It must be said, the actions of this Blasphemous Artifact were incredibly swift.
When Duanmu Huai rushed back to the Hammer of Steel using the elevator, everything before him had completely transformed. What had seemed like a peaceful supply warehouse when he'd departed was now a scene of gore and dismemberment, strewn with mutated entities who had met the same fate.
"Aaaaaahhh!"
Before the elevator could even stop completely, a howl echoed out as a mutated creature abruptly flung open the elevator doors, screaming and flailing its sharp claws at Duanmu Huai. However, Duanmu Huai nonchalantly stretched out his hands, grabbing the creature's thrashing claws. With a fierce twist, he ripped the claws from the creature's body, then fiercely jabbed it back at the creature itself!
The claw penetrated the creature's body effortlessly, propelling both it and the one behind it directly into the wall.
