Back in the vampire hall, Damon had already cleared the first wave of the fallen.
The corrupted figures had lunged at him the moment he accepted the quest, their forms bloodless, hollowed out, more zombie than noble predator. They hissed and gnashed their blackened teeth as they swarmed, but Damon had ripped through them without any problem.
At first, he had thought of drinking their blood to possibly get their skills, maybe even steal something that they could have possessed back when they were living. The idea was good. The problem was that these ghouls seemed to completely lack any blood whatsoever.
Even when he slashed them, nothing sprayed. No bodily fluid whatsoever. Their bodies might as well be golems.
Damon had to give up the idea of using Blood Extraction as a cheat to get through this test. Not that he needed one in the first place. His basic blood swipe was pulling in big numbers.
