Transcript
00:00:00her one of the empty bedrooms. When he finally arrived, he sat down on the floor and closed his
00:00:04eyes as he started to meditate. Aye, in his mind, he was transported to a black room where he could
00:00:09see himself standing. It was completely empty and void of nothing, but it looked as if it would
00:00:14endlessly go on. Go on then, Quinn said. Tell me. What do you want to tell me? Form is back.
00:00:19The mist started to appear, and the appearance of the bone claw was seen. During a certain part
00:00:24in Arthur's story, the bone claw had started speaking, but Quinn was unable to understand it.
00:00:28The two didn't communicate in the same language after all, but here, there maybe would be another
00:00:33way they could communicate. The bone claw started by lifting its arms up, and at the same time,
00:00:38the black room started to change. Shapes and objects. Colors began to form. The first thing he could
00:00:43see clearly was a round table being created, and sitting there, many people present. That's when
00:00:48it hit him. The bone claw was showing Quinn a scene from the past. This was the round table that Arthur
00:00:52had described in his story. The question was, why was the bone claw showing him this, or what was he
00:00:57trying to show him? Chapter 492. The real paw. I will show you the past. The deep, dark voice said
00:01:04slowly and broken. The bone claw rarely communicated to Quinn, at least not in a way he could understand.
00:01:10There were times when he couldn't understand what it was saying, and there were times when he could.
00:01:14Perhaps whatever it wanted to show Quinn, it felt like it was necessaried. A.S. the black room started
00:01:19to change into a replica image of Arthur's old castle, and the bone claw saying those words.
00:01:23It seemed like Quinn's thoughts were right. They were currently at the castle inside the meeting room
00:01:27looking at the round table. I.T. was exactly how Arthur had described it in his story.
00:01:32Thinking back, Quinn realized something. The tenth leader, or the previous king, also had the bone claw.
00:01:37Was the one Quinn had, and this one the same? Was that why it was showing him this image?
00:01:42Around twenty or so men were present. Some of them had fighting gear on while others just had robes.
00:01:47These were Arthur's trusted men, and not all of them were fighters.
00:01:50Both the bone claw and Quinn were hovering in the air above the table.
00:01:54It was as if they were in the room with them. Like he was watching a movie but was able to be
00:01:57inside and move about. Did you get the notice? One of the men asked,
00:02:01Yes. Arthur said he would be returning. It had his seal, and he told us to wait in this room.
00:02:07How he would tell us the truth about everything. Another replied,
00:02:10What if the rumors are true? What if he really is working with demons?
00:02:14That's how he was granted his power, and he has never changed an age.
00:02:181A. Sked. Does that matter? Whatever Arthur has done, he has always done it for the sake of the
00:02:24people. I'm sure if he did make some kind of deal, then the only person it would have an effect on is
00:02:28himself. I will follow him to the end. He saved our lives. All of us. If it wasn't for him, perhaps all
00:02:35our families, our lives we had now, wouldn't have even existed. The others nodded in agreement,
00:02:40and at the same time, a sudden look of horror had appeared on all of their faces. The man who stood in
00:02:45front of them was unaware of what had just appeared behind him. Out from a black portal,
00:02:50teleporting in, a large, thick, bone-like creature had appeared with deathly claws.
00:02:54A swipe was made, and blood was drawn. The knights and humans were no match for the bone claw,
00:02:59as it continued to go around the room, appearing and disappearing seconds later,
00:03:04causing damage to each and everyone. What is this? Quinn thought. Is that you? Did you do that?
00:03:09Is this when Arthur had returned to the castle? Why did you do this? Quinn shouted. The scene
00:03:14continued to play out, and eventually, all of the people in the room were hurt and damaged.
00:03:19They weren't dead but left barely alive. When the bone claw was done, another man had entered the
00:03:24room. Quinn had no reference of who this man was, but he picked each human up and activated the
00:03:29influence skill on them. As he did, he would describe the features of the attack to each one of them,
00:03:34changing the memory in their mind. Soon after, the bone claw in the memory had disappeared,
00:03:39and the scene had changed. When it changed, he could see two people walking through the forest.
00:03:44One of the people looked identical to Arthur. He was right. His appearance really did never change,
00:03:49A.S. for the other. It was quite a young-looking man, with short brown hair, handsome, and had a
00:03:54gentle, trusting face. But that's when Quinn saw it. He could see the two of them walking towards the
00:03:59castle, and for a brief second, his face had changed. The room went to pitch black in an instant once
00:04:04again, and the current bone claw was standing in front of Quinn. Did Eno order you to do that? But why?
00:04:09And why did you choose to show me? Quinn shouted. But soon after, the bone claw started to turn into
00:04:15mist, and Quinn knew he would no longer get any answers. Opening his eyes, he had broken out from
00:04:20his mediation, and he was still in the dark room. Arthur, he doesn't know the truth, I, but before
00:04:25Quinn could think about what to do, the system had replied. I don't think it's a good idea to tell him.
00:04:29The system said, I have a good idea of why the previous tenth leader did what he did. He knew Arthur was
00:04:35too kind-hearted. He would have never turned his people if he didn't have to. It was the previous
00:04:39tenth's way of making more punishers, and at the same time, it got rid of his greatest competitor
00:04:44for his goal. Doing this achieved many things, and he could also show to the other vampires his
00:04:49system with the punishers had worked. It was probably why during his time, the punishers' effect,
00:04:53tea they had on the settlement, had worked so well. Because it was fresh in their head about what
00:04:58had happened. But doesn't he deserve to know the truth? He killed the first leader. The vampire was
00:05:03innocent. Quinn replied. And does that change anything? The system replied. This is the past
00:05:08that Arthur knows. From the way he talks about the tenth in his stories, it seems he was close to this
00:05:13man. Perhaps even saw him as a good friend. I believe it might even be the reason why he is
00:05:18happy to help you know after finding out you are not a punisher because you have a relation to the
00:05:21tenth. If you tell him this, you risk running that relationship. I'm not saying to never tell him,
00:05:26but not when we don't have all the answers. If you were to tell him, it would only lead to Arthur
00:05:31asking more questions, and me, or you don't have the answers to that. There is no point ruffling up
00:05:36more feathers than we already have. You need to start being more selfish and thinking about you
00:05:40more, Quinn. The system seemed to be quite adamant on his opinion in this matter, but at the end of
00:05:44the day, he was right. The situation was still not resolved, and because of Arthur's display,
00:05:49it seemed like the king and the others were more inclined to listen. And after hearing Arthur's story,
00:05:54he was a more important figure in the vampire world than they realized. He was practically
00:05:58equal to a king, and was the reason why the vampires hadn't chosen to try to get rid of the
00:06:02human race. System. This Eno person. I'm assuming he is related to you, did you know him, or his name?
00:06:08Quinn asked that I do not, if you are thinking about what I think you are, we are not the same person.
00:06:12My reason for leaving the settlement had nothing to do with his, it was because, of, soon Quinn.
00:06:17When I know you are safe, I will tell you why I left. The system replied. But that wasn't why Quinn was
00:06:22asking. It was a long shot, but he was starting to wonder about Eno of the past.
00:06:26If he was tricky enough to trick Arthur into doing such things for his goal,
00:06:30Quindon believed he would be such a person to just give up his seat of power, like,
00:06:33so IT sounded more like he was a person who would do anything to achieve his goal.
00:06:37Did Eno really die? Or, did he have a plan to come back at some point?
00:06:40It was quite possible that Richard Eno and this Eno were the same person. The AI was an AI after all,
00:06:45and could have been programmed like so. For some reason, the Eno of the past cared for humans,
00:06:50and perhaps when he saw they were in trouble, he introduced all the vampire technology to them to try and help them.
00:06:54Then what of the Dalky? If they were like Borden, man-made, a mixture of beast and human,
00:06:59are they really aliens? Or something the vampires created? If so, who had made them and why?
00:07:04It wouldn't make sense for Eno to create the Dalky, and also help out the humans at the same time.
00:07:09All the thinking was starting to hurt Quinn's head quite a bit. The pressure seemed to be adding
00:07:13up day by day. The more information he would unlock, the more questions he had to ask,
00:07:17and the more decisions he needed to make. Before deciding anything,
00:07:20he needed to leave this vampire place with everyone alive. He had been gone quite a while,
00:07:25and if he didn't return soon to the others, they would probably think something was up.
00:07:29Arriving back in a room, Quinn could see that they were all happily talking away.
00:07:33When looking at Arthur, he could see a big smile as he talked about his past with others.
00:07:37He's a good man. Quinn thought.a person who had always thought about others even now.
00:07:41Him and Arthur weren't too different either. He had been turned by a tenth leader against his will,
00:07:46and so had Quinn, and they both had the shadow powers. If one day, Quinn could be half the man
00:07:51Arthur was, it was something he could be proud about. What took you so long? Borden asked,
00:07:56sorry, this place is so big it was hard to find a toilet. Quinn replied back as he sat down in his
00:08:00seat. Okay, I think that's enough about me, Arthur said. Now Quinn is it. You interest me greatly for
00:08:07more reasons than one. Why don't you tell me about yourself? Who are you? Are you really the tenth leader?
00:08:12Now all the eyes in the room had turned to Quinn. Chapter 493, The Calling
00:08:17It was finally time for Quinn to explain his situation. His close friends had heard the story
00:08:21before, but there were a few people who didn't know the truth behind Quinn. This included the
00:08:25likes of Silver, Fex, and Arthur. Just like Arthur, Quinn too had started from the beginning,
00:08:30explaining how he was gifted a book from his parents, and once a drop of blood from his finger
00:08:34had touched the book, he had turned into what he had become today. There was no need to explain the
00:08:39system part, or about the AI in his head. These weren't important parts. However, he did explain
00:08:44that when he had turned Peter, he felt something special inside him click, and the same thing
00:08:48happened again. As for him being the tenth leader this was found out when he had completed the blood
00:08:53ritual. The way Quinn had explained the information the system had given him along the way, was by saying
00:08:58it would just come into his head from time to time. The first time being when he had turned Peter.
