Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 261: 258. Blood Crystals

Jude stayed behind the group, and they all finally arrived where the flames stopped. They glanced into the alley to see the leaves and everything on fire, with Dexter walking towards a few knights.

The soldier charged at him silently. After what happened in the labyrinth, Dexter already knew how to deal with these guys.

The flames on his hand raged and spread forward, burning the soldiers in front of him.

With a sigh, he turned around and saw everyone glaring at him, and they continued to move forward.

It didn't take long before they all found a red light glowing behind some leaves, and Dexter checked to see a crystal forming from a leaf.

Dexter immediately plucked it out and looked at it. There was a red aura around the crystal, which made Dexter want to devour it immediately.

Kila walked forward, saw the crystal, and was surprised.

"That's a blood crystal..." she said, and Dexter glanced at the thing again.

"According to what I know, if you devour it, your strength and speed will increase. It's said that it's the fruit of this world, and even one of them is very rare," Kila said to him, and Dexter frowned.

[Item: Blood crystal]

[Rank: Second-class ranked item]

[Description: A fruit born from the world energy of the great vampire god Dracula. It can turn an ordinary person into a vampire knight instantly or increase a vampire's power by a huge margin. There are only dozens of blood crystals around the blood world.]

Dexter read the description and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"The last time the blood moon rose was five thousand years ago, so many knights have fallen. The vampire counts will definitely try to increase the strength of their allies and themselves," Kila explained in a serious tone, and Dexter knew what this meant.

"So they might even fight for one," he mumbled.

"No, not fight, they will..."

After thinking for a while, Dexter threw the crystal into his mouth, and as he was about to bite it, it suddenly melted in his mouth, and he felt a liquid slide down his throat. Enjoy new stories from m-v l'e|-NovelBin.net

He blinked as he didn't feel anything at first, but then his arms started to hurt from within, and he dragged the sleeve of his cloak to see that his skin was... crawling.

He could feel his strength increasing as he absorbed the crystal, and then he closed his eyes to let it do its thing.

After a few minutes, he finally felt relieved as the entire process stopped, and then a screen appeared in front of him.

[You have absorbed a 3,590-year-old blood crystal. The essence has been fully absorbed. You have gained the 'Bloodied Sight' passive skill.]

Dexter felt his heart beat as he began to hear better. He could hear every little movement and shift in the wind, and also blood.

It was like he could see and feel every blood presence around him. It was amazing.

[You have gained +270 strength, +320 agility, +6,000 stamina, +800 mind.]

Dexter felt stronger and faster than before, and he smiled as he saw the benefits of the singular blood crystal he had absorbed.

[Your additional strength is being recorded as spirit points.]

[You have leveled up...]

[You have leveled up...]

[Your skill 'Compulsion' has become 'Advanced Compulsion.' You can now use your skills on non-vampiric beings.]

'Damn, my mind stat is completely doubled. And also my stamina... I had barely 1,500 points in my stamina stat, and now I have more than 7,000.' He smiled as he now saw the reason why the counts would indeed fight for these crystals.

To get this amount of a boost, he couldn't even count how many creatures he would have to kill to accomplish this.

'And this also means that all the counts will be stronger after they come out of the labyrinth and the island of vampires. I better not make enemies...' he thought.

He decided not to ponder it too much and just follow the trail he remembered.

"What was that just now?" Jude asked as he walked forward, and Dexter explained it to them.

After that encounter with the crystal, they began to walk deeper into the labyrinth. They encountered even more shadow knights, and they were all strong too, just like the ones in the labyrinth before.

The members all fought the knights, and Dexter smiled as he saw his mother fighting off a knight with amateur skills.

He appeared before her and then sliced the knight in half with a spear in his hand, which was covered in flames.

"Hehehe. You can't fight properly with that stance," Dexter told her as he chuckled, and Jane smiled at him bitterly. He then proceeded to show her a basic stance and defending move.

She nodded to his every word as she copied his movements. Dexter glanced behind him and saw a knight coming towards them.

He moved so fast his image was a blur, and then the weapon of the knight left its hand. Its speed was high, and it came at Jane with its fists.

Jane felt the collision of the punch as she used both of her arms to block the attack, crossing them in front of her.

'They're so heavy,' she thought to herself, and then she pushed the hand away and punched the knight, giving it an uppercut.

The knight was barely scratched, and then it spun, sweeping her off the ground with its leg and then punching her in midair, sending her towards the thick walls of the labyrinth.

She breathed out, and Dexter walked behind it with a smile. The knight jumped towards him.

Jane couldn't even see the movements; its fist was already in front of Dexter, and he burned it away with a wave of his hand.

"I think there are two ways to defeat these knights. We can break away their body parts, which makes them weaker if they grow new ones until they can't. Or, we can use light or fire, for example," Dexter said, and then Jane walked towards him.
