets
hurt.” Peter
said while doing the action of a punch instead.
Seeing this, Sam couldn’t help but shake his head.
“Don’t worry, Peter has a calm side.” Quinn whispered to him. “If he was really quick to anger
or
aggressive then he wouldn’t be able to teach the kids from the Blade island. He’ll make a
good head
general.”
“Okay, I’ll give you a pass on the ability side of things, especially with his soul weapon, it
means he isn’t
the one that needs to do the snooping. So explain to me, why you’re taking one of the
strongest humans
with you. A lot of people saw him on the broadcast it will be hard hiding him.” Sam said,
looking towards
Sil.
“Sil, never got to experience school properly.” Quinn said in a softer tone as he lowered his
voice. “I
want Sil to get to know others, without an environment where they have to worry about their
lives, or
betray their friends. Also, new abilities are being discovered all the time and he’s one of the
best people
to find them.
“Hopefully Sil might be able to find someone that can help him achieve his goal. Don’t worry
about his
appearance, it’s one of the reasons Peter is coming along as well. With the ‘Mud Mask’ soul
weapon, we
can change that for him. So I’ve decided that Sil will be attending as a student.”
Looking at Sil, Sam noticed that he seemed quite nervous. He wasn’t sure if he was only
doing this
because it was Quinn’s request. Although Quinn might have not noticed it, Sil listened to
Quinn a lot and
would nearly do everything he asked. Even despite them not talking as much these days.
“Well, I mean my worry is that Sil is one of the strongest people in existence. Especially
around so many
ability users, having him as a student you won’t be able to keep an eye on him all the time.”
Sam
explained.
However, Quinn wanted Sil to get better, there was a chance Vorden and Raten would never
be brought
back, and somehow Quinn needed him to get out of this rut.
“Don’t worry about that, I have thought of that as well.” Quinn replied.
Finally, they moved onto the last three people Quinn had brought with him.
Sam looked at this person confused for a few seconds. It was a male who looked quite plain.
He didn’t
have any memorable features on his face, he had a normal short styled haircut that was
within time and
he looked like a plain guy.
“Who even is this guy!” Sam blurted out, realising he was losing it a little. He felt like his
brain cells were
weakening as he couldn’t figure out Quinn’s decision making, but found out that everything
he said
made sense.
“This is Bucky!” Quinn said as he held out his hand introducing him.
“Chucky,” The man corrected Quinn.
“Chucky? You’re taking someone with you whose name you don’t even know?” Said Sam.
“Well, he will also be attending as a student and will be looking over Sil. I plan to have them
attend the
same class. Sil’s main weakness is he needs an ability to copy, you know why he can’t do so
with the
others, so that’s why I have brought Chucky along as well. I also picked him because he
doesn’t stand
out so much. I mean it’s almost as if this guy has a second ability.” Quinn answered quite
proudly.
“And next you’re going to tell me you brought the troublemaker along just to make your life
harder?”
Sam said bluntly, looking at Fex.
“No, Fex I brought along because I just wanted someone by my side.” Quinn said quite
seriously. “I want
people I trust. Fex and I share some good memories at school with each other, and I want to
make more.
Honestly, I wanted everyone who I used to go to school with to come as well. I thought
maybe it would
serve as a good break after everything we’ve been through, but they seem to be a bit busy.”
Now Sam was starting to understand Quinn a bit more. Although the reasons did make
sense, it was
pushing it a little. There were better candidates such as Linda and Dennis to take over the
role of head
general. Both of these had experience leading factions.
They would be able to spot talent within the students and the military and if something was
to occur
they would also be able to lead them. That’s when Sam realised, he had brought Sil, Peter
and Fex. Sil
was a replacement for Vorden back then.
Finally, they had moved on to the last person.
“And what about….Actually I think this is a good choice, but I didn’t think you would pick
her?” Sam said
with his finger on his chin.
“That’s because he didn’t pick me, but I volunteered.” Helen spoke. “I knew you guys would
think I was
too busy with Daisy and helping out with the beast planets, but my sisters deal with most of
that stuff
anyway, so everything will be fine even if I’m away.”
For some reason, when Helen spoke, Quinn didn’t say much either, even though Sam was
waiting for
him to say something. Placing his hand over his neck and pulling him over to one side Sam
whispered.
“Hey, she isn’t blackmailing you or something into this is she, what’s wrong?” Sam asked.
“It’s not that, I just don’t really know how to deal with someone like her. She just came up
and said, I
know why Sam was talking about all that stuff. I want to be a part of that school. Then she
started listing
all the reasons why she would make a good head general and a teacher at the school. I just
froze and
said yes.”
Shaking his head Sam didn’t know what to do with this boy, or the strong headed girl, and
was
wondering if it really was good for the two of them to be working together.
“You’re going to break a lot of hearts in the future Quinn, just be ready for some revenge
from them.”
Sam said, patting him on the back.
“Huh, what are you talking about?” Quinn said, confused, as Sam returned to all the others.
“Alright, I guess that’s everyone then, I’ll send a message to Oscar and tell him who is
coming. Everyone,
it’s time to get ready.” Sam said.
My Vampire System Chapter 952: Pure's secret weapon
In an open land where the floor was an iron red, structures that had been built were
seemingly
destroyed all over the place. Nothing left but rubble. However, a single one stood tall and
strong out of
them all. A tower larger than anything in the entire area. The tower itself had exactly a
hundred floors
and down below at the very bottom of the tower, the sound of fighting, and more could be
heard.
Yet at the very top, on top of the tower itself looking down at everything around them, two
men were
sitting down.
“They sure like to fight, don’t they?” Arthur said.
“Of course, it’s in their nature you can’t stop it, you should know that by now. I’m more
interested in
you though. Are you sure about your decision? You’ve spent enough time thinking about it,
and I don’t
want you to regret your actions like you did before.” The man by his side said.
Gripping his fist, the sword on Arthur’s back started to vibrate.
“I’m sure.” Arthur replied. “Do you think everything will go well on your end?”
“It depends, it seems like the humans have built this new school. They’ve gotten their forces
together
but honestly fighting together or apart they’re no match for the Dalki. I’m sure you know
that as well.
My only concern is what he will do. He has been planning his move for hundreds of years,
which is why I
think your plan is best.”
Hearing this, Arthur grabbed his sword on his back, and he was debating whether to go
down to where
all the fighting was happening below, or even enter the tower himself. He just wanted to get
out all the
frustration that was felt in his body.
“Remember, if you find him I want you to keep him alive. I have a lot of things I want to ask
him.”
“Of course, a deal is a deal, you have my word.”
———
Inside the submarine itself, they had a large dome room that acted as an arena. Stands for
crowds of
people to sit and watch what would happen down below. However, even the arena grounds
had
another glass dome. Created to protect the onlookers from above.
On the arena floor, inside the glass dome, stood a man with wild red hair. His shirt had been
taken off
and tied around his waist, showing his ripped body full of scars.
“Come on, hurry up and get this place ready! If they arrive and this place is not ready, who
knows what
they’ll do to you. I’ll be fine but you guys…I wouldn’t want to be you in that situation.” Chris
shouted.
The shirt tied around his waist was flapping slightly, and the number one could be seen.
There were many members who were clearing the grounds, as it looked like a battle had just
taken
place. They were smoothing at the floor, filling in the cracks. It was a lot harder work since
there weren’t
many ability users in Pure, so everything had to be done manually.
Finally, in the stands at the far end, the door slid open and five people could be seen
entering the room.
Unlike Chris who didn’t like wearing his large white overcoat much, these members of Pure
almost
never walked around the base without them on.
The first two at front, one a female with a straight fringe that just reached her eyebrows, the
fringe of
her black hair followed all around and looked almost like a bowl had been placed on top of
her head and
the hair had been cut around it. On her overcoat the number three could be displayed
largely on her
back and the numbers on both of her shoulders.
The man next to her, wore a similar overcoat. Only that displayed the number two on it. His
distinctive
features were the pitch black sunglasses he would wear. As Chris looked at him, he was
wondering if he
ever saw Agent 2 without the sunglasses.
‘Hey, maybe he’s blind.’ Chris thought.
Agent 0’s hair was wholly white and it seemed it was naturally this colour from old age, but it
was hard
to tell how old he was due to their being hardly having any wrinkles on his forehead or eyes,
but when
one first would meet him, there was something noticeable about him that usually one
wouldn’t be able
to keep their eyes off of.
It was the four lines scared on the top of his forehead, going straight down as if a chart or a
counter of
some kind. They looked almost intentional, but no one dared to ask Agent 0 what the lines
were for.
Standing by his side, was someone Chris didn’t recognize, but there was one more behind
them, who
was Agent 4. All of the single digit agents, the founders of Pure had gathered in this room,
all because of
the stranger Agent 0 had brought with him today.
‘It’s a shame that Lucy isn’t here as well.’ Chris thought, as Lucy was also one of the founders
of Pure.
Looking around, the arena was ready and it was time for them to put on a show.
Chris went ahead, and joined the others up in the stand. Agent 0, along with the stranger
they had
invited was sitting down while the rest remained standing. Coming over, Chris decided to
just sit down
next to Agent 0, and took a peek at the stranger.
‘We went through all the trouble because of this guy, why is he so special?’ Chris wondered,
and he
couldn’t help, but try to sense the man’s aura.
“Don’t,” Agent 0 said. “It’s very rude of you to do such a thing, and he is our guest. Let’s just
get on with
the demonstration.”
Chris agreed with Agent 0, and decided to not try and see the man’s aura. He just thought if
someone
was so important, then Chris would have known who this man was based on their
appearance, but he
had never seen him before and had no clue who he was.
A fight between the two had begun and they started to display all the different uses of Qi
while fighting
each other.
“Qi, the energy known as life force, it differs from person to person.” Agent 0 started to
explain while
the fighting continued. “Throughout all my life I have studied this life force, and figured out
it controls
more than we think.
“During my time, we figured out that there are three stages of Qi that you are witnessing
today, but the
reason why I have invited you is to show a new stage of Qi. Something we call the fourth
stage of Qi. A
breakthrough if I do say so myself.
“We came to know that soul weapons are manifested in the body at a certain age, and their
power and
form is greatly dependent on the ability one will have, but members of Pure don’t have an
ability, so
does that mean we are unable to produce a soul weapon? For years we thought that to be the
case,
until we finally made a breakthrough, and this is what we call the fourth stage of Qi.” Agent
0 finished
explaining. And at that moment Chris raised his hand giving the two agents inside the
signal.
A huge force could be felt, and everyone there couldn’t keep their eyes off what they were
witnessing.
The whole room felt like it was shaking as the two powers collided, and finally, it had
stopped.
Agent 0 looked towards his guest to see his reaction but even after witnessing something so
great it
remained the same.
“The good thing about the fourth stage of Qi is that it is not needed to know the third stage,
which is
arguably the most difficult and not every person can learn. The stage of Qi you just
witnessed any
members of Pure can accomplish. So, what do you think?”
The guest didn’t give an answer straight away, and he looked down at the two humans below.
He then
closed his eyes and started to imagine. A few seconds later he finally spoke.
“Do you think this is enough to defeat the Dalki? They are far stronger than any of you can
imagine.” The
guest asked.
“I brought you here and showed you one of our greatest secrets, hoping you would come
over to our
side and help us. I have shown you a few things already that show you our power. If you
won’t support
us, then who will you support? The military, the Graylash family. You know none of them are
strong
enough to take on the Dalki.”
Standing up, the guest looked uninterested. He then started to walk towards the exit, and no
one tried
to stop him.
“Richard!” Agent 0 shouted. “Tell me, what are you thinking?”
The guest turned around as he heard his name being called out.
“Right now, I need to decide who has the best chance of defeating the Dalki, and will
support them.
There is an interesting group I have been keeping an eye on for a while. Perhaps I should pay
them a
visit. Before I make my decision.” Richard Eno said.
My Vampire System Chapter 953 – Planet Earth
Flying through space was a medium-sized oval spaceship. It had a clear front allowing one to
look at
everything outside. It was a vehicle designed to fit around fifteen or so people, one of the
many aircraft
onboard the Cursed spaceship.
Currently inside were all the members that were preparing to head back to earth and arrive
at their new
destination. On top of this, Sam had come along for now but would be returning after
dropping the
others off. A small brief was being given by him to everyone, and at the same time, they were
making
their final preparations.
Peter had formed his soul weapon in his hand, and Sil stood opposite him with his eyes
closed and his
body slightly shaking.
“What the hell are you scared of?” Peter asked. “The mask doesn’t hurt.”
“I know, but you’re going to shove it onto my face. Anyone would feel uncomfortable about
that. Why
can’t I just copy your ability?” Sil asked.
“Well, unless you want to come to see me every twenty-four hours, then I wouldn’t
recommend it. It
wouldn’t work anyway. Is there anyone you want him to look like, or am I free to choose?”
Peter asked
while looking over at Sam.
“Just don’t make him stand out too much, and don’t turn him into a girl. That would be a
little
uncomfortable.” Sam said.
Before Sil could even get ready, the mask was shoved onto his face. Sil attempted to grab his
hands, but
when they connected he realised that for some reason, he couldn’t copy Peter’s ability. He
didn’t pay
much attention in the past when Vorden was in control, but now he knew there wasn’t much
he could
do. However, as his body started to morph, he realised the whole process was painless and
let go. Once
everything was complete, he took a step back, touching his face.
“Do I look different?” Sil asked.
The sound of a slap was heard, and when they turned around, they could see it was Sam. His
forehead
was bright red. He had slapped his head too many times recently.
“Didn’t I say not to make him stand out?” Sam said.
“What? I just made him into a good looking chap. We want him to learn as many abilities as
he can,
right?” Peter said.
Essentially, there weren’t any massive changes that had been done to Sil’s body. He was still a
tall good
looking young lad. His facial features differed slightly, changing the shape of his eyes and
nose, but his
hair remained the same, apart from a change in colour from blonde to a light brown.
With Sil’s looks, he usually gathered attention anyway, and Peter didn’t want to go to the
effort of
changing him much. It was nearly impossible for him to come up with an entirely new
appearance, he
had to base it off others and he did so thinking of some of the people he had seen on the
Blade island.
“So, are you and Borden really not going to be with me?” Sil asked, looking at Quinn. He
looked down
with his shoulders slumped as if he was sulking.
“No, but remember I will be a teacher at the school so you can come to see me at any time.
But
honestly, I want you to talk to others and get used to it. It’s what Vorden and Raten would
have wanted.
Remember, Borden is busy teaching all the Blade children you saved from the island. Think
of it this way,
the more people you meet, the more chances we have of bringing Sil and Raten back.
“Besides, Chucky will be with you most of the time. He’s a member of the Cursed faction, so
if it ever
gets too much, just talk to him, and he will come over to us.” Quinn answered.
When Sil turned to look at Chucky, he smiled back at him, but Sil instead just stomped the
ground and
walked away as if he was disappointed by Quinn’s answer.
‘Why are they putting so much attention on this person that is acting like a child?’ Chucky
thought. Not
really knowing who Sil was. Only that he would regularly be invited to be at the table of the
Cursed
leaders.
Only those in higher positions had seen what Sil could do. Fortunately, the Broadcast also
didn’t show
much either, apart from the world leaders not wanting Sil to participate in the duel.
“Okay, looks like we are nearly there,” Sam said, looking at the map. He turned around to
face the
others. “Now remember, Quinn. You will not be known as Quinn when you arrive, but
instead, you will
now be known as Hardy.”
Hearing the name and alias Sam had given him, he was glad that Logan wasn’t the one
coming up with
them. Otherwise, he would have been stuck with the name Buinn.
“Remind me why I’m the only one using an alias?” Quinn asked.
“Because you’re one of the world leaders, you have to know your position now. Even the
other Head
Generals need to treat you with respect, and that’s not what we want. Everyone is on their
best
behaviour when they know they are being watched by the higher-ups. What we need is to
find out the
truth. They will just treat you differently if they know who you are.
“Everyone will think you are just a high ranking member from the Cursed faction having
taken this
position. The only one that knows who you really are is Owen and Oscar. Although Owen
won’t be
there, only those he has sent.”
“And you’re sure they won’t recognise me?” Quinn asked, attempting to look at himself, but
just looking
at his hands and legs, he felt hardly any difference at all.
“Quinn, I remember when I first saw you. Your appearance from back then, and the
appearance you
have now, are completely different. No one would believe the weak little nerd and the person
standing
in front of me, is the same person.”
“He’s right about that,” Helen commented, who had been sitting down staring out the
window the
whole time. “I’ve seen the photos, and the boy from before would get a four at best. While
the hunk in
front of me would be getting a ten out of ten. Although, you did have your own charms back
then.”
“Wow!” Fex said, looking at Quinn. “I thought I was the playboy of the group and not shy to
speak my
mouth, but it looks like I got some competition. Hey, I forgot to ask but, if Peter and Helen
are going to
be head generals, then what about me?”
“You,” Sam said. “Um, well you see, they have this class called arts and crafts, and I thought
your ability
really suited it, so I requested for you to be an arts and crafts teacher at the school. You know
people
need their hobbies as well.”
“Arts and crafts?” Fex replied, his excitement quickly dwindling as he imagined a bunch of
grandmas
sitting around, knitting.
“Remember they’re students, not grandmas,” Sam replied as if he could see what he was
thinking. At
times he thought he was dealing with a Nate 2.0. The only difference was, Fex could get the
girls he was
interested in. “So, are you ready, Hardy?” Sam asked.
“Yes, Head General Hardy is ready,” Quinn said.
Looking out of the glass window, they could see countless sh.i.p.s leaving and flying through
space as
they all got closer to one area in particular, and that area was none other than earth. Even
after all the
planets they had discovered through the beast solar system, there wasn’t one quite like
earth.
With its blue water, clear skies and green landmass. Earth was a unique place, and seeing it
like this,
from a distance, he understood why humans fought so hard to keep this place.
“I guess we’re finally going home,” Quinn said.
As they entered the earth’s atmosphere, the ship started to follow the flight path of the
coordinates
given. It flew over the blue sea, and the crashing waves could be seen, and finally, out in the
distance,
there was land.
On top of that land, a large school-like sculpture was seen. It was an incredible masterpiece
that could
be seen from afar. In the centre of all the square buildings, it had two titled large altars with
a levitating
circle ball in the middle.
Sh.i.p.s seemed to be lined up waiting to enter the island as strict border control was being
implemented.
“It’s impressive. I’m sure the military has some defensive measures as well, just in case the
Dalki chose
to attack. They wouldn’t prepare all this for no reason.” Sam said.
“Sure,” Quinn replied, but he knew it wasn’t a question of if. It was when. What Quinn didn’t
know was
some extra forces would be working with the Dalki.
My Vampire System Chapter 954 – The Head generals
Going through border control to get onto the island where the new base was located, was
quite the
headache in itself. However, while Quinn was away, special clearance badges had been sent
to those in
the Cursed faction. For Quinn, he had received two of these special passes.
One being a special platinum colour, this one was to be used for Quinn only, and was meant
to be kept
on him at all times. Although, one would think they would know what the world leaders of
the world
looked like. However, it was all for security in the end. It was common for those in high
positions to
either alter their appearance for certain reasons or many would attempt to imitate them.
What Quinn, Peter and Helen had also obtained was a gold pass that was given to Head
Generals. What
was unique about these passes were they were imprinted with the users DNA. Only when
being touched
by the owner would a small little symbol light up in the centre of the card to prove one was
the owner
and the card was meant for them.
The reason why the cards had to have such measures was due to the level of clearance and
access they
gave. Not only could they be used at this military base, but all the ones scattered on earth as
well as on
the shelters on other planets.
This was a way the military was claiming that they were more open compared to before,
hoping that
everyone could share information with each other. Now when attempting to connect to the
server, they
could use the special passes to access the server.
Not that this mattered much anyway, because the whole system had been created by the
Green family
in the first place, whatever information the Cursed family needed could be gathered by
Logan, but of
course the Cursed faction would keep this on the down-low.
As soon as showing the passes to those at the border, their treatment had changed
immediately, and
the guards on duty gave their ship a certain odd look before letting them pass and go on
ahead.
“What was that about?” Peter asked. He was pretty annoyed that it had taken so long until
they had
shown the passes. As the ship continued onward towards the school. Now that they were in
the city, the
spaceship had transformed itself to a land vehicle and was being escorted between two
larger vehicles
towards the school.
“I think it’s because of our ship.” Said Sam.
“Haven’t you noticed?” Helen said it, like it was obvious. “Now that all three families are
truly
cooperating with each other. It’s time for influential families, and those with close ties to the
top to
show off what they have. All the other spacesh.i.p.s are top tier. Basically, everyone is using
this as a
chance to show their wealth and power that they have.”
Peter was wondering why they had chosen this ship, when they had so many nicer ones on
board the
Cursed ship, but he assumed that it really didn’t matter. Who cared what spaceship one took,
as long as
it got you to place A to place B in a safe manner, what did it matter.
To him, it just sounded like a bunch of people who wanted to show off their connections and
power.
“Should have shown them your platinum card, I bet then they would have all bowed down to
you and
had a big fuss.” Peter replied.
“It’s fine, I’m still not used to all this leader stuff anyway.” Quinn replied.
The school was seen up ahead, and as they got closer, the sheer size of it just seemed to get
larger and
larger. However, it made sense, since this was a place that was meant to harbour all the
students from
every facility, for training. They would even be living here for a short while.
However, it was clear they were caring about the students because the school itself looked to
have
more resources spent on it, than the rest of the place.
“You can thank Logan for that.” Sam said, noting how much in awe Quinn was.
“What do you mean?” Quinn asked.
“The money and funding had to come from somewhere. Logan made a lot of money betting
on you
winning that fight that day, and a short while after he managed to recover the rest of the
Green funds.
He had more money than he could handle.
“This project has been in the works for a while, and Logan requested it would be put towards
the
students.” Sam explained.
“More money than he can handle that’s nice. Well, he has always sorted out the Cursed
faction funding
problems as well. Just how much money does that guy have?” Quinn thought, but quickly
remembered
that nearly every system they used today, not just games, had been created by the Green
family.
And apparently they had some tie in with the Dalki as well.
Soon, the guards opened up a teleporter, and asked for all of them to step through.
“I guess this is my goodbye for now.” Sam said. “We have the masks so you can communicate
with us
anytime you want. It would be best to talk to Oscar about setting up a teleporter in the
school that only
you can access. That way you can come back to the Cursed ship as soon as possible, and we
can come
here as well if there is any trouble.”
With that, everyone gave Sam a wave goodbye, and Quinn now realised that everything from
here on
out would be up to him.
‘At least you have had a lot of practice with the vampire council, all of this should be a walk
in the park
for you.’ Vincent said, but it wasn’t helping Quinn feel any better.
Each of them walked through the teleporter and they soon found themselves looking at a
large desk in a
room. Sitting behind the desk was the Supreme Commander Oscar. Behind him were
several large glass
pane windows. Through them one could see the whole school campus from above.
‘These leaders sure like their views, I guess it makes them have a sense that they are in
control of
everything.’ Quinn thought.
“Quinn, you finally made it.” Oscar said with a cheery smile. It was strange to have someone
happy to
see him even though they barely knew him.
However, Oscar’s personality towards Quinn was different compared to last time, and the
reason was
simple. Oscar knew that whatever Quinn did, whoever he had summoned that day, it was
because of
him that their lives were saved.
He owed Quinn and he would never forget that.
“I heard you had a lot going on, so I didn’t get to see you or thank you, as you can see I have
been busy
here myself. I have to say I never expected you to become a teacher yourself.” Oscar said.
“Neither did I, but I think this is important. This was where my life was changed, and I’m
sure it will be
true for many others as well.” Quinn answered back.
“Don’t be so uptight, there is no threat here, you can relax especially when you’re speaking to
me. You
can leave the formal stuff for later.
“I see you brought a few others along with you. Sam has made the request and my personal
assistant
will deal with them. For now the Head Generals and Sergeants are all waiting in the meeting
room down
below. Why don’t we all go and introduce ourselves? Don’t worry, you’re not the only new
ones that
have arrived. The whole military has had a lot of restructuring.” Oscar said.
The head generals, Quinn hadn’t seen many of them before, only once or twice during the
inter-base
tournament. He remembered that their school was considered one of the weakest of the
bunch, and no
one expected them to get far, but due to Quinn and Logan, their school had received a
higher position
than expected when the results came out.
‘The head generals were quite strong. Even Paul, before he was turned, had gone toe to toe
with Leo as
a vampire. In fact, it was more like Leo was losing, until we had captured most of his men
and he had
surrendered.
“I wonder what these head generals will be like.’ Quinn thought.
My Vampire System Chapter 955 – Getting rid of sc.u.m (Part 1)
Sil, Chucky and Fex were carted away by some of the staff. They would be briefed on their
lesson plan
and schedule and everything they needed to cover for the semester as students and teachers.
The meeting that Quinn, Peter and Helen were to attend was one between the higher up
staff of the
group. Of course, Sam could have requested at least Fex to be a higher staff member but had
completely
forgotten. Not that it mattered much anyway. As a teacher, he would have plenty of freedom
to see
Quinn whenever he wished, just not to be in on the big meetings between others.
As soon as Quinn arrived, Oscar was escorting Quinn and his group personally down to the
banquet hall
where the other higher military staff were waiting. The reason Oscar was waiting for Quinn
was because
in reality, these two carried the same rank. Of course he would be treating Quinn better
compared to
the rest of the Head Generals and he would have done the same if Owen had arrived as well.
The automatic doors slid open, and the sound of groups of people talking was seen, and the
first thing
that had caught Quinn’s eye was a giant chandelier. Everyone was eating food, while having
gathered in
groups. That’s when Quinn also noticed he and the others were the only ones in their
military uniforms
from the Cursed ship, while everyone else was dressed quite formally.
“This looks like a party for rich snobs,” Peter commented, and he wasn’t shy about hiding his
opinion
either.
“Think of it as a more formal gathering. Not everyone in this room is from the military. We
have
sponsors from big families as well as merchants and more.” Oscar said.
Quinn would often forget about this, that there were two forms of power, money and
strength.
Although usually having strength or a strong ability, money would naturally come with it.
However,
there were a few individuals that made use of their ability and were able to create products
for
everyday use in the current world.
The Green family was a good example of that, and there were a few families like the Green
family that
were protected by the military.
As soon as everyone noticed Oscar in the room, they stopped chatting and bowed down to
him as a sign
of respect.
“Don’t mind me, please continue on. This might be the only time we get to relax before the
semester
starts tomorrow.” Oscar said.
Everyone smiled and continued on with their talking.
“Alright, you three, first I’m going to introduce you to your co-workers. The three of you are
in charge of
military groups, as we call them, which were based on the old military bases of the past.
Quinn, you are
in charge of the second group, Peter, you will be in charge of the fourth, and Helen the sixth.
To help
you, you will all be assigned, six sergeants. Three of them will be in charge of the
non-students, while
the other three will help you with the students.”
After the short explanation, Oscar walked over to a certain group who were talking with each
other,
dining on the small pieces of food. There were three of them in total, and as soon as one of
them turned
around to look at who was coming towards them, Quinn’s heart started to beat louder.
“I would like to introduce you to the Head Generals that have come from the Cursed faction,”
Oscar said
with his hand held out, presenting them. “These three are sergeants of the second group.”
Although Oscar didn’t need to say that, Quinn already knew who they were, for at one point,
they were
teachers that had worked in his school from the past. There was Fay, the sergeant from
before who had
the ability of superspeed. Hayley, the school doctor who was actually Paul’s daughter and
finally,
Nathan. Who used to be one of the generals of the second military base.
‘I guess the reformation was to make the ranking a bit clearer and easier, and because of the
introduction of the Cursed faction and the Graylash family, technically Nathan has got a
demotion.’
Quinn thought.
The first thing they did was give a salute to show their respect to their Head Generals, but
then their
eyes all turned to Helen.
“I had heard of your feats before you became part of the Cursed family. Your power is
nothing to laugh
at.” Fay said, shaking her hand. “It would be an honour to work under someone like
yourself.”
“It’s unfortunate you lost the duel, I assume that Shadow power is an unpredictable power,
so it would
have been hard for anyone to beat it,” Hayley said. Having witnessed the event first hand.
“Hey, calm down, you two. It almost sounds like you don’t like the Cursed faction.
Remember Quinn was
a student from our school, and now he has become a world leader. It still seems so
unbelievable. We
should be proud, though.” Nathan added.
What they didn’t realise was that Quinn was right in front of them all. His nerves started to
settle down
a little after he realised that Sam was right. None of his old teachers had recognised him at
all.
It also seems they had all witnessed the duel and had been fans of the Daisy faction, which
was
expected since some would even consider them the fifth strongest faction after the big four.
The Cursed faction winning that duel was an upset.
“Hey, you idiots! Don’t you realise -” Peter was about to explode on them, but Quinn soon
stopped him,
pulling him off to the side.
“Oh, that’s right, it’s Peter isn’t it? You and Quinn were always close to each other.” Fay said.
“Don’t get
it wrong, we weren’t badmouthing him. It’s just really unbelievable what happened. It was so
sudden it
doesn’t feel real. While Helen had been running Daisy for years to get up to its position. It’s
natural that
there will be more people in awestruck meeting her than if they were to meet him.”
No matter how hard the sergeants of the past tried, they just couldn’t get the student image
of both
Peter and Quinn out of their heads. Even though they both now had higher ranks than
themselves.
“This is Hardy,” Oscar said, giving Quinn a little nudge. “He will be the Head General you
will be
following from now on. He is also planning to teach some lessons. As you three are part of
the student
department, I imagine you will be seeing each other a lot. Do your best to get along.
“Once you guys are done introducing yourself, come meet me again. By then, I’ll have all the
other Head
Generals together.” Oscar said, leaving them be.
Once they had learnt who would be their Head general, it was hard for the three of them to
hide their
disappointment. Each military group wanted to accomplish great things. With the students
and with the
whole group, they found it hard to imagine they could do so with Hardy.
The conversation between them and the other sergeants continued. Although they were
respectful,
most of their attention was focused on Helen. It was words of praise for her past
accomplishments and,
at the same time, almost apologising for the fact that they had to work for the Cursed
faction.
‘Is our reputation really that bad, or is it just because of how quick we have risen? People
think we still
need to prove ourselves.’ Quinn thought.
If this really was the case, then there wouldn’t be many students who would choose to come
to the
Cursed faction once they had ended their military studies. However, they would get those
that wouldn’t
be fit, or good enough for the other teams, and this thought in itself pleased Quinn a bit.
Finally, Oscar had gathered the other Head Generals and had come to get Quinn and the
others. He had
brought them together in a large circle, and it was quite obvious who was from what family
just based
on what they were wearing.
All those from the Graylash family wore their white robes they wore all the time, and one of
them, who
Quinn recognised, was Hector. One of Owen’s assistants was in charge of looking after the
Crow’s
faction. Quinn didn’t know the other two but thought they had to have been strong to have
been given
the position they were in.
As for the other three Head Generals that belonged to the military, they would have had to
have been
the best of the best. Since the other head generals had been demoted to make room for the
Cursed
faction and Graylash family.
Each of them was dressed in formal clothing rather than military clothing, which was suited
to their own
taste. As soon as Quinn and the others joined, the three from the military had looked the
Cursed faction
up and down and almost rolled their eyes back.
The arrogance and air around them reminded Quinn a lot of Duke, and the vampire leaders,
as if they
were above others. A problem that seemed to be persistent with those higher up in the
military.
‘It looks like some people don’t like us being here.” Quinn thought.
My Vampire System Chapter 956 – Getting rid of sc.u.m (Part 2)
Before Oscar could introduce everyone, it seemed like he had been called to handle
something and had
to leave the banquet hall in a rush.
“I hope everyone gets along. Introduce yourself to each other. You will all be working
together quite
closely from now on.” Oscar said as he left everyone.
It seemed like the Graylash family and the military generals had been talking for some time
before
Quinn had arrived, so their attention was focused on them.
“So, Oscar said your name was Hardy, correct?” One of the male head generals asked. His
hair was a
reddish-brown in colour and was quite long for someone in the military, going down to his
collarbone.
However, every once in a while, he would have this slight twitch that Quinn noticed, moving
his upper
lip.
“I don’t know much about the Cursed faction. However, I do know of Helen and of the
Zombie boy over
there, but you I have never heard of your name before?” The man said.
“I would have thought the Cursed faction had some old faction leaders they could have sent
here. What
are your accomplishments exactly?” The red-haired man asked.
Now that Quinn was closer, he recognised the three Head Generals a little more. Their
appearance
looked a little different to what he remembered, but that was due to him seeing them on TV
when he
was younger.
These three generals were also claimed to be part of the hero’s of war. Having great
accomplishments in
the war against the Dalki. However, they weren’t as famous as Leo or Oscar.
‘Is that why they seem to be a little arrogant?’ Vincent said. ‘I think they are asking of your
accomplishments only so they could boast about their own.’
Quinn agreed.
“I think this little trial Oscar is doing might prove to be a failure.” Another general from the
military
spoke. His hair was green in colour, and when looking closely, one could see that their
tongue was split
into two halves like a snake. “They have allowed the Graylash family and the Cursed faction
to make
three Head Generals. They trusted the other powerhouses, and they have chosen to assign a
nobody, or
maybe this is just the next best person the faction have got?”
Peter’s fist was clenching up by the second. He didn’t care who they were. Right now,
someone was
disrespecting their leader, thier group, everything they had worked hard for, and after
everything, they
had gone through.
“It seems like you have got his tongue-tied. The man can’t say anything because he hasn’t
even achieved
any accomplishments. Everyone knows that the Cursed faction bullied all the other factions
by using
those beasts. That’s how you rose to your position, and it doesn’t sit well with us. I’m sure
even Helen
here dispises working for you. Perhaps we could come to some sort of deal with you
barbarians, so we
can bring her over to our side.” The red-haired man said, but he wasn’t done thier. He could
tell that
thier were some onlookers around nodding in agreement with what he was saying, which
just spurred
him on further.
“Oscar, only has let you guys in, in the hopes to tame you, so that you don’t attack the people.
This is a
time when we should be working together to fight against the Dalki. And your faction
members
continued to attack each other all for your own gains!” The man continued to shout.
“I am not being held against my will, and I would much rather work with the Cursed faction
than a
broken military that can’t even trust the decisions of its supreme commander.” Helen piped
up. “The
Cursed faction is stronger than you think. I’m sure you know of the strength of my group
and my faction,
and even then, the Cursed faction was able to beat us. I assure you, anyone they have
assigned to the
position of Head General, would be able to make each of you lie on your back. Perhaps they
may even
fix your broken tongue while they’re at it.”
“What did you say?! I dare you to try to prove those words right now!” The split tongued
man shouted,
and it looked like he was about to use an ability of some sort as he raised his hand, but
before he could
even do so, it had already been stopped being held in place.
“Arghh!” The man screamed, and a few cracking sounds were heard from his fingers as they
were being
crushed by the sheer pressure.
“What do you think you’re doing? Did you just try to attack someone from our family!” Peter
shouted at
the man.
The scream and Peter’s words were so loud, that the others in the banquet hall were now
looking in
their direction.
Usually, Quinn would tell Peter to stop, but from what he had learnt in the past it was best
to put these
people in their place when he could.
The third general was a female with a long black ponytail that nearly touched the floor. She
noticed
something at this point. She could see Quinn’s eyes starting to glow red and took a step back
from the
other two, she was debating whether to warn them or not, but a shiver was entirely sent
down her
spine.
“You want to know what type of power the Cursed faction have,” Quinn said, looking at the
two of them
with his eyes glowing red. At this point, Peter had let go of the man’s crushed hand and
smiled in
anticipation for what was about to come next.
“Both of you, kneel!” Quinn ordered, and a few seconds later, as if their body was being
forced, they
dropped to the ground and were on their knees.
From the outside, the onlookers had no clue what was happening and only saw that two of
the Head
Generals were kneeling in front of another, but it was one that they didn’t recognise.
“What is going on? Do they know that person?” Fay asked, looking from the side. “None of
us
recognised him.”
“No, look at the struggle on their faces.” Nathan pointed out, “It must be some ability of
some sort.
They’re being forced.”
“Should we go do something, isn’t that our Head General?” Hayley asked.
However, Nathan was interested in the person he would be taking orders from, from now on
and
decided to let things play out.
“You talk about working together, and then you attempt to attack us before finding out more
about us.
You know nothing about the Cursed faction, and all of you tried to drag our name through
the mud.
“Let me tell you, the reason we are here is to get rid of the sc.u.m in the military, and I
haven’t quite
made up my mind yet if you two fit that role.” Quinn continued to speak, but it wasn’t in a
soft voice.
Everyone around could hear as well.
“The Cursed faction are here to get rid of sc.u.m. What do they mean?” People started to
gossip around.
The two on the ground could be seen trying to struggle, trying to fight whatever was
happening in their
bodies, but they could do nothing as they were forced to stay on the ground.
“You, you are attacking us in front of everyone!” The red haired man continued to shout.
“Don’t speak,” Quinn ordered again, and now the two of them couldn’t even open their
mouths.
‘This boy seems to have a darkside.’ Helen thought, looking at him, and l.i.c.k.i.n.g her lips
slightly.
Quinn had simply had enough of this behaviour through his life, and it was the same in the
vampire
settlement. The thing was now, there was no reason he had to take it. No one they had to
complain to.
“I apologise on Head General Innu, and Head General Sach’s behalf.” The female general
said, getting
down on one knee. “You are right, I believe they were quite hostile towards your faction from
the start.
Please I hope you can forgive them and let them go. I hope that all the Head Generals can
get along.”
Hearing her say these words, calmed Quinn down a little. He turned around and decided to
leave the
room, while Helen and Peter soon followed.
Everyone quickly moved away from them, allowing them to pass for fear that they would be
attacked as
well.
“This might just make our reputation even worse, you know?” Helen said as they left the
room. ‘What
was that ability of his that he used just now, it wasn’t part of the shadow?’
“It’s okay, people will find out the truth in the end, but I can’t forgive anyone that tries to
attack my
family right in front of me,” Quinn said.
The Cursed faction had made quite the impression on their very first day.
My Vampire System Chapter 957 – Disappointment
It didn’t take long for word to get out about what the Cursed faction had done to the other
head
generals. Especially since it was done to those in the military. One of them had a crushed
hand that
needed to be healed, while the others were supposedly kneeling behind and looked like they
were on
the verge of holding back their tears, or so the rumours said.
Because of the news spreading around so quickly, the three head generals that had been
involved were
called into a meeting with Oscar himself. Currently, all three of them were standing in front
of him
having given their reports of the event that had occurred.
“Those people from the Cursed have no respect. We never raised a finger against them. Yet
they go
around abusing their power like that and at a gathering of all things!” Innu, the red-haired
general,
complained.
Oscar let out a big sigh. He didn’t think there would be problems. It wasn’t even the first day
of the
school semester. However, sometimes this is what happens when a bunch of hot-headed
fools were
placed in the same room together.
Oscar knew that based on the military. Due to them giving positions out based on strength
and ability
often things like this would happen. What they didn’t know was the person they were
messing with,
Quinn, was far stronger than both of them.
“I have heard your complaints, both of yours. My advice to you both would be to ignore this
event for
the sake of humanity’s future. The Cursed faction, the Graylash family, and the Earthborn
coming
together and cooperating is essential to our survival. Do you understand?”
Both of the men looked at each other, gripping their hands tightly. They were hoping Oscar
might act
out against them, do something like he would have done in the past. However, it almost
sounded like
they were the ones getting a slap on the wrist while the Cursed faction received nothing for
their
humiliation. They reluctantly agreed and nodded towards Oscar.
“We understand.’ they both said, leaving the room.
“Samantha, would you mind staying behind,” Oscar ordered, and the other two left the
room.
“I hope I can trust you to tell me the real tale of events. It seems you didn’t quite agree with
the story
they told. I mean they didn’t really let you speak.” Oscar said.
Samantha, the third head general that was there at the time explained everything that had
happened.
She told them how the two were disrespectful to the Cursed faction. However, what she
didn’t manage
to catch was that one of her own, was about to use an ability on Helen.
In her eyes, the ones that had attacked first were the Cursed faction, with Peter having
crushed one of
their own fingers.
“Thank you, I thought it would be something along those lines.” Oscar replied. “You are free
to leave.”
However, before leaving Samantha wanted to ask her own questions.
“Supreme commander, if I may speak.” She asked, and Oscar was listening keenly. “The man
known as
Hardy. He was somehow able to force those two to do his bidding.. It looked like they
couldn’t move and
everything he said it was as if their bodies were being forced to listen to that order. I was
afraid at the
time if he had told them to kill themselves they would have compiled.
“It was the first time I had ever seen two head generals being so powerless in front of another.
Who is
the person the Cursed family has sent to us?” Samantha asked. What she was also thinking,
was if the
Cursed family had someone this powerful under their control, what of their leader.
Of course, Oscar had been told to keep Quinn’s identity a secret and he actually thought
this was a good
idea himself. Ever since Truedream’s disappearance, although the military had gotten their
act together
there were more cases of infighting than ever. As those with strong abilities refused to listen
to those
above.
Still, he was thinking about the multiple things he saw Quinn do, not just the shadow or the
red aura
ability he seemed to have but Quinn’s background and identity was so secretive.
Information could only
be found out about him and his parents and never went further back then that.
Turning around, Oscar went to look at the whole school once more as he gave his answer.
“I don’t really know who that person is, and I don’t know much about the Cursed faction.”
Said Oscar.
“However, I can tell you what I think. I think we should do everything we can to make sure
that person is
on our side.”
———
The next day was the opening ceremony for the new school. All the first year and second
year students
based on their age had already had their introduction and had received their uniforms.
However, there was a big difference this time compared to the last, although each of them
wore
watches on their wrist, there was no power level being displayed for everyone to see.
At the moment, a large temporary stage had been built, one the size of a large concert. On
top of that
there were multiple screens all facing towards one direction that would allow everyone to
see what was
happening no matter how far they were.
The students stood in the centre of the school, where the large open field was surrounded by
all the
different buildings coming from different directions. To just get from one end of the green to
the other it
looked like it would take half an hour.
The students, and been split up into nine groups. They were unaware of why this was the
case or what
was happening today, only that an opening ceremony was to be held and to start it off, was
none other
than Oscar.
As he took to the stage the crowd of students cheered loudly. It seemed like his reception
was mostly
positive. Despite the fact that these students had come from all sorts of different factions.
They still
knew him as a war hero from the last war.
Oscar started to give them a grand speech about what war was like and why it was important
for the
students to attend. He also gave them a breakdown of what they would learn and finally he
had
mentioned about the housing system.
How the nine groups they were in now, would be split into three different houses. The
Cursed house,
Graylash house, and the Earthborn house. Being in a house didn’t mean you would have to
join that
group once you left the military. It meant two things, points would be assigned to houses
based on good
behaviour scores and sporting events.
The second, was which head generals would lead certain houses, as the generals would
correlate with
the house they were in. For example if they were in the Cursed house, those students would
either be
under Quinn, Peter or Helen.
The groups of students were eventually told what house they belonged to, with house 2, 4
and 6
belonging to the Cursed house. Hearing this news, there were some students that were
annoyed while
others were indifferent as they realised it didn’t matter too much.
Groups 1,3 and 5 belonged to the Earthborn house, while the last remaining groups 7, 8 and
9 belonged
to the Graylash family.
“Now that all introductions are complete, it’s time to meet your Head generals in person.
Any problems,
concerns you want to raise you need to talk to these people. They will help you carve your
future.”
Oscar said, as he left the stage.
Soon, an announcer was being heard coming from the stage, and lights started to flicker in
all sorts of
directions as if a real concert was about to begin.
“First introducing your head general of the first family from the Earthborn group. Samantha
Reeves!”
