Lorius was an old Wave King, but even if he were in his prime, he would not have been able to break free of Bloodless #1's seal of his consciousness, and much less fight back against the Blood Duke's hypnosis. Yet the duo saw the man open his eyes which were full of darkness.
There was shock and dread in the eyes of the Blood Duke and Bloodless #1, not at Lorius, but at the power that had just taken control of the old man's body.
"Stop him!"
The Blood Duke shouted at him, and Bloodless #1 attempted to reactivate the seal he had on Lorius' mind and energy, but it was too late.
"¡BOOM!"
All the Astral Wave inside the old man's body flew toward his brain, blasting it to pieces along with the rest of his head. It was a genuinely gruesome scene that made Blood Duke and Bloodless #1 frown.
Despite not having attained an answer from Lorius, the Blood Duke and Bloodless #1 knew that only one power in the empire had those capabilities.
