Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 57: 57. Farewell

Dexter felt his head lighter then usual. He put a hand behind his head to see that there was blood on his head. There was no wound and he knew that he already healed.

Looking forward, his vision was blurry and he could see the others trying to hold back the titan with all they had, attacking various times to not let its heavy pincer hit them.

It blocked its eyes as it withstood various attacks from the humans in front of it, only hearing clanking sounds here and there.

Zain launched a huge fireball at the creature while Rina sent as many pink blade arcs as possible with her rapiers.

The creature was getting pushed back under the continuous assault.

"Hold it off. I'll launch a final attack." Laurence said before running backwards and Zain, Leo, and Rina nodded as they ran around it and began to attack from all sides.

Laurence closed his eyes as he focused all of his spirit energy into his gun. He formed a super condensed bullet made with spirit energy alone and he continued pouring his spirit energy into it to fuel it.

The creature felt the surge of spirit energy nearby and it opened its pincer which it was using to cover its eyes and it saw Laurence in the distance, charging up a skill.

The titan was enraged and it roared loudly before charging towards Laurence at full speed.

"No!" Rina and the others weren't able to hold it and their eyes widened as they stared at Laurence who still had a closed eye.

The creature spinned, using its lounge tail to whip laurence into a nearby building and he broke through it and the building crumbled down the next moment, burying him.

*BOOM!!*

Dexter's vision finally cleared and he saw the titan close to the building he was. His eyes widened as it's eyes darted towards him and immediately, he touched a shadow on the floor and vanished before the creature destroyed the building with a swing of its pincer.

Dexter appeared behind Leo and the others and he noticed something weird. Laurence was nowhere to he found.

"Where's Laurence?" He asked, but then Leo pointed to a destroyed building and Dexter then became aware of the situation.

The titan roared as it began heading towards the camp.

"Don't let it get to the camp." Dexter said as he grabbed them and did a shadow switch to the front of the creature.

They didn't ask anything about what he just did and they then began to attack it ferociously.

Leo created ice pillars in front of the titan and Zain and Rina began to attack it with their long ranged attacks, staying out of the range of its pincers.

Dexter looked at the camp to see Lily still going about, as if searching for someone.

'Why is she still out?' Dexter's thoughts were interrupted by the loud roar of the titan and he knew what came next.

He conjured up one if his strongest spells and a lightning spear formed in his palm. Streaks of lightning danced on it and Dexter furrowed his brows before throwing it with a loud grunt.

The spear successfully hit its chest, causing a loud explosion in its chest. The smoke cleared up and the others saw that the shell in that area where lightning stuck was completely broken and the others smiled.

Dexter then sped up to continue attacking the creature but he suddenly clashed against a blue barrier and stumbled backwards.

He looked sideways to see Zain within the barrier with a golden shield and Dexter recognized it as the one he bought when they first went to Heaven's tower.

Zain mounted the shield into the ground by hitting it in and he then looked at Dexter.

"It's time to leave buddy." Zain said with a smirk but Dexter was confused.

Leo and Rina then began to attack even more ferociously, no longer using long ranged attacks and instead fought head on.

"What do you mean by that?" Dexter asked with furrowed brows. "You guys want the rewards for yourself? You won't even be able to beat it."

"Oh we know. We're going to stall for you guys to escape." Zain said and Dexter finally understood what was going on.

"You guys might die. Let me assist." Dexter said but Zain wasn't budging.

"You have a family out there to look for, and even a girlfriend, go find them." Zain then turned around. "In a way, this is our retribution. We couldn't save anyone at the orphanage when that creature attacked, but now we can save a lot more people."

Dexter was still furious that the trio in front of him were ready to sacrifice themselves.

But then he considered it. He indeed had a family, and they weren't his family. He then had flashbacks of how they always went about things. Heading towards danger instead of running away from them, bonding over ridiculous situations, he couldn't just leave.

Zain charged forward and sent a wave of fire at the eyes of the creature.

It's eyes darted towards the incoming light and it raised it's pincers to defend itself.

Zain was shocked to see a scar on its pincer and he then turned around as he realized something.

"Fite works on it!!" He announced before continuing his attacks.

*CRAAAA...!!*

The creature roared as it smashed the ground with its pincers, raising a dust cloud.

Zain narrowly dodged and jumped on its pincer before attacking with his axe, drawing the monsters attention to him completely.

Leo then knew that it was his cue and he then went towards Rina.

"Rina."

Rina was about to attack but then she heard her name from the side and she turned to see Leo there.

Before she knew it his lips was on hers and she was stunned. But instead of pushing him away or anything, she closed her eyes and a teardrop slid down her face.

Leo withdrew his kiss and then looked at her with a smile while wiping her tears.

"Go ahead and help Zain, I'll be with you guys shortly," Leo said and she nodded before going towards the monster with a determined expression.

Leo turned back to the dome to see Dexter still there with his hands against it, still wondering what to do.

"I guess this is farewell. Don't forget the things you learned. Control the bloodlust, don't let it control you." Leo smiled his final smile and ran towards the creature before slashing at its legs with his sword.