The announcement said.
Coming out to the stage Samantha waved at the crowd below. She stomped with her feet
along the way,
and pieces of earth were lifted to the ground. Moving her hands she joined the pieces of
earth to create
a large dragon like sculpture. It seemed so real and so alive. Soon after she started to swirl it
around her
body and when her little show was done, she dropped it to the floor.
“Did you see how skilful she was using her earth ability?”
“Yeah, she could carve and control the earth like it was a real dragon, it didn’t even look to
have any
cracks in it or anything. How much control does she have?” The students were amazed.
This continued with each general of those in charge of the Earthborn group coming out, and
each time
they would display their powers in an amazing way.
Next, were the Graylash family, and they seemed to have done the same as well.
“Do we have to do something flashy?” Quinn asked, showboating wasn’t really in his nature.
“I thought with you being closer to their age you would understand more.” Helen replied.
“They need to
be inspired and amazed. What better way to make them listen, by showing what hard work
and
dedication can lead to. It’s also a way to show our groups power. Just think, what would you
have
wanted to see when you were at school.” She said, and soon her name had been called up as
well.
Helen, seemingly walking on to stage as confident as ever, then raised her hands and at the
same time,
several plants had risen from the ground in place. The camera then revealed from above,
that the plants
had made a special love heart, while all the plants were different colours. To finish it off, she
brought all
the plants together, raising up a gigantic one behind her that looked like a serpent with a
giant pink rose
head.
“Ahhh!” Girls started screaming. “It’s Helen from Daisy, isn’t she amazing!”
The next name that was to be called to the stage was Peter, and as he walked over with his
hands in his
pocket. He stared at them all for a while, and the crowd had gone silent.
Finally, he started to do something, as he raised a single arm in the air.
‘Maybe I can get an idea of Peter?’ Quinn thought, but that idea was quickly chucked out of
the window.
My Vampire System Chapter 958 – A speech
Seeing Peter stand there giving a fierce look at the crowd, the students were wondering just
what feat
or show he would put on for the rest of them and Quinn was as well.
‘I guess he would show his impressive transformation ability and start selecting students
from the
crowds. Although then the other heads would know that was something he could do, but
Nathan should
know his ability already based on what happened last time.’ Quinn thought.
Nathan already knew of Peter’s ability to transform into others, because he had once been
caught being
disguised as a student that was supposedly dead but when that dead student was found to
be very
much alive, Peter had a difficult time after that.
However, what they had also witnessed was his incredible healing abilities. Which was why
back then
Nathan, Duke and Truedream thought they had witnessed a first of its kind. A human that
could hold
two abilities or more.
For they had even given Peter the Earth ability book to learn and had seen him display some
of those
skills as well.
There were many theories of how this was possible, perhaps Pure had successfully created a
unique
body, Peter could have had a unique body himself or it could have been an ability like that of
Vorden at
the time.
‘We may never find out now.’ Nathan thought. “You have reached a position far too high,
whereas
previously you could have been forced to share your secrets, and your Faction sent a clear
message
yesterday, including you. You are ready to fight back at any time.’
Finally, Peter seemed to be doing something as he held one of his hands up in the air, and
soon he
grabbed it with the other. Within seconds, a cracking sound was heard, and his arm had
gone limp,
flopping about.
His facial expression never changed, even though he was now standing there with a broken
arm, one he
had broken himself.
Some of the students couldn’t look at the flapping arm any more, imagining the pain it had
to have
caused and were forced to look away.
“Does this guy feel no pain? I mean could you break your own arm like that?”
“He’s crazy, can’t you see it in his eyes!? I knew something like this was going to happen
when he
stepped on the stage.”
In mere seconds though, the arm started to heal in front of everyone and was good as new.
They had
just witnessed a healing speed that seemed impossible in front of their very eyes.
“Now, for my next display.” Peter said, positioning his hand into the form of a karate chop.
‘Is he going to cut off his hand?’ Quinn thought, as he imagined the horror. “Peter stop.”
Quinn shouted.
It was heard from those on the stage. But it was too far for any of the students to hear.
Not performing his second half of the trick, Peter started to walk off the stage and a round
of applause
slowly started.
Through his strange actions he had won the students over and they were quite impressed.
Sach, one of the Head Generals of Earthborn, looked at his fingers for a few seconds, and
could
remember the tight grip around them. ‘He doesn’t just have super healing abilities, was he
wearing
beast gear underneath his clothes?’
Although that night, it didn’t look like anyone was wearing any beast gear, in his head it was
the only
thing that made sense.
Finally, the last announcement was ready to be made, and Quinn knew it was his turn to do
something.
He was hoping for some inspiration from Peter’s act, but that didn’t inspire him at all.
“Please welcome your Head General of the second group. Hardy Flynch!” The announcer
said.
Hearing this name, the students tossed and turned their heads, to see if anyone in the crowd
knew who
they were. Although Peter hardly had any fame, there were a few that had seen him in the
inter-base
military tournament. Everyone they had seen so far at least one person had heard of their
name, but for
this person, it wasn’t the case at all.
They thought maybe when they saw him, but when they saw him walk onto the stage, they
were even
more dumbfounded about who this person was.
While the students seemed to not care for who this person was, they started talking
amongst each
other. It was the last thing before the ceremony was to end, and they were excited to see
their rooms
and more, and since the last person didn’t seem to be anyone of great importance the
chatting had
started.
However, the generals and sergeants that were all on stage were keeping a very close eye on
him. After
seeing what this person could do. Even the Graylash family were concerned after all, any
human could
become a possible threat in the future.
‘Show us what you’re going to do?’ Innu thought. ‘Are you going to get them all to shut their
mouths, to
stop speaking like you did with us.’
Looking at the students, Quinn could see that not all of them were chatting with their new
friends they
had made. Not all of them looked confident, some seemed frightened, nervous of their new
school and
Quinn had even spotted Sil out there amongst them. These students reminded him of how
he had felt.
Helen’s words played through his head. ‘Think what you would have liked to have seen when
you were
younger.’ With that, a smile spread across his face and he knew what ‘He’ would have wanted
to see
back then.
“School is a life changing place. At such a young age your actions now decide your future,
but you are
only young. How are you meant to know that now is the most crucial time of your lives, or
how are you
meant to know what you want to do when you are older?
“Your goals, your friends and the people around you will change as you grow up. These are
things that
you can change and there might be some things you can’t change. However, when I was in
your
position, standing where you were today, I was a level one student who had no ability. And
now I am
where I am today.
“I hope you all can see that if someone like me can do it, then all of you can as well, and I
will be here to
make that possible.”
As Quinn started to speak, the crowd got quiet listening to his words. His voice was being
projected by
special equipment so everyone out on the field could hear.
“A speech, a speech talking about how weak he was?” The students were disappointed to say
the least.
“Does he not have any powers, or anything that he can show, is that why he wanted to talk
about how
weak he was.”
“Maybe all the other generals showed him up so he felt like he couldn’t show his powers.”
Of course Quinn could have displayed his powers, he could have even shown his Shadow
powers and
claimed he was a student of the Cursed leader, Quinn. However, Quinn wanted to show that
people in
high positions of power shouldn’t just have strong abilities.
He wanted to put hope in those that didn’t have a strong ability. Of course, after the students
had been
told all their lives that their abilities matter and the stronger ones were important it would
be hard to
change this mindset.
Quinn didn’t mind all the words that were being spoken about him, it was his goal to change
their mind.
Soon though, the sound of loud clapping could be heard. Single claps coming from one
person, and it
was coming from the side.
“That was a great speech..Whooo! Go on, best performance yet I would say compared to all
these guys
that just wanted to show off. That’s a real teacher right there!” Peter shouted loud and clear
to
everyone.
Although Peter was doing this in support of Quinn, he also did it because he was genuinely
touched by
Quinn’s words. Back then, he too was frightened, nervous and felt like a path had already
been
predetermined for him, it felt like Quinn was speaking to him.
Soon after, Helen was seen clapping as well, and the students slowly began to clap, but it
wasn’t an
applaud but rather just out of habit.
‘Quinn I wonder if you really can do what you say. It might be a lot harder than you think.’
Oscar thought
looking at the students’ disgruntled faces.
My Vampire System Chapter 959 – Strongest Teacher
After introductions were complete, students were to return to their dorms to find out where
they would
be staying and it was a chance for a lot of them to communicate with each other and get to
know
everyone better.
In the meantime, Quinn was getting a briefing from Nathan, about what classes he would be
teaching
and when his schedule would be. He was given all of this information on a tablet screen he
could access.
“It’s pretty rare for a head general to also be a teacher, but Oscar has said that if you need to
attend to
any duties outside, not just for you but the rest of your Faction, just to inform us as soon as
possible and
we’ll find a replacement.” Nathan finished explaining.
Looking at the schedule, Quinn noticed a couple of things. He had been put as a Homeroom
teacher, so
he had his own class that he had to look after, on top of that he was allowed to teach one
subject of his
choice, and before arriving he had chosen to teach the beast weapon class.
Having attended the class in the past himself, and Leo being the one who had taught it,
Quinn thought
he could follow in his footsteps quite well. Due to him learning Qi, he realised teaching the
process on
how to activate a beast weapon was quite simple, and he could also teach things like hand to
hand
combat when one wouldn’t have a weapon.
Looking at the list of students Quinn had, he noticed a couple of things. The first was the
fact that Sil and
Chucky were in his class as requested. This was good because although Quinn wanted Sil to
stop relying
on him, it was important to take small steps.
With someone as strong and unstable as Sil at times, it would also be good to keep an eye on
the
person, and he was sure Chucky wouldn’t be enough to do that.
The other thing that stood out though, was the students’ ability levels. Although the other
students
weren’t able to see their power levels right off the bat, Quinn did have a list of information
that had
been given from their previous school.
The main shock was, apart from Sil and Chucky, there were no ability level users in his class
above that
of level three. There were even some level ones, and even a student with no ability at all.
‘Did they stop handing out the earth books? Or did the student simply reject the offer?’
Quinn thought.
However, his main concern was with the amount of low levels in his class. Back when he
attended
military school, there was quite an even spread in all of the classes.
There were times when classes would have events against each other, and this would make it
unfair. ‘Is
it a coincidence? It can’t be?’ Quinn thought.
———
At the same time, there was another person questioning Oscar’s very decision. Standing by
his desks
was his personal assistant, Jane. Her old position was testing all the new students’ power
levels and she
had even done so with Quinn.
She too had noticed that Oscar had done something with his class and had asked him the
very same
question.
“Don’t you think it will be interesting?” Oscar replied. “Quinn who was once a level one and
Peter, both
of them weak, had gained a sudden strength out of nowhere somehow. So what do you think
would
happen if we put him in a class full of low level ability students.
“Do you think Quinn would be able to stand by and do nothing while the students in front
of him are
struggling with this world? We may even find out their secret.” Oscar said, leaning back in
his chair.
——
It took the entire day for students to have a tour around the school, being shown their living
quarters
and where every place was meant to be. Luckily, if they couldn’t remember everything, their
watches
also acted as a 3D holographic map that would pinpoint where they were and would tell
them where to
go if needed.
After a full day of touring, it meant the next day it was time for the lessons to begin. Quinn
had made
way to his homeroom class which was labeled as 2A. As the head general he was technically
in charge of
all the classes labeled with a two at the front, but he was also the assigned homeroom
teacher for 2A.
Looking at the door, he could see the digital number staring back at him 2A, and for the first
time, he
would be teaching. For some reason it felt a little more nerve racking then compared to
some dangers
he would face.
‘I guess the students have decided to play a little prank on me? I guess I can forgive them
since it is the
first day and all.’ Quinn thought as he placed the bucket on the front of his desk.
Some of the kids that were behind the prank were quite amazed, they had done that trick
with their old
teacher but he would be hit nearly every single time, but they didn’t even see Quinn move
and he was
suddenly holding the bucket.
“Did you see what happened?” Venus asked.
“No, but maybe it has something to do with his ability that he didn’t show.” Swin replied.
Swin, and Venus were two boys who saw themselves as the trouble makers of the class.
Unlike before
where students were sent to different campuses so they wouldn’t know each other, now that
everyone
was part of the same gigantic school there was more of a chance that one would know their
classmates.
This was true for both Swin and Venus. Of the two boys, one with long hair covering the
front of his
eyes, one would think he couldn’t see through them, which was Swin. While the other, who
had his
hairline so far back, he might have not had any hair to begin with.
Quinn started with the first task which was to take the attendance from the register list,
making sure
everyone was present in class. There were roughly fifty students in the class, and he noticed
while
calling their names the students were awfully chatty and at the same time weren’t really
paying any
attention.
‘This is nothing like when I attended?’ Quinn thought. ‘Everyone was so strict and worried
about what
the other stronger students would do.’
Thinking about it, Quinn wondered if this had something to do with their behaviour.
‘It would make sense.’ Vincent said. ‘Something similar has happened like this before when I
was a
leader. I believe this is a similar effect of what happens to some vampires in the pooling area.
They don’t
care about school, or rankings anymore because they are so far down the ladder. They have
no hopes of
ever climbing it. So they resort to pranks and messing around as they see no hope in their
future.’
Although Quinn thought what Vincent said made sense, he also thought they all couldn’t
have thought
this way, or possibly some of them just needed a little push.
‘Would I have felt the same way if I had never opened that book?’ Quinn wondered.
At that moment, a pen was sent flying towards Quinn, as he was looking down at his class
register list.
Out of instinct, as the attack moved towards him, he stopped it with two of his fingers
holding it in
place.
“Okay, so we’re done with the register here, now who’s pen does this belong to so I can
return it to
them?” Quinn asked with a short smile.
The other students, for some reason, could feel something sinister coming behind this smile,
and Swin,
who was sitting next to Venus, had pulled away, making it obvious who it was.
“Now, before I send you off to your next lessons, here are a few things some of you need to
do.” Quinn
said. “You have to select what classes you would like to attend, and I just want to let
everyone know
that I will be the one teaching the beast weapons class.”
Some students were surprised by this, as they thought someone like Hardy would never
teach a combat
class.
“Just to show some of you what I can do.” Quinn said, as he hurled the pen back towards
Venus.
The other students started to rub their eyes, as this looked like something that wasn’t
possible, but they
could see the pen there, stuck in the wall.
“I hope I can see some of you there.” Quinn said.
The introduction class continued for a while, and both Venus and Swin looked at each other.
“Hey, maybe we should give that beast lesson thing a try.” Swin said.
‘I think I might have this teacher thing down.’ Quinn thought with a smile.
My Vampire System Chapter 960 – No ability, take mine
After the incident with the pen, there were less disturbances and Quinn was allowed to go
through and
explain everything that was needed. He hated to admit it, but sometimes force, or a show of
strength,
was one of the best deterrents. At least it was for the way things were now.
Quinn went through the process of how school life would be for them, and the different
classes they
could attend. Explaining the benefits of each one and answering any questions the students
had. Soon
after, the students were to select what classes they would like to attend and if their request
was
accepted, then their schedule that was linked to their watch would automatically update.
After everyone had selected their classes based on the information Quinn had given, the
sound for the
morning class had gone off, and students were now free to head to their next lesson.
“Before you all leave, can I speak to Shiro please for a little bit.” Quinn asked, and the other
students
soon left.
However, as they walked past their desk there were two students who had stopped to look at
Quinn and
they had stars in their eyes.
“Mr. Hardy!” Swin called out. “That thing you did with the pen was amazing. Can we do
something like
that as well if we attend your class?”
“Don’t be stupid Swin, that was obviously an ability.” Venus argued. “So do you mind telling
us what
your ability is? You hid it on the first day because you didn’t want to show off right.”
Quinn honestly didn’t know how to deal with this. The two kids were leaning over his desk
and couldn’t
stop staring at him expecting some grand answer. The truth was, even if they attended his
beast
weapons class, those kids probably couldn’t do something like that.
He could do so just because of his strange vampiric strength.
“If you want to learn something like that, you will have to put in a lot of hard work.” Quinn
said with a
serious face and his arms crossed, trying to give an impression of a teacher.
“That’s amazing!” Venus replied as the two of them started to head towards the exit. “We’ll
see you at
the beast weapons class then.” They called out and waved goodbye.
‘I guess inspiring some of them might be easier than I thought.’ Quinn said, quite happy
based on the
reaction of the two students.
Once all the students had left though, Shiro was left behind. Shiro was a boy who had brown
hair that
stuck upwards with three large spikes, but from Quinn’s first impression he didn’t seem like
a trouble
maker.
While in class, he didn’t speak to anyone and he seemed to be diligently taking notes, but
there was a
reason why Quinn had called him off. Sitting down so the two of them were more
comfortable, Quinn
decided to throw the question out there.
“There’s no need to be worried, you’re not in trouble or anything.” Quinn said, noticing
Shiro’s
nervousness over having been asked to stay behind. “I was just a little curious. It’s actually
rarer to have
someone like you in the class than it is to have an original. I was wondering, didn’t the
military offer you
the standard earth book? Your file says you have no ability.”
Shiro, was the one student in Quinn’s class that had no ability, just like himself back then.
“I rejected their offer.” Shiro replied politely.
“You don’t have to tell me, but may I ask why?” Quinn asked. There was silence for a few
seconds, so
Quinn decided to push it a bit further. “The reason I’m asking is because I was the same as
you.
Throughout my whole school life I didn’t have an ability, and it was only midway through
the military
that I gained mine.” Quinn led but it was almost the truth.
It seemed like Quinn’s little push had worked, since Shiro had answered.
“I need a better ability than that if I want to get somewhere.” Said Shiro. “Not to offend you
in the
Cursed faction, but I was hoping I could prove my way somehow so I could get the ability of
the Graylash
family.”
Now it made sense why he would reject the ability, but at this age, it was almost impossible
to prove
one’s worth without having an ability in the first place. Without connections or showing
promise there
would be no way for the Graylash family to recruit him.
If he had an ability, at least he could join one of the factions belonging to the Graylash
family, and as a
reward they might award his next of Kin with the ability. However, sadly it was unlikely that
Shiro would
ever get such an ability.
“I think I know the answer, but may I ask why?” Quinn said.
“Because, I need to become strong, and their ability is the strongest out there.” Shiro replied.
Speaking to the boy, and seeing the determination in his eyes. It reminded Quinn a lot like
himself at his
age.
“Alright, you’re free to go, but before you do I just want to tell you something. Maybe there
are other
abilities out there that are stronger than the Graylash ability, so if you can’t get that far. Don’t
give up.”
Quinn said.
From initial impressions, the boy was a good candidate to attempt to teach the Shadow
ability to.
However, Quinn wasn’t just going to teach him because he could. Quinn wanted someone
who wished
to join the Cursed group.
Right now, Shiro wasn’t that person, but it didn’t mean he would never be.
At the moment, Quinn had no lessons, and he was struggling with what to do with his spare
time. So he
decided to meditate and focus on increasing his Qi. Soon though, time started to pass by
quickly and the
bell went off once again, signalling it was time for lunch.
The food was provided by that of the school, but Quinn couldn’t eat the food anyway. The
only reason
why he was actually heading to the canteen was to meet up with the others as they had
agreed.
The teachers and students canteen were separated, so Quinn wouldn’t be able to see how Sil
was doing.
But based on his class, all he had seen Sil do during Homeroom class was place his head on
the desk and
stay in the same position.
When entering the canteen, Quinn could see that Fex, Peter and Helen were sitting together,
so he
decided to go ahead and join them on the round table.
“Don’t tell me you’re not eating as well.” Helen said, as she saw Quinn sitting down with no
tray of food.
“Are all the boys on a diet these days? It’s going to make me feel shy if I’m the only one
eating.” She
said.
Each of the boys didn’t really know how to answer that, and Quinn tried to change the topic
straight
away.
“So, how has your first lesson been?” Quinn asked.
“The kids have been great with me, although they asked far too many questions about the
faction.”
Helen replied, as she carefully ate her food making sure none of it would spill as to
embarrass herself.
‘I guess even she has her cute side.’ Quinn thought.
“I didn’t teach any lessons yet.” Peter replied. “I think they said I was just going to be an
assistant
anyway, which means I will just stand at the back unless someone needs me.”
In a way, the others thought it was a good thing that Peter wasn’t the lead teacher. They
hadn’t been
keeping an eye on him when he taught the Blade kids, but just assumed he had been doing
well since
none of them complained. However, after witnessing his performance from earlier, they
were a little
frightened as to what he would do.
“I had my class.” Fex said. “And it was actually quite interesting. It seems like a lot of girls
had signed up,
and well they just kept asking me to personally teach them so many things.” Fex said, as he
pushed his
hair back and had a cheeky smile on his face.
“Oh I see, so you’re taking advantage of these young girls just because you’re quite the looker.”
Said
Helen.
At this moment, Fex’s face had gone bright red. He thought he was being quite sly, but he
wasn’t.
Everyone knew he was bragging in his own way, but just didn’t call him out on it, while
Helen did.
“Hey, you have to remember, they’re actually nearly the same age as me, and I’m not doing
anything.”
Fex replied.
“Well, if you didn’t think you were doing anything wrong you wouldn’t have gotten so
defensive just
now, would you?” Helen replied again, and Fex had nothing to reply back to that.
After that, the group continued to talk and there was a relatively nice atmosphere between
them all. For
once, Quinn imagined his life as it was currently. Maybe being a teacher wasn’t so bad of a
choice for
him.
If there was no war going on, if there were no abilities and he had a better school life,
perhaps this
would have been a career choice for him.
Quinn had one more registration to do with his homeroom class and soon after, he would
teach his
beast weapons class in the afternoon. Upon returning to his classroom, he could see his
students were
there waiting.
But some of the students were gathered around a few others, and when Quinn had entered
they quickly
left.
“What happened!” Quinn asked.
As he could see, several of his students were beaten and bruised, including the likes of Shiro,
Venus and
Swin.
“Oh this, don’t worry too much about it, teach.” Swin said, holding his eye, and speaking
through his
busted up lip. “Just kids being kids. We just got into an argument with one of the other
classes, but don’t
worry about it.”
Seeing them like this, had brought a wave of emotions and memories crashing down for
Quinn.
“Tell me, who did this to you now.” Quinn said, unable to control his anger and without
realising it, his
eyes were glowing red as he gave this command.My Vampire 961
My Vampire System Chapter 961 – The caring teacher
Quinn was so consumed with rage as the bad memories started to surface in his mind again,
that he was
completely unaware, that when he had asked a question to one of his own students, he had
used the
influence skill on him.
Being only a young student with hardly any mental strength, there was almost no resistance
at all, as
Swin’s eyes appeared to hollow out and he answered.
“The students from class 3B, it was a group of six of them.” Swin answered and soon his eyes
regained
colour once again.
‘Quinn!’ Vincent snapped at him in his mind.
Coming to, Quinn realised what had happened, it wasn’t the first time his influence skill
had leaked out
when his emotions were out of control. It was almost as if his body was more in charge than
his mind
was when that happened.
“Oh, sorry about that.” Quinn quickly apologised, but the students in the room were scared
into silence.
To a lot of them, their new teacher seemed calm, relaxed, and quite friendly. It was the first
time they
had seen him be so serious and many of the students had seen the red hue in his eyes.
There was no way of ignoring what had already happened unless Quinn wanted to mind
wipe the
students, but this was no longer an option for him because of what happened with Cia. He
thought it
would be best to apologise and have the others think it was just an ability of his.
“I will speak to their teacher, but before I do, I need to know if there was anything you guys
did to set
them off. You don’t have to tell me now, you can tell me after class.” Quinn said, as he
realised the
whole class was focused on the current situation.
Some of them felt like even if they told the teacher, it wouldn’t change anything. In the past,
they had
told the teachers of their old schools multiple times and still nothing ever was done about it.
The kids
looked at each other and didn’t say much.
“They went to the same school as Swin and Venus.” She said, “I saw what happened, they
were asking
him to do something. I think maybe they tried to get them to help with a prank on one of
the teachers,
but they refused, and when they did, they started to attack, and that’s when the boys from
our class got
involved as well.”
Quinn looked at their battered and bruised bodies, and decided to give a quick call to one of
his
sergeants. A few moments later, Hayley was in the classroom dealing with each of their
wounds.
“If you guys ever have anything like this again, you can come to the doctor’s office straight
away.”
Hayley said as she started to heal Swin’s eye that looked the worst.
When the healing was complete, Quinn had approached Hayley and he had a bit of
surprising news for
her.
“I need you to teach the class for a little while, there’s just a few things I need to sort out.”
Quinn said,
and was already heading out the room leaving the students with Hayley.
Seeing Quinn leave the room and not in the best of moods, all the student’s didn’t know
what he was
planning to do. They had never had a teacher act like this before when one of them was
hurt.
“Sergeant Hayley, what is General Hardy planning to do?” Venus asked, and the other
students were
interested to know the answer as well.
Thinking about the question that had been asked, Hayley thought back to the first meeting.
She didn’t
know who exactly this person was but based on his actions back then, he didn’t leave to do
something
small.
“I’m not sure, but you can let the adults worry about it, okay?” She said with a warm
reassuring smile.
“I hope he doesn’t get in trouble.” Swin said. “I kinda like him.”
———
It didn’t take long for Quinn to find the room he was looking for, and without any sort of
announcement
whatsoever, Quinn had entered classroom 3B. The doors were opened and as he entered, he
could see
the homeroom teacher was in the middle of her lesson.
When she saw who it was she quickly stood tall and straight and gave a salute.
“Head General Hardy, is there anything I can do for you? If you need to contact any of the
upper staff
I’m sure I can contact the other general for you.” She said.
Since the classroom started with the number three, it meant the classroom was under the
control of the
general in charge of group three, which was one of the Earthborn Generals who Quinn had
already had a
falling out with, but he wasn’t thinking about this at the time.
Walking forward almost ignoring the teacher, Quinn stood by her desk and looked at all the
students.
“I am Head General Hardy of the Second group, and also homeroom teacher of class 2A. In
my class
today, a few of my students returned to me beaten and bruised and I have found out that it
was due to
some students from this classroom.
“Now, those responsible, will they please come forward.” Quinn requested in a deadly
serious tone.
However, his request seemed to fall upon death ears, as no one replied and the students
looked at
Quinn like he was a mad man.
“General Hardy.” The teacher called out to him softly. “I understand that this is quite the
problem, but
it’s in the middle of class, was there really a reason for it to be interrupted for this? If you
want, I can ask
my students if they saw who was responsible and deal with them myself.”
The teacher was already annoyed due to how Quinn had basically ignored her and taken
over her class,
and now he was still interrupting her. There were certain procedures that needed to be
followed, and
she didn’t think it was right for another general to come in and interrupt her class like that.
‘Of course they wouldn’t just volunteer to come forward.’
Not getting the answer Quinn wanted, he made a fist and slammed it on the desk, which
immediately
crumbled beneath him.
The teacher immediately took a step back and almost panicked.
‘Damn, that’s right, I heard these people from the Cursed faction are crazy, I need to get
some help.’ She
thought.
Although Quinn could have used his influence skill to find out who was responsible, even if
he did, what
could he do? These were still students, and Quinn wasn’t exactly going to beat them to a
pulp, that
wouldn’t solve the problem.
“This is a warning, I will not tolerate those who choose to abuse their power. Fights will
break out every
now and then, but just because someone doesn’t want to do what you want, or you try to
force them to
do something and they refuse…these acts are unforgivable.”
As Quinn had finished giving his talk, the door was opened once again and this time, Head
General Innu
had entered the room, and immediately saw Hardy in front of him.
“What are you doing here? This is not part of your group?” Innu asked.
“Don’t worry, I’m just leaving.” Quinn said.
Innu wanted to say something but when the two got close, he quickly moved out of his way.
This time
he wasn’t forced to but felt like if he didn’t, he would have been again.
As soon as Quinn was out of the room, Innu approached the teacher to find out what exactly
happened,
while in the class, the group of six students who were responsible were sitting next to each
other
towards the back.
“Hey what the hell, could you believe what they told their teacher? Why would they do
that?”
“I don’t know, but even if they did do that I thought it was a surprise that the General
himself would
come in, why does he care about them?”
“You know what we have to do right? We just have to make sure those guys never say
something about
this again.”
“But what happens if the Head General finds out, what if they tell him again? We could be
in serious
trouble.”
“Don’t you know, the ones that are responsible for our punishment will be our Head General,
and with
my connection and family sponsoring all his military projects, we will just get a slap on the
wrist.
Besides, who really cares about those low levels, they aren’t ever going to help us in the war
against the
Dalki. They need to know their place.”
My Vampire System Chapter 962 – Reliving the past
On his way back to his class, Quinn’s anger had calmed down a bit. However, his main worry
was he
wasn’t quite sure about what he had just done. He wondered if it would even act as a
deterrent for the
students to stop fighting.
He knew from experience that even if a teacher gave a telling off to the students directly,
they would
just carry on doing the same thing again and again. As long as there was no real punishment
for those
students, then this would just carry on happening.
The school would never expel the students as long as they had an ability that was deemed
needed.
‘Should I talk to Oscar about it? But could he even do something? What would be the best
course of
action?’ Quinn wondered and had finally entered his classroom once again.
Hayley had done quite a good job taking over, as she stood in front of the class. Everyone
seemed to be
keenly listening in on her, and he wanted her to continue while he was trying to think of
something, but
as soon as he entered, all the students’ eyes were on him and they were far too distracted.
So instead, Quinn walked to the front.
“Thank you Hayley, for covering for me,” Quinn said and turned to the students. “I just
wanted to talk to
you all. What happened today with your fellow classmates is not okay. Maybe you have seen
it happen
many times before, but why should people get hurt just because they have been put in an
unfavourable
position.
“If there are any incidents like today, or if any of you get hurt, I want you to tell me. If you
can’t confide
in me, then confide in Hayley here. She might be good at healing the wounds on the outside,
but we
can’t see the wounds on the inside.”
There was silence after Quinn’s speech from the students, as they didn’t really know what or
how to
reply.
‘Hey, you’re getting a bit cheesy with your speeches Quinn, what do you want them to say?’
Vincent
said, trying to tease him a little, but knew Quinn meant well with his words.
Luckily, the students didn’t have to react to what had just been said, because the bell had
gone off, and
it was time for their final lesson of the day. For Quinn as well, it was time for him to go ahead
and teach
his beast weapon class.
Some students from his class, couldn’t help but talk about how strange Quinn was acting
and how
strange he was as well. It was weird because it seemed like he was even more caring about
certain
things than his parents. The sad truth was, this wasn’t unusual either.
The kids’ parents knew that even if their child were getting abused, they were unable to do
anything
about it. Usually the ones that did the bullying, wasn’t due to lack of self confidence, it was
the opposite,
they were overconfident and knew they could get away with it.
Usually, this also stemmed from their parents that acted the same way.
Taking a shortcut, Quinn decided to run ahead, out of sight to where the beast weapons
class would
take place. Seeing the large temple-like building, Quinn could tell it was modelled after the
one that Leo
had taught in as well.
Only this building was around four times the size. After all, it had to accommodate more
students. The
good news was that there were also several teachers. For example, Quinn wasn’t the only one
that
would be teaching the beast weapons class. He was only to teach it to the students that were
in the
Cursed house.
He entered the large white room, which gave off the illusion it was bigger than it seemed,
and the wall
was filled with all kinds of beast weapons. Looking at them all, Quinn used his inspect skill
and he could
see the stats of every single item in the room.
“This really does bring back memories, it would have been a lot easier if my inspect skill was
this strong
back then as well.” Quinn thought, rather than going around and inspecting every single
weapon.
Before the students arrived, Quinn decided to shadow equip his gauntlets and boots onto
the rest of his
body. So he looked more suitable to at least be teaching the class and soon, the students
started to pour
into the room.
“As you enter the room, could you please select a space and don’t let anyone get within a
meter of you.”
Quinn instructed. “This will be your space and remember it well.”
Eventually, the room started to fill up and it looked like there were over a hundred and fifty
students
inside. There would have been more, but Quinn had seen some students step into the room
and when
they saw who was teaching quickly left as if they were disappointed.
“Ah, it’s taught by him, maybe I should go to the elemental class instead.” Some students
spoke.
Students were free to go between classes for the first few weeks anyway, as they decided
what they
wanted to excel in, so Quinn didn’t really mind it.
What pleased him the most though, was the students from his very own class, had come
right to the
front where Quinn could see them. Venus and Swine were both looking at him carefully and
staring at
the equipment on his body. What was a surprise for Quinn, was that Shiro had entered as
well, and was
standing beside them.
‘Oh, I thought since he wanted to be in the Graylash family he would have joined the
elemental class,
but I guess since he doesn’t have an ability there isn’t much he can do.’ Quinn thought.
“General Hardy, what level are those gauntlets on your arms?!” Swin asked. “I’ve never seen
gauntlets
so bright red before.”
Quinn looked at them and realised he still had the emperor tier gauntlets on him. Although
they had
gathered some legendary tier crystals, they weren’t the right crystals to produce an ideal
weapon for
himself.
“I guess they do need an upgrade at some point, there at the emperor tier level.” Quinn
replied.
Hearing these words, Swin placed his hand on his c.h.e.s.t and grabbed Venus before he fell.
“Emperor tier! Does that mean you’ve fought against some emperor tier beasts before?”
Venus asked.
Quinn didn’t mean to blurt out the first part, but the cat was out of the bag now about his
weapons, so
he just went ahead and nodded.
Of course, not all the students were as excited about this. If someone was capable of killing
an emperor
tier beast, they would have at least been known, however Hardy wasn’t. So they could only
assume he
was given those weapons, lying about them, or had fought with his faction to obtain them.
Students were shaking their heads, clearly regretting the choice they had made.
Now that all the students were ready, Quinn decided to start the lesson. He first went into
explaining
the different tiers there were and how some beast weapons had active abilities. Those that
didn’t would
still need to be activated to gain a stat boost from the items themselves however.
He briefly went over all of this information and soon gave a display. Touching the ground
made of
concrete with his fingertips, he made a fist. With just his strength alone and no abilities, he
grabbed the
concrete, leaving markings on the floor, making a ball.
In similar fashion to Leo. He had done the same thing as him. Saying to all the students that
they were
free to try all the weapons on the wall, to find which one suited them. The students quickly
began to
take weapons down from the wall and try them at will.
Walking around the room, Quinn kept a keen eye on a lot of them, and even at one point a
stray whip
looked like it was about to hit another. The student tried to pull it back but Quinn had
caught it in time,
before it had hit another.
“Woah, calm down a little there, make sure you know your surroundings. Think about it, if
this was a
fight you wouldn’t want to be hurting your own allies now, would you?” Quinn said.
The student apologised and went ahead to select another weapon. That’s when Quinn
noticed that
there was one student who hadn’t selected any weapons at all, and standing on his own, it
was Shiro.
“Too much choice?” Quinn asked.
“I thought it would be best to pick a weapon that would go well with an ability, but since I
don’t have an
ability…” Shiro stopped there.
“Well, you can always change your weapon, you know? Or you could do something similar to
me.”
Quinn said. “You know, one of the reasons I selected just gauntlets wasn’t because I was
good at fighting
with my fists. It was because even with them, if I wanted to I could grab and use another
weapon.”
Back then though, Quinn had mainly selected it due to it giving his bloodskills a boost, so
he understood
why Shiro was struggling. The more he started to remember about the past, the more Quinn
was
thankful for having the system.
“Teacher, I remember what you said before.” Shiro replied. “About how you used to be a level
one with
no ability.”
“I wanted to ask, did you ever get bullied?”
“Did I ever get bullied?” Quinn chuckled. “Of course I did. But back then there wasn’t
anyone that would
stick up for me. At least not at the beginning, but I found some people that helped me along
the way,
and I really meant what I said, I will help you as well.”
Shiro’s hand was shaking slightly, as if he was holding back something. He wanted to speak
but couldn’t
and he soon ran off and went to grab one of the weapons off from the wall.
‘That kid Quinn, reminds me a lot of you.’ Vincent said.
“I know, and that’s a problem.”
———
Outside, not too far from the beast weapons class, a group of six students were patiently
waiting.
“Are you sure they are in here?” One of them asked.
“Trust me, I have my connections,” They said. Swim and Venus had signed up for the beast
weapons
class. Once this class is over it’s the end of the day, and this is the only path someone can
take from the
beast class to head back to the dorms. We need to make sure they learn to listen, so they
never ever
think about telling the teacher again.”
My Vampire System Chapter 963 – Adults are liars!
Although Quinn was a little worried about Shiro, he seemed to be doing better after their
small talk. He
tried out a few of the weapons as intended but it still didn’t seem like he found something
that he was
used to yet.
It was either that, or Shiro was still holding out to learn the Graylash ability.
‘Shiro, if you dived in when you saw your classmates were in trouble, you’re going to do the
same thing
again. As sad as this is, without any strength or an ability it might be impossible to help
them.’ Quinn
thought. ‘Maybe there is something I can teach him which makes it so he doesn’t have to
learn an
ability.’
‘Quinn are you thinking of teaching the kid Qi, you know what will happen if you do that
right?’ Vincent
questioned him.
‘I know, the military are already interested in it, since Pure mentioned it, but I was debating
whether it
was something I should attempt to teach others anyway. Leo seems to also have a more open
mind
about it, and he’s started to teach those on the Cursed ship while continuing his search.’
Quinn replied.
If Quinn was going to open up Qi to the whole world, then he at least wanted those in his
group to have
a bit of a head start, besides Qi was a strong skill to use against the vampires, and with
Quinn being
closely related to these types of beings, he thought it might be best for the Cursed faction to
learn
something that could potentially be used against them.
It reminded Quinn though, that it shouldn’t have to be this way, people shouldn’t have to get
stronger
or better at fighting just for a better life. In a way, he was doing that all himself so others
didn’t have to.
The class was finally coming to an end, and Quinn said his goodbyes to them. Everyone was
pretty
drained, and there looked to be a couple of students who already knew how to activate the
beast
weapon to use it to its full potential. None from his class though.
Quinn wondered if all the students that had been placed in the Cursed house might have
been all low
ranking ones. However, it didn’t seem to be the case for the other classes, as those from the
other
classes were quite balanced based on what he was seeing. It was only his class that was full of
low levels.
‘It still doesn’t help me know if it is just a coincidence or not.’
Everyone had left the room quite quickly, it had been a tiring day after all, and while in the
room on his
own, Quinn thought he would take this time to perhaps figure out a few things. Thinking
about Qi, he
was trying to figure out the third stage of Qi.
The reason for this was because it might be Paul’s answer to finding a cure as well. Qi, the
human life
energy, and the vampire energy didn’t mix well, but Quinn had figured out a way for it to
power his
attacks.
Similar to how he was able to turn into a Bloodsucker by filling his Qi ball with red energy,
maybe there
was a way to extinguish all the red energy from one’s body.
‘It’s a long shot what you’re thinking Quinn.’ Vincent thought. ‘I don’t know much about Qi,
but here is
one thing, Qi only slows down the vampire’s healing process, it doesn’t stop it. Even when
using your
second stage it stops until the foreign Qi energy has vanished, or been removed. The main
thing is your
body is now different, so there are living cells in your body constantly producing this
vampire energy.
Yes you might be able to get rid of it temporarily, but eventually it will come back.”
Although Vincent was a much smarter man than Quinn was, at the same time, even he
admitted he
didn’t understand everything about Qi, so Quinn thought he would give it a shot. Besides,
even if it
didn’t work it was another weapon he had in his arsenal.
——
Meanwhile, both Venus and Swin were happily walking back from their class together. They
had stayed
a little bit behind because they wanted to ask their teacher a few more questions, but it
looked like he
had a lot on his mind so they decided to leave it for another day for now.
Still, they were excited and couldn’t stop talking about all the weapons they had both tried.
“I liked the spear the best, it really felt like I had a really long arm.” Venus said, as he
thrusted forward,
imagining a spear in his hand.
“I wanted to try on some armour as well, but I guess that will be another class.” Swin said.
“Maybe we can help you practice.” A voice from behind was heard, and soon they felt their
heads being
pulled under one’s arm by a few people, and being dragged along to a different location.
“Erlen, your, your, you’re here.” Venus stuttered.
“‘Your, your, your’, shut the hell up Venus!” Erlen said as he chucked Venus from under his
arm, across
the floor. Soon after, Swin was chucked on the floor by his side as well.
As the two boys looked around, they could see that they had been dragged between two
large buildings,
between the beast weapons class, and the dormitory. There was a pathway with a glass roof
over them
that allowed them to see the orange sky created from the sunset, while they walked to their
dorms.
With it being the end of the day, there weren’t many students left that would walk this way,
and there
were only the students from the beast weapons class that would come this way to head to
their dorms,
which meant, it was unlikely they would be seen.
Looking up, Erlen’s face had a creepy smile. He had black rough spiked hair, and the five
behind him
were his usual followers he always had throughout school.
“You of all people Venus, I never expected that you would tell the teacher about what
happened.
Doesn’t your dad work for my company? That’s right, a poor worker who didn’t have a great
ability, but
worked hard to eventually give his son a level two telekinesis ability.”
“We didn’t say anything!” Swin objected.
“Hey, shut up! Even if your parents don’t work for my company, we have connections with
those above.
I can find out where your family works too and make life hell for them.” Erlen stated.
That immediately got Swin to shut up. He didn’t mind taking beatings himself, but if it was
his family. He
didn’t want them to get hurt or their life to be any worse.
“Even if you didn’t tell the teacher, then you should have told him that it was a lie. Told him
that what
they said wasn’t true or it was an accident. Now we are just going to have to make it so you
never tell
the others again. I believe I only punched one of your eyes last time, let’s make that two this
time.”
Erlen said, as he made a fist and started to swing it towards Swin’s face, but mid-swing a
loud scream
could be heard coming from the side.
“Arghhh!” A male student could be seen running towards them and a few seconds later,
Erlen could feel
a sharp pain in his side.
“Shiro!” Venus called out, but Shiro was too shocked to hear anything.
Usually one screaming before attacking their enemy would be a stupid thing, but Shiro had
to scream, it
was the only way he could go through with what he was doing. As he took a step back, a
small amount
of blood had gotten on his hands, and a dagger was stuck inside of Erlen.
‘Did he steal that from the beast weapons class?’ Venus thought.
“You, you really stabbed me, who the heck are you!” Erlen said, as he pulled the dagger out
and threw it
right back at Shiro, stabbing him in the shoulder. Soon the other boys had pinned him
down.
Placing his hand on the wound, the area around Erlen’s wound started to freeze over.
“This wound will heal.” Erlen said, walking over. “But what I’m about to do to you; your
whole life, and
your family, that will never heal. You think you’re some hero? Now I remember you from last
time as
well.”
Shiro was struggling, trying to break free. Being powerless and knowing his classmates
would be in
trouble again. Shiro felt like he had to do something, but in his head even when he was
stabbing Erlen
he never knew what he was going to do after this.
‘Maybe I deserve this after all, what the hell was I thinking. It was that stupid teacher’s fault.
Didn’t he
say he would help? That he would be there for us? Well, where the hell is he now?! Teachers,
adults,
they’re all liars! I had to act myself!’ Shiro screamed internally as he saw a frozen hand move
towards
him.
Once again, a projectile was seen having been thrown towards Erlen’s hand and had hit it
away.
“Those people, Quinn likes those people, so I can’t let you hurt them.” A voice said.
Turning around, annoyed at how many people were getting involved, Erlen went to look at
this brave
student, but it was one he didn’t really recognise. It was a light brown haired boy, and
standing next to
him, was a plain guy that seemed almost invisible.
My Vampire System Chapter 964 – Class of 2A
Looking at the two boys who were walking over, Erlen was wondering just who they were. He
didn’t
recognise them at all. He thought maybe they were some of the students that had gotten
beaten up the
other day. He didn’t recognise any of those that had helped before either but they were all
pathetically
weak.
