134 A Sacrafice

Once the new attack, combining the shadow with the blood aura had hit the Dalki body. It had shattered and disappeared just as his normal blood swipe would usually work.

[47/65 HP]

[35/100 MC]

Combining his shadow skills with his blood skills allowed him to create a more powerful skill. Connecting the shadow to his blood swipe allowed him to also add his own strength into the attack of the blood swipe. The shadow made it possible for the attack to be flexible, moving it inward and out.

This would also add the extra force and momentum into the attack making it more powerful and the range of the attack beyond the five meters the Blood swipe usually had.

There were only two problems. MC points would still be used when using the shadow to attack, and just like when attacks hit the shadow, if not used fast enough, the Blood aura would soon escape from the shadow's grasp. The other problem was the attack would shatter on impact. Only allowing him to attack with it once.

The Dalki's blood continued to drip from his side and fall into the sand, but now the Spike on his back was pulsating faster and glowing even brighter.

Seeing the dalki injured on the outside exited Quinn, he charged forward once again.

"Come on, attack me again!" The Dalki shouted.

And Quinn did just that, this time casting a Blood swipe up in the air before grabbing it with his shadow. He then swung it from above downward right on top of the Dalki.

The attack was faster then the Dalki had predicted and just before landing on his head, he managed to lift his forearms up.

The attack was a success and had caused the Dalki to fall onto the ground. His forearms were bleeding with green blood, but ignoring this, he got up once again and charged forward.

"Is the Dalki an idiot?" Layla thought. "I had always heard they were smart. Some minds even greater than ours, but why does he just keep running forward."

At this point, even Quinn was starting to worry, his attacks were finally working, but the Dalki was acting strange. However, there was nothing he could do about it now. He went to attack once again with his shadow scythe only this time the Dalki managed to jump and avoid the blow.

"Did he get faster!"

"You seem to forget." The Dalki said, "I told you already the more hurt we are, the stronger we get." From above, the Dalki made a fist and threw it towards Quinn's face.

Quinn had no choice but to move the shadow blocking the fist attack, but then soon after a kick to his side was made and it was too fast for him to move the shadow to defend. He was thrown to the side, and his ribs were broken once again.

[3/65 HP]

[Blood bank has automatically been activated]

[53/65 Hp]

While mid-air Quinn's bones and body started to heal. Placing his hand in the sand, he tried his best to slow himself down and eventually coming to a halt.

"I can't win," Quinn said. "Even with all this power, they're still this strong."

"Snap out of it Quinn!" The system shouted. "You only became a vampire a couple of weeks ago, and you think you can take out a foe like this. You will grow in due time, but the important thing right now is to survive."

But how was he meant to survive? His blood bank had been used up, the only answer he could think of was he needed more blood. If he could get to where the others were, and he filled up his blood bank, maybe he could keep firing out his blood attacks till the thing died.

The cooldown on his boots had reset, and once again, he could use the wind walk skill. He rushed forward towards the Dalki who was coming toward him. As he did, Quinn could see the big smile on his face as if he was enjoying the fight and the horror on the faces of the others.

"I can do this!" Quinn shouted.

Running forward and not changing the direction, he went straight ahead, then just as the Dalki was prepared to attack—

"Flash step!"

He used his skill, allowing him to avoid the strike and go right past the Dalki. He continued to run forward and started heading for the others.

During the fight, Layla had long gone and joined with the other three.

"What is he doing?!" Layla thought. "Should we run, is that why he's coming towards us."

"I need Blood!" Quinn yelled. "I need more Blood."

Layla didn't ask any more questions and immediately made another cut on the palm of her hand, and Erin had already formed a bowl. Erin didn't know what was happening but whatever Layla had done last time had made him stronger.

But when they all looked up their faces had dropped entirely for the Dalki was already right behind Quinn. Not only had its strength gotten stronger but so had its speed. Everything about the Dalki had improved.

It was too late to notice, and the Dalki was already mid-attack. Quinn had never suspected the Dalki to grow so much during the battle, but it seemed like what he had said early was true.

The fist flew forward and penetrated right through their flesh, going straight through the body and out to the other side.

At that point, Quinn had finally noticed that the Dalki was right behind him. Too focused on obtaining blood, he failed to realize what had just happened.

Bright red blood could be seen dripping onto the ground and a fist through their body. But it wasn't his body that was penetrated. The person who had been hit, was Peter.

"Quinn…" Peter said weakly, coughing out blood that filled his mouth. "Please…Forgive... me." His body fell to the ground and hit the soft sand, his blood continued to soak it red.

At that moment, the only one who was brave enough to come to Quinn's side when he was needed, was Peter.
