Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 51: 51. Hunt the monster

Dexter woke up in his room in the camp and looked around, it was already night. He then began to recount what happened in the tower.

'Quan huh. That guy was too strong for a level 5. Even I wasn't that strong at level 5... He isn't normal at all.' Dexter thought, but then it dawned on him. 'Although he was not as fast and not as strong as me, he was still too strong for his level. So there's only one explanation, he's a vampire too.'

Dexter furrowed his brows as his mind didn't go there while he was dodging attacks. He met another vampire and he instantly made enemies with him.

'I don't even know what I did.' Dexter sighed and then got up before summoning the things he got from the tower.

He grabbed the spear he bought with more than 9000 points to check out its stats and info.

After Dexter finished reading the skills and abilities of the spear he suddenly felt a wave of information flood into his mind. The skills that came with the spear, everything just flowed into his mind and he closed his eyes to concentrate on absorbing it.

After two minutes he opened his eyes and a smile grazed his face.

'This is good. It also seems like the mind stat plays a great role in power.' Dexter smirked before going out of the room to look for his new friends.

...

"Yeah, while you were gone we were almost attacked." Laurence said as he sat on the couch and fiddled with his fingers.

They were all gathered here; Chapman, Johnny, leo, Zain, Rina, Beatrice, and the colonel.

In his living room.

"Attacked?" Dexter was confused.

All of them looked very nervous and as if they were shaken.

"That titan. The giant ape we saw that day." Leo said and Dexter's eyes widened.

He then furrowed his brows as the camp was okay, so there MIGHT be nothing to worry about.

"Immediately it was spotted coming in this direction the colonel and some soldiers lured it away from the camp." Chapman said.

"We have to hunt it. Even if we're not ready to cross the forest, it is still a threat to the people and the camp." Colonel Chapman said as he stood up and went towards a picture of him and some soldiers on the wall.

"I swore an oath to serve the country. And I will till the end." The colonel made a hand sign and then turned around. "Tomorrow. We hunt it tomorrow."

The colonel was serious.

"Fine by me." Chapman said and everyone there reluctantly agreed to go.

Dexter wasn't sure about this. But if anything goes wrong he could just turn into a bat and fly away from danger.

After the meeting they made their way back to their room and Dexter just laid on the mattress while staring at the ceiling.

'We don't even know it's weaknesses and skills yet. I have a bad feeling about that hunt tomorrow.' Dexter thought as he then looked at the others.

Zain too was in deep thought while Leo just stayed at a corner, looking at Rina who laid down to get some rest.

'Seems like he hasn't told her how he feels.' Dexter thought and he just looked up again. 'I still had a bad feeling about this.'

...

The next day, after they freshed up and ate they all left to the forest and were all seen off by the colonel.

The colonel wanted Beatrice to stay behind so they left without her.

They couldn't take too many people to do the task so only the strongest individuals in the camp went.

"The colonel and Beatrice seem close." Dexter mentioned.

"Yeah. He's like a father to her." Laurence said, still keeping his eyes on the road.

"She was an orphan who was trained brutally to become an assasin at a young age. The colonel saved her once from the clutches of those that trained her and since then, she follows him everywhere." Laurence explained and the others were all astonished.

'Damn. Asaasin. That's probably why she doesn't speak too much. Maybe she doesn't know how to talk very much.' Dexter thought.

"It was only after Chapman saved her that she then learnt how to talk in english." Laurence said and Dexter was astonished at the things that Chapman has done in his life.

He was a great soldier.

...

Upon getting to the forest, Dexter and Leo led the way to the place that they saw it the first time.

"Be careful. There are things lurking in the trees too." Dexter said and Zain and Rina nodded before equipping their items.

The forest was unusually quiet and once in a while they would hear the terrifying roar of different creatures, but Dexter and Leo knew how the gorilla's roar was so they didn't pay attention to the ones coming from the surroundings.

Upon reaching the peculiar tree where they climbed to see the gorilla they looked around and only saw a few snakes.

The tram easily disposed of them one big one rushed towards them from behind.

Before the big snake could reach them an ice spike shot into mouth, killing it.

Leo then put his arm down and pointed the exact location where the beast emerged from last time.

"It came from deep into the forest." Leo said.

"There's no way we will find it unless we go there." Chapman put his finger on his chin.

Laurence then sighed.

"Let's go. If we can't handle it, we'll just make sure to come back and escape." Laurence said and the others agreed with him.

They all jumped from the tree and went even deeper into the forest. They haven't gone deeper before for there would obviously more dangerous monsters within.
