Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 167: 164. Dexter's pain



"Actually, it\'s ju--"

"Yes, your majesty." A voice from behind cut in and Jude looked back to see a guard in golden armour bowing down.

"Tell the human all he needs to know." The king instructed and Jid looked at Jude with a tranquil expression.

"Right this way, chosen one." Jid said in a polite tone and directed Jude out of the room.

The king\'s blue reptilian eyes looked at the door with a frown and then he clenched his fists in annoyance.

"Did you sense anything off of him?" The king asked, and in that moment, a naga appeared from beside a cabinet.

She was slim and slender and her clear smooth skin added to her beauty. Her short jaw-length white hair made her very beautiful as a naga and she had curves that couldn\'t be ignored either.

"Yes, your majesty, unfortunately, he has the mark behind his left ear." The lady said and the king sighed.

"I\'ve waited for the apocalypse to descend to kill the previous king, I killed his children and succeeded the throne of Atlantis for myself. And now a new prophecy is upon us." The king said with a low tone and the Naga lady behind knew where he was going with this.

"Do you want me to kill him now?" She asked the king and the king shook his head.

"I couldn\'t do it low-key because a lot of guards knew that he was the chosen one as they reread the prophecy. Information could get out so I left it."

"And also, announcing that he was the chosen one couldn\'t be avoided, word will still get out. I can\'t have Atlantis against me."

"What we need to do now is to bring him down to secure my place on the throne. When we find the Trident of Poseidon, my position will be unshakeable." The king said and the lady behind him sat on a chair.

"I know what to do. He\'ll be dead in the next month." The king said with a smirk and turned to look at the beautiful lady on a chair.

...

It has been five days since Hannah, Tracy, Lily, and Kila saw Dexter and they began to get worried, it was night now, going to the sixth day and there were still no signs of him.

"Do we head to the camp without him?" Tracy asked and Hannah shook her head.

"He\'s never been out for this long before." Hannah said as she was very much concerned about Dexter.

"Let\'s just calm down, he\'ll be back." Kila said and Lily only looked down with a sad face.

All of a sudden, they heard the sound of a horse coming from the ocean and mist suddenly began to appear over the waters.

The low sounds of screaming from the waters reached their ears and then they all brought out their weapons.

"Something\'s approaching." Kila said and then a horse which looked like it was made out of pure darkness emerged from the mist with Dexter on it\'s body, looking like the world has ended for him.

"Dexter!" Hannah immediately ran towards Dexter and the horse faced her and gritted it\'s teeth at her.

Dexter who was upon the horse jumped down and tapped it\'s body. Grim was absorbed into the mark on Dexter\'s hand and then Dexter walked passed the others, his movements staggering as if he was a zombie.

He walked towards a pillar and sat by it and curled himself and buried his head in his legs.

"Damn. He didn\'t find them." Tracy slumped on the floor weakly and Kila shook her head as she Joined Tracy on the floor.

Hannah walked towards Dexter, she hasn\'t ever seen him like this and was very sad that such a thing occured.

She knelt down beside Dexter and then hugged Dexter closely to her chest. She just held him and they stayed like that for more than an hour, just like that.

Dexter\'s mom came from within the city and passed through the torn the net fence and then as she saw everyone with sad faces her eyes finally went to the pillar which was not very far away and she saw Dexter there being embraced by his girlfriend and instantly her thoughts went to the worst possible scenario and then she fell on her knees and began to cry.

...

"They\'re gone. Let\'s head back to the camp." Dexter said with a hoarse voice as he looked at the others.

He and his mom had a hard time with coming to terms with reality last night and it was already morning.

Dexter looked perfectly fine except that he had a very bored expression and his mom wasn\'t looking better as she had eye bags underneath her eyes and she couldn\'t even say anything this morning.

"Come on mom, let\'s head to camp." Dexter\'s voice sounded to all of them and they all got ready and left for the camp that wasn\'t very far away.

USA had better situations, according to Dexter\'s mom. When the new laws of the apocalypse struck, the creatures that attacked the camp were able to be surpressd due to amount of firepower and manpower the place had to defend the people.

Especially the one who leads the camp, it\'s someone that Dexter was familiar with, and also someone that Dexter once tried to impress.

...

They strode through the path, the others couldn\'t even do anything and was just watching Dexter take out his anger on the unfortunate creatures who dared to cross their path.

A large creature looking like a cow on steroids soon came across them. It stood on both of it\'s hind legs and walked around, smashing buildings in chase of a smaller creature.

Dexter didn\'t even stress himself and just summoned grim. The dark horse charged towards the deadly beast up ahead, looking like a shadow.

The large 12 foot tall beast roared loudly and Dexter looked at it with anger in his eyes. The creature charged towards the horse and the horse suddenly jumped towards it. It then swung it\'s fists downward and the horse just phased through it\'s hand and vanished into it\'s body.

Confusion and surprise held the beast as it looked around at the surroundings. It then looked towards Dexter\'s group who all didn\'t have happy faces and it banged it\'s fists on the ground really hard.

*BANG BANG!!*

*ROARRRR!!!*

It roared loudly as it sprinted towards Dexter\'s group, reaching before them in a matter of seconds and before it could do anything, Dexter furrowed his brows more and the creature stopped in its tracks.

It suddenly began to let out painted screams as it\'s limbs snapped backwards. And it\'s stomach bursted open with a tear, it\'s started bleeding from it\'s mouth, eyes and ears until it finally collapsed on the ground.

Grim emerged from the body and then faced the minotaur. It opened it\'s mouth and the minotaur\'s body was torn and sucked in piece by piece, it\'s body splitted into a number of pieces before flying into grim\'s mouth and when grim was done, he vanished into the marking in Dexter\'s hand.

[You have killed a level 33 minotaur. You have gained 3200 seventh class Spirit points and 20000 heaven\'s tower points.] Dexter dismissed the notification in front of him and looked down at the pool of blood on the ground.

*"Tell Tracy to close my mom\'s eyes, Kila. I\'m... Thirsty."* Dexter communicated VIA telepathy and Kila walked towards Tracy and told her in her ears.

Dexter didn\'t want his mom to know right now. First she lost her sons and Dexter couldn\'t let her find out that he wasn\'t human anymore. She\'s a very religious person so there\'s no way she\'ll accept the new Dexter.

Tracy walked over to his mom and put a hand over her eyes.

"We need you not to see this." Tracy said and Dexter\'s mom was just too tired and nodded and Kila walked beside Dexter.

The blood on the ground which was left by the minotaur wasn\'t very appetizing but it\'ll help to satiate Dexter\'s bloodlust for a while.

Dexter knelt down and was bout to bend to drink when Kila stopped him by grabbing his shoulder.

"No, it\'s all dirty, let me get it." Kila said and Dexter stood up and watched.

She raised her hand and the blood separated from the dirt on the ground and moved towards Dexter.

The blood was firstly condensed into a mug before filling up with liquid blood and Kila did one for herself and Lily and they drank till their hearts content.

They then continued to go towards the camp right after and even Dexter\'s mom was still lost in thoughts.

...

After more than an hour of walking and slaying all sorts of creatures, they finally found a huge fence in the distance which spread widely to the sides in the middle of the ruined city and Dexter was shocked as it was like all the camps he has been to were added together to form this one. It was just that big.
