Blood Assimilation

"How dare you show such a face in front of me! Know your place!"

BOOM!!

The second after the long-eared woman bellowed her words, she released an even greater pressure that was more intense than before, seemingly exerting her full strength this time.

This gush of tremendous mental pressure fluctuated violently within the vicinity and even caused everyone within the Crescent Moon Auction House to collapse from shock. Some fell unconscious shortly after with the exception of those who had artifacts to resist mental attacks.

Meanwhile, Randy was standing there with a dazed look on his face as lines of text kept scrolling in his field of vision, bringing a smile to his face, and at the same time angering the long-eared beautiful woman who had no idea why he was smiling.

Unbeknownst to the long-eared beautiful woman, Randy was currently looking at a series of notifications from his system about the changes happening to him due to the mental pressure.

[[You're currently being affected by an immense amount of mental pressure enough to destroy your psyche and cause psychological damages. However, due to your psionic level being high enough, you are able to resist the mental fluctuations. Furthermore, these harmless mental fluctuations are assisting your erratic and scattered mental energy to integrate and condense, thus initiating the first step to creating your mental energy vessel.]]

[[Special Note: You should make use of this opportunity to temper your mental energy. If you succeed, the system will assist you in creating your mental seed as promised. Either that or you could create the Mental Seed yourself. This would normally take a long process to achieve if you excluded the time it would take to procure the resources to develop it]].

[[Your mental-related skill and ability are undergoing a qualitative change due to the changes occurring to your mental energy in tandem with your psionic energy. The next time you used them, you notice improvement in their activation time]]

Randy read through all of these with a bright smile on his face as he felt like some shackles were being lifted from his body as the pressure from the long-eared beautiful woman increased tremendously.

Normally, one would faint from the amount of mental pressure being as were the people who were in the Crescent Moon Auction House. But Randy was not only unaffected by the pressure, but he was also even benefitting from it. This was unexpected for even him.

However, while the situation might be fruitful for Randy, the same cannot be said about the one who was attacking him. Due to that, the beautiful woman who saw that he was not harmed by her mental pressure felt the need to use her powers even if it might trigger a potential war between their races.

Randy suddenly noticed the pressure on his mind disappearing and the aura and presence of the long-eared beautiful woman began to increase as this happened. Noticing this, he immediately scowled with a worried look on his face. Yet, it wasn't because he was afraid of that mysterious power emanating from the long-eared beautiful woman's body. Instead, he was worried about something else.

'What are you doing?! Why are you stopping now of all times?! Keep it up! Keep it coming!'

Randy silently encouraged the long-eared beautiful woman when he noticed the decrease in the overall pressure on his mind. But no matter how much he cheered her on in his mind, the pressure continued to recede.

Randy suddenly realized something when he saw her power building up as her pressure decreased.

'Is she trying to attack me now that she knows her mental pressure isn't working on me? No, I can't allow that to happen. I don't get these kinds of opportunities every day, after all.'

Randy was technically not a psionic ability holder as he only acquired mental ability, so he never knew how they trained their mental energies. Therefore, the situation where just being pressured mentally was enough to help him increase the overall quality of his mental strength couldn't be more enticing and welcoming.

After all, he never knew when he would get to experience this kind of a blessing in disguise situation again. Unless he fought someone with the same attacking methods as hers. This was very unlikely, as most would simply kill their opponent without bothering to use things like their mental pressure.

Thus, he thought of a way to prolong the mental pressure.

The very next moment, Randy suddenly dropped to his knees, moaning in pain shortly after, as he clutched his head.

"Argh, what did you just do to me? Do you think I would give in to you just because of this?" Randy struggled to speak with a twisted expression on his face, seemingly in excruciating pain.

Seeing his current state and hearing his voice, the long-eared beautiful woman's eyes widen slightly with her eyebrows raised in a puzzled manner, 'Huh? Why is he suddenly on his knees and saying something like that? I thought my pressure wasn't working on him. Is it working on him now? But he didn't show any signs on his face until now? So what happened? Or maybe he was just pretending to be unaffected this whole time, and now, he couldn't take it anymore?'

Of course, he was only pretending to be affected by the pressure since that was the only way to make the long-eared woman continue with her mental pressure. However, as long as this long-eared beautiful woman is fooled by his antics, then his actions would be worth the efforts.

Sure enough, after observing Randy's painful expression for a few moments, the long-eared beautiful woman finally concluded that Randy was without a doubt suffering from her mental pressure and decided to continue pressuring him.

In the subsequent moment, the long-eared beautiful displayed a victorious and disdainful look on her face before scoffing and coldly saying: "Now that's how you should be in front of me! A mere weakling like you dared to oppose me, time and time again! Now, you will answer all my questions regardless of whether you want to or not. If not, I will only increase the mental pressure until you become lifeless and braindead. If you think I'm joking, I dare you to try me!"

Randy did not say anything and only gritted his teeth and continued groaning and moaning in pain.

Watching him like this, the long-eared beautiful woman felt pleased with his sorry state and there was this evil smile on her face.

She then took a seat behind her and turned to her entourage, who seemed unaffected by her mental pressure, and nonchalantly said: "Bring him over here. I need to talk to him directly. If he turns out to be the one who spied on my room with his skill, I will personally dig his eyes out in compensation for his behavior."

"Understood." The entourage said and approached Randy who was kneeling on the ground with a painful expression.

Once in front of him, he proceeded to grab his arm and shouted: "Insolent brat! Get up! How dare you make my lady wait for you?!"

As soon as he said that, he pulled and dragged Randy off the ground, and moments later, he was thrown in front of the long-eared beautiful woman.

At such a close distance, Randy could finally see the features of this long-eared beautiful woman clearly. She was very pretty with silver hair and blue eyes— she was on par with Sylvana in terms of appearance alone. However, their demeanor was quite different.

Randy slowly stood up and looked at this beautiful woman in front of him with a dazed look on his face. It was almost as though he had forgotten the pain he was feeling before as he was no longer clutching his head in pain.

This reaction immediately caused the long-eared beautiful woman to frown as she had a bad feeling about his reaction which made her feel disgusted, as that was the look all men gave her when they met her for the first time.

However, unbeknownst to her, Randy didn't look at her because he was actually entranced by her or interested in her at all. Instead, as he began to stare at her body, her appearance changed in his vision.

[All Law Seeker], activated!

Within a second, Randy could see a grey smoky silhouette that resembled the figure of the long-eared beautiful woman in his vision with red pigments on certain parts of the silhouette.

The long-eared beautiful woman opened her mouth to speak when Randy suddenly reached his right hand out abruptly before striking her right on her chest— bosom, to be more accurate.

Randy had intended to poke the center of her chest, where one of the red pigments was glowing with intense light. However, due to his vision of her figure turning grey, he was unable to see properly and accidentally poked her breast with his finger strike.

The long-eared beautiful woman immediately fumed in anger with a flushed face when she noticed the finger poking at her chest, and she shouted in a trembling voice: "Y-You bastard! How dare you land your hand on my breas— Just die!"

Realizing his mistake, Randy quickly adjusted his hand and accurately struck the red pigment on her chest, instantly halting the movement of the long-eared beautiful woman and dispersing her accumulated power shortly after.
