00:00For a long time, the tension hadn't been quite the same in a particular shelter, a shelter that
00:05looked unusual compared to others, for the houses, people, and shops lived high above the trees.
00:10However, if one was to look at all the people walking around, none of them had a smile on
00:15their face. Instead, their faces showed great concern. If they had the choice, they would try
00:20their best to stay inside their homes. There were a lot of people outside right now because of a
00:25meeting that was going to happen in one of the bigger houses. It was the highest house in the
00:29shelter, and also the largest. Using the bridges that would take them from one platform to the
00:34other, a group of people was now heading their way there. Inside the place, the leader of everyone
00:39who was named Ruby stood on a small raised wooden platform. She had dark-colored skin and curly hair
00:45that was braided down to her waist. She stood there holding a spear with the head of it stuck into the
00:50ground. As the room was getting filled, mumbling between everyone started already. What are they
00:56even doing here? Do we know yet? I can't sleep well at night knowing they are just right outside
01:01our doors. But they don't seem to be attacking us. Has there been some type of deal that has been set
01:06up? And they have been here a while without saying much at all. And where is Arthur? Wasn't he meant to
01:11protect us from things like this? Silence! Ruby shouted, her voice carrying loudly over everyone.
01:18After hearing that name, she immediately wanted to end the discussion there.
01:22I know everyone is scared, worried, and has a lot of questions on their mind. The worry has only
01:28been building up. It feels like we can't catch a break, and everyone who we have ever trusted has
01:33abandoned us. As soon as Ruby started to speak, the rest immediately shut up. The way Ruby spoke,
01:40she took control of the room with her voice in an instant. The Dalky? I don't really know why they are
01:45here. The human race has been at war with them for so long. We have learned that they are the enemy,
01:50but we have seen what they have done so far, Ruby continued. The beasts that regularly attack us,
01:57they have for some reason defended us. They have stayed near our borders of the shelter,
02:02but haven't harmed a single one of us. Saying all this, Ruby had to pause,
02:06and her fist could be seen tensing over the spear. But they are the enemy. How many of us have known
02:13someone that lost their lives in the first war? I know the army abandoned us, but we wouldn't be in
02:18this place if they never attacked us. A man shouted and argued, and it looked like a lot of
02:23them agreed. I know, Ruby shouted again, silencing them all once more. But tell me, do you all trust
02:30Arthur? He told us that no matter what, they will protect us from whatever is to come, whatever the
02:36outcome of the war. As long as the Dalky do not harm us, then I think that we should leave them.
02:42Just as she was about to finish her sentence, the whole room started to shake, and a loud bang was
02:48heard from the outside. Immediately, they all grabbed their spears and started to rush outside
02:54the world. I knew that the Dalky would eventually attack. We have to defend ourselves at all costs.
03:00It might just be a beast. They have been coming more often lately, another one said.
03:05Ruby knew that this wasn't an attack from the beast, nor the Dalky. It sounded more like someone
03:12had fired some type of laser. When they finally went outside, they could see the chaos that was
03:17unfolding. While the Dalky were defending the shelter, mechs were dropping in close by and
03:22nearby outside. Power users were using their abilities to battle the Dalky.
03:27It's the military! They have come back to save us! The men shouted.
03:31It certainly seemed that way. There had been no reason for them to arrive after all,
03:36but Ruby disagreed that they had come to save them. They could have come a long time ago and
03:41transported them to another shelter or planet, but that never happened. She feared that the actual
03:47reason the military had decided to come here was that they wanted to get rid of the Dalky,
03:51which would be bad news for her.
03:53Why? Why couldn't you just leave us in peace? Ruby said as her face was full of tears,
03:58and she'd just wish one person was still here. Arthur.
04:03On the ground floor, two head generals had been sent to get rid of the Dalky force.
04:08They were unsure how many Dalky were at the shelter, but the order was quite clear.
04:13They were to suspect that the humans with the Dalky were part of the V's.
04:17The head generals that were down there were Head General Sack, along with Samantha.
04:22It looks like this might be quite an easy task, Sack said.
04:25Bringing both of our forces in. It looked like Oscar wanted to deal with them quickly.
04:30I guess it makes sense because of where the Dalky are. How did they even get here in the first place?
04:35Sack! Samantha shouted. We are both Head Generals, and you decided to go against my suggestion.
04:41I suggested it would be best if we could find a way to know if the humans really were V's or not.
04:47And risk our people getting caught? Sack replied. Then the enemy would know about us,
04:52and a whole platoon would have died for no reason. This was the best decision as you can see.