However, he was a little worried that based on one kid’s confidence that they might be
someone from
higher up or one with a strong ability, but Erlen had made note of all those that he should be
careful to
offend. After all, he too knew how the current world worked and didn’t want to cause any
trouble for
the members of his family either.
‘Why is the guy next to him not as confident?’ Erlen thought.
Sil was trying to walk forward to stop the fight, but before he could, Chucky pulled him by
the sleeve.
“Hey, I’m meant to look after you, I can’t just have you going into a fight where there are six
of them, we
should call someone or go get a teacher.” Chucky whispered to Sil.
It wasn’t that Chucky was afraid of the students, after all, he was an adult that had gone on
far more
frightening things, such as battles with deadly beasts while being in a faction. But he was a
careful
person, and having to fight while protecting another he didn’t know how hard it would be.
This was the first big mission he had been given by the Cursed faction and he wanted to
make an
impression. Although, unknown to him, Chucky wasn’t selected for any particular reason, it
wasn’t
because he was good, or strong, or had a good ability, it was due to his young looking face.
There weren’t too many in the faction that would pass off as high school students.
“Chucky,” Sil said for a second. “I don’t like your ability.” And after saying this he had his
hand held out
as if he was asking for something.
Reluctantly, Chucky handed Sil a round black ball from around his waist, a similar size to an
egg, while
keeping some for himself.
“You don’t want to kill someone. If you can, avoid doing that as much as possible. Once you
do, you can
never go back.” Sil said.
“Kill, I wasn’t planning on killing him, I just wanted to make sure that he could never sleep
in his dreams
again without thinking about me!” Erlen shouted.
Chucky started to chuckle hearing this.
“Whoa, if you just wanted to ask him out, you didn’t have to go through all this trouble,
there are other
ways.” Chucky couldn’t help himself but say.
“Looks like we need to deal with some others first!” Erlen said throwing out the ice spears at
both of
them, soon the other students started to move as well.
The first thing Sil did was throw the black egg towards the spear and when it hit, the spear
completely
shattered and fell to the ground, the same happened with Chucky’s throw as well, but soon
the others
would be upon him.
“What should we do? They came here to help us, should we help them?” Swin asked
Venus wasn’t too sure, the last time people from their class got involved it ended in all of
them getting
beat, and the other kids now stayed clear of both Venus and Swin. They were honestly quite
surprised to
see Shrio come and help them again, and now two other students from the class.
“Why, why are so many people helping us?” Venus asked, wiping away his frightened tears,
when he
looked up, Sil was tapping them both on the shoulder, but he was looking straight past them
and at
Shiro on the ground.
“Those words I spoke before, they weren’t aimed at him, they were aimed at you. Remember
what I
said.” Sil spoke, and soon turned around to all those that were ganged up on him.
All six of them including Erlen had them surrounded.
“We have no choice, we have to fight!” Swin said, standing up.
However, Sil held out his hands, and a few seconds later, two of them were lifted off the
ground. Putting
his hands together, both of their bodies crashed into each other with such force, and
flooped to the
floor after. Straight after that, he lifted another one and slammed him against the glass
ceiling, causing it
to crack above and soon let go allowing him to drop to the floor.
“Whoa, wait what is this telekinesis ability! It must be close to level eight to be able to lift
things so
heavy!” Swin said, knowing full well due to him having the same ability.
“Now this is an ability I like.” Sil said.
It made them wonder what those black egg balls were that they had thrown earlier, and if it
was a beast
weapon due to how it was able to smash the ice like that. What they didn’t realise was it had
something
to do with Chucky’s ability.
Looking around, Erlen noticed that all of his friends had passed out, he didn’t even see the
others get
hit.
‘The force from that student’s power must have been strong to be able to do that!’ Erlen
thought. Even
if he didn’t want to admit it, he was a little afraid.
He had never heard, or knew of someone with such a strong telekinesis power in the school.
“Hey, look, you don’t want to hurt me, you know my da-” Before Erlen could finish the
sentence, he felt
a strong thump at the back of his head and his eyes went white and fell to the ground.
“No one wants to know about your dad.” Standing behind Erlen, Chucky could be seen
holding one of
the black balls in his hand.
“Where did he come from?” Venus asked.
“Yeah I didn’t see him in the whole fight.” Swin replied.
Chucky could hear every word the kids were saying and although he hated to admit it, as
soon as the
fighting started for some reason everyone’s attention had gone straight to Sil, and they were
completely
ignoring Chucky. He practically was able to run up straight behind them without anyone
noticing and
had hit the back of Erlen’s head. He had even taken out the other students with little
trouble.
“Come on, let’s get out of here.” Chucky said, and he and Sil were seen leaving the three
boys.
“Wait, you’re in our class right!” Shiro called out to him, finally breaking out of his spell.
“What’s your
name?”
“I’m Sil.” He replied, as he walked back and the two of them headed out of the room.
‘I guess no one wants to know my name, huh.’ Chucky thought, feeling a little upset.
———
A short while later, the kids had gone over to Hayley to heal some of their wounds’ though
they didn’t
have any serious injuries due to what had happened, they were so small that even Hayley
thought
nothing of it.
When heading back to their dormitory, they were thinking about what to do.
“Should we tell teacher Hardy, he did tell us to tell him if anything came up?” Swin asked.
“No, teacher Hardy won’t be able to do anything.” Shiro said. “I know what those kids are like,
they
probably attacked us because teacher Hardy got involved in the first place. If we tell,
something worse
could happen to us.”
Shiro, wasn’t wrong either. As Erlen woke up with the rest, they were steaming with anger all
over, and
they felt like he had no choice, and he knew exactly what to do.
“Dad, there’s something I need you to do……yeah I’m being bullied. It’s best if you come in.”
——
It didn’t take long for Erlen’s parents to come to the school and call an emergency meeting
soon. Erlen,
the five kids who were with him, his parents and Head General Innu of the third group were
all in a
meeting room together.
“I understand.” Innu said after listening to everything. “Don’t worry, I will speak to the
second Head
General, and have these students that did this to your kids, and his friends come in here
themselves and
apologise to both of you. This can not be tolerated in our school.”
“Good!” The father spoke, standing up and straightening his high end tailored suit. “I
especially want the
boy named Sil and Shiro to be brought to us. They could have killed our child!”
Two names in particular were mentioned with great detail from Erlen when he told his story.
Towards
the end of the fight, as everyone was leaving, Erlen had managed to regain a little bit of
consciousness,
and while Sil was still there he didn’t want to get up off the ground, but he had heard the
name of the
student that had been spoken at the end, and he was sure to remember it.
Looking away from the parents, there was a smile on Inuu’s face. He had been waiting for a
way to get
back at Head General Hardy but didn’t know how, and he thought that this was now the
perfect
opportunity.
‘Thank you kids of class 2A, and especially you Sil and Shiro.’
My Vampire System Chapter 965 – The Cursed faction Influence (Part 1)
The next day, in the early morning, the two kids Venus and Swin who were staying in the
same room
together woke up dreading heading into class. Based on how Erlen had acted before, they
were worried
that he might already be planning his next move, and they had seen this happen with other
students in
the past.
‘Maybe if we get close with that Sil kid, Erlen will stop messing with us?’ Venus thought.
He couldn’t stop thinking about what great power, Sil had displayed. How he had completely
overpowered a strong ice user. He was calm throughout the whole fight, and didn’t get a
scratch on him.
They were surprised that such a strong student was in their class, even more so that he
would help
them.
‘No, I can’t get him involved. What if Erlen tries something worse?’ Venus thought, and at
that moment,
Venus noticed that he had a ton of missed messages from his parents.
Before, in the old military bases, there were only certain periods when one could get in
contact with
their families. However, this year the military were trying to be a bit different, and this was
also a
request of those from the Graylash and Cursed faction if they were to send kids from their
factions over
to the military base.
Most of them were voice messages, and he thought that it might be nice to hear his mom’s
voice after a
while, but when he listened to message after message, he was devastated about what he had
heard.
His emotions were so mixed, he couldn’t even blink and didn’t know how to react at all. His
body
remained frozen in place.
“Venus I don’t know why, but your father, he’s been fired from the company!” His Mum
sounded
panicked and distraught on the phone. Usually, his mother would have tried to hide
something like this
from him, so that he wouldn’t worry, however the last message made it clear why she had
told him.
“I don’t know what’s happened, but they said that if he wanted to get his job back, then they
should ask
our son about it. Please, if you know anything can you tell us what happened?”
Venus sat there on his bed, playing the messages to himself over and over again, thinking
about what
had happened, and when he looked across the room, he could see that Swin had an equally
shocked
look on his face.
It turned out that Venus wasn’t the only one that had been affected by this, but also Swin as
well. They
didn’t need to put their minds together for this one, it was obvious who was doing it all.
“Erlen, he really did it…” Venus mumbled. He had to say it out loud to make sure that it
wasn’t a dream.
Of course, they both knew that Erlen wasn’t lying about his father, but no matter what
happened in the
past while in school, he had never got his parents involved in such a thing. Who would get
their parents
involved when it was a problem between them. It made no sense to attack other people.
Unfortunately for them, the bad news didn’t stop there, as the bell rang to their dormitory
door.
“This is Sargent Himmle, please open up. You have been called into a meeting with Head
General Innu.”
Himmle said, spoken through the door.
The two boys looked at each other and gulped. They truly didn’t know what to do now and
didn’t know
what to expect.
——
Being called by the sergeant, and having a meeting with a head general felt like a serious
thing. They
knew Erlen was influential but not this influential and they could see their whole lives
being ruined.
Neither boy said anything, as they moved from their building and headed towards where the
third
group’s building was based.
They entered a medium sized meeting room, where there was a desk, and a bookshelf on
either side of
the walls. Towards the left side of the room, were two sofas and a table and on one of the
sofas, was an
older gentleman in a suit, and sitting next to him was Erlen.
Erlen’s father looked at the students with disgust as they turned their heads avoiding eye
contact.
From his seat Innu had stood up.
“Please take a seat, we are still waiting for everyone to arrive.” Innu said, walking over, and
standing on
the other side. Even the sergeant that had brought them there was standing on the other
side, and it
really felt like everyone in the room was against them too, with no one to back them up.
Soon though, Shiro had been brought into the room by another sergeant, and sat down on
the sofa with
them, and finally, both Chucky and Sil had been brought in as well and were seated down.
Looking across them, seeing both Shiro and Sil, Erlen wasn’t feeling the happiest seeing
them.
‘My father was able to do something about Venus and Swin, but these other three. Shiro,
turned out to
be an orphan so there was nothing we could do to his family, and as for the other two,
known as Sil and
Chucky, we also couldn’t find any information at all. Oh well, I’ll just have to be happy with
what they’re
about to get.’
Innu wasn’t the only one that was going to be a part of the meeting, eventually the other two
Earthborn
head generals had entered as well Samantha and Sach.
‘Now the others can see me getting a little payback for the humiliation we received.’ Innu
thought.
“What’s going to happen to us?” Shiro eventually said, his voice a little shaky.
“Don’t worry, you’re only students, but what you have tried to do to my son is a big crime.”
Erlen’s
father spoke, and that had quietened Shiro down a lot. “So don’t expect a slap on the wrist.”
He thought he might get in trouble or use the beast weapon on the fellow student. This
would be placed
on his record, and his chances of getting into the Graylash family might be stained. With a
powerful
family out to get him, they would make it so his report would deem him more useless then
he already
was.
‘No one is going to help us.’ Shiro thought. ‘No one is on our side and even those two that
helped us
before can’t do anything.’
He looked to his right, and could see Sil and Chucky sitting quite calmly on their seats. Did
they really not
fear what was about to happen to them, did they not care about their record or score they
would get
when leaving this palace.
‘Oh that’s right, these two are already strong, they don’t need to worry.’
“I wouldn’t be so calm if I were you two.” Innu said. “A matter like this could very well mean
an
expulsion, and expulsion from the military may be a fate worse than the lowest grading
students and we
will be sure to let your faction, and everyone know about what you did today. Do you think
anyone will
be willing to take those in that attack their own?”
Still, Innu’s threats did nothing, as Chucky remained calm, and even Sil gave a little yawn.
The door opened, one more time, and the last person who had entered the room was Quinn.
“Head General Hardy, it looks like you made it!” Innu said, being polite and putting on a
smile.
Straight away, seeing Sil and Chucky involved in this incident, he was a little calm, but soon
after he
could hear the other students’ panicked heartbeat. It was clear they were nervous and scared.
Quinn
walked over by their side and stood behind them.
“What happened?” Quinn asked.
Samantha, seeing this, could feel an immense pressure coming off him. She didn’t know
what Innu was
planning to do, but in the end, thought that she should come along, just for his sake. From
that day
onward after the meeting with Oscar, she couldn’t get his words out of her head.
‘Don’t do anything stupid Innu.’ She thought.
My Vampire System Chapter 966 – The Cursed faction Influence (Part 2)
For a second, Venus and Swin were happy to see General Hardy, but soon after realising their
dark
situation, even they thought that it might be difficult for him to help them, and the intense
energy
radiating off from him was just scaring them even more.
“There seems to have been an incident involving your students here from group 2 and my
students form
group 3.” Innu claimed. “The one that has been brought in has been hurt the most, but not
only that, he
and his family are an important asset to the military.
“They are a great sponsor of ours, which only makes matters even more serious to the point
where we
have had to call you in.”
Saying these words. Erlen’s father had a smug look on his face, as if he was proud. He sorted
out and
fixed up his suit a little more to make sure he looked the part. It was as if his looks were
more important
than the situation they were all currently in.
“Six of our students had been beaten by the five that have been brought in here today, they
were the
cause of all of this. The damage is as follows, a concussed head, several broken ribs, a twisted
arm,
missing teeth and finally to our student Erlen here. A stab wound in his side, and blunt blow
to the back
of his head, seems to have been done with a heavy object of some kind.
“I don’t have to tell you that some of these wounds could have been fatal. If it was a simple
fight then
maybe it could have been overlooked, but something could have easily gone wrong and the
outcome
could have been worse.”
Erlen’s father stood up and pointed towards Shiro.
“This boy that stabbed my son, if it wasn’t for my son’s quick thinking then he might have
died. Luckily
my son is talented and had used his abilities to stop the wound from becoming worse.” He
said, sitting
back down in his seats and straightening out his blazer once more.
All of them that were sitting in the chair, hearing the accusations made out as they were,
didn’t really
know what to say. Based on what they had seen Sil do, it didn’t seem like they were making
any of the
injuries up.
Although, Swin and Venus were wondering what to say themselves, after all, they hadn’t hurt
any of the
pupils, so why should a punishment fall on them? And most of all, what of their parents if
they did claim
that nothing had happened?
Quinn had finally heard enough to speak up a little on his own.
“If I may ask, General Innu, did you know there was an incident involving some of the
students here and
students from your class before today? If I was a gambling man I would have to think that
the incident
that happened the other day, is linked to this one as well.”
Seeing what Quinn was trying to do, Erlen was the one to first speak up about it.
“It’s true.” Erlen said. “Me, Venus and Swin used to be friends out of our schools. We knew
each other
and we had a falling out the other day, we got into a scuffle and we were both beaten, but I
didn’t
expect them to ambush us the very next day and try to use a weapon. They even called their
new friends
they made.”
Erlen, was putting on an Oscar worthy performance making it look like he was the victim in
all of this.
Quinn could imagine if it was another general, due to the other family’s position and
connections with
the military they would take their side.
Looking over to Chucky, Quinn could see him shaking his head, calming what they said
wasn’t true at all.
Seeing how his son seemed to be quite upset at what happened, Erlen’s father stood up in
anger.
“I won’t accept anything but begging from these students, they should be l.i.c.k.i.n.g the
floor and
apologising for what they did. If the military doesn’t give them an appropriate punishment
they can kiss
their contracts goodbye! We, the Tiffle family, will not tolerate this!” The father declared.
Hearing this, for a second, both Venus and Swin wanted to immediately get on the floor and
apologise,
they didn’t care if they were really in the wrong or not, but they needed to make sure. That
their
parents wouldn’t be affected.
“If we do that, if we do that, then will you give our parents their jobs back!” Venus shouted,
as he
pleaded.
Everyone in the room was quite stunned by this, but the other Generals expected something
like this
might happen. Although it did not happen often, there were occasions where parents ended
up getting
involved in their kids’ disputes.
However, what Samantha was concerned about was the strange atmosphere that had just
gotten heavy
in the room.
“What did you say he did?” Quinn asked, as his fingertips had dug straight through the sofa.
“Please, we’re really sorry!” Swin pleaded. “We will do whatever you ask, but our parents
already work
so hard for us.” Swin said, already on his knees on the ground.
“As you can see General Hardy, this is a serious matter for the military, I think if the students
at least
apologise we can lighten their punishment.” Innu said, a bit worried himself, not realising
that the father
would go this far for his son. “I hope we do not need to escalate this to the point where Oscar
has to get
involved.”
Quinn didn’t look up, and lifted Swin off the ground. He felt so light as he placed him back
in his seat.
“No one should have to get on their knees, especially if they did nothing wrong.” Quinn said
softly, while
his back was turned to the others.
“Do you really think it makes sense for a bunch of low levels, who are even weaker than your
son and his
gang, to attack a group of high levels? You want me to believe that they were the ones that
started this
mess. That they would really instigate a fight knowing full well that they would lose?” Quinn
questioned
them.
“Who even are you, General Hardy?!” Erlen’s father shouted back. “Don’t you know how this
world
works? Who cares who attacked who first! The crimes committed by those children are
unforgivable.
They attacked some important people that are vital for our society. We should be respected
for all we
are doing for this war, and what have they done! They dare to even attempt to attack us or
argue with
us!”
Samantha urgently wanted to step in at this point. As she didn’t know what General Hardy
might do. She
knew the connections the Tiffle family had with the military.
‘Surely, just a random member of the Cursed family can’t be that important? We can just
comply for
now and apologise to those in the Cursed.’ She thought, but no matter what, she couldn’t
step in.
“So you people really don’t understand or learn, until you get a taste of your own medicine.”
Quinn said,
turning around and looking at Erlen’s father.
Seeing General Hardy’s eyes, she was just thankful that they weren’t glowing red like last
time. But why
did he seem so confident?
“Oh, you’re calling me while you’re away. I assume that something has come up that you
need my
expertise with?” Logan said.
The others looked at this young boy and didn’t have a clue who he was, or why Hardy had
decided to
make a call in the middle of the situation they were in.
“I don’t usually ask you for favours Logan, but this time I had to-“
“Don’t say anything else, you will upset me if you do. Tell me what you need.” Logan replied.
Before saying anything, Quinn looked at Erlen and his father. He could still see that they
weren’t
worried, or cared at all how they had just treated several lower ranking students and their
families.
“Look into a family called the Tiffle family for me please.” Quinn requested.
Some typing was heard, and it didn’t take long for Logan to bring up their information.
“It looks like the family has a lot of connections with the military, they own a lot of
manufacturing plants
that mostly help produce the Mechs for the military amongst other things. What’s the
problem with
them, are they causing trouble?” Logan asked, calmly.
“How long would it take to bring them down?” Quinn asked.
Hearing these words, nearly everyone in the room was stunned. The kids, the Generals and
even Erlen’s
father. However, they all assumed it was merely a bluff.
“I think I can gather what has happened, let me sort it out.” Logan said and the call had
ended there.
“You think your little fake call is going to scare me. I’ve had enough, call the Supreme
Commander
immediately!” Erlen’s father demanded.
However, a few moments later, his own watch started going off. Looking down he could see
it was an
important call that he had to take.
“Sir! Sir! We have a problem, our company, we’ve been bought out!” The caller said.
“How is that possible, our group would never have sold!”
“They had no choice sir. We no longer have access to any of our systems or databases. It was
a complete
take-over that happened in seconds, but somehow they managed to halt production
immediately. An
offer was then made from the Green family, that they wouldn’t allow us to continue
production,
complete our contracts unless we sold. Even if we wanted to do anything we couldn’t and Sir,
I’m afraid
I have even more bad news. The first decision the new director had ordered to be done, was
to get rid of
all the executive staff and other directors.”
Soon there was more bad news as the Tiffle’s personal accounts were taken over, and
multiple pings
form his accounts were being sent to him.
“What is happening!” Erlen’s father panicked, as he went on the floor, grabbing his hair.
Everything was
hitting him at once and he was slowly beginning to make sense of it all. His stomach was
churning and
his head started to spin and the only comfort he had was being on the floor. Looking up, he
saw Quinn,
who was looking down at him. “Please! It was you, wasn’t it? I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” He
shouted.
Quinn stared at the man on the floor, who was almost begging, and stepped away before he
could grab
on to his feet.
“Father, I don’t understand! What’s happening?!” Erlen started to panic.
A ping was received on Quinn’s watch, and it was a message from Logan.
“Your company and all of its productions will continue to operate as normal. However, you
nor your
family, will no longer own it anymore.” Quinn read.
Turning away, he left the man. “Come on, let’s go.” Quinn said, as he walked out of the front
door. Sil
and Chucky stood up following him out, and the other students quickly followed close
behind.
Shiro couldn’t believe what he had just seen happen. Why would a General get so involved in
all of this,
just for a couple of students? Taking down a corporation of that size couldn’t have been easy.
As Quinn left that door, everyone was thinking, ‘who the hell was this person?’
My Vampire System Chapter 967: Logan the real superpower
On the Cursed Ship, Sam was doing his daily duties, reading the reports sent in from all the
different
planets they now owned. Sorting of the beast crystals, allocating trade, seeing what was
made and he
even had to decide who in the Cursed faction would get what equipment first.
Since the attack on the forgery that happened on the Cursed ship last time, he had told
those in the
forgery to make equipment for themselves first. They needed something just in case of an
emergency.
Even though Alex could now use the shadow ability, it wasn’t enough and they needed to be
careful.
So strangely at the moment, there were some of those in the forgery with legendary tier
armour.
Sam continued to look through all the reports, which was done at the command centre. He
liked
working here because it was where one could see the vast space out from the glass window.
That’s when he noticed that he had received an additional report compared to usual, and it
had come
from someone who he didn’t typically get reports from.
“This one was sent from Logan, was there anything I asked him to send me?” He wondered.
He was
pretty sure he would have remembered if he had.
Although Sam was mostly in charge of the Cursed faction, the leaders themselves were
pretty much free
to do what they wanted, and they did so with a few helping him here and there. Wevil, Nate,
Linda,
Dennis and Megan were the ones that helped out the most.
Opening up the report, it took Sam a second, before he thought his head was going to
explode, he
couldn’t quite believe what he was reading and he needed an explanation immediately.
A short while later, Sam and Logan were sitting opposite each other and Logan had just
given a full
explanation to him about what happened, and what exactly the report was about.
“So, you’re telling me, Quinn told you to buy out all these manufacturing plants. You
essentially sent me
the details of the whole company!” Sam said, still not understanding to the full extent of
what he was
being told.
“I just did what I was asked. There was trouble that was giving Quinn a headache. I thought
the easiest
way to get rid of that trouble, without putting up a fight, was to buy the company. Anyway, I
have my
own things to do so I can’t really do much with it. That’s why I have handed it over to you.
Rather than
be owned by the Green family, I want it to be owned by the Cursed faction.” Logan
explained.
Having looked through the report, Sam was able to see the contracts the company had on
top of who
their biggest client was, which was the military. In the past, The Cursed didn’t actually do
much trading
with the military, and they were more focused on trading beast gear and crystals with other
factions on
different planets.
‘I guess this could be our link to the military? All the employees are still there, it looks like
just the
directors and executives were the ones that were let go. It should be doable and will benefit
us a lot.
The mechs were handy when we fought against the Sunshield family as well for those that
are weak, and
they are great for construction.’ Too many ideas were feeding into Sam’s head at once as he
realised
how good of a thing this was for their faction, it just meant there was extra work to be done.
“How much did this cost?” Sam couldn’t help but ask.
“Don’t worry about that.” Logan replied. “It’s all my money. Remember my parents have
passed away
and I’m an only child. I also don’t plan to have any children in the future, so the money
needs to be
spent somehow. If it’s to help Quinn and those in the Cursed then I will have deemed it a
good cause.”
Logan said.
It wasn’t like the Cursed faction were poor. Ever since taking over the Daisy faction, and with
Sam
creating a good system they now had quite a bit of good stable income. Even then, if they
had no credits
as long as they had beast crystals that could be used, they could do something.
But thinking about the Green family’s influence on everything, it made him think. Was it
possible if
Logan wanted to, could he take down the whole of the military’s systems? In a way, the
Green family
had always been a powerhouse just not fighting wise.
‘I guess that’s why they never did, they kept a neutral relationship with each of the families,
helping
everyone and for the sake of humanity. It meant all groups were protecting the Green family,
but now,
there was a clear bias for who they worked for. Perhaps this may cause a problem in the
future.’
Seeing that Sam no longer had anything to say about the subject, Logan decided to change
the subject.
“Did you manage to send my request to Paul?” Logan asked.
This was something that Sam wasn’t too sure was a good idea.
“I did, ” Sam said. “Whenever you want to come over, he will be happy to escort you to where
you want
to go, and then you are free to be sent back. He just informed the King about what you are
doing, but it
seems like everything will be okay.”
“Good, this robotic arm is good, but I realised that it isn’t the best, but I will use this
opportunity to
make something better than what I had before.” Logan replied, swinging his robotic arm
about.
“And how are your other projects going?” Sam asked. “When you talked to Quinn did you
inform him of
what you wanted to do? I know it’s not really my place to stop you, but I will have to tell
him.”
There were two things that Logan was mostly focused on while on the Cursed ship. The first
task was
looking for any Demon tier beasts on the planets that they currently owned. They realised
after finding
out that some planets had an inner planet, that the device sometimes would have to be used
in
different places to get a fuller and more accurate reading if there was a Demon tier beast on
that planet.
If they found one, then they would inform Quinn immediately, and Quinn temporarily
would stop his
duties as teacher to see what they should do about the Demon tier beast. After witnessing
Hilston’s
power and knowing he was still out there, this was the quickest way to get stronger, but was
also the
most risky possibly taking most of their lives.
As for the second reason…
“I’m thinking about it, I’m not quite sure, and still trying to see if there is another way, but
it’s the only
clue I have.” Logan said while walking away.
What Logan was referring to, was the Blade island itself. No one knew if the Hilston family
had returned
to their island after what had happened, but in a way they were related to Logan’s goal.
Wanting to
fulfill his parents request, he wanted to find Richard Eno, but there were no clues about him
anywhere,
apart from one.
Trying to search for clues if Brock had left that place or anything else was almost impossible,
even with
his vast network, and ‘borrowing’ others’ networks using his powers he was able to find
nothing.
The only clue he had left was to go to the Blade island itself, and this was what Sam was
referring to
earlier.
At the same time, there were also others planning to make their move soon as well. Leo, Erin
and Layla
often met up with each other, for more things than one.
Layla using all of her knowledge of Pure had pinpointed all the bases on other planets she
knew of. As
she actually didn’t know where or what the main base was located on.
Their search for Pure members and the Pure organisations had to start somewhere, and
soon they
would be going out on their first expedition.
Having just finished a meeting with the other two, Layla had gone to a quiet part of the
training room;
tired, panting and sweating. She had also been training with them as well.
While she rested up against the wall, she kept thinking of one person in particular.
‘Quinn, I wonder how you’re dealing with being a teacher?’ Layla thought. ‘Honestly, I
wanted to come
with you like the good old times, but I have my own questions as well. Why did my mother
decide to
create Pure in the first place? Why did she hate ability users? Surely one of the founders
knows? I
thought she never cared about me, but in the end that wasn’t true at all.’
Footsteps were heard coming towards her, and blonde hair flickered in front of her face.
“Come on, it’s time we get moving, it looks like Leo is ready as well.”
From behind, Leo stood up, who was in a sitting position the whole time, and he had a smile
on his face.
“The third stage of Qi is a brilliant thing, I should inform Quinn about it once we are done.”
Leo said.
My Vampire System Chapter 968: Two wrongs
Walking through the hallway, the kids were returning to their homeroom classroom
wondering what
they had just witnessed. Their emotions were on a rollercoaster ride during the whole thing.
They were
panicking throughout and all of sudden, they were now walking back to their homeroom
class.
No punishment had been received towards any of them, and miraculously, they had just
witnessed a
worried looking Erlen, and his father who was kneeling and begging on the floor. All of this
was due to
their teacher, General Hardy.
The kids didn’t say anything, as it was taking each of them a while to process what they had
just seen. It
was clear that Erlen had the head general of the third group on their side, but still when
compared to
their own teacher, it seemed like he was untouchable.
“Teacher, you’re amazing.” Venus mumbled.
At that moment, they had nearly reached their classroom, and hearing the words from the
kids, he
realised that he had better say something. He turned around to them and looked at Sil and
Chucky. It
looked like the two of them had got involved trying to protect the kids.
When they were listing out the injuries on all the students, Quinn could only assume that
Sil had
something to do with it, and he was thankful that Sil didn’t go too far.
“I want to talk to you guys about what just happened. As a teacher, I think it’s my duty to say
that two
wrongs don’t make a right.” Quinn said. “What I did just there, I abused my power and used
it against
them. I don’t want you guys to grow up like that.”
Swin and Venus looked at each other, as if they didn’t understand quite what Quinn was
saying.
“Teacher, we don’t think you abused your power. You could have done that from the
beginning but you
didn’t. Until it felt like we were in a corner. You used your power to help against what you
thought was
an injustice. They were the real abuse of power!” Swin said. “You only used it when you felt
like it was
necessary while those guys used it everyday.”
It made him feel a little better that the kids didn’t see him as the big bad guy in the situation,
but he just
wanted to make it clear to them.
“If you can keep what happened a secret, that would be for the best.” Quinn said, giving
them all a wink.
When they were just about to reach their classroom door, Shiro, who hadn’t said a word, just
felt like he
had to say what was on his mind.
“General Hardy, who are you? I thought you said you were a low level like me…I know you’re
a Head
General, but no Head General can do something like that…” Shiro stated.
Looking at the young boy, who reminded Quinn a lot like himself, he thought it would be
good to have
someone like him join the Cursed faction, before he could be ruined by the current society.
“The Cursed faction are stronger than you think.” Quinn left it at that, entering the class and
the lesson
had begun.
It was safe to say that during class, the kids couldn’t concentrate at all on what Quinn was
talking about.
They kept thinking about how they were saved, and so spectacularly.
‘This guy, he is super strong, has high level beast gear, and was able to do something like that
to Erlen’s
family?” Venus thought. ‘He is not a normal person, but I’ve never heard of him.’
At the same time though, due to how quick those in the Cursed faction had risen, there
weren’t many
that knew a lot about them. When the bell rang and it was the end of the homeroom class,
Venus and
Swin noticed that their teacher had requested for Sil and Chucky to stay behind.
They thought that their names might get called too, but it never did happen. They thought
it was a little
strange but nothing too out of the ordinary since they were also involved in the incidents the
other day.
The reason why Quinn had called them, was because he wanted to hear the full story of
what had really
happened that day. Why the two of them were there and how everything had started.
“Well, it looks like you did a really good job, Sil. I’m proud of you.” Quinn said, putting his
hand on his
shoulder.
Hearing the praise, made Sil act in a strange way, and he placed his head slightly downward.
“It’s nothing, I just thought ‘what would Vorden do’ if he was here.”
Hearing about this, reminded Quinn of when he was in school. Vorden would often come
back beaten
and bruised, and it was only later he found out that Vorden was going around beating all
those that
were abusing their powers.
“Yes, and hopefully Vorden will be back soon, remember what you need to do.” Said Quinn.
However, hearing the full story there was one thing that was concerning, and it was Shiro.
The fact that
he had gone so far as to take a weapon from the beast weapons class, and pretty much had
committed
to wanting to kill Erlen and dealing with the consequences later.
‘This isn’t a good sign. It reminds me of how Peter was at one point, if he gets a strong power,
he could
very well attempt to use it to get revenge on all those that bullied him.’ Quinn thought.
Although Quinn had to admit when he was younger, he had harboured these same thoughts
as well. But
he realised that most of the time it wasn’t the individual’s fault, but rather a problem with
the whole
system. It was a change that would take some time to achieve.
——
Later that day, when it was the school lunch break, Venus and Swin were both looking for
somewhere to
sit. After the incident, most of those in their class were still trying to avoid them. Afraid that
they too
would get attacked by Erlen and his gang if they got close to them.
They didn’t know about the extraordinary events that had occurred and they were fighting
everything in
their body to hold it in. That’s when they spotted Shiro sitting on his own and decided to sit
with him.
The three of them now, although didn’t have much in common before, now all shared a
certain bond,
and had one thing they loved to talk about. Their favourite teacher, General Hardy. It
seemed like they
had all come to the same conclusion, Hardy had to be a fake name.
“In this day and age, it’s quite common for popular people to only be known by their name
rather than
what they look like, so maybe he used that to his advantage.” Swin said.
“Ah, like those famous power fighter players. Some of them never reveal who they are in real
life.”
Venus replied.
In the middle of their conversation, they spotted someone entering the room, and it was
Erlen. It was
still the same day that the incident had happened, so he didn’t yet have time to take in
everything that
had occured, and who knows how the conversation between him and his father had gone.
But one thing
was clear, he wasn’t acting himself.
Usually, people would allow him to pass to grab his food first, but he just waited in line like
everyone
else, getting his tray of food like a zombie. When he sat down, he didn’t touch any of his
food and just
looked at it. His eyes were puffy and red as if he had been crying the whole time, and the
side of his
cheek was red.
Quite possibly, after finding out what happened and everything his father had built up, he
had put the
blame on his son for losing it all, and was now dishing out punishment on him.
——
After what had happened today, there was another group that was stunned by what they had
just seen.
In Innu’s room; Innu, Samantha, Sach and Hayley were all sitting down together.
“I just got an update form the company, it looks like all the contracts are going to be
continued as per
usual.” Samantha said. “Also it seems to all be true, the Green family has taken over the
company and
now it belongs to the Cursed faction.”
“Who would have thought?” Sach said. “The Green family and the Cursed working
together!”
“The person who Hardy called, I’ve seen him before.” Hayley mentioned. “When the fight
was going on
for electing the next big power, he was there along with the Bree family, working with
Mona.”
“Does that mean that the Cursed faction took him in after the Bree family disbanded?” Innu
asked.
“I’m not sure, but the Cursed family seem to have a lot more allies than people think on the
surface, as
you can see.” Hayley said, wondering herself as she knew her father, Paul, an ex-head general,
was also
part of the Cursed faction.
Everyone still underestimated the Cursed faction, due to them being the newest addition to
the leaders
table, but it was quite clear with their allies and consuming the Daisy faction, they were
bigger than
anyone imagined.
“I think I’m starting to understand why Oscar told us to try to get the Cursed faction on our
side.”
Samantha blurted out.
“Yes, but did you see how he is acting? He acts like he owns the military and that he can
come and do
whatever he likes!” Innu shouted.
“Calm down.” Sach said. “You had your chance and you failed, but I think I have something
up my sleeve
that might do the trick. He might have a strange ability, and connections but he has never
fought us
directly. I think we can figure out something.”
My Vampire System Chapter 969: Adapt to the situation
Later in the school day, it was time for the students to head to their classes, and currently Sil
and Chucky
had decided that they would hop over to the elemental class. The other day, they had joined
a mental
ability class and today they had switched to another one.
The two of them decided that they would continue to switch between classes while Sil
would try to copy
as many different abilities as he could. The goal was to try and find someone that could
possibly help Sil
bring the other two back.
Although it was unlikely they would find anyone in the elemental class that could help, they
wouldn’t
leave any stone unturned, and this seemed to be quite the easy class for them to join.
The elemental class was filled with students and was always the most popular class in school.
Students
would attend it regardless if they had an elemental ability or not. Some just wanted to see
displays of
the most powerful abilities, while others were there to make connections with other
families.
However, in the bright dome-like room, standing on top of a square stage structure at the
very back was
a special person. The usual teacher of the elemental class had claimed to have invited a
special guest.
Quite a young looking gentleman was standing by their side, and he was covered in white
robes. The
special guest was one of the head generals who was part of the Graylash family, named
Robin Graylash.
Because of him, the already popular class was filled with even more students, and it looked
like that’s
when Chucky noticed that Shiro, from their class, was here as well. Standing at the very
front watching
keenly on the demonstration.
“Come on Sil, you’re not going to get a better chance than this?” Chucky said. “All of these
people here
and they’re paying attention to the speech. I know you don’t like approaching people but
here you can
touch whoever you like?”
When Quinn had called them after class, he had learnt of what happened, but on top of that
Chucky had
a question of his own. Just who was Sil? Sil had been able to copy his ability, and then soon
after used
the telekinesis ability. He was so strong and powerful.
The Blade kids that were on the Cursed ship were kind of a secret, always training on their
own, and not
many knew about Sil.
In the end, since Chucky had been such a good help to Sil, so far, Quinn told him what his
ability was,
and what their goal was. To try and find a certain person with a specific ability. He didn’t go
into much
detail after this and he didn’t need to. Chucky, with a clearer goal in mind with what they
were trying to
do, was ready to help. However there was one problem.
It didn’t seem like Sil liked people that much, nor touching them either unless he had to. In
the last class
they were in, they tried to think of several ways for Sil to touch others without it seeming
weird. The
easiest way was through an introduction and handshake.
Whenever it came to this part though, Sil just wouldn’t stick out his hand, or say his name. It
made the
situation awkward eventually causing the other person to leave. So now seeing how things
were, Sil
could just go through crowds of people touching them.
“Okay, I’ll try.” Sil said convincing himself it was something he had to do, if he wanted to get
Vorden and
Raten back.
The two of them were at the very back, and not wanting to make eye contact or make it
awkward. Sil
started to walk through the crowds of people while the speech continued. While doing so he
would let
his hands out, and brush it past each person as he walked by.
There were two clear ways for Sil to copy one’s ability. Through a brief touch of one’s skin, or
holding
onto one’s body. So in some instances if he grabbed onto another one’s arm or on their
shoulder, if he
was holding onto their actual body he could still copy their cells.
Still, the easiest thing to do was just skim past their hands, as he did now, learning of other
people’s
ability.
On the stage, Robin was demonstrating the after effect of the lightning ability. He was just
moving his
hands simply in a circle but a trail of lightning would be left behind and eventually he could
make small
circles out of this.
“You should use the tools you have learnt to be creative and come up with your own skills.
Although our
abilities may be the same, every person is different.” Robin explained. “Even if your ability is
not an
elemental one, we are only limited to what we can create in our mind.”
“There are two constant enemies you will face, one being the Dalki. They have a permanent
form that
we are used to, but with their human-like bodies and extreme strength they can adapt to the
situation
they are put in. At the same time, you must adapt as well.
“As for the second enemy, those are the beasts we face nearly everyday. Aggressive in nature
as they
attack on sight but more importantly, they come in different shapes, sizes and abilities. If
you have
utilized everything in your arsenal and still cannot defeat it, then you need to adapt and
create
something new. To do that you must all treat your abilities as part of your body. This is
an…this is an…”
in the middle of his talk, Robin started to stutter, as his concentration was losing focus. But
it wasn’t
because he was nervous or shy, it was because there was a distraction happening in the
crowd.
A light brown haired boy was making his way through the crowd of people, lightly pushing
others aside
as he walked by. It was a big distraction, since he was the only one that was moving, but
what was even
worse, it seemed like the boy was uninterested in the lesson. He wasn’t looking at the stage,
and was
just zig zagging through the crowd of people as if this was his goal.
The rings of lightning he had created disappeared and now a single finger started to spark
blue.
“Now, once your ability is like a part of your body, you will have absolute control like so.”
Robin said, as
he pointed his finger into the crowd and decided to fire a very small spark of lightning.
Still going through the crowd, Sil wasn’t paying attention and was just focusing on his task.
‘No, no, that ability won’t help. How many earth users are there?’ Sil thought.
Suddenly, he could feel a few hairs on his head stand up, and when he finally lifted his head,
a blue spark
of lightning had hit him on the forehead. His whole body stood shaking in place from the
shock, for a
short while. The others seeing his body shake had decided to move away from him.
“Did he just hit a student with his lightning?” Some of the students watched in shock.
‘Is that Sil and Chucky?!’ He thought, as he looked at them.
Chucky immediately went over to grab Sil, but then his body too was shaking from the shock,
and
eventually it had stopped.
In order not to cause a panic, Robin quickly informed the students what had just happened.
“Don’t
worry, I didn’t use a large amount of force. This skill isn’t one that will cause a lot of damage,
so it won’t
injure the student badly. However, it will paralyze a person for a few seconds.” Turning his
attention
towards Sil, Robin spoke his next words directly to him. “Although, I do have to say that if
you are not
interested in the lesson, then rather than be a distraction the two of you should leave.”
When the two had finally recovered, Sil’s and Chucky’s hair was both a little frazzled, and Sil
kept his
head down.
“Sil, are you okay? Hey, answer me.” Chucky said, but Sil just continued to look down.
The two of them hadn’t been with each other long, but from the brief encounter they had
before, he
was worried.
‘No, he isn’t planning to…’ Chucky was preparing for the worst.
My Vampire System Chapter 970: What is the strongest ability?
The crowd of students who had attended the elemental class for the special demonstration,
never
imagined that they would have witnessed an actual skill being used, and against another
student at that.
However, what was quite surprising, was while Chucky had only gotten second hand
aftershock from
touching Sil, he was down on one knee. As for Sil, he had remained standing.
‘Doesn’t hurt my arse!’ Chucky thought. ‘I feel like my whole insides have been fried.’ His
immediate
reaction after receiving an attack like this one, was to pay back the person that had dealt it.
Maybe there were some that would be frightened, but Chucky’s natural response was to
fight. However,
he knew who Robin Graylash was. One of the strongest members of the Graylash family,
who’s name
had spread quite far and wide.
If he was to do anything, it would be pointless. Which was why, based on his own feelings,
he couldn’t
imagine what Sil was feeling or would do. He was a person who was a little unstable.
Looking at Sil, it seemed like the worst was coming true, as Sil raised his hand towards
Robin, with an
open palm and looked at him. The students weren’t stupid. If anyone did this it only meant
one thing, Sil
was planning an attack.
‘He can’t be thinking of attacking a head general?’ Shiro thought, watching from the side.
Although, he didn’t know Sil. Sil had saved him that day, and he had seen some of his
strength.
However, he couldn’t imagine Sil beating a head general, and one of the strongest members
of the
Graylash family who had the strongest ability in existence.
Chucky, who was by Sil’s side, was having the same thoughts as well. He tried to get up, but
his legs
didn’t seem to listen. When trying to move his leg, it was as if the muscles in his arm would
activate
instead.
‘Is this the general’s skill, then how is Sil able to move?’ Chucky thought.
The truth was, it was the same for Sil, but with years of training different types of ability, he
had quickly
worked out which muscles had switched to which parts. If moving his leg moved his right
arm in a
certain way, then he would just do that.
“Sil, think of Quinn, we can’t cause a scene.” Chucky desperately said, thinking it was the
only words
that would calm him down. For some reason, there was one person that Sil always
responded to, which
was why he thought this might work, and a few seconds later, Sil was seen placing his hand
down.
Through the whole ordeal, Robin had a smile on his face. He wasn’t frightened when the
student raised
his hand.
“Good, now if you want to stay I hope there won’t be any more distractions,” Robin said and
continued
on with his show.
Chucky decided to move him and Sil to the back to check if he was okay. His body could
now work as it
seemed like the effect of the lightning was only a temporary effect. The students were now
also staying
clear of them, afraid Robin might just lash out at them again.
Which meant that Sil could no longer touch the other students.
