I Aggressively Stack Steel of the Heart in the Knight Order

Empowered by the Fourth Earth Ring’s Special Ability, Time Sand Flowing, Reinhardt’s speed was difficult for even Flayer Du Ma to perceive, let alone this mediocre Judge.

In fact, at the site of the confrontation, fewer than five people were powerful enough to perceive Reinhardt’s movements.

Amelia of the Order Think Tank possessed extremely keen Spiritual Perception. She only detected an incredible and bizarre distortion in the space-time around Reinhardt.

But that was the extent of it. By the time her Spiritual Perception located Reinhardt again, he was already standing right in front of the traitor, Kavol!

Moreover, the instant her Spiritual Perception made contact with Reinhardt’s Knight Power, her consciousness was uncontrollably plunged into a horrific, bloody illusion for a moment!

She saw devastation wrought upon all living things.

She saw the cosmos burn in the fires of vengeance.

She saw a blood-red Angel standing atop a mountain of corpses.

In that instant, it was as if she had plunged into an empty, silent darkness. When the candle of her Spiritual Energy flared to life, its faint light spreading outwards, she saw it: an unspeakably vast, man-eating monster coiled right before her. Its hollow, terrifying gaze slowly lowered, fixing on her in silence.

The immense, inexplicable pressure of facing Reinhardt in person was hard to put into words.

But in the Spiritual World, the experience of facing him manifested as an illusion that was terrifyingly real!

She wasn’t the only one to fall into an illusion after their Spiritual Perception made contact with the Domain Power of Reinhardt’s Vengeful Angel form. Koller, however, saw the Empire being reborn amidst the flames of vengeance.

He even saw... a sacred, silvery radiance within the illusion.

It was the gaze of the Divine Emperor.

As for Urus, hidden in the air through Elementalization, his Knight Power was terrifyingly suppressed the instant it brushed against Reinhardt’s Domain Power—even though that power wasn’t even aimed at him.

The power of his Earth Ring was forcibly dispelled, revealing his form.

At that moment, Knight Commander Aiden and the Church Knights looked on in utter horror!

More than fear or terror, their shock was like that of witnessing an eternal Legend of the Empire from the Great Expedition era manifesting right before their eyes!

Kavol tried to resist.

But under the crushing pressure of the Domain, even the Demon Power he had embraced trembled in fear.

At that moment, only one thought remained in his mind: ’This bastard was hiding his strength, waiting for me to lose control and act first? He’s more cunning than any Demon I’ve ever dealt with...’

Clearly, there was a world of difference between killing a Judge and killing a Desecrator.

Before he struck, Reinhardt’s cruel voice rang out above Kavol’s head like a death knell pronouncing his sentence.

”Is this the full extent of your power? Traitor.”

Time seemed to slow to a crawl.

Having lost all hope, Kavol wanted to laugh—laugh at how he had so foolishly overestimated his own strength.

However, just as Reinhardt’s iron fist was about to smash the Judge’s skull, a large pool of blood, like a living creature, suddenly wove itself into a wall before the Judge!

The next moment, Reinhardt’s right hand collided with the wall of blood.

The direct clash of Knight Power sent shocking waves across the blood wall, which then erupted into a turbulent storm. The roar of the airflow even drowned out the thunder of the ship’s engines!

When the dust settled, the Judge took a stiff step back, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

He had no idea what had just happened. ’Did the Infiltrator Council send someone to save me? But... that’s impossible.’

But when he heard a voice ring out from behind him—a voice so weak it sounded as if its owner might drop dead at any moment, yet laced with malice—his face turned even uglier than it had been when he was awaiting his death.

”It’s been so many years, Reinhardt, and your explosive temper hasn’t changed one bit. And you, Kavor Spencer... enjoying that Demon Power? Heh...”

The sudden turn of events left all the onlookers stunned.

They had all assumed Kavol’s death was a certainty. They never imagined someone would intervene, let alone successfully rescue the traitor from the hands of someone as powerful as Reinhardt!

The crowd’s eyes followed the sound of the voice, landing on the space behind Judge Kavol.

In the dim glow of the ship’s searchlights, they saw a man also wearing a Judge’s uniform, but he was emaciated, with bone-white hair. Like a ghoul crawling up from the underworld, he slowly climbed out of a churning pool of blood that had appeared on the ground at some unknown point.

Three skulls hanging from his waist clacked together with a crisp sound.

He coughed violently twice, strands of his pale, withered hair falling messily in front of his eyes. Then, he grinned at Reinhardt, a morbid smile that was unsettling to behold.

Reinhardt said coldly, ”Robbie.”

A Knight’s Heavy Sword, larger than his own body, was hoisted on Robbie’s shoulder. He walked unhurriedly over to Kavol’s side. With just a single glance, this Judge who had gone completely mad after embracing the Void Realm stumbled back three steps, as if he had encountered something truly terrifying.

”Robbie Hiling! How could you...”

”We’ll discuss this back at the Judgment Court, Kavol.”

Realizing that the fate awaiting him might be more terrifying than death at Reinhardt’s hands, Kavol tried to flee, but the crimson blood, radiating an aura of immense Mighty Power, wove itself into a great net and bound him tightly.

Robbie, that half-dead smile still on his face, produced a warrant. ”This is an order jointly signed by the Shepherd Leader, Grand Judge Cole, and Grand Governor Sedon.

”Let’s see now... seems there’s a fellow named Kavor Spencer on the arrest list.”

At this, he turned to look at Kavol, his smile turning depraved. ”Do you know him?”

When Kavol saw the order in Robbie’s hands, the madness from embracing the Void Realm vanished, replaced by utter shock. He cried out, ”Impossible—! The Shepherd Leader distinctly told me...”

”Hn—?!”

Instantly, a cold sweat broke out across Judge Kavol’s back, soaking through his robes.

Because in that moment he finally understood: he was the loser, a political sacrifice in this civil strife. As for what the Shepherd Leader of the Order had told him... his face turned pale and cold sweat streamed down, but ultimately, he didn’t have the courage to say it out loud.

Robbie’s face suddenly darkened. He raised his voice and called out, ”Amelia! Knight Commander Aiden! In the name of the Shepherd Leader, take the other two Judges back to the Secret World.

”They... are a little tired.”

Amelia, still reeling from the shock of the illusion, had witnessed this dramatic turn of events as a bystander. Since she was only there to assist the Judgment Court with the arrest, she was stunned for a moment before she finally reacted, ordering the Church Knights beside her to confiscate the other two Judges’ Black Wall Secret Weapons and drag them onto the ship.

Standing on the gangway, she looked silently at Reinhardt, her long black hair dancing in the night wind.

After a long moment, she put her faceplate back on, turned, and boarded the ship.