04:57Even though Sack had his reasons for doing things, she didn't like it.
05:01After Oscar had released the information to the whole world, there seemed to be two types of reactions.
05:07Either those who are cautious around others, or those who trust no one, and Sack clearly preferred to trust no one.
05:13Soon the humans realized this fact as well, as a mech had dropped down on top of one of the wooden platforms
05:20and was pointing its laser arms directly at the humans.
05:23Watch out! The army! They are attacking us as well! Ruby shouted.
05:28But no warning would save their lives.
05:30The Dalky! They are really protecting us from some reason.
05:34And the army! Why are they attacking us? The people thought. What do we do?
05:39All of those in the shelter were now confused.
05:43The ones meant to be protecting them were trying to kill them,
05:46and those they knew as their enemies for a lifetime were now saving them.
05:51In the end, what choice did they have?
05:53They could only join the Dalky as they fought for their lives.
05:57I guess it's time we finish this up. Why don't you and I join the battle?
06:01General Sack said as he looked over to Samantha.
06:04We could have a friendly competition.
06:05If I kill more than you, then why don't you take me up on a date?
06:09He asked.
06:10I would like to take you up on that offer, a voice said from above,
06:14and soon the Dalky had landed on the ground, shaking the whole area around them.
06:19As they quickly recovered their balance and looked at what had landed in front of them,
06:23they could see one thing, a single horn sticking out from its head.
06:27What did you say? Oscar shouted, echoing through the office they were in.
06:36The reason for his cry was the new report that had just come in.
06:39There was a nervous look on his assistant's face, as sweat was running down her face.
06:45Jane was afraid to repeat the contents of it again, for the matter was disbelievably serious.
06:50We have received an urgent report from the first Earthborn group.
06:55They have encountered the one-horned Dalky.
06:57The leader in the last war has not only been spotted, but appears to have already joined the battle, Jane repeated.
07:03At the moment, Oscar was still on one of the Bertha ships that were nearby the teleporting station.
07:09The main reason was his gut feeling.
07:11It had told him that something would be going on, on that planet.
07:15After hearing the news of the Dalky leader being there,
07:18he could only imagine that they were planning something disastrous,
07:21and if worse came to worse, he would have to join in the battle as well.
07:25Quickly, I must prepare to leave.
07:27Samantha and Sack won't be enough to deal with him.
07:30It took all of the four leaders to take him on,
07:33and even though we have grown greatly since then,
07:35I fear that there may be a larger force than we first thought.
07:39As Oscar was getting ready to leave to head out to the battlefield himself,
07:43he couldn't help but think this planet or base that the Dalky had created
07:47must somehow be crucial to them.
07:49There was no other explanation as to why Onehorn would be there personally.
07:54Could this be the base that allows them to communicate with the V?
07:57If so, we have to capture it at all costs.
08:01Winning the battle might be the key to ending the war,
08:04Oscar thought as he rushed over.
08:07At the same time, in the Dalky mountain-like structure that they used as their main base,
08:12Graham was the only Dalky present today,
08:15but he wasn't alone, for a vampire was sitting opposite him.
08:19Do you think it was the right decision?
08:21You have sent out two of your strongest forces,
08:23Slicer and Onehorn?
08:25Jim asked.
08:26Of course, else I wouldn't have sent them out,
08:28Graham replied matter-of-factly.
08:30You should worry about completing your own job.
08:33I have already given you a force to help you with that, have I not?
08:36Yes, but you see, I have lent that force to another,
08:39so once again I am left on my own.
08:42Well, not without my own people, the vampire stated.
08:45Jim, you are a smart person.
08:47I am sure you can guess what will happen.
08:49Onehorn was sent out to fulfill the deal we made.
08:52Consider it our way to prove to you that we are indeed trustworthy.
08:56He won't fail his mission, and neither will Slicer.
08:59The humans are still unaware of our true strength.
09:02There is no single human in existence that could defeat Slicer or Onehorn at the moment.
09:07Perhaps if all the powerhouses were to come together, it might be a different story,
09:12but that is why I instructed them to strike two different places at roughly the same time,
09:17Graham explained.
09:17Not a single human.
09:20I guess you believe the vampires are stronger then, Jim spoke.
09:23However, if not a single human can beat them, then what about you?
09:27Does that make you invincible?
09:29If only we didn't have one defect when you created us, Graham answered with a smile,
09:34which showed his vicious, sharp teeth.
09:37No matter how much he dressed in human clothing or made himself appear human,
09:41his teeth would forever reveal what he truly was.
09:43Seeing the partly broken single horn on the Dalky's head that had landed in front of the
09:49two generals, they immediately recognized him.
