Out from Quinn’s dark shadow, Quinn could sense something was behind him, but he was barely able to lift his head to look at the three figures standing by his side. His health was low, and he had been badly hurt. But seeing how Vadeen suddenly backed up like that, made him want to see what was happening.
Using the last bit of strength he had, he lifted his head and could see the faces of people he never expected to see. "Leo...Erin and...and.." As for the last person, Quinn had no clue who he was, but he could tell he was strong.
Both Leo and Erin were dressed in a sort of green armour, it was made using the beasts from the planet they were on. All of the equipment they were using was at the advanced level. The crystals provided were from the beasts Arthur had killed before they had even arrived. Apart form Leo’s sword that was.
As for the man in the middle, Arthur, he wore nothing but a standard set of clothing and didn’t even have his weapon on him.
Arthur looked at the punisher boy on the floor carefully, it was clear the boy had the same ability as his. However, it was someone he didn’t know. He thought that the last surviving punisher would have at least been someone he recognized.
Looking at the situation, there was only the face of a single person on the field he noticed, but he could feel their strength. He knew right now he was in the presence of the new vampire leaders, the ones chosen while he was in his slumber.
"Did you decide to go up against them on your own? It looks like you are a punisher at heart after all." Arthur said.
"Now who here decided to hurt my little punisher?" Arthur asked with a calm expression, but the aura surrounding his body was telling a completely different story.
All of the fights that were happening had now stopped from his pressure alone, and even the leaders took a step back.
"Who is this guy?" Jin said. "I know the punishers had the ability to travel to each other at any time, but I don’t recognize this person. But it’s clear...he is not one to mess with."
Due to the power, the leaders had taken a step back. As for Bryce, he had finally managed to get a good hit on the Bone Claw, and for the first time it had backed off. Due to Quinn weakening the Bone claw wasn’t in the best shape either and it started to return to Quinn’s side.
"Bonney?" Arthur said. "Is the king here, I thought that man would have given up his familiar long ago." But then, he saw the mist from the bone claw start to disappear and head towards the punisher boy on the floor.
’This boy, he was the one who freed me, and he has the kings familiar? I have a lot to learn, whatever the case is, I can not let him die.’
"Erin, it’s best if you help out your friend, if he doesn’t get any blood soon, he will die."
Erin quickly going to Quinn’s side, made a cut on her hand and started to give him the desperate blood that he needed.
At this point, Bryce had, had enough.
"What are you doing, we are the vampire council. We are the order of the vampires." The punishers no longer judge us. They have no power over us. Get rid of this guy!" Bryce shouted.
The others snapped out of their frozen state and continued to fight their counterparts.
"Guy? Bryce, you were nothing but a normal vampire back then, and now you have the balls to call me some guy?" Arthur replied.
But Bryce was a little confused, he didn’t remember seeing the person in front of him, he was sure he had never met him before. Although the punishers were mostly covered in armour that hid their appearance from others. The only one that was known to the others was the leader, and this person was not the leader they knew.
It was not the leader they had killed back then.
Quinn had now consumed enough blood, but his wounds were severe, and it would take a little time to heal. Erin was continually looking over in Layla’s direction, a lot of blood could be seen, and she didn’t seem to be moving.
"Go, I will not let this boy die," Arthur said.
And with those words, Erin quickly rushed over to Layla’s position to help her against the vampire leader Jill.
There had been a little shift in the fights that were ongoing since the appearance of the new people, and this was all being communicated by Jin. The reason, they knew that they would need more than one leader to take on the mysterious new presence that had arrived.
