The Puppet Master coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood. He suddenly clenched his fist. Lucius's thoughts and movements immediately stalled, like a rusty, jammed gear. He quickly realized that while he was under the effect of Mind Deprivation, the Puppet Master had wound his Puppet Threads around him!
BOOM! A clap of thunder. A thick bolt of lightning descended, striking Lucius from head to toe. His hair stood on end and his skin was scorched black. For the Blood Race, violent thunderbolts were a major fatal weakness.
Blood flames ignited on his body once more. He broke free of the Puppet Threads and, with a flash, appeared before the Puppet Master, deciding to engage in close-quarters combat. With his powerful Undying Body, he held an absolute advantage.
