Vampire God in the Apocalypse

After a while, the coven members began to get a bit anxious and that was when a person entered into the door.

Dexter raised a brow as he saw a warlock here.

He wore a silver cloak and his hair looked like a dark ash. His eyes were silvery in colour and looked like they held stars within.

The man's presence was enchanting and soothing at the same time.

"Hm... A new coven? I didn't expect one to be formed. Who's the leader?" Asher asked and then he turned to see Dexter and his smile faded.

'It's the man from my visions. I thought he would have died by now...' Asher thought and then he sighed and took a deep breath.

"It's nice to see you're still doing okay. Congrats on becoming a count," He said and Dexter only stared at him blankly.

"Well, the blood moon is a time where vampires participate in various competitions to see who's on top. The last one was held 5000 years ago, a long time before years started getting counted."

"The goal in this week is to make it to the Vampire castle in the middle of the island and get to the top. Once you do, you'll put your flag on the top," Asher said and then he gazed at the number of vampires here.

'Hm, it's almost like he knew about the blood moon and prepared these vampires. They are high level and they are all true vampires,' Asher thought as he gazed at them.

"For now, focus on reaching the castle in the middle of the island. The castle is surrounded by a maze and to get to it you will need to find a way through the maze. Good luck," Asher said and then he vanished, turning into a clear mist and blending into the air.

"So that's it huh?" Dexter mumbled and then he stretched his arms.

"Well, you guys have heard him. If you ever get lost in the forest, make sure to follow my scent back," Dexter said and then they all emerged from the building that they were in currently.

The warlock, Asher, suddenly appeared to them again with a bitter smile and then he pointed to the forest.

"Be very careful of the forest. There are wooden creatures capable of killing vampires permanently called Fauns. A stab to the heart is fatal... Death. So... Yeah, I guess that's that.

The labyrinth around the castle only has wraiths around. I'll explain if you manage to reach there. Also, no flying..." Asher said and then he vanished again.

Dexter summoned his spear and then he brandished it and all the members of his camp followed by brandishing their weapons.

"Let's go." They all dashed into the forest at great speeds.

*"How big is this island anyway?"* Dexter asked Kila and she looked at him.

*"I think it has a 500 kilometers radius, so it's pretty big."* She said and then Dexter was stunned.

That means from one edge to another edge was 1000 kilometers in distance.

'Seems like reaching the castle would be a chore.' he thought with a sigh.

The blood moon bathed the entire island with a red light and the forest was particularly filled with fog.

Dexter payed attention to all the sounds around him and then he frowned as he heard something approaching them.

*"Stay alert everyone!"* Dexter told them and Maya who was behind stayed close to Victor so she won't be stranded. Enjoy new stories from m-v l'e|m,p| y- r

Dexter heard a whistling sound coming towards him and then he waved his spear, cutting apart a piece of wood which was sharpened.

He stopped running and so did the others and then from the thick fog, a large collosal creature appeared with sharp sticks to fight them and Dexter's spear immediately got lit on flames and he waved it towards the creature.

An sharp arc of the golden flames flew towards the creature before burning it and cutting deep. Then it continued to attack with its wooden stick at Dexter.

While he was tempted to rip out his wings here and show this creature a lesson he decides against it for now as it wasn't part of the rules.

The creature fell down and then Dexter gazed at his arm which was scratched by the weapon in confusion.

'It was just a scratch, but it hurt so much. I heard that wood is a natural bane of vampires. If so, then we would have to avoid these Fauns.' Dexter thought before moving forward.

They encountered even more much smaller ones than before but in groups this time. They managed to fend them off together and Lily punched one in the stomach and it bursted open in response to the punch.

Kila waved her rapier around, removing parts of the creatures that held weapons while dodging the waves of the wooden weapons.

*"We've been traveling for more than an hour now, shouldn't we be approaching this said labyrinth by now?"* Dexter complained and Kila couldn't say anything for sure.

*"I can't say. It's my first blood moon. I've only heard stories about it from my former coven leader."* Kila said and Dexter sighed as he wondered and pushed forward.

They soon encountered a giant wooden creature which walked alongside a tall wall and then he looked at Kila.

*"Elderwood?"* He asked and Kila nodded.

'I'll destroy it silently from behind.' Dexter thought and then he ran forward.

His spear was lit on flames and then he began to spin it rapidly...

'Second art of the sun God, Mystical thrust!' Dexter held the spear and then he thrusted it forward towards the chest of the creature.

A blast of golden flames was released from the spear and it all came together to form a giant solid spear and then the creature looked back as it saw light behind it and then it jumped back but the spear still went through its chest.

*ROARRRR!!!*

Dexter could now see the face of the creature. It was indeed made out of wood and vines and he saw its eyes which looked lifelike.

It raised it's hand and a few thorny vines blocked the entrance of the labyrinth. It's body quickly caught on flames, even if it was a high level creature, it couldn't beat the scorching pain of the sun flames, and soon it collapsed to the ground.
