Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Jude was still in the camp, teaching the people ways on how to fight better and have a better chance at defeating creatures.

Dexter flew up to the camp, raising a brow as he saw Jude tackle Kila to the ground.

He noticed the people watching and concluded that they were learning different techniques.

"Oh hey, Dexter," Jude turned around to look at him, and the people began to whisper.

"So, you think Dexter would be able to beat him?"

"I don't know, but he did say Dexter was better than him."

"Leave it at that. I couldn't even do a proper kick."

Jude helped Kila stand up and smiled as he saw her annoyed expression.

"So, who wants to learn?" she asked as she looked at the vampires.

Jude had just bullied her big time, so it was her turn now.

Meanwhile, Jude and Dexter looked at the waters surrounding the city.

"I really think this was a bad place to rebuild," Dexter couldn't help but say.

"Hm. I have the same view. The waters around the city are very dangerous. If the creatures attack the land again, it'll be a massacre," Jude said, and Dexter nodded in understanding.

"What about the Sea Titans?" he asked with a calm face, and Jude shook his head.

"Not good. We barely have three days. They're fast," Jude said, and Dexter couldn't help but frown.

"Hmm... What if we go in and slay them as they come?" he asked.

"That would be a good idea, but we'll be at a disadvantage since we are much slower in the water. Well, you guys, not me," Jude said with a chuckle, and Dexter shook his head.

"I guess we have to guide them away from the main city, perhaps to other lands close by, so that we can face them at full strength," Dexter said, and Jude approved of it.

"It's nice that you're very observant," Dexter smiled.

"Haha, you taught me to be. Where gangsters lurk at every corner, you have to be observant," Jude said with a smile, and Dexter looked around.

"Where's Collins?" he asked with a raised brow.

"Hm? He should be in the city with Gracia," Jude said, and then Dexter walked forward and jumped down.

"Continue the training!"

Jude could only smile as he went back.

Although the vampires were not satisfied that Jude didn't get to fight Dexter, at least they wouldn't be bullied by Kila.

...

Collins was sitting on a building, looking up at the sky as he listened to the beautiful sound of a guitar.

'Who knew Quan could be talented at this, haha,' he couldn't help but think as he continued listening.

"Hm?" He looked to his side to see Natasha walking toward him, and he became wary.

Unexpectedly, the cold woman sat next to him.

"Um... Hi," Collins started the conversation.

Receiving no response, he looked down and saw that she was gazing at Quan with a longing look.

"Oh, I see. You like him playing this music too," he said in a low tone.

Quan had his eyes closed, listening to every sound the guitar produced, and the people on the roof were just enjoying it.

"He's good," Natasha finally said, still with no expression on her face.

"Hm... He is," Collins nodded.

"Now that I think about it, are you a dragon too?" he asked her, and she shook her head.

Collins waited for her to continue, and she raised a brow as she saw him staring at her.

"You're supposed to go on... What are you?" he said with a bitter smile.

"I'm from a fox tribe. I'm currently serving the prince as his personal guardian," she said to him, and he finally understood their relationship.

"What about the monk boy sitting beside him?" Collins asked, and Natasha blinked as she turned slightly to see Bai sitting beside Quan.

"He is a friend. Our friend," she said to him, and Collins couldn't help but be fascinated by her personality.

"You don't seem like you talk a lot. How do you feel about the prince? I mean, he had to fight a war, and you were there all along. He's a jerk sometimes too," Collins said, and he could see a little blush on Natasha's face, making him confused.

"He's a very hard worker and very powerful too. I've served him for his entire lifetime, and I will keep serving him," she said in a low voice, and Collins caught a hint of how she felt.

"You like the prince, don't you?" he said, and she was taken aback, looking at him with a frown.

"Don't worry, I won't tell. You're probably good at hiding how you feel."

It wasn't just random words. She really did seem like some kind of assassin that buried their emotions.

'I guess it's like the relationship of a master and a slave. It doesn't usually work out,' Collins thought as he looked at the woman.

"My advice would be to simply not hide all of your emotions. You have to show them sometimes," he smiled.

"Dexter already took his fated bride, so it's possible for you to fill that spot," Collins said, standing up from the ceiling.

Natasha still had her cold gaze, looking at Quan playing the instrument.

Collins had nothing else to say, and Natasha looked at him as he flew away from the location.

She couldn't help but think about his words, but most importantly, one.

"Emotions."

...

Collins didn't have anything to do for now, so he was exploring the city. He flew up to the other camp where the dragon general, Dian, currently stayed.

It was just as he remembered it. The fifty-meter tall fence and the multitudes of houses made with various materials.

He went into it and walked around. They hadn't developed enough to start trading like Dexter's camp, but they were very organized.

He saw Gracia at one edge, more than two hundred meters away, and he smiled as he flew towards her.

Gracia silently walked along a grassy path alone, going toward a bench by the side. She sat down and sighed as she began to think about a lot of things.

"Hey, pretty girl," Collins whispered in her ear, and she was startled and pulled a gun on him.

"Woah, woah, woah. I don't bite," Collins smiled at her, and she put it down.

"It's just you. How long have you guys been here?" she asked, and Collins sat next to her, making her shocked.

"We've been here two days before you guys," he replied and glanced at her face.

"So, what's on your mind? I can clearly see that you were thinking about something," he asked, giving her a calming smile.

"It's... it's nothing. I only miss the way the old world was."

"Walking around is even dangerous since you don't know what might come out and attack you. Plus, the looming third phase and probably what the witches are warning us about. I'm tired," she said, and Collins put an arm around her. His eyes widened.

'Sh–she's trembling,' he thought in shock.

He could feel her body shaking close to him, and he could only give her a hug.

"Don't worry, everything is going to be fine. I won't let you get hurt," he said as he hugged her, and she hugged him tightly back.

As someone who was all over the internet as an upcoming singer before the apocalypse, it must be weird doing things she never wanted to do.

Fighting, being a dragon, wars, devilish creatures. It was a catastrophe.

But they'd all get through it. Hopefully, they'll survive what is to come.
