Sinister Knight: Dawn Of A Sinful Calamity

Behind Selric was a middle aged with a black armor and red sword walking towards him, his every steps that let out a thump, which spoke of the weight of the amour on his body.

The man had on a charming smile as he approached Selric but then a second later that smiled was wiped off as a fiery red hand shot of from Selric's back like it was an extra arm and grabbed him.

Ignoring the man behind him, Selric took the staff off his back and with a shout swiped it at the barrier, sending it trembling, it's figure fazing in and out.

"How rude" the middle aged man behind Selric said as he watched him try to destroy the barrier, the man's face calm like he wasn't being squeezed by a giant hand made of flames.

Though Selric could feel how easily the man behind him was handling his attack, he didn't have time to focus on him because right before his eyes his family was being burnt flesh by flesh, their screams though inaudible to him, very clear and he could not help but release tears as he repeatedly smashed his staff against the barrier, pouring as much mana as he could into it.

"Why, why, why after all these years, how could these people betray us like this."Blake thinking about the reason for today's events.

You see here on plume, there were three dominant races, the humans, the giants, and the elves.

Each of these races stayed on their own continents which they dominated, and most importantly they each hated each other.

Hurk Zayen and Glinda Zayen were Selric's father and mother respectively with Hurk an elf and Glinda a human.

Though Selric knew there was more to the story, the only thing he had been told about his past self by his father was about how he and his mother got together.

Apparently, Glinda had found a heavily injured Hurk washed up ashore the river banks and then rather than report his existence to the authorities, she had instead cared for him and nursed him back to health

From there, they had engaged themselves in a fantasy tale of love and gotten married.

Selric didn't know the specifics, but by the time he had been adopted to the Zayen family, his father had already become powerful and prominent person in the country and been assigned a territory to handle.

The number of people Selric's father had leaked the secret of whom he truly was Selric did not know, but what he did know was that the church of fire had found out about his true species and sent for the immediate extermination of the Zayden family and most importantly him.

When Selric had asked about his family, he had been told that they had been taken to the central town of this area to be burnt alive, the nature of his father and siblings as elf breeds and his mother a traitor to her race to be announced.

To his shock he found that he had even been a priority target and that someone special had ben sent just to deal with him, but unfortunately, he got to the compound far earlier than anticipated.

Well at this point the question of who had been sent to deal with him didn't really bother Selric because that person was behind him right now.

"The champion of fire, Bram Thalryn"

"Hmm kid, you know I'm here to ensure they die right, I can't really allow you rescue them." Bram casually said from his position of capture only to be ignored by the desperate boy.

Every hit Selric made with his staff had the barrier trembling and the ground quaking

Relentless in his desire to destroy the barrier, within 10 second Selric had already hit the barrier 10 times and by his eleventh he had the earth upon which the barrier stood cracking.

"I'm already straining it's entire structure, I just need to keep up with this intensity, soon the seal powering it up will be overheld by the damage I'm dishing out, they won't be able to repair the barrier fast enough."

Selric's plan while brute was actually the fastest and most efficient way to take down the barrier given his conditions, but then there came the problem of the fact that though his arrival had killed a few people and dispersed the crown around, Excluding Bram who was behind him, Selric could spot some individuals around, and though their aura's were hidden, he could already imagine the strength church needed to have deployed to detain his father.

Still caught in the grip of Selric's fiery arm and not minding that he was ignoring all he said, Bram admired the precise mana flow and efficiency used in the creation of the technique for some seconds and then he spoke.

"You know, this doesn't make sense. I'm the champion of fire and your using fire to bind me. Are you just dumb did you just recently use this technique and it was still in your head."

Brams's question saw no reply from Selric who kept hammering at the barrier with his staff, the image of the barrier at this point being constantly visible, the barrier having taken too much damage.

"I don't know whether to marvel at your physical might, the fact that you figured physical attacks work best on the barrier so fast or the tenacity of that staff.

Then again, it's a staff from mount Yoko. I wonder how do you feel about the monks. Though it is righteous that they said they wouldn't kill you themselves, they had no qualms letting you leave today and come to die at my hands."

Brams words filled Selric with information that he hadn't started to ponder about, but with more tears going down his eyes as he watched his family burn and thought of the monks he had been with for the past months, he paused for only a second before continuing to hammer the barrier.

"That barrier is a lesser version of a gift I received from the god of fire. I commend your strength for being able to put it under such strain, not even I can do that."

When Bram saw that his words were not evoking any intense reactions from Selric, he went silent for a few second and after thinking for a while, a cruel smile came to his face.

"I heard your closest to your elder sister, how come you haven't asked me about her, surely you've noticed that she isn't in there."

Though Bram's words had more tears going down Selric's eyes, his words didn't put a pause to Selric's actions.

"I've captured and kept her in my chamber, when I'm done with you and your family, I'll return to her and enjoy her services. I've always wondered what an elf feels like, she should be tasty."

Just as Bram finished his words, Selric's staff landed on the barrier once more and this time it shattered it and without delay, Selric shot forward.

By the time the barrier fell, only Selric's father was conscious, the rest having already collapsed after screaming in pain for so long.

The distance between Selric and his family was just about three steps, something he could cover faster than the blink of an eye, but then just as Selric saw the light he had been hammering fot, it was covered by a smirking middle-aged man who was bathed in flames.

"Did you really think I would let you save them. Your anguish is my pleasure Selric, why did you think I let them burn in ordinary fire.

The plan here is simple Selric. You and I will battle while they burn, but first let's wake up those sleepy heads, how can we fight without music."