09:52It didn't take long for Samantha to activate her sole weapon, bringing up the nine tails
09:57of earth that would come out from the ground and stay around her.
10:00As for General Sack, his power stemmed from his nearly invincible body, and he needed to
10:05get up close to the Dalky.
10:07Charging in, Sack leaped forward, pushing off the ground and throwing out his knee with full
10:12force.
10:13As it hit the Dalky, the force could be seen coming out from the other side of his body,
10:18and Samantha thought this was the perfect chance for her to use her sole weapon, throwing out
10:23all of the nine tails with the pointed tips towards the Dalky's back.
10:28Please be hurt enough, so he says still, for just a second, she silently prayed.
10:33The tails were inches away from the Dalky's back and were aiming right where their heart
10:37would be.
10:38It looked like they could possibly deal with this quickly.
10:40You've underestimated us.
10:43You're not the only race capable of growing stronger, Sack shouted as he prepared to perform
10:48another kick.
10:49The tails had hit the Dalky, but they all smashed at that point, including the tips, breaking
10:54and chucking up piles of ground that fell to the floor.
10:57Samantha's eyes were spread wide open as it was the first time her sole weapon, the sharp
11:02tips she could place on her earth ability, had failed to pierce anything.
11:06It would even work on the Dalky.
11:09Sack went to kick Dalky's head with all his strength.
11:12Although the beast gear he was wearing didn't particularly have any active skills, it was
11:17focused on the strength aspect more than anything.
11:20Having great strength and speed already, Sack was expecting to kill the Dalky with a single
11:24hit.
11:25But all he could see was that the formerly unmoving Dalky finally acted by grabbing General Sack's
11:31leg with a single hand.
11:32The kicks the military man had trained for a number of years had been stopped just like
11:37that.
11:39And that's when Samantha realized they were in for a world of trouble as she stared at
11:43the back of the Dalky.
11:45Seeing the horn, they had already gauged how much of a threat he would pose, so they had
11:49acted fast.
11:50One horn, a strong four-spike Dalky, they assumed him to be the leader of their race.
11:56However, the number of spikes coming from his back no longer matched their intel.
12:00Is this the power of a five-spike?
12:03Even us head generals seem to stand no chance, Samantha thought.
12:07Run!
12:08Sack shouted.
12:09Get out of here and warn everyone!
12:11The next second, Sack's body was slammed hard into the ground while being held by his
12:16ankle.
12:17The ground broke beneath him, but his body was fine.
12:20Thanks to his ability, he was pretty resilient.
12:22Oh, I think you are the first human I have met whose body didn't suddenly splat into red
12:28liquid from doing that.
12:29I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with you, Onehorn grinned as he looked over Sack.
12:35When being told to come here by Graham, Onehorn was against the idea.
12:39He had thought this job would be pretty annoying, and he didn't quite understand why they were
12:43going through with this promise of theirs anyway.
12:46As such, the Dalky was now quite excited to find someone who looked like they could put
12:52something up.
12:53When the Dalky attempted to swing Sack again into the ground in another area, he tried his
12:58best to press off the ground, kicking off using a force equal in power.
13:03It's going to be hard with one leg, but I have to use everything I have.
13:07At the same time, the ground beneath him rose and shot up, and the one doing the work was
13:12none other than Samantha.
13:14With the forces joining together and all of Sack's beast armor powering him, he was
13:19somewhat able to equal the force of the Dalky, and was now at head height with the Dalky.
13:24But Onehorn refused to let go of the leg.
13:27Spinning his body, not caring about breaking his bones, Sack kicked the forearm of the Dalky,
13:33not once, but several times, each time the air rippled on the other side of the forearm.
13:38You want me to let go that badly, then be my guest, the Dalky said, as he swung
13:43Sack up high in the air, letting him go.
13:47He was soon sent flying, as he continued to go higher and higher into the sky.
13:52Sack!
13:52Samantha cried out.
13:54She needed to save him somehow, catch him or create something to cushion his fall, but
13:58she knew the Dalky wouldn't allow her to move.
14:01But what can I do?
14:02She thought.
14:03And it also looked like the Dalky forces were getting a second wind, as the humans from
14:07the shelter were starting to support them, fighting against the military power that was
14:12attacking them.
14:13I...
14:14Back down now, a voice ordered her, and a tunnel of ice shot out, heading straight for the Dalky.
14:20This attack made it clear that he had arrived.
14:23Oscar, the supreme commander of the military and leader of the Earthborn group.
14:28A five-spike here of all places?
