Dexter opened his eyes, for some reason they felt heavy. He looked around to see that he was in a large, dark hall with him being alone.
There was light coming from the entrance and he looked very well to see that Jude and Lily were still unconscious.
Dexter sighed as he clenched his fists.
'There wasn't an opening. I would have used it.' He said as he looked in front of him and picked up a white stone.
[Heaven stone (Second class ranked item): This stone enables the user to call upon the judgment of light to destroy their enemies. And with the heaven stone, darkness won't be able to near the wielder.]
[Judgement of light: remaining times - 5/5]
Dexter looked at the stone in his hand and sighed.
'If this is really as strong as I think it is then it will be best to save it.' Dexter thought as he opened up his mini dimension and took Lily and Jude in.
He came out later and then he saw a screen suddenly pop up in front of his face.
[The deities have decided to change a few things. Heaven's tower is hereby closed to all creatures, however, one can enter by obtaining a golden ticket. You can get a chance to get one from defeating a creature that is at least twice your strength.]
[Warning, all camps have become targets of creatures, the Titans have emerged into the land, and the Titans have come down from the mountains.]
[All monsters are now attracted to any camp.]
"The camp!! What the hell is this? Just when things started getting better." Dexter balled his fists but he knew that there was nothing he could do at this point.
"Deities? Are they the ones who began the Tiran impact or is Tiran a being?" Dexter mumbled but he wasn't able to think clearly due to his anger.
"I have to head over quickly," Dexter said as he ran to pick up his spear, and as he was about to leave, he heard one more heartbeat and he turned around to look within the darkness and then his eyes widened.
There he saw a man lying on the floor with very long, messy hair. The chains binding his arms and legs were loose and he was no longer bound to the walls.
'What do I do?' Dexter thought as he looked at the man on the floor.
He remembered Alexander's last words before he fell unconscious.
"His son? He and Henry are related? That's quite unexpected and terrifying, my best friend is the son of a powerful lunatic." Dexter said as he remembered Henry talking about his family and Alexander too.
'I can't take him, he tried to kill me?' Dexter thought as he turned to leave. But then he remembered the last conversation he had with Alexander and he was shocked to really connect it.
Dexter took Alexander into his mini dimension but not into his mansion. He took him out on the grass field and conjured a few vines from the ground to hold him in place.
'I'll need all the energy I can get.' Dexter thought, sitting down and he then began to cultivate spirit energy through his Astral form.
It took Dexter a total of three hours to finally get to the camp, he had to face more than a dozen creatures which he managed to somehow maneuver and avoid to come back to camp.
As he was getting closer saw that the smoke was coming from a location in the distance which was in the direction the camp's gate was facing.
Inside the camp was worse as he saw fire everywhere and he flew towards the camp and landed on the ground with a soft thud.
'No, no, no.' Dexter couldn't help but quiver at the scene.
He could see people burned alive, the warehouses on fire, and even some vehicles he had never seen before on fire and everything was destroyed.
"No, no, no, this can't be happening." Dexter shook his head as he walked over to the warehouse he was assigned to and he used his spear to cut open the wall of the warehouse which was just a thin piece of metal.
As he did that his body trembled as he saw the almost empty room in flames. The little clothes and mattress were on flames and his breathing began to get heavy and faster and he walked around with trembling legs.
The bench he sat on with Hannah the other day was destroyed too.
After taking a detour around to scout for survivors in the camp, Dexter finally collapsed on his knee and he supported his body with his arms as his body quivered.
"Where... where are they? They must sur... they must survive." Dexter mumbled in a shaky tone and he gasped the moment he heard something from another direction.
Dexter ran over, between two buildings, and there he saw a man who was almost burned to pieces struggling to hold on to his life.
Dexter grabbed the man's hand and he bit his wrist before putting it in the man's mouth.
The man's eyes only darted towards Dexter and Dexter looked at him as his lips began to heal back again and his skin began to repair.
After a while, it stopped and the man coughed up blood again.
Dexter decided not to waste any more time and asked the question.
"Where are everyone? Please, they must be alive?" Dexter said as he looked straight at the man.
"T- thank you. Whatever you did, my inner organs aren't burning up anymore." The man said as he looked at Dexter and Dexter nodded.
"As the monsters attacked. Those of us who could fight fought back while those who couldn't stayed within the camp."
The man then sighed.
"I used a lot of spirit energy to fight and when I couldn't keep the walls up, it crumbled and people lost it and ran in every direction. Only after we were few did they stop the attack." The man said before coughing out blood again and he began to wheeze loudly.
Dexter looked at him one more time. He could sacrifice more blood but he'll get hungry for more.
"So I now have to search for them?" Dexter mumbled as he left the general there to die in peace.
