I Aggressively Stack Steel of the Heart in the Knight Order

Chapter 186: Chapter 151: Vicious Intent! The Power of the Frost Fist

The rain didn’t stop, and the wind wouldn’t let up.

After a brief standoff, the battle was about to erupt!

’Seventy-Six, first on the left.’

The moment Reinhardt issued a kill order via Telepathy to Seventy-Six, who was several kilometers away, the superheated energy stream from his Aikacia Nozzle propelled him forward, and he vanished on the spot.

At that exact moment.

The Four-star Earth Knight Logan, who had been deliberately taunting him, felt his eyes twitch. In that fleeting instant, his gaze locked onto Reinhardt, perfectly tracking his high-speed movement!

Logan grinned, his expression filled with the smug satisfaction of a successful scheme.

When the blazing Divine Emperor’s Fury swung mercilessly toward his face, Logan raised his sword to block Reinhardt’s signature opening gambit.

Then, their gazes clashed.

The crimson glow of the Divine Emperor’s Flame flickered restlessly across their full-coverage helmets.

"I’ve studied your combat records for a long time, Angel."

The moment Logan finished speaking, his Knight Power, corrupted by Void Power, manifested as two illusory, spine-covered tentacles that silently coiled around Reinhardt’s body.

Under attack, the Power Armor’s Anti-Magic Force Field materialized as a pale blue energy shield of interlocking hexagons, furiously resisting the illusory tentacles. The Energy Device in the Power Backpack emitted a terrifying roar as it surged to full capacity!

"Fortress Level Power Armor? Hmph, the Grand Governor of the Imperial Administrative Region really spared no expense on you."

Logan’s voice deepened. He decisively abandoned his long-planned surprise attack and began a swift retreat.

He had come to Kemola not only to help that Wizard get the Ancient Black Box, but also to kill Reinhardt. To that end, he had spent a considerable amount of time studying Reinhardt’s fighting style and some of its finer details.

A powerful opening assault, without a single word exchanged.

Exactly as he’d predicted.

He had originally planned to use his tentacles, smeared with Demon Poison, to corrupt Reinhardt’s Extraordinary Armament—which he suspected was made of living material—but the Fortress Level Anti-Magic Steel Armor had thwarted his insidious plan.

However, if he thought he could retreat, he hadn’t asked for Reinhardt’s permission.

Activating Extraordinary Arsenal.

Switching to Frost Fist mode.

A Knight’s mind works incredibly fast in battle; Logan only had time to take a single step back!

With a single thought from Reinhardt, the Knight Power of an Earth Military Rank converged on his right hand, stacking like layers of metal plates. In an instant, an azure gauntlet materialized over his fist. It was bone-chillingly cold and emitted a frigid pulse that seemed powerful enough to freeze time itself.

Simultaneously, a thin, icy force field capable of resisting physical impact coated the surface of his Anti-Magic Power Armor.

This was the first time he had truly called upon his Extraordinary Arsenal.

Logan had shown enough strength and combat intelligence to be worthy of facing his second Extraordinary Armament.

As the icy, ripple-like pulse radiated outward in all directions at the speed of light, Logan, caught within the Deceleration Force Field, was horrified to find his body felt as if it had been plunged into a viscous liquid.

The legs he tried to move for a retreat felt as if they were filled with lead, and he could barely lift them.

The sensation of restricted movement came and went in a flash, but for a truly powerful Knight, that slowdown of less than half a second was more than enough.

Reinhardt released the Divine Emperor’s Fury from his right hand. As its flames died down, the Radiant Holy Artifact, as if possessing a will of its own, flew to his back.

Simultaneously, the superheated energy stream from the Aikacia Nozzle propelled Reinhardt forward, carrying him before Logan in an instant.

As the iron fist, sheathed in the Frost Fist, magnified in the reflection of Logan’s eyes, he only had time to curse silently and activate his Extraordinary Armament to protect his face.

BANG—!

Reinhardt’s fist slammed into Logan’s full-coverage helmet like a Power Hammer from a steel mill. The faceplate visibly caved inward, and a shockwave of destructive force erupted as a concussive blast behind Logan’s head!

Then, the Four-star Earth Knight flew backward like a runaway high-speed train, crashing, tumbling, and pulverizing every tree and patch of jungle in his path.

He was sent flying a full hundred meters through the dense forests of Kemola!

Trees collapsed in his wake, sending rain and mud flying into the air!

And all of this happened in the span of just two seconds of combat.

Before Reinhardt could even steady himself from the momentum, Raphael’s voice echoed through their shared telepathic link.

’Reinhardt—! By the Divine Emperor... you were too reckless! The tentacles that traitor used in his sneak attack were coated in a Demon Poison specifically made to corrode living matter!’

’If your Extraordinary Armament gets contaminated, the process is irreversible!’

Immediately after.

A high-speed bullet—modified with Alchemy Technology and specially designed to target Transcendents—silently arrived on the battlefield. It precisely struck the Official Knight to Reinhardt’s left, who was attempting to attack the Vengeance Angel Squad.

In that instant, the bullet from the Assassin Court was a silent testament to its terrifying lethality!

It easily tore through the shoulder plate, then the muscle and bone of the arm. The special warhead, enhanced by Alchemy Technology, ignored the resistance of both the Anti-Magic Force Field and Knight Power, instantly piercing the Knight’s heart and lungs and erupting in a massive cloud of blood mist!

Meanwhile, Matthias and Manon worked together to neutralize the last enemy.

From start to finish, the Vengeance Angel Squad’s teamwork was flawless and perfectly synchronized.

The only thing that surprised Reinhardt was that Logan, despite being so heavily corrupted by Void Power, was completely unaffected by the flames of the Divine Emperor’s Fury.

Even Stein, who had completed the Demon Ascension Ceremony to become a Demon Prince, had been extremely wary of the Divine Emperor’s Fury’s flames...

’The Void Realm Four Gods, Wizards, Knights, the Space Dragon Race... this world is vast, having created an immense Extraordinary System. Every path to the pinnacle has its own unique strengths.’

Reinhardt stared in the direction Logan had been sent flying.

’That traitor, infused with Void Power, must have either mastered some special power or possessed a Void Divine Artifact no less powerful than the Divine Emperor’s Fury.’

White lightning from his Mental Power crackled in Raphael’s eyes. As if sensing something, he abruptly looked up at the thick clouds high above and sent via Telepathy, ’Two out-of-control Space Dragon Race ships are falling toward us, followed by a Demon Legion ship... No, that’s not a ship...’

When his Mental Power identified the Demon hurtling toward them, Raphael’s expression changed drastically!

’Damn it... It’s a Void Governor and its demonic minions! Seventy-Six, can you take it out?’

’Of course...’

Over the telepathic link, Seventy-Six’s voice cut out abruptly.

Raphael frowned. ’Seventy-Six, answer me! What’s happening on your end?’

’Something’s watching me.’

Those were Seventy-Six’s last words before the Mind Mark was severed.

Just as the out-of-control Space Dragon Race ships and the army of Mages broke through the clouds and began to plummet toward them, an extremely faint Knightly Aura suddenly flared from the forest where Logan had landed.

By the time Manon sensed the aura right in front of him, his vision could only catch a massive blur. His body’s combat instincts took over, trying to dodge and block, but it was too late.