‘Maybe we will get another chance, another way.’ Chunky thought.
Surprisingly, there was one person from the crowd that did approach them, and that was
Shiro.
“Is he okay?” Shiro asked.
“I’m fine, like he said it didn’t hurt, but it was annoying.” Sil replied, folding his arms. Even if
it didn’t
hurt he was clearly frustrated.
The speech continued from Robin and his demonstration was about to finish, so he decided
to end the
show off with a Big Bang, and started to show many different spectacles and skills, moving
himself at the
speed of lightning, creating thunderbolts to hit certain cards that he threw in the air. It was
more similar
to a magic show but it had done its job and the students were impressed including Shiro.
‘I see, now I understand why the Head General agreed to do a demonstration even though
this is the
Cursed house elemental class.’ Chucky thought. ‘He wants to win over the students so when
they
choose to select a group to join, they will chose the Graylash family. Smart move.’
“Now remember, although I said imagination is the most important thing, there will be
things that I have
shown that are just not possible without the Graylash family ability. After all, that is why our
ability is
the strongest ability in the world.”
The students were ready to give a round of applause until they were interrupted once again.
“That’s not the strongest ability in the world.” A voice shouted.
When they turned around to see who spoke, they saw that it was none other than the
student who had
been attacked.
“Oh, I see it was the boy who had interrupted me before. Well, if you think it isn’t true then
do you mind
giving me an example?” Robin asked.
At this point, Chucky didn’t know what to do, but at least he thought a fight wouldn’t break
out this way,
or he hoped.
Hearing these words, Shiro who was next to them was reminded of something general
Hardy had said to
him, about how there were other strong abilities out there as well.
“Of course.” Sil replied. “The earth ability is well known to be a weakness of the lightning
ability. If an
earth user and a lightning user were of the same strength, most of the time the earth user
would win.”
The students also knew about this as well. They had seen this happen at the inter-base
tournament last
year. At the finals it was an Earth user against one of the strongest Graylash students and the
earth
ability user had one. They turned their heads waiting for an answer from the teacher.
“I’ll give you half a point for that answer. Although what you say is correct, when it comes to
cultivating
the Graylash family is more advanced and has many skills. To put it simply, for every great
earth user out
here, there are about ten Graylash family members that could match them in strength. On
top of that,
the cap for the earth ability is far lower than what one can do with the lightning ability, no
earth user,
even the Supreme commander Oscar has been able to match up to our Leader Owen.” Robin
replied.
“This is why I say lightning is the strongest ability there is.”
The students then turned their heads, as they waited for Sil to reply next.
“There are still other abilities that are stronger, what about the Shadow ability?” Sil asked.
Hearing these words, the students started to gossip. Currently in the world the humans only
know of
one person with the shadow ability, and that was the Cursed leader, Quinn Talen. The
students started
to debate, but the problem was, no one knew the full power of the shadow ability.
They turned their heads once more expecting a comeback from Robin. But instead he just
started
clapping.
“Bravo, although I will not admit that the lightning ability is weaker than the shadow, I can
not also say
that it is stronger because I simply know nothing about it. It is a case that can’t be proven.”
Robin
replied
The students were quite surprised by the answer Robin gave, he thought he would have been
smug or
big headed but he gave an honest answer and because of that, they respected him.
“Enough arguments, let’s get this lesson started.” Robin said.
The students spread out, and started to practice their abilities, while the teachers and
assistants would
go around giving pointers. Some students were even able to do a light spar with each other,
as there
was a doctor on standby in the class in case anything happened.
During this, Sil wanted to attempt to ask some of the students for a light spar so he could
use their
ability, however, as soon as he moved a certain someone had approached them, and it was
none other
than Robin.
“I would like to apologise to you, I had hit you with my skill out of anger but I should have
known to hold
back. You are only students, of course you will talk and misbehave. This is why I’m not
suited to be a
teacher.” Robin nervously chuckled to himself.
‘Hey what about me? Is he not going to apologise to me?’ Chucky thought. ‘Well, at least this
guy seems
to be quite nice. I guess not all generals are bad people.’
Taking his hand, Sil decided to give it a shake.
“On top of this, I would like to give you a little personal lesson.” Using his fingers to blow a
whistle, in an
instant a student appeared by the side of him.
“This is one of my best pupils, Lin. He studied at the Graylash household before we sent him
here to the
military base. To be honest looking over him is one of the reasons why I decided to join and
become a
head general here. It was impressive how you didn’t fall from my strike earlier, I think you
have some
skill. Why don’t you two have a little sparring match and then after I can give you some
pointers. What
do you say?” Robin asked.
Chucky was about to say no for him. But was interrupted before he could. Sil had already
said. “Okay.”
Still not having left their side, Shiro was amazed that the head general and one of the top
members in
the Graylash family was willing to give pointers to Sil. Because of this, he decided to stay
close, with
hopes to somehow prove himself to the Graylash family.
Both Sil and Lin were about to get ready in position, but before he did, Sil turned around
and looked at
Robin.
“I didn’t finish answering your question before. I said that there were abilities stronger than
the
Graylash family, and one of them is mine.”My Vampire 971
My Vampire System Chapter 971: Who taught who?
Just when Chucky was beginning to think that perhaps the centre of attention would no
longer be on
them, Sil went ahead and said those words. A few students around had heard what was
spoken as they
were already looking in their direction.
After all, it wasn’t everyday a famous head general would attend class like they had done.
After seeing
who was brought over and the words of a sparring match, nearly everyone around had
practically
stopped focusing on their own skills.
‘Quinn, I thought you were giving me an easy job when I first met you, but this task is a lot
harder than I
initially thought. Now I know why you wanted me to keep an eye on him.’ Chucky thought,
but looking
at Sil walking away and getting ready for his fight, he couldn’t be mad at him. ‘Well, that was
a cool line
you said at the end so I’ll forgive you, now let’s just beat this student and get on with the
task.’
While Robin was making sure the area was clear and stood towards the centre of where the
two were
fighting, another visitor had joined the room. Walking in, wanting to have a look at how the
class was
going, was the head general of one of the Earthborn, Samantha.
She too had heard that one of the Graylash generals was having a demonstration today.
Unfortunately
due to her own duties in her own group, she couldn’t appear at the start of the class, but still
decided
that it would be best if she popped down to see a first hand demonstration of a peak
Graylash family
member.
It was at that moment that she spotted him with two boys as if he was about to referee a
match.
‘Wait a minute, isn’t that the boy that Innu brought into the meeting?’ Samantha recognised,
but didn’t
think much of it, and decided to stay by the sidelines and watch the sparring match play
out.
Robin looked to his right, where Sil was. “Ready?” He asked and then looked to his left,
where his
personal student Lin was as well. “Ready?”
‘Alright, so you say your ability is stronger than that of the Graylash family, let’s see if you’re
all talk.’
Ropbin thought, as he swung his arms down to signal it was the start of the fight.
In an instant, both of Lin’s hands were covered in lightning, and placing them together the
first thing did
was fire them off like a lightning bolt right towards Sil.
‘The activation speed of his ability is amazing for a kid at such a young age, the Graylash
family seem to
have gotten stronger since their new leader.’ Samantha thought. ‘I heard their leader had
passed down
some of his personal techniques. It seems they have been put to good use.’
Seeing how Sil had gotten hit by something similar last time, most of the students saw no
hope for him.
Even Chucky was a little worried.
Lifting his hands up, Sil was calm as ever as he brought up a wall of earth from the ground.
When the
lightning strike had hit, it smashed the top layer crumbling it to pieces.
‘My lightning strike won’t be stopped by just any mere wall.’ Lin thought, until he saw the
impact it had
made. His strike had only managed to crumble off an inch deep off the wall. ‘How high is
this person’s
earth level?’
“Wait an earth ability?!” Shiro was so shocked, he blurted out the question. He truly didn’t
have a clue
what was going on. The last time he saw Sil fight he had used telekinesis, so how was he able
to use the
earth ability?
Soon though, the wall started to move like a wave, and it wasn’t the only one. The whole
ground had
formed into giant waves of earth. Lin tried his best to fire stronger lighting attacks, but
when it hit the
giant waves of earth it looked like it would do nothing.
Seeing this, he tried to use his speed to outrun the wave. Turning right, there was another
wave taller
than himself coming his way, and it was the same on the left.
‘How much earth can he control?’ Lin started to think. Seeing all this there was only one
thing he could
do, and running straight towards it he covered his whole body in lightning. Jumping off, he
spun his body
around, spinning forward making his whole body into a large lighting bolt.
“One of the signature moves of the Graylash family, although I haven’t experienced it myself
I have seen
it in action a few times.” Samantha thought. ‘Still, that boy, how can he control so much
earth?’
What everyone else around failed to realise, although what Sil was doing didn’t look too
impressive,
controlling this amount of earth at once would require a huge amount of MC points. Points
beyond that
of a level eight user.
“He won’t break through.” Robin mumbled. When Lin hit the wall, although the damage
created to the
earth this time was stronger than his previous attack, it was useless when there were
multiple waves of
mud forming in mere seconds, and soon, it had collapsed on him entirely.
“Stop, the fight is over!” Robin shouted. “Get rid of all this earth.”
Sil listened and soon, all the waves of the earth were returned to where it once came from,
and Lin
could be seen covered in dirt.
“I believe you already know I went easy on him.” Sil mentioned.
Robin first made sure his student was okay, and he was completely fine. He knew what Sil
had said was
true. All he did was move large amounts of earth, he didn’t really attack with it, but just
overwhelmed
him showing the extent of his powers.
“Don’t worry about losing Lin, you just have to use this loss to get stronger, and I wouldn’t be
upset. It
looks like you lost against a monster.” Robin said.
After seeing to Lin, Robin walked forward one more time and he only had one thing on his
mind.
“I said I would teach you a lesson, but it looks like you taught my student a lesson instead, so
why don’t
we continue the lesson. Are you okay with giving me a go?” Robin asked.
The students who were pretending to still be focusing on the class, had now completely
stopped, and
the teacher and assistants that were giving them a telling off had stopped as well. They just
couldn’t
believe what they had heard and now this was something they wanted to see.
“After all, I need to prove to you that the Graylash ability is the strongest.” Said Robin.
At this point, Chucky thought that Sil was just going to do what he wanted anyway, and after
seeing
what Sil had produced with the mud, and the other members of the Cursed family, he was
wondering if
the members of the Cursed knew just how strong the members in their family were.
‘I was lucky to join this team.’
“Okay.” Sil replied calmly, and got back to the starting position he was in before. It was safe
to say that,
no longer was anyone paying attention to the lesson and instead was just watching the fight
that was
about to appear before their very eyes.
‘That boy, he is incredibly strong,’ Samantha thought, and she immediately decided to make
a call to a
certain high ranking individual. Soon on the other end, Oscar the Supreme Commander had
answered.
“I’m sorry to bother you at such an important time, but I have just spotted a student that has
an
incredible talent, we must make sure he comes to the Earthborn group no matter what!”
Samantha
claimed.
“Oh, do you know the boy’s name and class?” Oscar asked.
Thinking of the details she had gotten from Innu, she remembered the name.
“The boy goes by the name Sil.” She replied.
There was a slight pause from Oscar until he eventually replied with a big sigh.
“That boy, I know he is talented, unfortunately he already belongs to the Cursed.”
At that moment, the fight in which Lin was now signalling the match to start, had begun. As
soon as he
threw his hands down, Sil was this time the aggressor starting with the waves of mud the
same as
before.
As they came towards him though, from all directions, everyone was wondering just what
was going to
happen. At first, Robin attacked a wave of earth, but as soon as it crumbled it was quickly
rebuilt.
Seeing this, even Lin was beginning to worry, thinking his teacher didn’t have an answer.
‘Destroying that wall will just be a waste of my time.’ Robin thought.
“Your earth powers are strong so I can see why you’re confident. But the Graylash family also
has
speed.” Robin claimed, as he fired off a lightning bolt directly towards Sil.
However, what happened next, no one had expected. Sil’s body too started to light up blue,
and it
looked as if his whole body had vanished and the lightning bolt had hit nothing but thin air.
When
looking around the arena, Sil was seen in a different place, and now the entirety of his right
hand was
covered in lightning.
“Now he has lightning abilities as well, who is this person?” Shiro kept thinking.
All the students were discussing seeing him use multiple abilities trying to figure out who he
was. As for
Robin, after seeing this, his eyes widened and the lightning covering his arms immediately
faded.
“I’m sorry, I apologize for everything I have done.” Robin said. “If I knew who you were I
would have
treated you with a lot more respect.” Robin then bowed down to Sil once again. “I hope the
Cursed
faction leader is doing well. The Graylash family owe you and him a great debt.”
After that, Robin was seen leaving the entire place, and had completely left the training hall
they were
in, leaving everyone in a stunned confusion.
Samantha looked at Sil trying to figure out who he was but she had no clue.
“This student belongs to the Cursed faction, and the Graylash general just paid him so much
respect like
that. Why do we keep hearing about the Cursed faction members? The Graylash faction
should be in
higher positions and more respected than these strangers. Yet the Cursed faction keep being
treated
with this level of respect.
“Just what is the Cursed faction?” Samantha thought.
‘The Cursed faction is a lot stronger than you think.’ Shiro remembered his teacher saying
these words.
My Vampire System Chapter 972: The missing person
The head general Robin had just left the room, not saying much, saying hardly anything at
all, which just
added to the confusion of everyone around.
“Did general Robin just lose a duel to a student?” One of them asked amongst the silence.
“I wouldn’t say lose, but kind of refusing to fight him.”
“Forget that, did you see what he did, he just used two different abilities at the same time.
How is that
possible?”
“It might be some type of replicating ability, or an illusion, but I don’t think the general
would act that
way if it was an illusion.”
The students had many questions to ask, but with the head general not being there, they all
turned to
look at one person who was. It didn’t take long for crowds of students to start rushing over to
where Sil
was standing.
“That was amazing, who are you?”
“What’s your ability?”
“Do you and the general know each other?”
Seeing the crowds of people rushing towards him, while asking a million different questions,
Sil had just
frozen in place and didn’t know what to do. It looked like the wave of people would consume
him just
like he had done with Lin using the Earth ability.
However, before the crowds of people could get close, two people started to block them from
getting to
him. Shiro, and Chucky. Predicting something like this would happen, and seeing Sil’s
awkward character
they knew he would freeze.
Stretching out their hands, they were able to block a few of the students but they would
soon be
trampled by the wave of people.
‘Hey, you didn’t happen to get an ability that can get you out of here did you?’ Chucky asked.
Hearing this, Sil immediately closed his eyes, and soon he had completely disappeared from
sight. No
one could see him in the room, but he was still there. One of the abilities he had gotten was
an
invisibility one, thinking that it might come in handy when trying to get other abilities as
well.
With that, Sil managed to get out of the interrogation from all the others. The students
quickly gave up
after not being able to find him, but when the class ended they wouldn’t let up, and soon the
news of
what happened started to spread around the whole school.
Details seemed to get exaggerated, tales of a student taking on the whole elemental class
including the
head general. It became so much so that the original tale of a student beating a head general
was
dismissed as just a rumour.
The rest of the day, the students who were looking for Sil never could find him, but there
was one
person who was more determined than all the others.
Shiro, while everyone was looking for Sil after the class ended, instead Shiro thought it was
best to
follow Chucky. The two of them had been together not once, but twice now and he didn’t
think it was
just a coincidence.
Yet, for some reason Chucky was incredibly hard to find.
‘What did that guy even look like again? Did he have wild hair, long hair? Wait, what colour
is even his
hair? Why is it so hard to remember that guy?’ Shiro thought.
However, eventually he would run into him, as the two of them attended the same class.
When having
returned to the classroom, it seemed like news had reached the ears of the classmates as
well. They
twisted and turned trying to look for Sil but he was nowhere to be found.
“Hey Shiro, is it true that Sil beat Robin Graylash?” Venus asked, approaching him with Swin.
The two of
them always seemed to be together like another pair.
“Um, I mean not quite, the two did have a match, and the general all of a sudden forfeited,
so I guess
you could say he won.” Shiro replied, but this wasn’t why Shiro was interested in Sil.
It was his ability, somehow he not only had the Graylash ability he had another. Which
meant there was
a way to learn abilities without being a part of that family, Shiro thought. Or a stronger
ability.
Eventually, Chucky had gone into the room but the lesson had begun. It was tutor time, so
Quinn only
needed to take registration and catch up on what all the students were doing or how their
day was
going.
“Teacher, where is Sil?” One of the students asked.
“Sil is sick for the time being.” Quinn replied.
Hearing this, Shiro was starting to think something was up.
‘Hardy is part of the Cursed faction and at the end, Robin said something about saying hello
to the
Cursed leader? Is Sil already a part of the Cursed faction?’ He started to think. ‘Maybe Hardy
is covering
for him.’
Shiro didn’t want to admit it, but the Cursed faction was getting more interesting by the
second. When
class had ended, Shiro decided to stay behind, he waited and saw that Chucky was waiting
as well.
In the end, everyone had left the classroom, and now only Chucky and Quinn were left
there.
“Shiro, do you need help with something?” Quinn asked.
“I wanted to speak to Chucky if possible, it’s about Sil. I know you guys are working together,
you’re all a
part of the Cursed faction, aren’t you? Including Sil.” Shiro claimed. “You don’t have to lie to
me, and I
just wanted to say thank you. Sil saved me back then and I wanted to know more about
him?”
Both Chucky and Quinn looked at each other for a second.
“Alright Sil, if you want to, you can come out now, I think we need to rethink this whole plan
in the first
place.” Quinn said.
A few seconds later, Sil seemingly seemed to appear out of nowhere standing by Quinn’s
side.
“Quinn, I’m sorry, things just got out of hand, I was trying to do everything I can.” Sil said.
Now Chucky was visibly shaking his head as well, and Shiro took a step back while trying to
look his
teacher Hardy in the face.
“Quinn…” the name seemed to sound oddly familiar and it took him a minute until he had
realised.
“Quinn? As in the leader of the Cursed faction Quinn Talen?” Now things were starting to
fall into place
about who he really was. Why did their teacher have so many connections and power?
Now, he was standing in front of the world leaders. Equal to a president or prime minister in
past times.
However, it was only through the few interactions he had that he was starting to learn just
why the
Cursed faction was allowed to be on the leaders table.
“Thank you grand leader for looking after me as a student. You protected me from
punishment and at
the same time your men have protected me again.”
What Shiro was doing now was all natural, he didn’t know how to react but thought he
should at least
be this respectful.
“You can get up. Don’t worry, here I am just a teacher, and I don’t make those in the Cursed
faction do
that type of thing so why would I make my students? The only thing I ask of you, is if you
can be a little
tight lipped about this whole incident, as for Sil, well it seems like the whole school already
knows about
him now.” Quinn said, sounding a little disappointed.
He wanted Sil to make some friends while being here, but he had only been in the school
two days, and
if others thought he was still a student after his display, it would cause a lot of problems for
Sil.
There would be students challenging him to fights, others asking for details about his family
and more, it
just wasn’t worth the trouble.
“Actually?” Quinn said realising there was another solution. “Why don’t we start again, head
over to
Peter, and ask him to change your appearance. I’ll have to transfer you to another class, I
won’t be your
teacher anymore but I’ll get Chucky to transfer as well. I’m sure no one will realise he’s no
longer in this
class, he seems to have that effect.” Quinn said.
They had talked about what to do when Sil had come to him. Sil was the first person to
explain what
actually happened before Quinn had heard the rumours and the two of them were trying to
figure out
what he wanted to do, and surprisingly, Sil had said he wanted to stay in school.
“If this is the best way, then so be it.” Sil said, ready to go invisible once more and head over
to where
Peter was.
“Wait!” Shiro shouted, as he could see Sil’s legs disappearing.
“I wanted to ask you, your ability is strong and I currently don’t have an ability, so I was
wondering if you
could teach it to me?” Shiro pleaded.
Sil looked at Quinn who did nothing but smile back.
“Let me give you some advice. My ability is not suited for just anyone and I wish to never
spread this
further, but if you are chasing after my ability because of strength then don’t. Remember
what I said
about there being abilities stronger than that of the Graylash family, well you have one of
them right in
front of you now.” Sil said, pointing towards Quinn.
“The shadow ability?” Shiro said.
My Vampire System Chapter 973: Shadow books
Shiro continued to look at Quinn, not asking him the question he had deep down. It was as
if he was
intimated by who this person was after finding out who he was. For Quinn though, seeing
he was
debating internally on what to do, it wasn’t a good sign.
“Let me ask you a question.” Quinn finally said. “Do you want to join the Cursed faction, or
are you only
interested in joining because you want the power that Sil mentioned?”
At this point and time, although Shiro was interested in the Cursed faction, he still couldn’t
get out of his
head that his life would be better to join either the Earthborn or the Graylash family, he just
didn’t know
enough about the Cursed, and ultimately he knew he was doing it for the ability, and it was
an ability he
really didn’t know about.
He was just taking Sil’s word that it was an ability that was stronger than the Graylash. The
sudden
opportunity that was now in front of him was tempting.
He wasn’t the only one that was internally debating. Honestly, even though Sam had
suggested trying to
teach humans the shadow ability to further help increase his soul weapon, Quinn wasn’t
sure it was a
good idea for one reason. The ability ‘Shadow Link’. It was a worry that was always on the
back of
Quinn’s mind, that the shadow users could travel to one another at any point and time.
In this case, there was one thing that Quinn did learn that was important when deciding on
who to teach
the shadow more than anything. Loyalty, someone like Arthur was able to even take others
with him, so
if Quinn ever made another ‘enemy’ that knew the shadow ability, if they weren’t loyal in the
future it
could cause a problem.
With the vampires that had been turned, at least there was a connection that would make
them loyal on
a surface level.
Looking at Shiro and based on the fact that he hadn’t answered quite just yet, it seemed like
he was yet
to make a full decision.
“I’m sorry for wasting your time.” Shiro bowed, with his face almost red as if he was
embarrassed and
then began to walk out of the room.
Soon after, Sil went to see Peter along with Chucky, and Quinn requested the paperwork to
allow the
two of them to be transferred to another class.
‘Those guys are a worry but they should be okay.’ Quinn thought, but still had Shiro on his
mind.
Thinking about whether Shiro did eventually make the request to learn the ability, Quinn
had some
questions of his own. The Blade ability that had been explained by Vorden at the start of his
first year at
military school, had the ability to copy the MC cells of humans. At the time, when Quinn
had learnt the
shadow ability, Vorden was unable to copy his ability due to the vampire’s body structure
being slightly
different to humans.
This was why, even though an ability like Peter’s, which was able to be learnt by both
vampires and
humans, Vorden and Sil had both been unable to copy the ability that belonged to Peter.
Just because Vorden was unable to copy the shadow ability from Quinn, didn’t mean that it
was
impossible for humans to learn, but there were a few things that did make him think this. It
was when
Quinn had discovered the ability book itself.
Learning the ability, it stated that one had to be blooded, or rather the system stated that,
but the
system although mostly right, wasn’t always right. There were always ways to bypass things,
especially
with an ability like Vincent’s.
In the first palace, it wasn’t clear why certain abilities were able to be learnt by humans, and
some by
vampires while others both. It was clear more research needed to be put into this, but it just
never
happened due to humans not knowing about this, and vampires not caring.
‘Maybe I could be the researcher on this subject, with your help, of course.’ Quinn said,
talking to
Vincent.
‘And I suppose Shiro will be your test subject? Careful with what lines you are treading on.’
Vincent
warned sternly.
Another reason, why Quinn doubted one could learn the shadow, was because the ability
book was
discovered locked up on its own, and Quinn had assumed at the time, it was due to them
not being able
to find a person that was able to learn the ability.
‘Was that really the case though? Maybe they were attacked at the time when they had just
discovered
the book, or maybe it was at a higher level than the person was capable of learning?”
Thinking about this, Quinn wondered if he was to teach Shrio, would it be best to teach it
himself like he
did so with the others from the Cursed faction. Although they were able to learn the ability,
it was learnt
at an incredibly slow pace.
‘Vincent, if there was one book found there, then shouldn’t there be others, and are there
lower level
shadow books?’ Quinn asked.
‘I’m afraid you are asking the wrong person Quinn. The Punishers were always treated as a
separate
family; what they did was down to them. To be honest, the other families haven’t even
created books
for their abilities. There might be one book in secret in their possession in case the family
dies out, but
there wouldn’t be multiple copies. Perhaps when Arthur was going into his slumber he had
decided to
do this, or it was a request made by someone else.’
It was too bad that Quinn, now with Arthur being against him, was unable to ask the person
directly.
However, it did mean there were chances that there were other shadow books out there, and
they
would have the proper cultivation techniques and methods to teach one the ability. Even if
he couldn’t
use it to teach Shiro if he decided to, he could use it to improve the others in the Cursed
faction.
Now the question was, where would the possible shadow books be? In Quinn’s mind there
were three
places most likely for this. The first one would be where he had found the shadow book in
the first
place. When he first had arrived at the planet the place was far too dangerous for him, now
though he
was a completely different person.
No intermediate beast and rats were going to stop him from looking at the place all over.
‘However, the military did already search that place quite thoroughly, with Paul.’
The other option was where Arthur was first found. After all, the Punishers had been
relocated to that
planet. After Arthur decided to go into eternal slumber, it made sense for one to perhaps
create books
for the future. Arthur, having spent so much time with the shadow ability, would have liked
to pass on
the knowledge that he had learnt to those underneath him.
Maybe he even felt the same way as Quinn and wished to teach it to all the vampires that
had left with
him.
‘Thinking about going back there is a little worrying though.’ Quinn thought. ‘There is a
chance that
Arthur could still be there, and I remember there was meant to be a human settlement
there.’
The more Quinn thought of Arthur’s past actions, he just couldn’t think of him as a bad guy.
Ever since
waking up all he had done was help Quinn and help humans. It hurt him inside to know
something had
changed in him.
‘Well, I guess that leaves one more place. The fourteenth castle.’
The castle that originally belonged to the Punishers and was still standing in the vampire
world.
It didn’t take long for Quinn to take action, there weren’t too many important matters in the
school. He
enjoyed his time here, but he still trusted Helen and Peter to deal with whatever mess came
at them.
‘Well maybe not Peter, but he would at least inform me.’ Quinn thought.
Quinn had decided to contact the tenth castle directly, and in doing so he had gotten in
contact with
Paul. He had made his request clear, that he wanted to briefly return to the vampire world
for a short
time, in order for him to search the fourteenth castle.
Although, he thought that he might be able to do this without much trouble anyway. He
didn’t want to
waltz in unannounced, especially since it was something to do with the shadow users. He
was sure Bryce
and the others might be on high alert after his little warning message.
Surprisingly, it didn’t take long for them to get an answer back either. The request had been
accepted.
Quinn could go back to the vampire world in order to search the fourteenth castle. However,
there was
one restriction that was placed.
While he was to search the castle, Bryce wanted someone to attend with him.
“So what’s your answer Quinn? If you want, I could ask that I go to your place, you don’t have
to come
back here.” Paul said over the call.
“No it’s okay. I don’t think it will be a problem and I have nothing to hide anyway.” Quinn
replied. “I
would like to search for it myself. I’m sure there might be some things that will need my
ability, and I can
handle Kazz, don’t worry.”
My Vampire System Chapter 974: Replacement teacher
As stated before, Quinn being in the position he was in, was free to leave as he wished. Even
if he had
classes to teach, such as the homeroom class and the beast weapons class, he just needed to
inform
them beforehand and that’s exactly what he did.
To his surprise, the person who would be taking his homeroom class was Hayley. Honestly,
Quinn was
quite happy with the choice, considering how well the class had reacted to her the last time
she had
taught. On top of this, he remembered the times when he was at school and would often
have to come
to the medical room.
Hayley never seemed like a bad person, and anyone who was a doctor for the students had to
be a
caring person, or at least he hoped so. Healers were highly sought after, and it would have
been easy for
her to get a position at any top faction. Perhaps she had other reasons as to why she had
chosen to stay
with the military, like her father being a Head general at the time. Still, she had even been
there when
Peter and Layla were injured and tried to help the best she could, but he didn’t know if that
was just
because she was actually Paul’s daughter.
As for the person who would be taking over the beast weapon class, Quinn didn’t know who
that was as
he didn’t recognise the name but thought it would be fine if it was only for a few days anyway.
He didn’t
plan to stay on the vampire planet for long, not after he had just come back.
It seemed like every time he returned, bad things would happen, so he didn’t exactly have
the best of
memories for the place.
It was the start of the day and while Hayley was fine with being a substitute she did wonder
what
General Hardy had that was so important that he needed to leave so suddenly. Currently, she
was
having a cup of coffee and was in the teacher’s lounge. A room where the teachers could rest
and take a
break. They had coffee machines, snacks, sofas and all sorts. Even a nice relaxing pod for one
to take a
quick power nap.
Inside the teacher’s lounge, Hayley wasn’t alone as she was talking to her work colleagues,
Nathan, and
Fay. The two other sergeants that were under Quinn and in the same group as each other.
“What’s wrong? Hayley, you have a concerned look on your face, are you a little nervous
being a
homeroom teacher after being a doctor for so long?” Fay asked.
She gave out a big sigh.
“It’s not that, it’s about the Earthborn generals. They seem to be quite arrogant and
remember what I
told you about what happened, well it seems like they still are planning to do something. I
can’t believe
they just openly were talking about it as if I wasn’t even there.
“These are our students as well, how are they meant to learn when the adults are secretly
fighting and
plotting behind their backs?”
It had been something that was on her mind since. The order of the military had changed
quite a bit due
to Oscar, and many were displeased with it. In the past, Hayley would have to obey
completely to any of
the head generals, regardless if they were part of a different military base.
And, Innu, Samantha and Sach used to be some of the best of the best when it came to the
strength of
the military generals. However, now with the new structure, technically she was only to obey
Hardy,
who was her head general, and Oscar the overall supreme commander.
But she understood what Oscar wanted to show, that the military wasn’t a single force, the
military was
a group composed of all these groups that would share resources and forces. Of course,
some didn’t like
this and it was hard to get used to, but what kept them together was the idea that they still
had Oscar at
the very top.
After all, the other groups in the alliance had their own personal forces that were just as
strong.
“From what you told me before, it seems like Hardy is no small fry in the Cursed faction. If
he has that
much power, then I wouldn’t worry too much about what they plan to do with him.” Said
Nathan.
“Honestly, sometimes these people need to be filtered out of the system whether it’s through
thier own
stupid actions or someone playing their hand, it was the same with Duke, and I know how
we all felt
about him.”
Taking on what Nathan said, she just hoped this whole thing didn’t get ugly, there had to be
a reason
why Oscar was letting things play out the way they were.
———
The homeroom class went on well for Hayley, obviously there were many in the class that
asked ‘Where
did teacher Hardy go?’. But it was easy to explain since he was a Head general. They
imagined he would
be busy discussing deals, or even doing something with the military group rather than the
school.
However, the beast class was a different story. For Quinn’s replacement they had grabbed a
teacher
from one of the other groups in the Earthborn who went by the name Aden. It wasn’t that he
was a bad
teacher, although the students still hadn’t found that out yet, it was the fact that he kept
complaining
about Hardy’s teaching methods.
“How could he just let you all try out any weapons you like?” Aden puffed. “You guys are only
kids and
hardly know much about our abilities and next to nothing about beast weapons. You, what’s
your
ability?”
“Erghh telekinesis?” Venus answered.
“With your type of ability a ranged beast weapon is best, or at least a projectile that you can
throw.
There are some users that have a dagger tied to a strong piece of string and use that in
combat as well.”
Aden carried on this way, going from student to student asking what their ability was and
recommending a type of weapon or would outright hand them one. The students
themselves were
conflicted by this method.
Some of them were struggling with picking a beast weapon to use, after all, there were so
many and
they liked that someone told them what was best. While others didn’t like the fact that they
had been
shoved a weapon that they didn’t particularly want, even if it suited their ability.
It was two different styles that left the classroom divided, and there was one particular
problem when it
came to one student.
“And what ability do you have?” Aden asked.
Shiro looked around for a few seconds, he didn’t want to answer because he knew it would
make him a
target amongst others, but someone else who used to go to his school shouted out the
answer for him,
“He doesn’t have any ability, sir!” A student shouted out.
The others who didn’t know about this started to gossip, as it was a rare sight and were
wondering how
he had gotten so far or his reasoning for not having one.
He was waiting for the teacher to say something, but rather than say anything, he just moved
on, and
Shiro could see the words he mouthed with his lips under his breath.
“Waste of time.”
Seeing this, Shiro was angry, angry with himself.
‘Quinn, did you really go through all this as well?’ Shiro thought, as he was embarrassed and
ignored as
if he was just a piece of trash.
——
Using a teleporter at the school, Quinn was able to travel aboard the Cursed ship in nearly
an instant.
There was a quick hello to everyone as he walked past, but there was no time for idle chit
chat as Quinn
wanted to get this done as soon as possible.
From the Cursed ship, he would use the teleporter to head back to the vampire world.
Although he
would have to travel through two teleporters, it was better than having a teleporter at school
that
linked to the vampire world.
Once stepping through, he had finally appeared in the tenth castle directly into the new
throne room. It
was the normal dark colours that surrounded the large hall, with large stained glass
windows
overlooking the area. In front a red carpet laid out going all the way all to the arching doors.
What did
take Quinn by surprise, was that there were two people there to greet him. Paul for one, and
the other
was Kazz.
‘Wow, Bryce really does like to work fast.’
“It’s nice to meet you again Quinn.” Paul said. “Things have been going well here, I hope
they have been
so for you on the other side as well.”
Walking away from the teleporter, he walked forward and Kazz started to follow.
“A few small problems here and there, but nothing I can’t handle, and by the way, your
daughter is
doing well. I hope you two can see each other soon.”
Paul, had one of his few genuine smiles on his face after hearing this
Quinn soon left the room and his next destination was the fourteenth castle.
‘I wonder what I will find there?’
My Vampire System Chapter 975: Same same, but different
After Sil had visited Peter, once again using his soul weapon and putting on a new mud
mask, Sil was
able to change his appearance. This time, there needed to be quite the change to what Sil
would look
like, since others would know if he just changed something like one’s hair colour. With Peter
not being
the best on the spot thinker, he could only produce what he could see in front of him.
A few seconds later, Sil looked like an almost identical copy of Chucky. A plain ordinary
looking face with
a short haircut. This time nothing that would make one stand out, however, there was one
slight
difference and that was now Sil’s hair was jet black, while Chucky’s hair was more of a darker
brown.
“Why would you do that, we almost look exactly the same?” Chucky asked.
“Almost look the same?” Peter thought, and only realised himself that he had given the two
of them a
different hair colour. “I must have forgotten a detail while making the mask. Trust me, you
don’t stand
out, and just because there are two of you, it won’t make a difference. They might even think
you’re the
same person.”
Chucky knew who Peter was, he was meant to be a reliable person, named the Cursed ship
protector.
This was due to the incident that had happened right when the Crow’s had joined, as Peter
dealt with an
annoyance quickly, but Chucky was beginning to realise that fighting might be the only
thing he was
good at.
What was worse, was the class that Chucky and Sil had now transferred to, was Peter’s class.
Although
Peter wasn’t the main teacher, he was an assistant. Someone who would often just sit in the
back and
stare at the students.
If anything, Peter was kind of a frightening figure to the students. When Peter had first
joined, the
teacher had asked him if he could help with several things, or what he was good at, but it
seemed like
Peter didn’t know anything and everything he touched or tried to assist with would just end
up being
worse.
There were even a number of expensive items that when Peter couldn’t figure out how to use,
he would
resort to hitting it, and breaking it altogether.
Therefore the teacher asked him to just control the class and catch the misbehaved kids that
weren’t
paying attention. Chucky, watched Peter’s method for this, and found him quite frightening.
If a few kids
in class would start to speak out of turn, he would appear out of nowhere standing right
behind them,
peeking over their shoulder.
He could keep eye contact, and wouldn’t even blink until eventually the students looked
away. There
were then several students who had attempted to challenge Peter to a staring competition
but no one
succeeded and they all turned their heads.
The kids could feel a tingle in their spine and and heavy weight in the air. After that, they
never spoke
again.
“Is this why they call him zombie Peter?” The students thought.
“Look at his eyes, and even when we don’t think he is paying attention, somehow he’s able to
hear us.
He’s always watching.”
“I’m having nightmares. One time I woke up and I thought I saw him standing in the corner
of the
room.”
“Yeah,I heard him shouting, don’t look at me, stop stop!”
“It might have been him, I think he never sleeps, there’s a bet going around that if anyone
can get a
photo of him sleeping, there will be a reward of at least 50,000 credits.”
For Chucky though, this was just the tip of the iceberg. What was the worst thing, was when
the two of
them had transferred over, Peter was in charge of making the new name for Sil. After all,
now everyone
knew Sil and was looking for him, he needed a new alias and he had decided to go with Lis.
‘It was as if he didn’t even try, you think people aren’t going to be able to work out that it’s
just Sil spelt
backwards?’ Chucky thought.
Nonetheless, he was happy that Sil could keep on continuing classes. After being with him a
while he
was also quite surprised that Sil still wanted to still attend school. He thought based on how
shy and
afraid of everything, he hated school but it didn’t seem to be the case.
After Chucky had learnt this, the whole thing seemed a bit heartwarming and now Chucky
wanted to do
what he could to help him out.
Still he had to be careful to not make him angry, especially after witnessing his power.
——
Over where Shiro, Venus and Swin were, they were currently in another beast class lesson,
run by Aden
again, and today he seemed to be even angrier than yesterday.
Today’s lesson was about teaching the kids how to activate the beats weapon, in order to
draw the
power from it. However, a lot of students were finding it difficult. Aden had gotten so angry
at one, he
had just whacked the weapon out of the students hand and caused it to throb bright red.
“I thought he was angry on the first day we met him, but now he seems like he was calm the
other day,
what’s wrong with him?” Venus whispered over to Swin.
“I don’t know, but I think he’s pretty annoyed that he has to teach two classes now and cover
for Hardy,
at least that’s what seems to be the route of the problem.’ Swin replied.
There were more reasons than that. It was true that Aden was annoyed that his workload
had increased,
but it wasn’t like he wasn’t getting compensated for doing so. At first he thought it would be
as simple
as just replicating what needed to be done in his own class.
Yet, the first lesson had to be spent reteaching them due to what Hardy had taught, and now
they
couldn’t seem to progress with the second lesson either.
“What is wrong with you guys. The other classes have already all learnt how to activate the
beast
weapons and now are moving onto the next stage!” Aden complained.
What Aden didn’t know, was that a lot of the students that were attending General Hardy’s
class were
actually from class 2A. Knowing that they had weak abilities, or thier MC cells could never
be improved
upon, they had decided to take the beast class.
On top of this, his demonstration in class, his speeches, had actually inspired a lot of them.
So a lot of
low level students, who were slow or weak, were attending the beast class. Aden, was
thinking that it
was due to Hardy’s bad teaching, not realising this was the case.
Still, at least Aden did carry on teaching them as he should, and a light slap on the wrist here
and there
from anger was as far as he would go.
“I feel bad for Shiro?” Swin whispered while the two of them were pretending to try and
activate their
weapons. They too didn’t really understand the concept behind it, and were avoiding the
teacher afraid
of getting a slap themselves, at the same time it seemed like the teacher was avoiding them.
However, there was one person he didn’t even try to look at even once, and that was Shiro.
Who had
been left on his own since Aden had become a teacher. He was on his own trying to learn
how to
activate the weapons, and unknown to everyone else, he had already succeeded, but Shiro
wouldn’t
brag, because he knew it wouldn’t get him anywhere.
‘I’m one step closer to proving myself, if Quinn and Sil won’t teach me their ability, then I
still need to
show through handwork that I can be put to use.’ Shiro thought.
When class ended, Aden rallied up all the students and just shook his head as he looked at
them all. Out
of the hundred and fifty or so students, only twenty five were able to activate the weapons,
which was
appalling.
Due to how slow others were at learning, it took some time for him to even go around to
reach
everyone. Before he knew it, the class was over.
“Look, I’m not trying to be an angry teacher but I just don’t want you guys to embarrass
yourselves.”
Aden said. “After next week, all the beast weapon classes are going to have a joint class, and
we’re going
to have a little competition. Based on how well you do, you will be awarded points that will
go towards
your Cursed house.
“Honestly, if you guys go out there now like this, you’re all going to be slaughtered.”
Some of the students were nervous after finding out about this news. They already felt bad
not knowing
how to activate their weapons and learning this just gave them more pressure. Usually in
sparring
matches, including beast weapons ones, they were allowed to use their ablates aswell. To
simulate true
warfare.
‘Maybe this is my chance to show myself, if all the other generals from the other groups are
going to be
there.’ Shiro thought.
While Venus and Swim had another thought.
‘A week’s time, I hope General Hardy is back by then, otherwise I feel like we’re going to get
nowhere
with this teacher, maybe he can teach us a few things. Our whole class is going to become a
laughing
stock.’ Swin thought.
`Hardy, Just what are you doing?”
My Vampire System Chapter 976: The fourteenth castle secrets
While Quinn was at the tenth castle, he didn’t want to be seen by any of the others. After all,
he didn’t
plan on staying here for a long time. He knew how much the vampires respected leaders and
how much
a morale boost it would be if he was here, but he didn’t want to get their hopes up. Learning
that
everything was going okay and there had been no problems was enough for Quinn.
“Bryce didn’t inform the others of my return did he?” Quinn wondered, as he walked down
the castle
stairs with Kazz. It had been a while since the two of them talked, but ever since the fight
with Bryce and
the time he had spent with her, he felt like the two of them were now on neutral ground.
At least no longer enemies that were trying to rip each other’s throat out.
“I don’t know how much I’m permitted to tell you.” Kazz replied. “However, I will say that
Bryce seems
to be doing more than he is allowed for you. Something like this would usefully have to be
voted on by
the council and then the king would get a say, or the King can ask for a vote, but no such
thing
happened. This agreement for you to search the castle is a secret.”
Although Quinn wondered why such a thing needed to be kept a secret, he was fine if it did.
He would
rather not have the other family members know what he was doing in the first place.
Because of this,
Quinn carefully used his shadow travel to move between the tenth castle to the fourteenth
castle.
From the outside, it was an impressive piece of work. Nearly all the castles looked identical
apart from
three. One of them being the king’s castle in the centre, it was larger than the others but still
fit in style,
the other was the castle they were staring at now.
Rather than being created with rugged spikes and gothic features it had a more classic castle
feel with
several cylinder towers and long walls. One of the most noticeable things were the giant
black chains
that would lead up to the very top of the main castle.
“Do they have a particular use or are they just for show?” Quinn asked.
“Isn’t that what you here to find out?” Kazz replied. She stood there looking at Quinn as if he
was
waiting to do something, but even he didn’t know where to start.
The last castle that looked different from the others, was now the tenth castle with its new
and
improved upgrades from the system.
Before approaching the door, a voice in Quinn’s head was heard.
‘Careful Quinn, remember the tower that Arthur had slept in last time? He had set up a trial
for anyone
who dared to climb it, perhaps there is something similar in his castle.’ Vincent warned.
Taking the warning onboard, Quinn proceeded cautiously.
“Has anyone else entered the fourteenth castle, since Arthur and us?” Quinn asked.
Remembering there
was one time that Quinn had been brought along, and that was when he had learnt of
Arthur’s tale as
well.
“As I said before, Usually with these types of matters a vote would be cast. After all,one
leader entering
another’s castle is the equivalent of declaring war. Whenever a vote would take place, the
result was
always the same, to leave it be.
“You see, some thought that maybe going inside the castle would activate something. Warn
the
Punishers out there that something was up, and the one thing many of the vampires didn’t
want was for
them to come back. While others respected the Punishers and thought it should be left
untouched for
their rightful owners.”
