Sinister Knight: Dawn Of A Sinful Calamity

When the first brigade of the third division of the royal army had first arrived in Ladascar, they had been quick to round up the villagers with force, not giving them any explanation before then moving them to a field some distance away from the village and keeping them there under supervision.

With the sudden nature and secrecy of their orders, the army's plan had been to raid Ladascar village for resources, taking every useful thing they could find before then marching forward and setting camp at a location much closer to the valley where the rift was to appear

For the villagers whose lives she had upturned something that the demons would inevitably have done when they appeared some hours later, while Hannah and her army marched to war, she assigned a few men to lead this people way from the village to a location where they would be retrieved upon the end of the battle.

The most optimal option for these people would have been to let them go, but unfortunately, her orders were to keep this war a total secret, something that could not be achieved if she let the villagers scatter about and run to the surrounding towns, villages and cities.

Hannah's arrangements had been one of goodwill, her plan giving the villagers a chance to escape if she lost the war as they would be far from both the battlefield and Ladascar and also giving Blake Luxander the best of conditions in which he could evolve into a demon.

Though Blake had ridden away from the camp, seeming to be heading back to the nearly deserted village, his true destination was the site that held the villagers and all those who were without the ability to fight.

With Rachira and Olivia by his side, Blake had easily bypassed the few men that were watching over the villagers, Rachira easily taking command of them, and freeing Kate and Lena.

"Blake" Lena called out tearfully running up and hugging him, tears going down her eyes as she dramatically hugged Blake, not minding the fact that Blake's focus was not on her.

With a small smile, Blake focused his gaze on Kate, speaking to her immediately she got within range

"Today I will become a blood demon," Blake said and with a smile Kate nodded, extending an open palm to Blake and without a word, Blake dropped something in it.

"Master you are quite resourceful, I have heard of them but never seen them, can I ask how you got it," Kate said holding up a ring that glistened even in the darkness they were in, showing how highly refractive it was considering it had just the moon and the lit torches around to provide it light.

"That's a secret, now go do your job," Blake asked, keenly watching as she turned away his eyes going to her ass and lovely legs, but before he could drink in any sight the sound of another random explosion which dimly lit up the night sky sounded from the battlefield and Blake looked in that direction.

Unhappy with being ignored, Lena took her head off Blake's chest and with a pout looked at him, but Blake's gaze never left the sky which had by now returned to its dark state, his ears instead becoming focused on the sounds of battle he could hear and his mind becoming enamored by a thought that had for some time been slumbering in it but was now awakening.

For several seconds, Blake tried to fight this thought, logic and reality whispering to him how fatally stupid, risky and unnecessary his idea was but Blake's greed was unquenchable.

"I guess the sin of greed won't be so bad for me" Blake chuckled to himself confusing Lena and then he turned to the system.

"How far do you think I should go to strengthen myself before I ascend to the first order."

[Error….. Error...Error….]

Seeing the error message flashing before his eyes, Blake was a bit surprised, but then quickly his surprise turned to anger and then curiosity and caution were added to it.

Other than Lilith, there was only one other person that had access to Blake's system and that person was the bastard that had gifted him the armor of hell and nearly killed, and though Blake had sworn and cursed the bastard, he couldn't help but wonder what he wanted, after all, say what you want but whoever that being was, he was seriously powerful and he gave very powerful gifts.

[Error…. System reboot initiating...]

[System reboot cancelled, system corrupted]

[Hello Blake]

"Hi" Blake blandly said adding a warning" Please be careful not to break my system"

[so how u doing buddy]

"I'm not sure we could be called buddies, what do you want,"

[I'll be leaving for a very long time, so I decided to drop by and see how you were doing, but then I saw your question to the system and decided that since you actually survived summoning the armor of hell, why don't I find another way to kill you, one which you would gladly embrace.

But I don't want it to be said that I ruthlessly bullied my Junior, so tell me Blake do you want to hear the suicidal information I want to share]

Blake wanted to say that there was no way he was going to engage in an act that would lead to his death but then that was something that this anonymous being should know, so it meant that whatever it was going to say was something truly dreadful but delicious.

"Is it something I can benefit from?"

[Yes, greatly]

"Tell me"

[Amongst the ruling demons of hell, from your interaction with Lilith where do you think she ranks in terms of power.]

"The bottom" Blake unhesitatingly said

[Close but wrong, but it's okay you are on the right path.

Now between the gods who have their chosen champions and Lilith, who do you think is stronger.]

"The gods"

[Correct]

Seeing this answer, Blake's expression became one of concentration as he felt there was very important information in the words, he had just been told but to his frustration, he could not get his hands on it.

Luckily for Blake, his anonymous helper/stalker wasn't interested in keeping him on the fence.

[Now tell me, with Lilith being amongst the weakest in hell and not even coming close to measuring up to the gods, what exactly can she offer that the other gods can't, or better yet, what can she offer you that will give you an edge over the various champions and monstrously talented individuals that run amuck in the world.]
