Description: The blood ritualists are a cult of humans that follow the demoness, Keturah. Following the will of their misters they make many offerings for her, the offerings include the flesh and blood of many different beings, human being her favorite. The more precious the offering the more benefits Keturah will bestow to her followers, when encountering such filthy beings make sure to kill them quickly and fight in close range as their blood magic is weak then. Some exceptions do exist.

"These things were once human?" Reign asks in shock as he looks at the ritualists, their nails were long and black, parts of their bodies had already turned to a dark reddish color, showing their corruption by the demoness. They wore black robes inlaid with dark red lines, their irises were red while the rest of the eye was pitch black in color. Their teeth were a dark yellow, similar to a half-rotten banana.

"Misters wasn't satisfied with the last offering, humans, we need to offer her humans so that she will bless us." One of the ritualists says, looking at his robes which were inlaid with more lines Reign and the others understood that he was the leader of the group.

"But where will we find them, we can only kill the rotten vamps and spiders around here, the other beasts are too strong, and no humans can be found." Another ritualist complains to the leader, his eyes showing his helplessness towards the situation, they were no longer human and had no qualms about using them as offerings, they would gladly do it in fact, it was only that they couldn't find any that made them feel so helpless.

"The time will come where we can venture out of this forest, by then we shall slowly get stronger." The leader comforts them with a sigh, he also had no clue to where they could find humans.

Rustle

Suddenly they could hear the rustles of the leaves, looking up they only see the trees with nobody on them.

Swish

An arrow travels straight towards the leader's forehead, his pupils widen as he hastily dodges to the side, only getting a cut on the left side of his head.

"Here we are."

Reign says as he suddenly shows up next to the leader, swinging his sword he starts fighting the disgusting being with all of his might.

"Humans!" The leader shouts in anger as he unsheathes his sword, blocking Reign's strike in the process. His sword was a normal steel sword that had red lines on it, the red lines shinning every time he strikes, seemingly strengthening it. The red sword collides with Reign's Broken sword of Dominance and creates sparks.

"I heard you were looking for us so we came to say hello, I hope you don't mind!" Reign says as he pushes the leader before jumping back and flicking his finger, releasing a weakened version of the lightning bullet at him. The bullet hits him in the shoulder as there was not enough time or space for the leader to dodge, the robe offers little protection to his shoulder as it gets torn at the point of impact, the bullet managing to burn his flesh and make a small wound there.

"You inferior-" The leader growls in anger before his sentence gets cut short by explosions nearby, glancing over he could see his underlings fighting a bitter battle with more humans, even though they had the superiority in numbers they were losing.

"Youu!" The leader shouts at Reign as blood starts flowing out of his orifices and turning into a mist of blood that lingered around him. The leader's face turns wicked as he lunges at Reign "Die!"

Clang!

Reign blocks the attack and feels his hand getting a bit numb, the physical prowess of the leader suddenly went a huge change when the blood mist showed itself, it was a type of rage skill, similar to Tanks Blood Frenzy.

The two come to clashes many times in a span of a minute, neither side backing away, the leader's strength was actually a bit above Reign's but his fighting skills were far lower, allowing Reign to fight evenly without even using his skills. As the leader sees that he can't win he glances at his subordinates again, only to find their number halved after a short time, his pupils constrict as he thinks of running away, but first, he must deal a heavy blow to the young man in front of him.

"Blood art!"

The sword in the leader's hand suddenly turns completely red as a red-colored flame clads it, the flame spreads quickly to the leader's body, cladding him completely.

"Flames of Keturah."

The leader utters as he looks at Reign who was now a bit stressed, the leader's whole aura underwent a huge change now, the pressure he was exhibiting was many times higher than before. Reign knew he had to use everything now, the backlash such skill had was definitely not low so he knew the leader would be able to fight for only a short period of time before it disappears.

Lesser Lighting Body

Reign immediately used his newest skill, with the boost provided by it he was fully confident in taking the leader head-on as the pressure lessened considerably. Not satisfied though Reign activates two more skills, wanting to kill the leader at his strongest, why, he himself didn't know, it was as if his entire being hated the flames, wanting nothing more than to extinguish it completely.

Lightning Charge

Lightning Stab

Reign lifts his sword up to the height of his shoulders, drawing his right hand back he takes a low stance, looking like a spearman that held his spear for the final attack as the lightning lance forms around his entire arm.

The leader sees his movement and lifts his sword above his head, holding it with both hands firmly. His legs were about one foot apart, a bit bent. His chest swells up as he takes a deep breath.

Demon Overhead Cut.

The two move at the same time, the ground beneath their feet sinking down from the movement, Reign disappears in a flash as a trail of lightning was left by his movement, his arm now fully extended down as the ground beneath the sword was left with a hole in it.

Behind him the leader was standing with the sword down, the slash leaving a small cut on the ground, his hands were at the same level with his hips and one leg was forward as he took a step to slash down.

The left side of his chest was gone, a semicircle was left there as part of his ribs could be seen. The hole spread all the way to the middle of the chest, completely destroying his insides and decimating his heart.

"F-fast." The leader utters his last words as he collapses, blood spewing out of his wound. The other ritualists manage to see his death and despair, without him they knew they had no chance of winning the battle, the enemies in front of them were already overwhelming them and the only way to win was for the leader to help them, seeing him die in battle against an even more fearsome enemy made them know that their death was close.

They fight back against Wolf and the others since their deaths were certain they were going to make sure to at least take one of their enemies with them, no matter how impossible that might be. Their bodies start to slowly break down from the excessive usage of their skills, but they didn't care, until they die they were going to use everything they got to fight back.

Wolf and the others finally start to feel some pressure as their opponent's suicidal attacks were not easy to deal with, they didn't care if you hit them, they would simply try to hit you back harder, exchanging blows wasn't something they were willing to do, the enemy was at death door anyway, so why risk an injury.

Reign looks over but doesn't join them immediately, his breathing was heavy as the final attack left him a bit drained, it was the first time he tried using 3 skills together and the effect was incredible, the speed he reached was almost at the level of Mach 1, but the mana usage was equally terrifying.

Regulating his breathing he slowly makes his way towards the other cultists, who panic even more when they see him, they were using everything they had and still couldn't heavily injure their opponents, if a monster like him joined then it was over, his final attack was witnessed by some and it made their hearts stop for a moment.

Some of them immediately break away from the others and try to run away, only to fall down as Shadow uses his ability to stop them. Reign dashes at them as an arrow hits one in the head, killing him immediately.

The battle was soon over as Reign and the others made short work of the remaining enemies, their clothes soaked in their blood.