00:09:02The information would enter, as if he already knew it. Then he explained the same thing happened as soon
00:09:07as he stepped into the castle. He knew for sure he was the leader, and Edward the Vampire Knight
00:09:11from the previous ten confirmed it. Wait. So you're saying you really are the tenth leader?
00:09:16Fex shouted. I thought you were just saying it to buy some time, to maybe get them off your back.
00:09:21It makes sense now why you were able to change so many people into vampires without your body being
00:09:25affected. Silver said. The fast progression, and such it was all due to you being turned into a vampire
00:09:30through some irregular method. Hearing Quinn's tale about how he had become a vampire had reminded
00:09:36Arthur of his own. He knew he felt something similar between the two, but he couldn't quite
00:09:40put his finger on it. It wasn't. Just the shadow power that connected them. It was the fact that
00:09:45Quinn had a human heart. Have you learned where the book has come from? Arthur asked. Quinn shook
00:09:50his head. He had ideas, but nothing solid. Based on what you have told me so far, it would seem like
00:09:55that book was originally created by one of the tenth's powers. It sounds like something that ability
00:09:59could do. This is why, when it turned you into a vampire, it also made you the leader. Were any of your
00:10:05parents vampires? No, Quinn replied. They weren't, and I'm 100% human before, I'm sure of that. The
00:10:11problem is, I can't even ask them now how they got the book. Although Quinn had said this, there was
00:10:16one person who could tell him, and he had promised to tell Quinn when this was over. Fex and Silver were
00:10:21in the corner pleased and smiling. It was the happiest they had seen them since they had entered
00:10:25the castle. What's with you two? Layla asked. You guys don't understand. If Quinn is really the tenth
00:10:30leader, then there is a good chance my punishment will be lessened, I finally have hope. Fex said,
00:10:35But, if Quinn was the leader all along, then why didn't he just tell them? CIA asked. You knew about
00:10:40being the leader when you turned Peter first, right? Actually, that isn't a good idea. Arthur did
00:10:45the explaining for the others here. He knew what was most likely to happen, and what the vampire
00:10:49council was like. For some reason, they aimed for the king's seat like madmen. As if when they obtained
00:10:54it, they would become some sort of god. He knew how far some of the vampires were willing to go to get
00:10:59that seat. With Arthur explaining the difficulties and the possibilities of Quinn being killed if he was to
00:11:03mention it. Quinn was happy for once he didn't have to explain, and Arthur was confirming what the
00:11:07system had to say. Now, Arthur wanted to get to the serious questions. He was happy to learn about the
00:11:12boy more, and how he got his vampire powers to be, but after learning about Quinn, he was doubtful
00:11:17whether he would know what he really wanted to find out. Can I ask about the shadow ability you
00:11:21obtained? At first, I thought you were possibly one of the newest recruits of the Punishers.
00:11:25One that was placed after I had gone into sleep. Although we had moved to a new planet,
00:11:30it. We still had a system of our own for our people, and the Punishers still acted as a type
00:11:34of police. We needed to make sure to pass on the powers generation from generation if there was
00:11:38ever the need to stop the vampires and intervene. But now, I'm pretty sure you were not, said Arthur.
00:11:44Quinn went on to explain about how he had found the shadow ability book by a complete coincidence
00:11:48on one of the vampire planets. The planets they would use for training vampires that were coming of age,
00:11:54turning into a vampire noble. There were a hundred ways for this ability book to have gotten on that
00:11:57planet, maybe a vampire in training of the past, and when the humans came, they had found the book.
00:12:02Or a human had killed a vampire who carried TH. E-book and kept it for storage when they found out
00:12:07they couldn't learn it. Although you are not a Punisher, it seems you have learned to adapt the
00:12:11shadow with your own skills quite well. I should expect at least this much from the person who freed
00:12:16me. The person who freed you? Quinn asked, as it was the second time he had heard this.
00:12:20Oh right, you do not know. I wanted to ask you as well. The underground settlement, there was a tower
00:12:24and a sword behind a glass pane. I believe it looked like this. Arthur said as he pulled the
00:12:30sword from out of his shadow. Ah. Fex said jumping from his seat. Quinn, that's the tower we went to.
00:12:36Where we fought against that king tear beast. Now Quinn was sure of it. The armor Arthur was wearing
00:12:41when he was fighting, the sword. These were all things he had seen in the tower, but I don't remember
00:12:46freeing you. Quinn said, IT seems that it might have been unintentional. Arthur replied. Before passing on,
00:12:51I handed a blood crystal with my family bloodline to my right-hand man. He was free to do what he
00:12:56wished with it, but it was mainly if he ever needed to wake me again. You're right, I do remember that
00:13:01blood crystal. So when I inserted it into that machine, that's what woke you up? Arthur nodded.
00:13:06The group went on to explain to Arthur what they had seen down there and how they had fought against
00:13:09a deadly king tear beast. After all, nearly all of them were there that day, when fighting against it.
00:13:16But hearing this, Arthur had a saddened look on his face. From the sounds of it, when you guys arrived,
00:13:20there were also no vampires present I see. It seems like the council has a lot to answer for
00:13:25what happened to my people, said Arthur. I'm sorry, we don't know much about it either,
00:13:29Silver said. All we know is that the Punishers no longer existed anymore after the Civil War.
00:13:34We didn't even know that the Punishers side had won at the time and had chosen to leave.
00:13:38They made it sound like they had already killed you in battle, let alone that you actually were
00:13:42peacefully living on another planet. Something strange was going on, and Arthur could feel it,
00:13:47as if something more was going on in the current world. Perhaps more complicated than the one he
00:13:52left. After the stories were finished being told, the group were told they were free to rest in the
00:13:56castle until the council would call them. It wasn't like they had any other choice anyway.
00:14:01There were vampires everywhere, and they knew humans were staying here as well that I asked for
00:14:05Quinn, his group, and the others. They actually thought it was a good idea if they all slept in the
00:14:09same room. Right now, they didn't really feel safe on their own, including Silver and Fex,
00:14:13even if they didn't want to admit it. As sheets and mattresses were being taken from one room
00:14:17and put into another, Quinn had to ask a question that had been burning on his mind.
00:14:21Vorden, what the hell is that little thing on your shoulder? It's been bugging me all day.
00:14:26The little figure was still lying on its belly over Vorden's should. Urgh. And it could be seen
00:14:31going up and down as it breathed in and breathed out. Using his hand, Vorden lifted his head,
00:14:36and a sleepy mini Vorden could be seen Vorden. What happened to him? Quinn asked,
00:14:40Why don't we talk about what happened to us while you were kicking that Vadin leader's arse?
00:14:43Vorden said. Vorden was still last asleep and hadn't woken up, and the group decided to share
00:14:48stories of their battles they had. This was also fun for Aaron to hear, as she hadn't seen them
00:14:52in a long time either. After everyone had finished telling them of their battles, they wanted to ask
00:14:56about Aaron and Leo and how they had even met. They also had explained what type of journey they had
00:15:00been on, how Aaron was able to escape from Pure, and how Leo had helped her.
00:15:04You killed a high-ranking number of Pure. Layla said shocked. She looked at Leo,
00:15:09and only just then she realized how strong he must have become. Her hands were shaking at the news.
00:15:14When her hands finally stopped shaking and she realized her old friend was now in front of her,
00:15:19she proceeded to give her a hug. It's good to see you again, Layla said. You too.
00:15:22Aaron replied. A.S. for CIA. She was happy to learn more about Pure. Since Aaron was treated like a new
00:15:28member, she could imagine what type of place it was. And she was kind of happy she didn't remember,
00:15:32from the way Aaron was explaining everything. After everyone was done telling their stories
00:15:37and experiences, they had fallen into a deep sleep. All apart from Leo, and Silver that was.
00:15:42The two of them had decided to play guard duty. As they stood outside the door, not saying a word
00:15:47to each other. Those kids. They're so young to be going through things like this. Leo finally said
00:15:52that I wish. I wish Vex could just enjoy his life with his friends, Silver said. And hearing these
00:15:57words, Leo smiled. Knowing he was next to a caring woman. An unknown amount of time had passed,
00:16:02and Arthur walking the hallways spotted the two of them. It's time, said Arthur. The council have
00:16:08asked to see everybody. They are to make their decision. Chapter 494. Proof of the 10th leader.
00:16:14The group had gathered up and were standing in the reception area of the castle. Even though they
00:16:18now felt confident that the outcome wouldn't be the same and Vex had a fighting chance. They
00:16:22couldn't help but feel nervous that something unexpected might occur. Especially since it seemed
00:16:27like unexpected things were happening more often than not lately. Standing at the front of the group,
00:16:31Arthur had opened a large shadow on the floor. I think it's best if you hand all your weapons over
00:16:36to me. They won't let us in that room with all this equipment on. He explained. If it's on me,
00:16:41I can use my ability to hand it over to you at any time. Giving a wink to them awed, IT was a way for
00:16:46them to still have their weapons in case of emergency, while not having them at the same time,
00:16:50following the rules. Of course, the grand judge of the vampires would best know how to bend the rules,
00:16:55Vex said. As for Quinn, he never had we. Apon's on him to start with since he could use the skill
00:17:00shadow equip exiting from the castle. Around 30 or so vampires were standing outside lined up
00:17:05opposite each other in two rows. With them was Mukha, the ninth leader. We are here to escort
00:17:10you to the king's castle, said Mukha. Everyone who was involved with the incident yesterday evening
00:17:15is to be present. After saying these words, the group was escorted along with the rest of the
00:17:20vampires standing by their side. When walking through the settlement, the vampires made sure to
00:17:24walk in synchronized form, blocking the view of the people going towards the king's castle.
