Chapter 51: 51. Hunt the monster

Dexter woke up in his room in the camp and looked around, it was already night. He then began to recount what happened in the tower.

'Quan huh. That guy was too strong for a level 5. Even I wasn't that strong at level 5... He isn't normal at all.' Dexter thought, but then it dawned on him. 'Although he was not as fast and not as strong as me, he was still too strong for his level. So there's only one explanation, he's a vampire too.'

Dexter furrowed his brows as his mind didn't go there while he was dodging attacks. He met another vampire and he instantly made enemies with him.

'I don't even know what I did.' Dexter sighed and then got up before summoning the things he got from the tower.

He grabbed the spear he bought with more than 9000 points to check out its stats and info.

After Dexter finished reading the skills and abilities of the spear he suddenly felt a wave of information flood into his mind. The skills that came with the spear, everything just flowed into his mind and he closed his eyes to concentrate on absorbing it.

After two minutes he opened his eyes and a smile grazed his face.

'This is good. It also seems like the mind stat plays a great role in power.' Dexter smirked before going out of the room to look for his new friends.

...

"Yeah, while you were gone we were almost attacked." Laurence said as he sat on the couch and fiddled with his fingers.

They were all gathered here; Chapman, Johnny, leo, Zain, Rina, Beatrice, and the colonel.

In his living room.

"Yeah. He's like a father to her." Laurence said, still keeping his eyes on the road.

"She was an orphan who was trained brutally to become an assasin at a young age. The colonel saved her once from the clutches of those that trained her and since then, she follows him everywhere." Laurence explained and the others were all astonished.

'Damn. Asaasin. That's probably why she doesn't speak too much. Maybe she doesn't know how to talk very much.' Dexter thought.

"It was only after Chapman saved her that she then learnt how to talk in english." Laurence said and Dexter was astonished at the things that Chapman has done in his life.

He was a great soldier.

...

Upon getting to the forest, Dexter and Leo led the way to the place that they saw it the first time.

"Be careful. There are things lurking in the trees too." Dexter said and Zain and Rina nodded before equipping their items.

The forest was unusually quiet and once in a while they would hear the terrifying roar of different creatures, but Dexter and Leo knew how the gorilla's roar was so they didn't pay attention to the ones coming from the surroundings.

Upon reaching the peculiar tree where they climbed to see the gorilla they looked around and only saw a few snakes.

The tram easily disposed of them one big one rushed towards them from behind.

Before the big snake could reach them an ice spike shot into mouth, killing it.

Leo then put his arm down and pointed the exact location where the beast emerged from last time.

"It came from deep into the forest." Leo said.

"There's no way we will find it unless we go there." Chapman put his finger on his chin.

Laurence then sighed.

"Let's go. If we can't handle it, we'll just make sure to come back and escape." Laurence said and the others agreed with him.

They all jumped from the tree and went even deeper into the forest. They haven't gone deeper before for there would obviously more dangerous monsters within.
