747 Blood or Soul? (1/2)

'It's light.' Fex said giving it a few swings.

Lucy chuckled seeing this.

”He is no master swordsman, that's for sure.”

From the few swings, she could tell he was inexperienced when it came to using a blade, Layla knew this as well.

'If this really was his soul weapon, then it was a shame that it had to be a weapon type.' She thought.

However, Kazz seeing the weapon knew straight away that it wasn't a soul weapon. It was a blood weapon. But this was different and it challenged everything she knew about blood weapons, everything she had learnt.

Blood weapons were created using crystals that were left behind once a vampire was killed. The crystal's strength varied depending on the vampire that had been killed. But once the crystal was used to form a weapon or armour, it was permanently in a solid form.

There was no enhancement type blood weapon like the soul weapon, it was more like beast weapons. A user wasn't able to bring it out and place it away as they wished.

But Kazz had just seen Fex do that very thing. He didn't have the weapon before, and it had come out from within. The energy coming off it, she could tell straight away it was a blood weapon.

When she saw Quinn use his soul weapon, she could tell it was different to a blood weapon. That was a soul weapon, something only humans had. She thought because he was a human before, it looked like he was able to have a soul weapon. She didn;t know much about human turned vampires.

And there hadn't really been any since the discovery of soul weapons since it was linked to abilities.

In the past, Vampires had attempted to see if they had a soul weapon, but could only see the blood crystals inside them.

'How did this boy manage to do it?' Kazz thought. 'If I go back and let the vampires know about this, it will be a huge change. The vampire's strength will increase greatly. I just need to find out how he was able to do it.'

Since using blood crystals had become a taboo and was against the vampire's code, blood weapons were very rare amongst vampires, and were either passed down through families, or only those that were old enough had one.

”Dennis do you trust me?” Fex asked.

”We haven't been together long, but I trust you guys as much as I would my own family. We have been through life and death fights together. Split the same blood, drunk from the same cu-”

”That's okay Dennis, I just wanted a yes or no answer but it was a good answer.” Fex said, tightening his grip around the large needle. It was then thrusted forward towards Dennis back. ”Then trust me on this one!”

The needle stuck in about two inches deep, and through the transparent black sword martial down the middle, a red glow started to fill up.

There was another major difference between soul weapons, beast weapons and blood weapons. For blood weapons to use it's true power, it needed human blood.

”What are you doing?” Dennis asked, but soon he felt a strange surge of energy pumping through his body. A new found strength he had never felt before. He realised that he wasn't feeling pain, but instead, it was pleasure.

From the needle itself, right at the end where Fex's hand had been covering the whole time, there was a small hole. Here was where he would use his string ability.

”Try not to fight it Dennis, and I promise this will be the best chance we have at winning.” Fex said.

With his blood weapon, it allowed him to control two people. The needle was somehow linked to his thoughts and only a single connection needed to be made. While with his other hand, he was able to control Peter.

Not only that, but the Needle would strengthen whoever it was placed into, and this included vampires as well. That was until the blood would run out.

When acquiring his blood weapon, Fex thought of a number of ways to use the needle. He could try to impale his enemies and absorb their blood. When filled up he could stick the needle into himself or an ally.

That's when he came up with another idea, what if the needle was stuck into a human permanently? This way it would get a constant blood supply and would empower Dennis for longer than anyone else.

Now controlling the two of them, Fex made it so Dennis was in front running forward. He used his large wings to block any of the incoming thorns and just behind them was Peter.

Before when the thorns would hit Dennis, he would feel a slight pain and even though his wings were strong enough to block the attacks, there would be damage done, but not now, not while he was being empowered by the needle.

When they eventually got close enough, Peter jumped up in the air from behind and landed in front of the three girls. A strong kick was made towards Helen, but Peach had jumped in the way with her large round body.

However, they never expected the kick to be so powerful, as it threw her into Helen and they both went flying away. Thinking fast, Helen threw out her whip wrapping it around Peter's arm. They started to slow down, and she started to retract the whip pulling herself towards him.

”Why aren't the plants doing anything?” Ivy thought.