00:17:29Everyone. Layla said, a little nervous. Yeah, does that mean even the people we were fighting
00:17:33against are going to be there? Vorden asked, I wouldn't worry too much. Arthur replied,
00:17:38the king will be present for this. The vampires respect the king quite greatly. Even if they don't
00:17:43agree with his ideals or such, they will still follow his orders. It's only after he disappears where
00:17:48the cracks that weren't apparent before start to appear. Finally, the group had arrived,
00:17:52and they were continued to be escorted into the large room. It was the vampire king's table.
00:17:57The 14 seats were all empty at the moment. Looks like we are here first. Arthur said as he naturally
00:18:02went towards one of the biggest chairs that was stationed on one end of the table. It was opposite
00:18:07the king's chair, and he sat down. It was as if he had done this a thousand times before. Mukha looked
00:18:12at him as if Arthur was a bit of a madman, but then he guessed that chair was always for him after
00:18:16all. Just he would have thought Arthur would have asked for permission from the king before doing
00:18:20such a thing. Did he know how long that chair was empty for? The other vampires would not react well
00:18:25to this move. The vampires that were with Mukha had gone to line up along the side. Mukha had also
00:18:30ordered those with Quinn to line up by the side as well, towards the back of the wall. Mukha explained
00:18:35to them some basic rules, that they were not allowed to speak at all unless being spoken to.
00:18:39It was strange, but Logan was happy to see that even for Leo, Silver and Fex had the same rules
00:18:44applied to them. It wasn't like the humans were being treated any differently during this meeting.
00:18:48Quinn naturally went to line up with his friends on the back wall.
00:18:51What are you doing? Arthur said. Your place is not there. He then pointed with his finger to one
00:18:56of his seats. Arthur, you can't be serious? Mukha replied. If what you have told us is true, Quinn,
00:19:02then that seat is rightfully yours. You sit there and show the rest that this is your rightful place.
00:19:07It is important to not let the vampires push you around. Hearing this, Mukha didn't say anymore.
00:19:12Because perhaps Arthur was right. Quinn, Arthur seems to be a wise man who probably knows the
00:19:17council better than they know themselves. I will tell you if he gives you bad advice or not.
00:19:21The system said. Doing so, Quinn walked over and looked at the seat. F.O. For some reason,
00:19:27it felt like a strange power was emitting from it, but it seemed no different from the others,
00:19:30and taking in a deep breath, he finally sat down. Does it feel good? Arthur said,
00:19:34but Quinn didn't reply. He didn't know if it felt good or bad. Just different. They waited patiently
00:19:39until the other leaders started to enter the room one by one. This time, they had their vampire knights
00:19:44by their side, some with knights they hadn't seen before. Ones that weren't a part of the
00:19:49battlefield. Most of the leaders who had fought looked to have made a full recovery, even Lee
00:19:53as he entered the room. Both Fex and Silver looked in Lee's direction, but he quickly looked away and
00:19:59sat in a seat. However, some of the leaders had still yet to recover, and these were the ones that
00:20:03had been hit with chi-infused attacks. Their wounds were healing, just at a slower rate. When Edward had
00:20:09entered the room, he had gone over to Quinn's side and stood by his seat, acting as if he was his vampire
00:20:14knight. You look good in that seat, Edward said with a smile, hoping to calm the boy down. He could
00:20:19see Quinn got more nervous as more leaders started to enter the room. IT was undoubtedly an awkward
00:20:24feeling for everyone. Just moments ago, people in this room were trying everything in their power
00:20:29to kill each other, and now they were to look at their enemies without saying a word. Then finally,
00:20:33Bryce, the first leader, had entered the room. He first saw that Arthur was sitting in the
00:20:38Punisher's seat, a seat that had remained empty since he had become a leader. He was happy seeing that
00:20:43seat empty and never thought he would live to see the day when it would be filled again,
00:20:46especially not with someone as strong as him. Their two eyes had met, and Arthur was sitting
00:20:51with his leg up on his thigh and his hand on his face. He was the most relaxed out of everyone
00:20:55there. Ignoring this, Bryce continued heading towards his seat, and that's when he passed Quinn
00:21:00and Edward. Huh. You are certainly brave, Bryce said. You may think it is a smart move to sit in that
00:21:05chair, trying to convince us all you really are the tenth, but if you aren't, and you sat in another
00:21:10leader seat, then I will personally cut off your head. The Punisher has no right to protect you
00:21:14from an offense as grave as this. Hearing this, Quinn gulped. He didn't feel the same as he did
00:21:19on the battlefield. When he had a goal in his head and was trying to save Fex, he forgot about
00:21:24everything. All he wanted to do at the time was to fight and save their lives, but now he no longer
00:21:29had that energy in him. He could feel the power of everyone in the room. He couldn't even imagine
00:21:34trying to fight them all now. Will we really be okay? Quinn asked the system in his head. Yes,
00:21:38do not worry. There are many ways for them to find out wherever or not. You are truly the leader of
00:21:43the tenth castle. Do you remember when the castle lit up when you entered? That's because the leaders
00:21:48have a bond they can set up with certain things. Pass them on. The castle reacting to you proved you
00:21:52have that bond, Quinn, but what the system didn't mention was there was also the chance something
00:21:56like what happened with the castle could happen as well. Maybe there would only be a slight reaction
00:22:00because Quinn wasn't ready yet, but the AI didn't want to make the boy any more nervous than he
00:22:04already was. When the leaders entered, they did so from the door that was placed behind
00:22:08Arthur's seat, but there was also a large set of double doors that were placed behind the king's
00:22:12seat. These doors never opened, unless the king himself was attending the council meeting,
00:22:16and today, those doors had opened. The two royal knights had entered the room first,
00:22:21and the king in the same calmed, relaxed robe clothing as before had entered after them.
00:22:25Immediately the leader stood up, and so did Arthur this time. All of them bowed, and Quinn,
00:22:30as well as his group, followed as they had been told to buy mocha before. But Arthur still did not
00:22:34bend. He didn't need to, and was never asked to. It was done this way, to prove that his position was
00:22:40no lower than the king's. Please sit. The king said, and the rest followed, we have gathered all
00:22:44the information that has been provided by all those from the event yesterday. We were always aware of
00:22:49what was happening, but didn't think it would turn into such a serious matter so fast, at least not one
00:22:53involving the return of the tenth leader. In all honesty, something like this should be a joyous
00:22:58occasion to be celebrated, and I am saddened by the fact that it has caused this outcome instead.
00:23:02Although we haven't yet heard from the interrupters of this event yet, so far,
00:23:06we felt like a decision couldn't be made until we found out the truth.
00:23:10The other leaders had brought up their concerns with the belief that this boy here
00:23:13is not the tenth leader. For one, he has the ability of the shadow, and not the same ability
00:23:18as Vincent the tenth before, as for the second, he is still a vampire noble. Not yet at the evolution
00:23:23stage of a vampire lord. Because of this, before we can come up with a verdict, we must determine
00:23:28whether or not the vampire boy known as Quinn is truly the tenth leader or not.
00:23:32A.S. the king finished speaking those words,
00:23:34out from behind a strange table was brought out which had a large black ball on the top.
00:23:39There were many strange contraptions and writings underneath it, as if they were going
00:23:42to perform some type of magic spell. The flames behind each seat react to the lifeline of each
00:23:47vampire. When a leader passes away, the flame diminishes. When a vampire performs a ritual
00:23:53and passes on the leadership to another, the flame is no longer linked to them, but the new vampire.
00:23:58The king then placed his hand on top of the black ball, and the flame that was a few meters behind
00:24:03his seat, and above his head started to burn brighter, and stronger than ever.
00:24:07I would like to invite the new tenth leader to prove that they are the tenth leader.
00:24:10Place your hand on the ball. If you are who you say you are, then the flame should react behind
00:24:15your seat. The ball that was on the table was then rolled over to Quinn's side where he sat.
00:24:19He got up from his seat, and he stood in front of the ball looking at it.
00:24:22His heart felt like it was going to jump out from his throat, and was beating as fast as
00:24:26a regular human heartbeat, of course. All of the vampires in the room could hear this
00:24:30as well. The sound of his heartbeat. How could a vampire, who can't even control his heart,
00:24:35be a leader? Look at him. He's so nervous. It was a lie, I knew it. These were the thoughts
00:24:40of many in the room. Now, Quinn, please place both hands on the ball. Closing his eyes, Quinn
00:24:45was too afraid to look at the results. He slowly readied himself, moving his hands towards
00:24:49the ball, feeling that the palms of his hand were sweating. Then finally both of his hands
00:24:53were placed on the ball, and there was a result. Chapter 495, The Final Verdict. Seeing how nervous
00:24:59Quinn was before touching the ball was starting to make the others feel nervous, as well watching
00:25:03by the sides. Was it possible Quinn was lying? Or was there something else worrying him about
00:25:08the whole thing? Logan thought as he could see his hand ever so slightly shaking as he was
00:25:12about to touch the ball. Then finally, both hands were placed, and the ball, and then.