14:30This wasn't in the report, Oscar thought.
14:32It looks like we need to call for help as soon as possible.
14:36Quinn!
14:36Owen!
14:37I can't do this alone!
14:39Alas, for now, he would have to.
14:46There were no set schedules between vampires for when one would sleep or stay awake.
14:50Unlike humans, they didn't follow the sun, nor did they need as much sleep as humans.
14:55Then there were also subclasses that didn't require any sleep at all.
14:59As such, it wasn't too surprising that at any time of day, one could see lights all around
15:04the place and people coming and going around in the vampire world.
15:08Today, though, Bryce had given an order to a certain number of vampires to gather in the
15:13castle once more to hold a special meeting.
15:15He wasn't in his usual throne room.
15:17Instead, he was in the dungeon of the castle where prisoners would often be kept before heading
15:22off to the 14th castle or for execution.
15:25One of these deep underground tunnels led to a certain place.
15:28A special room that Bryce had created once he had become king, putting a special type
15:33of combination on the door.
15:34For this door, he didn't even allow Mooka to know the combination, and Mooka wasn't
15:38even made aware that such a tunnel existed in the first place.
15:42Going through the tunnels, the special leaders that had been invited could go and visit Bryce
15:46without the others knowing.
15:49This certainly seems more fun than the time when I was alive, Tempest said out loud to himself
15:54as he walked towards the special door.
15:56Giving a type of knock on the door that only he would know, it was soon open from the inside,
16:01and Tempest could now see the other leaders that were there.
16:04You invited the second original?
16:06Susan, the leader of the third family, exclaimed, the shock being so great that she jumped out
16:11of her seat.
16:12If it had been any other time, she would have shown the vampire great respect, but today,
16:16things were different for a reason.
16:18Calm down.
16:19He is already aware of everything that is going on and everything that has happened.
16:23I know the second family wasn't involved back then, but after what happened to Cindy,
16:27it was impossible to hide it from him.
16:29Besides, he has been a great help so far.
16:31Learning this fact, the rest of the leaders in the room stood up and bowed to him.
16:36The ones attending were Bryce's two royal knights, Prima Kilton, ex-leader of the 12th
16:40family, and Kyle Harloo, ex-leader of the 7th family.
16:44On top of this, Jill, the ex-8th family leader who still had her dead eyes, was standing rather
16:50than sitting at the table.
16:52As you have all been made aware, Arthur will come to pay us a visit, and there is only one
16:57reason we can all think of.
16:58He has come to get revenge for what we have done to the other punishers, Bryce stated.
17:03I don't regret what we did.
17:04We needed to make sure that they would never come back, but because we didn't finish the
17:08job properly the first time, we still have troublesome people coming back now.
17:12To rectify our past mistake, I have gathered you here to ask for your help.
17:18I know a lot of you have not informed the new leaders in your family about your past,
17:22and I don't blame any of you.
17:23If we had succeeded in the past, we could all just bury this event as a part of history,
17:28but since our old friend will come to pay us a visit, we will have to deal with him.
17:33Any vampires that you see as expendable, please send them my way.
17:37I have already exhausted my connections to the first family, and I am aware that Mooka already
17:42knows that something is up.
17:44If the first family's number gets any smaller, or we go out to create more newborns, people
17:49will certainly start to ask about it.
17:51The room remained silent after Bryce's request.
17:54This group of people had hardly met up before Bryce had become king, but at least then, the
17:59ex-first family leader had treated them as equals.
18:02All of them were here because they had committed the same sin, but now that Bryce was king, although
18:07he had asked them for this, his tone had made it clear that it was just for appearance's
18:12sake.
18:12In reality, it was pretty much in order.
18:15What do you plan to do with these people?
18:17Susan asked.
18:18It sounds like they may never be brought back.
18:20I'm fine with sending you criminals or people who disobey rules, but if you can promise me
18:25they will come back, then I'm happy to send you others as well.
18:29Some of the others agreed with this.
18:30They, too, feared that maybe the vampires that they would send to him would forever disappear.
18:36It certainly sounded like that based on the way he was talking about the first family.
18:41Arthur is strong.
18:42Have you forgotten how much so?
18:43Bryce replied to them all.
18:45It would be great if that man would only believe himself to be untouchable, but he came at all
18:50of us at the same time.
18:52We would all be dead by now if he hadn't left of his own free will.
18:55And even the old king had been unable to do anything about it.
19:00Our only hope to stand up against him is that he will believe that we are still weak, that
19:05we won't have any solution to stop his shadow powers.
19:07But with your help, I will.
