Chapter 60: 60. Son of the sun (3 - End): Annihilation
Immediately he read the notification, he felt as if he was submerged in water, he saw himself standing in a vast open space with different images flashing in front of him.
His eyes were glued as image after image passed and he absorbed every bit of information like a sponge.
Dexter gasped as he came back in real life and his coat lit on fire. He didn't pay much attention to it though.
[Warning, using the technique will hurt your body.]
[Warning, using the...]
Dexter dismissed the warning notifications and stood up straight.
His coat was reduced to ashes to reveal his muscular body which had golden lines running through every part. Both of his eyes turned golden and his hair had streaks of gold in them.
He charged towards the titan at full speed, as he got closer and closer, his body was lit on flames and the flames got more bigger and bigger.
A golden light flashed passed a building, the remaining glass of the run down building burst upon the intense heat that just passed and the tree beside it was burnt to ashes.
The titan growled as it stopped advancing towards the broken building where it threw a little girl. It looked to the side to see the bright golden light approaching at a great speed and it put its pincers in front of it.
Upon closer look there was a guy on golden coloured flames and Dexter used his strength to jump towards the creature.
*BOOM!!*
The titan was carried by the force Dexter came with and it roared as it was pulled away.
Dexter knew for a fact that something was coming, he felt this surge of energy in him that wanted to be released.
So why not release it on the creature.
"AARRGHHHH!!" Dexter's eyes glowed brighter and brighter and he felt his skin being burnt by the flames on him and he shouted in pain as he released all that he held back.
*BOOOOOM!!*
A huge fire explosion shook the surrounding terrain. Buildings that were all around were destroyed by the golden flames.
The titan roared within the rising cloud of flames as it perished.
...
Beatrice who was inside one of the busses looked back to see the explosion and her brows raised as she didn't know what could do this. But she knew one thing for sure, Dexter and his friends were there.
The people in the trucks were all scared as they saw the rising clouds of flames which consumed the area.
"T... they did it, we're safe."
"We're safe."
Most of the people within the trucks teared up as they felt indepted to the young adults who just sacrificed themselves.
"Everyone should settle down." Beatrice said and looked towards Johnny and Chapman.
They were in the same bus with people wearing black who have already gone to Heaven's tower.
"We still have to cross the forest. There are still things there, be alert." Beatrice said with a fierce gaze as they were nearing a straight road that lead out of the forest which Dexter and his team never used.
The main problem, it was too open so monsters were bound to attack them now.
...
Back at where the explosion took place, there was a giant hole in the charred titan's chest. It's pincers were no more as they exploded and it was already dead.
In the middle of its chest was a person. His body was burnt and black and smoke emanated from his body.
The person's eyes opened to reveal two glowing red pupils and the eyes darted around.
'My whole body hurts. Using fire related skills hurt vampires huh?' Dexter thought. 'I can't even move. This is awful.'
He just laid there, looking up. But then the familiar golden words began to appear in front of him.
[You have slayed level 20 Mind scorpio. You have gained 13,107,200 spirit points and 3905 Heaven's tower points.]
[You have gained 7 items.]
[You have levelled up to level 14. You have gained 3 stat points to distribute freely]
[You have levelled up to level 15...]
[You have... level 16...]
[...]
[You have levelled up to level 18. You have gained 3 stat points to distribute freely.]
Dexter sighed inwardly as he couldn't move to swat the screen away.
'I wonder where I am. Here reeks of burnt meat.' He thought. 'At least the sun can't touch me here.'
Looking from above there was the dead titan that was no longer recognizable and in its chest was a large hole which had a person in it.
...
After thirty more minutes Dexter started to be able to move again.
'The pain in my arms and legs are almost gone.' He thought as he stood up from the ground.
As he moved his arms the black chunks of burnt skin fell off to reveal a new, fair skin which looked extremely healthy.
He sat at a corner as he waited for the sun to set.
After more than an hour the sun finally went away and he stood up. His wounds were almost gone and he used his hands to remove the burnt flesh still sticking on his body.
He then brought up his status screen to see what changed.

Looking at his new stats he noticed that his strength stat was lower than usual... but then he remembered.
'My shadow spear!'
He jumped out of the hole he was in with a single leap and he turned his gaze to the distance to see that he was quite far away from the building where he dropped it to learn the technique.
'It'll take a while to walk there.' He thought and he then began to head towards the place.
'The technique consists of stages with each higher stage being far more powerful than the last. Let me see if it's in the skills section.' Dexter thought, but as he wanted to bring up his status he heard a faint breathing from a direction and he looked to see Lily in a building in the distance which was partly destroyed, still breathing.
'She's still alive!' Dexter ran over to her and he immediately saw that she wasn't very alive but was still breathing and seeing.
Her pupil darted towards him and a teardrop rolled from the side of her face as she was in too much pain to even move.
'Must be the half-life ring.' He put a finger on his chin.
'I wish there was a way to save her.' Dexter looked down with a sad face. But then he looked up again in sudden realization.
'Wait. That skill of mine...' He thought, bringing up his screen again.
