"Do they always scream?" Seth thought, a hand on his chin as he watched Minuha begin writhing on the ground.
Without warning, she began clawing at her body, and though Seth could see her trying to bear the pain and not mutilate herself, the few movements her finger made over her body caused bleeding, though seconds later that didn't matter.
Whether or not she had injured herself, Minuha's pores began releasing blood, her entire skin soon covered in blood, and then to Seth's shock, her hair began falling out.
"Is that okay" Seth wondered, though his plans for the woman involved death making her ugly wasn't in the script.
As Minuha's hair fell out, the air and qi in the surrounding which had already been rampant kicked up their pace.
At first, the qi in Minuha's immediate surroundings was being drawn towards her, but when the qi around her was exhausted, qi from afar began rushing towards her.
The qi came flooding towards her in waves that were so thick Seth had to defend himself against them.
They continuously smashed against his black throne, threatening to tear it apart, but in the end, all it took Seth was a bit of effort from his dantian and he easily weathered the storm.
With his eyes narrowed, Seth tried to stare into the slowly forming qi cocoon around Minuha, wanting to know what she was going through, but with each minute that passed the qi around her thickened, obscuring Seth's view of Minuha's transformation process.
With a bit of hope, Seth tried using his soulsense, but all he met was a failure.
"There wasn't any major strengthening to my soulsense despite the breakthrough" Seth observed.
Like this an annoyed Seth leaned into his throne, showing no discomfort as Qi stormed all around him while Minuha went about transforming into a vampire.
"No not a vampire," Seth thought, his lips tightening as he thought it was time to finally name his race.
·?θm Vampires and dragons on their own were powerful forces, but he was the amalgamation of them both, a specie that he believed was superior.
"Well I am superior, I just hope the others are too."
So far the only person Seth had transformed was Adriana, and taking into consideration the new light that had appeared in his soul space, it would mean that there were just three of his specie in existence.
Due to him being weak at that time, Seth hadn't been able to test Adriana's abilities, but now with Minuha, he had an opportunity to know if members of his race shared his awesomeness or if it was just limited to him.
...
About 30 minutes went by since Minuha began her transformation, and Seth couldn't help but shiver at the thought the woman was going through constant pain all this while.
"Hope it doesn't break her mind."
Seth was busy worrying about Minuha's mental state when he was suddenly blasted away, compliments of the cocoon of qi which had been surrounding Minuha suddenly exploding.
"No respect for a progenitor," Seth thought ignoring the waves of qi that slammed into him and carried him into the air, wanting to bore into his skin but failing miserably.
With a sigh, suddenly stopped in the air, canceling out the transferred momentum from the qi explosion and looking down to the ground where he had last seen Minuha.
"She should be down there," Seth thought, "She just went through having her blood pumped out and her hair falling off, she should be confused and trying to understand what has happened to her."
What Seth had said was what he felt was supposed to happen, but his soulsense which was sweeping over the qi thinning area told him otherwise.
"And she's to my left," Seth thought, turning to his left with an outstretched palm which immediately blocked or rather received a punch seeing as he was sent shooting from the sky to the ground.
"Booom"
The loud sound of Seth's collision with the ground sounded, huge deep cracks appearing around his landing position while his point of impact was a 10-meter hole of shattered ground.
"That's a check for increased strength and speed, massively increased strength, she didn't even dare throw a punch before, yet now she's able to punch me out of the sky."
Having landed on his two feet, Seth went about assessing Minuha's strength.
"Well let's see how durable her body is." With this thought and without moving his head, Seth raised his left hand and with his open palm caught an axe kick that had him digging further into the ground while also sending out a shock wave.
Not speaking a word, Seth's hand clamped around Minuha's leg, pulling her down and before him, and then with his palm opened, he hit her on the stomach, surprise filling him when his hand cleanly went through her body.
While Seth's hand failed to hit, Minuha's right leg didn't fail to use Seth's hold on her as leverage to send her left leg flying and slamming into his side.
Once again there was a boom and Seth found himself shooting through the air, watching as Minuha kicked her feet and pursued his airborne form, most likely wanting to pummel it.
"No one has respect for their ancestor these days, I didn't even have to make her fight me, she started it all on her own" Seth lamented.
Grumbling within, Seth paused his forced flight, his actions stunning Minuha who was pursuing after him, and then before she knew it Seth was standing beside her, his hand firmly clamped around her neck.
"Is there anything else…?"
Seth hadn't even finished his question when Minuha rapidly turned black, her form collapsing into a black polo that rapidly moved away from him and reformed several steps away.
"Why can't I destabilize your darkness, and hit your shadow form."
Normally, with her current hate for him and having accomplished her goal, well at least the most important part of it, Minuha should have ignored Seth's question and moved to kill him but that was not to happen.
The minute Seth transformed her, her emotions and body become a slave to him, her thoughts a toy Seth could influence as much as he could as he wished, and so with an unfriendly smile on her face, she answered.
"Vampires have a natural affinity for darkness, with my transformation, all the flaws in my knowledge of darkness basics have been fortified, meaning you no longer have an edge over me."
