Sinister Knight: Dawn Of A Sinful Calamity

Like a dream the all-powerful white horse went crashing into the sea of lava, its form being cleanly sucked into the lethal liquid, not a sound or ripple emerging from its destruction.

Bernald was shocked by this outcome but he didn't have time to ponder on this because the platform on which he stood was already close to falling into the red pool beneath him.

He focused his gaze on Rehabab and seeing the demon stare back at him with calmness, he knew there was only one way to go about this.

For some seconds, blue lightning appeared around him intermingling with the extremely noisy white bolts and then bending his knees he shot into the air, his body flying off the platform just before it fell into the lava.

Bernald's body soared through the sky his destination the platform on which Rehabab stood.

As Bernald flew, he was ready for an attack to come shooting at him from either of his opponents but to his surprise they just watched him, allowing him to land on the flat piece of earth they were on.

"So you guys truly don't want to kill me"

"You are to be captured," Naomi said with a shrug of her shoulders, the potent mana surging in her hammer, showing that she meant business.

"Well I am grateful to you guys for letting me stand here, but that doesn't mean that I will simply hand over myself"

"It's okay, if you surrendered how would I enjoy beating you up," Naomi said moving forward but Blake stopped her.

"No way, don't tell me you want to hog all the glory for yourself, at least let me beat him up.

"It's not about me hogging glory, it's about you living.

Carelessly fighting him is a risk, especially since he is still full of juice and you are at a disadvantage given the environment."

Naomi pursed her lips at Rehabab's words, her gaze moved to the steamy environment and then she placed her hammer on her shoulder and walked to the side.

Bernald silently watched their interaction and then just when Naomi was convinced by Rehabab and had dropped her guard, he shot forward.

No longer was there white lightning coursing over him but he was now back to blue lightning and with this, his speed and physical combat skyrocketed.

Preceding Bernald's advance was a huge dragon constructed from lightning.

The dragon went for Naomi while Bernald went for Rehabab. Bernald actions were swift and smooth, the delay between him and the dragon clashing with their targets only seconds but to his astonishment, while pulling out his sword from the ground and blocking his swing, Rehabab was still able to divert his lightening dragon into the boiling liquid around them.

Understanding that his ambush had horribly failed, Bernald moved to retreat, but he found his way solidly blocked by a wall of earth which rose from the ground.

With lightning charging around him, he moved to break through the wall and make his retreat but to his shock, just as his figure touched the wall, there was a quake and then an implosion.

"Bang"

Though he was able to divert some mana to his body and protect himself before the blast hit him, Bernald was still sent soaring through the air and flying back to Rehabab the man heavily bleeding from the chest where his flesh had been nearly dug into.

With flames pouring out of the crack of his arm, Rehabab stretched it out to grab Bernald, but Naomi's hammer came falling and he was slammed into the ground.

Rehabab threw Naomi a hard stare that said he wasn't amused and that her actions weren't necessary.

"Master said to capture him, he never said anything about him being in good health when we did."

*****Back to present****

Nodding at Rehabab, Blake looked at Bernald who was bound up in an earth mound, looking quite pale.

"I see you did a number on him," Blake said waving Rehabab to stand up.

"There were a few hiccups in our battle but we managed," Rehaba replied

Blake silently nodded his head to this, looked at Naomi and then stared into the distance.

"Master what about her, she's doing something in the sky," Naomi said looking up.

"Her name is Ciara and she is now part of our team," Blake said his words evoking surprise from Rehabab and Naomi despite them having expected this.

"Is she also one of our new friends," Naomi said with a sly smile."

"Yeah but she can be quite tyrannical" Blake said making her smile fall.

"Rehabab, watch her, if she fails in finding a way to contain our auras, open a rift here."

"A rift," Rehabab asked surprise on his face, having never expected this order from Blake.

"What is a rift" Naomi who had an idea of what it might be but wanted to be sure asked.

"A passageway into the underworld one particularly meant for transporting an army from the underworld," Rehaba replied.

"Wait for Kail to finish his battle before you open the rift, and when you're done, you all flee the region and go to Paldin City."

Rehabab nodded at this but then his gaze went to Ciara up in the sky

"She looks like a handful"

"If she doesn't listen let her be."

"Where would you be going" Noami asked, the answer to her question being one that Rehabab was interested in.

"To retrieve Solara" Blake blankly said and it took several seconds for Rehaba and Naomito to understand his words, look around in doubt and then come to the shocking discovery that she was nowhere to be found.

"Solara is gone, who took her " Naomi immediately said her man pulsing the woman very agitated by the information, especially since she hadn't even picked up on it till she was told.

"Like I said, I 'm going to retrieve Solara, I know who took her."

"I'm coming with you."

"No you're not, stay here"

"There's no way…." Naomi stared but the next glance Blake threw at her, sent her stumbling backwards in terror.
