It was still too early for knights of their level to even think about facing such a foe. That being said, someone had to fight to buy time for others to get away. They can't all just die here.

Silvia and the others were much too exhausted to be able to stop a being on the level of a Demon General. It won't be even a fight; it will be a massacre. In that case, as he thought he had to be the one to do it.

Vangeance stepped forward, ready to sacrifice himself.

"Are you an idiot? You cannot face them alone?" Silvia stood by his side, her body shaking a little but her sword steady.

"H-Haha, it's just as elder sister said. I can't be having you look down on us squires, Senior Vangeance. Even if we are just squires, we are still members of the Temple of Light. Future knights of the realm don't run away from demons."

Saying that, the squires also stepped forward.

"You guys.." Vangeance smiled, they were all such an idiot.

In this moment, at this hour, they all burst forth with determination that allowed them to get out of their paralyzed state. Of course, it was just momentary, and the next instant, as the demon generals released their aura, they were thrown into the pits of despair once again.

Huff… Huff… there were so many debuffs applied that even standing was proving to be difficult. Just as it looked, there was no hope in this dark, endless pit; the light appeared before them.

Like a descent of the divine, the man dropped from the sky in a free fall, bringing along with him a pillar of light.

BANG...

"Future knights of the realm don't run away from demons. Haha, well said, all of you. I'm truly proud of you all."

The man who landed beside them out of nowhere patted their tense shoulders and stood before them. Decked out in that splendid divine armor, his cape billowing behind him and his long golden hair, the man had no equal.

At that very instant, as they laid eyes on the wide shoulders, large back, and reliable silhouette of this man, all of them were relieved of all their worries. At the same moment, joy and excitement from seeing him surged with all of them.

"Commander!!" they all called out joyously.

Who else could the man exuding such divine authority be other than Reinhardt?

"Hmm, that's weird. I was sure that I felt a strong demonic presence from here. It couldn't be from these two Demon Generals, could it?"

He tilted his head as he spoke out his thoughts. He had arrived here feeling the strong demonic presence, only to find his squad members confronting two Demon Generals.

"No, your senses weren't wrong. There was indeed an extremely powerful demon here, probably a Heavenly King. However, he left using some kind of spell before you came."

Silvia reported. There was no trace of fear on her face anymore, or for that matter on anyone. Reinahrdt's presence was like the very ray of hope, strong and inextinguishable. Besides, there was also the divine trait of his.

[Unyielding Presence]- Description: A commanding aura that enforces their divine authority. Effect: Enemies within range are struck by fear or hesitation, while allies gain unwavering courage and confidence. This passive effect intensifies during moments of high tension or combat.

"A Heavenly King, huh?" It couldn't be Skarnyx as he was already engaged in combat with the Dark Knight. So that must mean there was more than one Heavenly King involved in this attack.

No wonder his [Celestial Harmony] was and is still going off like crazy. There must be something that they were not seeing clearly, something that the demons were planning. He needed to quickly find what it was.

Activating [Eyes of Divine Clarity], he traced the destination the Heavenly King teleported to.

"ShiShiShi… You let them alone for a while and they start proliferating like crazy. Humans really are like insects".

"Nah, even insects have their use; humans are worse than even that. Well, they are at least delicious, so I guess they do have some value.. Kekeke."

The Demon Generals cackled. At the same time, they invoked their magic, manifesting numerous large magic circles of high tier magic in an instant.

From their ridiculously swift casting time to the absurd amount of demonic energy they possessed, was enough to make anyone fearful of them. Yes, anyone but the Divine Paladin.

As if finding their cackling a hindrance, Reinhardt made a fist in the air and then brought it down in a dramatic fashion. For those who knew what his gesture meant, they understood what was going to happen the next instant.

And for those who don't, like the demons, they simply cackled more.

"Kekeke… Look at that human trying to act tough. What does he want to accomplish by making a fist towards the sky…" The Demon General could not complete its sentence as its eyes widened in fear the next instant.

The other Demon General noticed the peculiarity of its brethren and also looked up only to be struck with fear in the same way. And then, before they could even move a single muscle of their body, the ginormous pillar of light came crashing down from the sky like heaven's punishment.

"[Radiant Ascension]" Reinhardt slowly muttered under his breath. With him not holding back the strength of his skill, the Demon Generals, along with this entire park, was purified of all evil.

As for the latter, they disintegrated into nothing, leaving not even their ash behind.

One move was all it took from their Commander to finish off the Demon Generals that had previously made them feel completely hopeless. The squad looked on in daze at the pillar of light, they were bathed in.

This much holy energy, it was ridiculous to think that it came from a single human body. Not only was it extremely dense to the point of actually having substance, but there was so much holy nergy that it could easily fill a medium sized lake.
