Chapter 1499 - A Unique Beast (2/2)
The meeting was taking place in the control room. In this room, one could see the front of the ship and the space outside in front of them. It looked like the vampires had crafted a special seat on the ship just for Quinn, and he could see it was something that had newly been implemented.
”Please, sit sir.” Earl Ronsten gestured towards the seat.
”And all of you are going to stand?” Quinn replied, finding the whole thing awkward. ”Don't worry, I appreciate the gesture and I have two working legs just fine. So about this Nest Crystal that you found. I'm guessing you had some difficulties, if you could please explain.”
The second, Quinn asked this question, Viscount Norvic just scoffed. It was unclear if it was at the remark Quinn had made or an accident, but the other Viscount next to him, Nian, gave him a stare that would cause most people to back away.
”Discovering the crystal was not the problem, and honestly, most of the beasts that were on the planet were easy to defeat. However, as we got closer to the Nest Crystal, there was something strange that happened.” Ronsten explained.
”The beasts near the area were getting stranger, and then we could finally see it, trouble that faced us all. Even with our abilities and strength, this task seemed like an impossible one without any of the leaders' help.”
”Yes, and it still seems impossible.” Norvic replied. ”But there was one that was insistent in us finding the Nest Crystal and bringing them back to them straight away. So we went ahead anyway, despite knowing the dangers and came out far more hurt.”
”Norvic, please, the king has his own reasons for wanting the Nest Crystal!” Ronsten shouted.
”And what is that?” Norvic replied. ”Please tell us while everyone is off fighting including the leaders that this crystal is so important, and why we couldn't just continue searching rather than be sent on this death quest.”
It looked like finally Nian was going to step in as she stood infant of Norvic and looked at him, but Quinn instead cleared his throat.
”I understand your worry, you just care for your family vampires and that is a good trait to have. I like that.” Quinn replied. ”But it would be best if you tell everything you know, so we are prepared, and more importantly, I can protect you all.”
There was silence from the others in the room, until Ronson eventually started speaking again.
”The beasts we were fighting, the reason they felt a little off was because they were special beasts being produced by the Nest Crystal and protecting them. Beasts that we call, doppelganger. We don't know what tier they are at, but whoever the beast faced it was able to copy the opponent in front of them, and equal them in strength. It was something that seemed impossible, but none of us could defeat ourselves. Everyone was even in battle.
”Which is why, we are worried that even with your help, if they can truly copy anyone's strength including yours, we will still be unable to complete this task.”
