Chapter 155: Devil bloodlines
The soldiers were surprised by the words coming from the Xaos King. Although the men and women in those cages were all criminals, they were supposed to have a military trial before their sentence, and one could not just do as they wished with them.
However, none of the soldiers dared to refuse, as they knew the Xaos King could break through the bars and take these people, and there was nothing they could do about it.
"Which prisoners will you take, Your Highness?" A middle-aged soldier with a large scar on his face spoke to Vlad, his face showing respect.
Vlad did not waste time and pointed to 32 people in the cells. The moment the soldiers saw the marked individuals, all their apprehension vanished, and smiles appeared on their faces.
The ones the Xaos King would take were utter scum who had abused and tormented the people under them. None of the soldiers cared about what would happen to that bunch, showing no hesitation as they took them out.
Vlad nodded to the soldiers before taking four of those criminals and exiting the dungeon. He moved like a shadow back to the foundation level of the Xaos Tower. After leaving the criminals, he returned to the dungeon and took four more.
In less than half an hour, the 32 criminals had all been sent to the underground level of the Xaos Tower.
Vlad’s eyes showed no hesitation or mercy as he grabbed three criminals and placed them in the Soulbinder’s Claim Runic Formation. After that, he carefully dislocated the joints in their arms and legs.
A flash of pain appeared on the faces of the criminals, but they were so drugged they barely felt it. It would have been better for them if they had remained unconscious during the entire process, as they would have avoided the agony of what would come next.
Unfortunately for those people, Vlad needed them to be conscious for the Soulbinder’s Claim Runic Formation to work, so he gave each a potion. The potion was a simple Rank 1 Alchemy Potion meant to heal damage, but it would also help their bodies counteract the effects of the drugs.
Vlad waited a few minutes, and his eyes grew sharp as he saw the criminals begin to wake up and regain focus. The trio was confused as they regained consciousness, the puzzlement growing as they saw the young man standing before them. However, all that was replaced by waves of pain due to their dislocated joints.
