The small break for potions, bloodbags and flesh was refreshing and boosted Sora's morale. Most of the werewolves and demons were wiped out, so the alliance continued to focus on them as Bishop cloned himself again after eating an elven food capsule.
"You guys work so well together and so quickly, I thought my second form was impressive but it's nothing compared to what you all do," Rissa said kindly.
"Are you kidding? When you had all those werewolves drooling over you, that was so cool. Julius was able to get free kills because they were in some type of trance!" Sera exclaimed.
The Bishops immediately got back to work, and the party had to remind each other to stop admiring him.
Bishop was on an entirely different level from everyone. His clones just as powerful as he was and they were able to shred through the titans, with ease. They acted on their own fruition and could use every skill he had.
Fireballs shot from some of their mouths like Leila's would shoot, some of them used fire around their fists to simply pound the enemies to death. It was even hard for some of the party members to track who the real one actually was.
Sora and Brie could tell the real one because he had a certain flair.
"I wish his brother was here to fight with us, I'd bet those two would have fun fighting together," Sora said to Brie as they killed a few more demons.
"I told you, you should have read his skills. Just wait till he uses his horns to zap someone. Fire, electricity, unreal strength, teleportation, and that's just a few!" Brie said as she teleported to protect Sora's blind spot.
"You two are fun to watch fight," Sera said as she sped past with white hair, slicing neck after neck.
At this point, the Blackmore's stopped using their necromancy. It just confused the alliance as to who was alive and who wasn't.
They said their goodbyes to the other vampires.
Eyrx teleported to Sora and Brie, killed a werewolf and said, "Sora, again, thank you for your help. Without your party, our settlement would be in ruins. We will catch you soon. We are no longer of any value."
Brie smiled and winked, and Eryx was off before Sora could thank him.

Meanwhile, the Bishops continued to work through titans, but still nearly 250 of them stood, swiping and thrashing away at the party. Little by little, they were knocking more and more of the Original vampires out of the fight.
Dorian sent all the children and the other Originals back, aside from himself and Camilla.
"Get back to safety and spend time with your families, that's an order!" he barked.
"Such a gentleman, my husband," Camilla said happily as she teleported and sprayed blood in the eyes of a titan. Bishop teleported just in time to rip its head off, as Camilla did not expect the titan to try to eat her in self-defense.
"Phew, thank you Bishop," Camilla said as she teleported back to Dorian.
"Ok that's enough for you, now you're letting your guard down, let's let Sora know and take our leave." Dorian said romantically.
Sora thanked them and continued to work with Brie. They were fighting a titan.
Sera continued sprinting at supersonic speed, slashing the titans ankles, but her nails couldn't dig deep enough. She was frustrated.
Lucious used his shadow magic to tie down one of the titans.
"Sera, over here beautiful!" he shouted.
In an instant, she was right by his side.
"Be a dear and slit his throat for me, I'll make sure he doesn't harm you," Lucious said with his charming voice as his eyes illuminated a crisp blue.
Sera blushed, but quickly rushed over and gashed the titan's throat several times.
They continued this pattern to take down a few more titans before they too felt exhausted.
"We work well together, let's go on that date soon?" Sera asked as she kissed Lucious.
Lucious kissed back, smiled and said, "tonight at my family's castle!"
*****
Leila continued to fly around and play cat and mouse with the titans, but she took a nasty blow from a titan and yelped. She was thrown to the ground and Brie stopped her from crashing into the trees. Leila had transformed to her human form and Sora had the wherewithal to give Brie 3 Large potions.
"I'm getting low on these, too. Everyone's already exhausted. If it weren't for Bishop, we'd have no chance." Sora said to Brie.
"Yes, even Leila needs rest. Celeste looks spent too. The only reason I'm not exhausted is because of your link. Julius and Rissa are doing well for how young they are. Even Luna is doing a good job of helping out. It's going to be close though. We don't want to go through Bishop's entire food supply." Brie responded.
"I'm sure the elves have more, but you're right. I have maybe 20 potions left, no blood bags, maybe 5 pounds of flesh, 10 mana potions and 5 food pills," Sora said while breathing heavily.
"Are you sure you're ok? I know this link isn't easy?"
"I'm going to have to disengage it, just please be careful. You're a badass, remember?"
"No problem babe. I'll take care of Leila. Levi is out there with Sasha and they seem to be doing well. The clock is ticking, though." Brie said as she felt the link lift off her.
"Oh gosh, I am exhausted too. Are you ok, Leila?" Brie asked.
"Yes, thank you for healing me. Those titans are tricky to maneuver and they don't burn too easily. I'm worried. Bishop is doing amazing but the party is starting to tire. I don't know if you noticed, but there's only 5 clones left." Leila said calmly.
Sora looked over his shoulder and saw the real Bishop breathing heavily. He knew something had to change, quickly, or they were doomed.
"Listen up everyone. I need you all to retreat to the vampire settlement. I'm able to speak to you because I'm temporarily linked with Celeste. Brie, Celeste, Levi, Bishop and Sasha, please stay within eyes distance. I may need healing. There's something I have to do."
Everyone in the party listened, and Brie started to worry as Sora disengaged the link with Celeste.
'What is he going to do? What can he possibly do by himself?'
Bishop gave Brie a big hug from behind. "Don't worry my lady. We've done well."
"Yes but if it wasn't for you, we'd surely be dead, so thank you, Bishop," Levi said with a fist bump.
Sasha kissed Levi on the cheek and noticed Lucious and Sera were kissing!
"What the hell man! Sora's about to go do something crazy and you two are making out?" Brie teased while shaking her head.
"Well, if we're all going to die, I had to at least kiss her once," Lucious said with a laugh.
"Oh, so I'm your last resort kiss, thanks asshat," Sera joked.
"Hey… that's not fair," he said as he kissed her again. "We have a date tonight, remember!"
'I really hope Sora isn't going to do something rash.' Brie thought.
Sora walked out to the middle of the field and placed all his weapons and armor in the dimensional void. His white cloak swung in the wind covering a black shirt, black joggers and tennis shoes.
'I hope I don't die.' he thought before screaming, "UNLEASH LOCKHEART: DIVINE BOMBARDMENT."
A black orb formed in his left hand and a white orb formed in his right hand. He merged them together, forming a giant yin and yang magical ball. Meteors began falling from the sky, crashing into titans and more.
