Chapter 1571 - How Long? (2/2)

Her hands were tense, and others perhaps would have thought it was because she was worried about the Dalki in front of her, but instead, it was something else.

The group used this chance to run forward together, but they saw that more Dalki ships were landing. A few of them were worried that Erin might not be strong enough to deal with the incoming Dalki on her own.

They even paused as they had entered the settlement and turned around.

”We will stay and fight,” Jin said as he stood with the rest of the vampire leaders. ”This is our home to protect, and that is our king. Besides, we have help on the way.”

Looking up, they could see multiple ships returning. It was the rest of the vampires, including the royal knight Muka. They were returning not just to help but because they were coming home. Seeing this, they were more confident.

”Fex, you should go with them.” Silver said. ”He's your blood brother, right, and maybe they can do something, but if they can't, it will be your last chance to say goodbye.”

Fex wanted to stay with his sister, but she was right, this was a crucial moment for him, and he decided to follow the rest inside. Before they headed to the lab, Layla glanced in the distance at Erin for a second.

'I feel like you should be with us as well, but I can tell… you're not coming with us for a reason, right, Erin? Is what they said... is true...that you can't control it anymore?' She thought but quickly turned around, realising she needed to focus on someone more important right now.

The group followed Vincent and Logan and eventually found themselves in the special lab - the lab where all the clones were made. The process was automatic, so even now, they could produce clones, and for most of them, it was tempting to consume some blood because of their current weakened state.

Thankfully, Vincent said they did have containers in the lab that they could eat from. At the same time, the others were recharging themselves, Logan and Vincent got to work. They placed Quinn on a special bed. There was an experimental room at the back of the main factory of the lab.

Perhaps to see if they could improve the process or something else. Still, it was perfect for them. The computer monitored Quinn's state, and the two were gathering information. And finally, they took out the Crystal from the factory and ran a few tests on Quinn to test his condition.

The others could only wait patiently for the news while the fighting continued outside, but it didn't take long for them to get an answer.

”Guys…right now, Quinn's body is incredibly weak.” Vincent started to explain out loud for the others to hear. ”The signs of his current state are similar to when vampires go into an eternal slumber. It's almost as if his body had decided to put him in one forcefully. Usually, a drop of blood from the same family line, even those that he had created, would work, but in this case, it doesn't seem to be the case.”

”As for the Nest Crystal.” Logan took over. ”The good news is the energy is being transferred over to Quinn when it's next to him. It seems to have a good effect on bringing his body back to the way it was. Perhaps this might even wake him up, but there are two things we really don't know.

”One of them is how much of the nest crystal is needed for him to absorb before he can wake up. Would absorbing the whole of the nest crystal even wake him up? On top of that, perhaps his body still needs rest to recover from what has happened.

”And the second is the rate of absorption. Due to Quinn's weak body, the Crystal is absorbing at a prolonged rate. For now, Vincent has suggested that we put him in one of the Tenth family's chambers, along with the Crystal, allowing his body to absorb it.”

The others were silent for a while as they processed what the two of them were telling them. After all, Vincent and Logan were the most intelligent people the group knew.

”So..are you saying Quinn will have to go into eternal slumber in those chambers...and with the nest crystal. When you say that the absorption rate is slow...how long...how long will it take for him to absorb the whole Crystal at the rate he is absorbing it now?” Sam asked.

”It's hard to say,” Logan replied. ”The absorption rate could improve as Quinn's condition improves. His body might start to recover even quicker; there are too many variables we can't account for, but if he is the way he is right now…ten years...yeah, it will take at least ten years to absorb the whole Crystal.”
