Chapter 195: 192. Neighboring camp (3)
[100 sixth-class spirit points have been converted to 10,000,000 seventh-class spirit points.]
[You have gained 800,000 Heaven's Tower points.]
[You have leveled up to level 34...]
[You have leveled up to level 39. You have gained 9 stat points to distribute fully.]
Dexter collapsed on his back, and the shadow surrounding his body suddenly dissipated.
He breathed hard as he had to use a lot of spirit energy in that fight. The sun flame consumes an unhealthy amount of spirit energy, which he could deal with, but he was drained.
"Grr..." Dexter groaned as he felt sharp pains in his body from the hit he took a while before. His arms, which he used to block an attack, felt numb and in pain.
'I thought that shadow protection from Grim healed me,' Dexter thought, and he looked over at the massive body of the bat to see Grim gobbling the thing up.
He had seen this once before. Grim sucked in the creature like a vacuum. It was as if the creature's parts, which ripped, gradually shrunk to fit into its mouth.
"This creature keeps surprising me. I'm still very much curious about its origins," Dexter mumbled as he got into a meditation position and began to absorb spirit energy from the air.
This fight taught Dexter a few things: he could die in this apocalypse, and the world is evolving much faster. To think he would come across a second order today...
Luckily for him, the creature was newly evolved. At least he knows now, his most useful weapon and skill at his disposal were the sun flames.

"Hm..." Dexter hummed as he reviewed his overall stats.
'I think when it comes to active skills, all others fall short when it comes to the technique. I would still need something like the shadow manipulation ability, as it would be easier to maneuver using shadows.' Dexter dismissed his screen, and he remembered how his spear was broken by Hannah's dad, and he sighed.
'I need a Golden Ticket. There are so many things I need. But to get one, I would need to fight something like the glacier behemoth,' Dexter thought as he remembered the monster that took down the last camp in Nigeria.
'I need to grow stronger,' Dexter thought with determination in his eyes as he stood up. His clothes were torn, so he dismissed them into his soul space and equipped them back, making them look good as new.
Dexter stood up and stretched. As he opened his eyes, he was shocked as a notice message popped up in front of him.
[Your bond, Grim, is currently evolving into a sixth-class creature. You can now view its stats and information.]
'What?' Dexter checked the side where Grim was to see the horse in the form of a small black flame, and Dexter sighed as he went towards it.
He dismissed Grim back into the symbol on his hand, and the flame went into his palm.
'So it was a seventh class,' Dexter thought, and he remembered the moment they met. Grim could have easily killed them at that time.
'I'll try to break through to the sixth class in the meantime,' Dexter thought, and he set out to find creatures.

Back at the camp which Dexter was banished from, Lily went to Dexter's building to look for him, and she met his mom there.
"Oh, Lily, how are you?" Dexter's mom said with a smile, and she nodded.
"I'm fine. I'm looking for Brother Dexter," she said with an expressionless face, and Jane smiled at the little girl, seeing her face.
The Tiran impact has taken a lot from the people of the world, so she didn't mind Lily's behavior as she didn't know what the poor girl had lost.
"You know, I haven't seen him out of his room since morning. You can go check if he's there," Jane said, and Lily raised a brow.
"Alright."
Making her way to the room, which was just after the small living room, she saw that the place was empty and that there was a piece of paper on the bed.
"Hm?" Lily looked at what was written on it, and she went back out to meet Dexter's mom.
"Aunty, can you read this for me? I can't read," she said to Jane, and the elderly woman held the paper and began to read.
"I might not be alive when you see this. I'm being hunted by something, and I have to leave. I'm not coming back. I spoke with the General, so he's going to make sure you guys are safe. Also, tell Hannah I'm sorry for leaving like this. Dexter." Jane looked at the note, and then she furrowed her brows as she looked at the words again.
"W... Brother died?" Lily's voice trembled as she said that, and she looked up at Jane.
"Dexter didn't write this..." she mumbled, and then, in that moment, Kila and Tracy knocked, and they came in.
"Good morning, Aunty. Why isn't Dexter out by now?" Tracy asked, and she looked at Lily to see her trembling.
"What's happening?" Tracy said, and Jane took them outside before giving them the note to read themselves.
"He left without telling us?" Tracy said in disbelief, and then Jane shook her head.
"He didn't write that note. The handwriting isn't his," she said, and Tracy was confused.
"So that means someone left this note instead of Dexter. What does this all mean?" Tracy said. She was very confused at this moment, and she gritted her teeth as she really needed Dexter's help.
"He's alive," Kila said, and the rest looked at her.
"How do you know that?" Jane asked.
"I'm bonded to him. I can feel it, that he's alive," she said again, and Lily nodded.
"I feel it too," Lily said as she rested her head on her lap.
"Oh, is bonding some new skill you have?" Jane asked, and the others looked at each other as Dexter's mom didn't know that they were vampires.