00:25:16The flames above the 10th seat grew in size, and started to move about furiously, just
00:25:20like before. Seeing this, Quinn couldn't help but let out a smile, and quickly let go
00:25:25of the ball. He did this just in case like when the tower had stopped, he thought the
00:25:29flames would too to s-oh he really is the 10th leader. Then why didn't Vincent pass on
00:25:33his powers? One of the leaders asked, How and when did this happen? Did Vincent make
00:25:37an illegal and pass it on to him? The mumbling continued, and the royal knights suddenly
00:25:42let out a little bit of their energy, to remind the others just who was in the room at
00:25:45the moment, and it fell silent again. It is not our place to discuss what he did, or
00:25:50why he did it. The simple fact is that Quinn did not lie. He is the 10th leader, and he
00:25:55has returned. When planning our decision, we had two scenarios of what to do. One if you
00:26:00were the leader, and one if you were not. But there are still many problems we have
00:26:03to solve. First, yourself being a leader has changed the outcome of Fex's crime. A leader
00:26:09is allowed to create a vampire, so the white was never illegal in the first place. The 10th
00:26:13population has not reached the maximum amount, so there was no crime on this part, as for
00:26:18Quinn's actions. Two of them have claimed to have been sworn blood brothers, making
00:26:22Quinn's actions justifiable in trying to save his blood brother. I am not a fool, and understand
00:26:27that Quinn being as weak as he is, if he was to state he was a leader no one in this room
00:26:31would have believed him. The leaders remained silent, as they continued to hear the king give
00:26:35his verdict, and his reasoning for doing so. Some of them wanted to contest, and argue, but deep down
00:26:40they knew T. His was true as well. But it doesn't change the fact that Fex had lied to all the
00:26:45leaders present. Not telling them of who had created the white, and informing them of the truth.
00:26:50His punishment and abandonment of his position shall remain the same. He currently does not
00:26:54belong to the 13th family, nor will he get special privileges as a direct descendant. He will no longer
00:27:00be able to obtain the position of a leader. Hearing these words, the sadness in Lee's eyes grew.
00:27:05He had planned great things for his son, and wanted him to take his place. Now that just wasn't
00:27:09possible. M.Y. King, so are you saying there will be no punishment for the 10th leader?
00:27:14Bryce asked calmly, trying to contain his anger. I understand you have forgiven him for the attack,
00:27:18but even before that, there were reports of him killing the direct descendants. He has even brought
00:27:23humans to this establishment. You are correct. The king replied. The verdict is not yet finished,
00:27:29but there has been some new information that has been received. Clark has changed his statement from
00:27:32before, allowing it to be more accurate. Would you care to share, Clark? Clark, the vampire knight
00:27:38who had fought with Quinn on the Bat Planet at that time, stepped forward from his leader's gym side.
00:27:43The direct descendant's death, I believe, is my own fault, for not caring for them properly.
00:27:48When I arrived at the scene, I saw an unknown vampire standing there, and three dead students.
00:27:53I had at the time only assumed that he had killed them, but did not see it with my own eyes. Quinn didn't
00:27:58know why, but for some reason, Clark and Jean had decided to change their statements,
00:28:02making it more favorable for Quinn. That's crap. Bryce shouted. Of course it was him.
00:28:07The system then whispered something into Quinn's head, something that would clear the situation for
00:28:12them all. He raised his hand, and the king looked over in his direction, giving him a nod,
00:28:16allowing him to speak. If you want, I give you permission to use your influence on me as the 10th leader.
00:28:22That way, we can clear up the students' deaths. The king ran his fingers through his long hair as he
00:28:27thought about it for a while. He could see the anger on some of the other leaders. After all,
00:28:31their sons had been killed by another leader. If this were to happen, even if they were leaders,
00:28:35there would be some consequences. Honestly, the reason the current king was being quite lenient
00:28:40on Quinn was because he had some questions of his own. He wanted Quinn to be a part of the vampires,
00:28:44for before he too was close with the 10th Vincent. But he wasn't sure if Quinn's suggestion was a smart
00:28:49one, for he thought that Quinn really had killed the descendants and now he might have just been bluffing.
00:28:53But when looking into Quinn's eyes, he could see a glint of confidence. Very well. The king stared
00:28:58directly at Quinn, and his eyes shined bright red. This time, Quinn wasn't able to even resist at all.
00:29:04He had been taken over in an instant. Is this the power of a king? Did y'all? You Quinn Talon,
00:29:10kill three of the direct descendants? The king asked a simple and direct question. The influence skill
00:29:15always worked best when it was used this way. The others, seeing he was under their control, Quinn answered
00:29:19there, and then that I did not. The influence was broken, and with that, the answer for them was satisfied.
00:29:24The king, not wanting to go onward with this matter anymore, had decided to continue.
00:29:28How did you know that would work? Quinn asked. Because, Quinn, you didn't kill them. It was the bone claw.
00:29:33The influence skill can only say nothing but the truth. The system replied. A.S.E. said,
00:29:38there are still more matters, and the decision shall be left up to Quinn, the 10th leader. Concerning the humans
00:29:43he had brought with him, they are not allowed to know of the settlement. Therefore, we have chosen
00:29:48to give him a few options. First, the humans are to be killed. Hearing the first options,
00:29:53those on the side nearly dropped to their knees. Hearing such an influential figure talk about their
00:29:57death so easily, it was quite the shock. Second, their memories are to be removed of all of this
00:30:02place and events of ever happening before being returned. And thirdly, they are to be turned into
00:30:07vampires to be put under the tents control. Hearing this, the others felt a little better,
00:30:11but Logan and Vorden were not happy about the options given. To lose their memories or be turned.
00:30:16They didn't like the sound of either of those things happening. Before I make the final announcement,
00:30:20is there anything the others would like to bring up? There were many points Bryce wanted to bring up,
00:30:24and the same with Mooka. After all, his vampire knights were killed, but he still had found nothing
00:30:30solid at all. But the decisions had already been made, and the current king was much about unity.
00:30:35He would want to try to bring everyone together as quickly as possible. They knew of this because they had
00:30:39already discussed many different matters before this one in the last meeting without Quinn.
00:30:43Many vampire knights needed to be replaced, as well as a new leader to be found. A ritual would have to
00:30:48be made since the leader had died before choosing a successor. Something like the death of a leader
00:30:52hadn't happened in a long time. Then, Arthur was the one who raised his hand. While everyone is here,
00:30:58I thought it would be best to ask my own question. What happened to the punishers when I went into my slumber?
00:31:02When I woke up, no one was there. When saying this, his playful tone wasn't there like usual,
00:31:08and his shadow was seen slightly flickering above his shoulders. I thought he would ask something
00:31:12like this. The king replied, The truth is, Arthur, we don't know what happened to your people either.
00:31:17You know I was always on the punishers' side when the events of the last civil war happened.
00:31:21I actually wanted the punishers' system back, and I was even going to ask you if you wished to have
00:31:25your position you once had again. The sudden look on some of the vampires' faces dropped when the king
00:31:30had suggested this. Because of this, I regularly had someone check on your establishment from time
00:31:35to time, and then one day there was no one. They had all gone. I'm afraid I have no clue what
00:31:40happened that day. Arthur carefully scanned his eyes around the room. There were a lot of frightened
00:31:44faces on some of the leaders' faces. More so than they should have been. I.T. looks like some of them
00:31:49know more of what's going on in the king. Arthur thought as, Oh, what do you say, Arthur? Do you wish
00:31:54to return to the position you once held? The king asked, If Arthur was to stay at the 14th castle,
00:31:59then maybe there was a chance he could find out the truth and do some investigating. But when
00:32:03thinking about this, the image of the human shelter he had looked after appeared in his head,
00:32:08including images of ruby, was he going to leave those people? I must decline your offer. I believe
00:32:12you have done well so far. Arthur said, I believe as long as the correct king is elected then,
00:32:17you will do fine without me. Although I will be happy if you still treated me as an important guest
00:32:21from time to time. Of course. The king replied. The king then stood up from his seat, signaling the meeting
00:32:27was about to end as he said his last words. Then, before I end this meeting, I have one last thing
00:32:32to say. Quinn Talon is now the 10th leader. With this, he shall be treated as such and has become
00:32:38part of the council. He shall perform his duties as a leader just like everybody else here, and his
00:32:42first task will be deciding what to do with the humans he has brought with him. The meeting is now
00:32:47over. As soon as the king left the room, all of the other leaders left as well, not even looking at
00:32:52Quinn. While all of his friends remained at the side, this is what I was afraid of Quinn. The system
00:32:58said. Now they know you are the 10th leader. You are to remain here forever. If you choose to leave
00:33:03without their permission, you'll be treated as a criminal. Chapter 496. The new 10th family. Leaving
00:33:09from the king's castle, the group walked off towards the 10th castle. It now rightfully belonged to Quinn,
00:33:14so there would be no one stopping. Leading the group was Edward. Arthur had also decided to come along
00:33:19with them as an escort until they had at least reached the castle door. It was just in case if
00:33:24there were any unexpected occurrences along the way to AS for Silver and Fex. They had broken off
00:33:28from the group to head back to the 13th castle. They both needed and wanted to have a serious
00:33:33conversation with their father. Everything had felt so strange since the incident with Fex,
00:33:37and as a family together, they needed to decide on the next step of what to do. Another thing that had
00:33:42crossed the thought of the group was why the mention of the Dalky attacking hadn't come up in the
00:33:45meeting. Edward had explained that the vampires had tried to look for the Dalky everywhere.
00:33:49But could find no sign of him. Unaware that it was actually this strange little thing on Borden's
00:33:54shoulder. What worked in tea? Air favor. Was Edward actually didn't know that the Dalky was part of
00:33:59Quinn's group. He had assumed that the Dalky had come randomly during the fight, and was a separate
00:34:04problem altogether. So when they asked him about it, he never tried vouching for it either. Even when
00:34:08they had used the influence guild to ask who was part of their plan, he did not know. So that discussion
00:34:13was dealt as a separate problem to the rest. While walking to the castle, Quinn was busy racking his
00:34:18mind with what to do next, I have to stay here. But I can't. Quinn thought. Rather than can't,
00:34:23it was more like Quinn didn't want to stay here. He looked at the others that were behind him,
00:34:27Vorden, Peter, and Logan as such. Maybe before he had met them, he could just change his life as such,
00:34:32but to suddenly live in a new place like this and to be a leader at IT just wasn't something
00:34:36Quinn wanted to do. What Quinn wanted was to just be free, and being under the vampires or under the
00:34:40humans, he didn't feel free. The other problem was not just him, but the others were also meant to
00:34:45return to school soon. There was only a little over a week before the second year would start.
