The Adventures of an Overpowered Knight in Another World

Chapter 762: Titles Vs Titles, Horn of Calamity Stopped? (6)

He had fought Astaroth once before. But that had only been an avatar. An incarnation possessing only a fraction of the true Heavenly King’s power.

Even that avatar was extremely powerful. But now…

Vaerion stared at Astaroth. The real body had appeared, and the gap was enormous.

Back at the center of the demonic camp, feeling pleased with himself, Astaroth declared.

“Do you understand now? Before me, even heroes are nothing but mortals. Remember this name, human. For today… you stand before the one who will personally end your legend.”

Yet even after all that great speech and aura farming, Reinhardt remained unaffected. Even unseemly digging his ears with his pinky finger.

“Are you done? Now then, it’s my turn.”

With a cheeky smile, he activated his titles.

[Divine Paladin exerts his titles].

[Executioner of the Lord of Divine Wrath]:

Description – The blade of Dioanax, the enforcer of holy judgment upon all evil.

Effects –

[Wrath Incarnate] (Passive): Reinhardt emits divine wrath in a wide area around him. All attacks deal +200% true damage to enemies afflicted by sin, corruption, or demonic energy. Damage ignores armor, resistances, and regeneration effects.

[Heavenly Reckoning] (On Kill Effect): Upon slaying an enemy, Reinhardt and those around him gain [Divine Burst], boosting their next attack’s damage by 30%.

[Wielder of the First Light]:

Description – The first and purest light of creation.

Effects –

[Sovereign’s Presence] (AoE Debuff): All enemies within ten miles of Reinhardt suffer from [Terror], reducing their attack power and movement speed by -40% and causing a 20% chance to flinch upon engaging Reinhardt.

[Divine Recompense] (Aura Buff): All allies gain +50% attack speed, +35% resilience, and +25% mana regeneration when within a two-mile radius of Reinhardt. Holy attribute abilities gain +100% effectiveness.

[Arbiter of the Heavens]:

Description – To stand before the Arbiter is to stand before divine judgment itself.

Effects –

[Authority Absolute] (Passive): Enemies within ten miles of Reinhardt suffer from [Divine Judgment], reducing their evasion, critical hit rate, and attack power by -30%.

[Celestial Dominion] (AoE Buff/Debuff): Creates a vast holy domain where allied stats increase by +25%, and all enemies suffer a -20% debuff to movement speed, attack power, and magical resistance.

One by one, the effects of titles exerted their power.

The air trembled. A vast holy authority spread outward.

Every demon within its range suddenly felt as though something was watching them from above. Their sins, corruption, demonic energy… all of it seemed to be purified.

Not only that, under this divine pressure, demons began trembling. Some couldn’t even bring themselves to look directly at Reinhardt and wanted to run away from this suffocating pressure.

At the same time, the knights felt a surge of strength. Their attacks became faster. Their bodies became tougher. Their Holy Energy flowed more efficiently.

Of course, this was not all. More and more Titles exerted their force.

[Bearer of the Celestial Vanguard]:

Effect – +80% defense against dark and infernal magic. Allies near Reinhardt gain a temporary holy shield when their HP drops below a certain threshold. Can only activate once.

[Edict of the Gods] – …

With Reinhardt and Astaroth each exerting their titles, the two opposing authorities collided.

Crimson darkness. Golden radiance.

The battlefield became divided between them.

But…

The difference was obvious.

Astaroth’s titles felt like an oppressive kingdom. Reinhardt’s titles felt like the laws of the heavens themselves.

The moment Reinhardt’s titles fully manifested, Astaroth’s authority collapsed.

Like a sandcastle meeting a high tide.

There was no struggle. No clash between equal powers.

His crimson demonic domain was extinguished as effortlessly as a candle flame being swallowed by a hurricane.

The darkness that had covered the battlefield vanished beneath golden radiance.

Seeing this, Astaroth’s eyes widened.

“W-What?”

His voice was barely audible.

The titles he had released with such confidence were gone completely.

It was not just him; the demons behind him felt it too. Their lord’s authority had been crushed.

And now… Reinhardt’s presence covered everything.

Astaroth stared at the Divine Paladin as though he were looking at something that should not exist.

“How… How can this be?”

His voice trembled.
