Chapter 38: Infernal Bane II
Through the darkness, the sct of copper spilled into the air, staining it with its metallic aroma. The stch was pungt, caring a harsh ssation welcomed by death.
Altair stared at the bodies before him with unfeely eyes. Their faces, unaware of his blade sinking through their flesh like hot butter. It had be easy. And it was growing easier with each swing of his sword. As was the chime of his system that sounded with each kill.

"This makes... Eight." He counted to himself, taking his leave without another thought as he moved with the shadows. Finding comfort in the darkness, Altair stepped into the hall. His footsteps were so light that the motion ssors could not perceive his existce. He was focused, like a beast bearing down on its prey.
From room to room, blood followed the Prince's blade till his face was painted red, and his eyes glinted a scarlet hue.
'Was this what it meant to be King?' he pondered. Seemingly questioning the value of life that made little to no sse at the d of his blade. 'Or is being a King the only way to stop meaningless death?'

Stepping out to the hall, he glanced to his left to a stranger wielding a dagger in his hand. His expression was cold as the very dagger he held poised for action. The stranger bore a distinctive burn mark over his eye, wet with tears.
"You bastard!" Cal barked. " You fucking bastard!"
Altair turned to him, keeping his grimoire hidd within his tunic. He wiped the blood-drched over his lips. "Fourte. You'll make fourte." And his eyes swayed to his rear as he dipped to a single knee as silvery light whipped past his head. " You'll make fifte." Altair coldly said to Kirr.
'How!" Kirr howled in his mind as his scimitar slashed towards the Princes again. Sparks flared to life as he parred, using Kirr's weight to fuel his own. Altair smiled as he was thrust to Cal.
"Shit!"
Cal rushed forward, wanting to catch the Prince. Before he landed, greed flashed over Cal's scarred face as he laughed wildly." GOT YOU!!!" He roared, lifting his sword to split the Prince in half.
Altair grinned mid-flight wh, all of a sudd, the darkness sprang beath the unsuspecting Cal's feet.
'Shadow Cage,' said the Prince, as Tdrils of Darkness whispered out of the fog beath Cal, searing him where he stood. Altair slashed his blade over his chest, feeling his bones howl.
You know nothing. What damn right do you have to judge?"
'Is that how grown m are allowed to stay here?' Altair pondered only to shake his head. It wasn't the time to embellish in theory.
"Right, you say?" He continued as the Mana rampaging through his Mana roots fluttered out of him.

Anger twisted his refine features in a cloud of anger. "RIGHT!!! DOES THIS LOOK RIGHT!!!"

[Heart of Darkness pulses]
Cold violet-black Mana stormed off the young Prince as his eyes shimmered a scarlet pigmt. Seemingly stained by the blood pooling down his cheeks. Bloodlust emanated from his young eyes. The Mana radiated off his body, twisting into a raging pillar of raw ergy, devouring all the Mana in the local region.
Suddly, the Pillar of Violet Black Mana twisted, curling into a circle that stood like a throne behind the Prince's back.
"Impossible... Impossible! You wer't a first-tier warrior!" Cried Kirr, pointing at the complete circle.
