Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 123: 117 & 118. Alexander the vampire

Alexander couldn't move a muscle as he felt his entire body squeezing.

"Argh.." He tried to shout but he couldn't as all the air in his body was being squeezed out of him.

"Yo, I think that's enough," Henry said and Dexter furrowed his brows angrily as he remembered how this man used his brother and sister against him, as weapons.

"Argh!!" Dexter turned away forcefully and the vines that were holding Alexander suddenly loosened and he fell to the ground while gasping for breath.

"Are you okay?" Henry asked as he stretched out a hand, Alexander stood up with the help of Henry.

Out of all of them, Dexter was the one with a confused expression, but he felt that... this man was telling the truth.

"What exactly did he do for you to hate him so much?" Henry asked in a calm tone and Dexter sighed.

''Well, that there, is the warlock that has been trying to kill me," Dexter said and Henry turned to the man who looked like he had been living on the streets all his life.

"Because you are a vampire,'' Alexander said in a deep voice and Dexter furrowed his brows as he anticipated something to happen but nothing happened, surprising him.

"You're the one who controlled the vampire hunter?" Henry asked and Alexander looked up to him.

"They murdered my family; my wife, and son, who I know is now alive," Alexander said and Henry wondered something.

"So the car crash..." Dexter mumbled.

"The car crash was caused by vampires. Specifically, bloodborn." Alexander said as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"Wait... you're trying to say that... this man, who is my dad, is also the warlock who has been controlling the vampire hunter to kill you?'' Henry asked and Dexter nodded.

Henry gazed at his so-called dad and he was confused.

''The problem now is whether he really doesn't have any powers or not,'' Dexter said and Alexander looked at his hands.

"First of all..." Henry suddenly spoke up as he looked at his father, and then at Dexter.

"I'm very confused by what is going on right now. Second..." Henry then looked at Alexander with an even deeper frown.

"...I saw you die," Henry said and Dexter gazed at Alexander.

"You have some explaining to do," Dexter said to him and Alexander sat down on the floor before explaining to Henry what happened all this time.

...

It took a whole thirty minutes of explanation before Alexander reached the end of his story and Henry was really shocked at all that happened.

"You're saying that... the vampires were the ones that caused the car crash, because you caused World War 3, and you went after them, then the witches imprisoned you. You created vampire hunters, and now you've lost your powers because you're a vampire.

Am I narrating it correctly?" Henry asked and Alexander nodded.

"Well, it's good to have you back." Henry helped Alexander up and Dexter only sighed.

"How much time do you have left?" Dexter asked and Alexander looked up before saying;

"Less than 18 hours."

"Then there's still time," Dexter said as he walked towards the mansion and Henry was still surprised.

"Still time for what?" He asked as he followed behind Dexter and Dexter looked at him.

"Your dad is now a vampire like me. Meaning he has 24 hours to drink blood." Dexter said and Henry looked back to see Alexander clenching his fists to use his powers but alas, it was gone.

"I know I've always wanted a dad, but now... I just feel, tranquil..." Henry furrowed his brows, frowning at his own words.

"Calm down, there are other important things now first," Dexter said with a sigh and he looked at his own hands.

He remembered the burning sensation when he used holy flame and how his entire hand was almost vaporized.

'I should gone for a class I would've been able to handle. Vampire durability isn't even helping against the holy flame.' Dexter thought and then he cleared his throat.

They got to the mansion and Henry noticed that his dad had been staring at him all this time.

"You're staring, d..." Henry said and Alexander only smiled.

"It's okay, call me Alex. It's just that you've grown so big and you're now even more mature, I never imagined meeting you again." Alexander said and looked down with a sad face but Dexter just walked into the mansion.

Collins, Hannah, and Tracy stood up from where they sat as they saw Dexter back.

"Are you guys okay?" Hannah asked, her tone laced with sadness.

"We're fine," Henry said and Dexter just walked towards the couch where he laid Jude and he saw that Jude's eyes were open but he was in a daze.

"Is he...?"

"Oh, Dexter. You're here." Jude suddenly Said as he sat up and then he cleaned his eyes and looked at Dexter.

Dexter then felt a hug from behind and he turned around to see Lily who looked up to him with her cute brown eyes and then he hugged her.

"Who is he?" Tracy asked as she kept looking at Alexander who was looking around in astonishment.

"Long story short, he is Henry's dad," Dexter said and the others were quite shocked.

Dexter checked up on Jude and Lily to know if they were okay and after confirming that they were alright he looked over at Alexander who the others seemed to be questioning.

"Dexter," Henry called out Dexter and they walked up the stairs.

"He's still a failed one right?" Henry asked and Dexter nodded.

He stretched out his hand as he stopped halfway up the stairs

A blood bag flew into his hand and they walked back down.

The others all stayed in the living room while Dexter, Henry, and Alexander went upstairs to another separate room.

"So I just need to drink?" Alexander asked and his sclera began to change to black while his eyes glowed bright red.

He ripped the cap of the bag and drank the entire thing up and then he fell to the ground as he stumbled.

"Are you okay?" Henry asked as he tried to catch Alexander but then he couldn't catch him in time.

Alexander's vision blurred all of a sudden as he drank the blood and he collapsed after he finished the bag.

Henry raised him up and checked to see if he was still alive and indeed he was.

"The hell is going on?" Henry asked but Dexter was equally surprised.

They laid him on a bed and then they just stared at him.

"So after you drank you only felt stronger. Why did he pass out then?" Henry asked but Dexter didn't have the answer for that.

They stayed in the room, Dexter sat on the bed while scrolling through his spirit interface and Henry just paced around.

"Hm..."

Hearing a groan both of them stood up and went towards where Alexander was lying down.

"What the hell happened?" Henry asked immediately Alexander opened his eyes and Alexander looked at the two guys in the room before letting out a tired sigh.

"I was cursed," Alexander said. "I can't evolve into a higher form of a vampire."

Dexter was stunned at this one as he frowned.

"Evolve?" Henry was confused but he looked at Dexter and it seemed like Dexter knew something about it.

"We can go higher, and get more abilities. Failed one, halfling, true vampire. I'm already a true vampire." Dexter said and then Alexander sighed again.

"To be honest, you kind of deserve it," Henry said as he gazed at Alexander.

"With all the things you did, I'll say they showed you mercy. Even if you lost your entire family, going against the world is just not... proper." Henry said and Alexander balled his fists but then he breathed out and freed the fists. the-place-NovelFire

"I'm sorry," Alexander said while looking down.

"We still have to figure out what to do with you. You're practically useless right now." Henry said as he turned around and just then, Alexander's voice reached his ears.

"Don't you want to know what you really are?" Alexander said and Henry turned back with squinted eyes.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked.

"Like your friend said before, the only reason he kept me was because I can help you, I can help you grow stronger," Alexander said as he stood up and dusted himself well.

"Grow stronger..." Henry mumbled to himself and then he furrowed his brows as he considered it.

Dexter nodded from the sidelines as he walked passed him

"I'll be downstairs," Dexter said as he left the room for them

"So what exactly am I?" Henry asked as he walked passed Alexander.

"You're what I was, a warlock. And I can see you have an affinity for dark spirits so I can teach you." Alexander said.

"It's already possible to grow stronger through the game-like apocalypse..."

"Yes, but, you won't have to depend on spirit energy to do damage to creatures. You can be level 10 and be the strongest person on earth."
