Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 281: 278. Back at the camp

In the terrain of a ruined city, shadowy figures weaved around, heading in a direction.

A normal human wouldn't be able to see anything, even if they looked closer. The people suddenly appeared in front of a large temple that stood strong despite the apocalypse.

Lucian looked at the door and, with a gentle push, he opened it.

The two knights immediately laid Sarah on the ground and began to heal her.

They brought her cut-off arm and placed it on the wounded shoulder. The red-haired woman bit her wrist and poured blood atop the wound.

The flesh began to move and reform with the blood, merging the arm back to the body.

The redhead looked at Lucian, who still gazed at the door.

"What are you going to do now, master?" the woman asked Lucian, and he breathed a tired sigh, looking up at the sky.

"I don't know. I guess with time, we'll figure it out. If my brother manages to survive... we'll go for round two." His voice darkened, and he smiled at his statement.

...

The ocean had become the most dangerous place on the planet due to the high population of sixth-class and fifth-class monsters. Other creatures stronger than that also resided in the deeper parts of the ocean.

Deep in the water, a large octopus the size of a skyscraper sped past the other fishes.

On the head of the Kraken, Jude formed a space of air around them to allow them to breathe while they traveled.

They could all see the various capable animals inside the water. Despite there being human-looking creatures above the Kraken, the creatures just ignored them.

Soon, the sun finally began to go down, and it was evening already. The group finally got to land, and the Kraken went back into the water to go watch over Atlantis.

*Poof*

A large black tiger pounced on Collins the moment he stepped out of the ocean, and he smiled warmly.

"Hey, Bascar, how's it been?! Haha." He laughed as the big cat rolled around him lovingly.

"At first, I thought it was a monster," Hannah said as she let out a sigh of relief.

Jude, who had Dexter in his arms, walked towards Collins.

"Can he carry us to the camp fast enough?" he asked, and Bascar tilted its head towards him.

"Sure, let's hurry," Collins said, and then he closed his eyes and communicated quickly with Bascar.

Soon, they were all on the back, holding on to the fur, riding at great speed towards the camp.

...

Jude got down from the big cat and walked towards the camp with slow steps, holding Dexter.

He decided to not put the camp in a panic and ran inside at maximum speed, bypassing all the people there.

Collins and Hannah walked into the camp, and that's when they noticed two people also coming towards the camp behind them.

It was Henry, standing beside a man who had a black cloak on, with a long bushy beard and long hair.

He seemed to have some muscle beneath the cloak as he was big.

"Ah, Collins? You guys are back." Henry smiled as he saw Collins walking into the camp, and he instantly frowned as he saw the large black tiger behind him.

Bascar suddenly shrunk in size and hopped on Collins' shoulder, curling around his neck.

"Is that some kind of pet?" Henry asked as he got close to Collins, and he looked to the side to see Hannah walking slowly into the camp, seemingly in thought.

"Um, good evening, sir..." Collins said as he looked at the tall man, and the man glanced at him.

"Hm... Respectful, I see. I was only wondering why the camp is filled with vampires." The man said, and Collins raised a brow, looking at Henry.

"Oh, he's a warlock, the coven leader of the Shadowsong Coven," Henry said, and Collins blinked in confusion.

"Ah, I've not heard of that before, but you're welcome. Any help we can get with surviving would be a big win." Collins said, and then he frowned and looked towards where Hannah walked off to.

"Where's Dexter?" Henry asked, glancing around.

Collins didn't answer and only looked down nervously before gesturing for Henry to come along.

The elderly man behind both of them frowned as he saw the white aura emanating from Collins and frowned further as he saw this.

Collins led Henry to Dexter's building, and then they entered to see Kila wrapping Dexter's shoulder with a bandage.

"Ah, what happened?" Henry immediately rushed to his friend's side and observed his condition.

Several injuries seemed to not be healing at all, and a severed arm. Henry was at a loss for words, and they saw that Dexter seemed to lose his color as time passed.

Jane, who was also hanging off the roof, had to come down, and she sat beside Dexter.

She couldn't help but begin to shed silent tears.

"He just had to always try to take on everything himself... This boy doesn't even let me do my motherly jobs," Jane said as she sobbed close to the chair.

"His heart is still beating, but he's just not waking up. What exactly did you do to him, Hannah?" Jude asked as he looked at her.

"I sealed the possessing spirit away. So he's supposed to be conscious by now." She replied to Jude, and he still couldn't help but shake his head.

"D– do you know if it worked? Is it possible to mess up the move?" Jude asked a series of questions, and Hannah had to nod as the questions were mostly true.

"I performed it correctly when I was training, I didn't know it would be like this." She bit her lip, and then the elderly man in the black cloak walked over.

He touched Dexter's forehead, and a small glow emanated from his fingers.

Knowing the condition, the man couldn't help but sigh tiredly.

"He's fine, he's in some sort of trance, within himself," the man said, and that was when the rest of the people in the room noticed him.

...

Within a mind space, Dexter stood in front of Alucard, an older version of himself with over ten thousand years of life.

"So, that's it. That's the story," Dexter mumbled as he looked at Alucard, who was chained.

"It's funny how our roles reversed in the blink of an eye. I didn't even get an entire month this time hahaha..." Alucard laughed lightly, and Dexter smirked.

"I have... pretty amazing allies and family," he couldn't help but feel proud.

"Yeah, you do."
