Hannah and Tracy were really shocked at what they saw and then they watched the girl stand still as more zombies came towards her.

The remaining zombies came from every direction and as they pounced on Lily, she turned suddenly turned into gaseous green mist and vanished into thin air.

"Sh... she died?" Hannah was confused and she looked forward to see green mist gathering to form a person.

Lily walked towards them with a bored expression.

"So you see. That is what you got to have to survive. Abandon the sense of normalcy," Dexter said from behind them and they were startled.

"I... I'll do next."

Dexter looked towards Hannah with a surprised face. She wasn't exactly too much of an outgoing type, her friend was.

"I don't want to burden you too much. You said I only have to kill them to get stronger?" She asked as she looked at Dexter with squinted eyes.

"Yes." Dexter nodded.

"How about I help you guys this time," Dexter said as he vanished and appeared within the group of zombies out of the shadows.

He sent out a fury of punches at such a high speed, breaking the bones in the limbs of the zombies, making them immobile, he seemed to be a blur as the girls couldn't see his movements at all.

Dexter walked casually back towards them and they were stunned at how he remained calm even after that.

"How are you even able to stay calm?" Tracy mumbled and she put a hand on her chest and felt her heart beating extremely fast just from watching.

Dexter grunted as he held his head. His pupils began flashing in a red colour again as the girls hearts were beating louder and louder.

When he looked at Hannah who seemed scared, she immediately managed to calm down.

'Is this really my limit? After two and half days, the craving is back.' Dexter thought with a tired sigh.

Sure being a vampire was a choice he had to make to survive outside of that store. Now it's like a curse that everywhere he sees blood he feels the urge to drink.

He walked towards Hannah and he summoned his shadow spear and gave it to her.

"Here. Don't worry, I'm by your side," Dexter said with a smile, holding his urges back.

Hannah nodded before taking a deep breath and walked towards the zombies that tried to still move towards them even with broken limbs.

"Don't think of them as humans. They aren't. They are now mindless beasts. You're just putting them to rest," Dexter said behind her and she raised the spear with both of her hands and made it point downwards before looking down at the zombie. All of a sudden she felt irritated as she saw the broken bones of the zombie sticking out.

"They aren't human anymore." Dexter's words repeated in her head and she closed her eyes and stabbed the spear into the zombie's head, finally making her first kill.

She opened her eyes to see the spear inside the skull of the zombie, the wound bleeding.

'I was studying nursing anyway. Blood doesn't freak me too much.' Hannah thought but she still found her hands shaking.

Two hands then suddenly held hers from behind and she looked up to see Dexter.

"You did great. You got the notifications right?" Dexter asked and Hannah nodded as she looked in front of her.

[You have killed level 7 zombie. You have gained 1600 spirit points and 80 Heaven's tower points.]

[You have levelled up to level 6. You have gained 18 stat points to distribute freely.]

[You have gained an item.]

[Summon item] - [Yes] | [No]

"I alsp also got an item." Hannah said and Dexter nodded in aprooval.

'Seems like items are more easier to get since it's been a while since I saw a new skill.' Dexter thought in conclusion as he noted the differences in skills and Items.

"You can still kill the rest." Dexter said and Hannah nodded before walking forward and killing three more.

...

"Why stop?" Dexter asked.

"Tracy is still there." Hannah said and handed Dexter his spear back.

As she gave it back to him, she felt suddenly weak and almost fell to the ground, but Dexter caught her.

"Yeah. Letting go of the weapon, the stat points it gave will be removed too." Dexter said and Hannah nodded before standing straight.

"That went well. What level are you now?" He asked as he dismissed his spear.

"Level 8. It says I'm ready to enter tower of heaven." Hannah said with a curious tone and he nodded before giving her a hug.

"I'll tell you about it later." Dexter said as he signaled for Tracy to come towards them.

Dexter could hear Tracy's quickened heartbeat and his head rang just from the loud sound and he began to see her veins glowing red.

He just looked the other way and focused on his girlfriend and the urge stopped.

"So, you ready?" Dexter asked and Tracy balled her fists before nodding.

Dexter summoned the spear and gave it to Tracy and she walked forward, not even needing any motivational speech.

...

Back at the camp Marco wiped off sweat on his forehead as he was exhausted from what he's been doing.

"Separating fights is not easy." He mumbled.

"Marco! A group of humans are approaching!"

Hearing Mike's voice from atop the wall Marco went out of the camp to see an incoming group of people approaching.

Most of them in the front looked very tired and beaten except a man in the front with dirty dreaded hair and ragged clothes.

The man clutched a sheathed katana on his waist and in his hands was a compass. He didn't habe a any foot wear.

Dreg from within the camp saw this man from the gate and ran away deeper into the camp and he jumped the wall to find Dexter, shocking the people that saw him.
