Chapter 94: Subduing The Mind
**Several minutes before Lena came out of the soul space and regained consciousness**
While it was nice to be getting steady feedback on what was happening between his split consciousness and Lena in her soul space, Blake still felt weird about the idea of not being in control of what was happening.
"Hmm a blood sea and throne that cries blood, I never knew I was this creative," Blake thought, a good portion of his attention on the memories appearing in his mind, but then a figure taller than him arrived and he knew his ultimate trump card had been brought.
Looking at Rehabab who had returned with Hannah's body carefully carried in his hands, Blake had him place the woman down and while he moved to attend to her, he told him to watch over Lena's body his orders to eradicate the woman if her eyes so much as flickered open.
A few steps from Rehabab and Lena, Blake knelt over Hannah, his breathing steady as he placed his hands on her damaged body and listened.
There was no heartbeat from the woman, no breath leaving or entering her nose or mouth, but within her, inside her delicious body which had gotten a sword put right through its left side, Blake could faintly feel a single strand of vitality weakly trudging about.
"Now let's see if I truly am a miracle worker"
Saying this, Blake placed the index finger of his right hand over Hannah's lips and then after watching his vitality fall by close to two hundred points, he had his blood sip out of the tip of his finger and watched as a glowing red drop of blood fell into Hannah's mouth.
Standing up, Blake watched Hannah remain unresponsive for close to a minute, the huge chuck of vitality she had just ingested lazily floating about in her, and then all of sudden the movement of the vitality rapidly increased and soon it was being spread to all parts of her body, the stab on her chest healing right before Blake's eyes.
A few more minutes went by before Hannah's eyes opened and immediately they caught sight of Blake her face twisted into a frown but she made no moves to move get up.
"How am I alive, I died."
"Well, luckily for you, you're a vampire and they are said to be as tenacious as cockroaches.
More powerful vampires are said to be able to survive and live without a heart, so I think me bringing you back from just a stab to the heart isn't that serious a task." Blake answered spouting what he had read from fantasy books.
"You still haven't answered my question."
"I did, you're just not satisfied with my answer" Blake shrugged.
Realizing Blake wouldn't be answering her question, Hannah snorted and closed her eyes.
"Well, whatever it is you want from me, I won't give you."
"Okay"
Hannah blinked at Blake's words surprised that he was giving up on her so easily but then he knelt close to her and spoke two words, "Soul mark".
Blake wished he could have used the eternal pact on Hannah, but he was sure that for what he had done to her army, the woman was more than ready to cause him spite and though he could think of some ways to have her submit to him even if for just a moment, he couldn't see himself doing that in the limited time he had before Lena decided to rip herself out of her soul space, after all, she wasn't some amateur in the matters of the soul.
With ruthlessness, Blake conquered and marked Hannah's soul, and with the woman unhappily under his thumb, he performed an inspection of her, glad that he had done so after seeing her stats.
[Name: Hannah Montreil]
[Species: Dhampir/Angel]
[Rank: second order]
[Title: Fallen General]
[Strength: 258 / Agility: 210 / Stamina: 120 / Vitality: 430(-) / Intelligence: 170/ Mana: 350 / Charisma: 400 / Will: 400]
[Target is constantly losing vitality]
[Abilities/skills: soul kill]
[A walking corpse]
"Damn everything here is wrong, isn't the vampire transformation supposed to boost her" Blake wondered, but then he remembered that Hannah had also not been under the control of Kate or on her side, so it could only mean that in one way or the other, there had been a clash between them, and this had been the result.
"Is she even aware of this?
Looking at the system's remarks on Hannah and then her status particularly her vitality which had a minus sign, Blake could not help but look down at the woman who had a stoic expression wondering if she knew that every second that passed, she was dying.
"She was once a commander, I bet she does know what is happening, but is also aware of how disadvantaged the leak of such information can put her.
Not to mention that for now, the vitality I flooded her with is holding out quite strong."
With such a horrible constitution, one which had left her falling from a third-order being to a second-order being, something Blake didn't even know was possible, Blake would have been left wondering how Hannah had survived the sword stab right until now if he didn't see her will stats and her secondary specie.
"A dhampir and an angel"
For now, Blake's focus wasn't on Hannah's specie but on one of her skills which he was sure came from one of her bloodlines, "soul kill".
Unfortunately, Blake didn't have time as a luxury, so he quickly put Hannah to work, and to get her to more easily cooperate and do her best he promised that under some restrictions, though wouldn't undo the mark he had placed on her he would let her go do whatever she wished after they were done, this was how cautious Blake was towards Lena
***Present Time***
With Hannah knowing she had nothing to lose considering that Blake would still force her to work for him with whatever mark he had placed on her, she had agreed, and now as Blake placed a soul mark on Lena, a second later he found himself falling to his knees and to his surprise back in Lena's soul space or at least where he thought he should be.
"My sweet darling Blake, you were quite boastful of your soul power, now why don't we put your mind power to the test.
Welcome to my mind space honey."
