บท 263: 260. Seeking blood crystals

The knight who was below Dexter's feet laughed, then raised his hands in surrender.

"I surrender." He smiled, and Dexter let him get up before walking towards Sarabi.

"The crystal..." Dexter said, stretching his hand forward to take it from her.

She felt intimidated by his stare and couldn't help but give it to him.

"Sarabi, who told you to give it to him?" Van asked as he walked towards them, but Sarabi was already caught in Dexter's gaze.

As she put it in Dexter's hand, he smiled at her and jumped upwards, sprouting a pair of black-colored wings before flying towards his own group.

"Ah... He took the crystal..." Sarabi seemed to regain her senses, and Van sighed, facepalming.

"Looks like he compelled you into that one," Van said, then looked up to where Dexter flew. "His wings though, they don't look like the vampire king's or our master's... He's different."
