Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 53: 53. The power of shadow

The gorilla suddenly stood up and gazed towards them. It didn't make a move and just stood there, looking at them with a threatening gaze.

Chapman moved towards Laurence as he noticed the situation was getting tense.

"Captain. It's not making any moves." He said and Laurence just pointed his gun at its eye.

"Then we'll make it move."

*BANG!*

The gorilla blinked in that moment and the bullet was knocked off by its eye lid.

It roared loudly before charging towards them at full speed, enraged at the little, inferior creatures in front of it.

"Captain?" Johnny said as he saw that the ape was now coming for them.

"Let's get it." Laurence jumped onto another tree and began to shoot the ape with his spirit energy bullets from his gun.

The ape blocked its face and eyes with one arm and swung the other, destroying the trees in front of it.

Laurence just jumped up and continued shooting.

The titan, seeing the human airborne launched its hand forward to grab its enemy.

"Johnny, hit the smallest toe. Hit it hard." Dexter said before vanishing and Johnny immediately understood what Dexter was trying to do.

The smallest toe is one of the most fragile part for a human. And an ape is like a human...

Zain, Leo, Rina, and Chapman were confused on what they were supposed to do and just stopped advancing.

Johnny reached before the feet of the ape and swung his hammer with all of his strength.

*Crack!*

The ape roared loudly with all that it had as it raised it's leg up and held its feet in pain while letting out pained cries.

Laurence landed and saw Dexter running on the body of the ape upwards.

"Leo, make an ice wall behind it's feet to trip it. Rina, Zain, Chapman, be on standby.

Leo ran forward and used his ice creation skill to create a thick, tall wall of ice behind the ape. He continued blasting a white, ice ray, making the wall stronger and stronger.

Dexter who was running upwards on his body was currently amazed as he could run on steep surfaces too. He stabbed his spear into the body of the giant gorilla and continued running upwards.

The titan roared, feeling the stinging pain and it slapped at its chest, hoping to kill what was on it's chest.

As its huge palm came towards Dexter a shadow cast over him and he vanished and appeared on the ground.

The ape stopped moving backwards, immediately its leg was about to hit the wall of ice behind it and it looked forward to the floor.

"Shit. It didn't reach the ice." Laurence said and Dexter charged at the Gorilla with all the speed he could muster and jumped up towards it, crossing over ten metres in the air with a single leap.

The gorilla roared as it launched its fist forward to clash with Dexter.

'Force release.' Dexter used one of his skills as he launched his own fist forward.

*BOOM!*

The gorilla was pushed back by the forceful wave of energy that pushed it and it tried to regain its footing.

It tripped backwards on the ice wall and Dexter, who was still airborne, saw Leo with his eyes closed, still trying to maintain the wall of ice.

He looked down to see some shadows of trees below and he immediately used his shadow switch skill to change locations.

As the shadow of the gorilla was casted upon Leo, Dexter suddenly appeared before him and dragged him before vanishing to another location.

"Ha." Leo panted as his focus was interrupted.

He looked forward and saw the giant gorilla falling down to where he was previously and he looked to his side to see Dexter.

"Thanks." He said as he then stood on his own.

A golden light flashed on his body and his blue armour appeared on him. He then summoned his black sword and he was ready for battle now.

"We can't let it get up!!" Laurence suddenly dashed past them and Dexter then followed.

He looked at his mutant vine bracelet and shot the three vines into the floor, controlling them to move towards the gorilla from underground.

The three vines suddenly came from upwards below the gorilla and wrapped its body, stopping it from getting up.

*ROAARRR!!*

The gorilla began to struggle and Dexter saw how the vine began to tear in various places under the great strength of the gorilla.

"Keep it down!" Dexter shouted as he felt himself getting weaker.

[Spirit energy: 28/140 (regen. = 1 per minute)]

'Fuck. Shadow abilities take so much.' He thought as he quickly brought up his status screen and added his remaining nine free points to his spirit energy.

[Spirit energy: 118/230 (regen. = 1 per minute)]

'Right. Let's go.' He then charged towards the gorilla as his vines were torn.

Leo was currently using his ice to restrain it from getting up and Dexter wondered how his spirit energy wad restored.

'Maybe he had extra points as well?' He thought and focused on the creature who was roaring while trying to break through the ice which binded its arms.

Laurence was shooting its heart while standing on it but his bullets weren't able to go deep enough. So he continued shooting its chest, each time, wounding it.

Chapman stabbed his blades into the body of the ape and ran all the way to its leg, dragging his blades along the way, making a long wound.

"Captain. The body is too thick. I can't do much damage to it." Johnny said and Chapman looked around.

"We need long explosive skills." He mumbled and he looked back. "Rina, Zain, Bombard the chest area with spirit energy skills."

He then jumped back and Rina and Zain looked at each other before chanelling their skills.

Rina crossed her blades before brandishing them, sending double pink, arcs of energy shaped like an 'X' towards the gorilla's chest.

Zain only jumped up and swung his axe downwards and a wave of flames shot towards the ape.

Dexter stopped advancing as he saw the double attacks going towards the gorilla and in the next moment, an explosion occured.

*BOOM!!*

The gorilla let out a pained roar as both skills blew up on its chest and leo had to stop to close his eyes.

The cloud of smoke which filled the area making them unable to see anything and Dexter then began to hear a loud heartbeat from within the smoke cloud.
