Chapter 1559 - I Choose... (1/2)
Everything that Graham had said was heard loud and clear by the audience watching the Livestream, and now they knew that it was up to Quinn to decide the fate of the two people in Graham's grasp.
”He has to choose the human. I mean, she is only a child, right? That vampire is clearly an old woman.”
”Do you really think he would? He's the king of the vampires, and if I remember correctly, that woman is one of their leaders. She's an important figure, but that girl…she's nobody. I hate to say it, but I think he might be better off picking the vampire.”
”He could try to save them both, maybe this is too hard of a decision for him, and who knows, Graham might kill them both anyway.”
”If he picks the vampire, then that means that when this whole crap is over, Quinn will always be on the vampire's side, not the humans. I don't care if that girl is a nobody; she's still a child.”
”How many children have already died in this war? How many children have died in the past already? Do you think one more death really matters? The vampire protected us, she led the attack against the Dalki in the war, and now that little brat is just being used as a hostage, that kid is a waste of space.”
Reading all the comments coming in, Bonny couldn't quite believe it. Just moments ago, while Quinn was fighting, they were all united. United and cheering Quinn on, but now Graham had caused a stir between everyone with just a few words.
”He's not just thinking about now; Graham's thinking about the future as well. He doesn't believe this will be the last fight and is still trying to pit us against each other.” Bonny said.
Although Quinn had no clue what the world's reaction was at the moment, he had an idea since he knew it was all being filmed, and being put in this position, it was his job to make it clear to everyone and what action to take next.
”For me, the answer is simple,” Quinn said out loud. ”The vampires are protectors of Humans. We have lived in the shadows, minding our own business, and now that humans need us, we have decided to come forward.
”I'm sure that one of our family leaders will understand because I know she would have fought with her life on the line to save the child in the first place. So I choose to save the young girl.” Quinn said, pointing.
Hearing this, a loud sob came from back in the settlement. Ruby was kneeling over in tears, thankful that her daughter was safe and sound, and those online were quite surprised by Quinn's decision. Most had never expected him to say this, and they were wondering if his words were true.
Were vampires human protectors and not this enemy they were made out to be?
”I see; well, that's your choice then,” Graham said as he dropped Minny to the ground.
But in that second, Quinn raised his hand.
[Shadow lock]
Minny disappeared into the shadow, and just before Graham could squeeze Sunny's head.
[Summon]
Sunny also disappeared from Graham's grasp and appeared right by Quinn's side.
[Shadow lock]
Using the shadow lock again, Quinn also placed her in the shadow.
”I won't play your little game, Graham!” Quinn shouted. ”I got stronger and stronger every day, just so I would never have to see any of them die again, so I chose neither!”
Quinn blasted off from his feet as he kicked the grounds beneath him. He readied his fist, creating a large drill of blood, and it continually swelled around his fist. At the same time, he mixed it with his Qi, creating a balance of blood and aura.
Seeing this for the first time, even for Quinn, something strange happened; the red blood drill had swirls of yellow energy mixing in and around it. Syncing up with the system and also taking the energy from the five spiked Dalki's had given him a boost in power.
”I see, so you seem to have chosen the third option,” Graham said. ”None of you will survive.”
Graham looked at his fist for a second and stood there as Quinn came towards him. Then, Graham threw his own fist right towards Quinn at the right time.
When the two fist's collided, the blood drill energy had almost disappeared, and before Quinn knew it, Graham's fist slammed him with a powerful force, and his body went flying through the air. Blood dripped from his mouth, and his arm was mangled.
At the same time, the power of the punch seemed to have travelled, as it was breaking the very ground of the planet.
”Everyone move!” Sil shouted.
The vampires ran to the two sides of the settlements as the punch continued going forward. The energy slammed right through One Horn's body as if there was no resistance at all, and eventually, it had hit the King's Castle.
When it did, everyone heard a large bang, and the rumbling of the whole settlement continued as they witnessed the king's castle fall just like that in front of their eyes, and all of it happened from just a single punch of Graham.
”Everyone, take the ships and fly out of here. The ground isn't safe; the settlement isn't safe anymore!” Sam ordered.
