Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 259: 256. The blood world

After hearing what Dexter said about her, Kila couldn't help but feel more sorry for him in this situation.

She knew how Dexter was about his life and those he cared about. She thought that he would see her as a threat and eliminate her too, just like Rose wanted.

But she was wrong about him. Seeing him defending her like that, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him for doing what she did.

On another side of the field, Jude and Collins were facing off against Dominic of the Sagittarians. He was fast, blurring mid-attack and appearing somewhere else.

"Damn it, he's fast," Jude said, and then he waved his trident all around him, making a wave of cold slash all around. He looked up to see Dominic looking at them upside down, and Collins appeared in front of him in that instant.

The wave of his blade was quick and powerful, making the air tremble from the single slash directed at Dominic.

The air shook at the attack, and Dominic landed on the ground with a slashed shoulder. He held his arm and reattached it to his body.

"I think that's enough for today," he said, and then he looked at Collins first.

"Stay still, where you are." Collins was stunned as he couldn't move an inch after that statement, and then he realized that he was compelled.

Jude noticed this, and then he struck at the Count multiple times, going for thrusts more than ten before a ground pound with the trident.

Dominic seemed to be dodging all of the strikes, and then Jude stopped as the man stopped attacking them.

He then looked towards the wall behind him, and in that moment, the entire castle shook as two vampire counts collided outside.

Jude was about to go after him, but then Dexter's voice reached his head.

*"Let him go. We don't have the key fragment anymore,"* Dexter said, and Jude looked back at him.

"You gave the fragment away?" Jude asked, and then Dexter shook his head.

"I'm out of strength. It wasn't worth my life," Dexter said, and then Jude nodded before looking at Collins, who was stuck in one position.

"Are you okay? Stand straight," Dexter said, and then Collins was immediately free.

"You both couldn't bring him down?" Dexter questioned, then with all doubts, and Jude shook his head in denial.

"If I wanted to indeed bring out more of my strength, I would need to use all of it. This castle could be destroyed," Jude said, and then Dexter nodded. They wouldn't really want the castle to collapse with all the people currently in it.

"Well, my case is similar. It would indeed be a destructive sight," Collins said, and then Dexter glanced up at the Count, who hopped over the window and went out of the castle too.

The knights got up from the ground. Their bodies regenerated, and all of them couldn't help but look at Collins and Jude, who held off a count for this long while holding them down.

Collins looked back at them, and then all instinctively hopped back, getting some distance from him.

The four of them then ran away as they went to meet with their masters.

"Kila, from before, how did you... take my power?" Dexter frowned as he asked, and he turned to look at Kila.

She was stunned by the question, and then she opened her mouth to speak.

"V–vampires can take part of a count's power by drinking their blood. And take their entire power by killing them," Kila explained, and Jude frowned at her.

"So you tried to kill him?" Jude asked her, and she couldn't say anything.

"I'm sorry," Kila said, and Jude closed his eyes and turned away from her.

Both he and Collins were so focused on keeping Dominic there that they didn't notice all this happening behind them.

Jude and Collins didn't want to look at her right now, and then Dexter turned around to walk back to their group.

"Damn, there's nothing we would have been able to do," Victor said as he smiled bitterly, and Dexter glanced at all of them.

"Is everyone okay?" he asked, and they all seemed to be alright.

"I think, yeah. Nothing much happened over on this side," Maya said, and then Dexter raised a brow.

'Someone is missing...' he thought, but then the others were all here.

He shrugged, and then he guided them out of the area.

It was sure that the other Counts would be fighting among themselves for the key fragment. But for now, they should get ready because anytime soon...

*Brrrrrrr...*

The castle shook as runes began to appear all over the place. They all became confused, and Dexter could only groan at this phenomenon.

The ground let out a subtle glow before it got brighter, blinding everyone there completely.

...

Dexter opened his eyes to see himself in a wide-open space, seemingly like a floor of the castle but with no sections.

Now seeing the area, it was really huge. The circular area could go up to 500 meters in diameter.

Dexter looked to the edge and saw a swirling red portal. An eerie aura was radiating from it, and Dexter felt a chill in his spine when he saw the portal.

'Bloodlust...'

That was what he felt at the moment. He swallowed and walked forward, attempting to enter the portal.

*"This is it, the entrance to Dracula's domain,"* Dexter asked, and Kila nodded, looking at the towering portal.

They all walked forward and entered the portal. Dexter also noticed other counts and vampires appearing before he finally was sucked into the portal.

He closed his eyes to a blinding light, resembling the sun's brightness when he went to Heaven's tower.

After a while, he opened his eyes to see a red sky. It also seemed like it was raining red flower petals down from the sky.

Dexter and the other coven members were amazed by the environment they were in.

He looked forward and saw Asher floating above them, looking forward deep into the world.

Dexter looked too and saw huge trees, which covered a wall that he could see.

'A fence?' he thought, but then Asher turned around, and Dexter had a shocked expression on his face.

Soon, the area began to get populated, and then the three counts appeared. Winter seemed to have sustained the most damage, as her arm was ripped out, and Dominic had visible injuries in various parts of his body.

Meanwhile, Rose was smiling as she walked forward with a key fragment in her hand.

None of the vampires wanted to challenge her, scared for their dear lives.
