Chapter 269: 266. Alucard
The skies were red, and the run-down city was more active than ever with zombies.
"It's like the blood moon is affecting them..." Maya said as she shot a bolt of lightning to obliterate a zombie.
A few monsters were in the mix, large lizards with saliva dripping from their mouths. Their legs stomping on the ground could be heard from a distance.
"Fuck, I thought only human camps were affected by the new change!"
The vampires couldn't help but complain as they kept on slaying more and more zombies.
Victor removed a zombie's head with his claws, then looked back to see the spilled blood floating and gathering together again.
The blood connected to the one spilling from the head, and he watched as the body came back together as if it was never cut anywhere.
As it came forward, he leapt back and couldn't help but frown in confusion as he watched on.
The zombies couldn't seem to die and were resurrected by the blood moon. He could feel it.
But their powers were not ordinary at all. The vampires could feel a boost in their strength just by standing under the light of the blood moon.
While all this was happening, above a certain building, Dexter gazed at the surroundings.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! Don't play with us now!" Collins shouted, and Dexter looked down at them.
"Playing? Hm... Reality can be cruel sometimes. Oftentimes, in the face of lost hope, there is no room for logic." His voice was deep, his wings letting out a low roar as flames wrapped around them.
"Your brother is gone. I, Alucard, have been revived... Soon, the entire world will know of my existence once more, and I will destroy everything my brother has built up," he said, glancing at a complete key in his hand.
It seemed to be a key with a big ring pommel. It was black, like the keys used for ancient dungeons and prisons.
He squeezed his fist, gripping the key tight before he flew away into the distance.
"W–what the hell did that bastard do to him?" Collins mumbled before he leapt up into the air, moving towards Dexter at great speed.
Two draconic wings sprouted out of Hannah's back. She had an angry expression, and her breath was rough.
She wanted answers, and she flew after Collins immediately.
"Kila, Lily, the both of you should stay back for now and help the camp. We'll be back," he said, then leapt into the air.
A white beam of light shot out of his hand, forming a bridge that curved upwards, and he slid on it, flying towards Hannah and Collins.
Kila gritted her teeth as she saw them leaving her. She gazed at the weird-looking zombies and noticed a vampire getting tackled by a weird lizard monster.
"Lily, let's go help," she said before she jumped into the battle.
Lily, on the other hand, had only a quiet face as she was sad about everything that happened.
She really needed to know what happened to Dexter. She gritted her teeth and then followed after Kila.
...
Collins flew at high speed, catching up to Alucard really quickly.
Alucard turned around and looked at them following him from behind, and he stopped before summoning the star phaser.
"Didn't you hear that your brother is gone? Do you want to challenge me?" the man said, waving the spear before imbuing it with his sun flames.
"Oh, you said Dexter is gone and wanted me to just give him up. Never..." Collins said with a deep frown.
"I don't know what is going on, but I need some answers from you right now before I take care of you."
Hearing Collins' voice, Alucard couldn't help but grit his teeth in frustration.
'From this Human's memories, this one won't be easy to defeat; he's a growing god...' he looked around for ways to escape.
Dexter had used the mark of ascension for almost ten minutes, which was the total time he could use it for before he went into a deep sleep.
Right now, he didn't have any trump cards unless he would fall into a coma immediately.
A lady with two wings flew towards Collins, and her wings flapped as she stopped herself.
Hannah gazed at Dexter, and Alucard blinked as memories of this particular person flooded his mind.
"Argh..." He held his head as he kept his eyes on her.

"You both want to take me on?" he asked with a hint of mockery in his voice, and then he felt a gaze from below and saw Jude on the forest floor folding his arms.
"First of all, we're going to put you to sleep and go pay the vampire king a visit," Collins said, and Alucard gritted his teeth.
Jude stretched his trident outward and leapt up towards him, and Hannah chanted a spell as she flew towards him.
Alucard smiled as a dark portal appeared behind him, and he entered, along with the other three people.
Hannah, Jude, and Collins found themselves in Dexter's mini-dimension, and they saw him smiling at them from atop the house.
"No!" Collins shouted as he waved his hand, making the roof shatter from the impact of the wind.
Alucard had already created a portal behind him, so he was blown into it, going back to the real world.
He crashed on the ground in the forest, and he shook his head and dusted his clothes with his hand.
"How annoying... I can't let them fight me head-on, not now at least," he said before he flapped his wings, flying towards a direction at a rapid pace.
Alucard stretched his hand forward and summoned Grim, who couldn't help but look at him curiously.
*"Not master... No..."* Grim shook his head before blending into the shadows of the knight, completely disappearing.
"Argh... Tsk..." Alucard frowned deeply as he saw this, and then he looked at the ocean again.
"How the hell am I going to get to Nigeria? I can't fly for that long either," he mumbled, gritting his teeth at the situation he was put in.
"Damn Lucian. He couldn't wait until the vessel was stronger."
