Quinn had received multiple quests in the past, but not one like this. Whenever he would face a strong opponent or a difficult one where he felt like his life was going to be on the line, the reward was often an instant level up.
Yet, for the first time, the system clearly stated that the only thing he needed to do was survive. Just to live, nothing else.
’Is it telling me that just living after meeting these two is as hard as fighting against an emperor tier?’
It was hard for him to comprehend in his head just how hard this was going to be. Truth be told, he was actually slightly stunned by this. The system hadn’t been wrong with its assessments in the past, and he couldn’t be dying here.
"You’re Vorden’s brother and sister, right? Isn’t it enough just to know where he is, that he will be okay?" Quinn asked, thinking maybe he could talk his way out of this.
"If it was up to me, I wouldn’t even be on this island in the first place, we all stick to the rules, and we all follow one person’s orders," Vicky said. "I don’t like it, and I’m pretty sure there are a lot of people who want to leave as well. Why should he get to leave when we can’t.
"Not that it matters anyway. He hasn’t had permission to leave, so he has to stay."
The truth was, Vicky was a little upset. She had no idea that Vorden had escaped and the others had kept this a secret from her, so she was ready to let out some steam right now.
"Vorden won’t be leaving this island, and unfortunately, with you killing Duncan, you won’t be leaving either," Vicky said.
At great speed, she ran towards him, far faster than he had anticipated. He wasn’t even prepared with his shadow yet. Still, he could see everything that she was doing, throwing out a kick, Quinn threw out one of his own, and the two of them collided in mid-air, staying still for a second.
"What, Vicky’s kick is equal in power to that guy. I’ve never seen such a thing before!" Jazz said.
"No, one of them is stronger," Pai said.
A frown was visible on Vicky’s face as her leg started to back off, and eventually, she was overpowered and caught off balance. Quinn immediately then went to follow up with a punch, but she had already backed away.
The people in the village just stood there watching, and even her brother was watching as they had confidence in her.
"You are strong. No wonder you were able to beat Duncan." Vicky said.
Quinn was struggling to figure out how she had such power and speed. Her beast gear was at the emperor tier level, so she would have gotten a significant boost from that, but that wouldn’t be enough to make up for Quinn’s current stats.
He should have still been much faster than her, but luckily it appeared he still had the greater strength of the two.
"Are you one of them?" Quinn asked.
"A Blade? Of course I am." Vicky replied.
’She couldn’t be a vampire. If she was one, then the inspect skill or my sense of smell would have picked it up.’
"I apologise for going easy on you, but I’m going to have to find my brother," Vicky said. From a distance, two swirling blue objects could be seen in her hand, and as she thrusted forward with them, a jet stream of water came firing out like bullets.
The only way he could avoid it was to use a flash step, which he did for the first few. When the attack went past him, it could be seen hitting a rock and carving a clean whole into it.
He was sure it was the water ability, but he had never seen it being used with such force before.
[Blood wall 20 HP]
[80/100 HP]
Not wanting to waste his shadow in case he needed it for offence, he decided to raise a wall of blood.
"Oh, I’ve never seen that ability before!" Pai commented.
However, when the attacks hit the wall, it had gone through it completely and hit Quin directly in the chest.
[60/100 HP]
’Twenty wasn’t enough. How strong is that attack? Do I need to use more?’
The attacks continued coming at him at a fast pace as if Vicky had an unlimited supply of MC points. He had no choice but to use the shadow to block the attack. He raised the shadow in front of him.
[MC points 130/140]
[MC points 120/140]
