"Wonderful. I was beginning to worry they wouldn't put up a decent fight."
Alister chuckled.
"Well, don't have all the fun without me."
"Wouldn't dream of it, darling."
The vampires raised their hands.
Countless crimson spears materialized above them, their sharpened tips pointing directly towards the two intruders.
"Die!"
With a collective roar, the spears descended.
The spears came crashing down.

A tremendous explosion rocked the passageway, sending clouds of dust and debris surging in every direction. The ground trembled beneath the impact, and the vampires instinctively shielded their faces from the resulting shockwave.
The vampire leader watched the scene with a satisfied smile.
"Heh. That should do it."
He lowered his hand, his expression carrying a hint of contempt.
"That's what your arrogance gets you, lesser creature. You ought to know your place."
As the dust began to settle, several of the vampires exchanged confident glances.
