The Rise of the Beast

The leader of the Black Eagle Guard, the Fiery Blade clan's private military force, was stabbed to death by a servant he had married within the clan.

The head of Golden Hall, who managed the clan's wealth, was beheaded by his own son.

And the gatekeeper, tasked with guarding the clan's nameplate?

His heart was ripped out by his daughter's hands.

When had it started?

How had so many members of the Eastern Mountain Fiery Blade clan fallen to the Demonic Sect?

How long had even the Fiery Blade clan's bloodline been ensnared by their temptations?

Regis, the leader of the Eastern Mountain Fiery Blade clan, could not find an answer.

Ten years ago, he had slain countless remnants of the Demonic Sect with a single spear in Eastern Mountain, earning the nickname Black Sun Spear.

He had believed, without question, that his clan was free of the Demonic Sect's influence.

But he had been wrong.
