Chapter 19: Guardian spirits
'Level...? How does he know?! Could it be....he also has a system like mine...?' Quinn was too confused right now to even move, and because of that he was hit with Zayne's attack.
[-760 HP]
'Damn that hurt... but it also woke me up' Quinn thought as he got up. "Sen! I'm leaving Luna to you...!".
"Now ain't the time to be taking to others!" Zayne shouted as he dashed towards him and threw out another punch, but Quinn dodged.
Sen who was still on the ground, was watching the both of them going all out. 'I need to patch the wound up for Luna' he thought as the wound was being covered up with metal.
'Sorry but... I need to help him out'
"What's this...? Huh?! Did you not get a month to level up?!" Zayne shouted as if he was disappointed. 'A month?'.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Quinn shouted back, "if you are talking about the ring... I only got it a week ago".
'I don't know how he knows but.... this just means that there are more people with a system out there. And they could be like this guy here... wanting to kill me...!'
"You...do you really not know what's going on....?" Zayne suddenly stopped and asked, "Then tell me what family you're from".
'Family...'
"Maw.... the Maw family"
"Maw...Maw? Hmmm....Ah!" Zayne exclaimed as if he remembered something, "kuhahaha....HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ahhh... to think that I'd meet the son of those damn traitors!" he started laughing again. 'Traitors...? What... does he mean'
"What do you mean by... TRAITORS?" Quinn asked desperately.
"Figures, of course they won't tell you...fine, you'll understand what I'm saying if they at least teached you the basics" Zayne said as he loosened up a bit from his fighting stance.

There were 6 ring that were artifacts made by gods: the plain ring, the Blood ring, the Nature's ring, the Destruction ring, the Gaia ring, and the Abyssal ring.
The plain ring was made for the 'heartless and selfish' humans.
The Blood ring for the 'blood sucking' Vampires.
The Natures' ring for the 'elegant but prideful' Elves.
The Destruction ring for the 'Blood thirsty' Werewolfs.
The Gaia ring for the 'advanced' Dwarves.
The Abyssal ring for the 'mysterious and unknown' Shadows which were long extinct.
———
"The Abyssal ring had been locked away but your parents, the descendants of the Shadows, stole it and retreated back to Earth.
Even though they were the descendants of those terrifying and powerful Shadows, they were treated like insects"
'So that why... there was a question mark at the end of human in the status tab' Quinn thought, "So... I'm part shadow as well?".
"Yeah... you are" Zayne replied to the question,
"Enough chit-chat... come on!".
"Quinn...! He's really fast, don't let your gaurd down" Sen said as he ran towards the two.
"Zayne... out of all those races, what are you...?" Quinn asked him. "Me? I'm just a human".
Quinn had already decided to think about all of the things that he has heard just now, after the fight ends.
'Darkened hand'
[-70 mana]
As Quinn rushed towards Zayne, he activated his shadow and kept it hidden.
Zayne had also started running towards Quinn. 'What...why is he running towards me? Quinn thought,' maybe it's a trap... I'll pretend that I didn't notice'.
When he was close enough, Quinn used 'Shadow blade' before Zayne could even stop. And that resulted in the blade piercing through his chest.
'It... wasn't a trap?! There's no way...! he must be planning something' was the first thought that came into his mind.
"I have to admit... you got me, I didn't expect you to have a skill like this" Zayne whispered.
'Whaat...'
"But...! it'll definitely take more than this to kill me" he shouted as the blade started to slowly disappear and eventually shatter.
When the blade shattered Zayne ran towards Quinn again. As he was running, swords were being flung at him. It was Sen using his ability. "You...stay out of this damn it!" Zayne shouted as he changed his direction towards Sen and jumped at him.
Sen was damaged enough to disable him from moving so he couldn't resist. Just as he closed his eyes, prepared to die, another blade pierced Zayne. This one was aimed at his leg and it went through with ease, passing through his thigh.
"Did you forget that I was here?" Quinn said with a smile one his face from behind. "Fuck...!" Zayne cried out, "you....you'll pay for this! Before my spirit absorbs yours, I'll be sure to give you special attention...!"
While his head was turned towards Quinn, Sen made another sword and thrust it at him. It took almost no time for his mouth to fill up with blood.
Quinn knew that Zayne was standing near the line. The line that the dead cross. "Sen! wait".
So he thought that he would finish it on his own. Of course he didn't want to waste precious EXP just waiting to be collected. "Quinn are you sure? I could handle the burden for you, you know...."
"It's fine" he replied as he took out his dagger which looked like its handle was covered in bloody rags. It was the 'Berserker claw blade' he had gotten from defeating the instant dungeon boss. The Crazed Lycan.
He then moved closer towards Zayne and asked: "What level are you?".
"Heh...I'm level...34"
"Then what about your stats? What was the main stat that you invested into"
"Intelligence...and Agility" he replied again without making things any more difficult.
"Hmm... that's all for the questions"
"What...?! Don't you wanna find out more information about your parents or anything?!"
"I do... but I don't think you'd know anymore than this much"
"N-NO...! I HAVE INFORMATION! I KNOW EVERYTHING... SO JUST PLEASE LET M-"
Not even getting to finish his sentence, his head was cut clean and got detached from his body. "Thank you for the information"
