When fighting, Archer[Quinn] realised something. For one, he wasn't the best when it came to using William[Arthur]'s sword, nor was he as creative as him when using all the other family abilities, and even if he was, Graham was just too fast and skilled for them to work on him well.
In the first place, the sword had already been punched away and was far on the ground somewhere. If Archer[Quinn] attempted to go after it, there was a good chance he would create an opportunity for Graham to injure him when he needed to avoid as many hits as possible.
'The good thing is, although I could still feel pain, while I have the shadow body, I can take a few hits head-on. But my blood powers and strength are less than his, which means I will have to use every skill I have to beat him.'
Before moving forward, Archer[Quinn] summoned countless shadows which appeared all around Graham's position. With the twin tail weapons, Archer[Quinn] started to swing them as swiftly as possible.
Countless slashes of red aura went through the shadow portals and went towards Graham, but he looked unafraid as he decided to run straight towards Archer[Quinn]. While running, the red blood aura hit him all over, but it seemed to do nothing to his skin, only ripping his clothes at most to reveal more of his hard skin underneath.
Suddenly, Graham boosted himself a little, kicking the ground and raising it beneath him. It blocked a lot of the attacks, and in an instant, he was right in front of Archer[Quinn], ready to deliver another punch.
The viewers heard a loud bang as Graham's fist went right through Archer[Quinn]'s head, and then another bang was heard when this punch also reached its target, exploding and destroying everything in sight. Each punch was a deadly blow.
It was clear Graham had the power to destroy castles, Shelters, and everything in a single punch. Watching it all, it was no wonder that even though there were no more Oregon[Dalki]'s, he was still confident that he could finish off the rest of the humans, and this monster of a fight proved that he was right.
The thing was, the body that he had just hit was nothing but a bunch of shadows, as they slowly began to disappear, but the rest of it also wrapped around Graham, almost holding him in place.
Before he could react, both of the twin tails smashed into Graham from the side. His whole body was dragged to the side and flung back into the settlement walls, crashing through it.
The others were glad they had cleared the area; otherwise, at least a few of them would have died just in this exchange. Still, Graham looked unhurt, even by this attack, and his hand was held firmly onto the twin blades, not even causing a scratch on his hard scales.
Pulling on the twin tails, Graham dragged Archer[Quinn] across the ground, sending him coming towards him mid-air, but while mid-air, Archer[Quinn] quickly placed the twin tails away, making them disappear and then summoned them back in the next instant.
'I need more power!' Archer[Quinn] thought as he swung both of them as hard as he could from above, pushing the power of his Qi to the limit.
Raising his hands, Graham stopped the twin tails but was pushed deep into the ground, creating spider-web-like cracks on the surface beneath his feet.
"I see why the others lost to you, you're skilful, and you have so many tricks up your sleeve, but still, you haven't succeeded in even injuring me, not even a scratch!"
Seeing how the soul weapons weren't working, Archer[Quinn] placed them away again and landed on the ground charging forward. However, this time, the shadows forming the wings on his back moved and began to condense down into something else.
Archer[Quinn] had seen William[Arthur] do this, making his special condensed shadow shield, but Archer[Quinn] decided to do something else instead. As it enveloped his left hand, soon, his entire arm was covered in the shadow, flickering ever so slightly.
He already knew that his current blood gauntlet wasn't best used in this situation, so he decided to cover this one in shadows. Meanwhile, on his other arm, Archer[Quinn] was gathering blood, not just now but during the previous exchanges as well. He had been gathering the blood of the Oregon[Dalki] and the vampires and had wrapped it around his arm once more, and it had slowly hardened over his other gauntlet.
Now, the blood around it started to spin once more, and the Qi, along with the blood, was revolving. One arm with an energy drain gauntlet was a Qi infused blood drill, while the other gauntlet had the shadow condensed over it.
Once again, confident in his strength, Graham didn't worry about this and threw his punch towards Archer[Quinn], aiming to get rid of him.
"I'm sure this is your real body this time...so it doesn't matter what game you are up to!" Graham shouted.
Instead of throwing his blood drill hand forward, Archer[Quinn] opened his hand and grabbed Graham's fist with the condensed shadow instead. It came to a complete stop as if the energy was no longer there.
"Now I have you held in place, " Archer[Quinn] said as he stomped his foot on the ground and threw his right arm from down below, aiming right for Graham's stomach.

'His attack...it's stronger than it was before.' Graham realised because, for the first time, a trickle of green blood dripped down the side of his mouth. He threw another punch with his other arm, but Archer[Quinn] quickly used his shadow hand to grab it once again and delivered another punch with his right hand, this time at his elbow, aiming to break Graham's arm.
It did nothing, but Archer[Quinn] could move again and continued to use his shadow arm once again, blocking and striking like this. The shadow hand had become Archer[Quinn]'s trump card since it could block any attack, and slowly bit by bit Archer[Quinn]'s punches were getting stronger.

The problem was, the more Graham received damage, the faster he became as his speed was constantly improved, and he could soon keep up with Archer[Quinn] and eventually, after delivering another strong punch and it being blocked by Archer[Quinn], something happened.
[Shadow overload has ended]
'Wait, what..that many MC cells....are gone like that... I didn't even fight for too long.'
Archer[Quinn] realised at that moment just how powerful Graham's punches must have been during the fight because his 100, 000 MC cells had gone down to 0.
[Shadow body is no longer activated.]
Archer[Quinn] knew that the drawback had to be big, but now he had to fight with the only advantage he had, and quickly Archer[Quinn] started to run back, getting away from Graham as fast as he could.
"Haha...I guess that Shadows can't last forever after all!" Graham said. Instead of a punch, Graham threw out a kick towards Archer[Quinn]'s this time.
[Shadow equip activated]
[Blue Fang set has now been equipped]
'I can't get hit…if I do… I'll die.'
[Full reset activated]
[All active skills and cooldowns have been reset]
Full reset, it was one of the gifts Archer[Quinn] had received from Francis[Richard] Ryo[Eno] that would help him in this war, which he had saved precisely for a situation like this. He had already used the blue fang set once, and he knew that with his newfound blood powers, he needed the strength of the blood attacks.
But now he had another thought, what if he could buy time? By time until the sync was complete. With a full reset, Archer[Quinn] was able to activate the active skill of his armour once again.
[Nitro accelerate]
Dashing away, Archer[Quinn] easily avoided the blow, but the kick's power caused a large shockwave to hit the settlement wall. It went right through it, crushing it and continuing hitting some of the other castles causing them to fall to the ground.

Still, with Archer[Quinn]'s current speed, he was faster than Graham. Suddenly, the fight had become a type of chase. Archer[Quinn] continuously waited for Graham to attack him while running and avoiding the strike repeatedly.
"What are you doing? You think you can win like this!" Graham shouted at the top of his lungs and got frustrated as he wildly threw punches, destroying the whole area. Nothing could have survived the torn-up battlefield around them.
Until eventually.

'Just a little more.'
"Guys! We have to go out there!" Mill[Sil] shouted out the rest of them. "We have to save Archer[Quinn]... he's in trouble!"
Zamier[Vorden] looked at Mill[Sil] and realised that he must have still had the foresight skill[ability] activated and could see something disastrous was about to happen.
Out on the field, Archer[Quinn]'s Nitro accelerate was still active, and it looked like his system would come through for him. Running away and heading a great distance away from Graham, Archer[Quinn] was ready.
'I can feel it. My body, it's gotten stronger...I should be able to do something against him now!' Archer[Quinn] thought.
