Chapter 110: 104. No choice but to be beaten.
Dexter was quite wary of the two individuals in front of him. Of both of them, he was more wary of Lily.
Dexter was quite in a bind as he had to fight his own family. He turned around and his eyes turned red and there he saw Lily running towards him.
'Everything is much more slower.' Dexter thought before dodging the spear coming at him and tackling Lily to the ground.
A spear came from the side and Dexter had to jump backward, letting Lily go.
'Shit. I gave to go for the source.' Dexter thought as he casted a glance at Alexander and he ran forward with his spear brandished.
"Not so fast." Alexander snapped his fingers and Lily suddenly appeared in front of him from green mist before throwing a punch.
Dexter caught her hand but he immediately pushed her aside and continued towards Alexander.
Lily vanished and appeared in front of him again with glowing green claws and she slashed at him repeatedly. Dexter dodged each of the deadly claws with ease and he ran sideways before running towards Alexander again.
'Just to take out the source.' Dexter squinted his eyes as he ran towards Alexander.
Lily gritted her teeth and a golden aura suddenly surrounded her body and she ran towards him, leaving a golden trail and she immediately reached behind Dexter before jumping towards him with her claws, aiming for his neck.
Dexter heard the sound of an incoming hand and he ducked, letting Lily pass over him and he grabbed her cloth's collar and threw her to the incoming Jude and they crashed into each other.
'I've got to act now?' Dexter thrusted his spear towards Alexander and before the spear could reach him a transparent barrier appeared in front of him and Dexter's spear hit it and bounced off, but not before making a huge crack.
'What?' Dexter turned around to see Jude's hand stretched out towards Alexander.
Dexter looked at Lily and Jude and ran towards the both of them. Lily charged towards Dexter immediately.
With the power of her might aura she was twice as strong and fast as she was originally. She was currently at the same speed as Dexter and she immediately ran towards him with her claws out.
Dexter looked at the shadows under the torches at the side of the room and he immediately ran towards them.
Lily wasn't letting him off as she followed him and Jude too threw the spear at him. As it flew past the air a blue energy surrounded it and Dexter suddenly looked sideways and bent backwards, dodging the spear.
*BOOM!*
Immediately the spear touched the ground a wave of energy suddenly exploded and Dexter found himself stumbling forward.
He was now under the torch and he looked down to see the torch's shadow as he got up and he smiled.
As Lily came forward, transparent ropes made out of the shadow lunged out from the shadow of the torches and it grabbed Lily before he sent out more to wrap around her.
He immediately tossed her aside and he sent a few to hold Jude, who had no way to escape it.
Jude dodged the first few which ended up whipping the floor and Dexter finally grabbed him and held him in place there before pointing at Alexander.
Lily was already approaching him with a quick speed and before she could reach him, a straight lightning bolt shot towards the chained warlock.
There was no way for Lily and Jude to reach it in time and Dexter smiled. The lightning hit and an explosion took place, making dust to cover the area and Dexter looked to still see Alexander's red heart from the distance.
"HAHAHAHA...!!" a menacing laughter broke out.
"You didn't really think I would have no defensive power! Haha! Enough fooling around!!" Alexander said out loud and the blue torches on the walls suddenly turned purple in colour and Dexter suddenly felt an ominous energy seeping out of Brian.
He was able to see this stream of purple energy enter into Lily and Jude and Dexter was shocked as Jude suddenly tore out of his shadow binds.
He wasn't given any time to even be shocked as he felt a force hit him at the side of his stomach and he felt a rib break as he was sent all the way to the other side of the large room.
Dexter got on his knees and he looked around for his spear which was ten metres away from him.
'I clearly heard it Crack.' Dexter thought as he held his ribs and felt it.
'Thanks to my Superhuman durability, I'm barely feeling it. This Alexander is no joke.' Dexter glanced and saw two people rushing towards him and he jumped towards his spear but Lily suddenly boosted before kicking him at the side of his stomach and he was sent rolling on the floor.
'Strength even greater than mine. How?' Dexter didn't even get to reason the question as a spear neared his face.
He couldn't even dodge as he closed his eyes but when he didn't feel anything, he opened his eyes to see the blade of Jude's spear a few centumetres away and Jude twisted and used the blunt side of the spear to hit Dexter to the side.
The spear in Jude's hand was broken and he looked over at Dexter and continued to beat him as he was on the floor.
'Th- they're not... trying to kill me.' Dexter whispered internally as heavy blows rained on him.
Although he was barely feeling the pain, he was getting weaker and weaker.
Soon, Lily and Jude stopped and Alexander grinned and the two under his control pulled Dexter to him.
"Easy enough." Alexander said and he pointed towards Dexter's forehead and a purple light shot into his head.
Dexter groaned as he began seeing things, memories, but not his.
He suddenly saw an accident scene. Alexander, with short, neat black hair, walking out of a tumbled car and he looked inside the car to see that his family wasn't moving.
Something caught Dexter's attention which was that everything around the car was red which reminded him of something.
"So this is your family. Your story is..." Dexter gritted his teeth as he felt a sharp pain in his head.
"Your... story... is similar to the same one... That Henry told to me." Dexter said with a lot of energy before losing consciousness.
Alexander looked shocked as he heard what Dexter said and he looked Dexter while shaking his head.
"That's impossible, he died in the car crash."
He entered Dexter's memories and it was exactly how his family died that Henry described the accident.
