Damn, I recarneted As A Judge in Fantasy World

Chapter 119: The Guardian Deity [1]

"Is this worth doing?"

Delia's accuracy was poor. It felt like he was shooting without looking at his target, perhaps still reeling from the shock of the devastating punishment. If so, now was the opportunity.

"I have to hit him one more time before he comes to his senses."

After all, it was burdensome to fight with weakened defenses.

The answer was always quick and easy. He gradually closed the distance while avoiding the water cannon blasts. But as he got closer, he couldn't find any angle to break through because the opponent was firing so wildly.

"It won't work. Let's just hit it here."

Catastrophic retribution was basically a melee attack, but it could still exert a strong influence from a distance due to its wide attack range.

Phew! Here we go!

"Cha-ha-ha!"

Able shouted while dodging a water cannon flying straight at him. A sharp energy stretched forward and struck Delia's face.

Thump!

-Kuaaaah!

The opponent's scream echoed with a loud noise. At the same time, the countless streams of water suddenly stopped pouring.

"Yes!"

Able ran quickly, shouting for joy, determined to finish Delia off this time. But just as he got within striking distance, Delia spoke.

"How dare this lowly wretch!"

Pfft!

A beam of blue light burst from Delia's body. An explosion echoed, despite the absence of explosives.

"Huh, huh?"

There was no need to understand because Able body floating in the air told him everything.

"I'm flying!"

"Oh, shit!"

Caught up in that unknown explosive force, it was such a waste to lose this opportunity.

If Delia recovered, the battle would become increasingly difficult. He kept swinging the gavel until the very end, even though he was pushed back by an enormous force.

Able tried to attack until the very last moment.

?Activation of Destructive Retribution?

Suhua-!

All the strength was leaving Able body. It seemed that using catastrophic retribution was no longer possible. Still, the blue flash he shot hit Delia squarely on the temple.

"Oh! He's going over there."

The enemy's form collapsed along with Shuguri's scream. It seemed like the last bastion had really fallen. Soon, the force that had been pushing him away suddenly weakened.

Knock!

Able landed on the ground and picked up the fishing net that was rolling around. It was torn to shreds by the fierce storm but still seemed usable. Not for its original purpose, but for binding.

"Okay, shall we begin?"

"What?"

"I told you before. Arrest the criminal in question."

"What is that?"

"I am the governor and the supreme judge, not a police officer. I will arrest him and hand him over."

"You're going to judge everything anyway, so isn't it all the same?"

"Oh my! There has to be a procedure for everything in the world. That way, there will be fewer mistakes and fewer people who get wronged."

Able tied Delia's arms tightly.

Come to think of it, didn't this guy shoot a water cannon from his mouth?

He made sure to block that safely too.

Finally, Able felt a little relieved after securing the net over Delia's mouth.

In this way, they managed to eliminate the culprit that had been tormenting Deliat every year. Perhaps from now on, when the rainy season comes, half the city wouldn't be submerged.

"Wait a minute, didn't you say this guy name was Delia?"

-He himself revealed that.

"But the place I rule is Deliat?"

-It's similar.

"It doesn't feel like we've defeated the disaster. This guy was talking about a guardian angel earlier."

- Hey, no way. How arrogant must those demigods be to accept such a position?

Shuguri shrugged his shoulders.

These half-assed transcendent beings were just a product of chance.

Some of the lost powers of gods and demons have simply leaked into the natural world.

It was definitely not some lofty intention or anything like that.

As far as Able know, that's what happened.

"Huh? What is this being's name?"

Kuro Allegan, who was temporarily serving as the butler, asked with a mysterious expression.

Able answered nonchalantly.

"It was Delia."

"Delia?"

"yes."

"Oh! This is it!"

"Why? What's the problem?"

"That well you see… ."

The story that came out of Kuro Allegan's mouth was quite surprising.

The origin of the city-state called Deliat.

The one who created a space in the desert where people could live was Delia.

So I…

"Did I really beat up the guardian deity?"

-If you just look at the results, it's exactly like that.

"No, then why is he causing trouble?"

If he's a guardian deity, shouldn't he be protecting the city?

Able won't be acting up like he did today.

After thinking it over carefully, Shuguri came up with a pretty good idea.

-You can just ask him.

"Oh, I see."

Since Delia was in custody anyway, there was plenty of room for questions and answers.

Able immediately shook the unconscious guy awake.

"Hey, wake up."

-Hmm? Hmm?

Perhaps because he was a demigod and had a strong body, he appeared to be quite unharmed even after being hit by three devastating punishments.

Immediately afterwards, Able quickly asked a question.

It's true that true feelings come out when you're half-asleep.

"Hey, Delia. Why on earth would you do something like that?"

Then, a fierce response poured out immediately.

-You guys didn't perform the ritual!

"Ah?"

The sudden answer left everyone stunned. The phrase carried such weight that it was hard to comprehend at first. The guardian deity, Delia, had mentioned something that felt out of place given the current situation.

-You guys didn't perform the ritual!

Delia repeated, eyes blazing with resentment.

The context of the statement was baffling. A ritual? No one had mentioned any such thing before. Was this really the reason why the guardian of Deliat had been tormenting the city instead of protecting it?

"Wait, what ritual are you talking about?"

Kuro Allegan, who had been silently observing until now, stepped forward, his face displaying a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

Delia, still restrained by the fishing net, spat out her words with a sense of betrayal.

-The ritual to honor the protector, to recognize the guardian! For decades, you people have forgotten. You stopped honoring me, stopped paying respects, and now you wonder why I bring storms?

The room fell silent. It was as if the revelation had punched through the tension, bringing with it a flood of guilt and disbelief.