Now, Quinn was starting to understand why Bryce had decided to agree to all of this behind
their backs,
but as long as it benefited Quinn, he wouldn’t care.
Going up to the door, Quinn could see the normal strange lock-like combination. One that
was on all of
the other castles.
“You don’t happen to know the code do you? Or got it from Muka?” Quinn asked.
Hearing this answer, Kazz didn’t reply but she was kind of disappointed. It didn’t matter
though, because
with the skill shadow travel, one was able to travel on the ground and they could get past any
wall.
Another frightening thing about the Punishers to the other vampires.
After using shadow travel one more time, the two of them popped up in the castle, and the
automatic
light crystals started to light up as they entered each room and walked down each hallway.
Although the
outside might have looked different, the inside of the castle reminded Quinn a lot of his.
Untouched,
unused and not lived in.
The search through the castle was quite a tedious one, as there were many rooms and the
whole place
was vast and large. Quinn would have liked the help of others, but couldn’t trust someone
else in case
they missed something, and at the same time, Kazz wasn’t leaving Quinn’s side even for a
second.
Luckily, Quinn found that with his system, using the inspect skill would usually show him if
there was
anything worth looking at in certain rooms. Going through each of the floors, searching
them physically
and using his inspect skill, Quinn was finding it hard to find anything.
‘It would make sense, when the Punishers left this place they probably took everything
important with
them.’
Eventually though, near the top floor, Quinn had stumbled across something. It was either a
library
room, or an office. It was hard to tell because there was a desk but the room was filled with
books from
side to side.
Quinn remembered being in here before, one time when Arthur had brought them, there
was a secret
compartment that was used to hide alcohol. Using his inspection skill, he was able to spot
the secret
place, which pleased him. It meant, using the inspect skill, he was likely to find something
else as well.
It wasn’t long either until he stumbled across something. His inspection skill revealed that
behind the
bookshelf, there was something else, as if it was a hidden room. Using the great vampire
strength. It
didn’t take much for him to move the shelf.
‘That certainly seems a bit lax of security to be hiding something like this?’ Vincent thought.
However, when they got inside and found out what was in it, Quinn understood why. There
were no
treasures, ability books or secret powerful weapons. Instead, it was more like another library
inside the
hidden room. A library where all the books were written by Arthur himself.
Going to the dusty shelf, Quinn had grabbed about five of them, grouping them together,
and then sat
on the floor crossed leg. Placing the pile of his books to one side and taking one of them.
“What are you doing, are those useful?” Kazz asked.
“Not really?” Quinn said as he started to skim through the first few pages. “It seems like all
these books
are Arthur’s personal journal during his life.”
“Then why are you reading them?” Kazz asked.
“Because I need to know what type of person Arthur is.”
One by one, Quinn would read through the journals and as expected it really was Arthur
documenting
his life. What was even more impressive, was the starting journals were written about the
time before
he had been turned into a vampire.
How he had lived his life as King Arthur. From all the words Quinn read, one after another,
he could tell
that Arthur was a good king. A good leader for the humans back in their time. A king who
would fight on
the front line for his people. Someone who cared about each and all of them dearly.
“Did the vampires do something to them?” Quinn wondered. “Is that what set him off? It
would make
sense if he learnt about the past or something like that?”
Still, only reading the starting journals, Quinn was unable to find out much. Only how
Arthur felt, but
soon they had gone into a time when Arthur had been turned into a Punisher. It seemed like
it had
become a habit for Arthur to document everything. They weren’t details of everyday life, but
details of
crucial events or important memories for himself.
He even wrote about the day that he was turned, and when he found all his knights being
hurt.
Everything was how Arthur had described it to them, and what Quinn had seen in the vision
the
Boneclaw had given him.
‘I guess when you have lived that long, it’s nice to have a hobby and do something like this.’
Quinn sat down there reading every single little bit, going through all the journals. He was
able to read
at a faster pace than a human, as he could process information faster, while flicking through
the pages
and seeing the words, but it still took quite a long time.
Even Kazz had opened one of the books, but after reading it for a short while she closed it,
realising
there really wasn’t anything important.
However, soon Quinn stumbled across an interesting subject that Arthur was looking into. It
seemed like
Arthur was researching where abilities had originally come from, and when was the first
appearance of
an ability, even among originals.
Linking to this, there were a few main things, one he had written details about the True first
king, not
the Eno family king, but the one before that who had the shadow ability.
‘The True King was only captured and not dead. No longer has their ability, but could still be
dangerous
if woken up. Eno advises to never wake up the True King. Even without an ability he has the
power to
overcome them all.’
For some reason, knowing that this was written by Arthur, made Quinn shiver thinking
about the true
king’s strength.
‘The strongest of the original vampires, but where did he get his ability?’ Arthur wrote.
Lastly though, it seemed like he had found a link, but was never able to explore it.
‘First abilities, linked back to a giant stone tablet.’
Quinn had never thought much about the world learning about abilities, he just thought
humans
naturally evolved to learn them, and many kept them a secret, but now knowing what
Arthur had found,
it seemed like it was more likely to have come from something, or someone.
‘Giant stone tablet, that reminds me a lot of that giant stone table that was on the Blade
island as well…’
My Vampire System Chapter 977: The Punishers' leader
Quinn continued to read through Arthur’s journals, he was starting to become fascinated
about learning
where abilities originated from. Arthur had written it in such detail that Quinn felt like he
was learning
about each detail himself.
According to the journals, there were times when Arthur would have a quiet period in his
life.
Depending on who the king was at the time, and as the Punisher’s reputation grew among
vampires,
less crimes were committed and Eno’s goal was starting to work.
These peaceful periods could last for years and due to the Punisher’s special ability, even if
Arthur was
away, the vampires feared that he could come back at any time.
During his search, he had found that there were a few people with abilities starting to
emerge. Arthur
would be able to connect with them by showing off his own ability, sometimes he would use
the
shadow, other times he would just show his super strength or speed and play it off as an
ability.
When asking how one had learnt of an ability, the answer was often someone taught them it,
but this
was quite vague as to who, or if it was a family member. The people who would know the real
answer
were already dead.
However, some people did have knowledge of what their ancestors passed on. Saying that an
image of a
giant stone tablet appeared in their head before the powers had come to them.
From the current set of vampires, none of them were the original ability carriers. No
Originals were
awake and at this point and time, Eno had gone into eternal slumber, and he didn’t want to
wake his
friend from his sleep just to answer a curiosity of his that had become a hobby.
‘It looks like there isn’t any more information on abilities after this book.’ Quinn said,
placing it down
and realised he was coming to an end of all the journals.
After reading the last one, it explained the war that was brewing between the Punishers and
the
vampires. Having finally decided to take his people and leave the place. The journals ended
there. When
the castle was abandoned and never updated.
‘I wonder if he continued writing journals on the other planet in his tower. Maybe there were
some
places me and Fex missed, it would be interesting to know if he ever found out about the
abilities, or
discovered the stone tablet he was looking for.’ Quinn thought.
‘You have a point, it seemed he was quite intrigued by this. After a certain amount of years,
still living
becomes quite a chore for some, and I imagine it was even worse for Arthur. Finding the
origin of
abilities could have been the only thing that kept him going.’
It looked like there was nothing left in the room, so getting up off the ground, Quinn was
ready to move.
He didn’t know how long he had been reading the books for, but Kazz was no longer in the
room.
Exiting, he could see Kazz had her head on the desk with it tilted on its side.
‘Is she sleeping? A vampire sleeping while on duty, her? I must have been in there a really
long time for
that to happen?’ He thought.
Walking up to her slowly, Quinn could see her delicate face, her hair that was placed in two
buns making
her appearance seem a bit childish.
When Kazz first arrived she acted a bit like a child, but soon Quinn knew it was all an act to
let his guard
down, she was quite the clever girl, although a little lost.
‘Who can blame her when you have a father like Bryce.’ Quinn thought.
All vampires were extraordinary in beauty compared to humans, it was as if they didn’t have
a blemish
on their skin. There was no need to put makeup on unless they wanted to make their pale
skin seem
darker.
Looking at Kazz’s face he thought the same thing.
‘I think she would look better with her hair down.’ Quinn thought, as he got closer, but a
crack in the
floor caused her to spring up.
“What are you doing!” She said having already extended her fingernails. “Are you trying to
kill me in my
sleep?!”
“I was just walking around carefully because I didn’t want to wake you.” Quinn said, as he
pointed to the
side of her own mouth.
Kazz then could feel something on her chin a little wet and realised that she had dribbled a
little while in
her sleep.
“Come on, let’s get out of here!” Kazz said storming out of the room.
‘Isn’t it her job to keep an eye on me?’ Quinn thought, but admittedly thought the whole
thing was quite
cute.
‘She is a woman who is many years your age Quinn.’ Vincent chuckled. ‘First Helen and now
Kazz, I
didn’t realise you liked older women.’
‘Wouldn’t that mean you had also dated a woman who was many, many years younger than
you?’
Quinn snapped back.
‘Careful, that’s your great great, so many great grandmother’s you’re talking about.’
Hearing this, just made the whole thing awkward and Quinn continued his search, seeing
that Kazz was
outside the door waiting for him.
The search from room to room on each floor began again, and it truly looked like it had
been cleared
out. What was strange though, was some items seemed to have been moved recently.
‘Is there a way for Arthur to return to this place as he wishes?’ Quinn asked.
‘As I said, I really don’t know much about the Punishers at all, but perhaps there are skills
that the
system does not know of, and things Arthur created himself.’
Hearing this, Quinn was now a little on high alert. From the dust having been moved in
certain places,
and other things in other places, it certainly looked like someone had been here not too long
ago.
If Arthur had returned, was Quinn ready to fight him? Thinking about this, his body started
to feel a little
sore, from the dreadful beating and state he was left in last time.
Kazz also seemed to be a little uneasy, and Quinn was wondering if she was speaking
through Jill,
communicating this all back to Bryce.
Nothing of interest was found, even in the throne room, which looked like every other
throne room.
However, one last room was locked behind another special combination lock. Judging by the
size from
the outside, it was as equally big as the throne room.
“What’s wrong, is something inside?” Kazz asked.
“No, I just find it a little strange that this room is locked,” Quinn said, as he used the shadow
travel and
took them inside.
Getting out of the shadow. The first thing that caught his eye was another throne. Each
castle had one
like before, but this one was different. The red carpet on the floor went from the doors
leading up the
small stairs and finally it reached the grand chair, a bright red chair that was quite clear in
colour.
Seeing the chair herself, Kazz’s heartbeat started to accelerate and beat a little louder. A
thought had
crossed her mind but she was unsure what the chair was.
Quinn using his inspect skill on the chair, he too was truly shocked.
“A throne made completely of blood crystals…How many vampires were killed to make that
thing?”
It wasn’t just a chair that had been crafted using blood crystals, like a blood weapon would
be, it was as
if thousands of blood crystals had been fused together to make such a chair.
“That man is sick!” Kazz couldn’t help but say. “How could someone happily sit on a chair
everyday that
reminded them of what they had done, is he proud?”
No, Quinn knew that wasn’t the case from the journals he read. Kazz was right about one
thing, it was a
reminder. A reminder to himself what his cruel job was. In his journals he felt like a villain at
times, and
the vampires sometimes saw him that way, and he had to stick to that role, even convincing
himself.
Something was drawing Quinn to the chair, he started walking towards it, and was
fascinated by the red
colour glow. He didn’t know what it was about the chair that was drawing him in. Then when
he had
reached the top of the small platform, he looked at Kazz who looked back at him strangely.
First Quinn, slid his fingers across the armrest, he could feel an energy but it was trapped
inside the
crystal, then finally, he decided to sit in it.
[The fourteenth castle has been abandoned]
[The castle wishes for a new leader]
[Would you like the accept the title, ‘Leader of the Punishers?’]
My Vampire System Chapter 978: The Punisher Title
When Quinn had decided to come to the fourteenth castle, he expected to find some secrets.
Either skill
books or maybe learn more about the shadow. What he wasn’t expecting, was to find a
throne made
out of pure blood crystals and once sitting in it, to receive a title.
‘Leader of the Punishers?’ Quinn read out in his mind. It was clear what the title meant, but
unfortunately, Quinn was unable to see the details of the title or what effects it would bring.
It looked
like the system wanted him to either accept or decline the offer at this very moment.
Titles were very powerful things, given certain buffs when fighting and also other things.
Allowing him to
gain reputation points and even building the towers at the tenth castle, but this was why he
was
struggling with the decision.
‘If I choose to accept this title, does it get rid of the one from the tenth family?’
So far no titles had been lost, there was even one that could be selected that was a stark
reminder of his
dear friend Edward, however it could never be used to its full capacity now. Still, it seemed
this one
would conflict with his others, but perhaps he could just switch between them when needed
like the
tenth title.
‘I believe the system will possibly warn you like in a game.’ Vincent chimed in. ‘Think about
it, when you
select yes on this title, it should proceed by saying, accepting this title will get rid of xx title.
I played
quite a few games in my past.’
‘Vincent is a gamer, and he’s clearly proud of it.’ Quinn thought, honestly if the tenth title
did disappear
it would only be in the system anyway. Surely, Bryce and the other council members would
still think of
Quinn as the leader, regardless of what the system said.
The thing he would lose most was the towers. At this point, Quinn was leaning towards
accepting the
title, and he had nearly selected yes, but there was one last thing that was troubling him.
‘What will happen to Arthur, what will he think? Will he know I have taken over his castle,
or will he
think I have decided to become a part of the Punishers and part of the vampire settlement?’
In the end, it was this thought that caused Quinn to push yes and accept the title. Arthur
was coming
and he needed every bit of help and power that was needed.
[The title ‘Leader of the Punishers’ has been granted]
[You have unlocked the fourteenth castle area zone]
[Reputation points will be granted based on how fellow Punishers respect you]
[The store can now be used in the fourteenth zone]
As soon as Quinn accepted the title, the seat started to light up slightly, and Kazz was
getting ready to
get out of the place, but soon the light dimmed and disappeared. In Kazz’s eyes, not much
had changed,
but quite a few things in Quinn’s system had been updated.
The first set of rewards were similar to what Quinn got when he had received the tenth title.
He got
reputation points that were based on how people from that family looked at you, although
he wasn’t
sure what Punishers meant. Did it include Arthur, or all those that he had taught the
shadow skill to.
The good thing was it looked like the reputation points earned from the tenth leader title
could be used
to build things in the fourteenth zone. On top of this, the titles were able to be switched out
to each
other. There was no loss of the tenth leader title.
‘Maybe it’s best not to build anything for now. Although I have accepted this title, I don’t
want the other
families to know about it. Besides, who would attack a castle with no people, who or what do
I have to
protect?’
The next set of rewards were more based on skills that could be used while Quinn was in the
fourteenth
area and had the title active.
[While in the fourteenth zone, the user may borrow and give their shadow to other
Punishers at will]
Before when Quinn had borrowed the shadow from the others, it was forcefully taken but
after
speaking to them, they willingly wanted to help Quinn out at the time.
It sounded like as long as they were in the fourteenth zone, Quinn was able to take the
shadow
regardless of where they were and give it back, or perhaps help those that were weaker.
‘It’s a shame that it’s only limited to the fourteenth area, but it just means I have to increase
my shadow
as much as I can in the first place.’
Other than that, there didn’t seem to be any grand rewards, so Quinn decided to check out
the map that
would show him to the area of the fourteenth castle. When looking through this, Quinn also
noticed
something else a bit off about the castle map itself.
When going to his location, he could see that even where he was right now, there was
another room
behind them, behind the throne.
Quinn immediately stood up, which caused Kazz to jump back a few feet.
“Quinn, tell me now, have you gone mad!” Kazz said. “Has that chair taken over your mind?!”
Quinn looked at her for a few seconds.
“I’m glad to know that you won’t outright attack me and at least ask me first,” Quinn replied
with a
smile.
Walking up to the wall behind the throne. Quinn could see a giant rug like material that had
been hung
behind the wall. Ripping it off to the side, another circle combination lock could be seen.
Going up to it, Quinn wondered something and grazed his fingers against the lock.
[The castle has accepted you as the leader]
[Would you like to unlock the door?]
Quinn didn’t think much of it, and the wheel started to turn itself until it eventually
unlocked for him on
the spot, and started to push itself open.
“I thought you didn’t know any of the combinations to the locks?” Kazz asked.
“This one didn’t need one.” Quinn lied and started to walk through the secret door.
Kazz was a little hesitant following, but soon did, and she stayed away from the red crystal
throne,
acting as if it was bad luck if it was to touch her.
When they had entered the room, she could see Quinn standing there still, and surrounding
him were
pieces of rubble all over the floor.
“What is this? Did you do this?” Kazz asked.
“You would have heard me if I did,” Quinn said, lifting one of the pieces of rubble, and Kazz
had done
the same as well.
Quinn didn’t know what he was expecting, but he wasn’t expecting this. It seemed like the
room had
several walls that had certain things written on them, or illustrations but it had all been
destroyed and
quite recently as well.
With Kazz and Quinn trying to put pieces together, they could tell they were illustrations
and writing,
but it seemed like pieces were either missing or had been turned to dust. After getting most
of the
larger pieces together, Kazz had figured out what it was.
“Damn him!” Kazz yelled. “This was a training room, one that would teach the others how to
use the
shadow. Some of the other leaders have rooms like this as well, but it’s useless like this.”
Quinn had thought the same thing. The words didn’t need to be written down in a book, but
it looked
like all the techniques that Arthur had learned over the years had been drawn out and
explained on the
walls of this large room.
‘In the past, it was a quick way to teach one your ability. You would lock them in a room, and
with all the
illustrations and text with no distractions, the person would get into a certain state. They
would feel as if
the words and text from the walls were coming out to them.’ Vincent explained.
‘Why did he destroy it? Did he think the other vampires would come back and try to learn
the powers?
Was he stopping them from getting the shadow ability, or was he stopping me?’ Quinn
thought.
However, perhaps Arthur was missing one important detail about Quinn. He didn’t know
Quinn was
different to other vampires, and different to the other Punishers. For he also had the system.
[Inspect]
Details of each piece of broken rubble were seen, and the system started to fill up a small
progress bar.
[Gathering information about the shadow]
[You have successfully learnt more about the shadow.]
[New skills have been unlocked]
Although Quinn still was unable to teach others the shadow properly, he had gained far
more than he
had expected from this little trip.
‘Whatever you were hoping to do Arthur, I’m catching up to you.’
My Vampire System Chapter 979: The return of the king
After using the inspect skill on the pieces of rubble, Quinn had gained three new shadow
skills in the
system. He wondered if the entirety of the walls was present, and hadn’t been destroyed if
he would
have been able to extract more information from the room.
Perhaps the system only gave him the skills it could figure out from what was there.
‘Some large pieces are missing from the wall. Did Arthur take them with him so they
couldn’t rebuild it
back together like me and Kazz was doing? Which means the other pieces of the shadow
might be with
Arthur, but why didn’t he just put all the pieces of the walls into his dimensional storage?’
Some things
certainly didn’t make sense, and there was always the chance that it wasn’t Arthur as well,
but who else
could enter the fourteenth castle and would know about all these secrets.
Looking at Kazz she was frustrated. She was still trying to put pieces together but some of it
was just
small pieces of dust. She wasn’t paying attention to him, but Quinn wasn’t going to try any
of the skills
out, right now. He would do so in his own time, away from the prying eyes of others.
‘I’ve learnt that I never know who will be my enemy in the future.’ Quinn thought.
When Kazz finally gave up, the two of them decided to leave the rooms and Quinn also
closed the door
to the room behind them. Making sure it was locked up as well.
‘If I was able to learn a few things from what pieces were present, if they did put it back
together then
maybe they could find something out as well.’
Having searched every area of the castle now, and Quinn knew this due to the new map of
the castle he
had obtained, it was time for him to return back to the school. His work was complete, and
he would
have to try to figure out another way he could teach the others the shadow.
Maybe the information from his system could be extracted somehow, but he could try to
figure out that
bit later. Walking past the red crystal chair, Quinn looked at it for a few seconds.
‘Could we smash it up and take the crystals, maybe we can use it to create something. It’s a
bit of a
waste just having it as a chair.’
‘I think you should leave things as they are in the castle.’ Vincent said. ‘In the first place
having blood
crystals is considered a crime.’
‘So you don’t think that now Bryce knows about it due to Kazz, he won’t take the crystals and
claim it for
himself?’ Quinn asked, and to this Vincent didn’t have an answer
‘I believe the throne is somehow linked to the castle and the system. Destroying the chair
could very
well get rid of your title.’ Vincent argued.
Now this was something, Quinn didn’t want to happen. He looked at the door ahead, and
looked at the
lock on it. Looking at the lock behind him, he figured that Muka wouldn’t have known the
combination
to the hidden room, since it was kept a secret, but maybe there was something he could do
with the
other one.
Walking up to the door, Quinn placed his hand on it, and soon had a smile. Now he was the
leader of the
castle, Quinn could open all locks, but not just that, he could also change the combinations
on them, and
he decided to do this very thing.
A clicking sound was heard, but none of the parts needed to be moved, so Kazz wasn’t too
suspicious
about what he had done.
As long as they didn’t have the shadow ability, or the combination to the lock it would keep
them out.
And even if they did try to attack, now as the owner, Quinn was sure the system would warn
him like it
had done so in the past.
However, Quinn didn’t want to rely on the system. He was afraid that there might be times
in the future
where it wouldn’t warn him. Then it would only be his own fault. Maybe one day the system
would
completely disappear just as easily as it appeared. For now, he would use the advantages it
would come
with, but try not to rely on it.
Before leaving, Kazz looked at the red crystal throne one more time. She couldn’t stop
glancing at it, and
thanks to her being distracted. His actions with the door didn’t seem weird.
“Come on, let’s go!” Quinn shouted. “I think you might be the one who becomes possessed
by it in a
second if you keep looking at it like that!”
Running over to where Quinn was, the two of them entered his shadow and started to go
through each
of the floors heading down to the very last one.
Now, no longer needing to search each room they were able to go out of the castle far
quicker than
before, and once they were out, they appeared in the fourteenth inner area. Quinn cancelled
his skill,
and the two of them popped out, walking on the surface once more.
“So will you be reporting back to Bryce now? Is there anything I need to do or can I just go
back?” Quinn
asked.
Kazz waited a few seconds before replying and now Quinn was sure of it. Everything that
was
happening, everything that had been seen in the fourteenth castle was communicated back
to Bryce.
Through Jill, the two didn’t need to be close, and it seemed even now she was asking him
what he
wanted to do.
“You are free to go back, if there is any trouble we can get in touch with you, and we will
keep your
Knight, Paul, informed and updated.” Kazz answered.
Just as the two of them were about to part ways, a strange black smog in the air was heading
towards
them. It moved as if it was alive, searching for something and once it found what it was
looking for, it
latched on to a destination and headed straight towards the two of them.
‘That smog looks the same as when the Boneclaw is summoned?’ Quinn thought.
And sure enough, when the smog had reached an area around fifteen meters away from
Quinn, it
descended to the ground and the fog started to form into the Boneclaw it was. It stood there
with its
long dangling arms and its giant body.
“Hey, isn’t that your familiar? What’s it doing coming here now?” Kazz thought.
However, Quinn didn’t know either, why didn’t the bone claw just attach itself to him like it
would do in
the past. Was something wrong?
The Boneclaw then lifted one of its long dangling fingers that was like a claw and pointed
straight
towards Quinn.
“You…” A deep voice said. “Prove…yourself.”
Quinn wasn’t really sure what was happening and it seemed like Kazz had a better idea, as
she quickly
extended her nails and moved away.
“Quinn, get ready, don’t you see what’s happening!” She shouted. “The Boneclaw, it doesn’t
think you
are worthy enough to be its master anymore. It’s challenging you to a fight to the death.”
Quinn had heard the stories about familiars, and how they would rather die than work for a
weak
master, and if the situation came to be they would try to kill their master. However, Quinn
was much
stronger now, than when the Boneclaw had first found him, so why would it attempt to do
this?
A little dazed as to how this situation came to be, soon the system had given him the
answers he was
looking for.
[The Boneclaw has regained its lost strength]
[It no longer believes you are fit to be its master]
[Prove yourself and win back the Boneclaw’s trust]
The last thing Quinn had expected was a fight with his own familiar. Something that had
saved his life a
couple of times in the past, but now it was trying to kill him.
“I guess I have no choice.” Quinn said, as he activated the shadow and it rose behind his
back.
My Vampire System Chapter 980: A tricky opponent
On Fex’s execution day, Kazz had seen the power of the Boneclaw, back then, it was able to
go toe to
toe with her father, until eventually its energy was running low. She knew the Boneclaw was
an
incredibly strong familiar that not many vampires would be able to handle.
However, Quinn was someone who had even bested her father in a fight. Yet, for some
reason, the
Boneclaw had attempted to challenge Quinn now. When he was possibly at his strongest.
‘Something had to have changed in the Boneclaw’s reasoning, is Quinn’s desire from before
no longer
matching up with its, or did something happen to the Boneclaw to make it feel this way?’
Finding out the answer to the question wouldn’t help the situation. What she needed to do
right now
was decide if she was going to help Quinn or not.
‘Is the Boneclaw underestimating me?’ Quinn thought. ‘It has been a while since we
separated from
each other and I assure you I have gotten stronger. Or perhaps it considers me weaker than
its last
master?’
[Shadow equip]
Not wanting to underestimate the fight, Quinn made sure to put all pieces of beast gear on
his body,
and that included the red oni type mask on his face. Making the first move, Quinn cast a
shadow path
along the floor, heading straight towards the Boneclaw.
‘If I slow it down, then I can actually hit it dead on, and for the first time ever, I don’t have to
worry
about killing you!’ Quinn thought. As long as there was still a connection between Quinn
and his
familiar, it meant that if the familiar was to die, it simply wouldn’t be able to be summoned
for a while.
The shadow path was one of the slower skills of Quinn’s, and seeing the attack coming
towards the
Boneclaw, it simply entered one of its black portals as it opened and disappeared before the
shadow
could hit it.
A strong claw came out towards Quinn’s right side, but the shadow was able to move from
his back to
stop the attack. However, Quinn was unaware that somehow the Boneclaw was now
attacking from his
right side as well. He had no choice but to lift his arm to block the attack head on.
The claw scraped and hit his gauntlets.
‘Damn, that attack is strong, I can feel the whole blow through my body!’ Quinn thought.
He knew he
couldn’t rely on just his vampire strength to push it back, and started to concentrate and
form his
second stage qi towards his forearm area, and eventually pushed the claw back.
When Quinn regained his composure he could see the Boneclaw was once again, far away.
‘The system wasn’t lying when they said he’s gotten stronger. His teleportation speed and
strength, I’m
sure, are packing more power and faster than before. If he keeps teleporting everywhere,
how am I
meant to get him? None of my blood skills will work.’
Kazz who was standing at the side was watching it all carefully, she wanted to step in as she
had made
the decision herself to help Quinn. But she saw what the Boneclaw had done. While
teleporting its body
to Quinn’s right side and attacking it with one of its arms, it had opened another portal on
Quinn’s left
side, and simply stuck its arm through another black portal it had created.
So the Boneclaw was able to attack two locations on Quinn’s body at once. What was even
more
frightening was, as soon as Kazz took a step forward, another black portal had opened up in
front of her,
and a large dangling claw had appeared, grazing her arm, now throbbing with pain.
It was a clear warning for her not to get involved.
Trying to trap the Boneclaw, Quinn decided to open up a shadow dome, covering both of
them.
Whenever he needed to fight a person one on one, Quinn would use this skill and similar to
the
Boneclaw, he could equally go wherever he wished in the shadow using shadow hop,
seemingly
appearing out of nowhere.
Thinking he had trapped the Boneclaw, Quinn was getting ready to plan his next attack, but
before he
could. The Boneclaw created another portal, and now he was nowhere to be seen.
‘It looks like he can also teleport outside of your dome.’ Vincent said.
It looked like he was right as well, as his Shadow Mc points were going down by the second.
[MC 1200/1260]
[MC 1170/1260]
[MC 1140/1260]
Each hit from the Boneclaw was taking off thirty MC points, and it was rapidly going down
as he had the
dome up.
Closing the dome quickly, Quinn could see the Boneclaw just outside where the edge of it
would be.
“Screw you!” Quinn said, opening his hand showing the palms and then closing it in a fist,
the next
second the Boneclaw had completely disappeared.
[Shadow lock skill activated]
‘You know that won’t stop him for long.’ Vincent said.
‘I know, but I just need time to think. I can’t hit him with any of my blood skills, otherwise
he will just
teleport everywhere, so to be able to hit him I have to slow him down.’
It certainly was a strange fight for Quinn, although he didn’t feel like he couldn’t beat the
opponent in
front of him, it was the most trickiest fight he ever had, and just as Vincent said, it looked
like the
Shadow lock didn’t hold the Boneclaw at all, as he seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
‘So you can teleport out of that as well?’
Quinn thought that perhaps the Boneclaw would start to attack the shadow space, but there
was no
need for that.
Still, trying to come up with something that could hit or slow the Boneclaw down, it looked
like it was
time for the Boneclaw to attack instead. It didn’t move from its spot and was still roughly ten
meters
away from where Quinn’s position was.
Moving its large arms, each time a black portal would appear in front of it, and at the same
time,
another one directly in front of Quinn’s face. He whacked it away out of instinct, seeing the
long
dangling finger.
“He can attack from that far away?!’ But the attacks weren’t over, as the Boneclaw kept
striking the air
around him and the attacks would appear in all sorts of different places around Quinn, from
behind,
from above, and below.
It was as if Quinn was playing the block block game again, striking each of the attacks, and
avoiding the
more dangerous ones, but there was a huge difference between this and the block block
game. The
strikes from the Boneclaw were heavier than ever, and he could see the endurance of his
equipment
were going down by the second.
‘Damn it, Alex worked hard on these.’
Now watching Quinn block the attacks desperately, Kazz began to realise something.
Quinn’s combat
skills for a vampire leader were quite poor. He had strong blood skills, but they were
powered with a
strange power and simple. Perhaps one of his biggest advantages in fights was due to people
not fully
knowing what the shadow could do.
However, here, where his shadow and blood skills didn’t work well against an opponent, one
would be
better off trying to use their hand to hand combat, but the Bone claw, who just did fast
simple attacks
was able to overwhelm him.
Through the barrage of attack, Quinn could see the Bone claw was unmoving, apart from its
arms, and
he saw this as an opportunity. He moved his shadow to block the majority of the attacks,
leaving only a
small hole, and through that hole a single finger could fit through.
[Blood bullet]
Firing off, a blood attack infused with Qi through the small hole made in the shadow, he
could see it
becoming a success. The blood bullet was the fastest attacking Skill Quinn had.
If he couldn’t slow it down, then this would just have to do. The bullet went right through its
shoulder,
and a cloud of black smoke started to appear where the wound was meant to be.
‘Did that really do nothing?’ Quinn thought.
He came to realise that this time, Quinn wasn’t fighting against a beast, or a vampire, where
Qi infused
attacks would do damage or the beast would feel pain. This was a different enemy altogether.
The next second, the Boneclaw disappeared and a large scratch was made towards his back,
going
through Quinn’s armour and reaching his skin, tearing it easily.
His shadow was too preoccupied with the attacks at the front, and he hadn’t moved it
behind him in
time.
‘Is Quinn really going to lose? Someone who defeated my father, and Cindy with the
absolute blood skill,
to a familiar?’ Kazz worriedly thought.
Just what was this familiar that was able to cause so much trouble for Quinn.
“I really didn’t want to do this, and I didn’t think I would have to use it again so soon. After
all the work I
did to get the shadow and now I have to use it against you.” Quinn said, as he placed his
hand on the
ground, and all of the shadow sank spreading out.
[Soul weapon activated]
[Shadow overload]
My Vampire 981
My Vampire System Chapter 981: A waste of time!
Standing by the side, Kazz knew straight away that Quinn had done something. As the last
time he had
fought with Cindy he had done the exact same thing. When Quinn’s soul weapon was active,
a faint
purple glow would appear around all of the shadows Quinn used.
One of the main benefits of using the soul weapon ‘Shadow Overload’ was the fact that
Quinn could
now use the shadow as he wished without the need to worry if it would run out or not.
However, this
wasn’t the reason Quinn had decided to use it now.
The Boneclaw’s teleportation speed was far faster than before. But there were more than just
one
benefit of using the soul weapon. Quinn’s soul weapon would also improve his casting speed
with the
shadow when using skills, and the general movement of his shadows.
‘Not that I’m going to need it, Quinn thought as he held out both of his hands, and started
to create a
dome of shadow over the Boneclaw. The Boneclaw would teleport out of it the same as he
did last time,
but seeing where it was now, Quinn would quickly summon another dome over it again, in
an instant
before it could react.
‘It looks like my guess was correct.’ Although the Boneclaw was able to teleport out of the
shadow
dome, it wasn’t able to attack at the same time and it didn’t seem to know exactly where it
was
teleporting to. It seemed like it would take a few seconds before it repositioned itself and
noticed where
Quinn was.
While in the dome, the Boneclaw was unable to see, so it couldn’t focus where to place its
black
teleporters. The only thing it could do was look in a certain direction in the dome, and cast a
portal to
the other side to escape, and soon, when it was busy coming out of one of the shadows,
Quinn was
appearing directly behind it through his own shadow with a large hammer strike of his own.
However, the Boneclaw was fast, as it managed to create a large portal the same size as
Quinn in front
of him, and sinking through it, Quinn was redirected to another place, causing his hammer
strike to
strike one of the buildings in the inner castle area nearby.
A loud bang was heard as his fist went through a building wall, and a couple of the ones
behind it
crumbled to the floor. Still, Quinn wasn’t worried. Compared to last time, he had more MC
points to play
with. What he didn’t realise was although Shadow Overload allowed him to use the shadow
as much as
he wished, he could still only control only slightly more than his MC points allowed at one
time.
With his MC points above a thousand, Quinn was able to control a larger amount of shadow.
Having
created several domes, he was still able to protect himself using the shadow.
“So you seem to be quite the quick thinker, but I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve!’ Quinn
shouted as he
fired out a blood bullet into one of his shadows in front of him, and it appeared behind the
Boneclaw,
going through its forearm.
This was a skill that was too quick for the Boneclaw to react to, and when it turned around,
it could see
several circle shadows floating in the entire area. Quinn had spread them around, hovering
as if they
were land mines all over the field.
“I think I’ve got the hang of how far you can teleport at once. Try teleporting somewhere,
and you’ll run
into any of these,” Quinn said, as he activated a disk with a razor edge, covered in the
shadow.
‘If I throw it into any of these shadows, I can redirect it to try to follow the Boneclaw, and I
can also
throw blood swipes and even escape through them as well.’
In a way, Quinn was using the shadows as a better version of the teleporting skill that the
Boneclaw
could use. Quinn was able to go through one shadow, and appear out of any of the shadows
hovering
about at any time.
Quinn was ready to throw the Shadow disk into one of the shadow portals, but stopped
himself just
seconds before, as he saw the Boneclaw turning into a black mist, and it was soon heading
towards
Quinn.
“Did I win the fight?” Quinn wondered.
‘I don’t think you won.’ Vincent replied. ‘I just think the Boneclaw has accepted you again,
for now.’
Hearing this, Quinn didn’t like it one bit. Was Vincent saying that he might choose to
challenge him
again in the future? He already had a headache with Arthur and now had to worry about the
Boneclaw
as well. It was also safe to say that Quinn was beyond annoyed. He had used the Shadow
Overload skill,
and now he also had to face the backlash of using it.
He didn’t even get to use it fully or for a long time. It was as if the Boneclaw said, show me
everything
you had, and then decided to just go away when Quinn did.
[Yout total MC points are now ‘1150 points’]
The amount of points lost wasn’t a deal-breaker, but it wasn’t like Quinn could easily obtain
points
through using the skill Shadow Eater either. Technically at the moment each time he would
use this skill
his MC points would lower, so it was best not to use it for now.
The other problem was right after using the soul weapon, all of his MC points would go
down to 0. Even
though he didn’t use much of the shadow in this fight compared to with Cindy. He would
now have to
wait for a period of time for them to restore. If he had used a skill like this against a demon
tier beast
and then ran into Hilston, he would have been a sitting duck not being able to use his
shadow ability.
‘Just a word of advice to you as a past leader.’ Vincent said. ‘Although I wasn’t the best when
it came to
hand to hand combat, and you are currently better than me when I was your age, for a
vampire your
skills are quite poor. You only know the basics, something taught to the regular vampires,
but you are a
leader.
“Since you use gauntlets as your weapons, it would be best for you to try and further develop
your
fighting skills. So far, you have done well, relying on powers such as Qi, and mixing it with
your vampire
powers, and also the shadow, but what if you are unable to use both of those things? Just like
with the
Boneclaw in the future, there may be an opponent that will need these set of skills.”
Honestly, Quinn couldn’t agree more, but it wasn’t like he knew any grand martial artist. Leo
was the
closest person to one, but he was a master swordsman.
‘I wonder if there’s something I can do?’
‘The second point.’ Vincent continued, although we have already discussed this, it’s about
your blood
abilities. It’s all well improving your blood control, but just like with the shadow, you need to
learn more
advanced blood skills. They are currently quite simple.”
‘Couldn’t you teach me, since you used to be a great leader and all.’ Quinn said.
‘I guess I could give it a go, but through words alone, it would be hard. It would be best for
you to see
the skills yourself. Maybe you should get friendly with one of the leaders at some point.’
Vincent half
jokingly said.
Still, Quinn didn’t think Vincent was giving him enough credit. Quinn didn’t show the
Boneclaw
everything he had, and there were even the new shadow skills he had yet to test.
Seeing the Boneclaw disappear like so, Kazz was relieved, but witnessing Quinn use his
special power
again, she truly did feel like she was looking at one of the strongest vampire leaders. Even if
he was
lacking in certain areas, no one could deny how strong he was.
“Well, let’s forget about that little thing, shall we?” Quinn said, looking back at Kazz. “Let’s
get back.”
The incident with Quinn’s familiar wasn’t something that needed to be urgently reported,
since it was
his own familiar and didn’t involve others. No one had even seen the fight, but Kazz still
reported the
matter to Bryce. After all, she was loyal to him as he was her father and even more so her
king.
Although, Bryce didn’t think much of this, and was far more interested in the reports she
had made
earlier.
“You may leave now Kazz, you did a good job. Thank you.” Bryce said, sitting down on the
king’s throne.
When Kazz left the room, out from the side as if he was almost invisible, Tempus stood.
“You heard about the wall, right?” Bryce asked. “Do you think you will be able to restore it to
its former
self?”
“Perhaps, we might not get the whole thing, but we should learn something, but I’m
wondering what
you plan to do with such a wall?” Tempus asked.
“I hate the shadow, but everyone has to admit their power, but the reason why so many
people disliked
the shadow in the past was because it belonged to the Punishers, a force equal to that of the
king. This
is something that should have never happened. It’s time the king had its set of own shadow
users.”
Bryce smiled. “I bet Arthur will be pleasantly surprised to see them when he returns.”
“And how do you expect to get past the doors without informing Muka?” Tempus asked.
“Oh don’t worry about that, I have more power than you think. Actually you might already
know.
Otherwise I doubt you would be standing by my side.”
My Vampire System Chapter 982: The strongest fighters in the world
Upon returning to the Cursed ship and hearing nothing terrible had happened at school
while Quinn was
away, he was in no rush to go back just yet. He had time to think about what Vincent had
talked about.
One of the most critical things Quinn had to worry about was getting stronger for the future
enemies
ahead. One of the easiest ways was to improve something he was severely lacking, and one
of those was
his combat fighting skills.
He never worried about this much before but did try practising a little when he had no
abilities.
‘I remember those days, Quinn started to reminisce. ‘I thought watching a few martial arts
movies and
copying them would make me some skilled master, and then I would just get blasted with a
green
energy blast. Yeah, no karate-chopping skills are going to stop that.’ Quinn thought.
However, things were different now. Quinn had a body that could put fighting skills to good
use, just like
the other leaders did.
Checking his system, Quinn could see the tutorial zone that displayed Vincent’s lessons in
the system.
‘Do you have any more of these?’ Quinn asked.
‘I mean, I don’t, but honestly, I think you’re beyond anything that I could teach you through
a video. At
the moment, you have a body that would be good in any martial art. However, what you
need is
something that would actually be good in fighting against ability users. This I’m not the best
at.’
Hearing these words while on the Cursed ship, Quinn went looking for Leo. Although he
was a
swordsman, he did know the martial art taught by the military quite well, and perhaps there
was
someone he could recommend.
While searching high and low around the ship, Quinn couldn’t find him anywhere and
eventually ran
into Sam, walking through one of the hallways.
“Quinn, you still haven’t returned. You know the students will miss you?” Sam said.
“It’s fine. They have a good teacher. I was actually looking for Leo. Have you seen him
anywhere?”
Quinn asked.
“Actually, Leo wanted to catch up with you about something, but it looks like one of the
planets that
Pure has members on is close by, so they have decided to go there. Don’t worry, they took
Nate along as
well, just in case there is any trouble.”
There was no time frame for when Quinn needed to get things done, so there wasn’t an
urgency in him,
but at the same time, there was the constant worry that the Dalki, a vampire force or even
Pure, could
attack them at any point.
Although Quinn was happy they had taken a shadow user along like he asked, he felt a bit
unlucky that
they had taken Nate. If he couldn’t get an answer from Leo, he would have asked Nate, a
great martial
artist, what to do next.
‘I guess I could just teleport there and then travel back, but they might be in the middle of
something.’
“Go on. I can see you have something on your mind. What do you want?” Sam asked.
Quinn explained what he wished to do. How he wanted to improve his martial arts skills.
Thinking about
it for a while, Sam eventually gave an answer.
“Do you remember how the two of you first met through the Power fighters game? Well,
there was a
reason why Nate would constantly play it. Even for him, there were plenty of strong people
there.
“You have to remember not everyone likes the limelight. Some people have strong abilities
or are just
strong that they choose to hide their powers when they join a faction. Before the civil war,
although it
was normal for others to fight and such, strong people didn’t often fight each other due to
fear of how
much destruction and death it would cause.
“Do you think the Graylash family ever fought against the Bree family, or the Sun Shields
without people
getting hurt?”
Hearing this, Quinn thought it would be quite interesting. He hadn’t played the game in a
while. When
he first started out, he used the game often to test out his blood abilities that could be used
with no
restrictions inside the game.
‘I suppose if I play again, I can just not use my blood abilities. Before, I was obsessed with
the exp, not
that it would do anything for me now. But now I can just fight against ability users, just
using my fists. If I
lose, it won’t really be a problem.’
Quinn thought it was a great suggestion and thanked Sam before leaving off to play the
game. There
were quite a lot of pods on board the Cursed faction, as the game had always been popular
with people,
including the Cursed faction.
However, there was one person he thought he should meet before playing the game, asking
if he could
work out some personal request for Quinn, and that was none other than Logan.
He was inside his usual research room, a room that was given just to Logan dedicated to him
to work on
whatever he needed. It didn’t take long for Logan to turn it into his own personal room, as it
was filled
with what Quinn could only describe as useful junk all around the room.
He was careful to use the word ‘Useful’ because often, things that looked strange and that he
didn’t
understand would be quite helpful. A lot of the stuff in the room was brought over from the
many
locations the Green family owned, the projects his family were working on before they had
passed.
“Quinn, that’s you right? No one else has as light footsteps as you do. Also, I heard from Sam
that you
have just returned from the vampire world. Did he tell you about my request?” Logan said,
as he was
wearing some strange goggles and using his robotic arm, but soon the googles started to
deform into
the tiny spiders and created some shoulder pads instead.
