face of relief.
Instead, there was a bead of sweat dripping down from the side of his face, and opening his mouth, he suddenly spoke a few words the others never thought they would hear.

“I give up,” Vincent coughed.

He spoke seemingly to no one.
He wasn’t even looking at the guardians that were lined up on the other side.

“I’m the reason you came here, right.
So I will leave with you, as long as you cause no harm to the others and this city.”

“Otherwise, I won’t go down without a fight.
Or I will ensure it won’t be as easy as you think.”

“What are you saying?!” Jessica couldn’t help but shout out.
“If you’re worried about the guardians, we can fight against them.
We aren’t that weak!”

She couldn’t remain calm after hearing Vincent’s words.
Even though she didn’t know why the Red Vampires were here or what they were doing, she knew that they were the ones that had attacked.
After seeing this vampire display such resistance against them in the first place and seemingly defeating the biggest threat, she didn’t understand what was going on.

That was until a shadow began to appear above the hole that was created a few moments ago.
It was dark in colour, almost a solid black like the shadow of the others.
Then stepping out from it was Laxmus, who flapped his large wings on his back a few times, hovering in place.

He held the sword in his hand, which was still transformed and was surging with the white energy.
but the rest of Laxmus’s body was just fine.

“He used the shadow lock to avoid the attack.” Vincent had realised this before.

“I was hoping he would be confident in his skills to try and take it head-on… but Laxmus is much more cautious than I thought.
With the shadow and his strength, there is too much risk.”

Flying over the large hole, Laxmus landed on the arena and retracted his wings back into his body while twisting his head from side to side.

“I will take you up on your offer,” Laxmus said with a smile.
“Besides, you have given me a nice gift to take back.”

Vincent started walking over to where Laxmus was, but of course, others began to move.
For one, Peter had taken a step, and the rest were ready to follow.

“Don’t be an idiot,” Vincent suddenly said.

“I know you have been reckless for most of your lives, and all of you want to act with your feelings, but you should use your heads for once.
This is the right choice… the only one to make.”

“And do you all want to die here? Then imagine what would happen next.” Vincent added without turning back, not looking at the others.

But it sounded like his words had gotten through because not a single one of them moved forward.

The shadow on Laxmus’s back was still active till this point, but seeing how they were listening to Vincent, he decided to put it away.
Behind them, on the row of guardians who had earlier fought against Vincent.

A mask obscured his face, but underneath it, there was a sigh of relief from him as well.

“Thank you for doing the right thing, Vincent.
I promise that Layla and I will do everything we can when you are back to protect you.”

“No matter what, we can’t let Laxmus get his hands on the Red Heart.”

Eventually, Vincent stopped and looked up to Laxmus.
“I hope you are a man of your word.”

“Don’t worry, I am,” Laxmus replied.
“In return for you, I will not harm them or the people in this city.
You are the only person I need in the first place, anyway.”

Suddenly, Laxmus thrusted his black hand that was still active at that moment.
It moved at lightning speed, faster than the others had seen Laxmus move before, and even Vincent failed to react in time as his eyes were wide open.

Blood suddenly spilled out of his mouth, and he coughed up.
In the next instant, everyone found that Laxmus’s hand had gone right through Vincent’s chest, and on the other side was a red crystal in Laxmus’s hand.

“My time is over now!” Vincent struggled to say, he knew it was already too late, but a smile appeared on his face.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t pass it on to you, and I’m sorry I couldn’t apologise for everything that happened, but it’s all up to you now, Quinn.”
