Vampire God in the Apocalypse

There were a lot of destroyed buildings in this area and it was as if more than a dozen missiles was shot here.

However, Dexter knew what exactly caused this.

'Damned monsters.' He gritted his teeth.

'I wonder if mom is okay, my next move after Collins, jude, and henry comes should be to find a way to go to USA to find her.' He thought with a hand on his chin.

Nevertheless he ventured towards the large, pile of destroyed buildings which towered over all sky scrapers.

'Marco said the creature destroyed buildings and made a makeshift mountain. It should be an aero type.'

This creature must be very big and fast to do this in just two weeks.

He walked towards the pile in the distance and checked out his flame ability some more.

He let the flame float over his palm and he quickly shook his hand as the heat was unbearable.

''Shit!" Dexter exclaimed.

"Even with the flames not being in contact with my body, I'm still feeling the pain." He mumbled in an astonished tone.

'I can already see how strong the first stage is. Let me see the requirements again for the next stages.' He thought as he summoned his spirit interface.

[2. Sun boost: Wrap your fists or weapons in flames. Increases both attack power and effectiveness. Requirement- Strength >150

3. One with sun: Wrap your entire body in sun flames, boosting all your stats by 70%. Requirement - Strength >170, spirit energy >350.

4. Inner sun: Have your own inner sun, no longer needing assistance from the sun to use the technique. Requirement - spirit energy >500, strength >200.

5....]

'Hm. Strength requirement is quite high. I think I get it since the strength stat affects the body also.' Dexter noted. 'I still have free stat points so I'll distribute later.'

Dexter then furrowed his brows.

'For now... let's hunt.'

...

Dexter finally reached the bottom of the hill of broken buildings and he looked up to see the faint outline of a nest.

'That thing would just break apart.' Dexter thought.

A normal nest would be made of extremely light materials like leaves and other plant materials. Dexter couldn't see the nest very well but for a level 18 and above creature, a weak nest wouldn't even work.

Dexter turned around, hearing the wind howling in his ears, he felt uncomfortable at the quietness of this place.

'I haven't seen a single zombie or monster in this area. Not even one.' Dexter felt like something was amiss.

He looked up to the nest and ultimately decided on what to do.

He moved backwards and hid inside a building that was almost destroyed fully.

[Spirit energy: 92/330 (regen. = 1 per minute)]

'I haven't still tried out the spirit energy cultivation technique.' He thought as he got a good spot in the run down building and he sat cross legged on the dusty floor.

He pointed to a direction and a swirling blue portal appeared in front of him.

Lily emerged from the portal with a blood bag in her hand and she looked at Dexter in shock. She wasn't expecting to be summoned at that time.

Dexter was also equally in shock as he looked at the bag and then at her face alternatively.

"Brother Dexter." She walked towards him but Dexter was more focused on another thing right now.

"You grew taller?" He looked at her from bead to toe and he noticed.

"Hm? I don't feel taller." Lily checked out herself but Dexter just dismissed that subject, but he was sure she increased by a centimeters or more.

"I need you to watch over me. I'm not going to be conscious for a while." He said and she nodded.

Closing his eyes, Dexter focused on the technique in his mind.

'Spirit energy cultivation can't be done physically as the energy isn't physical. I have to enter spirit form.' Dexter thought and he focused on the technique.

His hand raised and stopped in front of him. His fingers suddenly had a golden light at their tips and they began moving altogether, drawing a circle in the air and then making dozens of symbols within the circle.

As soon as the circle was complete, Dexter felt himself being pulled out of his body and he opened his eyes to see himself being semi-transparent.

"So it's similar to Astral form. The only difference is that, I have no control over my Astral form." He said as he looked around.

He was standing in that same house and he could see Lily there but she wouldn't be able to hear him.

'Let's get this over with.' Dexter thought and sat on the floor in the same way that his body was and he closed his eyes to concentrate on absorbing the transparent blue energy that was all around him.

'Spirit energy answers to the calling of spirits.' Dexter recited and the energy that was all around the surroundings began to move towards his area and then they started entering his body from every direction.

Lily didn't seem to see this at all and just kept on staring around the surroundings as Dexter focused on cultivation.

After five whole minutes, Dexter opened his eye in spirit form to see a new notification.

[You have cultivated spirit energy for five minutes. 100 spirit energy points restored.]

'Jist a bit more.' Dexter thought and continued with the process until he saw a very satisfying message.

[You have maximized your spirit energy limit and can no longer pass that point.]

Dexter nodded and stood up before touching the floating, glowing circle in front of his body which was a rich.

He was sent into his physical body and he woke up to feel a little sore in some areas.

"That was kind of enjoyable." He mumbled.

'The feeling of spirit energy gathering inside me at a rapid pace was ecstatic.' He thought.

"Hm?" Dexter looked around the room to find out that Lily wasn't there and he raised a brow as he didn't tell her to do anything else other than watching him.

*BOOM!!*

Dexter was immediately agitated as he heard a loud explosion and he charged out of the building.

Coming out of the building his attention was drawn to the girl that was ran past the building he came out from.

A creature flew past the building after her, raising up a cloud of dust which blinded Dexter.

"L–Lily! Argh this girl." Dexter gritted his teeth as he chased behind the bird that was behind Lily.

He stretched his hand forward and a line of lightning shot forward towards the bird.

The bird suddenly looked back and that's when Dexter saw that this creature was not normal.

It's eyes were glowing already in a golden colour and it's beak was also golden with a metal sheen through which the sun reflected into his eyes.

'Black feathers, not blue. Golden eyes, not red, black scelera, normal, golden metallic Claws...'

The more Dexter mentioned it's features the more he related it to one of his fears at this moment.

'A seventh order creature!' Dexter was shocked.

The eagle's wings changed to colour of golden as if becoming metallic and it blocked the lightning, making it bounce off towards another direction.

The lightning struck a still standing building, destroying the side and making the test of it crumble down.

Dexter looked forward to see the bird. It stood over three metres tall as it looked down at the human in front of it with confusion.

Suddenly, golden lightning suddenly began flashing on its body and it suddenly opened its mouth, sending out a blast of golden lightning towards Dexter.

'Ah!' Dexter finally got back to his senses and he bent backwards extremely quickly and the lightning bolt passed him.

The bird furrowed its brows as it sped towards Dexter, crossing the 10 metre in two seconds.

Dexter stood up to see sharp, golden blades coming at his neck from the side. Taking quick action he summoned his spear and used it to block the incoming wing of the eagle which was now even hard enough not to break when coming in contact with a sixth order item.

The eagle hit the spear with its second wing horizontally.

Dexter held the spear vertically and he was being pushed back by this creature.

The eagle suddenly looked sideways and Dexter too looked sideways and saw Lily coming back towards the bird.

"No! Get away!" Dexter shouted but he was swatted away by the bird and he flew into a car that was in the direction he was sent.

Dexter coughed as it was only a car he was sent towards.

'It's strong. I can't believe it. The difference between Aboriginal and seventh class...' Dexter stood up and that's when he looked towards the sun which was already going down and he was devastated.

'No, no, no, no... stay.' Dexter said and charged at the cteature with his spear in his hand.

He summoned his spirit interface and began to distribute his stat points to each stat.

[Agility: 158>> 173]

"Haa!!"

Dexter threw the spear with all his force, passing the bird who flew towards the little girl in its view.