19:09As for your people, no, they will not return, Bryce admitted.
19:13I will make sure that they will be remembered as heroes, but without sacrifice, we can't
19:17win this upcoming battle.
19:19It worried them a little, the way Bryce was speaking.
19:22As the king, shouldn't he care for the well-being of the vampire race?
19:26Didn't they all agree to get rid of the punishers so that no vampire lives would
19:30have to end?
19:31So then how could he so easily ask for the lives of their fellow vampires?
19:36Still, it also felt like they had no other choice now.
19:39After getting involved in the past, they could no longer be forgiven.
19:43Arthur, as the leader of the punishers, might have chosen to postpone punishing them for
19:47their crime once, but it was nigh impossible for something like that to happen again.
19:52If there was only a way to convince the other leaders that Arthur is the villain, we should
19:56be fighting against, Tempest spoke.
19:59I think it would increase our chances, don't you?
20:01Besides, then there would be no need for you to worry about certain leaders teaming up
20:05with the Punisher.
20:07The others found it odd that the second family was working with Bryce.
20:11After all, the second family had not been involved with the matter of the Punishers back
20:15then.
20:15Oh, if you have a suggestion, please share it with us all, Bryce said.
20:20I think he will be surprised by seeing some old faces reappear in front of him again, Tempest
20:25said.
20:26Over at the Tenth Castle, Paul had been doing his duties as the Vampire Knight quite diligently.
20:32The human soldiers had built up a good relationship with those in the Tenth.
20:36It seemed like most of the distrust had gone away after Quinn had been hailed a hero.
20:40This had made Paul's job a lot easier than before.
20:43Sitting at his desk inside the castle, Paul was going through paperwork, reminding him
20:48of the days when he had been in the military without any abilities.
20:52It was one of the reasons he had been able to adapt to the situation quicker than most.
20:57He also had the likes of Xander and Timmy helping him out.
21:01Quinn, there has been no report from you.
21:03I hope you still remember the request I have made.
21:06I know you will look after all of our families, but I can't help but worry that the war has
21:10already started.
21:11I am not sure how busy you will be or whether you can still protect them all at that time,
21:16Paul thought.
21:17At that moment, the mask that he mostly kept around his waist started to vibrate, and he
21:23was wondering who could be calling him at a time like this.
21:26Sam had given him a few updates about the current situation in the world, but he also missed out
21:31on many.
21:32Perhaps it was because he knew that Paul would want to get involved if he knew too much.
21:36When answering the call, it had come from someone unexpected.
21:41I see.
21:41I think that is possible, Paul replied, as he stood up from his seat and started to head
21:46to the throne room of the 10th castle.
21:48There, Paul stood in front of the teleporter.
21:51He pressed a few of the buttons on the front, activating the teleporter, and soon it started
21:56to light up as it was activated.
21:58He waited a few seconds, and coming through the teleport, two people could be seen.
22:04Welcome back.
22:05I didn't expect to see the two of you return first before the others.
22:08Is everything okay?
22:09Paul asked.
22:10It was an unexpected return for us as well, but necessary, Leo replied, with Aaron following
22:16him from behind.
22:17It came as quite a surprise to Paul that the one who had requested a return to the 10th
22:27castle was none other than Leo.
22:29He was sure that the other vampire knight would be helping Quinn out to the best of his
22:33abilities, especially since they were going up against the Dalky.
22:37Who better to have by your side than someone who has the experience of fighting them in
22:41the past?
22:41However, as soon as he saw the other person next to Leo, he began to get a rough idea of
22:47what led them here.
22:48Aaron's usual blonde hair had turned black, but that wasn't the most prominent thing
22:53that stood out about her.
22:54That would be the pair of chains that were now covering both arms, clearly tied up in
22:59a restrictive way.
23:00On top of that, he could see that Aaron's arms were still twitching.
23:04What's happening to her?
23:05Is it some type of disease?
23:07Paul wondered.
23:08Leo has always had a soft spot for his students, but Aaron seems to go even above that.
23:13I just hope nobody will ever use that against him.
23:15Paul knew this well.
23:18It was the whole reason he had given up his humanity in order to protect his platoon that
23:22he had originally arrived with him.
23:25There are some matters that I need to deal with.
23:27You haven't told anybody about our arrival here, have you?
23:30Leo asked.
23:31No, Paul shook his head.
23:33You wouldn't have asked me to bring you cloaks if you wanted your presence to be known,
23:37now would you?
23:38Ever since that event, our faces are quite well known all over.
23:41So take these and cover up.
