"Kuh, dammit. What kind of ridiculous strength does that knight possess?"

The cracks on Malcorth's mask swiftly healed, and so did the damage he had just received. A Heavenly King was different than a Demon General; they had reached the pinnacle of demon powers, and their regeneration was at a level that could shock the world.

Naturally, they couldn't be taken down with just one punch. Of course, that is if the opponent were any other knight. However, in front of the Divine Paladin, even the Heavenly Kings were like children playing house.

BANG… A muffled explosion of divine energy rang out, followed by Malcroth's skeletal mask blowing apart.

"Aaaarghhh!!" His grating scream, piercing the air, rang around the area.

"W-What's going on?" He questioned not expecting an answer.

"That was the first technique of my unarmed martial art [Godhand Ascendance]. Basically, I projected my divine energy into you, destroying you from the inside out. I know your kind possesses a ridiculous level of regeneration. However, in front of my technique, it is useless."

Reinhardt reluctantly explained, arriving before the Heavenly King with [Aetherial Stride]. Just like he said, regeneration was unable to heal Malcroth's mask anymore.

"That said, I didn't know you were so ugly?"

With the mask gone, the Heavenly King's face was finally revealed. A face with no skin and thousands of tissues like tapeworms squirming. It looked very disturbing.

"You bastard!!" Malcroth screamed out in anger, a super large magic circle was activated, and in the blink of an eye, a thirty feet large wave of plague appeared out of nowhere to engulf the Divine Paladin.

However, just as the wave was about to engulf him, the latter arched his hands backward and punched forth with such intensity that the pressurized air formed a sphere around his fist.

BOOM… The sphere that left his fist was surprisingly extremely slow. Though when it collided with the wave, all that pressurized air was released at once, creating a shockwave so powerful that it blew apart the wave at such terrifying speed that it was difficult to believe.

The sphere was not just any sphere but a bomb of pressurized air, compressed to the maximum.

And just like that, Malcroth's super powerful magic was dealt with, seemingly effortlessly.

"What?! How?" The absurd scene confused the heavenly king so much so that he was starting to doubt if it was reality or some kind of skill that was showing him illusions.

The scene that happened, that technique; no, it was not even a technique. It was just a simple punch, released with such great speed and power that it practically manifested an inexplicable phenomenon.

"Silence mongrel!"

[Voice of Providence] activated, Reinhardt silenced the demon whose very presence was fouling his mood. The only reason he hadn't killed the latter outright was because he still had some questions.

"Tell me, who all are associated in this attack? What else are you scheming? It shouldn't be just you acting in the shadows, right? There should be more".

The [Celestial Harmony] was still going crazy, meaning that there was still something he was missing. Malcroth's appearance was not everything the demons had planned for today.

[Voice of Providence] Description: The paladin's voice resonates with divine authority, compelling obedience and awe. Use: Causes enemies to drop their weapons and submit to divine will. Allies are filled with unshakable resolve and gain increased strength, speed, and stamina.

The skill was powerful; however, making a Heavenly King obedient was probably asking too much from it. As could be seen, the latter struggled and broke out of the effects of his voice.

"I don't know what you are speaking of, but don't think that you have me cornered. I admit that you are a strong human; however, I am Malcroth, the Eleventh heavenly King…"

"Ah, I see, you can die then. No matter how many of you are there, what you are planning, I will find all of you and kill you."

Reinahrdt's voice was impassive and final. With that, he stopped holding back and executed the fifth technique of the [Godhand Ascendance]- [Holy Dragon Fist].

At that very instant, his fist turned the color of a brilliant gold from the absurd amount of divine energy channeled into it. The attack wasn't even unleashed, yet the air started to tremble, the ground ran with earthquakes, and even the fabric of space got distorted.

All of this was just from the radiation released from the Golden Fist. So what would happen if it was released?

Malcroth sure as hell didn't want to remain behind to find out. Immediately, he started weaving his magic at a speed that was new for even him. The space in front of him fluctuated, and a teleportation swirl manifested.

The Heavenly King was planning to tuck his tail and run away. Something that was unthinkable for the latter before today.

That said, it was all too late. The fist was swung, and a dragon roared.

ROOOAAAARRRR…

Unleashed from his fist at that moment was not the same punch as before, but a golden dragon filled to the brim with such destructive holy energy that it actually shattered through the fabric of space and arrived before the Heavenly King in an instant.

At the last hour, Malcroth saw the golden dragon snap its mouth and devour him. That was the end for the Lord of Plagues, whose name caused the human kingdoms to tremble in fear.

Being devoured by Reinhardt's [Golden Dragon Fist] that he unleashed without holding back, the demon, no matter how high ranking it was, practically disintegrated at that moment.

That said, the power of the dragon did not dissipate a bit and continued heading skyward, where it collided against the artificial domain created by the Twelfth Heavenly King who was using the artificial Dragon Heart to fight with the Dark Knight.

BANG… at that very instant, the boundary of the domain collapsed, and the dragon charged in.

Skarnyx, who was locked in a losing fight even after using the powers of the dragon heart and continuously retreating just to keep its life intact, suddenly felt the domain trembling.