“Request, I didn’t know you had one? I was actually coming to you to ask about something.
What did
you want to ask?” Quinn wondered.
Logan looked at Quinn for a few seconds and didn’t say anything.
“Logan, please, you already helped me a lot. Remember, even with the current situation,
anything you
need that I can help with, I will do it.” Quinn said.
Then, as if Logan was waiting for Quinn to say these words, he gave a reply.
“Great, then I wish to go to the vampire world and go to the lab out in the mountains. I will
take my
leave tomorrow and make sure to take one of the shadow users with me. I will also take
Borden along
for protection, so you can’t complain. A leader wouldn’t go back on their word, right?”
For some reason, Quinn felt like he had just been tricked.
‘This is what happens when you have people smarter than you helping you out.’ Quinn
thought.
“What do you want to do there anyway?” Quinn asked.
“I plan to visit the lab so I can clone myself a new arm. The lab had the ability to create a
clone of
Vorden, that’s how I accidentally made Borden, so I should be able to create a hand for
myself if I study
the equipment myself.” Logan replied as if it was no big deal.
“Wait! What happens if you make another, like a Logan Dalki? I know Borden turned out to
be okay, but
we can’t guarantee that another one will be, can we?” Quinn said worryingly.
“Don’t worry about that. There isn’t enough energy to create another Dalki. That was the
problem in the
first place and part of the reason why Borden is so unstable. Leave the thinking to me. If I
tried to
explain anything to you, then it would just be pointless. Fighting is your strong point. This is
mine so
leave that to me.”
Although Quin didn’t like it, visiting the vampire world last time, it seemed like everything
had calmed
down quite a bit, and as long as someone like Linda who knew the shadow went along with
them, then
Quinn could be there if there was any trouble, as for Borden. He was as strong as a leader, so
no one
would mess with him.
“Talking about fighting, there were a few things I wanted to ask you about…” Quinn
discussed his plan
and how he would like to join power fighters one more time, but he had some special
requests.
“Sure, I can do that for you. As you know, the game ranks you based on your Traveller Rank.
So you want
me to put you as an A rank traveller, correct? That shouldn’t be a problem. As long as you
keep winning
fights, the system will naturally put you against the higher Travellers and then you will enter
the ranking
system.”
“Ranking System?”
“Each time you win, you get Elo points, which will rank you up and down, putting you in the
top hundred
of the power fighters game. This is only available to Travellers Rank B and upwards. Win
enough times in
a row, and you will eventually get put in the top hundred.”
It sounded like Sam’s suggestion was turning into a good idea, and there was even a goal to
aim towards
now.
“Wow, an online ranking, who’s at the top, is it someone I know?” Quinn wondered. Being in
the
position he was in now, surely the top would be filled with people he had seen or at least
heard off.
“Not really, at least I don’t know who they are,” Logan replied. “You have to remember a few
things.
Fighting in the game, although meant to simulate real combat, isn’t the same. There are
differences.
Also, one can not use their soul weapon in the game either. And sometimes soul weapons
are a big
differentiator when one is fighting in the real world.” Logan explained.
It made sense, and now for some reason, Quinn was itching to go into the power fighters
game.
However, there were a couple more requests Quinn had made.
“And about my other request?” Quinn asked.
“That’s fine,” Logan said. “I can put in a limiter just for you, so you will be limited to fifty
percent of your
body’s strength. You can increase this in the game as you wish. As for your other request,
usually, only
one person can be linked with one I.D., but It’s me after all, so I can do what I like. We will
create a new
I.D. for you.”
The name Bloodevolver was too famous, and Quinn wasn’t going to be using the blood skills
this time
around. He was going to be testing his fighting skills, so he wanted a new I.D.
“Do you want me to come up with the name for you?” Logan asked.
“No, no, please!” Quinn quickly said. “It’s okay. I can pick my own.” Quinn said, fearing he
would be
known as Buinn.
My Vampire System Chapter 983: Noob fighter
The VR game Powerfighters also could copy one’s beast armour and weapon. Even though it
was
capable of doing that, Quinn really didn’t want any advantages when fighting. He thought
the quickest
way to improve was through failure and learning through one’s mistakes.
Luckily, there were no consequences for making mistakes in the VR game since it was just a
game.
However, even if he wanted to use his beast weapon, he really couldn’t. Taking his gauntlets
out of his
shadow equip, Quinn looked at his gauntlets, and they were in a sorry state.
Several dents in places, gashes of torn metal. Quinn imagined that if he didn’t have the
shadow equip
skill and he had to force the gauntlets on his arms, they would become a bloody mess from
all the
broken pieces hanging on it.
The durability was around that of ten percent, and all the boosted stats were ineffective.
‘The Boneclaw’s attacks were really strong, stronger than any beast I’ve faced. I wonder if he
would be
considered a demon tier beast or something similar if he was one?’ Quinn started to think.
There was a feeling that the Boneclaw didn’t really show everything it had either during the
fight.
Because of this, before entering the game, Quinn decided to go with Alex for a visit.
———
“Nooo!” Alex screamed with the gauntlets laid out on the table. “What did you do? Did you
chuck these
things into a blender! Do you know how long it took to make these for you!”
Whenever Alex would work on a piece of equipment, he worked extra hard personally on
Quinn’s. It
wasn’t that he didn’t equally put effort into everything he did make for the Cursed faction. It
was just
that Quinn would always be the first of its kind when making things, so it would take more
time.
It was the first time he had to use fairy blood and the first time he had used king tier crystals
with the
gauntlets. He was already devastated when he had heard that his Emperor tier armour set
was
destroyed. Still, at least that had gone to good use, protecting Quinn’s life from the Demon
tier crab.
“I told you, it was unexpected. You know me, I wouldn’t have let them get hurt on purpose.”
Quinn said.
“Anyway, can you fix them?”
“Fix them,” Alex said, slapping his head and still looking at the gauntlets on the table. “First,
your
gauntlets were made with specific beast crystals to give it the best active skill I could get. It
would be
quite hard to find those again, and honestly, creating a new pair would be easier than
repairing the old
ones.”
Quinn thought about it for a while. It was time for him to have an upgrade in the first place.
“Do we have crystals to make a new weapon?” Quinn asked.
“Oh, I thought you said you talked to Logan before, didn’t he tell you?” Alex replied. “It turns
out that
the original planet that the Crows occupied is filled with strong beasts in the new land. So
strong that
Logan was unable to place his device to check out if there were demon tier beasts in the
area.
“I know what you’re thinking. If you want a new weapon, then you at least want it to be at
the legendary
tier this time. Well, if you’re looking for plenty of high-level beasts with certain attributes,
then that’s
going to be your best bet.”
Thinking about it, Quinn wanted another active elemental skill. The first advanced tier
crystal gifted by
Leo had the lightning elemental power, which gave him a great active skill, and the fire
crystals after. It
seemed like the elemental crystals gave him the best option in the end.
“I’ll think about what to get. I’ll ask Sam to send a team to the Crow’s planet, and when they
find
something, they can contact me.” Quinn replied.
This way, he could be optimal with his time. Quinn wanted to fight the beasts himself. For
one,
legendary beasts were quite up the tier ladder, and there weren’t many in the Cursed faction
that could
deal with them. The other reason was Quinn wanted to see what skills the beast had, to see
if it was
suitable for making his weapon.
With his shadow skill, they just needed a shadow user.
‘Maybe Wevil would be good to search the area.’ Quinn thought.
With the request sent off to Sam, it was finally time for Quinn to play the game. Entering his
personal
training room, he could see a pod there waiting for him. He had made this request so the
others
onboard also wouldn’t know what Quinn was doing.
Besides, his fame in the Cursed faction itself was growing and just walking around, he would
get stopped
several times, and his journey would be twice as long. Quinn didn’t want to be one of those
people that
didn’t reply back, and it was nice to get to know the people in the faction.
Although this Pod looked like any other VR pod, Quinn knew there was a difference. This
one had been
modded, added with the features that Quinn had requested from Logan.
‘I remember entering the shop with Vorden and looking at the price tag of one of these
things. I never
thought I would own my own one. Now, there are several on the ships, and I even have a
personal one
made for me by the game’s creator. When I think about it, there have been some amazing
things in my
life.’ Quinn thought as he started to climb into the VR pod.
Just like when he had entered the other VR pods, the welcome screen appeared in front of
him. Before
though, after figuring out who the person was, the system would then log in Quinn to his
user ID
automatically and also use his traveller information, but not this time.
[Please enter your User ID]
‘Ah, I really don’t care about it this time too much. Last time I tried to write something cool,
and that’s
never got me far,’ Quinn thought as he just typed in some words that he didn’t really give
much thought
to.
[User ID has been created]
[Welcome Noob Fighter]
It had been a while, but after selecting his name, his body was chucked into the white space.
‘I guess I can’t use the Bloodevolver appearance, can I?’ Quinn thought and started
decorating and
altering his avatar. Giving himself spiky green hair, and a plain gold and back tracksuit.
He looked like he was dressed as someone a 1000 years past his time, but he thought it
suited him. In a
world of no abilities, back in the past when people his age would have fought with their fists.
Checking out the game system, he could see that now there was also a limiter that had been
set to fifty.,
Quinn could even lower this, so he could use more of his strength or increase it.
Before going into a match, he tested out the limiter for a while, practising what martial arts
moves he
knew, and it looked like it worked.
‘You never fail to impress me, Logan.’
Finally, he was ready to start his first matchmaking session. As an A rank Traveller, Quinn
would get
matched up with those at a similar level to him, but for now, he would be put against some
Rank B’s
while the system was working out his correct ranking level, so the matchmaking would be
fairer.
When Quinn’s body appeared, he could see himself standing opposite a man who was
dressed entirely
in black armour from head to toe and had a pair of small axes on his back.
“Noob fighter?” Chan read. “Is this my lucky day? I was on a losing streak.”
Checking his opponent’s stats, he could see that Noob fighter hadn’t been in any fights, so
he wasn’t
quite sure if he was lucky or not.
‘I guess it’s his first time playing, and I can take advantage of that.’
The match had begun, and Chan immediately threw out the small axe on his back towards
Quinn.
Seeing it, Quinn decided to dodge the first axe as he was still trying to figure out what ability
the person
in front of him had. The next second another axe came towards him, and then several more
were flying
towards Quinn.
‘Crap!’ Quinn thought as he started to run around the place and head towards his opponent.
“Hey, this noob is quite fast,” Chan said, continuing to throw multiple axes from his back.
Although he
only had two on him, his ability allowed him to copy and produce the same beast weapon he
last
touched.
He continued to throw them towards his opponents, dn when the two got close, Quinn
managed to
duck a wild swing from Chun and hit him in the stomach.
The blow had done damage, but while falling, Chun picked up one of the axes that were
stuck to the
ground and dug it into Quinn’s foot. If he wanted to get out of this, he would have to
forcefully rip his
foot from the axe.
Picking up another Axe, Chun went to swing it towards his ribs again, but an elbow hit the
side of the
axe with such force, making it fall to the ground. While Chun was slightly stunned, Quinn
went to punch
him in the head again, but Chun quickly rolled, avoiding the hit and threw out an axe
hitting Quinn’s
other leg.
“I’m a rank B Traveller for a reason, don’t underestimate me!” Chun shouted. After a minute
of intense
fighting back and forth, a winner was eventually announced.
“Phew, that guy was tough for a noob. I’m surprised I won, his blows were so strong, and he
was fast. I
guess it had something to do with his ability? Wait, did he even use an ability?” Chun said,
thinking
about the fight.
Meanwhile, Quinn was back in the lobby and looking at his game screen.
“So my first fight was a loss, huh? Well, I guess setting it to thirty percent was too much to
start with.”
Quinn said.
My Vampire System Chapter 984: The Dalki growth
After getting the go ahead from Quinn that he was now allowed to travel to the vampire
world, Logan
wasted no time making preparations. In fact, he actually already had everything he needed
with him
packed away in a special robotic backpack. He would ‘Carry’ this on his back with the
support of his little
spiders, making it pretty much weightless.
It was as if he always knew Quinn would say yes, but he was not to go on his travels alone. In
a room
placed away from the others, which needed a special pin to enter, was the new type of
teleporter that
would take one to the vampire world.
If someone was to stumble and open it, it would be quite troublesome for them, finding
themselves in a
strange place. Not that they could go through the teleporter anyway. This new teleporter was
based on
the vampire’s teleporters. On Logan’s side, a code needed to be input that would then
activate the
teleporter, and it was the same on Paul’s side.
Communication needed to be made before Logan could come across. However, this time,
unlike when
Quinn had gone, they did not inform the king or ask for persimmon. Quinn felt like he
needed to last
time due to entering the fourteenth castle, which was a big deal.
However, Logan was going to a place that he wasn’t even sure they were aware of or cared
about. It also
wasn’t like what he was planning to do, had anything to do with them in the first place.
Standing by his side were the two that would be coming with him for this short journey,
“Hopefully, you can make some more of that green serum for me,” Borden said as he hopped
onto the
right side of Logan’s shoulder.
“I can try, but I wouldn’t count on it,” Logan replied. Knowing that there was hardly any
energy left in
the large tubes.
As for the other one, she seemed a bit nervous to be coming along.
“I kind of understand why you brought Borden along with you, but why did you choose me
and not one
of the others?” Linda asked.
Logan looked Linda up and down as if it was a pain to explain to her, but letting out a sigh,
he did so
anyway.
“Have you and I ever talked before?” Logan asked.
“A few times on occasion, but I don’t; think we have ever had a full conversation,” Linda
replied, trying
to figure out what his point was.
“And that is exactly the reason why I have brought you. Me and you haven’t talked before, so
we have
nothing to talk about. Which means I can get on my task with peace.” Said Logan.
Linda didn’t know why, but she felt a little hurt by that comment, but Logan was just upfront
and honest
from what she had heard from the others. Speaking what he thought, sometimes it was
better to have a
person like this, rather than someone you didn’t know what they were thinking, like Kazz.
Thinking of the vampire world made Linda think of her. She still held a grudge against her
for what she
had done.
With the preparations done and the very small chitchat made, all three of them went
through the
teleporter, finding themselves at the tenth castle. Unlike last time, Paul wasn’t there to greet
them, but
Ashley stood in the throne room instead.
He was only there to make sure they had arrived safely and also to turn off the teleporter so
it wouldn’t
be linked to the Cursed ship while they were away.
There were no words spoken, and Logan just continued to walk past Ashley as if it was
something he did
every single day.
‘Well, I can’t say the boy isn’t efficient.’ Linda thought as she was quite enjoying his style.
A few sprays of the special scent were placed onto Borden and Logan. Now they had no
worry as they
walked through the vampire settlement. Compared to before, the dark streets were full of
market stalls,
vampires talking and eating irregular meals at their restaurants.
It seemed like an old city in the human world, and Linda found it relatively peaceful.
“If we had seen this and experienced this when we first came, then maybe our opinion
would have been
a little different.” She said.
What was most impressive was how quick they were able to recover as well. Soon though,
leaving the
settlement, they would walk through the forest, and from there, it was time to head to the
mountain
where the lab was found.
While walking through the forest, there was a single incident that occurred. It was when a
snake-like
beast came dangling from one of the trees. It swooped down on them.
Linda was ready to get in the way, but when the snake reached a certain distance. A claw-like
machine
came out from the top of Logan’s back and held it in place, then a blaster formed around
Logan’s arm,
and he fired it a few times, eventually killing the snake on the spot.
‘Even though the kid isn’t like us, he seems to be quite powerful with all his little gadgets. I
guess he isn’t
just the inventor of the ship.’ Linda thought.
Although the two of them didn’t talk much, in fact, not at all during the walk, even Borden
was just
sleeping on top of Logan’s shoulder. She quite enjoyed learning more and more about
Logan.
Finally, after entering a series of caves, they had reached the lab that Logan was looking for.
He had
been here a few times, and every time he visited it, it felt less foreign to him. Maybe it was
because of
the lab’s layout, where certain machinery was placed. All of it was suited to his liking.
‘It looks like I have a similar taste to my parents.’ Logan thought and soon got to work.
Linda and Borden were placed in the central room. They waited there patiently. They
explored the place
at first together, apart from one room that Logan told them not to enter, but soon found
that not
knowing what anything was, it was quite boring after a while.
So they remained in the main terminal room while watching Logan get to work. The
backpack that he
had on him turned itself into a workbench. The technical robotic arms that had stopped the
beast from
earlier, four of them were being used as legs popping it up like a table. Then the bag opened
itself up
and was able to supply Logan with every single tool that he needed.
After seeing him going back and forth in and out of rooms, Logan eventually asked Borden
for a favour.
Using a small syringe, he had taken some of Borden’s blood.
“Do you need that again for me?” Borden asked.
On the table was a flask and a syringe red in colour, then using the small amount of blood
he had gotten
from Borden, he slowly dropped it into the red liquid. Soon, the green liquid started to take
over, and
made a dark green colour as they both mixed together.
Another larger normal-sized syringe was on the side, and Logan used that to bring up some
of the liquid
from the flask.
“No, this is for me,” Logan replied. His right robotic arm disconnected and fell to the floor.
He injected
the syringe directly into where the stump of his arm was.
“Logan what are you doing!” Borden said, worried, now realising what he might have been
doing all
along.
Logan fell to the floor as if he was in pain. The plan was to create. Clone of his arm, like they
did so with
Vorden and Borden, but why didn’t Borden realise it sooner.
The clone that was made was a Dalki, not another human, which meant that Logan couldn’t
make
human parts with the things inside the room.
The pain counted, and sweat was running down Logan’s face, but soon the pain would end,
and when
he stood up, he could feel something heavy where his right side was.
“I won’t be useless anymore,” Logan said.
Standing there, Logan’s arm had fully regrown, but it wasn’t what it once was. Hard scales
ran all the
way up it, and the fingertips were shaped like a claw. Logan had successfully created himself
a Dalki arm.
My Vampire System Chapter 985: The martial art god
[‘Noob fighter’ losses]
How many times had Quinn seen this screen now? He had lost count. Due to him being a
vampire, there
wasn’t much sleep needed on his end, and the matches were ending relatively fast as well.
However, using no abilities, including that of the shadow and blood, limiting his physical
abilities and
having no beast gear proved to be a little too much of a disadvantage for Quinn.
However, it was safe to say it was working. Due to him not being able to rely on these things,
he had to
improve on the spot if he wanted to win. The only thing was. It was happening at a far slower
pace than
he had initially planned.
Quinn was losing matches using 30 percent of his strength. He thought the first few
matches, his
opponent might have been just strong, and eventually, he would find a way to beat them,
but he never
did and was getting tired of it.
In the next few games, Quinn decided that he would increase the limit by five percent each
time until he
eventually would win. At 35 percent his first match had hardly lasted longer than the others.
He had,
unfortunately, run into a speed user who was faster than him.
With Quinn’s current set of fighting skills, Quinn felt useless and was just frustrated. Soon
after, he
raised his stats to 40 percent. In his first match at this stage, he had lasted longer. His
opponent had a
growth ability, allowing them to grow the size of any part of their body and what they were
touching at
any point and time.
At this stage, Quinn was able to time his Flash Step perfectly to avoid the more vital attacks
and had hit
his opponents with well times hammer strikes and kicks, damaging the body well and
eventually got a
win.
It seemed at 40 percent the increase in strength had significantly helped, but this wasn’t
what Quinn
was hoping for. He stayed at the forty percent range, and eventually won a few fights, but
after winning
a few fights in a row, the matching system had put him against some tougher opponents,
and Quinn
ended up losing again.
When he had reached a stalemate, Quinn raised his stats once more to forty-five percent,
thinking
maybe it would change the outcome. Which it did, but not for the right reasons, going back
to his old
ways of relaying on speed and strength.
It seemed like the same pattern was occurring. Whenever Quinn would get stuck, he would
just raise his
limiter to beat his opponents and eventually, he had raised it to fifty percent. Winning nine
fights in a
row.
“No, this isn’t what I wanted,” Quinn said while waiting in the white room, pausing, trying to
reflect back
on the fight that had just happened. “I haven’t really learnt any new fighting techniques,
have I?”
“I would say so, but at the same time, I can’t blame you for raising your stats,” Vincent
replied. “It hasn’t
been all for a lost cause. While forcing yourself to just use your body at that level, you used
whatever
you had to the max. I have never seen you have a better sense of timing, of when to attack
and when to
defend against your opponents.
“Which was why, whenever you raised your stats and went onto more difficult opponents,
your fights
seemed to be a lot easier. You are definitely improving, Quinn, but I would suggest you stop
at fifty.
From what I have gathered so far, at this point and stage, you should be able to defeat your
opponents
with this level of strength and speed.”
Quinn agreed with Vincent, but it didn’t mean he was any less frustrated. Losing all the time
wasn’t fun.
He had a total of 32 wins while above three hundred losses on his record. As he got higher in
the ranks,
he was hoping that there would be those that fought better.
Instead, it was just those that were stronger with their abilities. There wasn’t much he could
learn from
them, other than timing and when to attack. He learned how to analyse patterns better and
read certain
movements, but there was only so much he could do.
Quinn wanted to improve his own combat skills but had no knowledge or anyone to teach
him.
Most of Quinn’s current wins had happened while using fifty percent of his strength.
Wanting to see
how much he improved, Quinn decided that for the next fight, he would use no limiter at all.
Even if he
didn’t learn anything, he just wanted a break from the neck and neck fights.
At that moment, his opponent appeared in front of him. It was Chun once again, with the
black armour
and Dual axes.
‘Hey, wait, it’s this guy again? Why am I fighting him?’ Chun thought.
After beating the Noob fighter last time, Chun had been on a winning streak. He had been
doing so well,
he even thought that he might make it into the top 100 anytime soon. Once again, Chun
decided to have
a look at Quinn’s stats.
‘How many matches did this guy have after me, and look at how many losses he had. How
bad is he?’
Chun thought. Still, having between him once, he felt he could do so again, and it would
just be a free
win for himself. If Quinn was facing him now, it also meant his opponent must have gotten
several wins
in a row as well.
When this happened, the system would deem the player too strong for the opponents it was
matching
them up against, and Quinn had won nine fights in a row at his current level.
On Quinn’s end, however, Quinn didn’t recognise the person. After all, he had fought so
many people in
a row and was hardly paying attention to what his opponent looked like. In the game, many
people had
similar avatars.
When the match started, Chun went to grab his axe, but looking up, he couldn’t see the
person in front
of him, and the next second he felt a punch hitting him right in the side of his face.
[Congratulations’ Noob Fighter’ is the winner]
“It looks like hundred percent of my strength is way too much, and I’m surprised the system
was able to
replicate my power. Still, it felt good to do that just once. I was starting to feel a little weak.”
Quinn said
with an almost devilish smile on his face.
‘What just happened?’ Chun thought. ‘Did the game bug out.’
Instantly, Chun decided to rewatch the gameplay repeatedly, and he could see from the
footage that his
opponent had moved so fast and had hit him before he could do anything.
‘That guy! I knew he was hiding an ability!’
[You have now entered the rankings]
[You have now taken the 100th spot]
This was indeed quite surprising to Quinn, that using fifty percent of his strength with no
abilities, he
could take one of the top hundred spots. Although he was a bad fighter, he had enough
skills to beat
most strong opponents through what he knew.
‘But still, I’m going to be fighting the strongest of the strongest, there properly even stronger
than any
rank 1 on this game. I should at least be able to get this far.’ Quinn thought.
After reaching rank 100, Quinn was planning to take a small break, but then, there were
quite a few
requests for fights that had been sent his way.
‘What is all this?’ Quinn thought as he was reading all the messages coming towards him.
Soon he
realised it was due to the public leaderboards. Now that Quinn was ranked a 100, anyone
could see his
name, select him and send him an invite.
‘I guess one more fight won’t hurt.’ Quinn thought.
Looking through the messages, Quinn noticed that some of them had their rankings in
brackets next to
their name. The numbers close to him had asked for a match, but Quinn went through and
looked for
the highest number that had requested him to fight as he could and could see one of them
stand out
above the rest.
A person who was ranked fifty, and also had the name Martial Art God.
‘Now, someone with a User ID has to be good at fighting, right? Why don’t we have a little
go.’
Quinn thought as he sent his request out.
Due to Chun, having just lost his fight seconds ago, he was frustrated and had looked up to
the Noob
fighter he had lost to. Then when he saw the hundred ranking by his name, he felt like he
could feel
blood pouring from his ears.
‘Wait, what! why is the martial art’s god, and this guy fighting against each other? Who
accepts a match
from someone fifty ranks above you!’
My Vampire System Chapter 986: Noob fighter vs God fighter
After accepting the request, Quinn was transported to the area where the two of them would
be
fighting. Stood opposite him was a man who had no top on, having his full chiselled
six-pack out on
display.
The man had what looked like a piece of red string around his arm and wore nothing but a
pair of green
shorts. The man wasn’t even wearing any shoes and walked barefoot.
‘I know this isn’t the real world, but we still have a sense of feeling here.’ Quinn thought.
It was true that the VR made one feel as if they were really there and they even felt slight
pain. Although
the pain sensor was set at an extremely low value and the pain felt was nothing like one
would
experience in real life. Instead, the computer would sometimes have to just guess how one’s
body
would react when taking a hit.
Quinn also noticed that the stages for spectating that would often be empty were now full of
spectators,
something that hadn’t happened until this fight.
‘I haven’t seen this many people since I was the Bloodevolver.’ Quinn thought, looking
around.
There were many people who would often watch those that were top-ranked. People liked
watching
battles between two strong opponents, that’s just how it was, but in particular, more people
seemed
interested than usual.
The Martial art god gave a wave to the crowd of people. They all cheered in response as if it
was
something that he had done a thousand times. It was routine for him.
‘Even if that Noob fighter was able to surprise me and got the upper hand, he won’t be able
to deal with
the Gatekeeper.’ Chun said as he watched from the sidelines.
This was another name that was given to the martial art god. The reason why he was called
the
Gatekeeper was due to his rank, being placed at fifty. All those above the rank of fifty
constantly faced
each other and the ranking remained unchanged for a long time.
Where as many would fall when meeting with the Gatekeeper, staying above rank fifty.
“It’s been a while since I have seen a new person enter the hundred rankings, so I thought it
was best to
introduce myself to you first. See if you are worthy.” The martial art god said.
‘Is this guy role playing? I mean, I can’t really make fun of him. I used to do the same thing
when I was
younger, except I had no friends to Roleplay with.’ Quinn thought.
‘And that is why the internet is a great thing, bringing all these strangers together who have
similar
interests. There is no need for others to judge you.’ Vincent replied.
Towards the upper top ranks, closer to a hundred, they would change quite often with
people coming in
and out, but the martial art god had already faced them all, which was why when he saw
someone new,
he was quite interested in this said person.
Before the fight began, Quinn checked two things, that his limiter was now set at fifty again,
which was
all good, and as for the second thing. He bowed down, out of respect.
“If you are truly a martial art god like your name suggests, then it will be an honour to learn
from you.”
Quinn replied, getting a little bit into the role-playing himself.
“It looks like at least this one knows how to show respect.” The martial art god said, as he
raised one of
his knees and then slammed his foot on the ground.
He had simply gotten in a fighting stance, but even Quinn could tell something was
different. For his last
fight, he thought he might be able to take it easy, but it didn’t look like he could do that at
all.
The fight had begun, but the martial art god stayed in the same position, with his left leg
slightly in front
and both arms raised by his face.
‘Is this Muay Thai?’ Vincent said. Although Vincent wasn’t much of a fighter, he did know a
few things
about fighting. During his greater years when he was younger, this fighting style was quite
popular
among young ones.
Since it didn’t look like the martial art god was going to attack first, Quinn was going to be
the one to
instigate the fight.
‘I’ll figure out what his ability is first, and then flash step out of the way and reposition
myself when I get
the chance.’ Quinn thought.
When Quinn was finally in range of the martial arts god, everyone thought the fight would
be over in
that second, just like all the others.
Suddenly, Quinn felt a throbbing pain in his thigh, making him stop in his tracks and soon,
he fell to his
knees.
‘What happened, my leg? I didn’t see him.’ But Quinn saw the next one coming towards him.
A
lightning-fast kick that had hit his thigh was now coming at his head. Seeing how the kick
had affected
his thigh like so, he thought lifting his arm to block the attack would do nothing.
He would still lose the fight, and even if his body was great at recovering, his legs weren’t
good enough
yet to use the flash step, so he did the only thing he could.
Twisting his body, swinging out his arm, he attempted to punch the leg coming towards
him.
“A mistake, my legs have been conditioned to take out tree trunks, and you think your fist is
going to
stop my legs!” Martial arts god shouted.
However, Quinn’s fist was no ordinary fist. How many times had he punched until his fist
broke, how
many times had he broken his arms from fighting to the death? His body wasn’t human, and
his bones
had significantly strengthened.
When the two collided, surprisingly to him and the others, the martial art god’s thigh kick
had been
stopped. By now, Quinn had recovered and used his flash step to get behind his opponent
and was
ready. Learning his lesson from last time, Quinn attempted a kick instead of a punch, not
wanting to get
too close. Still, suddenly, a pivot from the martial arts god, and he was facing him once
again.
He had ducked under Quinn’s fast moving leg and then grabbed the back of his neck with
both of his
arms locking him in. Pulling his head down, Quinn’s face was met with a knee, but it didn’t
stop there.
The knees continued one after another.
Quinn tried his best to pull away, but the man had him locked in, and when he finally let go,
Quinn’s
force of pulling away swung his head back and caused him to stumble, while the martial arts
god spun
around and hit the side of his head with an elbow.
[Winner ‘Martial arts god.’]
[You are no longer ranked]
As quick as Quinn had entered the rankings, he had left them too. Although Quinn wasn’t
helpless, the
fight was clearly one sided.
The people who had watched the match were a little disappointed. Those that failed to reach
the
rankings, and even those that had wished to see someone for the first time, surpass and
went through
to the upper ranks, but it looked like this person would not be the one.
‘What did you guys expect?’ Chun thought. ‘One was called Noob fighter, and the other
martial arts god.
I’m just glad that the guy that beat me got beat, and Martial art’s god didn’t even move from
his
position.’
After the fight, Quinn was back in the white room. Rather than upset by his loss, instead, he
was
pleased. Finally, he had found what he was looking for. A person who excelled at fighting
that could
teach him.
‘Now, how do I convince him to teach me?’ Quinn thought.
Just then, he had received a party invite. This was where people could enter the same white
room
together and use it as a training room, or one could search matches while others watched.
However, the invite was from the martial god himself.
‘Looks like I might not have to contact him first after all.’
Accepting the invite, the man in the green shorts appeared in front of him and turned to
look at Quinn.
“I wanted to ask you a question, during our fight, why didn’t you use your ability against me?
Did you
think you could win without it?”
“That’s how I fight, is there a problem? I don’t believe you used an ability either?” Quinn
asked.
“Yes, there is a problem. Fight me again, and use everything you have this time.” The man
said.
“Wai-“
“Fight me!”
“Just istn-“
“Fight me!”
Quinn was a little frustrated with how this man was acting. He wouldn’t let him get a word
in.
‘Should I just beat him and then ask him to teach me? Maybe he will respect me this way?’
Quinn
thought as he was getting ready to turn the limiter off.
‘No, I have a better idea.’
[The Noob fighter is now offline.]
My Vampire System Chapter 987: Deadly kick
There was a difference in the VR game compared to the real world. When Quinn just didn’t
want to deal
with people, he could simply just log off. In the first place, Quinn had been playing the
game non-stop
for a while now. Although he was the type of person who could repeat the same task over
and over
again and not get sick of it, this session had gone on for a bit too long.
‘Quinn, I’m a little confused. Why did you suddenly log off like that?’ Vincent asked as
Quinn was getting
out of the pod and giving his body a few stretches here and there. ‘Wasn’t your whole goal to
find
someone good at martial arts to teach you. He was right there?’
‘Don’t worry.’ Quinn replied as he exited the room and decided to head off to his own living
quarters.
‘I’ve already figured out what type of person the martial arts god is. That person won’t stop
chasing me
now until he gets what he wants. Even more so after what I just did, and I have an idea that
just might
rile him up even more.’
Once Quinn had entered his own room, he went to the desk that was placed in the corner. It
looked
plain as if there was nothing on it, but once he sat down, a holographic keyboard lit up in
front of him,
and a widescreen appeared in front of his eyes.
The first thing he did was search up videos about Muay Thai fighters. Quinn started to
watch video after
video on the subject. There were plenty of tutorials online, but it was safe to say that the
martial arts
god was leaps and bounds ahead of all of them.
It was a shame, but old traditional martial arts skills had diminished, especially since the
introduction of
abilities. Still, it had a bit of a resurgence based on other abilities, but new forms of martial
arts were
created to suit the beast weapons and take advantage of that power.
Very few people used their fists to fight. After watching some videos for some time, Quinn
took what he
wanted from them. Downloading them onto his little wristwatch, heading off to his own
personal
training room.
The videos that he had saved he played a few times while in the training room and slowly
started to
copy the moves bit by bit.
‘Maybe there’s a method to his madness.’ Vincent thought as he watched him.
The fighting style was undoubtedly different from what Quinn was used to, and there were
many points.
The striking part wasn’t so hard. Throwing out punches, he did this enough, and he was also
quite good
with his kicks due to the military-style of fighting.
However, there was something different about the kicks in the video. The amount of weight
and power
was like that of a gigantic whip. The main movement he decided to focus on was the thigh
kick. Having
experienced it himself, he knew how effective it was.
The other points of fighting style, such as using the elbows, knees and grappling, were a
little harder for
him to grasp, without a fighting power, and just through a video, he couldn’t get the right
feeling, as Fex
would say.
Quinn went through each of the movements of the thigh kick slowly and made sure he was
standing in
the same stance as the person before him. He also remembered well the viewpoint of the
martial arts
god.
‘Alright, let’s do this!’ Quinn said as he practised the kick over and over again.
——
While Sam was busy with his daily duties, he had heard about a complaint while being on
board the
ship. That there was a loud continuous bang. Worried that there might be some damage or
something
wrong with the ship, Sam had decided to go check out where the noise was coming from.
“Is there a reason you have brought me along?” Dennis asked as they walked towards the
loud banging
sound, which was getting louder, and had a standard beat to it.
“Haven’t you seen those alien movies?” Sam chuckled nervously. “Maybe a beast snuck on
board the
ship and slowly is starting to turn everyone or is running through the vents.”
Although Dennis would have liked to poke fun at this, it seemed like Sam was genuinely
scared, and
everyone had their fears. Finally, they had located the noise of the bang, which had led them
to outside
a locked door.
“Isn’t this?” When opening up the door, another loud bang was heard, and a breeze was felt
on both
Sam’s and Dennis’ faces pulling their hair back a bit.
What they could see was Quinn drenched in sweat, so much so that there was a pool of
water behind
him, but he seemed incredibly focused, and his back right leg was all tensed up, that the
veins were
showing running up his calf like a root of a plant.
His leg was a foreign part of his body. Lifting it up, Quinn threw his leg and twisted his hips
as hard as he
could and once again, the loud bang was heard.
Quinn was throwing out his leg so fast, with such force it sounded like when one would
swing a real
whip. Imagining what would happen to someone’s leg at the end of that, Sam gulped.
“I think I’m ready,” Quinn said with a smile, only noticing the two of them now.
“Why do I feel like something like his has happened before?” Sam said and left the room so
Quinn could
continue doing his own thing. An announcement was made so no one would worry about
the banging
noise anymore. He would also request Logan to attempt to make the room more soundproof
in the
future.
‘You keep getting stronger, Quinn.’
——
The next day, when Quinn logged into the game again, he didn’t get a request from the
martial arts god.
When checking his status, it seemed like he was in his own fights, which was to be expected
since the
top rankings fought all the time. Still, Quinn wanted to get his attention another way.
Searching for a game after having come out of the hundred rankings, for the third time, he
was matched
up with someone familiar.
‘This guy again!’ Chun thought as he saw who his opponent was. He had been having a good
day. Since
he was on a winning streak again, and from his calculations, he only needed to win one or
two more
games before entering the top hundred rankings.
‘Okay, whatever. This time I’m going to be prepared for you.’ Chun thought
When the match started, Quinn decided to stay in position and just waited for Chun to
make his move.
He threw a few axes his way, but Quinn would avoid them.
‘I know you have an ability, so I’m not going to do what I did the first time.’ Chun thought as
he took out
both axes from his back and held them in his hands.
‘I’m quite skillful at using these bad boys in my hand!’ Chun thought, running forward,
seeing that the
Noob fighter was just staying in the same position.
With the first downward strike, Quinn flash stepped behind him, and the kick that he had
been
practising a thousand times was ready. He wasn’t at full strength due to the limiter set on his
body, but
everything felt the same. Coming out like a whip, his leg had hit the back of Chun’s thigh.
If it wasn’t a game, he felt like his bones would have been crushed, and the system deemed it
so as well
since he could no longer move. With him on his knees, as soon as Quinn’s leg was back in
position, he let
it fly out again, this time hitting Chun’s head.
[Winner ‘Noob Fighter’]
After that kick, the match was over in an instant.
‘Again! What the hell is wrong with that guy? He beat me twice now and two different ways!’
Chun
screamed. ‘He’s a curse, that guy is a curse, he shouldn’t be called a noob fighter, he should
be called a
Curse fighter or something!’ Chun continued to scream, but it was pointless.
‘And what was that kick?’
Hoping to rub off some of his bad luck on the player, he decided to follow his matches, and
what he
proceeded to see next was a massacre.
The Noob fighter won his next four matches, only using mainly three moves. A flash step to
avoid his
opponent’s blow, a kick, and sometimes a punch or two, but they were used primarily for
blocking.
Soon, Quinn found himself rising the ranks, reaching rank ninety, and had once again
caught the
attention of the martial arts god.
Vincent had been watching Quinn throughout the fights and was just wondering how quick
he was able
to progress. ‘Quinn, I’ll say this again, even though you think you have no talent, I believe
you always
did. It’s just that you never had the body to quite show that talent.
‘You have created a deadly kick without even realising it. Once you have finished and learnt
these skills
to their most potential, I can’t imagine how powerful they will be adding in the vampire aura
and the Qi
you have learnt as well.’ Vincent thought.
Finally, it was time for Quinn’s and the martial arts god’s rematch. At the same time, the
name of the
Noob fighter was starting to spread.
Inside his Office, Oscar was sitting down waiting for his daily reports.
“Hmm, what’s this? A report from Sergeant Chun?” Oscar said.
“Yes,” Jade replied, standing by his side. “You know he likes to play the game of power
fighters a lot to
look for new recruits, and he says he has found a gem that goes by the name of Noob
fighter.”
My Vampire System Chapter 988: Surpassing the Teacher
Quinn’s little plan turned out to work more than he could have ever imagined. Videos would
constantly
circulate of those in the top one hundred rankings, of them fighting. Many players watched
these using
them as research. Thinking that they could emulate or learn from the best, perhaps one day,
they too
could join the rankings.
That’s when Quinn’s videos started to gain attention, not because of the difficult opponents
he defeated
but because of the style in how he defeated them. It was a reminder of how a certain
someone named,
Martial arts god rose to the top.
These videos also had caught the eye of the Martial arts god himself, and he felt like he had
no choice
but to send Quinn another request for a duel. He felt like he was being taunted.
In his mind, first, Quinn didn’t use any abilities at all in their fight. Now, after a single match
with him, he
has risen the ranks again using the very attack he had used.
For the outsiders, they just saw another rising of a martial arts god. Now that the two of
them were
facing each other again, the spectators had increased significantly.
In the crowd watching from the sidelines, a lot of the onlookers weren’t currently looking at
the two
that were about to have a fight, but those that had come to watch the match. The most
famous among
them was a rank ten.
He was quite the large male with red hair and had several scars on his body. To the audience,
he was
known as the Red Reaper, but in reality, on the outside world, his true name and position
carried a lot
more weight.
‘Two fighters who don’t use abilities and are in the top hundred rankings. Perhaps one of
them is the Qi
user that ‘he’ is looking for.’ The man who was thinking this.. was named Chris. Although he
held a rank
ten position in the game, he held the number one position in the organisation known as
Pure.
“I don’t understand your actions?” The Martial arts god said. “You refused to fight me, and
then you
copied my technique like so. Even your stance right now is just a poor imitation of mine. Did
you just
want to get humiliated in front of all these people?”
“No,” Quinn replied. “I just want to see how far I can go.”
The response wasn’t what the martial art’s god expected. He shifted his feet and was ready.
The fight had started, but neither one of them ran towards each other. Instead, they inched
closer and
closer. Each of them waiting to be within range. The two of them were also of similar height
and reach,
so one didn’t have an advantage over the other.
When they finally reached each other’s range, in an instant, both of them went ahead with
the same
move, delivering the intense thigh kick.
‘There both are just as fast as each other, and they both look just as strong.’ Chris thought.
Due to them both using the same move, it meant that a certain part of their body would
collide with
each other, and that was their shins. Neither one of them was wearing armour, and when
they both hit.
The crowd winced in pain. Hitting one’s shin on something alone hurt greatly. They couldn’t
imagine
such strong hits banging into one another. A bang was heard, and at the same time, their
foot went back
to the position it was in previously. Still, the second they landed on the floor, they both went
at it again,
throwing their legs out hitting each other’s shins.
Each time their legs would hit, the crowd wanted to look away but at the same time couldn’t
keep their
eyes off the scene in front of them. Neither person was backing down with each kick.
‘What is this guy’s leg made off!’ Quinn thought as he continued. Even though his stamina
wasn’t taking
a toll, he could see his game health was decreasing, and because of that, his strength was
slightly
suffering as well.
Knowing that he would eventually lose this battle, Quinn decided to use the flash step, to
move behind.
‘Even if you pivot now, you will be off-balance. With the kick, I practised thousands of times.
It will reach
him!’ Quinn thought.
“Your kick is good. You must have practised a lot, but I have practised far more than you,
and more than
just one thing.” The martial arts god said, moving back and causing Quinn’s strike to hit
nothing but the
air.
Soon after, Quinn felt another kick hitting his back leg, the only thing holding up. He was
off-balance,
and his body had been swept off the floor, soon he saw the white ceiling.
Rolling off the floor, Quinn was ready for a close confrontation, as he knew the martial arts
god was
going to use this opportunity to clinch or do something else, and Quinn was right. As he got
up, he could
see him upon him and desperately threw out a punch, which was grabbed by the martial arts
god.
Pulling Quinn towards him, he elbowed him in the face, then pulled his arm out, slamming
down at the
joint, popping it and breaking it. Right after a kick to the knee caused his leg to come out,
and standing
on top of that leg, the martial arts god lifted both of his elbows and slammed them down on
top of
Quinn’s head.
[Winner ‘Martial arts god’]
For the second time, Quinn had lost, and the crowd cheered in response.
‘That fight, although the Noob fighter isn’t using any type of ability, I could be wrong, but I
think the
martial arts god was. He would have never won this unfair fight unless he had Qi, of course.’
Chris
thought, smiling to himself, wanting to seek out this Noob fighter.
After the fight, Quinn once again received an invitation from the martial arts god. This time,
he was
prepared for his stubbornness, and he was hoping their conversation would go the right way.
After accepting, he had been transported to the same room as Quinn.
“So, will you listen to me now?” Quinn asked.
Ignoring everything he said, he asked his own questions.
“Are you really dedicated to not using an ability?’ He asked.
“For this game, yes, I want to only use my fighting techniques. I saw your skills and was
hoping to learn
them myself.” Quinn admitted, hoping it was enough. “I hope I impressed you today with
my skills.”
Quinn smiled.
Hearing this, The martial arts god smiled back.
“Maybe you’re the one. Let’s see how you will progress.”
