Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 45: 45. Monster attack

Dexter ran faster than Leo immediately he stepped out of the run down building. With his additional stats for being a vampire Leo didn't stand a chance against Dexter in speed.

...

Back at the camp the soldiers noticed the flock and turned before sounding a loud alarm.

"All available soldiers, arm yourselves!"

People were confused about the sudden announcement but when their eyes met with the giant birds flying in the sky while shrieking loudly.

All the people fell into panic as they began running into their houses, hiding inside barrels, and hiding in all sorts of places.

Beatrice, Colonel Chapman, Laurence and his team were available and they all stepped outside.

"They're back." Beatrice said as she looked at the colonel.

"I chased them away before. I'll do it again." The colonel said with a straight face and then a big long golden cannon appeared in his hand and he put it on his shoulder before looking up and waiting for the pigeons to come.

All of a sudden, they notices a flash of lightning which took three pigeons out of the flock and upon closer look, they saw who it was.

Dexter used the roofs of the tall buildings to leap and strike down the pigeons.

"Well, he started the battle. Open fire!" The colonel shouted before aiming at the biggest one which had its eyes on him.

Sounds of gunshots echoed in the area as bullets were shot towards the pigeons. Laurence couldn't miss. He shot pigeons after pigeon in the eyes directly and he killed them instantly.

Beatrice was using her wind bullets and her matter spikes to conjure a barrage of attacks towards the birds.

The colonel's cannon shot balls on fire towards the birds and they went at extreme speed but the leader which was five times bigger dodged while allowing it to hit its subordinates.

Dexter didn't find any other building to use to launch himself and he then used his lightning to strike them from below but he only landed a hit one by one.

And lightning manipulation takes up a lot of spirit energy.

He then ran forward and reached the camp. The soldiers were shooting non-stop at the pigeons and they were falling down one by one.

The colonel then locked eyes with the biggest one, the king. Which shrieked loudly before diving at him.

Colonel Chapman then ran to the opposite direction from the camp and the leader too turned and followed him.

"He's leading it out of the camp." Laurence said and the others saluted The colonel for his bravery before continuing to shoot at the birds.

The birds got close enough and they then spread in all sides, diving down to attack the soldiers which they saw close to them.

*CREE!!*

A basketball-sized pigeon flew down at Dexter while shrieking loudly but Dexter just thrusted his spear upwards and killed it instantly.

He then brandished his spear and looked around, pigeons were coming towards him from every direction and he furrowed his brows.

With his advanced hearing he could tell exactly which direction they were coming from; everywhere.

As the birds got closer he then activated his skill while readying his spear.

'Force release.' Adding a lot of spirit energy into it he released a forceful wind all around him for five metres and the birds were pushed back.

Dexter then rushed towards the birds and slashed at them one by one while spinning his spear.

"Damn. They were already moving backwards at the same speed and he sliced all of then before they were out of reach." Chapman said as he witnessed Dexter's strength.

A bird suddenly came for him and he used his two blades to cut both wings before beheading it.

"Keep your focus on the battle field." Johnny said as he jumped with a grunt before smashing a bird with his hammer in mid air.

Laurence and Beatrice were like a deadly duo. Laurence with his sharp shooting skills, and Beatrice with her wide range wind attacks.

On another side of the field Chapman struggled to keep up with the creature. As it scratched his chest.

'Damn. Last time that I fought with it till now. It must have grown stronger. I have barely left the camp since I have to manage things. Shit.' He panicked in his mind but the pigeon kept on attacking and the colonel had to use his skill.

He formed a red barrier around him and then he relaxed inside and the Pigeon shrieked loudly while banging the barrier with its beak.

'Damn. Energy Manipulation is really hard to control.' Colonel Chapman thought as he sat up to keep the shield going.

'I'm losing spirit energy quickly.' He became worried. 'But at least I stalled for the others to deal with the smaller ones.'

The colonel kept quiet and kept on focusing on the shield which was being attacked furiously.

...

Lily hid with her mom in a nearby house as soon as they saw the horde of mutant pigeons. However, she still peeped outside to see the fight and she was super amazed at Dexter's skills in fighting.

But then something flew towards him, Dexter was busy with another bird which scratched his shoulder and he didn't realize it.

"Brother, Dexter!!" Lily ran out and her mother panicked.

Dexter noticed her out and then he heard what she said.

"Behind you!!" She shouted and Dexter threw a high backflip, using his foot to kick the pigeon down to the ground before stabbing it.

Lily's mother ran towards her daughter while screaming, "LILY RUN!!!"

Dexter looked sideways and saw a pigeons flying towards Lily with its long talons extended to grab her.

Dexter wanted to throw his spear but it might harm Lily so he ran as fast as he could.

Alas, the pigeon was only a metre away from her, Dexter couldn't reach her on time!

Lily squealed as she looked back and the first thing she saw was a pigeon about to eat her.

Dexter saw the bird approach but in that moment, an ice spike suddenly stabbed into the head of the pigeon, carrying it towards the wall of a building and impaling it.

Dexter stopped and saw Leo who handed Lily back to her mom before looking back at Dexter.

"Don't tell me you forgot I existed." Leo said as he summoned his sword, ready for battle.
