Way of the Knights

---

'Getting the 'Chains of Order' to descend shouldn't be too difficult for me. It's the 'Sacred Heavenly Doctrine' that I should look out for.' Raven murmured inwardly.

'The Heavenly Laws won't mind the Chain's of Order but the same can't be said for the Heavenly Sacred Doctrine. Ah, I hope it wouldn't be too unreasonable.' He thought while having a despondent expression. 

The people behind him can't see his face which was fortunate since if they did, they'd probably doubt their decisions. 

What Raven's about to do is definitely dangerous and challenging even for him. Raven had little to no prior experience with playing with the Heavenly Laws before, the most he did was to observe it and try to uncover its secrets - even that was a scary experience. Still, that was a bit milder compared to what he's about to do. 

If before he was just observing from afar, this time Raven would really interfere. One wrong move and Raven might be exiled from the Divine Realm or worse, die. 

The Heavenly Laws of the Divine Real, is literally why the Divine Realm still exists up to this day. Without it, there will be no Divine Realm at all, less to say about its citizens. 

As the lifeline of the Divine Realm, it upholds the balance and order. One could even say that it is the overseer of all life in the Divine Realm. Such an important entity of course holds incredible power. Even if Raven had the guts to play with it, that doesn't mean that he's confident about his chances of getting out unscathed, even with his Master's protection. 

The Chains of Order are the tools that allow the Heavenly Laws to keep the power balance in the Divine Realm. Anything that is deemed as a variable will eventually have to face the Chains of Order. The chains will imprison them and suppress them to the point where they won't be able to upset the balance. 

Getting the Chains of Balance to descend is simple to Raven. He wouldn't even break sweat doing it. And even though it is a tool that the Heavenly Laws used, Raven's not scared to mess with it since, just like what he said, he's going to use against foreign abominations anyway. Who knows, maybe he won't even need to coax or force the Chains of Order to do his bidding, they might even do it themselves. 

The problem is the Sacred Heavenly Doctrine...

Raven shook his head to ignore the troublesome distractions on his mind. He then summoned the Brush of Wisdom and began drawing runes. 

Raven put on his outmost effort to draw the rune as neatly and as accurate as he could. Once he was done, the Rune blazed with a golden brilliance which caught the attention of the people behind him. 

As soon as the rune was born, the skies rumbled fiercely. The clouds roiled and from the empty space, several humongous chains descended from the sky. Each was filled with diagrams and mysteries pertaining to the Heavenly Laws itself. A boundless and timeless aura suffused from the chains as they trashed around the boundless fields of Red Spider Lilies. 

Raven evaded the chains as best as he could while the Sect Master, his wife and Elder Fallon remained standing as this had nothing to do with them. 

As he was evading the chains, the seals imprisoning the Four Horsemen suddenly trembled. It began releasing a thick and nauseating stench of death and decay. An ominous aura leaked out of the chains, forming a silhouette of an enormous skull that seems to be roaring at the Chains of Order itself. 

"Great. And here I thought I had to coax this chains to attack but it seems that it's no longer needed. Don't go blaming me now, you guys provoked it." Raven snorted. 

And just like what he was expecting, as soon as the skull emerged, the Chains of Order shook and immediately slithered towards the seal. The chains released an archaic aura which neutralized the aura of the skull and destroyed it in one go. 

Then, the chains sensed the seals. When that happened, the chains shrunk in size, appearing like a set of rusted chains. It then began coiling around the seals, linking each one together. 

Once the four seals were linked, the chains released a powerful hum which was filled with timeless profundities. Everyone saw how the seals began repairing itself at a speed visible to the naked eye. It didn't stop a full recovery either. It was fortified thanks to the power of the Chains of Order. 

Now, even Empyreans could only dream about breaking this seal...

"Great..." Raven murmured, "That's half of the work done. Now, onto the really troublesome part." 