Quinn’s plan had worked. Knowing his character and how he was into role-playing, Quinn
just had to
imagine him as some grandmaster. Even his user ID, meant that this man wanted to escape
reality, so as
long as Quinn did something extravagant to get his attention, he thought he would be
pleased, and it
managed to work out in the end.
The martial arts god explained to Quinn that his fighting style wasn’t called Muay Thai like
Vincent had
expected but was something similar. Instead, his fighting style was something called Muay
Baron. A very
ancient fighting style used in war in the past.
It was a title given to those that were to protect the king, and a fighting style used to kill its
opponents
as quickly as possible. Later on in life, the sport was banned, so not many people chose to
learn it, but
the skills were continued to be passed on, and the Martial arts god believed he was the only
person who
still knew all the skills of Muay Baron.
The teaching process, as usual for Quinn, was something he was able to catch onto quickly.
The martial
arts god, didn’t say much, so Quinn didn’t realise how much he had progressed until he had
joined the
rankings once more.
He fought using the techniques he had learnt, rising up through the rankings, and people
wanted to
know who he was if anyone had an idea about him.
But no one knew.
The more Quinn won his matches, exclusively using the martial arts gods skills, the more
the person
took a liking to him and eventually, after reaching rank sixty, the inevitable had happened.
For the third time, Quinn had been matched up with the martial arts god, who had been his
teacher for
the last couple of days.
It was unknown to those in the game that the martial arts master had become Quinn’s
teacher. They
just suspected that the ‘Noob fighter’ Was some genius who had picked up the same fighting
style.
So what happened next came as a surprise to everyone
“I forfeit the match.” The martial arts god said. “I know when someone has surpassed me,
and I know
when someone has decided to limit themselves when fighting.”
Although Quinn didn’t know, during the first fight, the martial arts master realised
something that Quinn
didn’t himself. His movements were slightly awkward. It was as if he wasn’t used to the
speed he was
fighting at.
He didn’t know why, and he didn’t know how, but the ‘Noob fighter’ Was never fighting at
full strength
against him. It was because of this, and after seeing him learn the thigh kick so well, he
wanted to see
how far this person could go, whether they could go past the wall, he had hit.
“I have taught you everything now. My wish is for you to keep going up the ranks and reach
the number
one spot using what I have taught you. For me, this will be the biggest achievement.” The
man said, and
soon the whole gaming area disappeared.
Exiting out of the pod, Quinn had quite the experience over the last few days playing the
game, and he
had achieved his goal.
“Thank you, martial arts god. I will help you achieve your dream…one day.” Quinn said. “For
now, I have
some students that need looking after.”
Little did Quinn know, how right he was.
My Vampire System Chapter 989: The fear of him
Before leaving the cursed ship, Quinn did his usual, getting an update status from Sam on
things that
were happening with the Cursed faction. After all, he was already on the ship to talk to them
in person
rather than through communication devices.
It also seemed like quite a few of the core team were busy doing other things, so it was good
to know
how they were doing.
In the command centre, Sam was a bit distracted. He was looking at files on the holographic
display but
at the same time seemingly doing nothing. Even when Quinn walked in, his face would have
been seen
through the files since they were slightly transparent, but Sam continued to stare at the
screen blankly.
“Is everything okay, Sam?” Quinn asked, approaching him slowly. There were a few times he
had seen
him like this, but now Quinn was starting to wonder what could’ve happened that made him
this way.
“Oh Quinn, yeah, everything is fine…I think anyway.” Sam replied, gulping as well. He was a
complete
nervous wreck, and he had sweat running down his face. “It’s just, I think it’s too hard to
explain. Why
don’t you just go see Logan? It seems he has come back from his little trip. Just don’t attack
him.”
Now Quinn was really intrigued because Sam was simply making no sense. With the way he
was, he
wouldn’t have been able to get a clear answer from him anyway.
‘Don’t attack him. Why would I ever attack Logan?’ Quinn thought, walking ahead to the
research lab.
When entering, he could see Logan busy working away as usual, and at the same time, he
had his
robotic arm covering most of his right arm, although it did seem a little bulkier than usual.
‘Didn’t he want to get that fixed?’ Quinn thought.
The next second, Logan found himself dropping several items due to his larger clumsy right
robotic arm.
Before it could fall to the floor, Quinn whisked to his side and caught several small parts,
placing them
back on his workbench.
“It seems you keep getting faster every time I see you,” Logan said. “This arm is a little
difficult to
control.”
“About that.” Said Quinn. “Why did you make a bigger arm? Weren’t you going to replace
it?”
A few seconds later, small little parts of steam were seen escaping from the robotic arm. It
split apart in
half and fell to the ground, revealing what could be seen underneath. A dark black arm with
several
scales all over. His fingers were larger than that of a human with fingernails that acted and
looked more
like dragon claws, although they seemed to have been shaven down for easier use.
“Logan, what the hell did you do! You said you had it all under control, and you would be
fine. Are you
now a Dalki!? Why would you do that to yourself?!” Quinn couldn’t understand at all. Surely
Logan
would have been better with a robotic arm, and if he could recreate a Dalki arm, why
couldn’t he
recreate a human arm.
“Quinn, I do have everything under control. I did this to myself on purpose, as to your
question of why.
Everyone has sacrificed so much. How many people have you turned due to them wanting
power? Isn’t
this the same? This way, I can finally be of help. I haven’t lost my ability either. They have
made their
sacrifice, and I have made mine.”
In a way, Quinn understood what Logan felt, but he just didn’t realise Logan felt this way. He
never
thought Logan wanted power, and he was always a big asset to the Cursed group, that he had
failed to
realise how much Logan felt like he wasn’t a part of it.
“Besides, I am plenty human. I have put in measures that make it so the Dalki blood can’t
spread to my
body. It also seems to be less contagious as your vampire blood, which rapidly changes one’s
body.”
Logan explained.
Looking at his arm, Quinn could see that halfway up past his elbow, there was what looked
like a small
little metal brace that was almost a part of Logan’s arm. Below it, the arm was all Dalki,
while above was
the rest of Logan’s body.
“I thought about it for a while, but perhaps if my parents didn’t just rely on their brains all
the time, they
would have been alive today. I need something to at least protect myself.”
Quinn couldn’t argue with that. Although he wanted to protect everyone, there would
definitely be
times that he couldn’t.
“So, how is the arm?” Quinn asked out of curiosity.
“Why, don’t you see for yourself?” Logan said with a smile, and the next second, Quinn
could see a fist
coming towards him. His reaction was good, and he had blocked the hit holding his fist in
place, but
Quinn’s hand was shaking from the sheer power.
‘It’s strong. It’s been a while since I have taken a Dalki’s power head on, but just how strong
is the Dalki
blood running through Logan, and does he still have the same effect as other Dalki?’ Quinn
wondered.
“I know what questions you want to ask, but I still haven’t figured out everything myself yet.
I need to
get used to the arm first, and then I will be able to provide you with your answers.”
Letting go of the punch, Quinn looked at the arm one more time.
“Your one crazy guy.” Said Quinn.
“I believe that I am not as crazy as a certain vampire boy,” Logan replied and got back to
work.
———
Meanwhile, back on earth, inside the beast weapons class, Quinn’s students had just entered
and were
a little depressed. The energy was low. Of course, they would be as their substitute teacher
Aden had
constantly been telling them every day how horrible they were. How they had weak abilities,
and they
were even useless at fighting.
Aden had his own methods, and he thought constantly telling them how bad they were
would make
them work harder to improve and surpass the others. Although that worked on some kids,
that was
slightly stronger. For most of those in the class, they were already feeling bad about
themselves.
They saw the beast class as their one opportunity to still be seen as an asset to the outside
world, but
now they were being told they were horrible at this as well.
Aden, was in charge of two beast classes and was in charge of the Earthborn classes, so for
today he
decided to bring in five students from his main class.
“The reason I have brought these guys in today is to show you all just how far apart you are
from them.
You guys need to work harder, remember you will be fighting soon for points for your house.
In return,
these points will be used to upgrade your dorm facilities, and those who contribute the most
points for
their houses will be gifted with high-level beast crystals.”
Just as he had finished his speech, it looked as if Aden had gotten a call.
“What happened!” He shouted over the receiver.
He quickly walked over to the five students that he had brought with him.
“Alright, I have to go for just a short while, but I’m going to leave you in the hands of Zhen
here and the
rest of them. Show them what you got.” Aden said, quickly leaving the room.
The kids stayed in their positions, waiting to see what the kids upfront would do. There were
three boys
and two girls. Zhen looked the most confident out of all of them, he had bushy but straight
eyebrows,
and his hair was neat, sticking outward slightly to the side.
He had a pair of strong shoulders on him and always had his beast sword by his left side. As
for the
others, one of the boys who were with them was Erlen, who was no longer his former self.
His eyes
looked dead and didn’t even look like he cared that he was there.
“Alright everyone, you heard what the teacher said, but let’s be honest, what can we really
teach you in
such a short amount of time?” Zhen said, raising his shoulders. “Let’s face it, if you choose to
fight, then
you will only get a beating, and the last thing we want to do is be called bullies. So I have an
idea. There
will be three groups, the Earthborn group, the Graylash group, and yours, at this event. So
what I’m
going to ask of you guys instead is to just lose convincingly to us on the day. We won’t hurt
you guys
when there is no need to, and you can let this just be a competition between the Earthborn
and the
Graylash group.
“What do you say?” He asked.
When speaking, Zhen didn’t say these words in an arrogant tone. Instead, he was talking as
if he was
genuinely concerned for the students and was doing them a favour by coming top with this
deal.
Because of this, a lot of the students were starting to think it was a good idea.
They didn’t know the strength or skills of the other students taking the beast weapons class,
but due to
how much Aden complained about their skills, they thought it was a lost cause.
“Are you really that strong?” A voice from the students said. “You don’t even know if we are
weaker
than you. You just looked at us and assumed. Besides, isn’t this military training for fighting
against the
Dalki? Do you think we can really just say to them it’s okay, we will let you win? No, we can’t,
we fight so
we can get better.” Shiro said.
The smile on Zhen’s face stayed present.
“I just wanted to help you guys.” He said, “You don’t need to take us up on our offer. And
about what
you said earlier. Let’s see then, why don’t we have a duel if you really think we are on the
same level.
Maybe you are right, and I was just being too cautious.”
As Zhen said these words, Erlen walked forward and grabbed Zhen by the sleeve.
“Don’t do it, leave that kid alone Zhen, trust me, it’s not worth it. You don’t know what will
happen if
you mess with these kids.”
Pulling his arm away and out of Erlen’s grasp, he whispered in his ear.
“You’ve changed Erlen. I know you were some big shot in the elemental class, and I don’t
know why you
decided to move into the beast weapon class, but me and you are not the same. I don’t rely
on my
family’s power.” Zhen said, walking away and up to Shiro.
Erlen started to shake again, not because of what he thought Zhen would do, but because of
what he
feared Hardy might do.
“Hey, you two girls, you saw that I took no part in this right, make sure you remember this.”
Erlen said.
My Vampire System Chapter 990: Activating new power
In the beast class, Erlen and Zhen seemed to be having a disagreement about something.
Shiro had
confidently walked up to the walls and went ahead, grabbing a pair of dual short blades. One
held in
each hand and walked to the centre of the room where everyone had already spread out.
To Zhen, it was clear that he had accepted his challenge, and he too decided to ignore the
warning given
and walked out to the centre of the room. There was no officiator, no ref for this fight, just a
match
between students who were using beast weapons.
“Hey, don’t you think we should try to find a teacher or something? This could go bad. There
is no one
here to stop the fight if anything happens?” Venus asked.
Venus was with Swin as usual, and the two of them looked around the room to see if anyone
else was
going to get a teacher. At the same time, they were worried if they left, that things might just
get out of
hand, and backup from the two of them was needed.
“If anything happens to Shiro, we have to back him up like he did for us at that time,” Swin
replied.
Pulling out his own sword from his sheath. Zhen held it in his hand. It was made with good
quality
materials. The hilt’s beast parts showed that it was most likely an intermediate weapon.
Compared to all
the basic tier weapons that had been placed on the wall, this was quite an achievement, as it
meant that
this was Zhen’s own proposal weapon he had brought in.
The swords were something between that of a short sword and a longsword. Not too heavy,
but still
carried decent range ready to be held in both hands for extra power, or a single hadn’t for
more options
and flexibility.
Activating the beast weapon, new energy was felt moving into his body. He was now
stronger than
before. Activating a beast weapon to be used to its full potential and gain its stats didn’t
always show a
sign.
However, some weapons would light up when active. They even had beast training balls that
would
change colour once they sensed the person had activated them already.
Seeing the weapon in Zhen’s hand, Shiro’s confidence swayed a little, but he gripped both of
his swords
tightly and knew he had to have confidence in himself.
After meeting with Quinn and Sil, Shiro’s opinion did change a little. He no longer worried
about which
weapon would suit the ability he would get, and just tried using the best weapons or
weapons he could
at the time, and that’s when he had found the dual swords.
Activating two of them gave a slightly better boost compared to other weapons, and
although the
strength given when using them wasn’t much, the speed made up for it.
The fight had begun, and Zhen was seen walking up confidently to Shiro as if he didn’t have
to worry
about a single thing.
“Let me show you the difference between our class and yours. There is a big difference
between us. We
know how to use the active skills in our weapons. This alone gives us a huge advantage.”
Zhen said,
using his top speed to dash towards Shiro.
To the students watching, this was impressive, and it was the first time those from Quinn’s
class had
seen a beast weapon fully active.
‘This is how much speed one can gain from beast weapons?’ A student asked but was more
amazed at
the same.
However, when Zhen got close and swung his sword, sharp fast and confidently, what he
didn’t expect
was it to be blocked by one; of shirts swords, and before Zhen knew it, the other hand that
was free and
had a sword, was swung at his side hitting him against his armour.
Even though he was wearing armour, the strength of the strike hurt him, and Zhen couldn’t
help placing
his hand over where he had been hit.
“You lied. You already know how to activate your best weapon.” Zhen complained, still
holding onto his
side.
“I never said that we didn’t know how to activate the power of the beast weapon.”
Hearing Shiro’s reply, they had an idea of what had happened. Although Zhen had activated
his, and he
should have had more power and strength, so did Shiro, allowing him to block the attack
and hold it.
“You,” Zhen said, placing his other hand free forward. “Do you know why I only hold my
weapon in one
hand? It’s so I can still use my ability.
Before Shiro could move, he felt something wrapping around his arms and legs. Soon he
couldn’t move
at all. The vines wrapped around his arms tightened until he eventually dropped both
swords, no longer
being able to use them.
“I’m really going to enjoy this,” Zhen said, with the same smile he always had. Throwing out
his fist, he
had the sword guard covering his knuckles and hit Shiro right in the face giving him a
bloody nose.
Then, he continued to punch Shiro on his sides and went back to the head again, as if he
was a boxing
bag.
“Hey, stop, what are you doing!” Venus ran out, and so did Swin straight behind him.
He ignored their words and didn’t even care if they were about to interrupt. Shiro looked
almost
unresponsive, but when Zhen threw another fist until it was eventually stopped by Erlen
himself.
Holding onto his arm, it started to freeze quite quickly.
“You need to stop!” Erlen said.
“What the hell are you doing?” Zhen asked.
“I’m protecting you. I’m protecting all of us. Please just stop hitting these students.” Erlen
pleaded.
Zhen looked into his eyes for a few seconds, and he could see worry. This person who is this
strong was
worried about something, but what were they worried about?’ He thought.
Because of this, Zhen decided to stop, letting his ability go and dropping Shiro to the floor.
“I guess there is no need for us to show you anything,” Zhen said, walking back to the others.
“You
already have someone that knows how to activate beast weapons, so why don’t you ask him?”
Soon, all five of them had left the room, and Shiro was left there on the floor. A busted lip,
probably a
broken nose and a few ribs, with only Venus and Swin by his side.
The students didn’t really know what to do or what to say to Shiro, but they actually thought
for a brief
second when Shiro had gotten the first strike in, they had a chance, but it all quickly
vanished.
“Come on, we have to take him to the medical room,” Venus said, lifting him up on his back.
“Let’s go,” Swin replied.
Just as the two of them, along with Shiro on their backs, were about to exit the room, the
door had
opened, and the first teacher to walk in was teacher Aden, but the one that followed him
was general
Hardy.
“Hardy, your back!” Venus said with a smile.
For Quinn, he couldn’t; keep his eyes off the injured person who was on Venus’s back. The
main thing
was the smell that was coming off his body. Even a single drop, he knew the student was
bleeding.
What shocked him was seeing that it was Shiro who had been beaten once again, but he was
in a worse
condition than before.
“Venus, take him to the doctor’s office and have Hayley heal his wounds,” Quinn ordered.
“As for the
rest of you, I want you to tell me what happened now.”
Hearing everything, Quinn wasn’t angry. He was more upset with himself due to allowing
things to
happen while he was away. He wondered what to do. There was a big event coming up, and
his class
was at the bottom of the barrel.
However, what he was most concerned about, was that Shiro had been beaten up a second
time.
‘Didn’t everything end with that last event? I guess there is more than one rotten apple.’
‘I can’t do what I did last time and get too involved like that. Clearly, it hasn’t helped Shiro as
he is still
being bullied. I need to come up with something, so none of those in my class gets hurt.”
Quinn thought.
My Vampire 991
My Vampire System Chapter 991: Best in the world
Not too long ago, Aden had gone running out of the classroom and had left Quinn’s beast
class in
control of the other students. His reasoning for doing this was because of the call he had
received,
informing him that the teacher ‘Hardy’ Had finally returned and would be taking over the
beast class
lessons again.
Thinking that his days of teaching the class were over, he rushed out personally to find
Hardy. That’s
when Quinn had finally returned to see his students in their current state.
Venus had done as asked and went ahead to take Shiro to the doctor. However, there was still
half of
the lesson left. Quinn knew that the incidents wouldn’t stop, and dealing with one
problematic student
wouldn’t stop what went on between students.
‘So they decided that all these kids will be fighting against the other beast classes. I wonder
how much
they have progressed?’ Quinn thought.
“I’m sorry I have been away for a while. I had some important matters to attend to.” Said
Quinn. “I have
heard about the upcoming beast class event. If you guys can, feel free and show me what you
have
learnt over these past few days.”
The idea was to get the students to try to forget about what happened, call them down, and
see where
they were currently. The atmosphere in the room was heavy, and one of Quinn’s speeches
wasn’t going
to fix that.
Eventually, the students grabbed their weapons and attempted to activate them, while
others seemingly
had given up and just practised improving the skills with the weapons.
Walking around, Quinn went to those that seemed to have a hang of activating the beast
weapon and
decided to give them a few more tips. In the past, when Quinn had first touched a beast
weapon, his
system had activated it all for him, but learning Qi helped him understand the process
more.
With the second stage of Qi, Quinn could feel those who were able to summon the energy to
use beast
weapons, but something wasn’t quite there.
He knew of a way to help them but was careful. What Quinn was careful of, was touching
the students
in case he turned them accidentally.
‘Maybe, it won’t be a problem anymore. I can not only control the Qi energy but my red aura
as well,
perhaps..’ Quinn thought, as he walked up to a student who was close to activating his
weapon and had
their eyes closed.
Quinn placed a single finger on the back of his shoulder, closed his eyes and could feel his
energy.
Immediately it looked like the red energy was attempting to do what it did best, entering the
human’s
energy and taking it over, but Quinn had practised controlling it, and with his new Blood
control stats.
He was able to move it away, eventually switching it out, and placed a small bit of his regular
Qi into a
student.
With that small bit of energy, Quinn then started to help the students.
“Can you feel the warm bit of energy that has entered your body? That energy is mine. I can
tell you
have a sense of feeling for yourself already. You need to follow that energy, and you will be
able to
activate the weapon.” Quinn explained.
A few seconds later, the students had activated the beast weapon and felt the power
energising his
body. Not wanting to touch the student for longer, he let go of him, just in case something
went wrong.
“I did it!” The student yelled. “I finally activated the beast weapon.”
Everyone could see the student shouting with joy and the teacher Hardy behind him. So
many of them
had struggled for so long, and after one lesson of Hardy returning, a student was successful
in activating
their beast weapon.
“Is he a miracle worker? Maybe he can help me as well?”
“Ah man, I liked Aden at first, but he turned out to be an arse.” Another student
commented.
Soon, all the students were calling Quinn, asking him to help them out next, but there were
over a
hundred students, and some of them weren’t quite at the stage this student was.
‘Even if they all learn to activate their soul weapons, they won’t be ready for the fight in time.
I need to
do something else.’ Quinn started to think.
‘Don’t you think what you had done was a little dangerous?’ Vincent asked. ‘Touching that
boy, you
could have turned him here in front of everyone.’
‘I know, which is why I only helped him activate the weapon and not anything else. Perhaps
if I was to
move the boy’s Qi, the red aura would try to act more widely, but I have been practising my
control of
the blood and Qi energy every day. It seems after the blood control stats improved, I can
control it
pretty well now.’ Quinn replied.
Going around, Quinn helped more students that were already close to activating their
weapon, but after
just a couple more, the class was over, and they only had a total of three days until the event
was to
start.
Sitting in his homeroom class, Quinn started to think about what would be the best thing to
do. While
doing so, he had a visit from one of his students.
“I brought him here because I thought you should know he is all healed up,” Hayley said, as
she pushed
Shiro forward. She looked at Hardy for a few seconds and wondered if she should warn him
about how
the other teachers were planning something.
‘No, it’s not my place to get involved. Those generals aren’t idiots. They wouldn’t do
something that
would hurt the students.’ Hayley thought and was off.
“Shiro, you are free to go as well you know? You don’t have to give me a report. Swin and
Venus already
explained what happened.” Quinn said.
However, Shro stood there by the door, not moving forward. Although Shiro and Quinn
were similar in
many ways, Shiro lacked the confidence that Quinn had. Maybe Quinn would have been the
same if he
had never gotten the system, just getting frustrated more and more as he felt helpless each
time he was
beaten.
Standing up out of his seat, he started to walk over to Shiro.
“You know, when I went to military school, I also joined the beast class, and although you
were in a bad
state, I believe I was in an even worse state than you. I had been stabbed right through my
stomach. The
other students had staged it to look like an accident, but luckily the teacher I had at the time
knew
otherwise.”
“Stabbed, really?” Shiro thought, imagining the pain. “How did you survive that?”
Quinn gave a nervous laugh.
“You know who I am now, so you should also know that I’m not that much older than
yourself. I just
look kind of old. The doctor I had when I attended school is the same one that you have
now.”
The more Shiro learned about Quinn, the more he couldn’t believe it. Of course, after he
had found out
that Hardy was actually the leader of the Cursed faction, Shiro went to do his research. A
student who
had no ability rose to the top in such a short amount of time.
It was a tale one would only read in fairy tales. It just seemed impossible.
“Teacher…please can you teach me the shadow. I promise I will be in your debt and will join
the Cursed
faction. I just…want to have a better life than I have now. Where I don’t have to worry about
someone
else attacking me.”
Quinn could understand the frustration, but teaching Shiro, a student the shadow now,
would bring him
more trouble. Maybe he could teach it to him when he actually did join the Cursed faction
and was
onboard the Cursed ship.
For Quinn knew there were hungry people out there who wanted to get this power for
themselves.
“I can’t teach you the shadow,” Quinn said. “But maybe I can teach you something else.”
——
The next day, early morning during Quinn’s break periods, he figured out a way to help all of
the
students. Not just learn about activating the best weapon but also how to get better at
fighting with the
weapon they were using.
The only thing was, he had to ask Oscar if he could get permission to do such a thing.
“Of course you can,” Oscar said. “You should never be shy about this sort of thing. If you can
do anything
to make these students stronger and their lives better, then go ahead.”
With the request made, it was now time for the beast class to start again. The students
heading towards
the class were more excited than usual, having their teacher back, and some of them
thought that Hardy
could help teach all of them how to activate their weapons.
However, there were digital posters and s splattered throughout about the big event of the
beast classes
in the hallways. They were inviting anyone to watch. It reminded them that even if they did
learn how to
activate their weapons, it wouldn’t be enough for them to win.
“Hey, do you think Hardy will teach us first if we ask him nicely?” Swin asked.
“There are too many students, though. He only got through a few yesterday. Even if we have
the whole
lesson time today, I just don’t think he will be able to see everyone.” Venus replied.
When the two of them walked forward, the door slid open. All of the students were stunned
at what
they were looking at. They were still standing outside and hadn’t gone in because they were
unsure
about what was happening.
“Don’t be shy, come on in, we don’t have time to waste. For the next couple of days. Everyone
here will
be your teacher and will teach you to use your weapons.” Quinn explained while standing in
front of
those in the Cursed faction.
Quinn had decided to invite those in the Cursed faction that were excellent at using beast
weapons, and
they would teach the student one on one, the best way to use them.
“Each one of these are high ranking faction members from all over, from Daisy, the Black
rings, and even
those personally under the Cursed faction.” Quinn said, pointing at Wevil, who was holding
two daggers.
“Now, let’s get on with it, shall we.”
Both Venus and Swim looked at each other.
“I think we might have the best teacher in the world,” Venus said.
My Vampire System Chapter 992: A touching leader
The class was busier than ever today. It was no surprise as there was double the number of
people
present in today’s lesson. Trying to rack his head for helping his students, Quinn had come
up with a
solution. It was impossible for him to teach them all personally one by one in such a short
amount of
time.
This was often a problem when teaching a large group. Different people learnt in different
ways and at
different speeds. He would need to decide whether to just move on and forget about those
that didn’t
understand or focus on the talented students.
If he did that, it would just be him going against everything he was working so hard for.
Instead, Quinn
asked Sam for a favour this time, to send over the best beast weapon users that the Cursed
faction had.
Surprisingly, or rather unsurprisingly at this point, Sam had gone beyond what Quinn had
expected him
to do. There were more than just those on the Cursed ship that was part of the Cursed
faction. A
message was sent out that their leader was asking for the best of the best beast weapon users
across all
of the factions that were under the Cursed group.
This was their answer, and there were more than enough teachers for every student. They
were
versatile when it came to teaching. More importantly, they could teach students about their
weapons
that Quinn had no idea about.
‘Things are going well. Some of them are even better at explaining how to activate the beast
weapons
than I am.’ Quinn thought.
‘That is a given. What works for one person may not work for another. With the number of
people you
have brought, every experienced person is able to share their knowledge. I am quite
surprised that you
came up with this plan yourself.’ Vincent replied.
Quinn was quite pleased, he wasn’t sure this was enough, but at least the students seemed to
be having
a good time.
In the corner of the room, Quinn walked up to Shiro, who was there waiting with his duel
blades in his
hands.
“Alright, should we continue with what I was teaching you before then?” Said Quinn.
———-
The day had ended, and there were still two more days until the beast weapons class event
would start.
There had already been a few events that others could watch, and points to the houses had
been
applied.
The students now had a general idea of how events would work and play out.
However, it was almost impossible to hide a hundred and fifty people that had come over to
help out
the Cursed faction. Complaints had started, with one of them being Aden. He had kept an
eye on the
class and had heard what general Hardy had done.
In the end, he decided to make an official complaint to his head general of the Earthborn
group, Head
general Sach.
“This is unfair!” Aden complained. “My students haven’t had professional help and personal
tutoring
from others. It’s clear that General Hardy is just doing this before the competition to give his
students an
unfair advantage. You have to speak to the supreme commander about this.”
General Sach, was relaxing in his own office. He was twiddling with a toothpick in his
mouth, trying to
control the split part of his tongue, and soon broke the toothpick in half.
“Oscar won’t do anything. It seems he already received permission beforehand. Oscar
claimed that it
was something that we could have done to help our students at any time as well and thought
it was
actually a good idea. Remember, we are not attempting to fight against each other. This
event is just in
good spirits for the students.
“Are you really that worried that your students will lose?” Sach asked. “Skills take years to
learn. There
won’t be much that they can learn in just a couple of days. I would know better than most.”
They weren’t the only people displeased with what was happening either, as the students
from the
other classes felt it was unfair. All of their complaints had fallen upon Aden’s ears.
“Teacher, can’t you do something like that for us, invite some of the strong ones from the
military?”
“Yeah, aren’t you some respected sergeant like you keep telling us? You should know some
people,
right?”
However, it was harder than one thought to just invite people. Even people in factions, those
in the
military, they all had important jobs to do. The only thing Aden could think of was to try
and hire some
people from a faction linked to the Earthborn group.
However, to hire a personal tutor for each student would cost a fortune and would just be a
waste. He
couldn’t even imagine how much Head general Hardy was paying those people who missed
out on two
days hunting.
‘There are probably just some F and D rank Travelers from the factions.’ He thought.
“Don’t worry about anything,” Aden said. “The reason why they need to do this in the first
place is
because of how bad they are. You guys will win this with ease. You can even ask Zhen and
the others.
they saw what they were like.”
Zhen nodded confidently. Teacher Aden never heard about what he had done. Quinn didn’t
bother to
report it, for he and Shiro were planning their own personal revenge.
———
It was the last day before the event, and Quinn could see that everyone had improved by
leaps and
bounds. Having a personal tutor was like a shortcut. Making sure the students didn’t make
the same
mistakes they did when they were younger.
The most important thing was that they were all experienced fighters teaching them
fundamental ways
of fighting.
“Are you sure what you’ve taught me is enough for me to beat an ability user and one for the
top ones
as well?” Shiro asked, losing a bit of self-confidence as the days leading up to the event were
upon
them.
“Of course, I can’t guarantee you will win,” Quinn replied. “But that is the same if you had
any other
ability. Just because you have a strong ability doesn’t guarantee one to be better than others,
but what I
have taught you is something that can match against any top ability users. You want to make
an
impression and prove everyone wrong, right? Then what better way than to beat one of
those high
ranking ability users without an ability at all.
“Let’s show the whole school that they are wrong to look down on those with no ability,”
Quinn said
with a smile.
With the final day of training done, Quinn had all the students thank everyone for their
hard work. After
all, they couldn’t stay teaching the students forever, but it was a great start. The tips they
learnt today
would help them grow in the future, and now not a single student didn’t know how to
activate a beast
weapon.
Once all the student’s left, Quinn also didn’t forget to thank everyone in his faction as well.
“All of you have helped me when asked, and I don’t want you guys to think that I have done
this without
paying any of you a favour back,” Quinn said. “If any of you ever need help in the future,
please don’t be
shy to ask. I can’t help if I don’t know what the problem is.”
Those who didn’t know Quinn that well and were from the other factions were starting to
respect him
more, not just because of what he had just said but because of the actions he had taken.
Some of them
thought they were being tasked with taking on a strong demon tier beast. Sam had even
agreed to
compensate them as if they were doing so with credits and beast crystals.
When they learnt what they were actually doing, they wondered what leader or person
would take their
time to personally do such a thing. Quinn was on top of the world, and he was here teaching
students
personally. Something about that touched them more than the leaders who just ordered
others to do
their bidding.
When returning, Quinn had received a request and learnt of a few details about tomorrow’s
event. He
was to select five of his top students and then one at a time, they would battle it out in a
three-way
duel. Fighting against the beast class from the Graylash family, and from the Earthborn
group.
There would be refs on the side, wearing top beast gear and with the speed ability. They were
to stop
any serious injuries that were to happen to the students. If a ref was to stop the match, they
would then
declare the winner and why the match had been stopped. Strikes to the heads were not
allowed.
‘Five people, it reminds me of the duels we had when I got my seat of power. Ryanorrow is
going to be
an exciting day.’ Quinn thought.
Finally, the day was upon them, the beast weapons class event would be starting.
My Vampire System Chapter 993: Three classes
All of the school buildings surrounded the large green field that was placed in the centre. It
was where
the students had their opening ceremony and also where they had met their head generals
for the first
time.
Last time, a makeshift stage was built. Even in the past things like this were constructed
quickly but with
ability users even more so. Today when the students woke up, and looked out of their
window, they
could see a large almost coliseum looking stadium.
It certainly wasn’t there just the day before, but the students knew why it was there today.
Because the
beast weapons class, would be having an event to display to all the others. All students were
told to
attend, it was compulsory even though there were some that weren’t particularly interested
in the
event.
Such as those in the elemental class who rarely used beast weapons, still it would be quite
the spectacle
to watch, and events were always entertaining.
Early morning and the seats in the stadium were starting to be quickly filled. Each section
was filled with
certain classes and their homeroom teachers would be there to lead them. Not everyone
who was in
Hardy’s homeroom class was part of the beast weapons class and they were being led by
Hayley today
instead.
As for the teachers who didn’t have a homeroom class or were in a higher position, they were
told to
enter at a later time, and wouldn’t be sitting in the stadium seats, but instead would be in a
special area
right on the ground floor of the arena.
Here, they could see all the battles up close and personal, behind strong reinforced glass.
This glass
screen and area went around the entire stadium letting one view from any angle they
wished.
“Hey, there are a lot of people here today. I kept my eye on some of the teachers that work at
this
school but some of them I’ve never seen before.” Fex said, who was currently in the special
glass area
hoping to mingle with others, but he ended up walking with Peter and Helen as usual.
“That’s because not all teachers are there. They have invited some of the higher military
personnel that
aren’t part of the school, and it looks like some small faction leaders as well.” Helen
explained.
“Who cares about them? We are just here to watch Quinn’s class perform.” Peter said.
“Hey, aren’t you meant to be in the stadium with your homeroom class, since you’re a
teacher’s
assistant?” Fex asked.
Peter shrugged his shoulders.
“The teacher never asked for my help, so I guess I’m not needed.”
For a brief moment, Fex felt sorry for Peter’s students.
Not too far from where they were, there were also the head generals of the Earthborn group,
Samantha,
Innu and Sach.
“Any ideas as to when you plan to do something to that General Hardy?” Innu asked, still
feeling anger
in his body every time he was reminded of the humiliation he had received in front of all the
others.
“Patience.” Sach said. “We can’t just go after him, remember all of us are meant to be
working together
and that wouldn’t exactly promote unity. If I see the opportunity I will make sure to take it.”
Hearing all of this, Samantha wasn’t exactly pleased that the other two were still planning
something. Of
course, what happened to them was humiliating and embarrassing. Maybe she was only
okay with
Hardy because she hadn’t been humiliated.
She understood that, if a single head general as well as a nobody from the Cursed faction
was able to do
that to the head generals of the new Earthborn group, it would cause a power shift. However,
maybe
that was just how it was meant to be… After all, the strong ruled over the weak in this world,
right?
And she was starting to think with everything Hardy had been able to do so far, she was
afraid he would
be strong as well.
Currently, inside the arena, now that all the students and guests had arrived, Oscar was
giving a speech
about what would be happening today. While also generally surveying his audience, to see
how the
students were doing.
“Some of you may not realise the importance of beast weapons, but today I hope this will
change your
mind. After all, remember,” Oscar said as he pulled out the Demon tier ice sword from his
back. “It was
because of these beast weapons we are able to match the Dalki in strength.”
The students were amazed as they saw Oscar bring out his Demon tier weapon. It was as if
they were
looking at a grand treasure. Although some students didn’t care much for beast weapons, a
Demon tier
beast weapon was something that everyone could respect, because it even increased Oscar’s
strength
greatly even though he was an elemental user.
“Now, let me introduce you to the three teachers of the beast weapons classes!” Oscar
shouted.
The first one to walk out onto the arena floor was Aden and behind him was his class of
beast weapon
users. They had literally come out from the arena floor, as a hole in the ground was seen,
and slowly
rising to the top was him and his students.
When they arrived, they decided to put on a little show. With several sword users, spinning
their bodies
in synchronization. Ability users casting their powers above displaying a vast amount of
different
colours, and even more with students using their weapons together.
It was quite the show and when they were done, the students watching all clapped in
appreciation of
the display.
“Next, we have the teacher of the Graylash house, Aysel!” Oscar announced, and through the
floor once
more a female teacher who wore fishnet stockings and had her hair cut short, came up on
the stage
with her students.
“How come the Graylash family are even teaching beast class lessons?” Fex questioned.
“Remember, these are just houses so it’s not like all the students in the Graylash house are a
part of the
Graylash family.” Helen explained. “Also the Graylash family is large, just like the Cursed
faction. Over
time they had absorbed strong factions to work under them, just like the Cursed have the
Daisy faction.
“So, of course, they would have weapon users under them.”
The Graylash house didn’t put on a show like the others, but instead they were all lined up
perfectly, not
moving out of position. Although the students practiced this as part of the military from
time to time,
the others could tell something was up.
It was almost as if the students we’re afraid to act, thinking something might happen to
them.
“Lastly, coming onto the stage, is the class led by the head general of the Cursed house.
Hardy!”
Lasty, Quinn and his student were raised up, but unlike the other two houses, his students
seemed more
normal. They didn’t have a fancy show, and just were nervous looking at everyone watching
them from
the stage.
The three refs from each house walked forward. On Quinn’s side there was Sergeant Fay,
who had the
speed ability, and two others from the houses Quinn had never seen before.
Soon after, Quinn was to leave the area, and he would take all the other students to the class
viewing
area with the other teachers, while those that were participating were to remain on stage.
“Good luck guys, remember everything everyone taught you, they will be watching.” Quinn
said walking
away.
What he said was true as well, the event was being broadcasted to others outside of the
school, to other
factions and on the Cursed ship. Those that had spent time teaching the students were
currently
watching the event live.
Out of the five students Quinn had picked, they consisted of Venus, Swin, Kim, and the
student who he
had first taught how to activate his beast weapon named Ru. The last person who had also
been
selected was Shiro.
The five students walked towards the centre and all fifteen students could now see each
other eye to
eye.
“Now, each of you will have a number displayed on your watch.” Oscar explained, Shiro
looked at it for a
second and could see the number five.
“When you are not fighting, you are to wait with your teacher in the viewing area. When
your number is
called, a countdown will begin. All those students with the same number will enter the
arena, and the
duel will begin immediately. So remember your number well.” Oscar said.
As Shiro was about to walk away, he could see Zhen, showing his watch across to him
proudly,
displaying the number five.
‘It looked like fate wanted the two of us to fight again.’ Shiro thought. ‘This time, I won’t
lose.’
My Vampire System Chapter 994: Thumbs up
The students who weren’t participating in the fight went back to their teacher, watching the
match
behind the glass screen. Quinn would have been with the others, but he had an obligation to
look after
the students and watch it with them.
Still, it didn’t stop Fex from breaking away from Helen and Peter, who were a bore in his eyes
and
coming over to where Quinn was.
“Hey, Qu- I mean Hardy, I guess you must be a little nervous, seeing your little runts out
there fighting,”
Fex said.
The students around could hear every word Fex said and looked up at the loud teacher.
“Who’s that? Is he someone important?”
“Not really. I think he just teaches that sewing class or something.”
“We can ignore him then. Well, I’m just glad I’m not a teacher like him.” The students spoke,
not caring
if Fex heard them or not.
“Hey, hey, my sewing class is great!” Fex said, but seeing all the students looking through the
glass
screen ignoring him, he knew it was pointless to say anymore.
“I’m nervous, but not for me, for them.” Quinn said. “I can imagine for them they think that
this
moment means everything for their future lives, but honestly it doesn’t. I want them to just
have fun if
possible.”
The first number was called out, number one. All students with number one would soon be
entering the
fighting field. Looking at his wristwatch, Venus noticed that he would be the one going first.
A countdown timer counted down from twenty seconds in the glass room, which just made
the pressure
even worse. Now he had to watch the count down before the glass door would open and the
fight
would begin.
“I think you almost forgot this,” Quinn said, handing over a grey spear with a sharp blue tip
at the end. It
was Venus’s beast weapon, which was an interesting choice considering his ability. He was so
nervous
that he had almost forgotten his weapon.
Finally, the number had reached zero, and the doors opened. Venus immediately started to
rush out
into the open, and the two from the other areas, who were marked number one, had also
entered the
arena.
“Stay calm!” Quinn shouted, but he was afraid that even if Venus could hear him, he had
already
blocked out everything and was focused on the fight.
Venus was just imitating what the other students were doing. He saw the two of them rush
forward, and
so did he. The audience’s cheers were carrying the students to do crazy things and not act
straight. It
wasn’t until he reached the centre that he realised who exactly was going up against.
Although he didn’t recognise the male student from the Graylash house who wielded a spear
as well,
Venus did know the student from the Earthborn house. For the two of them used to go to
the same
school as each other.
It was Erlen, when Venus looked him in the eye and could see the sword being held in his
hands, his
body started to shake. The three of them were running towards the centre at this point, but
suddenly.
Erlen took a turn and went towards the student in the Graylash house instead.
‘Why is he going for me? Shouldn’t we take out the weak one first so the two of us can have a
proper
match? Isn’t that what Zhen told us?’ The Graylash member thought.
Taken by surprise, he thrust his spear half-heartedly, and the attack was parried by Erlen’s
sword. With
his other hand free, he grabbed onto the spear, and it started to freeze in place, making it
heavier.
Charging in more, Erlen started to hit the student with full force using the side of his sword.
It had hit his
ribs. Then when he was up close, a punch to the cut.
Before he could recover, Erlen had grabbed the student and started to freeze his body all
over, attaching
him to the ground. While the Graylash students body was frozen, Erlen went to hit the large
block of ice
with his sword again, but before he could, the ref on standby for the Graylash family stopped
Erlen by
the arm.
“The Graylash student has lost this match.” The ref said. They broke the ice safely and
brought the
student back to where they were.
It was a completely one sided fight that was over in just a few seconds. People knew Erlen
was strong
with his ability, but it seemed like he wasn’t too bad with the sword either. It was no wonder
they had
decided to use him for the event.
With the Graylash student out of the match, only one person left, Venus.
‘Crap! Is he going to try to pay me back in this arena for what happened to his family, but the
ref will
stop the fight if that happens, right? They’ll stop it before I get seriously hurt, just like what
happened
now.’ Venus thought.
However, the question in his head was: What if they didn’t stop the fight in time?
“This is bad!” Swin said, being concerned for his friend. “Venus’s ability is water, while
Erelen’s is ice. It’s
going to be a hard battle for him to win unless he uses his weapon.”
The others hearing this agreed with Swin as well, and from the look of it, Venus was still
suffering from
past trauma dealt by Erlen.
However, his next move surprised everyone as he placed the sword away.
“I beat the Graylash family member for you, I hope this is enough for you to forgive me, and
I will forfeit
from this match,” Erlen said, raising his hand. “In return, all I ask for you is that you at least
let my
parents work at the company again.”
Erlen was bowing down to Venus, something never seen before, and the students watching
in the seats
had no clue what was going on. Still, Quinn could hear everything, even through the glass
with his super
hearing.
“They don’t have to be in the same position they were in before. It’s just they built that
company up
from scratch, and I can see it’s killing them every day to not be a part of it, and it was all my
fault.
Please, I’m sorry! I don’t know why General Hardy looked out for you or what your
relationship is with
him, but please ask him this favour!” Erlen went on his knees, and he placed his head on the
floor,
begging him.
Honestly, Venus didn’t know what to do. He wasn’t practically close with teacher Hardy and
didn’t have
a clue why he had gone so far for them. If Venus wanted to, he couldn’t really do anything,
and he didn’t
want to agree and then not follow through with his request.
Hearing everything, Quinn thought about it. Erlen clearly was affected by his ways, and he
wasn’t like
some who could never admit their wrong doings. People could change, and in this instance,
what Quinn
was most impressed by, was the fact that Erlen didn’t seem to be doing this for his own
benefit, he
could tell.
Erlen was asking for his parents more than anything.
Lifting his head off the floor, Erlen knew that maybe Venus couldn’t do anything, but he
couldn’t ask
Hardy. Sometimes asking those you did wrong or the cause of this would make it worse.
