Although Edward had told Quinn to take the fight seriously and to use everything he had. There was never a worry in his mind that he would be severely hurt in this fight. There were two main reasons for this, the first being his unique ability.
As long as one didn’t know the specific way it worked, to most vampires and even beasts, they would think that he was invincible since he was able to turn his body into mist. The second being the fact that he just couldn’t sense the fear when looking at Quinn.
Perhaps it was because he could tell his evolution was only that of a vampire noble, and he knew he had recently become one as well.
Holding out his hand, Edward was the first to attack. "Blood spray." It was a move Quinn knew well, and suddenly a shotgun like spray of blood came shooting out from Edward’s hand.
"Lets see your defensive skills then." Edward said.
The shadow that was hovering over Quinn’s back immediately moved to the front, covering his entire body, and once it had blocked the attack, Quinn moved to the side.
This was training after all and was only meant for Quinn to show what he had, so he didn’t charge in or do anything like he normally would.
"Okay, try again." Edward said, this time shooting out a blood spray once, and then a second time straight after.
But it didn’t matter for Quinn if it was one or two. His shadow would be able to block it, but this thinking was exactly what Edward thought it would be.
"Blood control."
Splitting his hands apart, the blood followed as if he was using some form of telekinesis ability on his blood. Edward was able to control the flow of blood as he wished, and he had changed the direction of the attack. Instead of coming from the front, the two blood sprays now were coming from the side.
However, Quinns shadow was also able to react quick enough, and was split in two, forming two blanket-like shapes covering his sides and blocking the attack.
"Looks like your defensive skills really are impressive, I should have expected from the punisher’s power." Edward said. "Now, lets see how you attack."
Once again, just like before, the mist started to fit the entire room, covering the whole space. The others could still see Quinn in the mist but had no clue where Edward was.
’Should I use the shadow void?’ Quinn thought. ’No, it will be useless. It seems like the vampire knights know of the shadow powers and also now its weakness. Besides, more so than likely we will soon be facing multiple opponents. I can’t rely on the shadow dome.’
A movement in the mist was seen, and Quinn throughout a punch, but it hit nothing and the mist was split apart once again.
"A punch to the stomach." Edward said.
Hearing the voice from behind, Quinn turned and threw out a kick and all it did was move the mist about again.
’Where is he?’
"A kick to your back." Edward said again. "You would have been hit two times already by now, I know you would have had the shadow to protect you, but the shadow won’t last forever. Quinn, I can see you have been human for most of your life now. You are relying far too much on your human senses, sight, hearing, touch."
"As a vampire all our senses are far more heightened, than that of others and we also have new senses. When you faced Clark the vampire knight, or even went against Jin, the vampire leader. Could you not sense how dangerous they were?"
"That wasn’t in your head, that too is one of our senses, right now if you want to find where my true body is, you need to focus on that feeling."
The voice was coming from all over, and Quinn tested and turned his head, trying to find out where the voice was coming from, but it was completely useless. Edward could see he still wasn’t listening.
"Fine." From the mist, Edward went in for the attack. As soon as his fingertips were felt on the back of Quinn’s collar, Quinn decided to use the flash step directly behind him.
A hand could be seen trying to touch where he was just seconds ago, but the rest of Edwards body still couldn’t be seen.
"The flash step. What a skilful move."
The hand then suddenly disappeared, and once again fingers were felt on his collar, but Quinn wasn’t fast enough to react as he was yanked down and thrown to the floor.
"But it’s a move that all vampire knights know. Perhaps it’s impressive for those around your age, but others will simply match you with this skill, making it pointless to use and just a waist of stamina." Edward explained.
