Chapter 251: 248. Third key fragment
Here's your chapter with the punctuation and spelling corrected:
---
Dexter wasn't able to run forever, and soon, two silhouettes moved in the shadows. Dexter had to use his vampire eyes to see through the shadows and spot the two people waiting to ambush them.
He attacked with his spear, blocking an incoming attack.
A loud clanking sound rang out, and Dexter was pushed back.
He looked forward to see a young man in his twenties with shoulder-length dreadlocks and brown skin. His eyes shone a bright red, looking straight at Dexter with no emotion at all.
"Calm down, Brett. The master said she wanted him to herself," another guy came forward from the shadows, smiling at them.
He had short blue hair and red eyes and had a nose ring. He stared at the group of five people in front of him and moved to the side.
A woman appeared between them, and she immediately saw Dexter.
"So you're the leader of the new coven... The Sunwalkers? I wouldn't waste much of our time. Give me the key fragment or die," she said to him, and then Dexter gritted his teeth as he gazed at her.
Jude and Collins came and stood before him with their weapons unleashed.
"Tsk..." Dexter looked at her and decided to challenge her.
"I can't do that for some reason," Dexter said, and then he got in his stance.
His eyes glowed a bright red, and the others too brandished their weapons.
"Hahaha, take the others out; the leader is mine," Rose smiled, and then the two people beside her dashed forward, clashing with Kila, Jude, Lily, and Collins.
Dexter gritted his teeth, and then before he could react, he swung his spear horizontally as he saw the woman dash towards him so fast, even in her high heels and uncomfortable gown.
Dexter's attack was dodged, and then he felt his chest being pierced, and he was sent flying backward as he felt a pressure on his chest.
He crashed into a wall in another direction. Dexter's eyes widened as he stared into the distance in confusion about what had just happened.
Rose appeared in front of him, and she held his jaw and raised his gaze to hers.
"What's your name, honey?" she asked him, and then Dexter swallowed as he looked at her.
"...Dexter. Now, call off your vampires. I'll give you the key fragment," Dexter said, and then with a smile, the two guys came towards her and stood by her side.
Dexter gave her the key, and she smiled before she walked out of the scene.
"Dexter, what happened?" Jude said as he rushed over to the location.
"I gave her the key fragment," Dexter said, and then Jude couldn't say anything else.
"The way she moved, she was so fast I couldn't react in time. Before I knew it, her claws were about to pierce my heart. If I wasn't wearing armor, I would have been dead for sure," he explained to them, and they all felt at a loss.
"It's not the end; we can still find other things in the castle," Dexter said, and then he stood up.
"I respect your decision," Kila said as she helped him stand up.
*"For now, just focus on surviving the week,"*and Dexter said to all of them, and they all moved together.
The next week was a bloodbath. Soon, other vampires knew that the Snow Coven's leader held the fragment of the key, and they all frantically charged at her to obtain it.
They were all killed brutally, with some even dying.
Rose Snow only focused on finding the last piece as she traversed the entire castle, moving from door to door.
...
Five days later...
"Dexter, watch out!" Kila shouted, and then he turned around and swiped his spear, beheading a vampire that leaped towards him.
Dexter was now with his mother and his coven, and they all stayed in one place. Over the last few days, they had encountered many vampires who drank other vampires' blood to grow stronger, like the two people who were frozen somewhere in the castle.
'It's only one day left. It's only one day left,' Dexter thought to himself as he dismissed his spear and looked around.
"Dexter, it's going to be the final round. We're all going into the world of blood and shadow, where there are opportunities for growth for a vampire, but that's also where the vampire king resides currently," Kila said to him with a straight face, and Dexter put a finger on his chin.

'The vampires in this castle are all crazy. Even the originator, Dracula... Did he really set up a stage to watch vampires kill each other?' Dexter felt annoyed at the thought.
No matter what, he wasn't going to die here today.
*BOOM!!*
The entire castle shook with a loud sound. Dexter noticed that the sound was nearby and quickly ran to another room, which turned out to be a wide hall.
His eyes widened as he saw Dominic looking at Rose calmly. Rose, on the other hand, couldn't stop smiling to herself as she stared at Dominic.
Her skin began to turn a pale blue, and black horns grew from her head. Her long hair waved, and she tore her dress with her claws, making it short.
Dexter swallowed as he watched Dominic unveil his true form. His fangs grew longer, and his eyes glowed a bright red. His brown skin turned ashen, and his aura changed completely.
Dexter could feel bloodlust emitting from both of them, and he noticed the second fragment of the key inside Rose's clothes, between her breasts.
Dominic had a wild appearance now as his sclera turned black. Dexter took note of this, and he gritted his teeth as he also wanted to get that fragment.
"Hm..." He raised a brow, and a smile began to form on his lips.
*"What are you smiling for?"* Kila's voice rang out in his head, and he gazed at the two vampires about to fight.
*"Do you know what a third party is?"* Dexter asked her, and Jude and Collins immediately came from the sides with smiles on their faces.
