Seeing the notification screen, Quinn prepared himself for the worst. There was always the chance that someone could be turned into something hostile. If Quinn was correct, he had an idea of what Linda might turn into.
There was once a similar situation in the past, one where someone was close to death, Peter. For him, he had turned into a ghoul, needing to feast on the living in order to evolve and live.
Moving on the ground, on the first inspection, she looked no different. Her body was moving fine, but Quinn could hear no heartbeat.
[You have created a basic Draugr]
[Draugr: An undead creature that possesses superhuman strength. They contain super healing abilities and have possible evolutions in the future, which will allow it to gain new abilities unique to the Draugr. Its natural nature is snappy as it has a short temper.
Its strength is on par with its creator. However, it will not scale as the creator gets stronger. All other stats are half that of the original creator. Must feast on human flesh to evolve and heal but is not necessary to consume. If never fed, it will continue to live as long as it remains uninjured.]
It was as Quinn had guessed, it was another category B subclass. But he was relieved. He had saved her, and it looked like she wouldn’t try to kill everyone on site.
Now off the ground, she placed her hand on her neck, the wound had completely healed. She looked at Quinn for a brief second, and then her other hand started to fiddle somewhere. Before the others knew it, she had grabbed her dagger and leapt towards Kazz. fгeewebnovёl.com
Fex had reacted the quickest tying his red string around her arms in an attempt to hold her back, but he soon found out even with the red string she was too strong. While she carried on moving forward, he was being dragged along the floor with her.
"Yep, just sit there and watch guys, it’s not like a little help would be appreciated," Fex said, grunting.
Still, she was slow, and Fex’s string was slowing her down. Quinn had eventually recovered enough to stand in front of her and hold her back.
"Linda, what’s wrong, are you okay?" He asked. Thinking if there was anything in the description he had missed. Why did she suddenly try to attack Kazz?
Linda screamed in anger. "Quinn, I am in your debt. I heard what you said, I know what I have become I can feel it. I can tell I’ve changed, but I can’t blame you for this. You killed the emperor tier, and then you saved my life."
Thier were no tears or sadness in her voice. Instead, it seemed like there was just pure anger pouring out of her. "But her, she tried to kill me! She slit my throat. How can I stand here when the person who hurt me is right there! How do I explain to my brother what I have become."
"Well, it’s simple." Kazz replied. "You don’t. Otherwise, I’ll do the same thing I did to you, to him."
Turning his head around, Quinn was now the one who had snapped. "Shut up!" Quinn shouted.
It was so fierce that Kazz had jumped back and raised her hands. In her head, she had imagined Quinn attacking, but there was no such thing.
’What the hell was that?’
"Calm down, Linda." Quinn siad, with his eyes, still glowing red, and a strange feeling was felt in her body. She felt compelled to listen and follow. "Good, believe me, Linda, I didn’t want any of this to happen. Not again, and I understand how you feel - I really do, let’s just take this one step at a time."
Usually, Linda would have thought about things and not acted so impulsively as she had done, but there was a strange anger inside her every time she looked at Kazz.
"Quinn, I’ll keep your secret. Not just to protect you, but to protect the people I care about as well. But that bitch better watch her back." Linda said, nice and loud so she could hear.
Looking at Sam and what just happened, Quinn himself was having second thoughts about turning him, but he had no choice.
"Kazz, we’ll do the other one back at the base." Quinn wasn’t asking, but this time he was telling her. "Linda was an emergency, Sam’s can wait."
"And if he tells anyone about this, what are you going to do then?" Kazz asked.
Quinn turned around and looked at her.
"Well, then you will just have to try to kill me for spilling the secret, won’t you."
For the first time since she had come here, Quinn had caused her to get goosebumps. This feeling of dominance one person had over another, it was only felt to her from other leaders, which Quinn never gave off before until today.
She hoped he was joking about those words, but he was dead serious.
’It looks like I might have to make an in person report soon.’
There were still a few problems they needed to sort out before they could even think about leaving the area, and one of them was on their way.
"Linda, Linda, can you hear me, please reply are you all okay?" Blip asked.
"Blip!" Linda replied. "I’m...." She paused for a second thinking of what to say, before she finally replied. "I’m okay, we’re just recovering for now."
"Hold on, we’re coming to area four, we’ll be there in about half an hour." Blip said, and the transmission ended there.
"Quinn, what am I, am I like you?" Linda asked.
