My Vampire System novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267 The top of the tower

Turning his head back and looking down the tunnel from where they had come from, Logan could see that the others had chosen not to follow him. His plan that he made with his quick thinking had obviously worked.

Even with Peter on his shoulder, he never slowed down. He continued to run down the tunnel until they had eventually reached an open space that had a lot of different paths and tunnels for them to choose from. It was similar to one of the areas where they just came from.

The only difference with this open space was that there weren’t any dead students littered about.

"Let go of me!" Peter shouted with his eyes now fully red, glowing in the dark. His mouth opened wide revealing his teeth which had grown sharper and larger.

Feeling the weight on his shoulder shifting about. Logan could tell that something was up and immediately threw Peter off his shoulder and slammed him onto the ground. The impact was rough as Logan didn’t manage to hold himself back.

This was because he could feel the strength of Peter and he knew that he couldn’t hold back any of his power. If the two were to get into a scuffle over strength, Logan was sure he wouldn’t win.

Lifting his head from the ground, Peter managed to get a glimpse of Logan who now had his blaster held out pointing it towards him. In return, Peter gave out a type of snarl, and deep angry growl.

"You’re still in there right, Peter?" said Logan.

Hearing his own name coming out of Logan’s mouth seemed to have calmed him down a little. But Peter suddenly started to seize, his body furiously shook as he trashed around on the floor. While doing so, the glow in his eyes seemed to have significantly dimmed.

Seeing Peter hurt himself like this. Logan couldn’t help but feel sad. It was clear that Peter didn’t enjoy this and didn’t want to eat him. Instead, he was desperately fighting that primal urge.

He was starting to wonder if he had made a mistake and should have allowed Peter to eat that girl they had first met.

Looking for some kind of a solution, Logan picked out and held out his altered hand scanner. He had made his own personal alterations to the scanner given by the school. The one he had was able to cover a wider range and it was what led him to find the underground town in the first place.

If it just worked, then he would be able to scan the tunnels and find out where the other deceased students were located. Instead of walking through blindly and playing their chances, they would at least have some benchmark as to where they should go...

But for some reason, ever since coming down underground, the scanner was useless.

"Why won’t you work!"

Logan said and Peter was now standing in front of him with his head facing down towards the ground. It was unknown whether he had recovered his sanity or if he was already taken over by his hunger and primal urge.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After Quinn and Fex realized that there was nothing the two of them could do to retrieve their items, they decided to cut their losses and leave the room. They had tried attacking the strange cylinder and even tried to dig underneath the ground.

However, the black substance that made up the whole tower was also incredibly strong, just as strong as Gatherum. It would take nearly their entire strength just to break apart small pieces of the tower and understandably, it would take them a few days to make the slightest progress.

If one day...

They discovered a way to easily break the metal cylinder or the black substance that surrounded the tower, then he could always return and grab the pieces of armour.

As they left the room, they continued to ascend the stairs upwards, and at the same time Fex, couldn’t stop apologising to Quinn, for being rash and picking up the ring which caused them to lose their chances of retrieving the other items.

He was actually unaware of how much of a good mood Quinn was in right now for receiving the ring.

He no longer would have to look strange carrying an umbrella around with him beneath the scorching sun.

Also, when fighting, he no longer needed to rely on the suit. But of course, Quinn was happy he had the suit. Now, it was being used more on when he wanted to fight using it and hiding his abilities, rather than a device to block out the sun.

Finally, after a long walk up, they had reached a platform. It was the final platform. As they also noticed the ceiling above. The ceiling also had several pieces of the blue crystals sticking from underneath.

When seeing the crystals, Quinn’s greed wanted him to take all the crystals and sell them when he got back, but it would have been difficult anyway, unless he could fly to reach and pull out the crystals. It would also waste an incredible amount of time for him.

On the final platform, was another large, arch-shaped double door like the one before. It also had no lock and all the two needed to do was push it open with their two hands.

Just like every room they had entered before, the lights started to light up one by one, revealing what the room looked like.

"I was going to tell you, but I thought you got the jist by now." Fex said seeing Quinn attempt to break the glass. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}
