Chapter 1216 Catching up (1/2)
The Cursed group that was now helping Quinn along with his quest had been split up into two. Wevil, Linda, and four of the blood weapon users for support, then there was Quinn and his group. Alex and Andrew had been brought along, only Alex needed to come, but Andrew insisted on staying with Alex. More than anything, he was curious about the changes in his body and had multiple questions he wanted to ask.
Even now, Quinn could hear the two of them talk about it during their journey.
”I knew the Cursed faction had V, but after working with you closely, I never saw any signs that you were one. The other forgers would spill their blood constantly, and there were no signs at all.” Andrew said.
Although the two forgers had been pretty much living under a rock as they worked day and night to complete the Demon tier amulet, it was news that had even become known to them.
”Well, that's because now me and you are not quite the same as V. We work slightly differently and are a subclass of them of some kind. If the V had these giant red wings on their back, they would be pretty easy to spot.” Alex couldn't help but stare at the giant wings on Andre's back.
They were too large and powerful to be tied down or hidden underneath some type of clothing. The other four blooded weapon users on the ship with them couldn't stop staring as well, as if they were hypnotised by the red colour.
'Damn, am I feeling a little jealous?' Alex thought.
Iree, Yag, and two other females Anna and Ting had come on board from the blooded weapon users. They had been ordered by Quinn to do one thing, to protect Alex. Unlike the time before, they would not come with Quinn heading towards the Dalek mothership.

Soon they could see one of the Shelters of the planet under attack. They had yet to enter the Shelter, but there was fighting around a hundred meters from the place. It seemed like they were faring better as Quinn could see some Dalki bodies on the hard orange ground in different areas, far from the Shelter.
'This was the planet that had been handed the Blood weapons, and one of the ones Helen is planning to reinforce. In total, I think she said the Cursed are going to try and keep six planets. This means the evacuation of the others are still in progress.
'The weaker planets probably needed more help with the process, but this was one of the closer ones. I'm sorry for all the lives I can't save.' Quinn thought.
Still, in the air, they were soon approaching the Shelter. Quinn slammed a large red button on the side, and soon the back of the ship started to open up.
”Everyone, let's go, jump!” Quinn Shouted, breaking through the loud sound of the wind.
”From all the way up here!” Alex was a little nervous.
”Look at everyone else. They seem ready.” Andrew said. ”Shouldn't we be the least worried since we have wings?”
Still, despite that Alex had never jumped from so high before, why couldn't they just wait and land the ship like everyone else? Regardless, he soon saw Quinn jumping out of the ship and the others along with him.
They were falling through the air. The velocity of the ship made it so they were shooting right past the Shelter and instead were heading for where the fighting was taking place a few hundred meters past it.
”Don't worry,” Iree said to Alex. the two of them were falling through the sky, and one had a clear panicked look on his face. Alex made it so his wings were as close to his back as possible, afraid that the strong wind resistance would hurt them. ”If we look calm, it's because we have Quinn.”
In the middle of the air, Quinn unleashed the Dalki that was in his shadow lock, appearing next to him.
There were around twelve Dalki in total on the ground. A squad leader of around fifty or so people fighting, and a few of them with blood weapons.
”What is that?” One of them asked as they could see several people falling from the sky. Just as the people were about to crash into the hard ground, a large dome of shadow appeared, covering the centre area where the Dalki were bunched up. The next second, the shadow fell to the ground, and Quinn was seen with the others standing behind thier weapons drawn. Setting off, Quinn was already fighting against the Dalki.
In seconds Quinn had turned the battle. He swung out his fist, firing off large blood swipes, stopping them from getting close to the others. Blood drills were formed, killing Dalki on the spot, and Qi punches were made, sending the unmatched creature in strength, flying through the sky.
What was strange for most of them was that a Dalki was saying by Quinn's side, helping him do everything, until there was only one left.
”I'm going to need a bit of my own space for this,” Quinn said, using the shadow Void skill to create a dome over his Dalki and the other he had captured. Using the amulet, he had planned to capture another Dalki since a second slot had opened up.
'Last time, it took three tries to just get one of these. I wonder how long it will take this time.' Quinn thought.
However, when the amulet lit up, the light from it soon faded away. He found himself with a notification screen that put a grin on his face.

There was something Quinn needed to see quickly, and the first thing was how easy it was to control two Dalki simultaneously. Quinn found it difficult, and the easiest thing to do was to try and puppet one of their movements while giving simple commands to the other.
The good thing was that even if Quinn was in complete control of One Dalki, he could still puppet the other relatively well.
”Alright, Vincent, it's time I leave everything over to you. Just please, don't do anything weird while you're in my body.” Quinn asked.
When the shadow void field went down, two Dalki were seen jumping off in the distance, and the plan was in motion.
”What the hell was that?” Iree asked.
”Don't worry about that, beautiful, just some things I can do. Leave that ship to them.” Vincent said, making Iree blush.