Raven could feel the thrashing of the Horsemen inside the seal. If this happened earlier, then he would've been worried but now that the deed was done, these things can only dream about escaping the seal. No matter what they, they won't be breaking this seal at all. 

*OooooOoooooOoo*

A loud and archaic roar sounded from beneath them. Everyone was alarmed as they saw he ground underneath them shaking. 

"The commotion woke up the slumbering entities here." Sect Master Lucas said, he looked at Raven and said: "Rest assured, 9th. We will handle this. Just do what you have to do." 

"Thank you, Sect Master." Raven nodded. Since the Sect Master already gave out his order, Raven decided to not pay attention to then commotion around him and instead, he started psyching himself up. 

'I can do this!' Raven muttered inwardly while reviewing the plan he had in mind. Once he's comfortable enough, he then lifted the Brush of Wisdom and began drawing several texts that are written in Ancient Era language. 

If the Chains of Order is considered as the tool of the Heavenly Laws to uphold balance and order on the Divine Realm, then the Heavenly Sacred Doctrine is the power to annihilate the very source of imbalance itself. 

The Heavenly Sacred Doctrine can be also called as a 'Bane' for its power directly opposes/contradicts the power of the source of Imbalance in order to neutralize them. Once the Heavenly Sacred Doctrine descended, it's power will never waver until the source of the imbalance itself cease to exist. 

This power is an irresistible force. Unlike when the Heavenly Laws sends a Tribulation to test someone's fate and destiny, when it sends the Heavenly Sacred Doctrine, it means that the Heavenly Laws itself wants the target eradicated through and through. 

This kind of power can only be wielded by the Heavenly Laws itself, not even Divinity Realm powerhouse could replicate this kind of power. 

...yet now, a little Saint Knight toddler is trying to summon it in order to do his bidding. If not mad, then people would most likely call him insane. 

The ritual to invoke the Heavenly Sacred Doctrine to descend will take time and would drain most of Raven's energy. Right now, as he was whole-heartedly focused on his task, he couldn't pay attention to the battle that's happening behind him. 

The Sect Master, Alwina and Elder Fallon was currently issuing a large massacre. The slumbering abominations that were rising up from the field of Red Spider Lilies were strong but faced against them, they stood no chance. In fact, any of these three could eradicate them all.

As time went by, Raven eventually entered the final stages of his task. It was then an unexpected development occurred. 

"Not good! Husband, quick! Cast your strongest barrier to the kid!" Alwina practically screamed at the Sect Master. 

"What are yo-" The Sect Master didn't get to finish speaking when he saw the blossoming radiance on Alwina's eyes. 

Hesitating no longer, he summoned a large barrier that protected Raven. He didn't have the time to ask questions and because Alwina was currently at this state, there was no need to. 

Once her eyes released that kind of gleam, it is a sign that the power of Fates are active and she's seeing the inevitable future. 

Alwina was glaring at the skies above them. She was releasing an extremely fierce and powerful aura. If Raven was paying attention, he'd definitely gasp in surprise since he'll discover that Alwina was not just simple housewife. 

She was a genuine Divinity Realm powerhouse. 

"What's going on!?" The Sect Master was alarmed, this was definitely one of the rarer times when she saw his wife releasing her powers wantonly like before. 

"There's no time to explain. Hurry up and undo your seal! If you don't, then we will all die here!" Alwina exclaimed. Her face was ridden with urgency and panic. 

The Sect Master nodded and decided to trust his wife's words. He undid his seal and from a seven foot tall man, his size immediately increased, becoming a 1000 meter tall giant. 

"It's coming!!!" As soon as Alwina screamed, the heavens suddenly rumbled. 

The dark clouds parted and revealed an ominous portal which was dripping with black goo. A strong and boundless aura of pure evil abruptly descended, sending shivers to their spine. All of a sudden, something came out of the portal. At first it was blurry but it didn't take long before the image solidified.

...it was a finger.
