Chapter 139: 136. Mind wrecker
"You what?" Dexter asked again to be sure and Collins who was on his knees in front of Dexter looked quite scared.
"I was thirsty, I couldn't bear it... I just had to... I had to drink." Jude explained, his voice trembling, but Dexter was still mad about it.
"Did you heal the person and compel them right after?" Dexter asked.
"I... I can't control the bloodlust." Jude said and Dexter's eyes widened.
"So the person died?" Dexter mumbled and Jude nodded towards him.
"This phase is normal for new vampires. I still remember the feeling." Kila said as she looked at Jude who sighed.
"Just be careful from now on." Dexter said as he went to sit on his bed. "The people who run this place are quite dangerous."
Dexter proceeded to explain about the things he saw when he visited the lab.
The others were quite horrified about the things Dexter said.
It was like some horror movie where scientists use humans to do torturous experiments.
But in this case, they do those things to them, the supernatural.
"What are we going to do? I don't want to be in a jar." Lily said with a sad tone and Dexter smiled at her.
"Just be careful and don't get discovered." Dexter said and the others relaxed.
*WAAAA! WAAAA!...*
The alarms blared loudly all around the camp as their watches beeped over and over again.
"I guess we're up." Dexter stood up and he gestured for Lily to come along and Collins followed behind him with a smile.
"Be careful, and try not to get hurt out there. I gave an excuse that I have a healing skill last time, but there would be no way they'll believe all of us have that... at the same time." Dexter said and each of them became tensed as they made their way out of the building and towards the camp gates.
...
The people were already running into their buildings to stay out of the way of the monsters way.
Some who ran stopped as Dexter's group passed and they began whispering as they watched the group leave the gate.
"Is it just me? Or did that team take a child to the battle field?"
"She's just a little girl."
"Where is she going?"
"Are they taking her to fight?"
"The hell are they doing taking a child out there?"
The people who saw questioned the fact that Lily was leaving the camp and entering battle.
...
Immediately Dexter and his group got outside the camp, they saw creatures coming up the slope, towards the camp and they all charged forward to the monsters.
Dexter was confused as they called his group specifically and he looked beside him to see Lily still there, looking around.
There weren't any special, powerful creature here and Dexter became confused.
Before he knew it, big waves started washing towards the land and Dexter heard a loud wailing sound again and he felt something in his head hurt.
"No, not again." Dexter mumbled and then a creature emerged from the water.
Standing more than twenty metres tall was a giant crab which had the tail of a scorpion. It was fat and wide, taking up a lot of space in the area.
It looked straight at Dexter and looked at it's pincer which was as good as new now.
Before Dexter could move towards it, a golden light flashed towards it, surpassing his speed.
"Lily!" He called out her name as she went towards the creature.
Dexter understood why she took action; this was the same species as the monster who took her mother from her.
Lily's eyes were glowing bright golden as she gritted her teeth, her long fangs visible.
Two golden gauntlets appeared on her arms and she continued towards the creature in rage.
She was a bit confident as she had twice her overall stats and she was too angry to reason anything else.
The creature too didn't sit back and wait for the attack and charged towards Lily, seeming even faster than before.
Two golden wings sprouted out of Dexter's back and he flew towards the creature who came towards Lily.
The others saw Dexter and Lily zoom passed them towards the titan in front and they continued to defend the camp from the horde which followed the titan.
Lily jumped up towards the crab and it's six eyes suddenly furrowed as it twirled it's body, using it's scorpion like tail to swipe at the girl who was airborne.
Lily furrowed her brows as she turned into green mist before the tail hit her and the titan was stunned as it's tail hit the air.
The creature looked in the air and saw Dexter flying towards it and it bared it's sharp set of teeth.
It's eyes suddenly widened as it roared loudly. Below it was Lily who stabbed a thin green spike into a gap in its shell.
She was surrounded by a powerful golden aura which made the air around her tremble. She jumped up, causing the earth to crack beneath her feet as she raised her first upwards.
