my vampire paradigm

With clone Quinn's hand glowing red, he fired out a blood cannon, full of his aura, hitting the demon right in the stomach, sending him up in the air, flying off a great distance. Another tried to leap on top of him, but with his boots he was able to kick up the air, and now was looking down at them all.

As a clone, there were certain skills of the armour that wouldn't work, especially any of the active skills, but with the air walk and silent steps, they still worked even on the clones.

'Their bodies are hard, at my current strength this might not be enough, but let's give it a go.'

From above, with his eyes glowing red, hundreds of swords were being formed, but the demons wouldn't allow him to do this, especially Lexor, as he attacked Quinn in the air above.

However, the shadow raised, and went in front to block the attack. When seeing this though, Lexor moved his hand, and in doing so it looked like the crystal swirled and moved around aiming right for Quinn's chest.

Just in time, the shadow had moved quick enough covering his chest and blocking the attack.

'It looks like that one is a little more skillful compared to the others, but the best thing to do right now is get rid of as many of them as possible.'

The swords began swinging down from the sky, and now it was his turn for a large-scale attack. Some of the demons decided to try and attack the blood swords, but as their crystals hit the swords, they did next to nothing.

While others decided to turtle up. They pulled their legs and arms in, with their face towards the ground and allowed for their red hard crystal backs to face the sky.

Those that hadn't done this, the swords pierced through their bodies, several of them, but the backs of the others were strong enough to block the swords, but not without a few of the crystals on the back cracking or breaking off.

Eventually, the swords raining down had come to an end, and now the ground was a completely different sight compared to what it was before.

'That's good, it looks like I managed to get rid of at least half of them.' The clone thought.

Looking at the ground from above, that was when the clone Quinn had seen something, it was a horrid sight. It was the mountain, the mountain of dead corpses, the heads of the Skullys as well as the dead beasts.

'They have a mountain of the dead piled up like it's some sort of achievement. I guess those that are working for Immortui, have next to no compassion just like him. I won't have to feel bad at all about getting rid of them.'

There were a few that had just been injured rather than killed, so lowering himself to the ground, he had planned to finish them off. Going up to the first one, Quinn had his gauntlets encased in the red aura again, and he could see the demon moving toward him.

He leaned back avoiding a strike, and as he did he smashed right through one's head. He continued as he went toward the next one again, this time the demon didn't move quick enough, and Quinn had already killed another.

Then, once again, another demon had only been injured with the sword going through its thigh, it made a desperate attempt as it lept towards Quinn, and shot out several shards towards him.

Moving from side to side he was able to avoid them all. With his hand building up a blood cannon, the clone was going to deal with it from far range, until it felt something go right through its chest.

It was a crystallised red hand.

'Damn it… this body… is so weak…' Turning his head, the clone looked and noticed that it was the demon that was more crystallised then the others and had a bigger back.

'I knew this one was more troublesome than the others, maybe I should have gotten rid of him first.'

Lexor felt like he had the perfect hit, he had been waiting for the perfect time and moment and he had successfully landed a killing strike. The next moment though, and his target had puffed into nothing but clouds.

When the smoke cleared up, Lexor could see that there was no one in front of him.

"Is he dead?" Lexor thought, turning his head left and right, wondering if he had escaped, but he was unable to see any sign of him, other than the fact that their attack had halted, but now they were now less than a hundred of them.

"He has to be dead, I stabbed him right through the heart." Lexor said to himself. "Still, I can't believe it, how could one person cause all of this damage. This has never happened before.

"At least, we dealt with the problem now… and it wasn't any worse."

Lexor had no idea, because at that moment, just outside of the camp, Anon and a particular person had arrived.… it looks like a giant Skully?'I think you should take a look at

It was just as large as the Yak, but its features were completely different. It had the same half head skull-like design on its head. Rather than horns on top of the skull, this one had a singular horn. 

Then there were its knuckles and hands as well. Part of it was encased in an outer skeleton like design as well, but it was clear that it was the same type of inhabitant as Anon and the others, it was certainly a Skully despite its size.

The chains from the pillars were each wrapped around attached to certain cuffs on parts of its body. Around the wrists and ankles and one around the neck. The Skully in the centre was alive. 

'If I was to guess, I would have to say that this is one of the champions, the one that Anon talked about.' 

Jumping from his position, Quinn landed around twenty metres away from the Skully. Now that he was close, he noticed a few things. One, there was a large circle that had been drawn underneath the Skully, then underneath each of the pillars, each of them had circles drawn under them with symbols as well. 

'Magic circles… I guess it would make sense. If there is someone strong enough to fight against Immortui, then they wouldn't be able to restrict them via normal means.'

The Skully lifted its head, and looked straight at Quinn for a few moments. His eyes were not just staring at his features but almost trying to read him 

"It's been a long time since I have had a visitor." The Skully said. "Who would dare to climb the stairs, when they know what awaits them, are you another demon sent by him? To try and convince me to join you?" 

Based on the context, Quinn knew what this person was talking about. 

"You are one of the champions, correct? I have heard about you from your kind, how you fought against Immortui, and are trapped here because of him." 

The Skully shut up for a moment, because these weren't usually the words spoken by the demons that would come and see him. 

"Who are you?" The Skully asked. 

"Who am I? I don't think who I am would really matter to you, instead I will tell you the reason why I am here." Quinn said. "I am here to take down Immortui, and unlike you, I can not fail, no matter what the cost. nov𝞮𝑙𝑈𝑠𝔟.𝑐/o𝓂

"I was searching for him, and just happened to come across you." 

These words had put a large smile on the Skully's face. 

"You are right, I don't know who you are, but you seem crazy, a bit messed up in the head to say words like that. You really think you can beat Immortui, well, I guess we will soon find out."

Quinn wondered what he meant by those words, and soon saw the magic circle underneath the Skully light up. 

"Whenever someone comes to see me, the demon king, who is here to guard me, is informed. It's been a long time, a very long time, since I have seen the demon king. Let's see how long you will last."
