Chapter 1109 - Battle for Romeo (2/2)

'My best bet is to confuse her. I need to concentrate and use my ability at the same time, but it's hard to do that while also focusing on the fight. Is this what you've been doing all this time, Quinn?' Layla thought.

The thought only continued to spur her on, as she saw Helen, snapping all the arrows in place, and planting seeds at the same time.

”How was she able to learn to use Qi so fast? It doesn't look like she can use it throughout her body yet, otherwise she would be able to move faster, but she's able to transfer it from her fingertips into the arrow? This should only be possible with the second stage Qi, rather than the first.”

Was it really possible to outright skip an entire stage without any mastery in Qi?

”Look at her fingers. You should also be able to smell it.” Nate pointed out.

Sniffing, Quinn could certainly smell something, blood. It wasn't human blood either. When looking at the training room floor, he could see small drops of blood around the place, and he then noticed the state of Layla's fingers. They were heavily bleeding, each time she pulled the string on the bow.

”That my friend, is the power of love, REAL LOVE. For someone to go that far… She must have never stopped. She seems to know that she doesn't have talent in this area, but there is one thing she certainly isn't lacking. Determination. Ever since coming here, she hasn't stopped pulling that string, and firing those arrows. She would constantly ask me for pointers, time and time again.”

”I didn't understand why she was so desperate, but now I think I understand. Some idiot must have said something to her without thinking about it and now she has to prove herself.” Nate commented, as the fight continued on.

The arrows were still moving at a great speed, and they were coming out as fast as ever, but the pain on her fingertips was growing, and her accuracy was starting to take a toll. It might have been different if Layla had taken a break before the fight, but after nearly half a day of training her concentration was waning.

Unlike other abilities, the telekinesis ability was one that took huge amounts of concentration, especially to move around as many arrows as she was doing.

”Don't think all I can do is stay still!” Helen shouted, as she dashed forward, running past the arrows and hitting the ones in front with her whip. They were destroyed in seconds, but there were still more coming from behind.

With the beast gear on, Helen's speed was greater than Layla's and throwing out her whip, she tangled the other's leg and pulled to drag the body forward.

”I win, little girl.” Helen said as she stood in front of Layla.

However, Layla wasn't done yet. The arrows from behind were still coming towards Helen. As they inched closer, a wall of vines were raised. Although the arrows hadn't stopped, they had been slowed down.

Helen had already grabbed Layla by the neck with her other hand, lifting her and using her own body to stop the arrows. From the looks of it Layla still wanted to control the arrows, so Helen put some slight pressure on her throat, making the other stop her feeble resistance.

From the look in Layla's eyes, Quinn could see how disappointed she was in herself, but he was extremely proud of seeing her improve to this degree.

'Layla, you shouldn't be sad that you lost. You managed to fight to this degree without being able to properly use Qi, and you also didn't use any of your vampire powers or take on your other forms. Although Helen didn't use her soul ability either, if the two of you had truly gone all out, with a little bit more time of training, it's hard to say who would have won that fight.'

”I'll think of what I want you to do some other time.” Helen said as she walked off.

Layla felt frustrated. She had finally felt as if she had made a breakthrough with her powers, but the result spoke for itself.

'Everyone around me is improving so fast, but me….'

Just when Quinn was ready to go up and console her, a certain alarm was heard through the ship.

”Everyone, World Leader Oscar has an important message to announce. Please stop whatever you're doing and listen closely. The World Leader has an important and urgent message to announce.”

In every room on the Cursed ship, large hologram screens appeared and Oscar was there from the c.h.e.s.t up with a serious look on his face.

”I hope everyone is doing okay. You all must be worried about the Dalki attack, but at the moment I have come to share an important message and warning with you all. News should have already spread of what has recently happened to the Graylash family. We have made the decision to make everyone aware of what exactly has been going on.”
