My Vampire System novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242 A place of darkness

The last thing Quinn could remember was Layla shouting out his name. Then, in a blink of an eye⁠— they were swallowed whole. What came afterwards was darkness. His body was continuously being swirled around, throwing him off balance and it gave him not even a moment to balance himself nor use any of his abilities.

Everything was happening so quickly but during the whole process, he didn’t feel any pain. Then when he had finally reached the bottom, Quinn felt his body continuously sinking. It felt like he had been dropped in a watery quagmire. He tried moving his hands using all the strength he could muster but it seemed to have no effect. If anything⁠— it was making him sink quicker.

His legs were the first thing to pass through and as it did, he felt a free range of motion. They weren’t hitting or placed against anything, but they felt like he was in mid-air kicking them backwards and forwards. Still, he was unable to feel anything.

’If the plant swallowed me and now, I’m falling down, doesn’t that mean I’m falling into another part of the mountain, or underneath the planet?’ Quinn thought.

The height of his fall worried him the most. His arms had now gone through the strange substance and now only the top of his head remained. Just like with his legs his hands were able to move freely. But now, he started worrying.

If Quinn was right, then once his head fell through his whole body would be falling.

He was strong and he had a sturdy body as a vampire, but what was he falling into? Lava, spikes? Or into a pit of beasts? His abilities couldn’t possibly save him from that.

Quinn’s mind madly spun as he thought about his next course of action. He activated his shadow ability and covered his body thinly. It seemed to have worked and slowed down the sinking process.

But this was a mere stopgap. Not a solution to the problem. But of course, this stopgap should give him enough time to think.

Suddenly, a voice reverberated out of nowhere.

"What the hell is this?!" A boy yelled as his voice echoed out.

"It can’t be, is that Fex’s voice?" Quinn thought.

The space was narrow, and if Fex was coming from above it meant that there was only one place where Fex could land. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

Bang!

The force and Fex’s weight struck Quinn’s head and managed to push him through the last bit of strange substance.

As Quinn’s body floated through the air, he thought back to how the last thing he ever saw might have just been Fex’s backside knocking him down, as he fell to his death.

"That arse!" Quinn shouted.

When looking around him, even though he was in the dark, his pupils widened enough, letting in more light. He could see nearly just as well as outside. His guess seemed right and he was really falling from the ceiling.

The good news was there didn’t seem to be anything below that would do much damage, the bad news was he was falling from about twenty meters in height and the ground was coming closer to him as the seconds went by.

All he could do was brace himself for impact, as he curled up into a ball. At the same time, a shield of shadow was created in front of him. The shadow was the first part to touch the ground and Quinn followed shortly.

It had worked.

The shadow had slowed down the momentum of his fall and Quinn went inside and fused with the shadow.

"You really are useful," Quinn said as he took the shadow away but in that moment. The speed had returned, and Quinn’s body was slammed into the ground just as hard as he would have done if he hadn’t used the shadow.

In his haste, Quinn had forgotten that the shadow didn’t actually slow things down, but only slowed down the time while he was touching the shadow. Once he travelled through the shadow, or once it was taken away, the object would continue to travel at the speed it previously had before passing through the shadow or being one with it.

Covered in rubble from the walls of the cave, Quinn stood up and discovered that not a lot of damage was done to him. He felt sore in all sorts of places, but his body was sturdier than before. It also didn’t seem like any of his bones had been broken from the fall.

Just then, he could see Fex falling through the sky nearly at the exact same spot.
