'Damn. I had to use all my free points in mind stat to break free of his mind attack.' Dexter thought as he looked at his spirit interface.

At this moment Dexter didn't feel anything about the death of Freddy. He didn't feel much except the new rush of energy and strength in his body.
'All the information about the skills entered my brain. Weird.' He thought as he then closed his eyes.
Suddenly, black smoke began to cover him. He suddenly got blinded by the black smoke and it dispersed to reveal a fist red sized bat, flapping it's wings frantically.
"Damn. I'm so small." The bat spoke in a squeaky voice.
'That was weird. I think I'll stick to thoughts.' Dexter thought as he turned his head sideways to look at the wings.
It was twice as wide as his body right now and he felt that he could flap for an hour without getting tired.
He then flew and hooked on a building's window and then he closed his eyes. The long ears on his head were so effective.
He could hear zombies from far away, mutant insects creeping, crickets, even the wind which wasn't too hard, he heard it all.
'I thought bat's were blind. Well, I guess it doesn't apply to vampires.' Dexter thought but then fell into another dilemma.
'The tiran said I have to kill other vampires for bonuses. Does that mean I'm not the only vampire?' Dexter put his wing on his chin. 'If that is so then I'm not going to be the first vampire. Chances of being Dracula are 0 now.'
Dexter then jumped out of the building and flapped his wings, getting used to the bat body.
'According to the skill information I can change size. But it's useless unless I want to become a dragon.' He thought again.
...
It took him an entire hour to get used to his wings and now he was flying freely while chuckling.
'I can fly over the forest to meet up with my brothers now.' Dexter thought but his smile then faded. 'But I'll be abandoning the others.'
Dexter fell into deep thought.
He couldn't possibly abandon Rina, Zain, and Leo. He was already friends with them and even the colonel looks out for him.
'Damn. Having friends has it's upsides and downsides. I wonder how Henry and the others are doing now.' He thought while remembering his close friends from school.
'Hannah said she can stay about a month. There are no network towers around so I haven't been able to call her or the guys since.' He then turned to the forest before looking past it.
He wasn't able to spot any network towers and he sighed tiredly as he just gave up for now.
He then went back to camp and he decided to head in through the main entrance to not implicate himself.
The soldiers at the gate all laughed while talking about the things happening around.
"Sure. Sure. It's kind of funny."
"The way she did it though like..."
"That woman is fine as hell."
While all these soldiers were busy discussing about women, a few were using binoculars to look out for threats.
"Huh? What the...? Yo something is heading this way." The soldier said, immediately alerting the others and they all picked up their guns.
The mist in the area made the creature approaching to be unclear but the way it walked was like that of a human being.
"Should we fire?"
"Hold on."
"Wait."
Soon, the figure emerged to reveal a bloodied Dexter. He had dry blood all over his body and his clothes were still torn. Although his wounds healed, the blood made it look like he was brutally injured.
The soldiers were shocked. One, Freddy wasn't with him, two, if something was able to harm Dexter to this extent, then they were all screwed.
"Wha... what happened?"
Dexter turned to look at the soldiers with a dull face.
"Turns out Freddy was the one assaulting and killing people. I had to stop him." He said as he walked past them and entered into the camp.
"Damn, Freddy?"
"Would he be strong enough to inflict such injuries on Dexter?"
"He could have been hiding his strength."
"Yeah, after all, there isn't a way to know people who have stepped on the path of leveling up."
The soldiers were really shocked by what Dexter told then.
Freddy?
The super nice guy that always treats them when they get injured. That Freddy, that always had a dull face.
No one would even suspect him.
No one.
After Dexter reached his room he immediately made his way to the public bathroom of the camp. There were only ten bathrooms and hundreds of people. Although the space was small, he managed to just focus on bathing.
He dismissed his clothes which were totems too into his spirit to take a bath. To his surprise, after he summoned them again, they were brand new.
'What the...?' As if noticing his confusion, golden words began appearing in front of him.
[10 points of spirit energy has been consumed for the restoration of items, casual shirt, battle pants.]
When he summoned it again he saw that it was as good as new and he was even more impressed and confused at the same time.
"That means as long as I summon the totems back to my spirit, it will recover. But what if I don't summon it back? Well." He cleaned his black hair as he went back to the room to get some goodnight sleep.
...
The next morning, after doing his daily exercises Dexter waited for the others to wake up before delivering the news.
"Really? It was Freddy this whole time?" Zain was in disbelief.
Dexter just nodded.
"But he was a good guy." Rina put on a sad face and Dexter just rolled his eyes.
"He was a good guy and he killed more than five people just for his satisfaction." Dexter said and Rina then reasoned the situation with them.
After they talked Dexter made his way to the colonel's place to give a report but Leo blocked him from passing.
"What?" He asked with a raised brow.
"Tell me what really happened with Freddy. I know you not telling the truth."
