Vampire God in the Apocalypse

"Nice." Dexter said as Lily just completed basic kicking and punching stances.

"Brother Dexter, why are we just practicing positions?" Lily said with a sad tone.

Dexter then sighed.

"Those stances are the foundation... Let me use understandable words. With those stances, you can perform most of the skills I did."

"Really?!" Lily got excited as she entered a basic stance with her right leg more forward than the other.

After showing her basic attacks like punch and kick, he then showed her basic defence moves.

"Now if you find yourself in such situation, you use your opponents hand to drag them to the floor." Dexter said and Lily nodded her head excitedly while looking at Dexter in reverence.

"So why did you learn how to fight?" Lily asked as he wasn't one of the soldiers.

Dexter smiled.

"I learned it cause I needed it. I grew up in Serene after all."

Lily furrowed her brows.

"Serene? That gangsters area?"

Dexter nodded.

"You've been a good girl today. But I have to go now." He patted her head, making her pout sadly.

"What?"

"I want to see more skills." Lily pouted cutely and Dexter could barely resist.

"No. One step at a time okay." He gave her more head pats.

"Here. You can have this." Dexter handed a cola to the little girl and her eyes shone when she saw it but then hesitation set in.

"But you just gave me one yesterday." Lily said while looking down at her two feet.

"Do you want it or not?" Dexter smiled wryly.

Lily pouted before taking the cola from him and she then continued to practice the stances Dexter showed her.

'What a hardworking little girl.' Dexter smiled before leaving the place.

...

Dexter went out of the area and went to their room but he saw a note beside his bag and he picked it up to read.

[Meet me behind the colonel's building]

'No name? I wonder who it could be.' Dexter thought while squeezing the paper and throwing it out of the small window.

He then laid down on his bed to sleep, paying no heed to the note which he just read.

...

After learning the basic stances and moves which Dexter taught her, Lily walked back to her little hut which was also close to the fence.

She currently had a happy smile as she hugged the cola which was given to her.

At one side, three boys talking suddenly noticed her and one of them suddenly furrowed his brows as he noticed the cola.

"Hey!"

Lily stopped and turned to her side to see three boys coming towards her. Then she just sighed.

"You're with another cola? I knew it, you were stealing them!" The boy accused her.

"I'm not." She replied calmly.

"You can't tell us that someone gave it you again. Why would someone give you a cola? Do you know how rare any they are?" A boy behind said.

"I really didn't steal it. My teacher gave it to me." Lily smiled.

"Teacher? What teacher?" The third boy asked.

"That powerful guy that wiped out the zombies yesterday." Lily said with pride but none of the boys were buying her reason.

"Max, what do you think?" One of the boys behind asked, revealing that the one directly in front of Lily was Max.

"That guy? Gary, Ray, you believe that?" Max asked the two boys beside him.

"Yeah. He never talks to anyone except from the soldiers." Ray chimed in.

"You're just looking for an excuse to get away with stealing!" Gary reprimanded her and Lily sighed tiredly.

"If I said I stole it, what would you do?" She asked with a raised brow at the boys.

Max smiled at this.

"So you're finally admitting. If you give us the cola, we won't say anything to the soldiers." Max said with a smirk and the boys beside him smiled as they liked the suggestion.

"Don't bother. I didn't steal it anyway." She said and walked around them.

"Hey..." Max grabbed her shoulder.

At that moment, she remembered what Dexter taught her and his teaching repeated in her head.

**

"If you are grabbed from behind on your shoulders, the best way to get out of it is spinning. Or you can use this as an opportunity to defeat the opponent by grappling them to the ground."

**

She repeated the movements in her head, grabbing Max arm with her second hand and kicking his leg backwards.

She then bent forward with force while pulling the arm.

Max was already almost in the air as she pulled his arm forward and kicked his leg backwards. When Lily bent, she pulled him forward, flipping him over. And the next thing he knew was he found himself on the ground.

"What the?" The other boys were confused as they watched Lily skip to her hut in the distance.

The boys just stared at her leaving figure in shock.

"Should we report her?" Gary asked.

"What if she's saying the truth?" Ray said.

"How could that guy be teaching her? He doesn't even talk to the soldiers much." Gary laughed.

Max remembered the previous day when Dexter used the exact same move to smash a zombie into the ground and he began to consider her reason.

"Shut up!" Max shouted as he stood up from the ground. "Let's just leave her. She might be saying the truth."

"You see. Max is the oldest out of us so he's obviously right." Ray smirked and followed behind Max as they went to find another place to play.

...

Night reached and Dexter woke up and looked around. He saw that Rina, Leo, and Zain were asleep.

He smiled as he saw Rina resting her head on Leo's lap and he was a little but jealous.

'Damn. Me and Hannah didn't progress this fast.' He thought but he focused on what woke him up.

He silently left the room and the building and then walked on the wall to the ceiling and saw a few people walking out of camp. The soldiers agreed to let them go and he stood straight on the roof.

'Zain said that those dead people went missing at night.' He furrowed his brows as he hopped from the ceiling and went towards the soldiers at the entrance.
