The elder gods had used all their strength in the battlefield on earth before creating Zenok with every ounce of power they had. They were weakened beyond measures giving the remaining warriors an advantage over the gods.
"How come Lady Camilla who is mortal can fight just as much as the other immortal warriors?" I asked Callipso.
"She is a Scythian warrior," he replied. "Their physiology is different from that of humans. The women all have the vampiric natures of strength, healing factors, immortality and speed but not the bloodsucking disadvantage it carries."
"Oh," was all I could say before Reya, Umbra and Lady Camilla attacked a weakened Kamalu.
The battle commenced again as the elder gods now exhausted started to lose against their subjects who had gotten tired of being beaten and were ready to give up their lives for humanity.
Everything started to get rowdy with Callipsos vision dividing into seven frames, each one for the elder gods and their opponents.
***
Drake vs Senile and the Vampires.
***
"Hold him down!" Senile ordered as the five Williams vampires jumps on Drake, pinning him to the ground.
"Now!" King Exodus screamed as Reya, Umbra, Ramul and Enzo, all Angus vampires blitz the elder god with punches and kicks to weaken him from moving.
"Did it work?" a William vampire grunted not wanting to let go of the god.
"It has to," Senile said. "Your strength as Primordials are unrivalled in the mortal world."
Senile starts to move closer to the god with intentions of finishing him off, "It's time to end this."
Just as he gets in range to his target, a flame is released from the elder gods mouth pushing him into the wall as he screams in pain. The vampires jump out of the way looking at the flames burn through Seniles skin before Drake falls onto the ground in exhaustion.
"Kill..." Senile whimpered. "Kill Drake now."
The vampires ready themselves before attacking the elder god with murderous intents who had pretended to be weak just to lure them into its firing range. As the vampires blur their way to him, he releases a large burst of flames which they dodge easily. Jumping into the air in response to their reactions, he punches through the ten creatures with ease, taking them through the portal and into the earth world again.

They all laid on the ground stunned from the outburst of strength being shown by the elder god. The earth around was getting vaporized by the clash between Callipso and Zenok giving the environment an apocalyptic look. Exodus stood to his feet ready to go toe to toe with the god with the other vampires following his lead.
"Let's see how well you deal without your precious gods," the elder god chuckled flying towards King Exodus.
"Attack!" The King ordered, blurring through every rock and sand before engaging into a hand to hand combat with the god. The god fought each creature with ease breaking bones and tearing flesh without sweating. Within minutes, he had defeated every vampire on the field as they laid on the ground, their limbs broken in numerous ways which impeded their healing factor.
"Is this what you call a battle?" the god asked sitting on a boulder which broke under his weight. "I have lived for millions of years unlike you lots who lived for thousands. Did you think your vampirism was enough to take me out?"
I watched each vampire struggle to get to their feet but it was no use, they were bleeding as humans would, making me believe that the god had somehow turned them human.
"In a couple of minutes you will all be dead and I would join my siblings in finishing off your gods," the god smiled levitating into the air.
"We're not done here," King Exodus grunted to his feet his healing starting to take effect. "Some of us are not ordinary vampires."
The god looked at the King before him as the rest of the Angus vampires got onto their feet ready to go for another round.
"That was intense," Reya smiled. I watched all the vampires change, moving away from their human nature to a more monstrous one. Their hair which had been brown since the beginning of the battle turned white, their canines growing longer revealing blade sharp teeth, their black pupils extending to the whites of their eyes with their skin turning pale.
"No matter what happens, know that I loved being with each and everyone of you," King Exodus remarks cracking his knuckles. "And I am proud to have been an Angus vampire alongside you all."
"Don't worry brother," Enzo chuckled. "After this battle, we can drink from the house of the gods."
"I agree," Reya chipped in with Umbra and Ramul smiling.
The god who had been floating in the air sighed heavily, "And here I was planning to give you all a merciful death."
The god drops onto the ground cracking it as the vampires blitzes into the deity without holding back. They moved differently from the last battle, it was like they could read each others minds, jumping out of harms way before the god could land a punch but releasing theirs in violent explosions. The strength they had were increased by a thousand fold for each punch caused the god to bleed even when the god upgraded with each battle. One of the vampires, Reya ran away from the battlefield as her siblings fought against the god unbothered by their sisters disappearance.
"We're almost there," Umbra grunted before being pushed out of the way by Ramul who did a double spin, kicking the god on the cheek which sent him flying into a demolished mountain.
"You will all pay!" he screamed as Enzo punched the god across the cheek sending him flying into another demolished mountain.
"Nice punch brother," Exodus cheered his brother, however, his celebration was cut short when a light blew through his right shoulder slicing his arm off.
"Fuck!" he screamed dropping onto the ground in pain with blood pouring from his open shoulder where his hand should be. In the distance, Drake had turned into a completely different creature, his eyes burning with red fire, horns growing out of his forehead and the shadow which encompassed his body now burning with great intensity.
"Now you shall all pay for your insolent behavior," he growled before disappearing into thin air.
"He's behind you!" a William vampire screamed as his body got vaporized by the flames which had hit Exodus earlier.
"What was that?" I asked Callipso.
"The flame of creation," he answered sitting into a chair. "It has the power to destroy anything it touches including the elder gods themselves."
I felt sorry for the vampires who had to fight against the god, but I knew deep within me that this was not the end of this battle, it was only the beginning of something greater.
