Chapter 42: 42. The taste of human blood
"I plan to kill the colonel and take over the camp. The world was doomed anyway, yet everyone still had smiles on their faces." He then had an angry expression. "They don't know what it feels like to lose someone you love."
Dexter then looked up at him with furrowed brows.
"There are more people in this world. Even if it's an apocalypse, women are still out there." Dexter said.
"How dare you say that. You don't understand do you?" Freddy then looked at Dexter and his eyes glowed bright blue.
Dexter suddenly felt a pressure upon his mind as he started feeling pain which connected to his eyeballs.
[Mind control failed. Mind stat more than 100.]
"Huh? You're actually able to resist my mind control." Freddy furrowed his brows and then began to walk towards Dexter.
He turned, pulling out the axe from tree and then he continued walking.
Dexter still felt the pain even if whatever was supposed to happen didn't happen. It was searing.
"Argh!" Freddy then began to whip Dexter who began stumbling back, using only his arms as protection.
He wasn't wearing his Anti-daylight cloak as it was night and the whip tore his clothes. Blood splashed on the ground as Dexter closed his eyes behind his arms, hearing the grunts from Freddy and he tried to bear the pain in his head but he couldn't.
"AH!!"
*BANG!!*
Dexter was sent flying to another tree and then he tried to stand up but he couldn't. The pain was still there and Freddy was approaching.
He then remembered something and brought up his spirit interface.
"You still haven't died? I guess I'll kill you now cause bleeding to death doesn't seem scary enough." He smirked maniacally as he raised his axe in the air, and then he swung down.
The axe came with such speed but Dexter just rolled sideways before standing up with a rising uppercut from the side.
*Clank!*
The axe was almost buried into the ground and while Freddy was still suspended in the air with his head flunged backwards, Dexter shot out three mutant vives which held him tight.
"You... you have killed innocent people. I know I'm not a very good guy, but killing people just because you lost someone? I understand, you're feeling pain. But for what? Doing all this won't bring back your Wife." Dexter said, trying to persuade Freddy to come to his senses.
Freddy just grunted as he tried to get out of the vines but couldn't, he then sighed as he began to think about what Dexter said.
"Y... you're right. I won't gain anything by doing that." Freddy stopped struggling and looked down to the floor.
Dexter smiled and stretched his hand forward which had the bracelet and then... his vision flashed red.
'No. Not now.' Dexter held his head tightly as he closed his eyes.
"Are you okay?" Freddy said as he noticed Dexter who seemed to be struggling.
'This freak, release me from these ropes and I'll make sure to end you fast.' Freddy thought as he maintained his sad expression.
Dexter fell on his knees and his hands were on the floor to support him.
He saw long fingernails, sharp, strong, black.
He suddenly felt a pull and he gazed forward to see Freddy's neck glowing bright red with his veins pulsing.
"What the fuck?" Freddy felt a killing intent from Dexter as he saw the dude's eyes glowing brightly.
Dexter's lips were partly open and Freddy saw two fangs and then Dexter suddenly sped up towards him, becoming a blur, reaching behind Freddy in an instant.
'BLOOD! DRINK! BLOOD! DRINK! BLOOD! DRINK!
BLOOD! DRINK!...' Those were the words which echoed in his head like speakers and the scent coming from Freddy's neck was tantalizing.
"No, Dexter. Argh." Freddy screamed as Dexter's clawed hands held Freddy's head before bending it sideways to give way for what was coming.
"No, no, no, no, no, ARGHHHHH..." Freddy screamed in terror and horror as Dexter sank his fangs into his neck, drinking like a mad man.
Dexter's scelera then began to turn black as he drank more blood like there was no tomorrow.
The fear that Freddy felt made his heart even pump out more blood and Dexter was eager to finish every single drop. He wanted to stop but he couldn't.
It was the sweetest thing he had ever tasted in his life. The more he drank, the more energy he felt building up in his body, it was like steroids, but more effective.
Soon, Freddy stopped moving and a while later, Dexter let go of Freddy and retracted his vines before stepping back.
He looked at Freddy on the ground who died with a terrified expression, eyes still widened.
Dexter closed his eyes and mouth and carried him into a nearby building and dumped him there.
'Are you feeling guilty?'
"Me? Guilt. He killed a lot of people. It's his fault that he died. Assuming he didn't cut me so much I wouldn't have lost so much blood and I wouldn't need more."

'Wow. Seems like he didn't die for nothing after all.' Dexter thought with a smile as he continued walking but stopped when he saw another new notification.

"Woah." Dexter was shocked to see the bunch of rewards he got and he wondered whether he should kill more humans.
As if the tiran heard him, a notification appeared in front of him.
