Sinister Knight: Dawn Of A Sinful Calamity

Ezriel weaved out of the way of the clone's attack and destroyed it, but then from the cloud of mana it released, three more clones appeared and while Ezriel spun his blade in his hand and debated how to end all of them effortlessly, from what should be the true figure of Blake who was still in the distance, a dozen lightning spears decorated by lines of fire, appeared in front of him.

"Does he think if I am distracted my armour will not work" Ezriel snorted.

With a sigh Ezriel charged towards the clones not the least bit surprised when they went on the defensive and retreated from him as a team, the spears Kial had created being sent shooting towards him at the same time.

"This just screams desperation." Ezriel thought.

To Ezriel the battle was already won and even as he flapped his wings and released a burst of speed he checked on Ciara and Bernald's situation wondering which of them to help after he was done with Kail.

Rather than kill off the clones Ezriel turned toward Blake who was in the distance and shot at him, not minding the fiery mana spears that were heading his way.

"How many times do you need to fail, before you understand that your precious mana cannot harm me" Ezriel's voice went thundering into the air, and he had just been about to fly head-on into the incoming spear when his eyes widened and with a show of dexterity, he curved his wings around him and with a flap of the left one had his body shooting to the side.

"What the hell was that" Ezriel thought to himself wondering why he had felt death when he was just a few meters from the spear."

Unfortunately, Ezriel didn't have the time to ponder about that because just as his body came to a stop, another feeling of danger appeared.

This danger came in the form of another of Kial's clones popping out of nowhere, a spear in its hand and already about to stab his armour.

"Huh"

Ezriels instinct told him to retreat and though without hesitation, he did so, he could not avoid the spear from bypassing his armour and going into him.

Though eventually the spear destabilized and broke apart, the same happening to the clone as it slammed into his armour, a spurt of blood still left Ezriel's mouth.

There was no puncture or even a scratch on Ezriel's armour but he could feel it for a fact that he had been stabbed.

Ezriel retread from Kail, looking to take a breath and try to understand what just happened but that opportunity never came as the dozens of spears which had dodged earlier came flying at him once more and after he shot out of their way, he ran into several more clones with a spear each of then popping up just beside him and getting a hit on him before he could escape or destroy them.

Within seconds, the sky turned from a place where Ezriel could manoeuvre and freely deliver his attacks to a ping-pong nightmare.

It didn't matter where in the air he flew, a clone of Kail would somehow pop out just by side and either slash him with a blade or pierce him with a spear and somehow despite this weapons and clones crumbling after showing that they were mana constructs, they would still harm him.

By the time half a minute had passed, Ezriel's face had taken on a pale colour and his face was covered in blood stains.

When he tried staying in one place to avoid running into Kial's clones which were popping out of nowhere, the spears came blitzing for him.

"They are phasing through the air and avoiding the effects of my armour. They materialize after they have passed into me and that is why they only get destroyed after damaging me.

As for his clones, he isn't creating them anywhere I appear, no, they are already there. If his weapon can phase then what stops him from filling the sky around me with his clones and then having them phase and hide from my sight.

He did it at the start of the battle. I had thought that ability was something he could only do with the mana in the atmosphere but it seems I was wrong.

But how does he have enough mana to do all these? If I am right, then just creating those mana clones in the air should have already drained him dry, but look at him he seems like he can pull off another ultimate move from his ass f I overcome this one.

No, I need help, I can't handle this phasing ability of his alone"

As Ezriel thought over his battle with Kail, he was still embroiled in careful combat with his clones.

Painfully realizing he needed help he looked towards his comrades, despair claiming his face when he saw a naked Ciara and Blake after the blood-red dome had fallen and also saw Bernald unconscious and bound up.

"No way, has Ciara betrayed us or did she seduce the enemy"

Curious to know the status of his strongest comrade, Ezriel peered at Ciara with more focus trying to read up on what was going on, and this distraction cost him as one of the remaining spears Kial had fired earlier broke off from the group and then using one of the clones as cover came bursting through it and piercing into him.

Of course as usual, after a second of phasing into Ezriel, it got destroyed but this time, he was left with a hole that ran through his body.

Blood spurted out of Ezriel's mouth and he began falling from the sky, but after descending some metres his wings flapped and he shot forward, looking to flee.

With the powerful aura that erupted out of Ezriel as he made his mad dash for safety, it seemed like he would succeed in escaping, but he had just barely gone over 10 meters when a clone appeared in the air, just a second ahead of him and crashed down on his back ending his flight.

Before Ezriel could shoot off flying again, clones began appearing around him and a fresh new lightning spear hung above.

"You can just surrender now, or we'll keep doing this till you can move no more."
