Chapter 1196 Not just one (2/2)

'What's wrong, why…why can't I visualise it like I used to?'

”You with the strange red hands.” Burnie said, as he grabbed Nate's fist with his free hand and pulled it apart. Soon, he grabbed the other fist as well. Now the vampire could feel it, that the temperature was rising in both of his hands.

”Arghh!” Nate started to scream, even with the blood hardening, and his Qi, the power was too much for him to handle. It was clear that Burnie hadn't been one of the Big Four just for show. The fire ability user overpowered the vampire with just his ability alone, but was almost toying with him.

'What is this crap, I can't just watch as someone dies in front of me, just because I can't get over my freaking mommy issues!' Layla was screaming in her head. She could see the negative feeling all around in the room, but still as if a mental block was put on her, she was afraid of absorbing them and turning into that thing again.

Seeing Nate suffer like this, she decided that there was one thing she had to try. She had already tested it on weapons before, but had never attempted to use her powers on a living being.

'I don't know if this will affect me in any way, but I can't just let Nate die!' Layla put on a determined expression as she held out both of her hands toward Nate, and concentrated. It was at that moment that Nate started to feel something aside from the rising temperature. The power in his body was starting to swell. It felt similar to his power, yet slightly different.

'Is this Qi? Just how much power is this?' Turning his head slightly, he could see from the corner of his eye that Layla was on the floor stretching her hand out. This had to be her doing somehow.

Layla had an abnormally large amount of Qi. Not only her own, but her mother had given her powers that had been cultivated over the years. However, Layla's body couldn't handle the enormous strength of power without going to the fourth form.

Still, there was something else she had subconsciously learned to do. Through her telekinesis powers she had been able to infuse items with Qi. She had done so when fighting against Agent 11, powering the broken sword with Qi, to stab through his foot.

Right now, she was doing the same, using her telekinesis powers she was transferring her Qi to Nate. Unlike her, he had a strong trained body in martial arts and was a natural vampire rather than a subclass. Nevertheless, she was worried about the aftereffects this would have on both of them.

Agent 2 had been proof that too much could lead to disastrous effects, but she couldn't hold back too much either.

Pouring the Qi in his hands, and using the blood hardening he had learned, the pain started to lessen.

”Oi, you pompous piece of flaming crap, you've always been the least favourite of the four for me. You always were too hot headed!” Nate shouted as he quickly broke free from Burnie's grip and grabbed the hands himself. The power was a little too much for Nate to handle and his hands felt like they were going to explode if he allowed it to accumulate anymore.

”If all you can do is hold on to me, then this is useless!” Burnie shouted back as he was ready to push forward once more, until shadows rose up and covered both the hands of Burnie once more. However, these shadow's didn't belong to Nate.

”Unlike you and your old bullshit system our Cursed faction doesn't rely on the strength of just one person!” Dennis shouted, from behind and slammed the black sword he had picked up, through Burnie's neck. Quickly jumping out of the way, Dennis was expecting a flame attack, but while doing so he threw out a blood swipe and another blood swipe from another direction had come out, hitting the back of the sword pushing it even further inside.

Dennis, had arrived not on his own, but with Megan as back up as well as with Sam. Dennis and Sam both had a strange blue glows on them, courtesy of Layla's supportive powers.

”How…I was one of the strongest ability users out there…I thought there was only one person who could beat me…how could I have lost just to four nobodies….” Burnie questioned reality, as his breath was dwindling.

”A lot has changed since you have been away. I guess there's just a lot of strong people now.” Nate answered.

Burnie had been defeated, but the fighting was continuing in the ship. Layla had exhausted all of her powers once again, unable to move from the ground, she nevertheless had a smile on her face, for not letting Nate die. Still, it seemed like this time her abnormal Qi had even affected Nate, since he had almost collapsed to the floor instantly as well.

”Megan, Sam we have to get them out of here, and get rid of the rest!” Dennis shouted.

Sam, seeing how much trouble everyone was in, and knowing what the Blades were like, had predicted this. Their shadow powers were strong but it took a toll on them. If someone else as powerful as Burnie would appear, there was no guarantee they could beat them now.

There was no time for rest, but the world due to Bonny and Void had just witnessed something unbelievable happen. Something beyond their understanding, and it looked like there was more to come, as the drone had entered a training room, where two humanoid beasts were facing off against the Blade family twins.
