"Oh no."

"What are the camp leaders doing?"

"They'll protect us... right?"

"They weren't even able to take down a titan last week. We're doomed."

Marco and the others had no words and an old man in a black suit walked towards the entrance of the camp where Marco and Henry stood.

"Isn't that the military general?"

"Yeah, he stayed indoors to keep the walls up."

"It's my first time seeing him."

"What's he going to do?"

"Will he defend us?"

"What are the leaders talking about?"

The people fell into a dilemma as they were confused on what to do. Whether the leaders of the camp would be able to protect them or not.

Some already had dead expressions as they gave up on the whole thing in the first place.

"Marco."

Marco turned around as he heard his name and he was shocked to see the last person he expected to see.

It was a man with bald head and a thick white beard who had a pair of shades.

"General Shawn. I didn't expect you to leave the shelter." Marco said and Henry furrowed his brows as he knew who general Shawn was.

The General of the Nigerian army, and the one who organized this camp.

"How could I not come out after seeing the message sent to me?" The General said as he walked passed them.

"Actually, everyone recieved the message." Marco said and the general looked at all the people around.

He removed his shades to reveal that he had one blind eye and he looked far into the distance to see creatures charging at them.

"Marco, more than 70 creatures are approaching the camp from the west." Mike said from atop the walls and they opened the gates wide to see the sky darken and the general swallowed.

"Be strong men. I'll form a barrier around the camp, those that can fight should gear up and be ready." The General said in a stern voice.

"We fight till our last breath." The General said and a big missile launcher appeared above his hand and he grabbed it before pointing it towards the creatures approaching in the distance

"Die, you motherfuckers." The General said and in that instant, the missile shot forwards towards the creatures.

**An hour ago**

Back at itasin forest the witches and warlocks waited and when they heard the sounds of a man shouting, they shuddered and something about the air around them changed.

"The barrier is down." Asher said as he stood up and walked towards the castle.

The others followed behind him and they were all with stern expressions.

"Who do you think shouted just now?" Barn asked.

"Should be Alexander. Lucian is a very cruel man." Carina said and Barn sighed as he just continued walking forward.

Soon, Lucian and his maid, Gia, stepped out of the castle doors and they saw the witches and warlocks there standing.

"Well, goodbye." He said as he raised his hand.

"Wait! Did you really kill him?" Veneta asked as she looked at the castle and she could still see four traces of life in the castle.

"No, I gave him a fate worse than death." Lucian smiled.

"No. That's..." Lisa was shocked as she heard what Lucian said.

"Lisa, you look shocked? What is he talking about?" Carina asked but Asher spoke up instead.

"You turned him into a vampire. Making him lose his connections to the spirits." Asher said and Lucian nodded before yawning.

The rest of them seemed shocked as they heard what really happened and they looked at Lucian with very cautious eyes.

"We'll take it from here." Lisa said and Lucian dissipated into red mist before vanishing into mid air and Gia did the same and just like that, they were gone.

The witches and warlocks entered into the castle to see three people unconscious on the floor and they gazed at a man in chains at the centre of the hall who had blood all over his body.

His hair was full, dusty, and messy and they looked at the person with cold gazes.

"He deserves it. I'm leaving." Barn said as he turned around and vanished into black smoke.

Lisa walked forward and looked at Alexander very closely. She touched Alexander's head and then a red light flew out of his body.

"You're taking away most of his vampire abilities? He'll remain a failed one." Carina said but Lisa answered her by giving her a death glare.

"You know what? I think it suites him." Carina said and she turned around at that moment.

"The deities will soon increase the difficulty of the apocalypse according to the prophesy. I need to conceal my home." Carina said before turning into a small light that floated in the air before shooting out of the castle at light speed.

Veneta turned away from Alexander and looked at the unconscious people on the floor and Lisa's eyes went to them too.

"Asher, what did you see about him?" Lisa asked, pointing Dexter.

Asher looked at the young vampire on the ground and then he looked back at Lisa.

"He... his fate is mixed up. He is destined to be a beacon of hope, or a harbinger of destruction." Asher said and Lisa furrowed her brows.

"The last time you said that was when we found out about Alexander." Veneta said with a tranquil expression.

"Well, Alexander was destined to become a harbinger of destruction or a person who will change the supernatural world. So it's not the same." Asher said and Veneta still looked at Dexter with a frown.

"Wouldn't it do us good to just kill him now?" Lisa said and Asher shook his head.

"I'll keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't go down a dangerous path." Asher said before fading into the air, leaving Lisa and Veneta there.

Lisa gave one last look to Alexander before turning into a bright flame and flying out of the castle.

Lisa still stuck around and then the sky started to darken and golden words began to manifest in front of her.

"It's finally time huh? This part will be hard to survive." Veneta said as she read what was on the screen.
