Vampire God in the Apocalypse

As he got close to the ground he infused spirit energy into the shield as he tilted it to the side a bit.

The shield released a pulse blast that shifted Collins\' body to the side and the snake which opened it\'s mouth to eat him crashed onto the ground.

Collins immediately began to run.

There were multiple houses made out of bricks that looked like they were made out of sand. Everything was destroyed in the place and it was deserted. There were a few houses which were intact but we\'re empty.

Collins hid behind a building and then the loud shrieking of the snake reached his ears.

There was no way he would be able to take on the snake with his current abilities.

The bear that he couldn\'t even scratch with his weapon was easily obliterated by one of the smaller snakes and the big one was just staring at him which creeped him out.

He turned and looked back to see that the snake was slithering around and then he swallowed as he knew that there was no hope for him. It was all over.

All of a sudden, Collins noticed something moving in the sand closeby and then he noticed a human hand waving at him.

The sand suddenly formed a human body and a person became visible from behind a house.

The man wore close to nothing and only a garment on his waist and a lot of ornaments on his body with colourful markings which seemed very cultural.

The man signalled Collins to come and he looked at the snake behind who was destroying the buildings one by one in search of him.

He took a deep breath before he sprinted out of his hiding place towards the strange person and then the snake eyes caught a glimpse of him running.

It suddenly slithered towards him at a very high speed and a torrent of flames blasted out of its mouth towards Collins direction.

He hid beside the person. The person directed him into a door in the sand and they both jumped in and shut the door.

The snake reached their location and didn\'t see them anymore and then it became confused and angry.

It bared it\'s fangs as it let out an ear-piercing screech that could be heard all around the island.

...

Collins landed on the ground of an underground area and then he looked at a small number of people all staring at him.

He swallowed as he looked at the people around nervously. The people made way for an elderly woman to come forward.

She was very short and old and her eyes was almost fully closed.

She was wearing a dress made of ornaments on a garment and a band on her head was made of colourful beads. The place they were in was lit with torches on the walls.

"Outsider, how did you find out island?" The old lady asked as she began to walk around him.

The other people around were all staring at Collins and he felt uncomfortable.

\'I don\'t know who they are. Any Small thing I\'ll do, they can just throw me out of this place, I\'m not sure if they\'re strong, I have to be careful.\' He sighed and then answered the lady;

"I was thrown here when fighting a creature. And I have no way back." He answered and the old lady shook her head and sighed.

"Nima is in the city so we have to hide underground till it goes back to it\'s cave." The old lady said and then she stood in front of him.

"What is your name, boy?" She asked.

"Collins."

"Everyone, welcome our new friend, Collins. A boy, who is lost from home, in search of a new one." The old lady said out loud and Collins swallowed as he didn\'t remember telling her he was looking for a new home.

\'Well. Better than getting thrown out.\' he thought as he managed to calm down.

The people then took him down the path and they all arrived at a stairs that goes further down. They soon arrived at a grand environment with a lot of mats at the edge of the room and the people then spread out while shouting and mumbling in a strange language.

"Welcome to Amazon, Collins." The woman said and then he was shocked as he heard the word \'Amazon\'.

Before he could ask another question, the old lady was no longer by his side and a young man approached him.

He had a haircut similar to a mohawk haircut with his hair falling backwards. He has a nose ring and a lot of markings of his body and Collins swallowed as he saw the build of the man and then he nodded.

"I only have one word to say to you, unlucky." The guy said as he approached Collins and then Collins nodded to what he said.

"Come with me." The guy said and Collins followed.

"Amazon was once a great place where we were the amazonians lived. It wasn\'t until Nima, Bo, and Rava broke out of their keep during the tiran impact--"

"Wait, that black snake that almost killed me is called... Nima?" Collins was stunned as that was a first for him, hearing a snake has a name.

"When the calamity started, the three reptile horrors came out of their cave as if they were in a frenzied state."

"They destroyed the city, wasted humans, and now they\'re just terrors of the island. As Amazons, we take care of magical creatures which is this island is filled with." The guy said and they continued to walk for more than an hour.

...

Both Collins and Zur, the amazonian guy who has shared information with him, walked to the middle of the area where there was a fountain and a statue in the middle.

The statue was that of a man holding a sword upwards and then Collins turned to Zur.

"Who\'s that man?" He asked.

"That\'s no man. That\'s Marduk, the God of the amazonians."
