Sinister Knight: Dawn Of A Sinful Calamity

Chapter 38: Tug Of War



As Blake lay on the floor, he couldn't help but think of his current state and then congratulate himself for actually being calm about it.

"I mean this is the first time I am actually coming across pain this horrible and being riddle with such serious injuries...., my pain in that fire accident should be worse, but that is a thing of the past and another life.

Damn, I think I can feel pain around my chest and sides, I hope this bitch didn't break something in me."

Gritting his teeth and trying to put strength in his arms, a crack rang out from his ribs and immediately he gave up on his efforts with wide teary eyes,

"Yep, she definitely broke a couple of things," Blake thought as he quietened and stilled on the floor.

Blake could hear several sounds around him but as he moved his head left and right, all he could see was the red barrier that had been erected by his apparently unwilling teammates.

"Hmm perhaps, I should have been a barrier expert and then a chef and then a...."

"Man, it's cool that I am quite calm about the situation, but why can't I just focus, my head feels so light, I can't concentrate on a single thought long enough."

Blake didn't know how long he stayed on the floor but after what felt like an eternity to him, he who had no sensory abilities felt the mana around him drastically increase and then a new wave of pain spread through him.

"Ahhhhh" Blake screamed and though he sure as hell was no masochist, Blake was grateful for the pain as it helped clear his mind and gave him the focus, he needed to push himself up and get on his feet.

Earlier Blake had taken a couple of healing potions and though he was still badly injured, the potion had done a good job in going to his most pressing matter, one which involved sealing the five holes Kate had put in him.

Standing to his feet and looking around, Blake was surprised to now find himself in a confined red translucent barrier that was big enough to hold just one person which was him.

"What is happening it was much bigger than this" Blake thought but then another wave of pain went through him and this time, like a hand was pressing down on his shoulders, he fell to his knees and with wide-open eyes could only watch as the barrier around him dropped to reveal the outside world, one which had him kneeling in sort of circle drawn with what looked like blood, and the six adventurers he once protected sitting cross legs small separate circles that were placed around him.

Ignoring the adventurers, Blake looked to the orchestrator of this whole event and his eyes narrowed as her current appearance now confirmed his conclusions on her not being human though the petite but busty blue-haired girl standing beside her threw Blake for a loop.

Having discarded the big mage robes she had been wearing since he encountered her, Kate was now dressed in a black crop top that showed way too much of her deep cleavage, she wore tight black pants and black boots, her black lipstick and red eyes giving her a kind of deadly sexiness that Blake could at the moment not appreciate.

"To think after all that he was still able to get on his feet, it seems you were right to inject him with so many doses of debilitants when you stabbed him mistress," the young woman standing to Kate's left said stooping over in her short free flowing gown that barely covered her butt while looking at Blake with eyes full of amazement.

"Begin the extraction" Kate coldly said and when the ritual rune which she had drawn and placed the Blake and the rest of the adventures in lit up, she couldn't help but smile in ecstasy, especially when a pure scream of anguish left Blake's mouth.

"Ahhhhhhh" Blake screamed looking to the sky, blood flowing down his eyes and his body trembling as it felt something being pulled out of it.

"Is she trying to pull out my innards?" Blake thought doing his best to analyse the horrible situation he was in.

Truly, Blake was in bitter pain, at the moment, but the thing was that just now, he had remembered that he had actually been thrown into hell and with that remembrance, a certain calm settled within him.

It was just like how despite the Grommash beating him up he was still able to remain calm despite it being his first really tough combat.

"Perhaps it has something to do with my strong will," Blake thought and an internal sigh, seconds after he began screaming, he shut his mouth and looked at Kate.

Sure, Blake's body remained trembling, his face shaking, his teeth threatening to chatter, but there was no more scream from him and Blake liked the look of fear that passed through Kate's eyes as she looked at him.

"I wasn't that Blake stopped feeling pain or was immune to it, the thing was that he could exert a portion of authority over his body and dictate how it reacted to the pain and though he couldn't stop the trembling, he could sure as hell stop himself from screaming."

"Now for this stupid force trying to pull out my soul or whatever," Blake thought and with a shout he mentally pulled back on whatever was being taken from within him, breaking it away from whatever force had been tugging on it and standing up to one knee, but then before he could do anything else, Blake felt a more powerful force descend on him and this time he could actually feel that his soul was the target.

"Ehh mistress you are making them use their life force to extract his soul, by the time all this is over, they will all be dead and it will mean that your plan to explain Blake's death to the town people will become useless."

"My ascension is more important, and getting the sun's blessing from him is a necessity since he is too stubborn to let me peacefully take it, then his soul will be the price" Kate said in a firm tone.
