Chapter 10: 10. Vampiric strength

Dexter watched how Rina and Leo ran forward into the battlefield and he ran behind them.

'This is crazy, this is crazy. Running away is an option.' He shook his head.

Leo stretched out his hand and a beam of blue light shot out, hitting the floor between the faster dog and the four lesser dogs.

The leader of the dogs didn't seem to notice this as it was focused on it's prey in front of it.

A large ice wall raised where leo shot and he created more, spreading it, which separated the four dogs from their leader as Leo kept on blasting it, making it thicker.

The dogs viciously clawed at the ice barrier while growling loudly and that's when they saw a person at the corner of their eye.

Rina ran forward with her rapiers without the slightest hesitation while Dexter was just not happy that the trio doesn't want to run away.

He struggled to keep his speed in check as he walked very fast but he waved his hand to pretend that he was running.

'If this is now my walking speed then...?' Dexter couldn't get over the feeling of wanting to run right now.

Leo maintained the wall separating the four dogs as Zain would be greatly overwhelmed by the number.

The four dogs charged at Rina while barking, gnashing their teeth and clawing at the ground.

Dexter's eyes suddenly widened as he caught something at the corner of his eyes.

He looked at one of the wolf's paw to see an eerie black miasma gathering around it's claws as it neared Rina.

"No! Rina stop!" He tried to call her but it was like she didn't hear him.

He looked to see Leo looking at him with wide eyes and he ran slowly first, towards Rina. Immediately Dexter was out of view of Leo he suddenly boosted like a speeding train and water splashed and the effect of wind moved water on the ground to the sides as he sped past. Dexter finally reached Rina and he twisted as he grabbed Rina's waist and saved her from the incoming claw that came from above.

*SWIIIM!*

An arc of black energy traveled from the dog's claw and cut a car into two with ease and kept going until it reached a building, making it collapse.

Rina was shocked, scared, grateful... but mostly scared.

Dexter was like a wind of death as even she was unable to track his movements. He looked blurry and was too fast that she couldn't see him.

Dexter waved the rapiers, a dog died. Even the dark, extremely sharp arcs of dark energy couldn't even beat his speed as he dodged them effortlessly.

Dexter sped at the last wolf and jumped up while raising his right leg up high to be vertical.

'Falling dragon.'

He swung his leg down, breaking the skull of the last wolf before he finally stabbed it with the rapier.

Rina had sparkles in her eyes as she looked at Dexter who gazed at the battlefield he conquered single-handedly and he felt a sense of achievement.

His hands were shaking though as his strength wasn't enough to beat the four dogs. But with the rapiers, he was able to accomplish that.

[You have slayed level 6 dark hound...]

[You have slayed level 5 dark hound...]

[You have slayed level 6 dark hound. You have gained 100 spirit points and 180 Heaven's tower points.]

[You have leveled up to level 3.]

Rina's heart pounded loudly as she looked at Dexter who approached her, his black hair messy and his skin even looking more shiny than it used to.

Dexter immediately dropped the rapiers as he gripped his head as he felt a searing pain suddenly.

'What's happening?' He felt weird, like nausea.

His view immediately turned bright as colours interfered in his vision and he felt his insides burning up.

'Damn. The sun.' He dropped the rapiers and ran in the direction that he remembered, where the station was and he immediately hid beside it where the sun didn't reach him and his view finally cleared up.

"Dexter, are you okay?!"

He looked up to see Rina coming towards him and he stopped her.

"I'm fine, just check Leo and Zain and help them." He said as he beared the pain on his skin which felt like they were just soaked in hot oil and brought out.
