Sinister Knight: Dawn Of A Sinful Calamity

Chapter 68: Unwanted Aggro



Just as his commander was competent and did as much research as she could before the battle started, so was Marzel and when he saw Winstrel be killed and Hannah be immediately engaged in a fierce exchange, he knew the commanding of the army fell to him.

"Eyes on the enemy, shield up" Marzel's voice had sounded throughout the battlefield, sending the soldiers of the first brigade into action, but then seconds later when the much newer and faster opponents reached the army, they broke through the metal blockade by either using their huge flexible bodies to jump over it as in the case of the wolves, while the others used their formidable strength to smash through as in the case of the fiend.

Marzel had considered changing formation tactics, but when he saw the hundreds of 12-foot magma golems who were slowly climbing up the slope and moving towards the army, he decided to disperse the soldiers into far smaller units.

Giving the order, Marzel charged towards a wolf that was smashing around a soldier who could only remain turtle behind his shield and lifting his spear, as the vice commander rode by, he thrust it at the wolf piercing its neck before it knew what was happening.

"Go and team up with your comrades" Marzel said to the man on the ground and kicking his horse he continued moving around the battlefield taking the lives of several wolves and fiends, three golems falling to his blade as his spear was put out of commission.

Riding on his horse, pulling on his mana and casting a wide area technique, Marzel had several bright scorching red lights falling on several enemies, burning and blinding their eyes as they were killed by either him or their opponents who for some reason were not getting affected, and he would have continued on his rampage if it wasn't for a towering red being with horns that curved upward and black veins all over his body jumping in front of him and his marching horse and to Marzel's shock stopping the moving horse with his bare hand before lifting it and throwing it to the side.

Jumping off the unfortunate horse, Mazel looked at his opponent who grinned at him and then picked up the club it had dropped to the side, tapping the clubs end in his palm while walking up to him

"I like to smash things; I wonder what it would be like to smash a human in armour."

"This won't be an easy one," Mazel thought as he held his sword and ran towards the far taller and intimidating fiend approaching him.

On seeing his sister be suddenly attacked by a demon that had calmly approached them looking like it wanted to discuss some negotiation, Samuel had wanted to immediately rush to her aid, but then he controlled his impulses and focused on trying to coordinate his unit which stood at the rightmost side of the army, though minutes later, that plan was crushed to dust.

With hundreds of wolves running rampant, the magma golems whose every hit threatened to turn whatever they touched molten, Samuel and his unit were drawn into an open battle.

Using two curved sabers unlike her sister, Samuel's saber moved unceasingly, slicing into the enemies like they were butter. The lightning arcs cackling on his blade having a hand to play in this.

"Lightning storm"

With coordination and the cooperation of his unit members, Samuel got several dozens of wolves and imps gathered in a particular spot and then raising his hand to the sky he had powerful arcs of lightening descending from the sky onto the grouped enemy, their screams ringing out and by the time, the lightening died out, 70 % of them were dead while the survivors were killed by the surrounding soldiers without hesitation.

After this mass killing, Samuel looked around the battlefield, grinning when he noticed that his region of the battlefield had the least number of enemy soldiers but then a soothing voice interrupted his prideful moment.

"Don't be so full of yourself, none of the really powerful fiends came here because they sensed how weak all of you are." A beautiful red-haired woman with pale skin and red glowing eyes who was sat on a rock said, her fangs giving Samuel an idea of what he might be facing.

"So, what happened, they sent the weakest person they could find, a lowly incomplete Dhampir" Samuel mocked, trying to rile up the red-haired woman but she instead smiled at him.

"Yes, and apparently I'm supposed to kill you, but luckily for me, I decided to do a bit of interrogation and guess how surprised I was to find out you were actually the brother of the commander, even from here I can feel the power of you sister as she battles, but you, you just feel like a snack to me, I mean how does the senior brother sibling end up being far weaker than his junior, aren't you suppose to be the one protecting her."

"That's none of your business," Samuel said his expression now a frown and his eyes narrowed.

"Perhaps but you see, I am rather curious, how does it feel to know you are a failure while your sister is a success, how do you handle the jealousy, the feeling of inferiority, have you ever considered perhaps killing your sister, so these feeling would go."

"That's enough" Samuel roared and crossed his sabers, arcs of lightening accumulating on them and then with a roar he waved them at the dhampir despite her distance position, the frown on his face deepening when the lightening whip that extended from his sabers were evaded by the woman who took out red daggers and began throwing at him while circling him.

With ease, Samuel dodged and blocked these daggers and then he shot towards the Dhampir.

In Samuel's mind, he was battling a Dhampir who didn't know how to control her mouth, but in the real world, the Dhampir was still calmly seated on the rock and watching Samuel fight with an enemy only he could see.

The soldiers around tried to scream out to their leader and help him, but in addition to his lightning whips which would slice apart any of them if they got too close, the Dhampir had also assigned a team of wolves and magma golems to keep Samuel isolated.

"His sister is truly scary, I'm a third-order being myself but her power terrifies me even from here, I'll just stay here and wait for the result of the battle between her and Lord Baltimore, if lord Baltimore wins, I will finish him, but if his sister wins, I'll let the idiot go, there is no need to kill him now and risk the aggro of his sister.
