Chapter 1364 - Save The Settlement (Part 2) (1/2)

[Shadow overload skill activated]

Shadow started to surround Quinn's body, giving him the shadow body. Now, with unlimited use of the shadow, Quinn raised it, hoping to block out the attack.

At the same time, the other ball of red Aura was heading towards Bryce. His body was weak. He could still use his blood powers, but moving was straining his body all over. Still, even using absolute blood control would do nothing to move the attack coming from Laxmus.

”It looks like this might be my end,” Bryce said. ”At least I got to see that damned punisher hurt.”

As both of the balls of Aura came towards Bryce, all he could see was red until a figure stood in front of him. She placed her hands on the ground creating a blood wall, using all the power she could, and then stood up, spreading her arms.

”KAZZ! DO NOT WASTE YOUR LIFE HERE, GIRL!” Bryce shouted.

A tear could be seen falling from her face.

”They still need you to defeat him. I am just doing my duty, to protect the king. Goodbye…father.” Kazz said, closing her eyes. Ready for her life to disappear.

”He's right, don't be stupid; you should leave this to the old fools like us.” A voice said, now standing in front of Kazz.

”Get behind me, and stay still!” Paul shouted. He unleashed all of his red Aura and the poison from his body. Creating almost a second barrier between the two of them. The red Aura hit them, and the power looked to have nearly consumed them whole from the outside.

Those from the outside could just see a giant ball of red Aura. As for where Quinn was, he had summoned the shadow. It was holding out, but Quinn was wondering for how long.

'Is this going to take all my MC cells after this, after this attack?'

Finally, both balls of red Aura started to disappear, and Laxmus had landed back on the ground, laughing where he stood.

”Look at that!” Laxmus said. ”Just two attacks and the strongest vampires in the whole settlement have practically come to an end.”

Laxmus' laughing had soon stopped, when he could see that a young man stood in front of Arthur. Shadows were covering his body, and Arthur was standing well by his side.

”Well, looks like at least some of you have some strength, and I would expect no less from my own power,” Laxmus said, turning to look at how the others had handled his attack. Here he could see that Bryce was hurt, but he wasn't dead.

The skin from his face had partially peeled off, but he was standing just fine.

”You stupid girl!!!” Bryce shouted out in anger, but he could hear the sound of crying.

”Why….why did you save me!” Kazz couldn't stop crying. The sounds of her cry were partly muffled due to the person who had completely covered her with his entire body. It was none other than Paul.

He had hugged Kazz, forcing his body to cover for her in the attack, but that left Paul with his whole body destroyed from the Aura. The Aura was so strong, and with each passing second, his body was breaking off into pieces as if his body had turned into ashes.

”Why…why!” Kazz cried on her knees and tried to hug Paul back, but as she did, her hands went through his body, and the remains of him fell to the ground.

Kazz wasn't free from injuries either, her outer skin was burnt, and everyone imagined it must have hurt, but she couldn't feel the pain on her body. She could only feel the pain in her heart. She didn't realise it, but Paul had become someone dear to her.

Memoires start to flash through her head, of all the lessons he had tried to teach her when she was part of the Cursed faction. He was also always looking out for her back then, and even in the vampire settlement.

”You….were like a…like a…” Kazz couldn't even finish her words. It hurt so much as she grasped at her chest.

Ashley, who was next to Paul before he had decided to run in, had heard his last few words at the side.

”I'm sorry for abandoning you all like this,” Paul said. ”Please look after them all. I know Quinn will do a good job, but they need you as well and please…when you get back, tell my daughter I love her. Sorry I won't be able to see her face again.”

Ashley's tears couldn't stop, and it was the same for his men, who had decided at that moment to all salute their head general. For the time they had served with him and to show respect.

[A family member has died.]

The notification screen had appeared, and seeing the peoples reaction by the side and how he was unable to summon one of his knights, he knew who it was.

'Paul…Paul…'

”Paul!!!” Quinn shouted out.
