One of the people who used the biggest amount of dragon blood was Thomas, he even used the body temepering technique with the help of Dan, all of that was because Dan wanted his ability to got stronger, because he was a corner stone of whatever they were going to do.
He's ability was one of the factors which could make Dan's team a power not to mess with.
Dan soon found him after asking around a bit, he was told that some people saw him leave to his room as soon as Randy started talking.
Dan knocked on his room and soon Thomas opened the door, he wasn't surprised it seemed that expected Dan to come to him.
"You don't seem so surprised?" Dan said while stepping in.
"You said that six people were going with you, get Randy only called five so I guessed that I must be the sixth." Thomas said.
"Well you were right, I need you to go with us, I saw that the village have a blacksmith so you will finally have the chance to use your ability, I know that you have been dieing to use it." Dan said with a smile.
Thomas just nodded toward that, he really looking forward to using it, ever since his ability awakened he had that need to make, to build, to create something, and the more blood baths he used the stronger that need became.
"Anything you want to take with you?" Dan asked.
"Some dragon teeth, bones a few scales and skin, also can I take Leonard with me?" Thomas said afyer thinking for a while before answering.
Dan found the first two things normal but when Thomas asked if he can take Leonard with him he didn't know what to say, but he soon understood what he meant.
In terms of control over his ability, Leonard was on another level all together, even in Area 02, for people who has just awakened their ability just a few months ago like Leonard to have his level of control was almost unheard of.
So Leonard wanting him to help with the weapon forging was understandable, yet if Leonard left the ship, it will be much weaker.
Dan had to think for a while and Thomas didn't rush him he understood that letting Leonard leave the ship was a hard choice to make but he needed him.
Soon Dan lifted his head and asked:
"How long do you think the forging of the weapon will take you? With and without Leonard's help."
Thomas fall silent for a little while before saying:
"Without him I think that I don't really know how long it would take me because I haven't seen the blacksmith they have there, but with him I think that it would take me around a week or so, which I'm sure will be way faster than whatever the time it would take me without him."
Hearing that Dan smiled bitterly and said:
"You are making this harder you know."
After that he turned seriouce and said:
"Ok, you will have him be with you, but can you be sure that you will be able to make a soul weapon if you have him."
"I don't know if I can, but my goal in life right now is to make one, so I will do my best and even if I won't be able to make one I will try again and again till I do it." Thomas said with a determined expression on his face.
"That's enough for me." Dan said with a smile.
He asked Thomas that quistion even though he knew that no one can be sure about making a soul weapon because he knew that one of the things which a creator needs to make a soul weapon is the will and determination to do so, thing he was able to see that Thomas didn't leak.
"Ok, get ready while I go tell Leonard about this." Dan added before turning around and leaving.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Again he had to go and find Leonard, fortunately he knew that he probably was still in the dinning room with the others, and as he expected he did find him there.
"Hey, Leonard you will be joining us, Thomas needs you in his refinmaent, you have no problem with that right?" Asked Dan while he stopped in front of Leonard.
"Not really, I'm actually happy that I can leave the ship, I was getting envious heheh..." Chuckled Leonard.
"The ship can be in some danger because of that, but we need the soul weapons and we need as much as of them as soon as possible, so we have to gamble." Added Randy.
After seeing that Dan looked at old Frank and ordered:
"After we leave be sure to ask Robert to move the ship as far as possible from the shore, you need to spend the night as far from the forest as possible, we don't know what might happen when the night come, who knows maybe some weird amphibious insects would appear at night."
The others nodded at what he said, they had to understand that night in Area 10 was different, that it was more dangerous than the day by a lot.
Soon enough everyone and everything was ready, the blood power users were all eager for the fight, espicaily that all the ones Randy and Mad Dog chose were people who fought in real life and death fights and who didn't have the chance to relive themselves of their pent up feeling and urge to fight, without mentioning how they all got stronger and they have no idea how strong they really were.
So the chance they got did really make some of the old blood power users who weren't chosen feel bad, but what could they do? They could only wait for their turn.
After three hours of them reaching the ship, and as the sun started setting.
Nero and Robin stood together and when Dan nodded Robin teleported with Nero.
Soon he returned and told the people there:
"Nero said that there are no people there, we are safe."
"Ok, let's move." Dan nodded.
Robin touched him and both disappeared.
Mad Dog was the last one to appear in the forest, when he did the first thing he did was look around him, dumbfound.
He did see the forest from far away, but that was it, far away, seeing it up close was a while different thing for even Nero and the others, not to mention someone who lived most of his life underground, another thing which made him surprised was the air.
It was so fresh and he felt more energized than ever.
He wasn't the only one acting like that, everyone except Dan's group who left for the first time were like that.
Dan waited for them to return to their senses before saying to Robin:
"Go bring the things which Thomas chose, after that we will move."
Robin didn't say anything he just teleported away before returning again with three dragon teeth, three scales, a piece of its skin.
They split them amongst themselves before starting to move towards the village.
Alexander was making the last preparation before the sun set, like making sure the traps were in their locations, and in a good shape.
From time to time he would think about the weird group of travellers he met the day before.
He was surprised when they told him that they actually had a ship and more of them were on it, and said that some of them can come to help, if it was any other, he wouldn't have accepted neither would have his dad, but it was different than, they were suffering and the attacks were getting stronger and stronger.
He also though about what happened that morning after they left.
So they don't notice them he asked from the best scouting and tracking team to follow them after around an hour of them leaving.
What was weird was that the scouting team didn't find any trace of them, no they did find their tracks, and they did follow them, but not long after that they found that the group seemed as if they disappeared into thin air, their traces just disappeared without leaving any indication of which way they took.
He looked at the sky and saw that the sun was slowly moving towards the West, it was going to set soon, and yet there was no sign of them returning.
Just as he though of that he heard movement in the forest in front of him, moving slowly and cautiously to hid behind a big tree next to him, but as he was moving he heard a familiar voice:
"Alexander it's just us don't worry."
Hearing the voice he sighed, it was the voice of Dan the leader of the weird group of travellers.
"You returned, did you bring some help?" He asked, awaiting a negative answer, after all who would be able to move from the village to the shore and return in just a few hours?
"We did bring a few people, let's hope that this will be enough." Dan, who finally appeared in front of him.
He was surprised by what he said but than he saw the people with him and he started wondering if he made the right choice. All those people seemed... Dangerous to say the least.
Many of them had big and scary scars, and from what he knew those scars were from sharp objects against other humans and that made him quite on guard against them.
"Are you heading to the village yet?" Dan added after he saw that he didn't answer.
"Yes, let's return together." He answered him.
He was afraid that Dan's team had some other agendas for their own, and in case that was true he wanted to be in the village if they decided to do anything.
They soon reached the village, Alexander looked around him and saw expressions he had become used to in the last month, those expressions of worry and fear.
Of course they weren't like this when the problem started, but with time and with many nights passing, those expressions strated appearing and they became worst with the end of each fight and the death of more people, and yet he could do nothing except try his best in all what he could do, to try and give them hope.
Unfortunately no matter how much he tried, it seemed that they were still going to lose some people that night too.
