Sinister Knight: Dawn Of A Sinful Calamity

As Kail walked past him, Blake's eyes followed his figure, and within him he sighed.

Kail, Naomi, Solara, all three of them were third order beings yet right from the moment Rehabab revealed himself till now, Blake had not seen an iota of fear appear on their faces.

It was like to them; he was just another fourth order being who was in their way and needed to be put down.

Looking at their stats, Blake could only remember Rehabab's fears and finally understand them.

"The blessed and talented ones" Blake thought remembering Mr. Black warnings of extremely talented people and wondering if the man revealing such things to him had triggered a sort of karma that saw him encountering not one but two them.

"What a bummer"

As this thought went through Blake's mind, he had the blood which had been steadily accelerating throughout his body double in speed and then his figure turned into a bloody mist, one accompanied by a loud impact resounding through out the battlefield and stunning the onlookers once more as they found Blake now standing where Kail who had been casually walking towards had once been.

"Sorry about the interruption, you can carry on" Blake said his back to the three onlookers as he walked towards the figure of Kail that was still shooting through the air, his eyes following a red light that was following after his airborne figure, this red light being the spear he had sent through him and wanted to go retrieve.

"What an arrogant bastard, he could have called on his spear but just so he could spite me he decided to walk past m retrieve it."

As Blake walked towards Kail, the red mist which till hung over his body was slowly absorbed back int him and to the view of all the flesh around the hole in his chest squirmed and began rapidly filing up, his flesh regenerating at a visible speed.

The blood mist Blake had turned into came from the one blood technique he had been able to find in the shop and buy. [Sacrificial Blood Mist]

The technique had cost Blake a whooping 20000 sin points and to make matters worst, just like its name implied it required a sacrifice to work, a sacrifice of blood or in other words vitality.

Unlike other sacrifice techniques that gave a massive boost in strength and speed, the blood mist served mostly as an escape technique, this meaning that it focused on giving it's user just an extremely high burst of speed.

Blake's little move against Kail had cost him 2.2 points worth of vitality and when he heard Kail's complain as he got closer, he felt it had been worth it.

"That was painful" Kail said as he rubbed his chest looking at Blake with smile, "If you had swung your blade instead you have ended me." Your story continues with m-vl-em|p-yr

"Or you would have ducked" Blake replied getting a chuckle from Kail.

"You're right, I would have dodged it, but it's not my fault you weren't fast enough."

Hearing this statement, Blake had to sigh and internally agree because truthfully his plan with the blood mist had been to slice off Kail's head but to his shock, as he turned, Kail's body had already began getting in a position to duck the man having somehow telegraphed his move despite his sudden speed.

Within that tiny bit of time, Blake's mind had quickly gone into overdrive and thought to immediately turn his sword into a shield so that at least his hit would be a guaranteed one and he would be able to avoid any sort of retaliation from Kail.

"Maybe I should have increased the amount of vitality consumed" Blake thought but then could only sigh as doing that would have made his build up to the attack longer and also alerted Kial of his intentions before he could even execute them.

"There is also the problem of how well I can control myself at such a speed."

While tremors, explosions and waves of heat rang out from the battle going on between Rehabab and Naomi, Blake and Kail walked towards each other and when they were several steps away stopped.

"Are you sure you want to continue with this fight, why not have your infernal pet swap with you, he is the one I actually want to fight, your challenge just fired me up."

"If I do that, how would I kill you." Blake said but his words got Kail laughing at him.

"Where do you find the arrogance to speak like this because seriously, you're nothing but a talented trash. I wonder what demon duke spawned an idiot like you.

I mean the demons preparing to go to the war with the living but if the other nobles are like you, then perhaps we should take the war as a sort of training episode.

They Books speak highly of blood demons but look at you."

As Blake listened to Kail talk and arrive at multiple wrong conclusions while also confidently letting out some information, Blake could not help but remember the message he had gotten after acquiring the sin of pride.

[What is pride, what do you have to be proud of]

"What makes so confident that you will kill me." Blake suddenly asked, interrupting Kial.

"My strength" Kail simply replied, but Blake was not done with his question.

"What about my own confidence, what if I also believe without a doubt that I will also kill you."

"What does that matter to me, even if you believe that you can conquer the world, what matters is my belief."

Kail's words had Blake forehead furrow but within a second Kail spoke once more,

"Are you trying to make some sort of comprehension, I can move back and give you space"

The arrogance of Kail's word had Blake taken aback, but then he smiled at the red hair.

"My name is Blake Luxander, you've earned my admiration Kail and for that I would let you choose which woman I should spare after I've killed you."

"Baseless pride is nothing but arrogance Blake, and that alone has gotten more rankers than you can count dead."

"I know."

"Well then so what has you so full of pride."

"The fact that I'll kill you today."
