For a moment everyone's morale was increased as for the first time, as they saw the mighty Dalki fall to the ground. They didn't care why Quinn was so powerful, or why he was hiding his secrets because they all had one thought on their mind.
I want to live.
They felt their survival instincts kick in after seeing something so powerful, but that happy feeling didn't last long. For a few seconds after the Dalki had fallen to the ground, with a single swing of his fist, the Dalki had sent Quinn flying and into the other building that was still intact.
As Quinn hit the building, his body crashed through it, and he fell to the floor.
"Is he okay?!" Peter shouted.
"Trust me, that guy can take a lot more hurt than that," Raten said. "I know, something like that won't kill him."
But as Layla looked at the sky, she realised there was something else she needed to be concerned about more. As long as Quinn had a supply of blood, he would be fine, but right now, something was holding him back from using his powers, the sun.
She now realised why Quinn had cast a shadow surrounding them all and how he was able to fight so well. But as she looked at the sun, she noticed that it was finally starting to set, the colours were fading from its bright yellow to orange. It would only be a matter of time before it would be night once again.
"We need to get to Quinn!" She shouted.
However, her cries were useless as no one moved forward, including her. She wanted to go in and help him, but stepping in now was committing suicide against such a foe.
"Now that was impressive!" The Dalki said with a smile on its face. His teeth were now on full display; they were a little strange compared to regular teeth. It looked like that of a crocodile as each tooth was sharp and overlaid one another.
"I had heard there were something called martial arts the earthlings used. I didn't believe it would be useful until just now. You actually managed to bypass my hard skin and hurt me from the inside."
As the Dalki began to walk over to where Quinn was something strange was happening on its back. The single spike on its back started to pulsate and glow slightly blue in colour. "Did you know, the more a Dalki gets hurt, the stronger they get!"
The others could tell the words spoken were not a bluff as they could feel strange energy coming off its body every time the spike on its back would light up again.
But as the Dalki took another step forward, he felt something akin to a force that was pulling him back and slowing him down. His movements felt incredibly sluggish.
'Is it coming from the kid from earlier? But that's impossible he hasn't moved yet.' The Dalki thought.
"Crazy boy!" Layla said, looking at Vorden with his two hands out.
"What is this ugly dinosaur trying to do." Inside the black room, both Vorden and Raten were no longer in the seat, but now it was Sil. "Are you trying to take Quinn away from me?"
The Dalki then turned its head slowly using its strength and saw Vorden standing there. "The boy from earlier, but how did he get so strong. He wasn't like this before. You earthlings are nothing like we were told and you're just students."
The whole thing was filling the crazy battle Dalki with happiness.
The others were amazed at how powerful Vorden's telekinesis power was right now. But that was because he was using all the MC cells from his other abilities and had it all focused inside the telekinesis ability.
At that moment Quinn had just lifted himself off the ground. He was so badly hurt he had no choice but to use his Blood bank.
[100 Millimetres of blood used]
[50 Hp has been restored]
[63/65]
[Blood bank is now empty]
As soon as the blood was consumed, his body started to heal almost instantly. Much faster than when he allowed it to heal on its own accord, but there was a problem. The ceiling had collapsed on the building he was in, and the sun was hitting him right now, causing his movements to be extremely sluggish.
"Vorden, how long do you think you can hold him?" Layla asked.
But Sil didn't reply. His own name wasn't being used, and he didn't talk to strangers much in the first place. However, as powerful as Sil was, he was unable to stop the Dalki's movements. It continued to use its strength to power through and was now walking towards them.
At that moment she saw Quinn lifting himself off the ground and the sun continuing to set behind them.
'Even if it turns to night, how is Quinn going to able to fight such a thing? It's just too strong.'
Then she seemed to recall something Quinn had told her in the past. That he seemed to get stronger with each person's blood he drank. Layla didn't know quite the details but anything they could do to tip the scales in their favour she would happily do right now.
She knelt down to Erin's side and asked for a favour.
"Erin I know you're weak right now, but do you think you could make a bowl of ice for me. I know its sounds weird, but you need to trust me."
Erin's face looked completely exhausted. It was clearly not just from using her abilities, but the whole scenario was affecting her mentally as well. She didn't reply back to Layla but lifted both hands and ice started to form eventually creating a small ice bowl.
The next thing she did, she didn't bother asking for Erin's permission. She grabbed one of the arrows from her quiver and used the tip to cause a cut on the palm of Erin's hands. The strangest thing was there was absolutely no reaction from Erin at all, which proved that something was seriously wrong.
Then using the ice bowl, she allowed for the blood to drip into it. Once there was a good amount of blood, she continued to do the same using her own. Next was Peter.
"I have no time to explain Peter, but if you want to live, let me do this!" Layla said with a strange face. Peter had no intentions of not following her order and allowed for his blood to be put into the bowl as well.
The Dalki was continuing to move, and the sweat was running down through Sil's face.
'This stupid dinosaur's strong' Sill said inside.
"We know, but don't give up, just a little longer!" Vorden shouted. "Just hold on until the sun goes down."
"Sil, think of everything that ever annoyed you, pretend it's that stupid things fault!" Raten cheered.
The words of encouragement from the two powered Sil to continue fighting on, and he was doing his best to hold the Dalki back.
Suddenly, Layla appeared by his side. "I know you're busy, but I need your help as well."
The bowl was almost full, Layla didn't know how it worked or how much she needed, but she had to do something. Using the arrow, she created a small cut on the back of Vorden's leg, allowing it to slowly go into the bowl.
Then finally, she started to make her way towards Quinn.
"Just what is that girl doing?" The Dalki thought, but for now, he would have to ignore her, because right now a bigger pain in his backside was controlling his movements.
"Quinn, are you alright?!" Layla said as she came rushing over.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I was just waiting for the sun to go down, and I'm not much use while the sun is out, but it looks like Vorden managed to delay him."
They both looked at the sun and the faintest bit of light that was left. As it continued to go down, strength was returning to Quinn's body.
"Here drink this?" Layla said as she handed over the bowl.
"What is it?"
"It's all of our blood, I thought it could help you in some way."
Quinn had yet to drink the blood from, Vorden, Erin or Peter so right now the blood would give him three extra stat points. He was unsure in what, but right now he needed everything he could to turn the tide.
He took the bowl and gulped it down in one go.
[65/65 HP]
[Blood bank has been filled]
[2 points have been added into agility]
[One free stat point has been added]
A row of messages had appeared giving Quinn a smile on his face, but the last one was the best of them all.
[You are no longer affected by sunlight]
[All stats have returned to normal]
