Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 109: 103. The dark castle



"Um, I\'m sorry but I have something to do there." Dexter said as he pointed at the dark castle in the distance.

"What do you want?" Barn asked as he gazed at Dexter quite warily.

Dexter didn\'t answer and walked past all of them and they all had different expressions on their faces.

Carina looked at Dexter in confusion while Veneta was surprised. Barn had an angry expression while Lisa had a curious expression.

Asher on the other hand, his eyes glowed brightly in a white colour as he gazed at Dexter and in that moment, his expression turned dark as he suddenly saw the forest in flames and the young man in front of him naked while mystical patterns surrounding his body.

In that moment, the young man turned around and looked at Asher with bright golden eyes and Asher immediately stopped his vision as he held his head in pain.

"Hey. And where do you think you\'re going?" Barn gazed at Dexter and as he turned around, he froze in place and couldn\'t move.

\'What\'s going on?! I can\'t move!\' Dexter thought as he gritted his teeth.

"Are you alright Asher?" Lisa held him as she saw that he was in pain.

"Just a drawback from future sight." Asher said as he gazed at Dexter.

\'This young man. He\'s going to be... the destruction of this world.\' Asher thought and he looked forward to see Barn holding him in place.

\'But we can use him for our own good.\' Asher thought as he stood straight and Lisa furrowed her brows as she wondered what Asher saw that made him so scared as she felt him shaking a while ago.

Asher walked forward to Barn who was currently looking at the surprised Dexter.

"I see you\'re a vampire. You don\'t seem to be of the four covens." Asher said as he tapped Barn\'s shoulder and Barn was quite surprised.

There was only four vampire bloodlines so he was confused about what Asher was saying. But then this grey haired man beside him has never been wrong about something.

\'How did he know? Why does it always have to be a question about how I became a vampire?\' Dexter thought as he moved his arms.

"I\'m not from any of the covens." Dexter said and they all furrowed their brows, thinking the same thing.

"You must he one of those vampires that were created--"

"No. I wasn\'t created by a witch either." Dexter said as he gazed at Barn who was also staring at him.

\'Just now... I couldn\'t move. What did he do?\' Dexter thought with furrowed brows.

"Then how did you become a vampire?" Veneta asked as she walked forward to stay in front of him.

Dexter sighed.

"Look, I\'m sorry to be disrespectful but I really have to go now." Dexter turned to the castle again with a frown.

"What exactly do you want there?" Barn asked.

"My family." Dexter said and the coven leaders was even more surprised.

Asher sighed as he heard what Dexter said.

"You can\'t fight him. You\'re too weak." Asher said to Dexter but Dexter smiled as a white stone appeared on his palm.

"Look, I don\'t know who you guys are, but I just want to get my family and leave." Dexter said and they all looked at each other.

"You can go."

The others heard a gentle voice and they all turned around to see Lisa walking towards them.

"I can see you\'re quite angry. Just don\'t let your anger consume you." Lisa said and Dexter furrowed his brows and just nodded before walking towards the castle.

"Why did you let him go?" Barn asked Lisa.

"Yeah, why?" Carina asked too.

"Nothing. I could see that he was extremely angry... and also..." She paused.

"I felt something familiar around him. He has been close to one of my kind lately." Lisa said and the others looked at her as if she was joking.

"Phoenixes are extinct. You\'re the last, it\'s not possible." Carina said but the others were thinking about it.

"Asher. You had a vision tight?" Lisa asked as she looked at him with a serious expression.

"Yes. Yes I did." Asher said as he told them what he saw and how he felt seeing the young man in front of him becoming a harbinger of destruction.

"He\'s so mysterious." Veneta said as she looked at him approaching the castle.

"You think?" Carina sneered.

"He\'s not from any of the four covens. How did he even know about this place? Why would Alexander target him? Even going as far as kidnapping his family." Asher said and they all stared at him.

"It\'s because he\'s not like other vampires. He\'s got a power to control fire, not just normal one, but flames from the sun." Asher said.

"That\'s not possible!! He\'ll die if he used fire powers!!" Barn shouted.

"Yeah, it\'s not supposed to be possible." Carine said in a calm tone.

"That\'s the thing. He knows his limits when using the power. And he\'s quite good with it." Asher said with a frown this time.

"Who is he?" Lisa asked as she looked at Dexter over and over again.

...

"Flying would have been more dangerous. The giant bat\'s and draconic creatures which were flying were just too much to handle." Dexter mumbled as he kept his eyes on the castle.

As he approached the castle his eyes never left the doors and he noticed that there wasn\'t any lock on it. Not even a handle to use to open it.

He held his spear in front of him and sent the shadow underneath the small gap underneath the door.

Within the castle was a long tunnel with lights leading inside and Dexter suddenly vanished from outside and appear in front of the shadow of one of the torches.

"How did he...?" Barn and the others were quite shocked as Dexter suddenly vanished but they only sighed and they waited.

"Bloodborn would be here soon. There\'s nothing that guy can do to Alexander." Veneta said as she sat on the root of a large tree.

Lisa was still uneasy as she remembered the aura around him, she clearly knew that it was familiar, an aura that she had long forgotten.

\'My daughter. She has been with him.\' She thought with furrowed brows.

...

Dexter walked deeper and deeper into the corridor and soon he emerged into a large room.

There were torches on blue flames all over the place and in the middle of the room was a person who\'s arms were chained to the ceiling and feet chained to the ground.

In front of the person was Jude who was on his knees and Lily too was beside him.

"Jude!!" Dexter shouted as he ran forward.

"Ah, ah, ah." A voice reached his ears and an eerie creaking sound echoed in the empty room and Dexter looked at the chains holding the person in the middle of the room.

And he was startled as the person looked up to him.

The man\'s eyes was pitch black and his hair was all over the place. The chains on his arms glowed purple as he tried to move and he smiled at Dexter.

"You actually came, Dexter." The man said and Dexter got into a fighting position with his spear as he heard the man.

"What do tou want?" Dexter asked as he looked at Lily and Jude who seemed dead.

"Me? Well, it turns out that you\'re an even bigger threat than bloodborn will ever be. So I can\'t let you live." The man said and his fingers moved and Jude and Lily stood up.

Both of their eyes were glowing purple and they entered fighting stance.

"Wait! I asked you why you hated vampires before." Dexter said, trying to stall for as much as he can.

He was still tired from running to this forest by himself.

"Oh well. If you really want to know. My family was killed. As if being orphaned was not enough, the witches wanted to kill me because I practiced \'black magic\'. The only family I had, the vampires killed them in that car crash. So I will kill every single one of them.

It\'s fair no?" Alexander grinned.

"I\'m sorry for what happened to your family but this way is kind of extreme. Killing some innocent ones--"

"And it\'s those innocent ones that I trusted that stabbed me in the back. In fact, I don\'t know why I\'m talking to you." Alexander stretched forth his fingers and pointed towards Dexter and Jude and Lily charged towards him.

Jude summoned a spear in his hands just like Dexter and Lily summoned her gauntlets that added a lot of points in her strength stat.

She turned into a green mist and vanished while Jude struck at him with his spear.

Compared to Lily and her abilities, Jude was quite weak.
