Chapter 192: 189. Phoenix fire coven
"I don't understand what you mean by that, sir," Dexter said while raising a brow, and the general sighed.
"To put it straight, I don't want you with my daughter. I don't think she told you that she has a fiancé who is going to marry her."
At this moment, Dexter was confused. There were more dangers in the future now that the world had entered a state of nirvana. It was certain that more powerful monsters would appear, which would threaten the fate of humanity... and this man talks about a marriage?
"No one cares about a marriage right now; the apocalypse is still in its beginning stages. Settling down with a family isn't advisable. Plus, I doubt this 'fiancé' of hers is trying his best to survive and has probably forgotten about her," Dexter stated.
The general smiled at Dexter's statement and then shook his head. "I heard from Quan that you're not human," the general smirked, making Dexter furrow his brows in shock, and he immediately became wary.
"So, what are you?" the general asked, coming closer to Dexter.
Dexter gritted his teeth as he felt a slight pressure on his body and a bit of fear for some reason.
Dexter quickly jumped to the side and got some distance from Mr. Dian.
"I thought you would just tell me. Those blurry movements without transformation... you're a vampire, aren't you?"
At this point, Dexter was extremely surprised that Mr. Dian had been able to figure him out.
"I'll classify you as an inferior rank since I can't even sense a powerful bloodline from you. You now have two choices: leave, or die. Choose wisely," the general stood his ground, still in his military uniform, glaring at Dexter as if he wanted to rip him apart.
'What the fuck is going on? I can't just leave her like that... maybe, maybe I can take him.' Dexter raised his hand and summoned his spear, then launched himself at the man in front of him.
In a second, Dexter appeared before the man and swung the back of his spear towards the man's head.
*Clank!*
'What!!!' Dexter's eyes widened in shock as the general didn't even budge.
'I'll use my full strength now.' Dexter had been holding back his vampiric strength, but it seemed like the general had also been leveling up.
The sound of Dexter's spear crashing against a hard surface rang around the area, and then Dexter got annoyed and struck forward with the blade of the spear.
Dian immediately caught the spear just below the blade. His hand was so fast that Dexter didn't even realize when it moved.
"I see we're getting dangerous now," the general said, and his eyes suddenly glowed a bright orange color, and his pupils became serpent-like slits.
He hit Dexter in the chest, and Dexter's eyes widened as he felt his skeleton push inward and his legs leave the floor.
Dexter was sent crashing into the wall of the fence, hitting his head and causing an injury.
'H... how did things turn out like this?' Dexter could hardly move because of the pain in his chest.
"Gah!" Dexter coughed up a mouthful of blood as he managed to look at the general walking towards him.
"Using an aboriginal rank weapon on a fourth-class creature... how pathetic," the general scoffed before he held the spear with both hands and snapped it like a twig.
"No!" Dexter was shocked at the sight of seeing his one and only weapon getting broken, and he clenched his fists.
"A marriage might mean nothing to humans now, but to us dragons, it's way more than that." The general stood over Dexter, who closed his eyes as a teardrop rolled down his cheek.
He smiled as he lay on his back and looked up at the general, who grabbed him by his clothes and then jumped over the tall fence of the camp.
...
A few minutes later the old man appeared in a place quite distant from his camp and dumped Dexter in a building which was almost destroyed.
'The second camp should be close to this location. Hope he gets finds his way there.' the man thought before leaving the place and then making a huge leap, towards his camp.
*Boom!!*
The ground caved in as he left the ground, surpassing the speed of sound and getting to the camp in just five seconds.
...
Meanwhile, back at where Dexter was left a shadow of a human suddenly came over him and two more from the sides came.
"Is he still alive?" A feminine voice came from one of the ladies.
The three ladies were wearing red cloaks which symbolized the coven they were from and the one by the side recognized him.
"Hm? He's the reckless vampire who went in to challenge the warlock of curses a while ago," The woman said, removing her hood and revealing a beautiful and enchanting face.
She had long white hair and blue eyes that seemed to radiate a faint light.
"Hm? He's still alive. Luckily it's all just physical damage," Lisa said and then she walked away from the scene and so did her comrades.
"I was sure I sensed the presence of the dragon, Lady Lisa," One of her followers said behind her and she nodded.
"Seems like he or she left before we could even say hello." Lisa sighed and then looked in a particular direction which was that of the camp Dexter was just at.
"I think it's time for a little family reunion." Lisa said with a gentle smile as she vanished, along with her subordinates.
...
In an unknown place, two people stood, watching the earth evolve at massive rate.
"Ooh, looks like the Trinity will soon be reunited," Dracula said as he looked at Nyx with a smile.
"Hm? Where's the third one?" Nyx asked and Dracula pointed towards the camp.
"The warlord of the ocean and the divine conqueror are both recovering their God powers. Although the eternal flame hasn't awakened. It should be soon." Dracula explained and then Nyx walked towards his side.
"My prediction about Dexter becoming the third part of the Trinity was sure... But now this young dragon named Quan has been showing powers of the God flame which only Ra can handle," Nyx said in a low and bored tone.
"I can't leave this Dexter like that. I took a liking to him. It also seems like he has a bright future ahead." Dracula smiled while looking at the giant ball in front of them.