00:34:49As he was deep in thought, Logan came over to his side. Don't worry too much, Logan said. If
00:34:54anything, our memories can be wiped. It's not a big deal. I could always just make a video log of
00:34:59some sort and hide it. Just watch it back later. It won't feel the same, but I will still have the
00:35:04same information either way. The main problem is you, Quinn. When they spoke, there was no option for
00:35:09you to leave this place. Logan said. Logan didn't say it, but he thought of a couple more things that
00:35:14perhaps could get them out of the woods as well. One of them was pretending to be vampires again,
00:35:19using the potion. The vampires hadn't found out how they were able to disguise themselves.
00:35:23If they just needed to prove they were vampires for a short amount of time, this could work,
00:35:27but the problem was, if they were turned into vampires or they thought they were vampires,
00:35:31then they would have to stay, just like Quinn. And honestly, both Logan and Vorden didn't want that.
00:35:35Finally, they had arrived in front of the 10th castle. The news hadn't been publicly announced as of
00:35:40yet about the new 10th leader, and they had explained to Edward that it was his duty to inform
00:35:44his people of this as well. However, when he looked at Quinn, he thought it would be best to
00:35:48leave it a while before they made such an announcement. Quinn didn't exactly look like
00:35:51the most menacing or strongest of vampires. All right, I guess my journey ends here, Arthur said.
00:35:56What are you going to do now? Aaron asked. Will you be returning to the shelter?
00:36:00Is there even a way you can return to the shelter? Don't worry about that, I have my ways.
00:36:05Besides, unlike you guys, I am free to leave and do as I wish. It's not like they can exactly stop me,
00:36:11can they? Arthur started to laugh, and it certainly was true after seeing his strength.
00:36:16But I think I will stay for short. While before leaving, there may be some clues in the castle,
00:36:20or around here, as to what exactly happened to my people. Arthur then walked over to Quinn and
00:36:25looked at him up and down. You are a strong one, and if you weren't the 10th leader, I would have
00:36:29asked you to come join me as a punisher. You have the correct morals and traits to become a perfect
00:36:34punisher. When you're done with what you need to do at the castle, then come over to see me.
00:36:37Perhaps there are a few things I can teach you about the shadow. And with that, Arthur hopped
00:36:42into his dark shadow, and he was gone before Quinn could even give an answer. Learning about the shadow
00:36:47from the strongest shadow user was certainly an offer he could not refuse. Growing his strength
00:36:52was at quite a high priority at the moment. If he was to stay in the vampire settlement,
00:36:56and Arthur was to leave soon, there would soon be others that would be targeting him. Entering the
00:37:00castle, everyone had gone to choose a room to rest for a little bit. They also wanted to take a shower,
00:37:05and such, and also change their clothes if need be. It was certainly tiring for all of them,
00:37:09and very stressful too. They were then later to meet in the dining room,
00:37:13to discuss what needed to be done. Quinn with Edward had decided to head there first,
00:37:17and while doing so, Quinn was busy trying to think of what to do. But in the end,
00:37:21he realized it wasn't his decision to make. Just like Logan had said, they had three options,
00:37:26and they were to choose from them. Whatever they would choose, Quinn would respect their decision.
00:37:30Quinn, I think it is important if we take efforts in completing the quest given by the system.
00:37:34The AI mentioned, if we can get you up to the rank of the vampire lord,
00:37:38then there will be no worries. There were two parts to the quest. One of them was to level up to level
00:37:4240, which Quinn was a long way off this one, and it didn't look like he could really do anything to
00:37:47speed up this process. AS for the second part, it was to bring over 10 people to his cursed family,
00:37:52and also select two vampires as vampire knights. Looking at Edward, he tried to wonder if he could make
00:37:57Edward his own vampire knight. He used to be one of the previous 10th leaders anyway, and he was
00:38:01strong. But as he looked at Edward, and tried to activate such an option, nothing would come up,
00:38:06no matter how hard he tried. Am I missing something, or is it because he was Vincent's vampire knight
00:38:12before? The first two to come back and enter the dining room were Aaron and Leo. The two of them had
00:38:16grown closer during their time training together, and Quinn was pretty happy to see them both safe.
00:38:21Leo was already considered a vampire, so there was no problem with him. But Quinn did feel bad.
00:38:25He knew that Leo's goal was going to try to find his master. If he was to stay in the vampire
00:38:30settlement, he would not be able to do such a thing. That's not necessarily true. The system
00:38:34replied. Do you remember when Silver was sent out, and how she had come to visit you? Leaders have
00:38:40more control than you think. Although leaders are to remain in the settlement, they are able to assign
00:38:44vampires on doing certain tasks and such without permission from others. The rules are there, so that
00:38:50vampires have to be careful when doing such things. Hearing about this, maybe Vorden and Logan would be
00:38:55more open to the idea of turning into vampires. Still, it felt wrong to him, and he would inform
00:39:01this to them before telling them. Then Quinn's eyes had gone to Aaron. Before, she had expressed to him
00:39:06that she wanted to turn into a vampire as well. The main reason why she wanted to before was so
00:39:10she could learn a new ability for the one she had lost to True Dream, although you can't turn Edward
00:39:14into a vampire knight according to the system. I'm sure if you were to select Edward as a vampire knight,
00:39:19the council would still accept this as well. The question was, would the system accept that as
00:39:24part of completing his quest? There were a few times when Quinn thought he could cheat the system
00:39:28in a certain way, but it would always adapt, as if it was able to tell what Quinn was thinking.
00:39:32It surely was an impressive thing. Whoever had created it had designed it well. When the two got
00:39:36close, Quinn was about to ask Aaron the question. He just wanted to get it over and done with,
00:39:41and as Aaron was one of the humans in question, she would need to select from one of the three options
00:39:45anyway. Seeing the two, Quinn naturally used his inspect skill on them both. He did this to
00:39:50gradually increase his inspect level, as well as wondering if it would show him some new details
00:39:54on both of them. That's when a certain option had appeared under Leo where his stats showed.
00:39:58Evolution possible. Please select whether you would like to turn them into a vampire knight.
00:40:02Although, he couldn't turn Edward into one. The system had just given him the option to turn
00:40:06Leo into one. Chapter 497. The first vampire knight. A vampire knight. An evolution that was not
00:40:13available to Quinn, for he only had the option to go evolve into a vampire lord. The reason for this
00:40:18was because a vampire knight's position was something that could only be given by a vampire
00:40:22leader in the first place, the way the system explained it, rather than an evolution it was
00:40:26seen more, as a title. However, a powerful title that still did physically change the vampire structure.
00:40:32It was a title that could only be given to vampire nobles, and it was best to give it to a strong one.
00:40:37For the family members would see them as just below a vampire leader. Looking at Leo, Quinn honestly
00:40:42couldn't think of a better vampire to make his knight. He was stronger than all of them before
00:40:46he had even become a vampire, and he couldn't imagine what his strength was now. The one thing
00:40:51that did surprise Quinn was Leo was a vampire noble already. Something that took Quinn months,
00:40:56Leo had managed to obtain in a short amount of time. That's because Leo was already at the peak
00:41:00of a vampire when you turned him. The system explained, but a vampire is not able to be above its creator.
00:41:07If I was to take a guess, he had evolved as soon as you did. This was why Quinn,
00:41:11even though he wasn't a vampire lord, he was technically a vampire leader, so he could apply
00:41:15the position onto Leo. Did I feel like you have something to tell me? Leo said, even if he couldn't
00:41:20see Quinn looking at him, he could sense he was thinking about something. People's auras reacted
00:41:25to their thoughts and feelings. The aura was even more honest than a face. Quinn decided to explain
00:41:30to Leo what he wanted to do, how he wanted to make Leo his knight, and what that meant in the grand
00:41:34scheme of things. Of course, I will. Leo replied quite quickly. For him, there weren't many downsides.
00:41:40He would turn into a stronger evolution than he was currently. On top of that, he would have the
00:41:45privilege to leave the settlement as long as Quinn ordered him to. He was a vampire already, so it
00:41:49wasn't like saying no was actually going to change anything. Are you sure? Edward asked.
00:41:54A vampire knight's duties, although you can send them off on a task if you do so. Then you'll be in
00:41:59charge of everything that happens to the 10th family. Usually their knights deal with most of
00:42:03the work. Edward, in all honesty, I wanted to ask you to become my knight as well, Quinn said.
00:42:08You helped me out greatly, and you are loyal. If you could continue your duties and act as knight,
00:42:13show me the ropes of how things go around here. That would really help me. Of course,
00:42:17just like with Leo. Edward didn't hesitate to accept IT would be an honor. Temporary knight. Edward.
00:42:23The system notification appeared again, and now Edward's status had changed from former 10th
00:42:28knight to temporary 10th knight. Looking at Quinn's quest, it had not increased. It looked like the
00:42:33system wanted him to create his own family directly after all. Maybe once I complete the quest, and the
00:42:38system accepts me as a leader. It will classify as all the people at the 10th as under me, but for now,
00:42:43the old Eno family and the cursed family seem to be treated as two different things. Quinn thought,
00:42:49and he was starting to think about something else as well. The flame, the castle, was it really reacting
00:42:54to him. Ignoring this for now, Quinn started the knighting process. It was a little different from
00:42:59the turning process where a human needed to consume Quinn's blood. Although Leo had turned differently,
00:43:04that was the standard way to do a ritual for the vampire knight part. Leo was to take off his shirt,
00:43:08and Quinn was to draw something on his back. Oh, you already know how to do this, it looks like.