23:43Paul handed over the cloaks, but as he was about to present it to Aaron, Leo snapped
23:48it from Paul instead.
23:50It was just the confirmation he needed to know that something was definitely up.
23:55Perhaps even Quinn didn't know what was going on, judging by the strange way Leo was acting.
24:00Thank you, Leo said hastily.
24:02I'm sorry to have left you here with all this burden on your shoulders.
24:06If there is anything I can help you with, I will be happy to do so once I'm done with
24:10my own task.
24:11Perhaps this is payback for me not looking after the second base so well, Paul shrugged,
24:16smiling back at him.
24:17Although Paul was the one who had originally hired Leo, they hadn't really gotten around
24:22to talk much like this, and who would have thought they would be in this situation at
24:26the moment?
24:26The leaders are seemingly preparing for something, and there has been less infighting than usual,
24:31so there actually hasn't been much to do.
24:34Just concentrate on whatever you came here to do, and perhaps after that it would be best
24:38for you to go and assist Quinn.
24:40The fact that things are that calm is a little unsettling in itself, Leo commented, before he
24:46and Aaron quickly wrapped themselves in the cloaks to set off.
24:49Why was I so on guard when I looked into that girl's eyes?
24:53Paul wondered.
24:54All the cells in his body had been screaming to either kill or be killed.
24:59Since they wanted to exit the castle in secret, the duo had to scale out from one of the windows
25:04and down from the castle.
25:06Then, once they were in the tenth area, they could relax a little.
25:10Finally, away from their family members, the two of them decided to go down an alleyway that
25:14was between two large houses.
25:16The good thing was that the inner castle area was a little quiet around the tenth area.
25:21It looked as if Paul had kept the requirements for entering the inner area quite strict.
25:26How did you feel when you met Paul?
25:28Was it similar to when you are around me?
25:30Or is being around more than one of us worsening your condition?
25:34Leo asked.
25:35Worse.
25:36Aaron kept her answer short, as if talking alone was taking a toll on her while she was holding
25:41down her urges.
25:42Ever since we entered, I can feel everyone.
25:45Imagine the entire place being filled with blood.
25:48Although she couldn't make that comparison because she didn't know what it was like to
25:52be addicted to the blood, and Leo didn't know what it was like to be like Aaron either.
25:57For now, try to get used to the feeling.
26:00This might be the quickest way for you to learn to resist it.
26:03You're in a world where it's plentifully easy to get.
26:06Then, when we are back on track, you should be...
26:08Fine.
26:10Leo tailored off because he could tell the energy inside her was growing by the second.
26:15This was the only choice he had, and if this didn't work, he needed a backup plan.
26:20Leo didn't know much about the vampire world, and he didn't know many people he could trust
26:24that might be able to help him in the situation he was in.
26:27But there was one person.
26:30In the 13th castle, Silver was performing her normal duties and was walking down a grand
26:35hallway.
26:36Suddenly, someone appeared directly in front of her, someone whom she hadn't seen for a
26:40while now.
26:42Leo?
26:43Silver asked, a little stunned.
26:45She hadn't gotten any news about him returning, and in the next moment she saw the cloaks.
26:50Since they had come unannounced, then they didn't want anyone to know that two vampire knights
26:54were meeting informally like this.
26:56Since when were you on a first-name basis?
26:59Aaron grunted.
27:01Ignoring Aaron's sass, Silver pulled the two of them into the closest unoccupied room, which
27:06happened to be one of the bedrooms.
27:08The female vampire knight quickly locked the door behind her, not that it would stop a vampire
27:13from coming in, but would give them time to escape, or Silver could just answer saying
27:18it was her inside taking a rest.
27:19What are the two of you doing here?
27:22Silver asked in a hushed voice, staring at Leo, but she couldn't help but notice the
27:26wincing and twitching that was coming from Aaron either.
27:30I'm sorry, but there are not many I can trust in this place.
27:33The king and the others do not know of our arrival, and I would like to keep it that way.
27:37We have a problem, and I hope you can help with that, Leo explained.
27:41You are trustworthy, skilled, and I'm guessing a beautiful person who wouldn't mind helping
27:45an old man, correct?
27:47Old?
27:48Silver chuckled.
27:49Perhaps you looked old before, but with your evolution, you look like a fine man.
27:54Also, age-wise, I'm probably four times your actual age, Silver stated with an amused smirk.
28:00The bloodsuckers are seen as enemies of the vampire settlement, and I believe that King
28:05Bryce has said that he has destroyed all the ones that were being made by Cindy, but I was
28:09wondering if they were still more out there, and if they would still count as being a vampire,
28:15Leo asked.
