My Vampire System novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 The perfect counter

The black shadow started to surround all of them. It slowly encased the group until finally, the whole area around them was filled with purple shadows.

"Damn it! We’re all going to die." Layla said.

But then Erin noticed that the Dalki was also looking around in confusion at the shadows, as if it was something unknown to it. "No look, it seems like the Dalki is just as confused as we are, that’s probably why it’s not attacking us right now."

It wasn’t unusual for someone to be afraid of the unknown, and right now, the Dalki was seeing something it had never seen before. It got into a crouching position and was prepared for whatever was to come.

Its senses were telling it something was in the shadows with them, something other than the four in front of it. Then from behind a claw-like shape of red lines came flying towards the Dalki. It turned around, sensing the power in the attack it lifted both of its arms to protect itself, and it placed its arms in an X-shape right in front of its face.

The lines of power had hit it, but the attack hadn’t done much damage, just as it was about to look up, four more of the same attack came at it. It quickly held up its hands, it was strongly relying on its hard skin to block the attacks.

Although the attacks didn’t hurt the Dalki, for the first time in a long while, it had been pushed back from its position by an attack.

When it pulled its arms down, it was surprised to see what looked like another student standing in front of it. "Oh, so it was you?" It said.

It was a young Dalki who had only met a few adult humans on its journey, but not a single one had given him any trouble or manged to even make him move back with their strongest attacks, the same could be said for any beast that had attacked the Dalki. But here on this safe little planet, it had encountered a young human who had done just that.

As soon as Quinn had released his first attack, his shadow cloak had disappeared and this had revealed him to everyone, the problem was he was low on MC points. He had 90 when he first used the shadow cloak, by the time he had arrived, he only had 80 MC points left.

Then when he had cast the shadow void skill, it meant he only had 30 of his MC points left, and he needed to use them wisely.

He had also used shadow equip to put his equipment on his hands and feet.

"Is that Quinn!" Peter shouted. "What’s with this power? I don’t understand."

Then Erin spotted that Quinn’s watch, to her surprise it currently displayed the number six. "His ability requires more MC than mine, does this mean this Shadow circle his doing? Was he hiding his strength this whole time?!" She shouted.

"He must have had his reasons," Layla said. "But right now, he’s going up against an enemy I think even he can’t deal with."

Layla didn’t know what to do, at this point her arrows were useless and couldn’t even be used as a distraction, because the Dalki would just ignore them. Erin had run out of MC, and Peter was far too weak to be of any use. So right now the only one that could help them was Vorden.

"Please, help Quinn" Layla begged. "You two have to fight it together."

Vorden wasn’t the one in control, but Raten was.

’How is the little one doing?’ Raten asked.

’He is still sleeping,’ Vorden replied.

’So it looks like I’ll have to deal with this one.’ Raten said.

The Dalki then went and picked up another piece of scrap metal from the ground that was part of the Well’s machinery. Although the roof and area were covered in shadows, the same couldn’t be said for the ground.

The crumbled building and the broken metal pieces remained scattered everywhere. After picking up a piece of metal, it used its claws to once again turn the metal into a spear.

"I’m assuming I can’t get out of this bubble that you created, so I can’t run away." The Dalki said. ���Otherwise why would you waste so much of your power creating it."

Of course, the Dalki doesn’t know about Quinn’s problem with sunlight, actually the sole purpose for Quinn to block out the sun, is so he can fight at his full power. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

"Let’s see how strong you really are!" The Dalki shouted, as he chucked the spear-like object towards Quinn. It went lightning-fast and was similar to the one that required all four of the others to block before.

"No, there’s no way he can block that on his own!" Layla said. "We have to help." She shouted.

Peter stayed by Erin’s side while Vorden and Layla rushed towards Quinn, but the spear was going too fast, and they hadn’t been able to take a single step before the spear reached Quinn.

[Shadow Control]

Using his Shadow Control skill, Quinn was able to create a black circular shield.

"That won’t be strong enough," Erin said, looking up from the ground. "It took all four of us to stop it before, why doesn’t he try to dodge it?"

But for Vorden seeing Quinn’s action made something click in his head.

The spear flew going at lightning speed until the tip had touched the black circular shadow, at that moment the spear looked like it had stopped in mid-air. However, Quinn and Vorden knew that it was only moving ever so slowly through the shadow.
