Chapter 256 253: Void Force Bloodline skill
[System Notification: Congratulations Host! You have successfully passed the Feral Thunderstorm heavenly tribulation. As a result, you've gained the acknowledgment of your bloodline, and your innate bloodline has upgraded from level 2 to level 3.]
[Your White Devil Class has leveled up, and you have unlocked a new bloodline skill!]
The new bloodline skill was called Void Force.
Eager to understand the full scope of his newly acquired bloodline skill, Val focused intently on it and cast Detect.
As a result of his actions, a semi-transparent screen materialized in front of his eyes, providing detailed information about the skill.
[Name: Void Force
[Bloodline skill level: 3]
[Description: Once activated, this skill enables the host to passively emanate the force of the void, which materializes as a distinct purple aura around the host and can jump on anyone the host wants to harm. The force of the void is not merely an aesthetic manifestation; it exerts significant pressure on any entities within its radius, mentally and physically pushing them towards submission. The aura functions as a sphere of influence wherein the host gains an element of control over any beings caught within it. If a target within the aura's range is successfully pressured into submission, it becomes enslaved to the host's will for all of eternity. Unlike traditional magical or physical enslavement, which can be resisted or potentially broken, enslavement via the force of the void establishes a metaphysical, almost enigmatic, link between the host and the enslaved, making the latter utterly subservient to the former. Moreover, enslaved entities are bound to obey the commands of the host, irrespective of their prior allegiances or motivations. Resistance against the host's will triggers punitive mechanisms built into the skill, which can vary in severity and are decided by the host at the moment of enslavement. The enslaved can suffer from mild discomfort to extreme physical pain, or even metaphysical disintegration, depending on the rules set down by the host.]
[Limitations: The intensity of the Void force is directly proportional to the host's power level. The higher the host's power level, the more powerful the void force emanated by you. The range of the skill is limited to the Host's vision. The skill will target only those who are in the Host's line of sight.]
Val's mind raced.
Normally, Whitmores with average bloodlines unlock yet another body-strengthening skill once they upgrade their bloodline to level 3, but he in the same scenario unlocked an offensive enslavement skill that was beyond powerful—it was practically game-changing.
'This is no ordinary upgrade; it is a leap that defies the usual limits.' n-)OvElbIn
The Void Force skill would give him an enormous advantage, not just in one-on-one combat situations but also in large-scale conflicts, and if used wisely, it could also serve as the ultimate espionage tool.
'With this skill, I can not only cultivate an army of beings completely loyal to him but also raise spies and plant them in the influential families of the kingdom to spy on their secrets!'
'A skill like this is to die for.'
'No wonder my tribulation was so strong.'
Val was thoroughly impressed by his new bloodline skill.
A pondering look appeared on his handsome face. Val had an otherworldly appearance, with a smooth white complexion, V-shaped jawline, thin lips, and black eyes that seemed to draw you in. He was already striking, but when he was deeply engrossed in thought, the seriousness added another layer to his allure. It was during these moments, when he was lost in his own world, that he looked irresistibly charming.
'Maybe it can complement my authority as this generation's Devil God of Evil.'
'Let's check it out.'
Val's undead-creating energy dwindled rapidly as he created a level 3 undead. Made of pure evil, its first instinct was to attack and destroy everything in its sight. However, before it could even move an inch, Val used the Shadow Bind ability, intending to immobilize it. The undead's own shadow rose from the ground and wound around it like a devilish serpent, restricting its movement.
Val focused his gaze on the level 3 undead and activated the Void Force skill.
Almost instantaneously, an aura of a deep, mesmerizing purple erupted from his very being and crashed into the disobedient Level 3 undead like a relentless tidal wave. The aura swept over the undead, filling the air with an oppressive weight that could not be ignored.
The undead was a creature created of pure evil. Thus, it was normally resistant to any form of control. But under the constant assault of Val's Void Force skill, it found itself brought to its knees in mere moments, kneeling before Val.
A series of system notifications rang out in Val's mind.
[System Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have successfully enslaved the Level 3 undead using the Void Force skill.]
[The status of the Level 3 undead has changed from 'Disobedient' to 'Utterly Loyal.']
[You can now order it around.]
A satisfied smile flickered across Val's lips as he read the system notifications. The skill seemed too good to be true, but the proof was right in front of him.
Val retracted his Void Force aura and spoke, "Rise."
To his immense satisfaction, the undead obediently followed his command and rose to its feet from its kneeling position. Then, it stood just there, with its head lowered, not daring to look its creator straight in the eyes. It was almost as if it were waiting for its next command.
'It is no longer the rebellious entity it once was.'
Val felt overjoyed at the level 3 undead's subservient behavior.
"Jump down the cliff and crawl back to me," Val wanted to check the extent of its effect, so he ordered it coldly.
Hearing his words, the undead didn't even hesitate before obediently leaping off the nearby cliff.
The cliff was by no means of average size; it was a substantial drop.
When it crashed into the ground, its bones broke and limbs detached in a grotesque manner.