28:15It was a strange question to ask, but maybe Leo wanted to catch the bloodsuckers to find
28:21out more about the second family.
28:23Silver, too, didn't like the feeling she was getting from the original second leader,
28:27Tempest.
28:27There might be some out there, and there are always vampires that seem to give in to the
28:32blood, although far less than in the past, since we have taken measures against them
28:37now.
28:38However, it might be a struggle to find them.
28:40As for your other question, of course they are vampires.
28:44Some even believe that they are the vampire's true form, and choose to turn into one out
28:49of choice, and leave the settlement.
28:51This was a bit of a problem.
28:53They could go hunting in the vampire world to try to find the bloodsuckers, but there was
28:57no guarantee that they would be successful, and Aaron might explode by then.
29:02Bringing her here was a risk as well, as the vampires could possibly find out about her.
29:06What about vampires that commit severe crimes, or are to face execution?
29:11Does the 13th family have any?
29:13Leo questioned.
29:15Now, Silver was at a loss, but since it was Leo, she decided to answer.
29:21There are vampires that break the code, commit sins, and fight against each other.
29:25There are even vampires that talk back to their vampire knights and leaders, and that in itself
29:30is punishable by death.
29:32As long as the vampire being punished belongs to that family, the leaders are usually
29:36left to deal a punishment they believe is fit, unless it is quite a serious matter.
29:42This is why even though we are limited to a number of vampires per family, new vampires
29:46are born to keep up the numbers.
29:48Although, I believe some leaders also use this as an excuse to off-vampires, in hopes
29:54that a stronger one may come from a new line.
29:57As for vampires that commit crimes, they are mostly dealt with by Mooka.
30:01It might be best if you talk to him if you are trying to find someone.
30:04During the whole time the two of them were talking, Leo kept turning his head back, looking
30:10towards Aaron.
30:11They needed to move fast.
30:13Thank you for your help.
30:14It's time we leave.
30:15I shall repay your kindness in the future, Leo promised, as they quickly opened the window
30:20to the room, and the two of them were ready to jump off the ledge.
30:23Aaron was to climb onto it first, but she soon turned her head to look at Silver, and her
30:28glowing yellow eyes were seen.
30:30Leo quickly gave Aaron a little nudge before jumping off as well.
30:34Yellow eyes?
30:35A search for vampires or bloodsuckers?
30:38No, this can't be, Silver thought, as she figured out why they had asked those questions.
30:47A few days had passed since Quinn and his group had arrived on Blade Island.
30:51They had learned quite a few new things during their stay, and some dynamics had changed within
30:56the group.
30:57For one, Quinn had no idea what was taking Eno's people so long to arrive at the island.
31:02Whenever he had asked the old man, the only answer he would get out of him was that they
31:06would be here eventually.
31:08It appeared that they had to either be coming from a very faraway destination, or were making
31:13sure that no one could see them while on their way there.
31:15The demon-tier beast had returned to his original spot in front of the tablet.
31:20For most of the time, it seemed to be napping, only waking up briefly whenever Quinn would
31:25visit to see if there was any information he could get about his family, or if the tablet
31:30would speak to him again, but it never did happen.
31:33Since the plan to move the dragon had been abandoned, Helen had decided to leave ahead
31:37of everyone else.
31:38Quinn had instantly agreed that it was vitally important for her to head out there.
31:42After all, just like Owen was out protecting the planets the Grey Lash family owned, it
31:47was the same for her.
31:49Helen was the one that was in charge of protecting most of the cursed faction planets.
31:53Who knew when the next large-scale attack from the Dalky, or the Gym, would occur.
31:59Mona had been let out, and was updated on the situation.
32:02She seemed okay, but still didn't really know what happened.
32:05Usually if she couldn't take over, she wouldn't pass out like that, but she wasn't keen to try
32:10out again so soon. However, their days on the island weren't totally wasted.
32:15The island was full of strong beasts that the others could use as a form of training.
32:20Currently, seen coming out from the forest area that was just in in front of the entrance
32:24to the large castle, Fex could be seen dragging a beast that looked similar to a boar.
32:30Its tusks were nearly as large as its whole body. Whoever ended up on the wrong end of those
32:35would never be able to get off them. Fex continued to drag the boar that was wrapped
32:40with his red strings across the ground, and eventually cut off the string from his hand,
32:45leaving it to wiggle around a bit on the floor.
32:48Phew! Finally the second one, Fex said, wiping the sweat from his head.
32:53I don't know what you want to do with these things, but it would be a lot easier if I was
32:57allowed to just kill it before bringing it over, trying to capture a beast alive as a massive pain.
