Sinister Knight: Dawn Of A Sinful Calamity

As the cries and roars of men fiercely battling each other sounded over the battlefield, the smell of blood and incinerated flesh perfusing the air with its stench, a silent Blake calmly walked through the chaos and madness.

With his hands in his pocket and his right gripping onto another dark dagger, Blake walked through the battlefield like a ghost, his presence undiscovered by anyone as he kept away from the excessively chaotic areas especially those occupied by powerhouses who seemed to breathe out destruction.

It had been several minutes since the reinforcements from the rift came out and by this time, the supposedly righteous army had been well slimmed down, Blake already able to make out several 2 v 1 situations.

"Soon their sufferings will be ended," Blake muttered a novel feeling within him.

Looking to the side as he moved, Blake spotted the area which had been abandoned to Hannah and the infernal demon, and he couldn't help but shake his head in pity for the poor woman who had fallen for his machinations, unaware of what she was truly fighting for.

Created in the shape of a three concentric star resting within the boundaries of a large circle bearing a cross as its centre, Blake's position was at the centre of the circle which was his ritual rune.

Standing in the centre of the ritual, the spot marked by a blood red circle, one whose creation and existence had simply been ignored by every combatant on the battlefield, Blake looked towards Kate who was sited at the edge of the second concentric star, the woman being the only person who could see him at the moment, a convenient feature shared by those wielding the dark dagger and he nodded at her.

Though Blake hadn't been in this new world for up to a month, he felt like the event that was about to take place was one which he had been planning for years, Blake felt like this would be a major changing point in his life and letting out a deep breath he smiled as he thought of the adventures that were to come and the prize that was waiting for me.

"Even if she betrays me in the future, as long as I get my parent back, I might just consider sparing Lilith." Blake thought suppressing the cautiousness in his head that said his words were too arrogant and embracing the ultimate confidence he felt in himself.

"Till I have taken my parents out of the maws of death, all creation would know no rest."

As Blake made this declaration, he had the system imbue the pure demon bloodline into him just as a bright light and thick caress of evil mana enveloped him.

...........

By the end of this battle, what would be left of my life was the question now going through Hannah's mind as he fought the monster in front of her.

Though he had yet to use his weapon or invoke any of his techniques, Rehabab had put his mana core to use and churned the evil mana, making it fill his body and have the cracks on his body glow a molten red, his body becoming akin to a furnace.

With this, despite how much strength or what tactic Hannah used, Rehabab matched her fist for fist, sword for fist.

No matter how hard Hannah swung or how much she charged her sword, Hannah found her blade easily blocked by Rehabab's bare limbs.

"With such a body no wonder he doesn't wear armour" Hannah thought staring at the demon's exposed upper chest.

Retreating from Rehabab, Hannah looked to the left and stared at the fight between the soldiers, an ache going through her heart when she saw the clear disparity in numbers that was beginning to show between her army and that from the underworld.

Though the darkness of the night dampened vision, Hannah was a third-order being and with a more than normal eyesight she could still spot how scant the uniforms of her soldiers had become.

"Rachira please hurry" Hannah muttered under her breath, her words spoken like it were a prayer but then when Hannah fully focused back on Rehabab, she saw that his gaze was fully on the battle between the soldiers.

"Damn it," Hannah thought cursing herself for being distracted and letting the infernal demon focus on the battlefield, her fear being that he would discover what she and Rachira were up to, but then his next words stunned her.

"Your plan with that female was to summon a holy divine being right."

Hannah was stunned by the accuracy of Rehabab's question unsure if he was just beating around the bush, but his next words enlightened her on the current situation.

'I've known about your plan with that woman right almost from the start, that is why I have been entertaining your nonsense and playing around with you.

So now, will you answer my question"

Though Rehabab words were very convincing and Hannah could feel like he was asking this question for an important reason, she still refused to readily give up vital information to the enemy whether it had been compromised or not.

"If you are so sure of what you say, then why are you still questioning me on the topic"

"Because for the ritual which I can already feel brewing, I sense evil mana being used and as far as I am concerned, evil mana can only be used to summon beings of the underworld."

Rehabab's words stunned Hannah and for a second, she thought the demon was deceiving her, trying to throw her mind into confusion, but then when the question of why he was doing this passed through her head she couldn't find a good reason.

"Why would Rachira summon a being from the underworld" Hannah asked herself struggling to sense the evil mana but ending up with nothing.

Hannah was quick to go on alert as she felt that Rehabab was setting her up for something, after all, it didn't make any sense for Rachira to summon a being from the underworld when they were currently having a battle against an army from there.

"What exactly are you hoping to....."

Hannah went to call out Rehabab on his false words, but then she suddenly felt the evil mana he had talked about and her word got stuck in her throat, her expression darkening and transforming to one of horror as the quantity of evil mana rapidly rose and soon it was blasting out and filling the entire battlefield as several lines of a huge ritual rune lit up.

"What is happening" Hannah asked in shock, her eyes moving all around the battlefield trying to find Rachira and get her to make sense of what was happening.

"Either a demon is being summoned or a demon is evolving" Rehabab said his eyes burning brighter as he spotted a presence which was trying to hide itself deep in the heart of the battlefield.

Hannah was a smart woman and despite her wanting to refuse it a horrible idea popped into her head.

"Did Rachira have me fight Rehabab so she could summon a demon?"

"Is that one of yours"

Hearing Rehabab's question, Hannah looked at him and followed his line of sight and though she did not immediately see what he was talking about, after about a few seconds, a figure suddenly popped into existence in an area where Hannah's gaze had been scanning.

"Blake" Hannah called and then she watched as he was completely lit up in a dark red roaring mana, mana which radiated what was unmistakably the evil essence of the underworld, and as this mana blanketed Blake, like a dark symphony, the soldiers on the battlefield all let out screams at the same time.
