Chapter 25: 25. The supermarket (7): Refuse to become a bloodsucker
Dexter suddenly felt a weight upon his mind as his vision turned red and he fell from the side of the bee, unable to control his body.
'What's happening?' He thought as he grunted, but before he could think he was already falling from the side of the bee towards the floor.
"Dexter!" Laurence shouted as he saw Dexter suddenly fall off the bee limply.
Dexter's body landed on the floor with a thud and Zain rushed to his side.
Laurence was already approaching him as he was closeby.
'That smell. No.' Dexter began to fight his instincts.
The more Laurence got close, the stronger the smell of blood was. He was already very weak as he hasn't drank blood for over a day and everything was coming all at once. He couldn't resist.
Laurence stopped as the queen bee suddenly moved. It turned to the one who kept it stunned on the floor.
"It began healing again!" Chapman shouted as he noticed the bee's cut sides healing but was extremely slow.
The bee turned to Dexter, it's cut legs which were held together by ice snapped. Seeing that four of it's legs were cut off it stood on it's hind legs and shrieked loudly, making everyone there close their ears.
'That was so loud. What's going on?' Dexter thought as he tried to move. 'I can't move, I can't open my eyes.'
Dexter didn't know what was happening in the environment. There was just a strong smell of blood along with his loss of his sense of feeling.
The bee turned to Dexter with an angry look, ignoring its bleeding, cut down legs.
It raised one of its foot to crush Dexter while Chapman tried shooting the eyes of the bee.
The bullets had no effect on the eyes of the bee and they just bounced back.
The bee was really determined to kill Dexter here as he was the only one who could really hurt it.
It was stunned before, it couldn't move, bearing all the stabbing, cutting, and bullet shot pains inflicted on it. And who caused it to be possible?
Yes. It's the paralyzed guy in front of it.
As the bee's leg came down towards Dexter's body Zain grunted as he furiously threw his axe towards the bee horizontally while still running towards them.
The spinning axe suddenly came from the side when the leg was just a few inches from Dexter's body, it struck the leg fiercely, the weight pushing the leg sideways and away from Dexter's body.
*SHRIEEEEEK!!!*
Zain was almost at Dexter and as he was about to grab Dexter, a black tentacle came from behind and whipped him away.
The blood of the bee began flowing towards Drxter as it dripped from its body, forming a pool below it.
The blood flowed towards Dexter and he couldn't resist anymore and his eyes flew open. His scelera was red in colour and his pupils changed from brown to pitch black. As for his iris, they were now a bright red and he looked at the blood in front of him.
The sweet scent assaulted his nose and he tried to reach out his tongue to taste the blood coming towards him.
He suddenly feels a pull and his heart tuggs at him and he almost squeals in pain as he beared the force trying to pry into his mind.
'Stop fighting.'
'Give into the bloodlust.'
'Stop fighting.'
'Blood is power.'
The voices in his head kept on getting louder and louder and Dexter struggled to open his eyes as a loud shout reached his ears.
He saw Zain crawling backwards in pain as a deep cut was on his shoulder. The bee's tentacles struck the ground behind Zain repeatedly, as if scaring it's victim before it launches a finishing blow.
'Give in and be free.'
'Give in and become a true bloodsucker.'
'No.' Dexter thought, his words directed at the voice in his head. 'I still have a family out there who are waiting for me. My girlfriend is still out there. I won't lose sanity because of blood.'
Dexter struggled to raise his hand and he immediately pointed at the bee. But then his eyes caught a part of its under side without armour and he pointed to that part.
Lightning crackled on his fingertips before a beam of lightning shot out of his hand, accompanied by thunder.
The bee shrieked loudly as it felt a a pain like never before all over its body. This time Dexter didn't stop and continued to strike until he couldn't feel his arm anymore and he passed out.
After the last strike of lightning, the queen bee finally collapsed with a loud thud, raising dust and wind which blinded everyone for a few seconds.
Laurence finally stood up from where he fell and before he could say anything, golden words began to materialize in front of him.
Not just him but others that remained alive saw the same screen in front of them.
[Your team have successfully slain level 15 mutated queen bee. Rewards will be distributed equally.]
[You have gained 4000 spirit points and 1200 Heaven's tower points. +Team bonus 2000 spirit points.]
[You have levelled up to level 6. You are ready to enter Heaven's tower.]
Laurence immediately willed the message to vanish after reading it and proceeded to find his men.
"Chapman! Johnny!"
*Whooosh!*
A gust of wind suddenly blew and carried all the dust away from the area and that's when he saw Beatrice standing, but she was pale. Zain who was on the floor wasn't looking too good either with a cut on his shoulder and Leo was by his side trying to help him get up.
The only ones who were fine were him, Johnny, Chapman, Beatrice, and Leo. The rest all had injuries or one thing or the other that will prevent them from packing foodstuffs.
Laurence went and sat beside a shelf before resting his back and closing his eyes to rest.
"Are you okay?" Leo asked Zain.
"Yeah. Check on Dexter. He still blasted the bee after he fell before, he must be in a worse shape than me." Zain closed his eyes tightly as his open wound felt like there were needles pricking it.
Leo furrowed his brows as he stood up and walked towards the other side of the bee's body where Dexter was.
"He could take them from me. Wouldn't it be better if I just kill him know?" Leo mumbled and when he got to the other side of the bee his eyes widened as there was no explanation for what he was seeing at this moment.