33:02All right, Shiro, it's now your turn, Quinn said, as he gave him a small nudge forward.
33:08On the ground now, there were two different types of beasts. One was a giant frog with six
33:13eyes on its head that was also wrapped around with the same red strings. Both of them were
33:18advanced-tier beasts. Even if they were to escape, it wouldn't be much of a problem for the people
33:23there to deal with them, but Shiro still looked nervous. To him, these were deadly beasts.
33:28He inched closer and closer with both his hands out, walking towards them.
33:34You can do this. They need you to do this. You've been practicing a lot,
33:38and I think I've got the feeling down, Shiro mulled to himself. Remember what that book said.
33:44While searching the castle, the group was in luck, for when the Blades had left the island,
33:49nearly everything in the castle had been left behind as well. It seemed kind of sad, in a way,
33:54to see so much history left behind in such a place, but it looked like Hilston didn't care
33:58about it at all. There was an entire grand library filled with information, on top of information.
34:05After searching through the books, they managed to come across a type of diary. It had details
34:10reporting how certain abilities functioned as if they were testing things, and one of them was
34:15Shiro's current ability. It seemed like every chained ability they had was stored in that library
34:21filled with these notes, and it contained crucial information about each ability.
34:26After handing the book to Shiro, Quinn asked Syl if he could keep all the information.
34:31It felt wrong to just take something when it wasn't his, and a member of the family he was taking it
34:36from was right beside him. Syl hadn't even hesitated to agree. He didn't care for the books,
34:42and he wanted to forget everything about the place anyway. Doing so, Quinn put all of the books
34:47in his dimensional storage. These weren't ability books. They didn't tell the user how to cultivate
34:53the ability, but they did tell them what the abilities were capable of. Thanks to Shiro learning
34:58Ki, he was more in tune with his body than the average person. He could feel the changes that
35:04were happening as he activated his ability, and thanks to the information in the book about what
35:09was possible, he could already do a few things. It made Quinn wonder if Pure ever did learn abilities,
35:15it could make them stronger than others. While thinking about this, suddenly the frog beast
35:20shot out its tongue straight towards Shiro and wrapped it around his wrist before it could touch
35:25him. In less than a second though, Quinn was there to slice its tongue off. Immediately he went to look
35:31at Fex, who looked like he was trying to shy away. My bad, Fex mumbled an apology. I just brought them
35:38here, and that thing never used an attack like that when I was fighting it. Isn't it a frog though?
35:43Layla questioned. What else can a frog do? Since the danger had passed, Shiro soon walked forward,
35:50now armed with the knowledge that Quinn would be there if anything similar should occur.
35:55Placing one hand on each of the beast's heads, Shiro concentrated. The palm of his hand started
36:00to light up softly in a soft glow, and that was the end. Did it work? Shiro asked. Let's find out,
36:07Quinn said, as Shiro went running to where Layla and Syl were sitting. Quinn then cut the strings
36:13that were made by Fex, and the two beasts were free. As they stood on their feet, something felt
36:19strange about both of them. The boar beast attempted to jump on its back legs, hardly making any distance
36:25whatsoever. It would also constantly pull out its tongue as if it was tasting the air. As for the frog
36:31beast, it looked like it was trying to figure out how its legs worked. Bwahahahaha! Fex burst out
36:37laughing, and so did the others by the seats. It was quite a funny scene. Well, that's good. It looks
36:43like you're getting the hang of using your ability. Now let's try to put them back, their minds, into
36:48their original bodies. After that, we can try to just transfer the mind of one into the body of the
36:53other, Quinn suggested, as they continued to test out Shiro's ability. But before that, Quinn could feel
37:00that he was getting a call from a certain someone. Placing the mask on his face, he answered,
37:06Quinn, this is Sam, and I have an important report to make, Sam said over the voice, in a serious tone.
37:12Go on, Quinn replied, worried about what might have happened for Sam to react in such a manner.
37:18Dalky were discovered on one of the planets owned by the humans. Oscar sent out two of his forces,
37:23and in the end, he even had to join the battle, because Onehorn was there as well.
37:28Two groups and Oscar went there himself. How many Dalky were there, he thought. Onehorn was
37:34probably the most described Dalky to all of humanity, and he was the personification of
37:39why they feared the race. Does Oscar need help? Has he asked us to come to the planet? Quinn asked,
37:46but there was silence for a few seconds. He did, but there was nothing we could do. Before we could
37:51even send out reinforcements, the fight was already over. Humanity has lost their first battle against
37:57the Dalky.
