Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 39: 39. Into the wilderness (2)

A squirrel the size of a dog was running deeper into the forest when a loud bang resounded. In that moment the squirrel with its monstrous teeth had a hole in its head and it fell down.

Laurence put his arm which had a gun down and looked around to see the field of dead squirrels all around.

"That's the last of them." Laurence said and Chapman sighed.

"That should be more than 200 monsters now." He said.

"191." Johnny mumbled as he sat down to relax on a tree.

"Let's take a five minute rest." Laurence said and then he sat down on the ground which had little grass. His guard was still up as he held his guns tightly.

Dexter used this opportunity to see his progress.

'Huh? New skill.' Dexter raised a brow and tapped on his skills section.

[Lightning manupulation (Unranked): Control and produce lightning from within you at the expense of your own spirit energy.]

[Force release (7th class ranked Active skill): Release a pressured blast to the surrounding which will push back targets or shred them if they are weak. Costs Spirit energy to use.]

[Lightning bullet spear (Fifth class ranked active skill): To cast, need a spear. Infuse lightning in the spear and use the force release to boost its speed, causing a massive destruction.

Infuse more spirit energy if you want greater effect.]

'Hm. Lightning bullet spear. Apparently it can even be stronger.' Dexter nodded.

While he didn't have a lot of skills at his disposal, he was satisfied as he had his vampiric powers to make up for it.

Dexter then tried to relax as he dismissed the spirit interface and then relaxed on the tree behind him to rest.

*Rustle Rustle*

Hearing leaves rustling from the distance, Dexter opened his eyes and grabbed his spear before he sprung up to his feet.

"Something is heading this way!" He warned the others and they stood up and armed themselves.

Dexter moved back away from the tree marks began to appear on it before it fell, turning to cleanly cut pieces of wood.

Behind it was a monster.

A tiger which was three metres tall and had black stripes on its blue fur. It's blue eyes made it seem special and it had two long fangs which went even below its jaw.

'Smilodon.' Dexter could only think upon seeing how this creature looked and he couldn't stop seeing the ancient cat species before him.

"Get ready!" Laurence said as he noticed that the creature was extremely hostile as it walked towards Dexter while growling loudly.

All of a sudden it pounced forward with its shiny claws extended, ready to slash down on its target.

Dexter raised the spear horizontally and steadied his feet on the ground to brace for the impact.

*BANG!!*

The tiger's claws landed on his spear, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack all around him in a web pattern.

"Now!" Dexter shouted to Laurence as he saw that the tiger was focused on him.

Laurence started running around the tiger and then he opened fire. Bullet after bullet was shot towards the tiger and it changed it's target to Laurence.

The tiger was fully focused on Laurence, not seeing Johnny and his big hammer coming from the side.

Johnny swung his hammer horizontally towards the running tiger's leg and before it could know what was happening, pain struck.

Johnny's hammer hit its knee joint with full force, making it tumble and roll on the floor as it winced in pain.

It then tried to get up. It's leg wasn't broken which shocked the others and from nowhere.

A purple light flashed. Chapman appeared beneath the tiger and cut it mildly and then he sped to another side and cut it again on its knee.

The tiger couldn't see Chapman as he was very fast and struck the air with its claws, hitting nothing but thin air.

*ROOAARRR!*

The tiger roared, tired of being played with, causing the black stripes on its body to glow a bright white light and it's pupils too flowed a bright white colour.

It then suddenly vanished, leaving Chapman there stunned.

Others thought it vanished but Dexter saw how the tiger sprinted with times two speed than before.

Dexter jumped and pushed Chapman out of the way and put his spear pointed in front of him.

The paw that was targeted at Chapman came for Dexter instead and the spear pierced into the paw of the tiger, making it suddenly stop running as it growled loudly in pain.

Dexter who still held onto the spear pointed his hand downwards.

The mutant vine bracelet which was on his hand and had three pointy sides suddenly lit up a faint white light as Dexter infused spirit energy into it.

The three pointy edges shot out, along with a thin black rope and it dug into the floor and held Dexter.

Dexter now had the tiger in place. The spear which was impaled in its paw was held firmly by him and the tiger tried to swing him and throw him away but the vines of the bracelet were deep into the ground.

He transferred lightning through his spear and the tiger didn't move for a while, stunned.

Laurence then aimed at it and shot one of its eyes, causing blood to spill out rapidly and causing the tiger to forcefully remove its paw from the spear, breaking out from being stunned.

It suddenly charged at Laurence, leaving a cloud of dust as it crossed fifteen metres in one second with its claws ready to cut him down.

In the that moment Laurence raised his hand up which a gauntlet was on and a blue barrier stopped the paw from advancing further.

Johnny jumped up high with his hammer, ready to smash the tiger and he swung down with a grunt, putting all his energy into it.

*BANG!!!*

The hammer collided with the head of the tiger, making its second eyes burst and blood to gush out of its mouth.
