Chapter 144: 141. Dreaded hound.
Compared to Jude, Collins did far better, he was able to stay still and not move the entire time.
"You did really well, not moving at all the whole time." Kila said as she walked towards Collins who looked at her with a raised brow.
"It's not easy, I just want to drink blood too. Whenever I smell it, I feel like, it's calling me, but I have to resist." Collins said with a sigh as he closed his eyes.
"Seems like you don't like the idea of drinking blood too, or killing." Kila smiled.
"Eh? Me?" Collins pointed at himself, his lips curving downwards in disdain.
"If anything... I hate humans. Killing them would be fun and exciting. Our family has always been on the receiving end of evil." He said and Kila was quite surprised by what Collins said.
...
A mile away from a large supermarket was a parked truck which had quite the space within.
Dexter, Johnny, and six of the super soldiers were there waiting for Austin's signal to leap into action.
'At least I know their names now.' Dexter thought as he looked at the six soldiers.
'White haired woman, Nora. Blue haired guy, Isaac. Silver haired woman, Lori. Black haired woman, Trissa. Grey haired... Cool guy, still don't know his name.
And a silver haired man, still don't know his name.' Dexter nodded as he called their names correct and he looked back at the Supermarket.
He and Trissa we're up first. Their target were the large vultures which were upon the ceiling of the supermarket, flying in circles as they made screeching sounds.
The air was heavy as they waited for Austin to commence the mission. The wind blew past their location, the eerie silence of the surroundings didn't have any effect on them as they were focused on the task at hand.
"You guys are up." Austin nodded towards Dexter and he suddenly charged towards the supermarket with Trissa who was just behind him.
She had a fierce expression as she approached the building with Dexter.
Dexter was indeed faster than this but the plan was that they would deal with the birds together.
'There are four of them. Since they're flying around freely and no other creature disturbed them, they should be seventh class already. Means that they have some kind of special ability... Probably.' Dexter furrowed his brows as the vultures noticed them.
He gritted his teeth as he sped up and jumped up the building while summoning his spear and swinging it at one of the birds closest to him.
That alone drew their attention to him atop the building and they flew higher. Trissa arrived and Dexter looked up.
"I'll bring them down." Dexter said as two golden coloured wings sprouted out of his back and he flapped hard while jumping, leaving nothing but dust behind as he shot towards the birds.
"Okay, they've engaged. Let's go." Austin said and the rest of them ran towards the supermarket while looking around for any other danger.
Dexter flew passed the vultures, going up and Dexter looked down to see a purple ball approaching him and he bent sideways and dodged slightly.
The vultures all stayed and looked up before opening their silver beaks, gathering a purple energy in their mouths.
One of the birds was dragged down and the ball from that one shot in another direction. Trissa held the bird down, putting a leg on it's neck and punching it hard, making loud banging sounds.
Dexter had a problem if his own as he was being targeted by the three balls.
Quickly, he shot out lightning bolts from his hands and it struck two of the birds within their mouths, causing an explosion that blasted them down to the rooftop.
The third bird charged and a purple ball of energy shot towards him and he frowned as he saw the bird fly to him after the ball.
He summoned his invisible chain and then he dodged, by more than an inch before throwing the chain towards the bird.
The bird didn't expect it.
As a vampire, Dexter's sight was naturally advanced and higher than what it is supposed to be.
The bird fell to the building and then Trissa took care of it and snapped it's neck with her bare hands.

[Team bonus, 1000 seventh class Spirit points and 2000 heaven's tower points.]
'Ah! Using her bare hands to break the neck of a seventh class... She's strong, and dangerous.' Dexter frowned as he looked at Trissa.
They turned to see the others already arriving at the supermarket and they punched holes in the ceiling. The ceiling was over 500 meters wide and 70 in length. The area of the compound alone would be up to 1km².
"Alright, me, Greg, Nora, and Trey would head in to clean the inside area, Dexter and Trissa would join us when they get to the other side of the building. After that, we'll gather what ever we can and head back to camp." Austin said before heading in, looking around like he wasn't wearing a blindfold.
The silver haired man and the grey haired man followed him into the supermarket and Johnny, Issac and Lori remained outside and began to head to different directions.
*Bang! Bang!...!!*
Holes suddenly bburst open from the ceiling and Austin and the three other people looked around and they were cautious. The silver haired man, Grey, was wearing the white uniform which all the super soldiers wore.
He was very careful, watching his steps.
*Pew pew...*
Austin suddenly heard the sound of extremely small and thin objects coming their way and he signalled the two men behind him to stop and they hid behind a rack where edible supplies were.
Two thirty centimeters long, spikes flew passed them and stabbed into the wall, shocking Trey.
They kept heading towards where the spikes came from silently and then they began to hear low growling sounds... And also the squelching sounds of flesh being torn.
They looked further into the side and there they saw three creatures ripping apart a creature which was still breathing. The horse which was being eaten was already closing it's eyes as it died.
The creatures around it had brown fur. They looked humanoid but as they bent down, the others couldn't know.
They had long, monstrous claws which was dirty, nothing like the clean claws if vampires.
They had the heads of wolves with their long jaws and monstrous teeth. Their ears were long and furry as they collected sounds from the surroundings. Trey looked disgusted as he watched the creatures tear apart the Horse.
"Let's go in and do this quick. We don't know if there are others in the area." Austin said and Trey dashed forward.
His finger nails began getting long and transparent and then the nails began dripping a slimy substance.
The creatures before then were quick to react and he picked up a tray from a rack as he approached them and two growled as they sprinted towards him in all fours like a frog.
Trey jumped up high when the other creatures got too close and then the third one which stayed behind howled loudly but as it did, a tray flew from Trey's direction and his it straight in the nose.
The other creatures stopped and charged towards him with speed but their legs were both held by Austin and Grey.
Austin jumped up to attack and the creature dodged before landing a heavy and powerful kick to Austin's stomach which sent him flying more than ten metres away.
The second one used it's arms on the ground to spin itself and toss Grey away and he was indeed shocked as they got away from their grip.
Trey was shocked by what was going on and before he knew it, the one which he threw a heavy tray towards stood back up while growling at him.
He readied himself as he put his arms in front of him and then, a golden light flashed over his arm and a silver armguard appeared over him as protection.
The creature growled as it came towards Trey. It's monstrous claws were bared as it's fangs we're looking sharp and spit dropped from it's mouth.
The creature waved it's claws at Trey and he almost wasn't able to defend and he almost got his eye slashed and only dodged at the last moment.
He turned to see Austin and Greg in trouble and he turned forward again to see the creature lunging towards him from his front with it's claws out and he caught that hands with it, locking it closely together.
He was pushed to the ground and the creature struggled, shaking violently and biting at Trey's face. Soon it began slowing down as Trey squeezes it's hand, letting his paralyzing venom from his claws enter into the body of the dreadful creature.
