"Bang!"
The wooden wall was smashed open, creating a large hole, and Hall plunged headfirst into it.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Hall stopped and scanned his surroundings, and sure enough, he spotted a busy figure in the corner of the room.
How can it work in such dim light?
Are you a vampire too?
Thinking this, Hall shouted:
"I've come to rescue you!"
That was obviously a lie, but Hall knew that most people would look over if they heard it.
As long as the two make eye contact, he can unleash " Blood Arrow " to project his consciousness into the other's body.
Then his plan was half successful!
Once you gain control of your body, everything will be settled.
But things didn't go as Hall had imagined—
The man neither turned around nor turned his head, as if he had no intention of leaving.
Seeing this, Hall immediately became anxious and shouted as he stepped forward:
"I'm here to save you, so at least look at me..."
As he spoke, he took three steps in two and a half to get behind the man, and slapped him hard on the shoulder with his right hand!
The feel of the body on his hand told Hall that the man was very sturdy, and as he was secretly pleased, he yanked off the man's hood with his left hand.
You're being ungrateful, aren't you?
If reasoning and negotiation don't work, then I'll unleash a violent possession!
Hall's movements were fluid and effortless; his left hand ripped off the hood, and his right hand, pressing on the shoulder, twisted the upper body around. The moment their eyes met...
Hall's fluid movements gave him no time to see what was under the guy's hood, and even though he sensed something was wrong, he didn't stop what he was doing.
Until he turned the man's body around and looked at the spot where a face should have been, he only saw a tree.
"Um?"
Hall instinctively uttered a sound of doubt, because that place should be the head, a principle that applies to any intelligent being.
However, what came into view was a tree, a tree rooted at the severed neck, perfectly integrated with the wound, almost the size of the head.
"Ah!"
Hall, who had been a vampire for so many years, had never seen such a monster before. He exclaimed in surprise and shoved the man away, knocking the High Tier vampire to the ground.
The creature with the tree growing from its neck seemed to be neither able to see nor hear. After being knocked down, it simply groped its way up and returned to the assembly line to continue production.
Hall stared blankly at the scene, the entire vampire was dumbfounded, only managing to remember that the other person also had a tag on his chest that was the same style as his own, engraved with this guy's name: Cuiske.
"You monster!"
Hall shamelessly rebuked him, then hardened his bone armor again, slammed his head against the wall of Cuiske's room, and entered a new room once more.
This action was not without purpose; rather, Hall was both frightened and sensed the presence of a new, High Tier body, which prompted him to continue breaking through the wall in his search.
The new room was even darker than the Cuiske had been in before, but that didn't bother Hall.
He carefully sensed the aura belonging to High Tier, but began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his body.
Why could he sense that aura permeating everything around him?
It felt as if it had swallowed me whole.
Thinking this through, Hall, pressed for time and burdened with a heavy task, resorted to his old trick and shouted:
Where are you? I've come to save you!
"Here..."
A weak voice came:
"I'm here, help me!"
Hall looked up abruptly and instantly saw the true situation in the room.
No wonder he felt that person's presence all around him; it turned out he was suspended in the air by countless steel wires.
In this room, there are nearly a hundred barbed steel wires, each about the thickness of a little finger, all of which came from this person's body.
This person seems to have some kind of fixed spell engraved on their body, which allows them to Alienation the steel that makes up their body into something like iron hooks and cables for use.
In other words, this guy was being hoisted up by his own prosthetic leg; if he wanted to escape, he would have to abandon his physical body.
Looking at this creature that seemed trapped in a spider web, Hall let out a heartfelt sigh:
"This is a human being?"
Have I been sealed away for too long? Can this kind of creature even be called human now?
I was internally complaining like that, but since I was already here, I figured I might as well try and see if I could get him released...
Hall then lunged at the nearest steel cable hook.
Upon seeing his actions, the person suspended in mid-air also exclaimed in astonishment:
"Don't want!"
However, it was too late. The moment Hall touched the iron hook and pulled it off its hook, a chilling shock suddenly surged through the steel cable.
not good!
It was an electric shock!
Hall wanted to let go, but his Low Tier physical reaction speed was still too slow.
In the silvery-white electric current, he made eye contact with the guy suspended in the air for a moment.
However, it lacks the ability to activate.
This thing's ruined; it's definitely unusable.
Hall had already made up his mind.
Then...
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh--"
Despite the numbness and excruciating pain from the electric shock, Hall hung the iron hook back on the wall where it belonged.
Looking at the dying man in mid-air, Hall noticed his name tag: [ Keen Rizzos].
The vampire grand duke rarely showed a hint of guilt:
"I'm sorry, I can't help you, Keen."
Hall sighed and said:
But I can try to help him.
As he spoke, he looked at the wall at the far end of the room.
He sensed the aura of High Tier for the third time.
Shouldn't I have a safety net for myself?
Hall, chanting incantations, activated his ability for the third time: Bone Armor, Hardening, and Impact!
"Bang!"
He entered a new room and was immediately met with a pair of extremely excited eyes, followed by a voice:
"I heard you! I heard what you just said! My name is Brenfield, and I am a Grand Artisan. I will repay you for saving me!"
Great, very energetic!
Without a second thought, Hall activated his ability—" Blood Arrow "—by looking into those piercing eyes!
The moment their eyes met, a spurt of Blood Arrow shot out, piercing the other person's forehead without any obstruction.
Brenfield twitched for a moment, then his eyes and expression changed, and he had become Hall's vessel.
Watching his old body, worn down by excessive use of Psionic Energy and Alienation, slowly collapse, Hall chuckled:
"This is not needed!"
After saying that, he took off running.
To be honest, the body of High Tier is indeed full of Psionic Energy and exudes a powerful aura.
With just a thought, his legs unleashed extraordinary power.
"Da da da da da!"
A high-frequency stomping sound suddenly rang out, but Hall did not move an inch.
"Um?"
The Grand Duke sensed something was wrong.
Only then did he finally have time to see the room's layout clearly.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Hall saw a pair of strong, mechanical legs sprinting wildly on a mechanical treadmill...
