Dexter was taken aback as Jack did the same thing Anatoly had done when he came into the camp. The man squeezed his hand furiously, and Dexter felt the need to squeeze back.
"Hm. Strong indeed," Jack said with a smile, and Dexter raised a brow.
'I wonder if he thinks he's stronger. I felt like I could snap it,' he thought, glancing over at the other two people on the couches.
"You guys are the first to get here. Thank you for surviving all this while. At least we'll stand a better chance against the creatures coming," a dark-skinned man with curly hair said as he walked towards Dexter. He seemed to be about the same height as him.
"I'm Rameses," the man smiled beneath the scarf around his face.
Dexter shook his hand too, and Karim walked forward.
"What exactly are the creatures that are coming?" the alpha asked, and Rameses smiled.
"First of all, we have creatures from the depths of the sea. All of them are titans ranging from fifth class to third class. They're dangerous," Rameses said. Dexter raised his brows.
"But the witches told us something bigger is coming..." Dexter mumbled to himself as he squinted his eyes.
The city shook all of a sudden, and Rameses looked outside to see a wave of water slapping against the shore.
Jude flew up and glanced down at the water waves that swept around the city. As the waves came towards the entrance, they all suddenly turned to ice in an instant.
The entire water surface was frozen in an instant, shocking Jack and the others.
"What do you think it is?" Jude asked as he looked up to Collins, who was floating above.
"It's a titan. I can take it." Collins shot towards the ice, breaking into it in that instant, and Jude leaped from his position high into the air.
He fell through the ice too.
"What? Who are they?" Rameses asked as he saw them, and Dexter put a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, they're my brothers. They're both at the third-class level now," Dexter said with a smile, and everyone in the room seemed surprised by his words.
Mainly Rameses and Jack looked back at Dexter, confused at what he said, and they all frowned.
"We have had only a little more than seven months after the apocalypse started... And they're already third-class ranked? Wh– what about you?" Jack asked as he stared at Dexter.
"But that doesn't matter. If the crisis is as big as the witches claim it to be, we would need to unite together to fight."
Rameses and the others pondered what she said. They were all missing out on what the danger was, why they had to come together and fight. They were all lost on the topic.
But the powers of the supernatural were not easily comprehended, so they had to take chances.
Rameses stayed quiet and then walked to the window of the room, and Dexter too went to have a seat.
"Look, we can be cool with vampires, but the werewolves..." Jack shook his head as he said so, and Dexter looked at Rameses, who stood by the window.
...
Jude and Collins exited the water when the sun had come down a bit. They tracked Dexter to the camp, which floated above the city.
They both arrived at the camp, and Dexter was really there. The vampires too, and some of the werewolves were talking with each other.
"Dexter!" Collins called out to him and went to Dexter's small apartment.
"Oh, you guys are back. What was it?" Dexter asked as he drank a pack of blood.
"It was titans. But these ones were very weird. They all seemed to not be affected by Jude's authority, and they were very wild. Also, they were all fourth-class and third-class creatures. A very good opportunity to grow stronger," Collins said with a smile on his face, and Dexter frowned.
"So they're Sea titans, huh? We'll deal with them. The safer we make this place, the more peace we have," Dexter said.
...
On the outskirts of the city, a group of people wearing black materials around their bodies to cover themselves spotted the little floating island above the city.
"So the brown wolves are finally here. Let's make our stand here," a woman said with a smile and then turned around to see more than a dozen large black werewolves towering over her.
"Howl to them," the woman said, and that night, howls echoed under the starry sky.
...
Karim, who was all the way in the camp, couldn't help but look outwards towards the forest.
He ran out of the camp and jumped off, and other werewolves followed.
Tracy too saw them doing this. She could hear the howls coming from far away too, and she followed.
