Chapter 145: 142. Dreaded hound (2): Second art of the sun god
Trey kicked the creature that was on top of him away and it stood up tall. It surely resembled a wolf but it's pitch black eyes and ears which were wide like bats made it seem demonic.
Nora charged in to help, her arms wrapping in ice and she neared the creature that just escaped from Trey's grip.
The creature suddenly jumped back as it noticed her and she slid on the ground as she missed her target.
...
Austin was facing against one of the creatures. He was surprised at how agile and quick the creature was as it dodged all the attacks he threw at it and it then jumped back and started running away, making him frown.
...
Greg smashed the ground with his metallic arm as he missed hitting the creature once again and he gritted his teeth as he looked forward.
His hair fell in front of his eyes and he put it back up. Then he saw the creature he was fighting running away to where the other two are and he ran after it.
Soon, he regrouped with Austin and the others and they looked forward to see the three creatures.
One of the creatures was carrying another, one which looked to be paralysed. The paralysed one was carried and they all went deeper into the supermarket.
"Come on!" Austin went after the creatures immediately.
...
Dexter and Trissa we're above the building. They didn't talk the entire time as they both focused on breaking holes in the ceiling to create light for the others.
'Just a little bit more.' Dexter thought as he punched a hole in the ground and hopped further to finish.
"Hey!" Trissa called out for Dexter and he turned around to see her staring into a hole.
They looked into the hole to see a wide, purple portal which swirled in circles as it made a low humming sound.
"What the hell is...?" Dexter kept quiet as a creature emerged from it and he frowned.
It was a seven foot tall wolf with brown fur. It's mouth leaked saliva which dripped to the floor and it's pitch black eyes made it look scary.
All of a sudden, the creature roared loudly, making the shelves of stuffs tremble before charging forward.
"It must be heading towards the others, let's go help them." Trissa said and Dexter just yawned as he looked at her with a bored expression as she ran away towards the giant wolf creature.
Dexter just turned and broke a few more holes in the ceilinfg, finishing the mission he was sent and he hopped into one of the holes.
Landing on the ground with a thud, Dexter gazed back at the portal one more time.
It was his first time seeing something like that. Normally the monsters are the ones that evolved from normal animals and gained power.
But a creature coming from a portal that leads to the unknown was unseen.
Dexter dashed towards where the beast ran to, turning into a blur as he headed towards where a struggle was taking place.
...
Dexter suddenly saw two creatures standing tall coming towards him and he stopped as he got ready and the one carrying the other jumped over him, shocking him.
'What...?!' Dexter was surprised as he turned around.
He heard whistling from behind and then he ducked as a furry hand with claws passed over his head.
The third creature ran towards the portal and then Dexter looked back to see the others coming his way.
"Where's that beast?" Dexter mumbled as he looked around, he focused on his ears and he couldn't still hear a thing from the environment.
Austin passed him and they went towards the creatures. Then they all stopped as they saw the creatures hop into a large, vertical swirling portal and they watched as the portal dispersed after the creatures went into it.
"There's another creature around! Watch your backs!" Trissa alerted everyone and they all began looking around carefully.
Dexter stretched his hand towards one direction and then a bolt of lightning shot out into the shadows.
The light flashed with a sound of thunder. That flash alone revealed the creature who was looking at them with furrowed brows.
'What! I missed. I'm very sure I targeted it.' Dexter thought as he ran towards the creature.
"Support Dexter! Attack when you see an opening!" Austin shouted as he charged into the shadows.
It was easy for him as he didn't need his eyes, as long as anything touching the ground on a one kilometer radius, he would be able to sense and fight it.
As the others approached a golden fire rose up, burning the shelf upwards, illuminating the plaxe.
And then Dexter blocked one of its paws by holding his spear upwards horizontally. He twisted his body, pushing the paw sideways and Austin passed by as he slashed at the stomach as he passed underneath.
The others could see now and the creature was enraged. It turned towards the others and then Greg who was on the air coming towards it was slapped away by the paw, it's force was enough to knock him into a dozen shelves.
Dexter jumped up and struck down with his spear and the creature suddenly vanished and appeared a few metres to the side.
As if it suddenly teleported!!
And it was fast.
Nora's white hair waved in the air as she ran towards the creature with her arms covered in ice, ready to stab her ice claws into it.
But it suddenly opened it's mouth and it's tongue split into eight tentacles, shooting towards her.
She was caught off guard and the tentacles held her at different places as it pulled her towards it's mouth.
Austin charged forward with Trey who was ready to paralyze this beast but it suddenly dropped Nora and a dark aura suddenly began to surround it. Like a layer of smoke that was just around it, not going up to the air.
It was as I'd time slowed and the creature ran at it's normal speed, it opened it's mouth to grab Trey but Trey managed to move and his arm got bit instead.
"AHHH!!" Trey shouted out loud in pain.dd
Austin was surprised as he turned around, he didn't know when it moved, it was like a vanishing shadow in that form.
Trey used his other hand which still had claws and stabbed all five into the creatures nose and the giant creature flung him over to a shelf and he broke something as he crashed into three shelves.
Dexter who was by the side smiled as he saw what was going on. The creature didn't come to attack him directly.
'A creature of darkness. Seems like it knows it's ruler.' Dexter grinned.
'I'm sorry for doing this, but you are a nuisance to me right now.' Dexter turned into a blur as he approached the creature and he jumped towards it's face.
*BANG!!!*
A punch landed on it's face, taking it deeper into another isle and Dexter chased after it.
'This guy still has stamina.' Austin thought as he looked at Dexter who ran towards the creature that struggled to get up from the attack that it just received.
It shook it's head and then it turned to see Dexter coming towards it.
'Second art of the sun god.' Dexter thought and he smiled at the poor creature.
"Annihilation." Dexter mumbled before punching the ground beneath the creature.
A large tornado of golden flames suddenly arose from the ground, the tornado kept heading upwards, eventually breaking the ceiling and the flames that went upwards dived into the middle of the tornado, making it seem like a doughnut from above view.
...
"What was that?" Johnny asked as he heard the explosion from the roof and he jumped up to see a huge swirling flames burst out and Lori and Isaac too were shocked and in awe of it.
But that wasn't all, the flames inverted and dived down into the middle of the tornado.
*BOOOM!!!*
A huge explosion took place as the creature roared out loud and Austin had to back up as the heat was extreme, even from a hundred metres away.
And most of the shelves nearby began to melt under the continuous release of flames coming from where Dexter went and Austin was really surprised that Dexter could wield this kind of power already.
The others too, their thoughts weren't far off.
The flames soon settled to revealed a small crater. Dexter layed naked within and a huge pile of ashes remained by the side.
Dexter stood up and smoke emanated from his body.
[You have defeated a harbinger of hell, level 36 seventh class creature 'Dreaded hound'. You have gained 7800 seventh class Spirit points and 10000 heaven's tower points.]
"That hurt like hell." He mumbled and his clothes appeared back on his body.
'My shoes were burned. I got them from that store while coming to this camp.' Dexter thought as he looked at his feet.
'I guess I'll get another when I go to heaven's tower.' he thought and he walked out of the crater which was already getting filled with melted iron from the half melted shelves.
"Dexter, are you okay?" Austin asked as he saw Dexter's condition.
He was burned all over and even his beautiful black hair was burned off and he was now bald.
"You must be hurting all over." Austin said as he shook his head and Dexter nodded.
"The pain from my Dick is distracting me from any other part." He said and Austin sighed.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't match up to fight the creature. Next time, I won't fall behind." Austin said with a smile.
