Chapter 1411 - Special Blood (1/2)

A while ago Vincent had made the suggestion that Quinn should make a Blood gauntlet. For one, Blood weapons were in some cases just as strong or even stronger than beast weapons depending on the grade of crystal they were created with. Although they did have one downside, for them to use their full potential they needed to be activated with blood. However, as long as it was fresh it worked with all kinds of blood and Dalki blood in particular also gave them an extra boost.

Since Quinn would be fighting against the Dalki, it seemed to be the perfect type of weapon that could be used as a replacement for his old gauntlet that he had to give up due to his system's penalty. His left hand had felt quite bare for a while now.

At the same time, this wouldn't be a weapon created from just an ordinary Blood crystal, but from none other than Jim Eno, the creator of Dalki.

'I don't know why, but the thought of having a weapon made from Jim Eno, the person who caused all this mess and killing those Dalki with them, pleases me in some way.' Quinn thought, as he headed outside to meet up with the two.

'That sounds quite dark, but I like it.' Ray commented. 'Ga, ga, ga, ga.'

After having just got Vincent out of his head, Quinn had to remind himself to suppress his thoughts a bit more, otherwise a certain someone would be able to hear him. Even then there was one thing that he couldn't get used to, and that was Ray's laugh.

'Who laughs like that, ga, ga, ga?' Quinn wondered, yet he got no answer this time.

Regardless, he had come outside to meet someone and the Vampire King could see that Alex had already arrived, though it was via ship rather than over the teleporter. Not only that but the people that had come with him seemed to be soldiers, who were too afraid to leave the ship.

”Don't mind them.” Alex said as he greeted Quinn. ”They're just afraid of this place, but I can't really blame them since they're from the Earthborn group. Anyway, look at you, I saw the broadcast about you becoming King and everything! Do I need to start calling you Your Majesty as well now?” Alex started to pat his back a few times, and then wondered if that was really okay, or if he had committed some type of grave offence.

He had to remember that his very existence was taboo to the vampires, but he was sure that Quinn wouldn't enforce that rule.

'Right?' Alex gulped for a second.

Although the two weren't perhaps as close as others with Quinn, Alex still saw the Cursed faction leader as someone who had changed his life in more ways than one, and when the two of them spoke they had no filter with each other.

Alex had only been away for a while because he had been helping out Andrew, who had been tasked with helping the Earthborn group create some weapons, but he was finally back in his rightful place, by Quinn's side making him the best weapons possible.

”Yeah..I guess a lot did happen.” Quinn replied, as he looked behind him and onto the ship. The vampire could feel it almost instantly and it was the first time he could ever sense a blood weapon before he had touched it.

”I see you're just as excited as I am, well I have a nice surprise for you.” Alex's wings quickly flapped about, lifting him into the air. He whizzed straight back to the ship, and had brought back what was clearly a gauntlet placed underneath a cloth.

This time there was only one weapon, adn Quinn wondered why there was any need to bother with the cloth trick he usually would do, because he already knew what it was.

While watching Alez return with ease, stopping quickly and landing, Quinn could see that It was clear that not once had Alex stopped practice with his wings, making him a lot better at flying. The Blood fairy seemed to be faster and more agile than any of the winged transformations Quinn had ever seen before. Watching him like this, Quinn mused that if Alex ever decided to become a fighter instead of a forger, he probably would be able to launch devastating aerial attacks.

However, that would be truly a waste of his talents.

Once again, Alex carefully lifted the cloth pulling it quickly off in one smooth motion revealing the single gauntlet underneath. It wasn't a pair like it would be before, which made Quinn believe that perhaps it could even be stronger.

”This is probably one of the best looking gauntlets I have ever created. It took some time, but that was mainly because the Blood crystal you gave me was far denser compared to the others. There was so much energy overflowing and I wanted to use it properly.” Alex explained while Quinn stared at all its details.

Usually, the blood weapons tended to be red in colour, or if Alex added his fairy blood to the mix it would be red as well. Something Quinn had requested to be done with every single weapon Alex made.

Strangely, this weapon was mainly black in colour instead. The hand placement was so fine and looked light and thin. If Quinn were to wear it, it would be hard to tell that it was a weapon and not a glove.

Then the rest of the gauntlet design was interesting to say the least. From the wrist, there were two overlapping spiralling parts. It looked like two snakes or dragons intertwining as it moved up the forearm part, and then towards the elbow it would split off, bending inward looking like two giant ram horns.
