Chapter 1120 - A third body is needed (1/2)

Naturally, Quinn had also wondered about the name of the mysterious 'being' he had been talking to. With how boastful the voice had been earlier, it was actually quite surprising that he hadn't introduced himself. However, the tone of the other's voice after Quinn had introduced himself, had made it clear that the conversation between the two was over.

There had been no way for the others to hear what had just been going on. They had only seen Quinn place his hands on the tablet, it lighting up, and after a while he had let go.​​

Walking away, the dragon continued to survey Quinn with its eyes, but the vampire felt far less nervous. The voice in the tablet had seemingly kept his word and the dragon didn't attack him.

The others could see how calm Quinn was walking over to where they were, so eventually they came out to meet him, worried that the dragon might suddenly change its mind.

”Quinn, are you okay? Did you hurt yourself when you fell from the dragon?” Layla asked immediately, and Helen soon stepped forward as well, but both of them were a little frozen in place, for they could see the large dragon's head staring at their group. It didn't do anything else, but the gaze was enough to tell them that it wanted them gone.

”I'm not hurt, you don't have to worry about that, but there are a few things I need to explain.” Quinn said and shared the details of the conversation that he just had with the person in the tablet. He didn't leave out any details either, as he saw no need to. The group gave a few odd looks here and there, but they certainly didn't think it was completely impossible.

Case in point the Demon tier beast, that was tolerating their conversation.

”Someone with so many abilities had to have been one of the strongest beings in existence. In history we never learnt of such a person.” Logan stated. ”If he really did have all those abilities, then what you are saying and what this person has done shouldn't be too much of a surprise. However, the only thing I can't understand is why did he choose to speak to you?”

Unfortunately, this was something that Quinn had no idea about, although he would have loved to know.

”We've managed to get to the stone tablet and grant Shiro the ability, so I would like to suggest that we listen to the 'being' and leave the dragon where it is for now.” Quinn said. ”I don't see any reason for him to lie to me. Honestly, with how powerful only one small part of the energy I absorbed from it was, I don't wish to fight it. If we try to make it move, some of us might get seriously hurt or outright perish. Besides, since the Dalki know about this island, they might destroy everything on it trying to look for the beast, including the stone tablet.”

”You're really going to listen to some strange voice you heard in your head?” Eno asked as he stepped out of the trees. ”You do understand the consequences of Jim getting his hand on the Dragon, right? He will be able to create even more Dalki, everlasting beings that could wipe out everything this whole universe has to offer!”

Taking one step too close to Quinn, the dragon moved slightly forward and now it's large head was hovering over the Cursed faction leader. It was no longer looking at all of them as a group, but it's yellow eyes were now directly staring at Eno, perceiving him as an intruder. It was so close to Quinn that he could feel the heat radiating from its large body from his back.

”Is he controlling it, like the same ability that Mona has?” Chucky wondered.

”That would make Quinn the first person to have more than one ability.” Hana shouted back as if it was an obvious answer. ”I, for one, believe he's told us the truth this whole time! Why would he suddenly make up having talked to a being if he had the power to control it the whole time? That voice must have told the dragon to protect Quinn for now.”

Still, despite the large dragon being behind Quinn's back, it didn't look like Eno was going to back down, or at least he wasn't afraid.

”It looks like this is the second time today, that I will have to concede to you, but hear my warning, Quinn. Humanity's sake is no longer just in my hands. Now you hold a large enough position of power that you will have to play your part in all of this as well.” Eno pointed at Quinn.

”We still need to figure out some things.” Quinn mentioned, with the dragon backing away. Sensing no more hostility from Eno he returned to his role as an annoyed observer. ”Just as the voice said, the tablet is one of the most important things here, and if the Dalki come here we need to protect this place!”

”Eno, I was hoping that we could use your army to station a few here, so they could inform us whenever there will be trouble. We can try to build a teleporter, but that might not work. However the good thing is, the island is on earth, so any attack should be spotted before they come here giving us enough time.”

Eno didn't give Quinn an answer nor did he show any signs he was going to agree. He was a stubborn old man after all, but by now Quinn knew him long enough that he would at least do this much, especially since he would have an interest in keeping on the dragon at all costs.

”Can I request something?” Logan asked. ”Since the dragon seems to be a bit tamer compared to before, do you think we can attempt to take some samples from it? I wish to use its blood to try and create more serums for little Borden.”

”I mean I can try.” Quinn thought, as he went back and placed his hands on the tablet once more. Unfortunately for some reason nothing had happened. The Tablet didn't light up like last time, and he was starting to wonder if he had gone mad just seconds ago. Until…