00:43:13Edward commented. Of course, Quinn didn't. He was just following the system's command. Using his own
00:43:18blood, Quinn drew a circle on Leo's back. After he connected lines towards the center in a particular
00:43:23pattern, when the system said he was done. He was to place his hand on Leo's back. The knighting
00:43:28ritual has been activated. Would you like to turn this person into a vampire knight? Yes. No. After
00:43:33selecting yes, a strange. Energy was felt rushing through Quinn's hand and was being transferred
00:43:38into Leo's body. It was similar to before but different, and this time, Leo didn't try to fight
00:43:43back the changes and allowed it to alter his body like so. The circle on the back started to light up,
00:43:47and all of the points and the edge of the circle that was drawn with blood started to shift and
00:43:51move towards Quinn's hand. Eventually, it went underneath. A few moments later,
00:43:56and the strange energy was no longer felt between the two. When Quinn moved his hand,
00:44:00the circle he had drawn and all the blood that had gone towards his hand had disappeared.
00:44:05As if it was never there in the first place. Congratulations, you have made your first
00:44:09vampire knight. One half. New skill acquired. Call. Call. A skill that can only be used with your vampire
00:44:15knights. This skill allows you to call a knight by your side, no matter where they are. It will forcefully
00:44:21bring them to your location. Can only be used once a day. With the successful notification screen,
00:44:26a few more things had come up that Quinn wasn't expecting, and the first of them was a new skill.
00:44:31Call sounded a lot like what Arthur was able to do. How the punishers were able to go to each
00:44:35other using their shadows. But in this case, Quinn could only call over the knight to his side.
00:44:40It would definitely be handy in tough situations, and it didn't seem like it could be used the other
00:44:44way around. If Leo was in trouble, he was not able to call Quinn. I asked this something all
00:44:48the leaders have? Quinn asked, NO. The system replied, I believe this is a skill given to you
00:44:54by the system itself. A skill like this would have been able to save many vampire leaders in the past.
00:44:59Passive skill. Vampire knight's buff. When a vampire knight is fighting alongside its leader,
00:45:04all stats and skills will be increased by 10%. Knight's command. A vampire knight is able to form a squad of
00:45:1110 vampires under himself. For those under the knight's command, all skills and stats will be
00:45:16increased by 10%. The notifications didn't stop there, and there seemed to be some advantages
00:45:20that Leo would be able to make use of. Not just Quinn. When Leo had finally turned around,
00:45:24Quinn was shocked to see who he was looking at. The evolution didn't just change his powers,
00:45:28but his looks as well. When Quinn first met him, he looked like an old man. Later, he looked slightly
00:45:34younger, and now he looked like a middle-aged man again. Quinn, I can't thank you enough for this
00:45:38opportunity. I feel like I am in my prime once again. Leo said, but as he clenched his fist,
00:45:44he shook his head. No, I am even better than I once was. Aaron had been standing by the side,
00:45:50and had seen all the changes Leo had gone through, as it was happening. When they were training on the
00:45:54planet with both Arthur and Leo, she could see the extra strength that they had. She wanted it too.
00:45:59Right now she could only see the plus sides and none of the negatives, she would be able to learn an
00:46:03ability again, and her body wow. LDB improved as such. Finally, when she was strong enough,
00:46:08she would shove her sword right up True Dream's backside for putting her through all of this.
00:46:12Aaron didn't need to think about the three options. She had already decided. As Aaron was about to
00:46:17step forward and talk to Quinn, the doors to the dining area opened again, and stepping in was both
00:46:21CIA and Layla. Leo, do you look different? Layla said, oh, do you mind getting me a mirror? Maybe I can
00:46:27take a look? He replied, for a second Layla was about to go look for one, before quickly realizing,
00:46:32he had made another joke at his own expense. Quinn, we've been thinking a lot. Or I've been
00:46:36thinking a lot about it. CIA said. Remember what we talked about before? Well, out of the options we
00:46:42have. I don't want to lose my memories again. I can't even think about doing that, forgetting
00:46:46everything that happened, forgetting all of you. I still want you to keep your end of the deal,
00:46:51about trying to find a way to get my memories back, but if you can, I want you to turn me into a
00:46:55vampire. At that moment, Aaron decided to put her foot down as well. Quinn, you promised me before,
00:47:01as well remember. If I asked you, you said you would do it, and I want you to turn me as well,
00:47:05this situation. Quinn never imagined. When he had first turned Peter, it was because
00:47:09he had to, and Leo was an accident. But all three of the girls in the room had asked to be changed.
00:47:14Are you sure? Quinn replied. Logan said, he might have a way for us to get out of this,
00:47:19without having to turn you. Quinn, I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for myself. Aaron replied,
00:47:25and when he turned to look at CIA, she nodded. Okay. Quinn replied, the two girls walked to the
00:47:30front, with Layla standing in the middle, and it was time for Quinn to turn both of them.
00:47:34The question was, what would they become? Chapter 498. Unexpected Problems.
00:47:40Before Quinn would start the ritual, he made sure to talk with Edward about it first.
00:47:44Quinn had become more experienced now with turning people, and the last three times
00:47:48weren't exactly the best they could have been. There was always the risk that one could turn into
00:47:52something difficult. But with Edward here, he did feel a lot more confident. What better place
00:47:57would there be to turn someone than in the 10th castle, the vampire world where they could get
00:48:01all the things they needed? Quinn even had Edward one of the most experienced vampire knights by his
00:48:05eye. S.O. Edward had decided to gather a few things, just in case things were to go wrong. However,
00:48:11there was a look of concern on his face when he saw that Edward had come back with a strange crossbow.
00:48:15It looked to have been modified to fit in special bolts and was powered by the blue crystals he would
00:48:19often see. What's that for? Quinn didn't really want to ask, but he knew he had to. As you may
00:48:24know, there are some evolutions that are less favorable than others. Edward replied, I would
00:48:29hate for these beautiful girls to turn into something unfavorable, but we must prepare for tea. He
00:48:34worst. A clicking sound was heard as the crossbow was sprung back and loaded with a black looking bolt
00:48:40inside. But the two girls still didn't seem to be backing down and were ready to be changed. Quinn prepared
00:48:45them both and was ready to start the ritual one after another. It was best to do it this way,
00:48:49just in case there was a problem with one of them, maybe even both. He had cut his hand and activated
00:48:54the system part, ready to turn the two of them, closing their eyes. They lifted their heads and
00:48:59opened their mouths. As Quinn walked past both of them, he realized he had grown a bit in height since
00:49:04he had first met Aaron. The evolution really did change his body. The first one to start the process
00:49:09was Aaron. The blood dripped down her throat and the burning sensation feeling over her body was felt.
00:49:14She started to grab at her chest and knelt down, as her insides felt like they were burning.
00:49:18Control the pain. Leo shouted, You have gone through worse things than this. This is nothing
00:49:24compared to the torment you were put through. This is just physical pain. Concentrate your mind just
00:49:28like you do, when focusing your chi, and it will help. She did as her teacher had told her, and she
00:49:34started to focus her mind. It allowed her to suppress the pain a little, but it was far worse than she had
00:49:39imagined. Seeing Aaron's face in pain like that was something Quinn didn't want to see. However,
00:49:44after a few moments, the pain had died down, her skin had become fairer, and as she lifted her
00:49:49head and stood from the ground, there was a big change that Quinn couldn't help but notice.
00:49:54That was her hair, before Aaron, was considered a blonde-haired beauty, but now her beauty was the
00:49:58same as before, but her hair color had changed to a dark brown, and as for her blue eyes, they now
00:50:03had a tint of orange in them, a halfling, Edward said. Sometimes a normal vampire for once from these
00:50:09things isn't such a bad thing. But, seeing the hair color change, Quinn wasn't so convinced Aaron
00:50:13was just a halfling. His or the other's hair color hadn't changed. The system message that soon came
00:50:18up had confirmed it as well. Congratulations, the blood ritual was a success. Four out of ten cursed
00:50:23family members. You have created a damper. It was something Quinn had seen mentioned a couple of times,
00:50:27when the system was explaining but didn't really know what one was. Still, he could tell why Edward had
00:50:32mistaken her for a halfling, an evolution before a regular vampire. Because, even standing this close
00:50:38to her, she felt no different from a vampire. The smell, the aura, everything was the same that was
00:50:44emitting from her body. With Peter and Layla, there was a difference that if Quinn remembered correctly,
00:50:48a damper was one of the ones that belonged to Categorier. They were able to go through the same
00:50:52evolution change that he went to, but would gain certain special skills attached to them. Inspect,
00:50:57damper, a hyper-creature which is a mixture of a vampire and a human. It's hard to determine
00:51:02whether they are more, vampire or more human. They have all the strengths of a vampire, super
00:51:08strength, super speed, faster regeneration, yet at the same time are able to withstand sunlight.
00:51:14It is said that some are able to adapt to the situations they are in, if they are with vampires,
00:51:18they will imitate and appear to be one of them. If they are with humans, their form shall revert back
00:51:23to what it once was. Reading all of this, the A.I. too could see what Aaron had become,
00:51:28he too thought she was only a halfling until he saw the message. Quinn, don't tell the other
00:51:32vampires or Edward what she really is. The A.I. said, why? Quinn asked, because there is another
00:51:39name we use for the damper. We call them vampire hunters. The A.I. replied, and it would seem what
00:51:45the system said had some truth for it, as Quinn continued to read the description and abilities
00:51:49of the damper. When fighting against vampires, a damper's stats will increase. The damper-based
00:51:54stats are determined by its creators to start with, but then must get stronger on their own.
00:51:59Quinn started to wonder if he decided to reveal what Aaron was. Would Edward try to use the crossbow
00:52:03on her? But this didn't seem like a bad result for Quinn. If anything, it was good. Aaron wouldn't have
00:52:08to shy away from the sun and had gotten stronger as she wished. Immediately after being turned,
00:52:13she had drawn her blade and gave a single swing in the air. The sound was so sharp,
00:52:17the moment was so fast. She had paused as soon as her sword was about to hit the ground.
00:52:22It's perfect. Putting her sword away, she walked back over to where Leo and Layla were standing by
00:52:26the side. One was out of the way, and finally, it was time to turn CIA standing in front of her.
