Somewhere in the Material Plane of the Cosmos, Unknown Time

Menuhyutt Faulhaber took the Divine Grimoire from his disciple; he teleported out from the Tower as he forced his way into the unknown Middle World across the vast Material Plane of the Cosmos.

The Hall Master of the Hall of Kadath looked at the Middle World with calmness as he waited for something to happen. He didn't choose this Middle World randomly, but he chose it for one precise reason.

This was one of the Middle World controlled directly by the Most Holy Paladin Order of the Silver Crusade of Divine Light which was loosely affiliated with the Avalon Kingdom. Similarly, like the Holy Templar Order used certain worlds as their recruitment grounds, the Most Holy Paladin Order of the Silver Crusade of Divine Light used this concrete world as a recruitment ground.

The entire Middle World was filled with the Holy Powers of the Divine Light belonging to 'Him', but Menuhyutt Faulhaber was strong enough to withstand the side effect of that.

He just sat down on one of the mountain peaks as he sat cross-legged and waited for something to happen.

As he was meditating in the mountains, he suddenly felt energy spikes near his location; it gave off a holy feeling, very reminiscent of that of the Most Holy Paladin Order of the Silver Crusade of Divine Light's high-ranking Paladins.

"So you are finally here..."

Menuhyutt stated neutrally as he looked at the man that appeared several meters away from him. While the Hall Master looked calm and neutral, actually, he was very wary of his opponent.

The Grandmaster of the Most Holy Paladin Order of the Silver Crusade of Divine Light, Johan d'Orleáns, Master of the Light, Grand Paladin and one of the most zealous followers of 'Him'... also a person who was almost guaranteed to become an Angel under 'Him' once he undergoes Transcendence.

Johan d'Orleáns was a middle-aged man with a bit of short dark blonde hair and a full beard that was perfectly trimmed. His eyes shined with light as his heavy armor was radiating the Holy Power on itself.

"Menuhyutt... return the Divine Grimoire; that book belongs to the Faithful of the Lord, not to a heretical blasphemer like you."

The Grandmaster of the Most Holy Paladin Order of the Silver Crusade of Divine Light said with a stern voice, with his eyes never leaving the Hall Master of the Hall of Kadath for a moment.

"What about... no?"

Seconds later, hundreds of spells burst out of nowhere and shot toward Johan d'Orleáns, all of them were 9th Level Spells, with some of them being 10th Level Spells. Menuhyutt Faulhaber was bearer Eternal Class Arcanist of Apocalypse and Lord Sub-Class Arcane Keeper.

For him casting this amount of Spells of such high Levels was nothing.

An enormous shield and sword appeared in the hands of Johan d'Orleáns as he put the shield in front of him and intense light shone from the shield and created a light crystal barrier around him, stopping all of the spells at him.

"Of course, you would survive this... but I have not ended."

Suddenly the entire world shook violently while Menuhyutt finished chanting; several stars appeared high in the air as they all shot flares of their power at the Johan d'Orleáns with full force.

The power was so great that it obliterated everything in its path and one could clearly see that it was seriously damaging the entire Middle World which was feat on itself. Usually speaking, Mortals no matter how powerful would never have the power to do feats only Transcendents could do.

And yet, every few Epochs, one such individual appeared that broke the balance between the boundaries.

Mortal with the power of Transcendent.

"You madman! Do you want to damm this world!"

The Grandmaster of the Most Holy Paladin Order of the Silver Crusade of Divine Light shouted with unprecedented rage and hatred as he stared at the Menuhyutt Faulhaber because this attack would seriously damage the Leylines of the World.

Now that Johan d'Orleáns thought about it, he slowly came to the realization of why the Hall Master of the Hall of Kadath was waiting for him here and not at any other place.

This was the trap from the start.

This was a place where the main Leylines were connected with each other.

If this place was severely damaged, then the Leylines could be crippled or worse, even destroyed permanently.

"So you have realized?"

The mocking voice woke up Johan d'Orleáns from his stupor as Hall Master of the Hall of Kadath looking at him mockingly, awaiting his inevitable death.

"You should be aware that my death won't change anything in the great scheme of things; sooner or later, a new Grandmaster will be chosen by the Lord."

Johan d'Orleáns spoke with strong conviction and faith in his voice, as he was resolved to die today, but he knew that his death wouldn't change anything.

"Indeed, it won't and soon new would be chosen... but you are forgetting something, my old friend... that during those few decades, the combat prowess of your Order would be lessened tremendously and at the same time, even the Avalon Kingdom would be weakened."

To the Transcendents, even the most powerful mortals like Grandmaster Johan d'Orleáns were expendable to a great degree, and they could find someone else to fit the role.

Yes, it would take some time, but in the end, everyone was just a pawn in the great scheme of things.

But the aim of the Hall wasn't to kill the Grandmaster Johan d'Orleáns to achieve victory or something, but rather to temporarily cripple the ability of Most Holy Paladin Order of the Silver Crusade of Divine Light and by extension Avalon Kingdom to participate in highest-end combat among mortals.

For factions like Avalon Kingdom, who had problems cultivating Holy Level Legendaries, not to mention someone as powerful as Johan d'Orleáns, who was Limit Level Holy Legendary on the verge of Transcending would be a tremendous blow.

It would take at least a few decades until a new Grandmaster would be chosen and during that time, the vulnerability of the Avalon Kingdom would be increased several times.

And that was the goal of the Hall.

It wasn't Paladin Order itself by killing the Grandmaster because that was not enough...

It was the Avalon Kingdom by extension.

If the Paladin Order was weakened enough, Avalon Kingdom would lose access to its highest combat power, which would allow other factions to act against them freely.

Even though many of the 13 Gates would hate to admit the fact, but the Most Holy Paladin Order of the Silver Crusade of Divine Light was extremely powerful... while it was very small in terms of numbers, it had quality.
