Chapter 446: How is my profession panel anime-styled? Chapter 208

As the figure shifted his gaze away, that sense of discomfort vanished along with it.

The black-haired vampire felt an instant sense of relief, and he quickly followed behind.

Nor-ton was, naturally, played by Li Ang; he hadn't expected the effect to be so potent.

The 【Golden Pupils】 had actually triggered a chemical reaction with 【Divine Art: Great Sun Linggui God】, significantly strengthening his presence.

It was fortunate that Kai-esi's vampire clan had already lost their weakness to sunlight; otherwise, they would have been reduced to ash under his gaze.

Of course, 【Golden Pupils】 and 【Divine Art: Great Sun Linggui God】 alone couldn't have exerted such pressure on Kai-esi; one must not forget that with the increase in his professions, Li Ang had stacked an incredibly exaggerated number of special bonuses, many of which could exert deterrence on specific life forms.

Coupled with the combo of 【Dual-Handedness】 + 【Qi Mechanism Combing】 + 【Principles of Celestial Change】, and his own stats—which were absurdly high for a fifth-level professional—the black-haired vampire had actually mistaken him for a sixth-level professional.

Soon, Kai-esi was led by Li Ang into a laboratory filled with various instruments.

Yet, upon seeing the corpses soaking in solution around the room, the high-ranking member of the Blood Secret Company showed no signs of fear.

Corpses were no different from bread to him; a morgue was essentially a cafeteria in his eyes.

Just then, Li Ang spoke: "Lie down."

As he spoke, he pointed to the workbench in front of him.

Kai-esi snapped back to reality and lay down quite obediently.

Before the final operation, Li Ang asked casually: "You should know what's going to happen next, right?"

"... will die."

Facing the question, Kai-esi spat out the two words with great difficulty.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't stop his heart from trembling, wanting to temporarily back out of this transformation he had proposed himself.

Fortunately, Li Ang did not give the black-haired vampire a chance to go back on his word.

As a blue-gold radiance bloomed from his right eye, a scorching sphere about the size of a palm appeared above Kai-esi's body.

【Divine Art: Great Sun Linggui God】... Low-output version.

There was no helping it; to keep Kai-esi's corpse intact, Li Ang could only release this divine art to the minimum extent.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use other methods to kill him, but this was already the easiest way.

After all, as a fifth-level professional, even if Kai-esi gave up resistance, killing him completely was an extremely difficult task.

It was fortunate that Li Ang could not be viewed as a standard fifth-level professional, or he would have been exposed by now.

Under the suppression of 【Divine Art: Great Sun Linggui God】, the struggles Kai-esi instinctively made didn't even cause a ripple before being extinguished.

Watching the black-haired vampire, whose eyes were blood-red and whose body was beginning to mutate, Li Ang's expression remained unchanged.

If he wanted to, he could send him into eternal sleep right now.

But doing so was meaningless; after biting a chunk out of the Blood Secret Company, it was already difficult for him and that Sovereign to coexist peacefully, not to mention the matter of Kris-tin.

Adding one more Kai-esi now was just a case of not fearing more lice when one already had plenty.

Hum—

With a faint humming sound echoing in the laboratory, the scorching sphere radiating blue-gold light vanished into the void, leaving only a hideous corpse behind.

Seeing that Kai-esi had no more breath, Li Ang immediately used 【Soul-Binding and Commanding】 to control his soul, which was about to dissipate.

Unlike the previous two times he created 【Pseudo-Servants】, Kai-esi's soul maintained a clear consciousness under the enhanced 【Soul-Binding and Commanding】.

He first looked at his own corpse, then turned to look at the existence now dominating his soul: "Your Excellency..."

"Shut up."

"Yes."

Kai-esi obediently closed his mouth, not daring to say another word.

Casually tossing him into 【Heavenly Imperial Center】, Li Ang began to modify the corpse before him.

But now, with the aid of 【Great Luo Cave Observation】, he saw much more than he had when modifying 【Kris-tin】.

"This is..." Watching the scarlet text drifting in the air, Li Ang frowned slightly. "Blood Pact?"

This was his first time seeing exactly how a Blood Pact operated; some of its concepts were laid bare before his eyes.

"Assimilation... no wonder Kai-esi was so desperate to break the Blood Pact."

Li Ang now understood why Kai-esi had agreed to the transformation despite knowing death was a prerequisite—the consequences of the Blood Pact were far more terrifying than death.

Indeed, as the strength of the existence who signed the Blood Pact grew closer to the Sovereign, their will would gradually lean toward the Sovereign's, until they eventually lost their own sense of self and merged with the Sovereign.

And because Kai-esi's clan had their bloodlines modified by the Sovereign, everyone was forced to sign the Blood Pact the moment they became vampires, with no room for refusal.

But if it were merely that, it would only mean it was a means for the Sovereign to build a faction; it shouldn't reach the point of a life-and-death feud.

Unless...

"It has to do with His profession advancement conditions?"

Undoubtedly, in a supernatural world, cutting off someone's path to advancement was an extremely malicious act; this explained why the Sovereign was so sensitive.

Having cleared up the cause and effect, Li Ang took a light breath to calm his mood and prepared to continue modifying Kai-esi.

But before he could make a move, he noticed a tiny red thread connecting from the corpse before him into the void.

"...?"

With the aid of 【Great Luo Cave Observation】, Li Ang soon realized the function of this red thread.

Because the connection between Kai-esi and the Sovereign was too intimate, he seemed to be able to use this to spy on the other party.

"So, this was Xiao Gu's wish?"

As Li Ang gently plucked the red thread, his vision rose higher and higher, and a scene appeared before his eyes.

In the scene were two men.

Wait, why were there two?

Realizing that the situation was not quite right, Li Ang's brows furrowed tightly.
