Chapter 1431: The strong vampire
Lately, it seemed like Quinn was learning more and more about this mysterious power known as Qi. A power that humans themselves had developed for years. It was so mystically strange and powerful that it made Quinn wonder at times what would have been the situation on Earth if everyone had learned it.
Perhaps they would have even been able to defend themselves better. Still, it didn't seem like his mysterious ancestor, who existed during the era of Dragons, knew about the mysterious power, and it was a first for him.
'Qi drain... you know about Qi?' Quinn asked.
'Yes, mana energy obtained from the outside and the world itself, while Qi was internal energy within oneself. The way these people look, I've seen it before. Without a doubt, this is the effect of Qi drain.' Ray started to explain.
'It was a skill that I used a lot against my enemies. The skill is kind of similar to your gauntlet, only far more advanced, and there is no need to have any equipment to use it either.
'The skill allows you to steal Qi from another person and add it to your own. You are not borrowing it, rather forcefully taking it away from the other person, to the point where they can no longer gather Qi in their body. At the same time, it increases yours. Now you know Qi's other name, don't you?'
Thinking about this, Quinn was reminded of the time when Lucy, Layla's mother, had died. She called Qi life energy and gave it to her daughter.
'When there's no more Qi to take, then it starts to take their life energy as well.' Quinn said.
Quinn sighed upon hearing these words, 'But how come from so many people? Is the amount of Qi they can take unlimited?'
'No.' Ray replied. 'In my case, I was special, but even then, there were times when my body couldn't handle the amount of Qi.' Ray replied.
It reminded me of Quinn when he had absorbed blood. It was the same for him, with each evolution, his body could handle a bit more from last time.
'From what I see, we can assume that these dead people in this room perhaps didn't learn Qi in the first place; in other words, the Qi inside them was extremely scarce. Which was why, perhaps, the enemy had to also resort to taking their life energy as well.'
If he had just heard about a skill, perhaps Quinn wouldn't have believed it, but recalling about the time when Lucy did something similar, and now seeing this scene in front of him, it made him think that there had to be others that had this knowledge of how to transfer Qi and take Qi.
The signs were still pointing to Pure, and perhaps they had taken all those from this Lab to drain them. The bodies, it was hard to tell how long they had been in such a state, but the skin didn't look too deteriorated.
Quinn could do nothing since there was no information on these people; he couldn't give them the same treatment as he had done the girls. In the first place, he was worried about messing with this place.
In the future, he might have to come again with Logan just to find out what the Board members were doing before Pure came and interrupted things. The other worrying thing was that all this information was in Pure's hands as well.
'How involved are Pure with the Board members... Do they now control all of their families, including all the assets from behind the scenes while everyone is fighting, sacrificing their lives against the Dalki?
'Pure has been taking over Earth bit by bit and getting stronger..what is this crap!' Quinn was beyond annoyed if this was the case.
Although not a direct enemy, Pure was starting to get under his skin, even more so than the meddling Vampires of the past.
