Sinister Knight: Dawn Of A Sinful Calamity

With a loud boom, the night was blasted away as the several meters wide circular rune lit up in all its glory, saturating the world with pure evil mana, mana so thick that it violently floated about in wisps of smoke, hugging itself around everything that contained life and drilling itself into them through either their eyes, nose, ears, mouth or the spores on their skin.

Of course, with everyone on the battlefield being a soldier, their division an above average one, they were all beings at either the first, second or third order.

Immediately this evil mana poured out, everyone had been on guard, the underworld soldiers who thrived on evil mana included as this sudden event hadn't been in the script.

When the evil mana began surrounding the soldiers, moving to enter their bodies, though some people had been clumsy and actually breathed in it, in the end, everyone sent their mana running through them and moving to either expel the foreign mana from their bodies or prevent it from entering, and this was where Blake's problem lay.

One of the main functions of the rune was to amplify the range of the will of its user and then imbue this will into the evil mana, mana which will then be dispersed into the surroundings to infiltrate the bodies of its targets and begin extracting their blood essence and soul, of course, there were several other complexities to it, but this was the part which Kate could most easily explain to Blake.

With the villagers being unranked humans who could not even muster the least bit of mana to come to their defence, if evil mana with a sufficiently strong will were to envelop them, it would easily be able to enter their defenseless body and conquer it, but when it came to trained people, worst of all ranked beings, it was an entirely different story.

With a mana core and mana which they could command as they wished, for foreign mana to infiltrate them especially given their large numbers, it would first need to conquer their minds individually and depending on how much reign one wanted the rune to have over the bodies of their target they would also have to suppress their mind.

For Blake who wanted to extract the blood essence and souls of his target, he had to conquer them in body, soul and mind and then withstand the powerful rebellious attacks which their blood essence and souls would rain on him.

Blake's original plan of taking the blood essence and souls of the villagers had already been termed as crazy and suicidal by Kate, but now this current plan of his could only be described as being unreasonable and the actions of a man who could not control his greed and some minutes ago Blake would have seen thing from this point of view, but now after talking with his Mr.

Black as Blake had now termed his unknown stalker, Blake knew that he had to be greedy, as greedy as he possibly could because that was his only way forward.

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

This was the message Mr. Black had sent to him and the second Blake had read it, his entire world had paused, trembled and then shattered.

Though Blake hadn't been a one-of-a-kind genius, his accomplishments being more of a result of his hard work, strict discipline and impeccable manners, that he had failed to put together the information that had been delivered to him on his own, filled Blake with disappointment at his own self even though seconds later he figured out why.

On earth, fantasy books sometimes talked about someone being transmigrated to a world where they were given a system and with that system became the hegemon of the world.

Though Blake had at first been unwilling to take Lilith's offer, when he did, it was with this sort of mentality that he had been operating, believing that if he played his card right, he was destined to succeed with the system.

The incredulity of him using sex to become stronger had clouded Blake's mind but now he understood the truth.

Lilith had told him that he was originally meant to be a champion to the gods and now that he thought about it, because he failed to become a champion, did it mean that these other gods stayed without one,

"No"

They found a different champion and if their initially competitive attitude over him were any indication, then it meant that all the gods sought to have a champion who was stronger than that of the other gods, and with that, it only made sense that these select individuals were given the best of cheats, skill and bloodlines, it was even possible one of them started off as a royal fairy or an archangel.

Blake had initially thought that him fucking to get Sin Points was an unreasonable cheat, but then if he carefully thought about it, where would he be if not for the tampering that Mr. Black had done to the system, Lilith had just given him a skill tree and the afterwards an incubus bloodline, that even being an option amongst others.

Sin roulette, a shop, armour of hell, the potential of these things surpassed whatever Lilith had given him, the last one being something that terrified and excited him, his brain still able to remember the ridiculous stat point it had given him, and that was it not even being fully summoned.

"Lilith needs me for a plan of hers, but who is to say she needs me to survive till the very end, perhaps she only needs me for a few missions predicting that I will soon die."

Mr. Black's message had revealed to Blake that the system was just a cheat amongst several other cheats and that he only ever had one true advantage in this life, that being his ridiculous will and that if he wanted to succeed in this cultivation world then he had to use that advantage to the max.

Sure the combined minds of a hundred soldiers were a storm he could not imagine, but what was a storm before death.

With a shout, that resonated throughout the battlefield, Blake immersed himself into the rune, one single word in his mind, this word a declaration and order for all the beings he was attacking.

"Die"

Like a horrifying melody, the screams and shouts of thousands of soldiers rang out into the air as they felt their bodies and minds be bombarded by the mana which had wrapped itself around their beings.

Of course, with defiance, the thousands of soldier, both those from the underworld and those from the world of the living fought against this evil order, they refused to allow their actions to be controlled by the vicious mana and amongst them, there were those who broke free of its hold, their mana bursting out.

Without skipping a beat, these people charged forth and ran towards the perceived source of these attacks, soldiers of light and darkness working together.

Of course, what was happening at the moment, wasn't something out of Blake's expectation and he had a simple answer to this all.

"Amour of hell"
