Chapter 191 Unique skill
It had been a while since Quinn had last fought, and that was against Fex. Before that, it was against the one scale Dalki. During both of these fights, he realised that he needed to get stronger.
He knew he still had a long way to go, but with everything that was happening, he wasn’t sure if he had gotten any stronger. He needed this fight to gauge just how much he had improved.
Since the last ti he played the ga, he had gained a few extra stats, buffing up his body and his abilities. Even though he couldn’t use his shadow skills in the ga, he liked that it would force him to be creative in using his blood skills while fighting. All these things combined was what led him to coming up with the new skill in today’s match.
[New skill: Blood Crescent Kick]
"A new skill but how?" Quinn thought. It was the first ti a skill had popped up without him having levelled up. He also didn’t increase any stats to get the skill either.
"Impressive!" The system said, "It seems like you managed to create a unique skill. This is a skill that you made all on your own, one that was not part of the system originally."
By combining the martial art skills Leo had taught him with the Blood Swipe skill he had learned from the system, he had created a unique skill only he could use.
[Blood Crescent Kick: When using the skill while performing different types of kicks. A red line of blood aura in the shape of a crescent will be made. The attack carries a distance of ten ters but the aura will get smaller and weaker the further it travels. Cost: minus 2 HP for every kick]
Compared to the Blood Swipe skill the two attacks were quite different. Blood Swipe released from Quinn’s finger tips, forming a claw like shape, and five small lines of red aura. He could also use Blood Swipe with both of his hands and bring the lines closer together to form a single stronger red line. However, this didn’t seem to be as effective as two single Blood Swipes.
The good thing about blood Swipe was that because it had five separate lines, it covered a wider range, making it harder for a person to dodge, and they were more likely to use a block skill.
While the Blood Crescent Kick was a single large line of red aura. It was sharper, faster, and also had longer range, but didn’t have the sa wide area of attack. There was also the fact that it cost 2 HP to use the kick instead of just 1 HP for a Blood Swipe.
This didn’t look like a lot at first, but Quinn knew that in a prolonged fight, like he had against the Dalki, it would soon add up fast. It was one of the main problems with combining Blood spray into his punches.
Fex having witnessed the whole thing was quite amazed. ’Did he co up with that skill himself? When did he have the ti to learn it? I saw him learn the leg kicks at the sa ti as , and how does he know how to use advanced skills like the flash step? Yet he doesn’t even know the basic hand to hand combat of the vampires.’
As he was deep in thought, he heard a laugh by his side. "It looks like another one has been converted into a fan," Nate said, "You wouldn’t believe it, but every ti he fights he shows sothing new, this kid is growing stronger fast."
"Every ti?" Fex replied, "Are you sure he didn’t just use these skills before?"
"I’m positive," Nate replied. "The first ti we fought I beat him, I beat him in such a way that made sure he showed everything he had. But then I watched him fight against soone else, and he showed a new skill, if he had used that in our fight, I don’t know how it would have... Looking at him now he’s like an entirely different person from back then."
If what Nate was saying was true, Quinn was getting stronger at an incredibly fast pace. One that hadn’t been seen throughout the history of the vampires. ’Perhaps he is related to them, hmm... But I thought they all died out, if it’s true, it would make sense why he has the shadow ability. Did they just move to earth instead?’
Quinn then sent a ssage to Fex, saying he was free to play a few gas of his own if he wanted to. Right now Quinn wanted to practise this move.
Fex replied back, saying it was okay, and he would wait as he wished to watch Quinn fight a couple more tis.
Quinn went into his next match making ga again, and with it, the crowd had followed. At first, he found it strange, seeing the people watching him. Since he had never played the ga before, he was wondering if it was normal for so many people to be spectating one person.
Did they randomly stumble upon his match, or were they there because he had been on a winning streak for a while now, hoping he would eventually lose.
However, Quin didn’t have ti to worry about them, and really needed to worry about himself. The next ga he was placed with a level two. Knowing he would get no experience in this match he tried to finish it as quickly as possible.
Activating the wind walk skill in his boots to get in close. Then using Flash Step, and performing the regular Hamr Strike from behind. Hamr Strike and Blood Hamr where still by far his two strongest attacks.
For Fex though, it was the first ti he had witnessed Quinn using them. He never used it against him in their fight, possible because Fex was too fast, because Hamr Strike took a brief mont to charge up. Against these weak people it was fine, but against soone as fast as Fex it would allow them to get in a free hit.
’So he does know the vampire martial arts?!’ Fex thought, "Arghh!" He scread, as he felt like pulling out his hair. "You know what, I’m going to have to just stop guessing and find out myself."
Two more matches where made and this ti they were with another Level three user and a Level four user. These matches were closer and took more ti but they weren’t as strong as they could have been.
Rarely did Quinn get matched up with second years who seed to have higher tier beast equipnt. Quinn could only assu that the system had designed it this way on purpose or just not many second years were playing the ga. If there was one person who would know, it would be Logan, he made a ntal note to ask him later.
After winning the two matches he had gained twenty more experience points and had decided to take a break.
[100/400 EXP]
Just as he was leaving the ga, he had received a single ssage from Nate. "I’ll see you soon, and make sure you join the fighting event." Quinn had rembered Nate quite clearly. It was another loss that had stuck in his mind.
And judging by this ssage, Quinn knew exactly what he was talking about. The upcoming military base event. Soon all the bases would et up to compete in special events, each trying to show that they were able to raise the best and strongest students.
Quinn was excited for once, perhaps with this event, he would finally be able to show his strength.
