Chapter 56: Odd Intentions 2
"Now, let's get on with it, once I make you my loyal slave, I can then enjoy you fully." She said with a sadistic grin.
Even then, Aldritch remained unresponsive. It was to be expected, after all, she had just told him that he was going to become her slave.
She looked at him as he refused to move, "well, the ones that run first thing are usually the ones that realise they're going to die, but the slaves usually don't…" she said to herself, finding reason in Aldritch's actions. "regardless, I don't have the patience for this. Girls, bring him to the centre of the magic circle."
The cloaked figures strode towards Aldritch from both sides to drag him into the magic circle. As soon as they got close however, they both clenched their chests as if trying to grab their own hearts, and following painful wails, they collapsed on the floor.
It had been a rather serious problem for Aldritch that he didn't have any attack skill, meaning he was quite vulnerable in any fight, since he also didn't have any defensive skill. He could always get his opponents with hypnosis, but that was regarding whether or not they had a weak mind.
In response to this problem, Aldritch thought of a way to counter this, by skillfully utilizing his blood manipulation to its best potential. Now that he was able to control the blood he could use that to kill his victims by rupturing their hearts by forcing blood into them, causing the heart to burst under intense pressure.
Normally, a heart attack would happen following a rupture in one of the vessels in the heart, and after that a clot would form. As there is then a cut of oxygen supply to the heart, it would start to die and a heart attack would happen in less than an hour.
Aldritch's method however, was faster and instantaneous, perhaps, "too much oxygen" to the heart was also bad.
Once the cloaked figures dropped, Aldritch rushed towards a startled Dalia in an instant…
.
Aldritch rushed towards a startled Dalia with all his speed, covering the gap in an instant almost. As soon as he came a metre from her, his body suddenly slammed into an invisible barrier that showed itself only after he had collided with it.
'A shield? No, some kind of barrier.' He thought in his mind. The next move was to use his blood manipulation, but before he could do anything, a feeling of weightlessness came over him as his body was lifted into the air by an unknown force, slamming his body into the hard rocky walls of the room several times before slamming him into the hard floor.
It seemed like Dalia could use something akin to telekinesis, if not that itself.
Aldritch gritted his teeth as he tried to regain himself.
In that instance, without Dalia's command, Misa moved swiftly and immobilized Aldritch by pinning him down to the floor so he couldn't move. Aldritch struggled to free himself, but to no avail.
He was too injured to muster much of his strength, so he couldn't fight off Misa. Rapidly, his injuries, both internal and external began to heal themselves, consuming blood from his blood bank as it did. There was no point in making a move before he was healed completely, his foe this time was capable.
"khuk…"
Misa raised his head so he was looking at Dalia who stood with a sadistic grin on her face, "you, you might actually be more useful than I had thought, you'll make a fine slave." She laughed evilly as she spoke.
At that moment, without saying a word, Aldritch used his hypnosis once she looked him in the eye, putting her in a trance and immobilizing her, while using blood manipulation the very next moment to incapacitate Misa who was on his back, causing her to wright in pain. Before Aldritch could even bring himself to his feet, he received a system message;
[Target is resisting 'Hypnosis']
[Target is resisting 'Hypnosis']
'As expected, she would have a stronger mental fortitude.'
Aldritch stood back on his feet and strode towards Dalia who stood still with her eyes closed. Using his hypnosis and minor compulsion, he took his time brainwashing Dalia into thinking of he was her true master and solidifying her loyalty to him.
Ten minutes later, Aldritch was done. It wasn't easy, as most of it was resisted and the command weakened, due to her strong mental fortitude. In the end, he need to take his time breaking and reforming her mind and memories until he achieved his goal without impairing her normal senses.
'Just to be sure,' Aldritch thought to himself as he made a small cut on Dalia's hand and dripped his blood containing a good amount of catalyst into it. Since those he turned develop higher loyalty towards him, it was also a good choice to boost her loyalty, not to mention that she would also increase his overall strength in personnel.
Before attempting to turn her into a vampire, Aldritch ingested some of her blood, with the hopes of learning some of her skills through it, after all, the system mentioned that there was a possibility of learning skills from others whose blood he drank.
Unfortunately, it didn't work. Even after taking an entire litre of blood from her, it didn't do anything… at least the blood served as vitality and invigorated him.
…
[Success]
[The human has successfully been turned into a vampire]
"Hmm."
Aldritch didn't waste time opening her information panel to check her loyalty.