*Bang!!*
The titan roare loudly as it left the ground by a couple of centimetres and its shell underneath was cracked.
Lily was about to throw another punch when the tail of the crab went for her, lunging towards her with it's sharp pincer and she had to use her gaseous form to move away from it.
Dexter dived down and the crab looked up stretched it's pincer towards him while opening it to grab.
Dexter managed to stop his momentum, slowing down before diving.
*KPA!!*
The loud clamping sound reached Dexter's ears and he suddenly flew faster. Black flames appeared over his hands and he shot them in streams towards the crab.
The crab's eyes suddenly widened as it used it's pincer to block but it only felt a searing pain.
...
Lily ran below the crab again and then her long, black claws suddenly glowed a green light and green energy began to seep out of her claws.
The energy condensed into a thick, long spike which had a flat bottom.
"Ah!" She swung her arms upwards, sending it towards the part of it's body which she broke with her punch earlier.
She followed by jumping towards it and as it pierced the crab she punched it hard, sending it into it's body completelybwith a bang.
*ROOOOAAARRR!!!*
The crab roared in pain as it's pincer began getting burned with the black flames, its shell cracked and broke off of it's pincers. It jumped to the side before spinning, it's tail going towards Lily who was previously underneath it.
[Not enough Spirit energy for gaseous poison form.]
[Spirit energy low. Deactivating might aura.]
The sudden decrease in strength at such a crucial time was tasking to Lily and she crossed her arms in front of her at the last moment before getting hit by the tail which came at quite the speed.
"Lily!!" Dexter shouted in the air and then he was knocked down to the ground by the second pincer of the crab titan and it struck down with it's long, flexible tail.
Dexter rolled over and then he began running towards Lily and the titan wasn't going to let its prey get away.
Dexter suddenly looked at the mark on his right palm.
There was a black triangle which had mystical patterns within, making it seem like a tattoo.
'Luckily the sun is down.' Dexter thought before he stretched his hand forward and a dark flame shot out before spreading on the ground.
A creature emerged which was a black horse which seemed like it was made out of pure darkness.
"Dark wanderer. Help her." Dexter pointed towards Lily and it neighed loudly as it galloped towards the girl with quite the speed, leaving dust trail behind.
The tail of the crab came down and the people who were watching saw the pincer crash into Dexter at a quick speed, raising up dust in the area.
Yes, people watched from the camp.
...
Dexter was shocked as he didn't feel any pain and he opened his eyes to see a transparent blue barrier in front of him and he looked behind him to see Jude.
Giant rocks flew towards the crab titan and hit it with loud bangs before it could attack the barrier again.
Collins waved his arms upwards, raising up rocks which he sent towards the titan and it was forced backwards.
They were already done with the smaller and weaker mobs of creatures and they came over to Dexter's side to help.
"Are you okay?" Jude asked and Dexter looked at his left hand which was bleeding.
It got broken when he was hit by the pincer while flying to help lily.
"I'm fine." He said and Jude removed the barrier.
Dexter saw Hannah and Tracy going towards the Titan while Kila was already on top aiming for it's eyes.
Dexter put his right hand in front of him and then flames shot out of his fingers, condensing into a ball in front of him.
The titan roared as it waved it's pincers over it's head, Kila was agile and too quick for it.
She stayed at one place and tried to remove its shell and it frowned before the tail struck towards Kila, it's sharp spike glistening.
Kila smiled as she jumped forwards, making the crab shout as it's metre long pincer stabbed itself.
Collins kept throwing rocks at it and then, the flames, made out of almost all his spirit energy was condensed into a small, tennis-sized ball.
Dexter threw it towards the titan and then Jude ran forward.
"Get out of the way!!!" Jude shouted and Kila looked forward as she heard it to see something black, a ball, coming towards the titan and she jumped away.
She turned into a blur as she sped towards the girls who were attacking the creature's open wounds from beneath and then they left the area.
As the titan turned around it was met with a large explosion as it was consumed by black flames.
