Besides the Elder Vampire, the room was packed with cultists, some of whom were wearing guards uniforms. Most however were on the verge of dying. Dozens had already turned into zombies, that in turn were starting to bite into the other cultist and devour them. Several similar skeletons that they had faced were standing guard as well.

Standing next to the chanting Vampire, was a man in armor, using Examination on him she discovered that he was Trevor.

Beryl whispered "Leave Trevor to me, I was without a sword last time, it's time for me to even the score."

Alexia nodded, and whispered what she saw about the Vampire Lord to the others and asked "Any Idea how we can deal with him?"

Beryl said "I know Oliver has some powerful holy magic, If we can get him down he might be able to do something."

"If we get that close, that Vampire will be sure to notice, and we'll have to fight it anyway. No we will have to distract it if we want to get Oliver down. I have a bunch of skill points, so I'll search quickly for a skill that will be able to distract him." Megan said and started to look through the system store.

Turning to Lena, Alexia said "Hey while we were distracting him, you'll have to sneak over and get him down." Lena nodded excitedly. "He's out of mana, so take these mana potions to give to him." Alexia said pulling out the weak mana potions she had.

"With that Mind Domination skill, we have to be careful." Bob said worriedly. "I have no desire to lose control of myself again."

Alexia nodded and took the chance to upgrade her skills with the point she had picked up. Then looked at Megan and asked "Did you find something?"

"Yeah, it's called Word of Pain. It took most of my skill points to get, I was able to upgrade it twice" Megan said, and Alexia took a quick look at the skill.

"Alright, We better get to it, before he summons that Evil God." Alexia said. They nodded and snuck into the room. Lena started to slowly make her way too the blood pit by hiding behind the statues of the Undead. Alexia got the attention of the room by blasting out a wave of flames through the crowd.

However Evren and Trevor were just out of range of the flames and escaped. Most of the cultists did not and died burning to death. The Zombies that didn't die started to shamble towards them, as did the skeletons. Trevor roared and charged towards them. Beryl ran to meet them and they clashed in a flurry of blows.

Henrik and Bob started to hack back the crowd of undead as they approached. Evren snarled and closed the book he was holding and placed it onto a pedestal. Turning towards them he yelled "I will not be delayed by your meddling any longer!" With a wave of his hand bodies of cultists turned into pink mist as they basically exploded and blood tendrils began to flow out and into the air.

A sense of danger began to flow over them and Megan ran closer to the Vampire Lord and yelled a word that hurt Alexia's ears. When it hit Evren he grunted in pain, and the collected blood collapsed onto the ground with a splash. Taking this chance while he was frozen, Alexia began to pelt him with Flameshots. The First Two hit and caused a lot of damage, but Evren finally broke the paralysis and swatted the other Flameshots down.

Beryl and Trevor were locked in a fierce battle. Trevor did not carry a shield so he was a bit quicker then Beryl, and rained blows down upon her. Beryl had to back up under his strength. Suddenly she moved to the side and Trevor moved forward and Beryl sliced deep into his side. "That's for ruining my fucking date." Beryl said.

Henrik and Bob were fighting in tandem against the zombies and Skeletons. The zombies were of little hindrance, but the Skeletons were proving a tougher fight. One of them wielded a great warhammer, it swung and caught Bob in the chest causing Bob to fly back. Henrik caught him and brought his Greatsword down upon the skeleton and cut it into half.

Lena had finally managed to sneak to the blood pit, where the vampires inside were still having an orgy obviously oblivious to what was going on. Oliver looked down at her and said "The chains are locked with a key, it's on that pedestal over there." Lena looked over and saw the Vampire lord was heading towards her friends leaving the pedestal open.

Evren reached and the very space began to warp, and terrifying large bats popped into existence and dived down upon Alexia and the others. Alexia began to fire on them and tried to keep them off of the others as they fought. Suddenly she was attacked from the back from another bat and it picked her up. Megan saw Alexia being carried up, and used her whip to latch onto Alexia.

Getting caught in a tug of war, Alexia used her Flameshield to discourage the Bat from keeping hold of her, and it let her go causing her to fall down being pulled towards Megan. Alexia crashed into Megan bowling her over. Getting up quickly Alexia held her hand out and picked Megan back up.

Henrik and Bob finished killing the undead and started to kill the diving bats. Beryl was whittling down Trevor. He was getting more angry and his opening grew in response. Beryl said "You were always good with a blade Trevor, too bad thinking was never your strong suit!" Beryl said dodging Trevors swinging blade again and this time rammed her sword through his head killing him.

