Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Hannah panted as she stood her ground, looking up at the creature in front of her. It was a humanoid lizard with four arms, holding a curved sword in each.

"This is a creature at the peak of second class for its race. In this test, you're allowed to use your skills and magic," Lisa said from above, casually floating in her domain.

Meanwhile, Hannah stood firm. Then she charged forward. Her pupils became straight, and two orange bird wings sprouted out of her back before blazing in flames.

The creature in front of Hannah was ugly-looking, standing on two legs with nothing other than a piece of animal skin covering its waist a bit. It snarled and vanished from its position, running towards Hannah at a speed greater than a jet, leaving nothing but dust in its trail.

Hannah summoned dozens of wind discs with blades spinning and hurled them at the creature before releasing a torrent of fire downwards. The lizard was nimble and flexible as it managed to dodge and deflect the high-speed wind discs with its swords. The flames that came down made it run to the sides. Then it looked up and jumped towards Hannah.

This made Hannah smirk, and she sent a quick bolt of lightning towards it as it came towards her. She suddenly heard her heart beat for a moment, and it was as if time slowed down. The creature vanished from where she was aiming, and she felt the wind behind her change.

In that split second, the creature used a skill to get behind Hannah and swung all of its blades at her. Hannah furrowed her brows, and a golden, kite-shaped shield appeared in front of her, glowing brightly. The creature was repelled and fell down. Hannah then let down a bigger bullet and wind pressure on the creature as it was pulled down to the ground.

The wind bullets were about to hit it, and then, with a white flash, it appeared behind Hannah again. The spirit guard followed and blocked her.

"Not again!" Hannah turned around this time, and the shield split into two, revealing the creature to her. She punched forward with all her might. Her arm was grabbed by the creature, and it spun and kicked her down to the ground. As it was about to strike her, it stopped, and then a voice reached her ears.

"This peculiar race is known for their annoying ability to teleport behind their enemy in dangerous instances. Also, their combat skills are superior to the other races. Even if you'll be doing a lot of spell casting, it's still useful to know how to engage in close-quarters combat," Lisa explained, and Hannah stood up from the ground.

"Are you sure that thing was a sixth class?" she asked to be sure as she was just defeated by a creature which was an entire class below her.

"Yeah, that's how dangerous battles can be," Lisa said. Hannah gritted her teeth and took a solid stance.

...

It had been more than a day since Kila, Tracy, Lily, and Dexter's mother began to look for him. Lily and Kila followed their gut feeling in looking for him. The more they traveled, the more they felt Dexter's presence.

"We're close," Kila said, and then a large booming sound reached their ears. Kila immediately rushed to the location and saw a creature digging the ground. It looked like a large dog, more like a wolf, with a shell on its back and joints. Its presence brought fear to the girls who were traveling, and Kila noticed that the creature released some kind of aura to intimidate the surrounding creatures.

All of a sudden, dark ropes bound the creature to the ground, making it let out a loud roar as it struggled to get free. The ropes emitted a black aura, and then, like a swoop, something flew past and hit the wolf in the back, cracking its shell.

"Woah."

"What?"

Lily and Tracy were stunned. Kila just looked carefully and then smiled as she looked up. Dexter flew down with his golden wings, his claws aflame with golden-colored flames, sparking with lightning within. He struck down on the wolf, and as if it got into a frenzy, a large amount of bloodlust burst out of the creature's body.

*ROARRRR!!!*

It let out a loud roar as it tore through the ropes and dodged the incoming man from above at the last moment, before swiping at him with its claws still in midair. Before Dexter could even land on the ground, he was swatted away like a fly towards another direction, and he dug his fingers into the road, stopping his flight.

'Damn, I didn't think a second class would be this strong,' Dexter thought as he gritted his teeth and then looked at Grim, who just came out of his shadow.

"This is going to hurt, buddy. Let's go." The horse's power suddenly materialized on Dexter's body as a piece of shadow with a cape this time, which danced frantically like shadows. His body was then lit in golden flames, and he charged towards the creature with even greater speed than before.

The wolf growled before charging towards Dexter fearlessly, and Grim held its paws and stopped its run. Before it could even break free this time, Dexter's hand was already in the middle of its chest, and he ripped out a heart from the creature's body. Dexter squeezed out fresh blood, then threw the rest to Grim, who caught it instantly.

"Thanks," a thick voice said, and then Dexter looked back.

"It's so convenient that you can talk now. Maybe we can learn from each other now," Dexter said, and he got down to drink blood from the wolf's carcass.

"Brother, there are a few people close by watching us. Should we engage?" Grim asked, and then Dexter cleaned his mouth.

Dexter couldn't get used to Grim talking. After his evolution to the sixth class, he began to be able to communicate witj Dexter alone.

"Alright, let's question them," Dexter said while grim blended in with the floor and moved quietly towards where the girls were hiding.

"Guys? Mum?"

The girls looked back to see Dexter behind them and Lily went and gave him a big hug.

Kila and Tracy smiled in content.

"Seems like you've gotten quite powerful," Tracy said and his mother hugged her child and Tears left Dexter's eyes as he really left his mother without saying a word.
