Way of the Knights

---

"Ah, it\'s concealed by a Runic Formation." Raven muttered as he observed the place in front of him while he\'s inside the Spatial Abode. 

Through the naked eye, this place is nothing but a cliff side, however to trained eye like Raven who also has sharp senses, this cliff side hides many secrets.

Raven studied the Runic Formation that is concealing the camp of Black Curtain Guild. After doing so, a smirk appeared on his face as he said:

"Almost fooled me for a second there." He said, "The Rune Arrangement looked complicated but it\'s actually not. This is too simple." 

Raven drew a complex looking runes and etched it on the surface of the Spatial Abode, he did this without getting up from his seat. He placed two runes, one was to bypass the Runic Formation in front of him and the other one was to conceal the Spatial Abode even further. 

While the Spatial Abode is already concealed through space, and cannot be seen nor sensed by anyone who isn\'t him or had experienced Space Law Baptism, it still wouldn\'t hurt to remain careful. 

After doing that, he drove the Spatial Abode through the Runic Concealment Formation. 

The formation immediately scanned the abode as soon as it made contact with it. The scan recognized the familiar rune so the alarms weren\'t triggered, and just like that Raven infiltrated their branch with barely an effort. 

No one was informed about his arrival at all. He drove the Spatial Abode past the bored guards who didn\'t even feel a thing coming from the entrance. 

From the monitoring room, he had seen what the interior of camp looked like. It was a series of cave tunnels that leads towards the depths of the cliff. The scanner had been sending pulses ever since he arrived, Raven had already memorized the map in his head thanks to those pulses. He drove the Spatial Abode deeper to the camp, ignoring the dead ends and going straight through the important places of the camp.

Raven had also been observing the cultivation bases of the people around him. 

From his observations, most of these people are Knights and above. But at the same time, all of these people didn\'t achieve their current levels through normal means. 

Their souls are infested with foul aura. Just like the people he captured before, these people resorted through despicable means to attain their current strength. 

Seeing these people makes Raven sick, he didn\'t even notice that he had been frowning all this while. 

Raven arrived at his first destination, he parked the Spatial Abode and monitored his surroundings. He could see a series of cages stacked on top of each other containing some people within. He could also see some guards gathered around a small table while playing cards. He could here their conversation through the abode…

"Haha! I got you, you ass!"

"Damn it!"

"Fuck this! You won again! You must be cheating."

"Hey, don\'t blame me because your luck sucks. I don\'t cheat, I\'m just too good at this game."

"Give us a chance dude! We need to get out shit wet too! You\'ve used a \'tool\' just before we started, don\'t think it\'s out turn?"

"Shut up! It was you guys who proposed this betting in the first place. Don\'t be a sore loser."

One guy got up from his seat and walked towards the cages. Raven heard him whistling as he did so. The rest watched in envy as this guy gets to pick another woman to have fun with. 

He paced through the cages in a slow manner, it\'s like he inspecting the goods he\'s planning to buy. He stopped at one cage that caught his attention. A lecherous smile was present on his face as he watched the show of the woman behind bars. 

"Ah damn, he found her." One of his colleagues clicked his tongue while a sad sigh escape from his mouth. 

"Haha! Look at this one!" That one guy looked back at his friends and said: "She\'s yearning for attention. She\'s even using the bars."

The woman he was talking about was on fours, doing questionable activities with bars of her cage. Her face was hidden by her hair and her mouth is seemingly parched, there\'s an empty look on her eyes as she did the deed, and she seems to have lost her sanity. 

That guy opened the cage without hesitation and stood before the woman. The woman felt the movement behind her and looked back, her eyes instantly went towards the bulging pants of the guy and without hesitation, she crawled towards him, hands shaking as she took out his member and began sucking on it like her life depends on it, while at the same time rubbing herself. His friends watched the show in envy and took out theirs too. 

It was then that a shadow appeared out of nowhere and released an invisible pulse that placed everyone around him unconscious. 

Of course, this person was none other than Raven, who had a livid expression on her face. 

His eyes radiated with nothing but pure coldness. Anyone who stared at him right now will suffer the worst fate possible because Raven is in a very unpleasant mood right now.

Raven lifted his foot and stomped, not strong enough to make too much noise, just enough to shake the ground beneath him. As soon as he did that, six people flew in front of him, landing on their stiff members causing them to groan while still unconscious. 

His eyes flashed with a brilliant light, using the barest minimum of his soul power, he sent beams of light towards the soul of these people and erased them from existence. Erasing their souls means that they\'ll never experience reincarnation, they are gone, wiped out, and will never come back. 

Raven heard cries that only him could hear, those cries weren\'t cries of despair but rather joy. What Raven did appeased the remnant souls of their victims, causing them to finally passed on peacefully to the other side. 

He sent another pulse of his Chaos Force and reduced their physical bodies into ashes. 

And since they were gone without a trace, Raven directed his attention towards the women at the cages. 

All of them are currently unconscious thanks to him. Raven didn\'t need to get close in order to see what their situations looked like, he knows medicine, he could already tell the symptoms from a mere glance. 

These women had no light in their eyes anymore. They\'ve been drugged to the point of breaking. None of them has any will to live. Their eyes are hopeless and not even the most precious medicine would be able to cure them. They are thoroughly broken, and it\'s hopeless to cure them through normal means. Even if he could, whether they choose to live after everything that happens to them, is still in question. 

The emotional duress and trauma would just break them all over again. And Raven refused to permit any kind of harm to go their way anymore because he didn\'t like it at all. 

With a forlorn sigh, he released another sigh and a pulse coming from his soul. 

Without any pain, he released them from their mortal shackles. Raven soul power was filled with compassion and comforting feeling. Once the pulse swept through the women, their faces changed into a more serene and peaceful one. 

Raven saw their soul ascending to the skies. Each women looked at him with smiles on their faces, mouthing word of thanks as they went to the other side. This sight was only visible to him, and it brought him comfort that at least, they were now free from this miserable fate. 

As soon as every women was freed. Raven\'s expression turned somber once more. He disappeared from where he stood. He once again entered the Spatial Abode and drove it towards his next destination. 

Raven then went to the places where their \'resources\' are kept. All kinds of unforgivable crimes laid bare for his eyes to see. 

His mood really hit an all time low as he witnessed all of this. Even the weather outside was changing due to the raging fury that Raven was feeling. 

Of course, he did all he could to sabotage this that his actions were eventually discovered. Needless to say, he didn\'t get caught by anyone. He would appear and disappear like a ghost each time his mission was over. 

Despite the panic, Raven showed no signs of retreat. Instead, he drove the Spatial Abode even deeper to the camp and reached his final destination, the place where the leaders of the camp were present. 

"What\'s going on? Why is there so much panic?" 

"Maybe if you stop fucking around, you\'ll know." 

"Why you-"

"Stop that, you brutes! We\'re being invaded by an invisible enemy. Now\'s not the time to fight each other!"

"We\'re being invaded again? By who? Are those impressive brats back?"

Raven\'s eyebrow rose as he heard this. 

"I\'m not sure." One of them replied, "But if it\'s them, then I call dibs on the one named Luna. I\'ll make sure that she\'ll understand the true pleasure of being a woman."

"Ah, so you have chosen death." A foreign voice echoed inside the room.. "I see."