Evren growing irritated, yelled out "Enough, of this. Submit!." His voice rang out and crashed into Alexia. A roar of static began to fill her ears, and she could no longer move her body. She could only watch in horror as Evren began to walk towards them. She felt herself start to fall to her knees and she could not stop it.

Through the static, she suddenly heard Megan say "No, You Submit." Alexia suddenly found the pressure on her had been lessened, and she found Megan and the Vampire were locked into a contest of wills. Megan was releasing her full aura and using a mixture of commanding voice and the word of pain. Evren however was forcing his way and walking towards Megan saying "I will enjoy ripping your throat open, and feast on your blood."

Megan was starting to buckle under his strength of mind, and he was reaching out for her. A great white ball of light suddenly struck Evren in the back causing him to roar out in pain. In the back Oliver had been set free by Lena and was leaning over looking exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

Evren retreated back towards the Statue. "Damn you all, My godhood will not be taken away from me!" He reached out and started to pull energy from somewhere only to frown and said "What have.." Evren twitched and spat out blood and his health dropped dramatically. He looked dazed for a moment, and cursed and pulled out a Medallion. "I don't know how you did it, but you will all die now!" Holding the Medallion up he yelled "I call upon the pact-"

Starting to recover from being under Evren’s will, Alexia was watching as he was starting something with the medallion, when suddenly she noticed a woman standing next to Evren. She held a glowing blade and had cut the medallion in half. Alexia suddenly realized that the women had been standing there for a while, and she hadn't taken notice of her.

Stunned by what just happened, Evren, suddenly swatted the woman away into a wall. A women in a cloak popped out and screamed "Nicholas!" Evren looked at the broken medallion and started to laugh "Fine, if I was meant to die today, then all of you will die with me!" Turning towards the statue he dashed to the pedestal and reached into a box and pulled out a heart.

The heart was beating with a loud thump. With each beat, it released a wave of corruption. "Not enough to fully break the seal, just enough to kill all of you!" Evren said crazily.

Alexia started to feel her mana again and was trying to form something to stop Evren. She watched as Evren placed the heart into the opening of the statue. "Let this city burn under her corruption!" Evren laughed insanely. The statue began to glow with a sickly red glow and tendrils of energy began to grow out from the statue. The whole room began to shake.

Evren looked at them and said "Bow before her worms, and -" He was cut short as a spear of blood pierced through his chest. "Ugh-" He said gasping as the spear lifted him off the ground. A tall pale woman with massive demonic wings stood behind him holding the spear.

"Well now Evren, look at what has become of you!" The woman said, looking at the squirming Evren.

Evren spat out "Fuck you who-" his cursing turned into a groan as he started to crumple into onto himself and burst into a cloud of dust.

The woman shook off the spear and said "Dust to dust, Evren. Even the Immortals will die one day."

Alexia examined the woman.

Immense power flowed out this Vampire, making Alexia want to kneel before her. The circle surrounding the statue suddenly lit up and a pillar of light suddenly shot up around the statue and bored into the roof radiating corruption. The shaking grew worse. "Oh Evren, what a fool you were. No matter how many times I told him the truth he just kept going." She chuckled and pulled out a giant red crystal. With a flick of her hand, the crystal shot into the pillar of light.

The pillar of light let out a furious roar and the corruption flowing out if started to weaken as a strong red glow burst out from within the pillar and seemed to consume the sickly red light. Soon it was just a pillar of blood red energy. "Now we just need a channel." The Vampire queen said and looked over at the woman that had cut the medallion. She was nearly dead from the blow and her friend was holding her.

"Time for your payment for helping me out." Elizabeth said and waved her hand and the woman suddenly was lifted off the ground and flew towards the Vampire Queen. With a flick she sent the woman into the pillar disappearing inside. "There we go," The Vampire queen turned towards them "Thanks for the help. Can't tell you how long I wanted to do that to the old bag of bones."

"Who are you?" Megan asked.

"I'm the Queen of all Vampires, the second of our kind. I must be going now. I've got things to do, blood to drink, kingdoms to build." Elizabeth said and as she flapped her wings, looked at Megan and Alexia "Tell your god to take good care of her. When I've got everything ready, I'll come for her." With that she ripped open a hole in the air and left through it.

A few seconds later, the pillar of energy died out. The statue was now in pieces, with a very confused woman lying on top looking up at a hole that led up to the sky. The woman in the cloak ran to her. Beryl went to check on Oliver.

Megan looked at Alexia and said "What the fuck just happened?"

"I think we won?" Alexia said.
