As the paladins and nuns wiped everything else, the one paladin who got possessed by Arad had to sit down and catch her breath. Her entire body was in pain, a huge part of that thanks to the medusa crushing and petrifying her, but a chunk of the blame fell right back on Arad himself.
Usually, what he just did shouldn't be possible. A vampire can send a request for help to the blood lord, and the blood lord should be able to teleport to that vampire through their blood, not take direct control of their body.
Of course, there were instances of a higher-ranked vampire taking control over the weaker vampires they command, but that was always done either at relatively close distances or through a huge network of blood that connects the higher-ranked vampire to the lower-ranked ones.
