I Aggressively Stack Steel of the Heart in the Knight Order

Urus hesitated upon hearing the command.

”My lord.”

”I said, let him go.”

If Reinhardt had given such a forceful order an hour ago, Urus would have surely disobeyed, grown resentful, and even feigned compliance.

But now...

Reinhardt’s every word and deed, the authority and pressure of the Upper Ranks he radiated at every moment, were deeply seared into the mind of the Silencer Warlord, Urus Brutus.

He fell silent for a moment before slowly pulling the short knife away from Judge Kavol’s neck.

At the same time, this declared his silent acquiescence and acknowledgement of Reinhardt’s authority and say within the Vengeful Angels Battle Group.

After Urus let go of Kavol, the Judge attempted to counterattack, but there was nothing behind him but empty air.

The other Judge, holding the Black Blade, tried to sneak up on Reinhardt from behind, relying on the Black Wall Secret Weapon’s ability to block Extraordinary Power. But he seemed to have forgotten he was facing a two-meter-tall Imperial titan skilled in Body Techniques Combat.

Despite the Judge’s powerful build and exceptional combat prowess, he was completely overwhelmed.

A few punches and kicks, and he was out cold.

Meanwhile, Urus appeared silently beside Koller.

As Kavol raised his head, all the Church Knights stood by, silently witnessing the confrontation.

Reinhardt simply stood his ground, his voice hoarse. ”Don’t say I never gave you a chance, Judge. Since you’re so eager to arrest me, I’ll stand right here. Come on. Fight me.”

At that moment, in the eyes of the many Church Knights, it didn’t matter whether Reinhardt had truly colluded with Demons and blasphemed against the Divine Emperor as the warrant claimed.

All they saw was an Emperor’s Angel who held true to his ideals, whose methods were just and honorable, and whose knightly spirit shone brilliantly.

From the moment they first met him, even with the strength to overpower Knight Commander Aiden with a single hand, he had never once used his power to bully the weak.

Every word he spoke was filled with the iron will and glory of an Imperial Knight.

When one Church Knight slowly lowered the Knight’s Broadsword he was gripping, more and more Church Knights followed suit, lowering their weapons.

Seeing this, the Judge with the broken front teeth roared in fury, ”What do you think you’re doing?! Do you want to commit treason, too?! Get over there and arrest him!”

However, Knight Commander Aiden, who had just scrambled up from being pinned to the ground by Reinhardt’s single hand, merely gave him a cold glance and said, ”A Knight’s Duel is witnessed by the Great Emperor.

You have no right to arrest him before the duel is over, Lord Bloddy.”

At the same time, he raised a hand to signal the Order Think Tank, Amelia, to cease her Spiritual Energy attacks. He then turned to look at Koller’s group of three and gave a slight nod to the Vengeful Angels Think Tank.

During his fight with Reinhardt, no matter how shameful and vile the crimes listed by the Judgment Court were, all Aiden had seen with his own eyes was an Imperial Knight cloaked in glory.

Human empathy always finds a way to express and convey emotions, often unconsciously.

Perhaps it was because he had served for too long.

Perhaps it was because the glorious ideals of a nobler age had long been extinguished by the depravity of the Great Rebellion.

Koller’s heart, long as cold and hard as stone, now stirred with a passion he had not felt in ages. In Reinhardt’s actions, he saw a great Knight who should have been born in the era of the Great Expedition, a time when the light of idealism illuminated the Human World.

But even so, the destruction and chaos of the Great Rebellion had failed to extinguish the ideals and beliefs in this young Imperial Knight’s heart!

As for Stearns, seeing their enemy’s acknowledgment of Reinhardt sent a fiery passion surging through his chest!

The one their enemy acknowledged was none other than the Imperial Knight he admired most, second only to Lord Sedon. It was Reinhardt—the Imperial Knight whose courage and glory shone as brightly as the sun, even in the darkest corners of the Demon Void Realm, in the face of death and suffering!

When Kavol saw the Church Knights who were supposed to be helping them lower their weapons one by one, he knew in his heart that this operation had failed.

Faced with the truth, the charges he and the Grand Judge had painstakingly fabricated seemed utterly laughable, like snow under a scorching sun.

But he refused to accept it.

’If I can just defeat Reinhardt, if I can overwhelm this bastard with my strength...’

’...then I can still turn the tide! With the weight of my authority, I can reverse this entire failed situation!’

The last light of day faded from the distant skyline, and the external floodlights of the Avenger Flagship cast a blinding white glare.

A cold night wind swept across the land.

The Scroll Kavol tore open was called the ’Black Wall Secret Scroll’. It contained the power of a Legendary Demon Hunter or a Supreme Grandmaster. Empowered by this Heroic Spirit Power, he could even go head-to-head with a top-tier Four-star Earth Knight!

This was why he was so aggressive and certain of victory!

And at this moment, what he had obtained was the residual Extraordinary Power of a Supreme Grandmaster. Even a mere sliver of it granted him a mighty power that some Imperial Knights might need a hundred, or even a thousand, years of battle to acquire!

He let out a roar of unwilling defeat as his heart began to pound like a terrifying engine. His Physical Strength, amplified by the Supreme Grandmaster’s Mighty Power, turned him into a living weapon.

Kavol moved so fast that even the spectating Church Knights couldn’t follow his movements.

Every one of his punches struck like a cannon blast!

The force of a single punch was enough to kill a Mixed-blood Dragonman Warrior!

But this barrage of attacks, smashing against the Power Armor covering Reinhardt—an Extraordinary Armament made of a dark purple, living substance—only produced terrifying ROARS. The massive shockwaves turned into a gale, kicking up clouds of dirt and grass.

From start to finish, Reinhardt just stood there, unmoving, silently enduring the Judge’s furious, desperate assault.

Perhaps Kavol’s intelligence stated that Reinhardt’s Knight Power was an Extraordinary Armament with extreme mobility, but he would never know that the true strength of the Morphic Armor was its terrifying defensive capability!

Empowered by the Steel of the Heart, the defensive capabilities of this Extraordinary Armament had already reached a shocking level!

Kavol’s assault was spectacular, but the pressure his fists put on the Morphic Armor was less than a single bear hug from Flayer Du Ma, that freakishly powerful Fear Knight.

If Sedon hadn’t already heavily wounded Du Ma before the fight, even with his mastery of Domain Power, Reinhardt would have been no match for that terrifying foe.

Now, watching Judge Kavol’s fierce assault, though it would certainly drain a lot of stamina, such an offensive couldn’t even scratch the Morphic Armor.

It continued until the fist Kavol threw at Reinhardt was caught in a death grip by a massive hand.

The Judge’s all-out assault earned him only a single, merciless response.

”You... are too weak.”