00:52:31She now looked nervous, not as confident as before. Perhaps because she had seen how much pain Aaron
00:52:37was in, and CIA didn't know how to use cheese, so it would be far worse for her. But she closed her
00:52:41eyes and opened her mouth waiting for the blood. Here goes. Quinn said, as the blood dripped into her
00:52:46mouth. The same feeling as Aaron started all over CIA's body, but her body was far weaker,
00:52:51and instead of going down to her knees, she had collapsed down on the floor and was scrunching
00:52:55up in and out screaming in pain. The screaming continued and continued, and it sounded like
00:53:00she was going to rip her voice out. IT wasn't this bad when I did it, right? Layla said,
00:53:05worried at just how hard CIA was screaming. She would continue to scream, and every so often stopped
00:53:10to cough, and when she did, a few specks of blood from her throat could be seen with it.
00:53:14Come on CIA! I know you can do it! Layla shouted. Seeing how much pain she was in,
00:53:20Leo decided to come forward. He placed his hands on top of her and started to concentrate,
00:53:24putting a tiny amount of his own chi inside her. It was the same thing he had once done to Quinn.
00:53:29The reason for him doing this was so he could control her pain a bit more. Maybe he could use the chi
00:53:34inside her body to calm her down. Holding on to her tightly, it seemed to be worky. And slightly.
00:53:40She wasn't moving about as much, but the screams continued. What is going on here? Vorden said as
00:53:45he entered through the doors into the dining room. Behind him was Peter and Logan. They had rushed
00:53:50over once they heard the screaming thinking that maybe something was wronged. AT that moment,
00:53:54the evolution had stopped, and at the same time, the screaming did too. Leo could feel he had done
00:53:59all he could and let go of her, moving back in place to the others. The three boys who had entered
00:54:03had moved along to the front to see what was happening. AT that moment, CIA suddenly stood
00:54:08on her two feet. Her short hair but long fringe was covering her face, and they were unable to
00:54:12see her eyes. That's when a sound was heard. CIA gripped both of her fists, and at the top of
00:54:17her lungs, let out an almighty scream. A scream so loud the others thought their eardrums were going
00:54:22to burst, and they were sure anyone who was in the castle would have been able to hear it. The scream
00:54:26wasn't a short little burst like before, and instead, it was one large one. The ones being affected
00:54:32most by this were the ones with sensitive hearing, the vampires and the subclasses.
00:54:37They all could hardly move and had gathered hands placed over their ears. A.S. for Edward. He had
00:54:41the crossbow in his hand, with the bolt already loaded, and before Quinn knew it, he had already
00:54:46pulled the trigger firing off the bolt towards CIA. Chapter 499. Back to the Star. The bolt had already
00:54:52left Edward's crossbow, and most in the room had been paralyzed by the intense scream. For once,
00:54:57it seemed like the vampire-sensitive ears were working against them. But even though Vorden and
00:55:02Logan were close, they had been stunned by the scream as well. Although not hurting them as much,
00:55:06it was still causing pain, and a slight dribble of blood could be seen from their ears.
00:55:10The bolt came out fast, and when they saw it, it wasn't a regular crossbow. Powered by the crystals,
00:55:15it came out at a speed that was meant to be used against vampires. Gritting his teeth and bearing
00:55:20through the pain, Quinn leapt forward hoping to stop the bolt. He had already hurt CIA more than once in this
00:55:25whole trip, and finally, she had come up with a solution that was quite fair. He didn't want her
00:55:29to die here. Not just that, but a feeling inside him was urging him to try and protect her. Flash
00:55:34stepping forward, he moved closer, but fell to his knees from the screams. His eardrums had popped,
00:55:39and the pain was great. At that moment, the bolt had hit her, and the screaming had stopped. CIA? CIA? CIA?
00:55:46Layla was screaming, but the sound to Quinn was muffled, as if they were being shouted through walls.
00:55:51His eardrums were already being repaired, but it was hard for him to make out some things.
00:55:55When he turned his head around to the side, he could see Layla and Erin over her. CIA collapsed
00:56:00on the floor. That screaming finally stopped. What the hell was that? Peter said,
00:56:04Why, Edward, did you really need to do that? Quinn asked that IT was best for all of.
00:56:09Us, Edward said. If she had continued like that, we would all be on the floor hurling in pain for hours,
00:56:15and even she would have possibly damaged herself from the screaming. That's when Quinn had done a rain
00:56:20check on Edward's words. Damaged herself, but hadn't Edward just killed her? Going over to CIA's body,
00:56:26he could now see that the bolt had landed in her stomach. The wound was bleeding, and although CIA
00:56:30was passed out, she wasn't dead. Just give her some of your blood, and she will be okay. Edward said,
00:56:36pulling out the arrow and giving some of his blood. She certainly healed, but CIA still seemed to be fast
00:56:41asleep, drained from the evolution. What happened to her? It wasn't the same as my own evolution? Erin asked.
00:56:46Did something go wrong to cause her to scream like that? Before Edward had answered, Quinn had used
00:56:51his inspect skill to get his own answer. Banshee. Banshees are known as the harbingers of death.
00:56:56When one of them comes into this world, including themselves, they let out an almighty scream to
00:57:00announce it, but this is not the only time they will do so. The reason for their name is because
00:57:05they are able to tell when one of their family members has died. They too announce this with a scream
00:57:10or a cry. Banshees often are able to predict death in their family and see a distorted future.
00:57:15The method this comes to them is different for each one. For some, it can be whispers,
00:57:19some visions, and other ways. Just because a Banshee has seen such a sign doesn't mean it will
00:57:23happen, as the future can always be changed. It is just one of the possibilities they are seeing a
00:57:28Banshee. Edward said, Most families have one as they are quite good at predicting the death in their
00:57:33own families. It helps them make certain decisions sometimes. Though due to her scream, I'm sure the
00:57:38others will know that another has come into this world by now. The two girls decided to take CIA out and
00:57:43rest with her in another room until she was okay. After that, Layla and the two girls would try to
00:57:48figure out the new bodies they had been given, seeing what differences they had. Quinn had offered
00:57:52to help and guide them with the system's knowledge, but Layla insisted it was not needed. She was sure
00:57:57he would be busy with other things, and Layla had learned a lot about the different vampire types
00:58:01while in school. On top of this, there was a library even in the castle that they could use.
00:58:05She didn't want to get in the way. After that was done, all the boys decided to sit back at the table.
00:58:10The three that had entered couldn't help but notice Leo's change. They knew something had happened,
00:58:14but decided not to say anything, as, Oh, have you decided what to do yet? Or come up with a plan?
00:58:19Quinn asked, Not yet, Logan replied, Me and Vorden are pretty sure we want to keep our powers,
00:58:24Quinn. For both of us, it's not really an option for us to lose. So what we are stuck on is either
00:58:30to pretend that we have been turned into vampires and stay here, or lose our memories and head back.
00:58:34The news sat in. Dee Quinn a bit. Because he didn't want them to lose their abilities,
00:58:39at the same time though, he couldn't imagine not being with them. Don't look so down, Quinn.
00:58:44Vorden said, We still have some time until school starts again, so we don't have to make an immediate
00:58:48decision. You're the leader of this place, right? So as long as we don't leave this planet before
00:58:52we decide one of those things, then there won't be any trouble, right? They turned to Edward for
00:58:56confirmation, and he seemed to agree. There is something we wanted to bring up with you though, Quinn,
00:59:01Quinn, Logan said, as he turned to Vorden. At that moment, Vorden reached down from below and placed
00:59:07something on the table. For a second, Edward looked at the thing on the table confused, but as
00:59:11for Quinn, he knew what it was, Brother is always so gentle with me, but he has to remember I still
00:59:16have a strong body. Vorden said he was the same size as a puppy but looked just like another human
00:59:21moving well. Vorden had finally woken up. He was wearing clothing that had been specially made by
00:59:26Logan. So, he still looked at the part. Did I s-he permanently like this then? Quinn asked,
00:59:31For now. I've done a few tests with some of the things here, and doesn't seem like he will get
00:59:35any worse or better for that matter, but this does seem to be permanent if nothing is done.
00:59:39Logan replied, Thank you for helping us in the fight, Vorden, Quinn said.
00:59:43You really helped us save both of them and the lives of all the others.
00:59:46Vorden started to blush as he was being praised and was rubbing the back of his head.
00:59:50My brother's friends are friends of mine. I was glad I could help. When Vorden turned around,
00:59:55though, he could sense that a certain set of eyes were being darted into his back,
00:59:59and those were the eyes of Leo. The others couldn't see it, but Leo could sense it.
01:00:03The little puppy-sized figure on the table had the aura of the Dalkey.
01:00:06Leo, it's hard to explain, but it's on our side. Quinn said, I know.
01:00:11Leo replied, with his arms still folded. If I didn't, it would have been sliced to pieces by now.
01:00:16What did he say? Vorden shouted angrily, but it was hard to take such a small figure seriously.
01:00:22But in its anger, it had stomped on the table, and a loud bang was heard. Like a gunshot had gone off.
01:00:28The table had cracked, and it wasn't just a regular table, but one crafted from the black material.
01:00:33Oh, I forgot to mention. Vorden still seems to have his monstrous strength as well, said Logan.
01:00:39Quinn, the reason I brought him out, though, is because I wanted to ask you something.
01:00:42I think we need to head back to that lab where this all started.
01:00:46Before you go crazy on me, there are a few reasons.
01:00:48I'm pretty sure I was the one created by Vorden by accident. I've already gone through this with the
01:00:53two of them, so don't worry. With the green liquid from that robot, we were trying to make something
01:00:57that would also power Vorden. If the red pills worked, then I thought I would be able to create
01:01:01something that would help out in this fight. Using the tense machinery, I gave it a lot of
01:01:05information regarding Vorden, and I found out that all of this information was being sent out to a
01:01:09different place. My guess from what Vorden has told us and from my research, it's the same place. Or, at least in the
01:01:15same area. I don't have all the answers, but if we want to save Vorden and return him back to what he
01:01:20once was, or at least find out what is going on, I think we will find our answers there.
