Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 122: 116. The captured warlock

Dexter and Henry entered into the trailer, panting tiredly and they immediately shut the doors.

"With the... way things are going... we're lucky that we're still alive. We managed to get away from those creatures... with only a few hits and injuries." Henry said, taking a lot of breaths in between.

He looked at Dexter's arm which was bleeding but Dexter was busy looking outside to see if the giant mantises were coming.

"Hey, we should go to my mini dimension to rest." Dexter said and Henry nodded.

They both went into the circular, blue portal and they appeared in the familiar artificial dimension.

Dexter looked around to see his mansion in the middle and he then looked at the edge of the place where he could see something standing in the distance.

"Why not just teleport us inside? I'm so tired." Henry knelt down on the grass, using his sword to hold himself from falling.

Dexter could see bruises on his back, Henry really did have his back out there.

"Um... I think you should be prepared to get the biggest shock of a lifetime." Dexter said and Henry looked up at him with a raised brow.

Dexter sighed as he sat beside Henry.

"I don't know any other way to put this to you... but your dad is alive." Dexter said and Henry only sighed.

"I wish that were true. Even if he was here, it would be quite irrelevant... wait, you're joking right?" Henry asked as he blinked.

"Oh, I'm dead serious." Dexter said.

"Dude, I can't help but feel that you're saying the truth. I saw my father's death record." Henry said with a sad tone as he looked down.

"Fear not, my man. Turns out that witches imprisoned him somewhere because he was dangerous, and he still is." Dexter said as he looked into the distance to see the man who was wrapped in vines trying to move.

"My dad is alive." Henry mumbled as he looked up and sighed.

"But what would witches want with him?" Henry questioned but Dexter stood up.

"I think you should ask him yourself." Dexter said as he gave Henry a hand and helped him stand up.

They then began to walk towards the edge of the dimension and Dexter wondered if he ever looked down from the edge and then he realized... he hasn't.

"The thing is, even if I see him now... he wasn't there most of the time so his existence to me is kind of meaningless now." Henry mumbled.

"You don't seem intrigued. Well, I know you would say this, but that's not why I brought him here." Dexter said, still looking forward.

"You remembered that whenever someone did a bad thing to you, something bad would happen to them not long after?" Dexter asked and Henry nodded.

"Well. It's not karma. You're indeed special my boy." Dexter smiled at him but Henry still found everything pretty confusing.

"Well, I think you'll get answers soon. Let's see him first." Dexter said and soon they reached the edge of the island and saw a man wrapped in vines.

The man had a old look with his long brown hair which was full and reached below his knees and looked dusty.

Dexter noticed he was moving and he stopped and used an arm to stop Henry too.

"What?" Henry asked as he looked around but Dexter only pointed at the man in the vines.

"He's dangerous, we have to be careful." Dexter said again and let out a deep breath.

He remembered when Alexander was digging into his memories to take control of his body, the pain of resisting was so sharp and he passed out during it.

He wouldn't want to feel such again so its better to be careful.

Little did he know that the once powerful warlock of curses is now nothing but a failed one, a lowly vampire.

"You." Alexander raised his head and his grey eyes met Dexter's and Dexter was ready for what was about to happen... but he wouldn't let it.

"Wait! Before you do anything, you recognize this boy?" Dexter pointed towards Henry and Henry raised a brow at the man in front of them.

He didn't look dangerous, so he didn't know what Dexter was fidgeting about.

"Let go of me." Alexander said in a calm tone and then he moved his hands.

Immediately Dexter saw this he raised his spear and pointed it at Alexander's neck.

"Relax. I don't have any powers anymore." Alexander sighed with a smile and his eyes finally went towards Henry and his smile vanished.

Henry also noticed that this man looked familiar.

'My dad? He looks... well, okay.' Henry thought but he couldn't move from where he was.

Meanwhile, Dexter was wondering what Alexander meant by 'He has no powers anymore.'

"What do you mean by that? You clearly dug into my brain last time." Dexter said in a calm tone as he raised the spear up to touch Alexander's neck this time.

Alexander only sighed as he looked at his hands. He was no longer feeling the energies that gave him power, he couldn't do anything, he was weak!

'It's really gone huh? Curse you bloodborn.' Alexander gritted his teeth.

"So you're my dad?" Henry finally managed to say and Alexander looked at him from head to toe.

"You're all grown up now, Henry. Hope you didn't steal blankets like I told you?" Alexander said and Henry's eyes widened as he heard what the man said and he felt weakened for a reason.

'Blankets? He really is... my dad.' Henry thought as only his dad would know about his strange obsession with blankets when he was little.

Back then he would roll himself in a blanket like a sushi, taking it from others who shared it.

He even had his own blanket then because the issue became more serious.

"W- where have you been?" Henry managed to ask but Alexander was very uncomfortable with the spear's blade on his neck.

"Please tell your friend to put his weapon away. I already said I have no more powers." Alexander said and Dexter didn't listen.

"Prove it." Dexter said and he removed the spear before clenching his fist.

The vines suddenly began to get tighter and Alexander began to get squeezed.