Just as he was about to walk away back to his group, he could see a thumbs up from Hardy
himself in
the distance through the window.
‘Wait, is that thumbs up for me?’ Erlen thought. Venus was still looking away from him, so it
couldn’t be
towards Erlen. He then pointed at himself to make sure, and he could see teacher Hardy
giving him a
nod.
‘How…how could he hear me through the glass and from so far away!’ He thought, but it
didn’t matter.
The emotions started to build up in Erlen, about how stupid he had been. In his whole life,
he had gotten
away with everything he had done. He had never suffered from the consequences until that
day he had
learnt a lot.
“Thank you!” Erlen shouted, bowing down and heading back to his classmates.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like we have a winner!” Oscar announced to everyone’s
surprise. The
boy who looked nervous and did nothing had won, giving the first win to the Cursed house.
‘I don’t know who you are, Hardy, but thank you.’ Erlen thought.
My Vampire System Chapter 995: The Turnaround
When Erlen returned to his classmates, it was safe to say that he wasn’t exactly welcomed
with open
arms. They couldn’t hear what he had said, and we’re all confused why he had quit the
match.
When Erlen went through the glass door, he had returned to the others, and everyone was
staring at
him.
“Tell me now Erlen!” Aden shouted. “Why didn’t you attack the student from the Cursed
house and just
forfeit the match like that. Did Hardy pay you off!?”
With everything going on and what he had seen and learnt of Hardy so far, Aden was
starting to think he
was just some person who had money. One who had reached such a position in the faction
due to
connections or something else, and now he was suspecting that Erlen had been paid off as
well.
“I just thought I was going to lose a lot more if I attacked him,” Erlen said, walking past Zhen,
who
glanced at him from the corner of his eye. Erlen had wholly ignored him going forward.
This just rubbed something inside Zhen, and soon he turned and grabbed Erlen by his collar,
lifting him
in the air. Zhen was quite a tall student and had a macular frame. Picking up Erlen wasn’t
hard, and
Erlen’s feet were just tip toeing off the g. Wed.
“Zhen, clam down, we aren’t the only ones here!” Aden said as he started to panic and looked
at
everyone looking around them. Technically the glass tube was connected all the way around
the arena.
Although all three houses were placed in separate parts, one could walk through the whole
glass area
and see all the other teams.
This meant there were plenty of people walking around at this moment that weren’t
students or
teachers.
Seeing the teacher panic like so, Zhen let go of Erlen’s collar.
“Just remember that we are all part of the same house. Your actions affect the whole team.
No one will
want someone like you to join if you’re not a team player. You’re selfish.” Zhen said, looking
away.
“I know I am, which is what I’m trying to fix, and my family is more important than a bunch
of fake
friends at school,” Erlen mumbled, but no one had heard him.
The next fight had progressed, and the student known as Ru from the Cursed house was
called and the
other number twos. The fight was underway, and something strange seemed to be
happening. Those in
the Graylash house as well as the Earthborn appeared to be ignoring each other and focused
entirely on
Ru.
It was as if there was a pact made between them before the match. What managed to take
them by
surprise was how much more skilful Ru was than they thought. He was being overwhelmed
by two sets
of attacks but had held his ground for a while until eventually, Fay intervened and declared
it a loss for
the Cursed house.
“That’s not fair!” Venus shouted. “If they hadn’t tagged teamed Ru like that, then he would
have had a
chance at winning.”
That’s what many people thought as well. Upon his return, Quinn would make sure to give
him the
praise he deserved for doing well. With Ru out of the picture, the other two fought, and it
was a slim
win, but the Earthborn student managed to claim victory.
The results were one win to the Cursed house and one win to Earthborn. With three
matches remaining.
Even if there was a clear winner, all matches would progress for experience and the event, so
Shiro
knew he had to fight either way.
He just was hoping that his team would win before then, so the added pressure wouldn’t be
on his
shoulders.
Despite having lost twice in a row, the teacher for the Graylash house looked unfazed, and
when
number three was announced, a smile appeared on her face, as a female student had entered
the stage.
‘The first match the Cursed were only able to win due to us forfeiting, and the Graylash have
some
skilled people but not enough to pull this win. We have this in the bag.’ Aden thought.
However, when the match started, the female student from the Graylash family threw her
sword in the
ground and opened up both of her palms. She fired a lightning bolt hitting the students
from both
families. Then picking up the sword, she ran forward, placing it against the student’s neck,
causing him
to forefeet and did the same with the other.
“Should that even be allowed?” Fex wondered. “I mean, she didn’t really win using her beast
weapon
skills. She just used her strong ability.”
It was true, but using an ability wasn’t against the rules. Since they were hoping to promote
some use of
weapons along with an ability. In the end, the win was awarded to the Graylash family,
making each
team even with one point each.
Finally, the number four was called out, and for this one, on the Cursed house team, Swin
had two
daggers held in his hand. He didn’t say much as he was waiting for the door to open.
Everyone cheered
him on, and unlike Venus, who was nervous, Swin seemed more steady and ready.
“That’s the person I taught. So he’s definitely going to win this!” Wevil said, watching from
the large
screen with hundreds of people from the Cursed faction who had gathered in one of the
rooms to watch
the event.
The main thing that Wevil had taught Swin, was his state of mind while fighting.
Just like last time, the student from the Graylash family and that from the Earthborn family
had gone
after the Cursed house. It was obvious what was happening at this point, to where the others
were
starting to discuss if something was up.
The stadium started to boo. After all, a lot of the students were part of the Cursed house and
wanted
them to win points for their team.
One of the fighters from the Graylash family was using a staff that they were able to extend
and shorten
at will. It was a weapon that worked well with the person’s ability. This person extended it
hoping to hit
Swin in the stomach, and at the same time, the student from the Earthborn group leapt up
in the air.
“The two of you may be working together, but you don’t know how to work together!” Swim
said,
throwing a dagger off to the side, completely missing the Graylash student. Then with his
other dagger,
Swin had hit the staff slightly upward so he could protect himself from the large axe the
other student
was using.
The axe fell down, hitting the pole. The other student was getting ready to retract the pole
when he felt
a tap on his shoulder.
“You have been eliminated. Stop fighting at once.”
The student turned around, confused, only to see that the referee had a dagger held in their
hand. Swin
didn’t miss, but using his telekinesis, he was able to control the dagger and aim towards the
students
back, attempting to pierce the heart.
Swin being confident that he would have the Graylash student eliminated from the match,
straight away
went forward to the Earthborn student. Rolling on the ground, going past the student’s legs
slicing him
on his way.
He quickly stood up and stabbed him in-between his shoulder guards again. There was a
wild swing of
the axe, but leaving the dagger stuck in the student’s shoulder, Swin let go and duck down.
During the fight, Swin had retrieved the other dagger using his ability back from the referee
and charged
in straight away again.
“Idiot, running straight at me!” The Earthborn student shouted, swinging his axe down, but
while it was
mid-air, with his hand held out, Swin started to use his ability to dig the dagger deeper into
the student’s
shoulder. It caused immense pain, and for them to stumble missing with the axe swing. At
that point,
Fay held Swin’s hand in the air so the last dagger wouldn’t hit, intervening with the fight
again.
“I think it’s safe to say that the student from the Cursed house is the winner,” Fay said in
quite an angry
tone, wondering why the referee from the Earthborn house didn’t intervene.
Oscar agreed with the decision, and in the end, the Cursed faction had been awarded their
second win.
“The Cursed house are the winners!” Oscar shouted.
Cheers from the crowd and those watching in the glass room were going crazy. It was the
same on the
Cursed ship as well. Swin had done far more than anyone had expected. He was just like
Ventus, a
nobody with a weak ability, but he had defied the odds by defeating two students at once.
“I guess you’re a good teacher after all,” Linda said, hitting Wevil on the shoulder.
Linda still couldn’t control her strength well, so Wevil was rubbing his arm from the pain,
but he didn’t
care much. For he had this overwhelming feeling seeing a student of his win. It was a warm
and fuzzy
feeling he had never felt before.
With the Cursed faction now having two points, they were the only possible winners of this
event, or a
sudden draw. It had been a complete turnaround and was unexpected by most. Still, the
event would
continue on with the final number being called, Number five, which meant Shiro and Zhen
would finally
be meeting.
‘Are you sure he will be okay?’ Vincent asked. ‘You didn’t really teach him much from what I
saw, at
least not enough to beat a strong ability user.’
‘Oh really, is that what you think?’ Quinn replied. ‘I guess I really didn’t teach him much,
but that’s
because of him, not me. Go surprise everyone, Shiro.’
My Vampire System Chapter 996: Own Talent
In his hand, Shiro was holding onto both of the duel blades tightly. His hands were slightly
shaking,
showing his nerves. He would have still been nervous if he was just to fight against Zhen
again, but there
was the one from the Graylash family as well, and everyone was watching him and counting
on him to
win.
‘If what I think is happening, is happening, Then as soon as this door opens, both of them
will come
charging in at me.’ Shiro thought. ‘Can I do it?’
“You are stronger than you think,” Quinn said. His final words as the countdown had ended
and the
glass door opened.
Rather than rushing in, Shiro decided he would observe the situation from outside. As he
decided what
to do, it would be his thinking time, but then what he saw next came as a complete surprise.
At first, the student from the Graylash group came running forward, and Zhen too seemed
to be
walking, trailing behind. There was a concerned look on the Grayish student’s face as he
noticed Zhen
not doing anything. Still, as they continued to run forward, they were suddenly stopped in
place, feeling
something tug against their leg. Looking down, they could see a root had wrapped around
their ankle,
making it hard for them to move, and when they lifted their head, a blade was already
pointed at their
throat.
“Forfeit this match, now,” Zhen said.
Gulping, the student did as asked and gave up. It was a victory that was even quicker than
Erlen’s.
“You didn’t think I would let anything ruin our little reunion, did you?” Zhen asked. “You
must have
known that this would happen if you decided to participate again. I wonder what your
teacher was
thinking, sending in someone like you. Maybe he has a screw loose in his head as well.” Zhen
continued
to taunt.
Shiro didn’t let it get to him. Maybe in the past, it would have, but he was too focused on his
breathing
right now. Taking in a deep breath at the right time, he charged forward, cutting the
distance between
the two of them far quicker than Zhen had expected.
He quickly got in a stance seeing this and soon was parrying the attacks from Shiro away. He
hit them
one by one, not having time to recover or get a solid footing to strike back.
‘What’s going on? His attacks weren’t this strong before? And he wasn’t this fast. Is he
wearing beast
armour, or is it something else?’ Zhen thought.
Eventually, Zhen had found the root that he had grown from earlier that had been used on
the Graylash
student. He was able to quickly cause this to rise and grow in front of them, blocking the
path between
the two of them.
Shiro cut down a few branches, but the tree was growing at a fast-rate, creating more
different
components that would wrap around. Still, he continued to attack them one by one, hitting
all of the
branches and not losing his breath until the entire root was destroyed.
Once again, Shiro charged in, and this time he delivered a powerful blow hitting the sword,
making
Zhen’s arm feel numb. A hit was made towards the side of his chest, but a clanging sound
was heard as
metal struck against metal.
At this point in one’s school journey life, it was rare for a student to have beast armour
unless they had
a strong family backing, and it looked to be the case here.
Still, even with the armour on, the damage could be felt. It even chucked Zhen’s body off to
the side.
Quickly wasting no time, he built up giant tree trunks, wishing to get more distance
between the two of
them.
“What is going on? Is Zhen running away?” The students wondered.
“But isn’t the other person just using a beast weapon? I haven’t even seen him use an ability.”
“Wait, that’s that kid called Shiro, right? I don’t think he even has an ability!”
Word was getting around about Shiro, and now they were wondering if the reason for his
vast
improvement was due to the beast weapons itself.
‘I don’t understand. You didn’t teach the boy Qi did you? So how did he get so strong?’
Vincent thought.
He had watched him, so he was sure he had never taught the kid Qi.
‘Your right, I didn’t teach him Qi, but I helped his body figure it out for himself.’ Quinn
replied. ‘This is all
because of Shiro’s own talent. When talking to the others, it seemed like Shiro had managed
to activate
the power of the beast weapon before anyone else. I started to realise that those that could,
had a
stronger sense of Qi within their body, and it was true for Shiro as well.
‘I remember Sil explaining his family’s strange bodies. They too seemed to be infused with
Qi, but when I
asked him about it, he never knew what it was. Qi is life force, according to Leo, so everyone
has it, but
maybe through the struggles that Shiro had been through, just like the life and death
situations the
Blades’ go through, he was able to summon some of it.
“What I just did was show him what he had. Show him the energy around his body. The rest
was down
to Shiro himself.”
Right now, Shiro’s body was infused with Qi without him even knowing about it. He would
simply think it
was the breathing technique Quinn taught or due to the beast weapons he was using. The
reason why
Quinn wasn’t afraid others would find out was due to the small amount of Qi and he also
knew that the
others would think it was due to the weapons as well.
The match continued, and Zhen’s panicking caused him to use far more MC than he realised.
Shiro was
like a beast, having locked onto his prey chasing after Zhen, and whatever would be used to
try to slow
him down, he would cut them down.
Eventually, the inevitable had happened, and Zhen had run out of Mc points, no longer
being able to use
his ability.
He gripped his sword.
“I am Zhen. Who are you!” He shouted, attempting to strike back with all his force holding
his short
sword with two hands. The blow was blocked with a single hand from Shiro, and then
another kick was
made to Zhen’s chest. Shiro continually attacked at the armour on Zhen’s body.
It would bounce off each time, and it was hard for Shiro to know if it was doing any damage
or not.
However, he thought they would eventually stop the fight and Fay, who was by the side, was
wondering
why that still didn’t happen yet.
‘Although students are allowed to wear armour, we are still meant to judge the fight as if they
haven’t
got any on. So why hasn’t the referee from the Earthborn group stepped in and stopped the
fight yet?
Clearly, the boy has lost.’
Fay took a slight step forward but then saw a faint smile coming from the teacher Aden.
‘Is this their plan? Do they want me to come in and stop the fight? Maybe then they will say I
have
stopped the fight too early, and it will give the other student time to rest.’
If this was the plan, it was a crafty one. Because anyone could tell by the way Shiro was
striking, he
couldn’t keep it up forever, and even he could tell.
However, the others didn’t know he had one more trick up his sleeve. He knew he couldn’t
fight on like
this. Placing both of his duel blades together. Shiro struck at the sword in Zhen’s hand once
again. By
now, the damage had been building up over time, and as it hit, he had let go of the blade,
causing it to
fall to the floor, but Shiro had done the same, dropping his blades.
The next step he took, he slammed his foot on the ground and pulled his left fist back.
“Wait, isn’t this one of your moves?” Fex asked.
The others knew this strike well, as Shiro threw his other fist out, hitting the centre of Zhen’s
chest piece
like a hammer. It was the hammer strike. Blood sped out from Zhen’s mouth as the attack
went entirely
through the armour.
‘Are they still not going to stop this fight? I need to go in now!’ Fay thought.
Putting on a brave face, Zhen made it look like he wasn’t hurt at all. The rest of the blood in
his mouth
he attempted to swallow. He stood up fine as if the attack didn’t hurt him.
‘The attack had to hurt him, I can tell, one more hit, and he’ll fall over!’ Shiro thought as he
went to
perform a second hammer strike again but in the middle of its moments.
The blood from Zhen’s mouth had finally given in, pouring over Shiro’s face. He stopped the
attack
midway and lost concentration, and in that second, Zhen had picked up his blade again and
struck it
towards Shiro’s heart.
In the last few seconds, it was stopped by the Earthborn referee, and Fay wasn’t too far
behind, having
already pulled Shiro out of the way as well.
“I guess this is a win for the Earthborn group then?” The referee smiled at Fay.
The students never expected to see a fight go this far. Especially between first-year students
who were
just beast users, but seeing such a spectacle, they cheered louder than any of the previous
fights before.
“The winner is the Earthborn group!” Oscar announced.
The cheers continued as the students were taken back to their groups, but there was
controversy about
who the real winner was. Shiro was walking back fine on his two feet, not having been
damaged, while
Zhen had to be carried back.
“I lost,” Shiro said as he walked through the glass doors.
“Hey, are you crazy? Of course you won that. They should have stopped that fight long ago.”
Venus said,
trying to encourage him.
For the first time, Venus and Swim weren’t the only ones talking to him, as everyone started
to rally
behind Shiro. They stated that he had clearly won the fight bringing a smile to his face.
The real question, was now that there was a draw between two groups, what would happen
next.
“Everyone, as you know, there are two points awarded to the Cursed house and two Points to
the
Earthborn House. I have just been given a suggestion from the Earthborn leaders that
maybe we should
make the tiebreaker a little more interesting.
“But I want everyone’s opinion here about it. How about for the final point, we have the two
teachers of
each class face off in a duel!” Oscar asked.
Hearing this, the students got excited thinking about seeing two experienced supposed
fighters going
toe to toe. The crowd roared in response.
‘Wait, does this mean they want me to fight?’ Quinn thought.
My Vampire System Chapter 997: Hardy strong?
The teachers that were teaching the beast classes were meant to be quite skilled using beast
weapons
themselves. Otherwise they would have never been selected to teach those classes in the
first place.
The students were excited after just witnessing a spectacular match to see real beast
weapons being
used by the two teachers. Which was why the response was so great for this change of
events.
“Wait, isn’t the beast weapons teacher for the Cursed House, teacher Hardy? Isn’t he the one
that just
made that speech at the opening ceremony. If he fights, will we even have a chance of
winning?”
“Maybe he doesn’t have a good ability, but that’s why he teaches the beast weapons class?”
“I heard that he was meant to have Emperor tier beast equipment, one of my classmates told
me.”
“Emperor tier, that has to be a lie.”
“We’ll soon find out, right?”
Behind the glass area, all the students were looking at their teacher, Hardy, wondering if he
was going to
take part. They had mixed thoughts about whether he should go and fight or not. They had
grown to like
him as a teacher after he had helped them all so much, and they had seen him do some
amazing things.
But whether he was a good fighter, was a different question altogether.
What they were more concerned about now, was if their teacher went out there and lost, the
others
would say bad things about him.
“Hardy, you don’t have to fight.” Venus said.
“Yeah, can’t you call and ask Wevil to come and replace you? You have the connections and
called him
before, right?” Swin asked.
The students continued to comment on their worries, and Quinn soon realised why they
didn’t want him
to go out and fight. They were worried about him, all of them.
“Don’t worry guys, I will go and get a win for the Cursed house.” Quinn said.
Even if their teacher’s words were confident, they couldn’t shake this uneasy feeling. They
had seen the
other teacher, Aden, show off his skills. While teaching them, he had shown off so many
times during
their lessons.
‘Wait, he said he had Emperor tier beast equipment right? So he should have better beast
equipment
then Aden, so there is a chance he can win this!’ Venus thought.
Then, he saw Quinn go over and pick up a pair of basic tier gauntlets and placed them on his
arms. At
the moment he didn’t have any gauntlets on him since giving the ruined ones to Alex.
“Didn’t you say you had Emperor tier equipment? Why are you just using the weapons we
use?” Venus
asked.
“My equipment is a bit damaged at the moment. Don’t worry, these will do.” Quinn said,
putting them
on. They felt light, as if he was wearing nothing, but in this situation he thought it was a
good thing
anyway. Since he would most likely need to hold back in the fight.
Walking out from the glass door, the students still cheered, as they had expected Hardy to
not
participate. Even if he didn’t win, they at least honoured the fact that he chose to not run
away,
although many in the Cursed house thought it was a loss already. Especially after seeing the
equipment
on his body.
‘Damn, I guess that stuff about defeating Emperor tier beasts and having Emporeir tier
equipment was a
lie then.’ The students thought.
At the other end, Aden walked out from the other side, but he didn’t have a beast weapon or
any
armour on, and he wasn’t alone. Standing by his side was Head General Sach, who wore a
monstrous
looking pair of boots. It appeared as if they were made from bones, stuck together with a
black
substance.
It was quite a horrifying thing to look at.
‘As I said, if you are patient enough, the time will come when we can show him up.’ Sach
thought.
“This is fantastic, I never thought we would get to see such a thing!” Innu was excited. “This
is perfect.
We will be able to humiliate him, and get him back in front of everyone!”
Samantha wasn’t too sure about that though. There was a certain confidence that Hardy
always carried
and even more so, she was wondering if Oscar would do anything to stop such a thing that
was about to
happen.
“I request that I substitute for teacher Aden.” Sach requested. “You see, Aden is just a
sergeant, a beast
weapons teacher, while Hardy is a Head General. We all know a head general’s strength, so
the match
should at least be against someone of his own strength right, don’t you all agree?” He lifted
his hands,
and those that were in the Earthborn group cheered as loud as they could.
A head general fighting for them would increase their chances at victory, not that any of
them thought
they were going to lose, before.
Oscar looked at Hardy for a second, who seemed unchanged about who his opponent was
going to be.
‘A head general is no easy opponent. This might force you to use your ability and reveal your
true
identity to everyone here, but if you haven’t got a problem with that.’
“Agreed, I think this is a fair request!” Oscar shouted, and everyone cheered as the decision
was made.
Aden was a little annoyed that Sach had decided to come and replace him. He thought this
was going to
be his chance to show off, especially against a useless teacher like Hardy, but he had to
comply, as Sach
was his boss after all.
On the Cursed ship, everyone was surprised to see their leader walking out and was about to
participate
in a match.
“Quinn’s really going to fight. Is he going to use the shadow?” Wevil asked.
“I hope he doesn’t. It would ruin the whole purpose of why we sent him there in the first
place, but
Quinn is Quinn.” Sam replied, almost sulking.
“Don’t worry.” Logan spoke calmly. “Do you really think he will have to use the shadow
against someone
like that? Quinn’s enemies are a much higher level than anyone here. If he has to resort to
using the
shadow here, then he would consider himself a failure. Besides, what do you think he had
been doing on
the Cursed ship the past few days?”
Although Logan didn’t tell anyone, he had watched a few of Quinn’s matches in the VR pods.
Of course,
when one would become popular in the game, Logan would hear about it, being a
moderator as well as
the creator. But there was one thing that he had found out during his search, something he
thought
about telling Quinn.
‘It shouldn’t matter too much. If those two are meant to meet, then they are meant to meet.’
Logan
thought.
Walking towards the centre, Sach could see the poor equipment Quinn had on his hands,
while the
pieces on his legs were at the Emperor tier level.
“I don’t want to face someone when they are at their weakest. I hope you aren’t taking it easy
on me?”
Sach asked.
“Don’t worry, I will not be taking this match lightly, but I can’t use my full strength. After all
there is no
one here who will be fast enough to stop me if I were to kill you by accident.” Quinn stated.
Sach was unsure if he was joking or not, but assumed that the words spoken were just there
to unsettle
him.
“Then I hope there won’t be any excuses when the match is your loss.” Sach spoke.
“Can I ask you just one question?” Quinn asked. “You have a strong chest piece underneath,
right?”
“Yes, all my equipment is at the Emperor tier level.” Sach replied.
Quinn said nothing else, and even used his inspect skill to confirm it with his own eyes.
“Let the fight begin!” Oscar announced.
The first thing Sach did, was charge in with his strong Emperor tier boots. With each step,
the arena
floor was crumbling and being lifted off the ground, while Quinn remained unmoving and
still.
‘You might think your ability will save you? As long as I don’t make eye contact with you,
then I should
be safe from your mind control.’ Sach thought. He believed this was the main reason Quinn
was acting
so confident.
When Sach finally got in range, Quinn took his stance that he had been taught in the VR
game by the
Martial Art’s God. When the timing was perfect, he swung his right leg out, pushing his hips,
and trying
to hold back some of his power. He hit Sach right in the ribs with his bare foot, slamming
the chest
piece, and cracking it slightly.
Sach, was flying through the air, and was heading right for the reinforced glass, but standing
in front of it
was Peter, who held his arms out ready to catch him.
One second, the students could see Sach charging forwards. The next second, a
devastatingly loud bang
was heard and Sach’s body was limp being held in Peter’s arms.
My Vampire System Chapter 998: Respect for you
‘Oh no!’ That was the first thought that came to Quinn’s head after delivering his kick. He
had
performed the thigh kick. A move he had practised many times, but everything he had
initially planned
had gone wrong or different to how he had expected.
For one, Quinn had only planned to use half his strength, hoping to match what he had
done in the
game. He thought he had the speed and strength down so he could imitate that quite well.
However,
this was real life and not the game.
For one, Sach was far faster than Quinn had anticipated, so while he was getting prepared,
Sach was
already upon him. Lifting his leg, if he was to hit him, he would need to move his leg faster,
and with
that, more strength was added into the snap. The last thing, due to the way Sach ran forward,
he had his
body bent slightly downward and instead, the kick was meant to be sent to the thigh, which
had hit the
side of his body.
‘The kick was stronger than I thought it would be as well.’
The crowd was cheering just moments ago, expecting to see a tough fight, or some even
expected to see
a one-sided, but not in the way they had panned out, had gone silent. The result was
unexpected, and
they weren’t quite sure what happened. They didn’t even see what Quinn had done.
Very few people had seen Quinn move his leg, but what they could see was Sach being held
up by Peter,
holding him by his armpits like a child who refused to go to bed. His legs weren’t standing
firm but were
being dragged on the floor.
“This can’t be real! Did General Sach just get beat with one hit!” Innu shouted, not being
able to hold in
his shock.
“It looks to be that way, and it seems we have underestimated him,” Samantha added. “From
now on, I
think it might be best that we leave him alone. If this wasn’t an official match and we got on
the wrong
side of him, we could very well end up….” She didn’t continue, but she was shaking inside.
From everything she had seen General Hardy do, she just couldn’t make sense of who he was
from the
Cursed faction. How could someone so strong, with so many connections, be kept secret
from the
world.
At one point, she had made a guess as to who exactly this person was. One of her main
guesses was
Quinn Talen, the leader of the Cursed faction, a person could change their appearance or
find a way to if
they wanted, but there were many reasons why she thought it couldn’t be him.
Quinn Tallen was a person who had the unique shadow ability, something not seen by
others, a
mysteriously strong ability, but she had seen Hardy use some form of mind control on that
day, and now
had also seen him use feats of strength beyond human capability without beast gear.
One of these things had to have been an ability, so it couldn’t have been Quinn. The fact that
the Cursed
faction had someone this strong on their side was a frightening thing and Samantha was
starting to
understand why Oscar wanted them so badly on their side.
A few seconds later, Sach was seen moving about.
“What happened?” Sach said.
“Wakey wakey sleepy head, you were just knocked out for a few seconds, that’s all,” Peter
replied.
Quickly getting away from Peter, Sach noticed a piece of his chest piece had fallen on the
floor, and
when he looked to his side, he could see that it had cracked all the way up. He looked at
Quinn’s legs
which seemed fine, and could only see the gauntlets on his hands.
What had surprised Quinn and Peter was how Sach was walking. He didn’t seem hurt or in
pain and was
walking towards Quinn like he was fine.
“Stop, I know you are okay Sach, but it was clear that you were knocked out, and Hardy
chose not to
attack you further,” Oscar announced from a special area that was in a glass box shape
designed for him
in the stadium. “I’m afraid even if you can continue to fight on, I have to give the win to the
Cursed
house.”
Hearing those words, the crowd from the Cursed house section broke their silence as they
cheered with
joy. They didn’t quite understand what was happening but were just pleased that their
House, who they
never expected to win, was able to pull the victory. The left side of the stadium was rumbling
and
shaking with excitement while the others sulked, still confused at just what was going on.
Usually, an attack using half of Quinn’s strength would break some bones. If something was
strong
enough to destroy emperor tier beast amour, Sach should at least be hurting with each
breath he took,
but he walked over completely fine.
He stopped about two meters away from Quinn and smiled.
“It seems the two of us got off on the wrong foot. I just want to apologise for what I did.”
Sach said, still
having the biggest grin in the world.
Based on his scary looking appearance, Quinn found it a little creepy, and with the sudden
change in
attitude, it felt like he was talking to a different person.
“You know, I always knew you were holding back. I just never knew by how much, it’s why I
never chose
to fight you, but I guess now I know. I’m glad I picked the right person.” Sach walked up to
Quinn and
placed his hand on his shoulder.
Quinn could tell there were no longer any intentions for him to hurt him, so he let it be.
“I hope you can make my dream come true,” Sach said, walking off to his side, leaving Quinn
standing
there in the centre of the arena.
‘Why do those words sound so familiar?’ Quinn thought when it had finally hit him.
Those words about making someone’s dreams come true were spoken by the martial arts
god.
‘Wait! That person is the martial arts god, the green-haired split tongue dude? That can’t be
possible!’
Quinn thought, as his mind was blown away. ‘But their personality, from when we first met,
and the
person in the game. They’re like two different people. Even his movements just then.’
‘Do you remember what I said to Quinn?’ Said Vincent. ‘About how it seemed like the man
was
roleplaying. In the game, he probably chose to act a certain way, and when people respected
him for
that, he kept that act and image up. It is the character he has chosen to be.’
There were a few things the others didn’t know about Sach, but he was actually recruited
from a
recommendation from sergeant Chun after playing with him in the game. Only Oscar knew
his skills with
the Muay Baron, but he also was able to fight in several different styles, and he had done so
in the past
against others.
He never chose to display his Muay Baron skills against others. When asked why his answer
to Oscar was
he didn’t want to kill anyone by accident. It was a martial art meant for killing. Of course,
there were
some moves that could be used, such as the thigh kick that Quinn had performed, but
moves like that
could be part of any martial art.
Another fact was he had also been discovered by Logan, who had checked the game logs.
When he
found out Quinn was training with the martial arts god, he found that it was linked to
someone in the
military base but didn’t know who.
Now that Quinn had found this out, and how he managed to beat his gaming teacher in the
arena with
one hit, he wondered what rank he would be in the game if he allowed himself to use his full
strength.
“Innu, I won’t be taking part in your schemes anymore. Everything that happened to us that
day was
deserved by us.” Sach said as he went ahead and joined Samantha.
Innu couldn’t understand what was happening. It was as if Sach had been hit by some
enlightenment
when he had been kicked.
‘So what if he’s strong, so what if he has money? There have to be ways to get at him.’ Innu
thought.
“I must now call to the end of the event and thank Hardy for a spectacular ending. The
winner of today’s
event is the Cursed house!” Oscar shouted and looked at Quinn as he had headed back to all
the others.
‘Quinn, you managed to do that without any beast gear on? How many secrets are you
hiding? If we
want to win this war against the Dalki, we are going to need your help. ”
My Vampire System Chapter 999: Hypocrite
There was a brief moment when Quinn returned to his students, where he could celebrate
the victory
with them. Walking through the glass door, unlike the others who were stunned and didn’t
know what
to say, his beast class immediately gave him a cheer seeing their teacher.
“Hardy, you were always so coy about your strength, why didn’t you tell us how strong you
were?”
“Yeah, you just went on with that lame speech at the opening ceremony. You could have just
kicked a
rock and smashed it to pieces or something.”
“So what’s your ability, or is that all to do with beast gear?”
For the military, these students had an odd relationship with their teacher. They felt like
they could
freely speak to him, cheer him on and ask personal questions without getting in trouble. If
this was
another head general, or a person with high power, none of them would have openly spoken
to him like
so; but Quinn made their relationship like this.
“Everyone, remember what I said, if there are any problems, you can always talk to me or any
of the
Cursed house generals about it.” Said Quinn. “I hope you all realise that the Cursed faction is
a great
place to be, and if you want to join it after your training. I will happily accept you all with
open arms.”
Saying these words, Quinn thought that Sam would be proud of him. It was the perfect
opportunity
while everyone was caught up in the moment, to advertise the Cursed faction to them and it
seemed to
work, as the response was great. The kids shouted ‘Of course!’ and ‘I want to see Wevil
again.’
It wasn’t just his efforts that made these kids want to join the Cursed faction, but those of
the Cursed
family as well.
“The event is over, and it has been a long and tiring day, so all of you get some rest.” Quinn
said.
Returning to the dorms, the students couldn’t stop talking about three fights in particular.
Swin who
skilfully took on two people at once. Shiro’s fight, a person who had no ability beating Zhen,
but at the
same time people thought he had lost, and finally Head General Hardy, whose identity was
still a
mystery to all.
However, with good rumors, soon bad ones spread about him as well.
“If he was so strong and had that much power, where was he during the Dalki war?”
“I think it might have something to do with his ability, perhaps he learnt of it only after the
war.”
“Then what about the Civil war? He could have stopped or saved a lot of people’s lives then.”
“Remember he is part of the Cursed faction, and their leader doesn’t exactly do the best of
things. Do
you remember the beasts he would unleash upon shelters and force the people to join his
group?”
Despite all the negative rumors going around, there were those students whose minds
couldn’t be
changed, because they knew the Cursed faction first hand. Quinn’s homeroom class and
also those who
took Quinn’s beast class.
Later that day, as the sun was starting to set and the black sky would soon be upon them.
Quinn had
received a call to head to a certain place.
‘I was expecting this to happen, but so quickly?’ Quinn thought, as he headed over to the
main
centrepiece building and headed to the top floor.
Entering the room, Quinn was in the large office and could see a female with a green outfit
and glasses
on her head. Wherever she would be in the school, Oscar would be next to her.
“Quinn, you put on quite the show, I was honestly surprised you accepted at first and I
thought you
were going to reveal your identity to everyone there.” Oscar said.
“Of course I could have declined, but I think you know what you were doing by asking me to
fight.”
Quinn replied with a smile back.
The atmosphere between the two was quite light, even if Oscar was scheming or trying to
get Quinn to
do things, it just didn’t seem out of ill intent which was why it never made Quinn angry like
it would do
with other things.
“You’ve grown stronger Quinn, stronger than the last time I saw you. To be able to beat a
head general
with no beast gear on and pure strength. Then to have one of your students, who had no
ability, able to
beat one of our best students. I know all the equipment was basic tier and they shouldn’t
have that
much effect.
“Quinn, I’m not forcing you to tell me what you did, what it is or how you did it. These are
your secrets
to keep. Just like how originals hide their abilities and don’t share it with the rest of the
world. I’m not
going to force you, not that I could anyway.” Oscar jokingly chuckled.
“However, I will say this. Our scouting teams have monitored that the Dalki are starting to
make unusual
movements, now this could just be a false alarm like the times before it, but I have a feeling
this time it
isn’t. We are running out of time. If war breaks out, these students will have no choice but to
fight.
Don’t you think they all deserve an equal chance to live?” Oscar said.
Quinn expected something like this to happen, the good news was Oscar wasn’t trying to
force him, but
in a way he was emotionally blackmailing him.
“Did the military care about everyone when there were those who were weak and useless in
our fight
against the Dalki? Why is caring about everyone such a big concern now? I’m not saying I
won’t do what
you say.” Quinn said as he turned around and walked out the door. “But Oscar, even you are
being a
hypocrite.”
When Quinn left the room, Oscar let out a big sigh.
“Well that meeting went better than I thought, what do you think Jane?”
Pushing up her glasses, Jane answered.
“Of course, there is some truth to his words, but people’s views change based on the
situation, and
circumstances. When the war broke out, there was no time to focus on the weaker ones, and
soon after
the war, the system naturally fell into place. I don’t believe this is what you’re doing.
“To control the whole human race as a single person is an impossible task, I think even as he
rises he is
learning of the struggle. Not everyone thinks the same way, and one person’s definition of
right, is not
the same as another.” Jane answered.
———
While Quinn was enjoying his life as a teacher, there were others in the Cursed faction that
were not
quite in the same boat. On planet Tryneve; currently Leo, Erin, Layla and Nate were walking
through a
busy street filled with people.
It was one of the more modern planets that they visited. Well developed with skyscraper
buildings, and
spaceships flying in and out of the planet, could be seen in the air above them. Even the
ground they
were walking on was made out of metal, while the sides were covered with greenery that was
clearly
put there just to give the place some colour.
Planet Tryneve was a trading planet, the most popular trading planet due to its location. It
was a planet
that wasn’t owned by the military or one of the big four powers of the past. This was due to
the many
rich corporations that would choose to make their base of operations there.
Each of them had hired their own mercenary group to protect their companies. Making it
well guarded.
At the same time, due to its location being in the middle of all the beast planets, the place
was also used
by all factions. So it was in their interest to not cause any trouble.
“Pure has to do trade just like everyone else, so they have quite the base of operations here.”
Layla
explained. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they take a cut, or are even protecting some of the big
merchants
in exchange for things, but here is where we might be able to find out the most information.
After all,
whatever they get here, they have to send it back to the base somehow.”
“They are here.” Leo said. “I can sense strong Qi users all around us.”
My Vampire System Chapter 1000: Familiar name
Those from the Cursed faction had been roaming the trading planet for a while now. The
three young
ones, Erin, Nate and Layla, were treating it as a nice little break. It was good to not worry
about things
and just enjoy looking at the shops and everything else the street was filled with.
After all, Quinn had stated that if they found out anything, they should contact him first
before acting,
which is why they weren’t so uptight and worried.
Layla, who had learnt a lot about the planet when she was at Pure, explained to them what
she knew
and why Pure had even chosen to establish such a place. The atmosphere was still relatively
light until
Leo had mentioned that he could sense Qi users in the area.
Ever since learning the second stage of Qi, and now after figuring out the third stage, while
using his
ability, he could sense others around him to a finer degree and from a greater distance.
“Qi users, doesn’t that mean that they are in the higher rankings of Pure?” Erin asked. “How
many of
them are there?”
“At the moment, I can sense two people, and they are about to head into that grand hall over
there,”
Leo explained.
The four of them were standing on a busy shopping street, and at the very end of the street
was a large
building. A hall that many people were entering and leaving, but those that were entering
seemed to be
dressed somewhat differently compared to the rest of the public.
“The auction house?” Layla said, wondering what members of Pure would be doing heading
into there.
“Doesn’t it make sense? It might not be their base, but maybe they want to buy some
expensive beast
crystals or something else.” Nate commented. “And we don’t really know if they are high
ranking users
in Pure. Don’t you remember they said that they would eventually be teaching all their
members Qi?”
“What you say is correct, but I assure you, these aren’t weak members of Pure. Not unless
they have
managed to learn this Level of Qi quickly.” Leo said, noting that it wasn’t impossible as one
student of
his had learnt it at an extremely fast rate.
Leo started to walk forward and head into the auction house while the two girls decided to
follow.
“Wait!” Nate called out. “What are you guys doing? Don’t you remember what Quinn said
about how
we should notify him if something happens?”
Layla and Erin both looked at Leo for answers as they had decided to just follow his
decisions while they
were with him.
“I promise I will notify him if the matter turns into a big one, but these two won’t be any
trouble,” Leo
said as they continued to walk forward and try to enter the auction house.
At first, the four of them were stopped just outside the entrance by two guards. All of their
weapons
and armour were being kept in Nate’s shadow space as to not make them suspicious and
seem like they
went a threat. Still, the reason they were stopped at the gate wasn’t for a reason like that.
Instead, it
was because they didn’t exactly recognise them as their kind of clientele based on what they
were
wearing.
“Not just anybody can come into the auction house. The public can get an advanced booking
if needed.”
The guard said, who was wearing decent beast gear on his body but no weapon, making
them appear to
be elemental users.
“Don’t worry,” Leo replied. “We are here from the Cursed faction, hoping to buy a few
things.”
The two guards looked at each other and were unsure about what to do. The Cursed faction
was one of
the great powers. However, people tried to claim they were from all sorts of groups just to get
in. The
problem was the Cursed faction was relatively new, and no one knew of their identities well.
Especially
of the higher-ranking members.
Knowing this, the guards would ask them to come back at another time, when they had
proof or at least
could confirm their identity. However, just as they were about to speak, they had received a
message.
“Let them in.” A voice spoke into their ears. A second after, they had no trouble and were let
in.
The place was filled with expensive things, the floor and walls made of marble, a material
that was
harder to come by these days and chandeliers. The whole city smelt like money, but this
place was a
little over the top. Following the Qi users, eventually, they were placed in the auction house.
There were
several seats and many people wearing strange masks to hide their identity.
“Maybe we should have put ours on as well,” Nate commented, and when he turned to look
at the
others, he could see they all already had their masks on, and he was the only one who hadn’t
put on his
yet.
“What the hell? You guys don’t tell me anything!” Nate complained.
The group was on a higher level, looking down at the stage. They were in the standing area
since all of
the seats had already been filled, but the good news was that the Qi users who they assumed
were from
Pure, were also standing.
The auction had begun with an announcer coming onto the stage, and items were called out
one by one.
Beast crystals and beast weapons were the most common items being bidded on, and they
were of
quite a high level as well.
The next set of popular items were ability books and skill books. Seeing all of this and how
much money
was being thrown around, the young kids felt it was quite a sad sight to see.
Books that should be available to everyone and anyone were being hoarded and not shared
by these
rich people. Once obtaining one of these books, they could make as many copies as they
wished, or
none causing the price to rise or keeping the power.
“So much money is being spent here. There are too many zeros that I don’t even know what
number
that is.” Nate said, looking at the screen above that would show the number as the bidding
increased.
“Whoever owns this place must be getting quite the profit then,” Erin said.
The two men from Pure didn’t bid on a single thing, and it looked like they were
communicating with
someone on the other end as each item came up. However, whatever they were looking for
never did
appear, and when the auction ended, the two men left as well.
Leaving the auction house, they followed the two men, hoping to find out where they were
going. They
walked through the shopping district they had come from and saw them enter a few shops
before
coming out again.
“So, what’s the plan?” Nate asked. ‘We can’t just keep following them like this. This is getting
us
nowhere.” He complained.
Still, they continued to follow the two men and moved closer and closer as they tailed them.
Which was
just making Nate more nervous that they would be found out. He couldn’t understand what
Leo was
planning on doing.
In the end, the men left the main busy district and started to head out to the more quiet
areas. Finally,
they could be seen walking into a jungle area that took them away from the city,
‘This is it. This must be a pure hideout. It makes sense for it to be all the way here.’ Nate
thought.
When the group followed them into the jungle, they could see the two men had turned
around and held
weapons in their hands. One with two scimitars, while the other and a large silver chain in
his hand.
“Why are you guys following us? Do you know who we are?” One of them said.
“You thought we didn’t know? That’s why we brought you out here.”
“I knew we would get found out, we were following right behind them for so long, and we
didn’t even
try to not make it look obvious!” Nate complained. “What kind of plan was this?”
“What are you talking about?” Erin looked at Nate. “This is the plan all along. Out of their
own will, they
have taken us to a quiet place, where we can ask all the questions we want. “
“Of course, we know who you are,” Leo answered. “Otherwise, why would we be following
you? Now
I’m just going to ask you some questions.” Leo said, and for the first time, his eyes were
glowing red.
The men took a step back as Leo’s eyes looked devilish, being mostly white with a circle red
ring glowing
around it.
Just as it looked like the two groups were about to clash, the sound of clapping could be
heard off in the
distance.
“Excellent, I see you certainly do have a certain style. However, while you guys were
concentrating on
following them, it seems like you didn’t realise that you were being followed.” A voice said.
The direction of where it was coming from was hard to tell, and Leo hearing this, decided to
expand the
range of his ability. Even he couldn’t; sense the person, but when he did, he could see who it
was, and it
confused him even more.
‘What are they doing here?’
The next second before the men could react, both of their heavy bodies fell to the ground,
and now
standing in front of them was a strange man in a butler suit.
‘Did he just knock those two people out, but they were high ranking members of Pure?’
Layla thought,
trying to figure out who this person was.
Erin’s eyes started to glow yellow as she looked at the man, and Nate had an odd sense of
familiarity like
he had seen him somewhere before, but that wasn’t quite right.
“Let me introduce myself.” The man said, bowing down. “The names Brock.”
