Sinister Knight: Dawn Of A Sinful Calamity

In another area of the battlefield, two knights of the sun god with the backup of a priest and a ranger battled an over 5 foot tall wolf which had a giant fiend that released black smoke from its body riding it.

The fiend used a spear that infected whatever it tip touched with poison and the continuous buffs and healing from the priest were the only reason these two second-order knights hadn't lost to this third-order fiend.

"Where is that boy Blake, Hannah said he would be a powerful addition to our team' one of the knights said as he pushed himself up from the grading after being slammed by the shaft of the fiend's staff.

"I don't know; but right now, I'm more worried about that other demon that is now seated on a throne that came out of nowhere

The power from the demon battling the commander is scary and chilling, I don't want to imagine what kind of power that other demon wields, because it is actually possible that he is at a much higher order" The other knight said a they took a breather, the fiend itself also using that little time to catch its own breath.

....

All around the battlefield, from Hannah's officers to the soldiers of her army to the elites that had been forcefully recruited, though most of them weren't privy to the information on the two powerful demons that had first walked out of the rift, they could all feel their powers and seeing Hannah struggling against the who should be the least powerful of them, they could not help but look to the demon who had at some point, climbed up the slope and rested himself on a black shiny metal throne that came out of nowhere, observing the battle with nonchalance.

There was a heavy tension in the air as everyone wondered who was going to defeat these two powerful demons and as time passed, this tension only thickened, an atmosphere of fear rising with it.

Marzel and the officers noticed this change and saw the way it affected their soldiers, they saw the way battles that should have been won were being lost or protracted by their men who were beginning to have doubts and slowly losing faith in their commander.

The few officers who were together, looked at each other wanting to do something, but they knew better than to act impulsively.

Throwing around words of encouragement sounded like a wise thing to do, but what were words without actions, especially if the enemy decided to verbally counter, it would be a disaster and might just lead to blatant desertion.

At this point they could only place their faith in Hannah as she was the only person in the realm of power of these two demons' and though no one thought she was stronger than either of them, they had served under her for several years and prayed that like other times they had been faced with unfavorable odds and triumphed, she would once more be able to pull off a miracle.

...…..

As a commander, despite being engaged in a perilous battle, there was no way Hannah could not know the state of the battle and knowing what was at stake was why despite her bones crying within, her muscles aching from the numerous clashes it had been made to withstand, she did not show of the slightest sign of weakness.

Though Hannah was a step behind Baltimore in close combat, she fared worse off against the elemental-born prodigy in a distant battle and so she had to make do with close to mid-range fight.

Smashing her blade one against a defending Baltimore's staff, wanting to be on the offensive for once, just as Hannah thought she was making progress, the man's staff immediately became enveloped in lightning and before she could retreat, the area around them was bathed in blue arcs of lightning that organed from the staff in Baltimore's hand.

"Arghhh" Hannah groaned as volts ran through her, sending pain going through her nerves and trying to paralyze them.

Pumping her mana through her body, Hannah was able to keep herself mobile, but when Baltimore seized his technique and swung his staff down at her, she found herself unable to properly channel strength to her arms and hence though she blocked with her sword, she was sent falling to one knee and staying in that position for several second as Baltimore pressed his staff down on her blade which she was holding up with her two hands.

The sight of Hannah on her knees was something that for a second made the entire battlefield pause, the humans all beginning to wonder if their fate was about to be decided and though Hannah was also filled with worry, there on her knees, she felt a presence to her right and when she glanced there, looking into the crowd of fighting soldiers in the distance and through all the chaos spotted Rachira looking at her, she knew all would be alright.

Baltimore pressed down with his staff, lightning arcs beginning to spark over it when Hannah proved resilient, but before he could complete his technique and bath the woman in another storm of lightening, she suddenly glowed a bright golden light, her aura increasing and not wasting a moment Hannah pushed herself up from the ground with as much strength as she could, sending Baltimore's staff swinging up as he was caught of gird by the sudden strength and then leaving the holding of her sword to her left, hand, Hannah cocked her fist and delivered an incredibly hard punch to Baltimore, the blow making Baltimore bend over as all the air in his lungs was driven out.

Not wanting to let up on the little advantage she had gotten, while still glowing a golden shine, Hannah punched Baltimore twice on his face in rapid succession and then taking a few steps back as she could feel mana building up in him, she dropped down to the ground and slammed both her palms on it,

While Hannah performed her technique, Baltimore who had quickly recovered rather than pursue her raised his staff and slammed it down, sending arcs of lightening travelling all around them, but then when he noticed Hannah's battered armor become enshrouded in lightening and the woman not being affected by it as the powerful charges were being transferred to the ground, he hastily stopped his technique to switch to a new one, but by then it was too late as the earth he was standing on trembled.

Without warning, the radiance from Hannah further brightened, this time not just being bright but taking on a pure holy tune, this holy light making Baltimore feel heavy and then just as he burst out his mana and escaped this holy oppression, two 15 feet tall palms burst out from the ground on both his side and without, delay slammed together clapping him in the middle.

With no time to jump forward or back due to the palm's long widths, Baltimore could only raise both his hands up, wanting to destroy both palms with his fist.

A wave of fire, lightning and water began rising around Baltimore as he prepared to do this, his staff tightly gripped in his right hand, the sovereign demon already preparing for his next attack, a deadly one which would put the battle back under his control.

With an explosive outburst of strength, Baltimore shattered the two palms, but just as he brought his right hand forward, wanting to put to use the huge waves of fire, lightening and water which had been accumulating around him, Hannah who had been taking in deep breaths all this while suddenly lowered her body and then held her sword to her left side with both hands.

Immediately the woman took this stance, Baltimore's eyes widened as a sudden sense of danger hit him and then just as the bright light which had been radiating off Hannah unbelievably further intensified, he with a roar waved his staff at her, the elements above him coiling around each other and shooting towards Hannah in the form of a piercing and expanding torrent.