01:01:25Logan explained. I don't know what you guys are talking about, but it seems to be an important
01:01:29matter, Edward said. The only problem is, the others will be looking at you closely at the moment, Quinn.
01:01:34I think it's best if you stay in the castle for now. Quinn wasn't just going to ignore Edward's advice.
01:01:38The problem was, Quinn thought it was important to find out what was happening at that lab.
01:01:42The system said he had no clue, but clearly, he was involved, or maybe not him, but someone
01:01:47released to the tenth family. And the lab wasn't exactly the safest of places slash you stay here,
01:01:51Quinn, Leo said. I will go with the two boys to the lab. Make sure they are safe. You can trust me.
01:01:57Chapter 500 To the Tenth's Tombs
01:02:00With Leo heading off with the boys, Quinn was confident that any troubles they ran into,
01:02:04he would be able to deal with them. Even more so, if he was to go with them himself.
01:02:08Even if the vampires were against Quinn and his tenth leader family, Edward said it would be crazy for
01:02:13them to try something so soon right after the king made his verdict. So the boys were relatively safe
01:02:17from the others. However, what Edward was unsure about was Leo himself. He didn't understand why
01:02:23the second Leo had said he would go with them. Quinn was calm about the fact that they would be going
01:02:27to a dangerous place. From the descriptions and stories he had heard, a place full of Wendigos,
01:02:32and perhaps even more. If Quinn had asked him to go with the boys, then he would have done so as well.
01:02:37But instead Quinn said he wanted him here to help him with his other duties.
01:02:40The group headed down to the reception area as they made their preparations for the little trip.
01:02:44Edward had also said he had invited someone along to guide them through the forest
01:02:48and back from the mountain. When they had arrived, they were pleasantly surprised to see
01:02:52a small little boy waiting for them. Hey everyone! He said waving and smiling.
01:02:56The boy who was there was Timmy. He had helped them out more than once during this whole thing.
01:03:00While they were busy talking away and catching up on things, Edward continued to glance at Leo.
01:03:04What he had planned was to do a little test. His hand started to turn to mist, and he was about
01:03:09to give Leo a little surprise, I won't hit you too hard. Edward thought, but then, as soon as Edward
01:03:15had made the intention to attack, before he had even started to move, Leo had turned and looked
01:03:19towards Edward's direction. He could see his hand hovering over the hilt of his blade and his fingers
01:03:24tapping them up and down, a little smile appear. Ed on Leo's face before tuning away again,
01:03:29I asked that person really blind? Edward thought. Somehow, someway, he knew that Edward was about
01:03:34to attack. Now Edward realized why Quinn had so much trust in him and chose to make him his vampire
01:03:40knight. With him protecting the kids, they really had nothing to worry about. All right, we are off.
01:03:45Logan said, Quinn, keep the mask on you, if we need anything we'll be contacting you on that.
01:03:50Leo, Timmy, Borden, Borden and Logan had set off on their own journey and Quinn could only hope
01:03:55they would be safe and find the answers they were looking for. As for Peter, he was placed in the
01:04:00same situation as Quinn. Since he was a criminal up until recently, they thought it was best if
01:04:04Peter stayed by Quinn's side for the most of it. When the doors had opened to let the group out,
01:04:08though, there was a little surprise waiting for them. A certain individual with his black hair
01:04:12pulled back, stood at the door. He had his hand hovering in the air as if he was just about to
01:04:16knock. The group said hi to the boy before quickly heading off and allowing him to enter the
01:04:21castle. Fex, you look better than the last time I saw you. Quinn said, Yeah, I guess my hands aren't
01:04:27chained up this time. You look good too, Fex replied, before waiting a few moments and then
01:04:30giving Quinn a big old hug. He squeezed him as tight as he could. Thank you, man. I really mean it. You
01:04:37don't understand how much it means. Even though Fex had accepted his death before, when he'd been saved,
01:04:42he truly realized how much he didn't actually want to die. He still had so much he wanted to do,
01:04:47and he wanted to create more memories with everyone. After placing Quinn down, the two of
01:04:51them got to talking again. Before Fex had claimed the real reason, he was here. So I ended up talking
01:04:56with my father and sister, and it looks like there's nothing I can do about going back to the
01:05:0013th family. I could join as a regular vampire, but then it would be awkward. Someone who used to be
01:05:05a direct descendant working for his own real family, which is why I have decided to come to you.
01:05:10Fex said, placing his hand on Quinn's shoulder. Being in the vampire pool has its perks and one of them is,
01:05:15I can go in between any family I wish, and Quinn, I want to join your family. I want to be with
01:05:20everyone here. Now I don't want any high position or have to be a close member as such, and of course
01:05:25I have my own restrictions for my family. They have said if I join another family, I am not allowed to
01:05:30teach anyone our ability. But I hope me and you can keep doing things together. IT didn't take long
01:05:34for Quinn to answer. Of course you can, you idiot. Why would I do all of this to save you and then say no
01:05:39to a request like that? Quinn still didn't know all the details of the vampire settlement and how they
01:05:44worked. He didn't know the process or if Fex was even allowed to join, which was why he had never
01:05:49popped the question. But this was another bonus on his end. However, he was a bit upset that it didn't.
01:05:54T complete part of the quest, bringing Fex into his family. Five tenths, which meant the system really
01:05:59did want him to turn ten people into vampires one way or another day as for the formalities of the
01:06:03transfer and such. That was to be done by Edward. Hearing the good news, Fex decided he would go back to
01:06:09the thirteenth castle and gather his things, ready to move in. He hadn't actually asked Quinn if he could move
01:06:13into the castle and only assumed, but Quinn didn't care for this. What would you like to do now,
01:06:17sir? Edward asked. There are still many duties to be filled. We could see how the girls are doing,
01:06:23inform the people of what is happening, or even get to know the people and plan for the future.
01:06:27The more Quinn thought about that, the more he was realizing that Edward was planning for his stay
01:06:31to be permanent. Something Quinn still wasn't ready to face. But before he did all of that,
01:06:36there was a particular person that owed him something. Something he had been waiting for a long time.
01:06:41Are you finally ready to tell me? Quinn asked. About how this book fell into my hands,
01:06:45why you left the settlement, and if you know what's going on with the Dalkey.
01:06:49I am. The system replied. And I think there is a perfect place where we can do it.
01:06:54Ask Edward to take us to the tenth's castle tombs. Tell him to go find my grave. Quinn had asked this
01:06:59very question and Vincent was confused. There certainly is a tomb which has all the previous
01:07:04leaders who have gone into eternal sleep. The problem is, Vincent had never returned to the castle.
01:07:09His body won't be in there. Do you still want to go? Edward asked.
01:07:12I.T. is a request from Vincent himself. He said if I was to return to the castle,
01:07:17that I should go to the tombs and go to the one that was made for him.
01:07:20Quinn asked. If it was an order from Vincent, then Edward would believe there was a reason
01:07:24why he had asked. The two of them were to go alone as the only people allowed in such an area
01:07:29were a vampire knight and a vampire leader. They were rule breakers, but Edward was adamant about
01:07:33not letting this rule slide. So Peter was left outside. On the ground floor, there were a set
01:07:38of doors which also contained a circle lock. Quinn noticed that this combination was even different
01:07:42to the castle one, as the door opened. Torches from both sides of the wall started to light up
01:07:47one by one, revealing a staircase going downward. How deep it went was unknown, but Quinn was unable
01:07:52to see the bottom. When they stepped in, the doors behind it closed. You have entered the
01:07:56tense castle tomb. Well, at least I know I'm in the right place. Quinn said, after a few minutes
01:08:02of walking down the stairs, he could finally see the bottom. It leveled out, and they began walking
01:08:07down a tunnel for a while until eventually they had reached a large open space. It was a single
01:08:11large room with several circle patterns on the floor. Too many to count. Are all of these things
01:08:16on the floor tombs? Quinn asked. It's designed for the future generations as well. Edward replied.
01:08:22Aye. If we ever need to expand, we just dig out some more. Considering how large the cave was and
01:08:28how long vampires lived for, it seemed like the spaces they had on the ground wouldn't be filled
01:08:32out for a long time. The two of them went to the very back, where four different round patterns
01:08:37could be seen on the floor. These were different to the rest, for they were lit up with a slight blue
01:08:41glow around the edges. The blue glow means someone's inside. They are the leaders even before you.
01:08:46Edward said, did I ask the first tenth leader here? Quinn asked, looking at the first circle on the
01:08:50ground. Yes, the first leader is here as well. The first tenth leader, the man who changed Arthur,
01:08:55and was also previously a king of the vampires. Quinn couldn't help but think about what the
01:08:59bone claw had shown him, and how perhaps that man had many secrets other than that as well.
01:09:04This one here, the chamber is prepared when a new leader takes place. You will need to make one
01:09:09yourself as well. This one is for Vincent. As you can see, it's not lit up, for his body was never found.
01:09:15Edward explained. I had hoped he would have gone into eternal slumber,
01:09:19but perhaps he had really died out there. Walking towards the first chamber, Quinn stood near it for
01:09:23a while. He looked at the patterns on top of all the circles, each of them slightly different.
01:09:28The five there were the only ones that had patterns on it. Bending down to get a closer look,
01:09:32Quinn noticed something about the first one. The first one had a pattern he recognized.
01:09:36It looked like the same marking that was on the book. As he reached out and grazed his finger upon the
01:09:41pattern, suddenly, a blue light from it started to glow. What's happening? Quinn asked,
01:09:46I have no idea. Edward replied. Suddenly, from his body, it felt like something was forced out from
01:09:51him, and in front of his eyes he could see it. A spirit-like figure, Vincent, Edward said with his
01:09:57eyes wide open.
