Chapter 716: Justice Is Not Merciful
Pov Prince Gordon:
One of his sisters rebelled against the trade, becoming a leader of the Palace's research sector, she is the one who lives by the same demands for the Palace as the others, but in accordance with the King's orders not to hunt no one who keeps his head under the shadows of this city.
When she found out for something being smuggled off the mainland, I needed to act so the cargo wouldn't be intercepted, but it left a trail I know even a few days back to me sooner or later.
My only option is to accelerate my plans, I have to get out of here before they get to me.
I have I use an idiot that I tricked to buy slaves, from killing that idiot and keeping the slaves, I made sure it gets locked inside the secret passage of the Palace, I use these slaves to excavate the Flow Coral with the special excavation items that that man gave it to me.
Now I was going through this passage and found the slaves full of wounds, they were still digging when they arrived, the Metal Flow Coral was made of some kind of coral with colored transparent metal spheres all over its surface, I used tools special tools to excavate in the beginning, I didn't just make special tools to pull out parts of this Flow Coral with great effort.
This Flow Coral is at the bottom of the Ocean, but strangely it has a barrier around it that doesn't let water in while maintaining a garden environment inside, it was a magnificent place at first, but over time it all died, the Coral glow of small stream comes few and the barrier around to.
Flow Coral was a cluster of colorful metallic corals the size of a 6-story building or at least it was in the beginning.
As their slaves died, now digging into Flux Coral, they grew weak and sick, their bodies and they died half deformed and they died from them until they died, now no loose ends, no loose ends.
The Palace's secret passage leads to a room where a teleportation magic circle leads straight to this place, I don't know why this is here and I don't care.
As soon as we can see the amount of Flux Coral we have one thing I learned that it was not possible to have Flux Coral on storage items, but it was possible to check on items with space spells that make the inside of Greater than the outside are cheaper items so was surprised it worked.
I keep everything the slaves collected, I wave to Jennifer along with the slaves, there were more than 20 of them, and they were all in terrible condition, I think I'm doing them a favor by killing them all.
"< Stone Spear > 10" (I)
"< Stone Spear > 10" (I)
"Please... ahhh!"
"No!!!!"
"You bastard..."
"..." (I)
"Young Master..." (Jennifer)
"I'm fine, Jennifer." (I)
Jennifer hugs me from behind, she knows me well enough to know that I'm not okay, I'm not a murderous monster, that I did something horrible killing all these people this way, but I couldn't let these slaves live, but I couldn't let these slaves alive, but it can't be my secret.
I was using a potion to melt the bodies when I noticed something strange, the air was becoming wetter and I felt something wrong with the surroundings, I couldn't understand what until I saw the faint light that was left in the Flux Coral blink a few times before go off.
I barely had time to run when I noticed the surrounding barrier cracking and the ocean water starting to pour in.
Luckily I had time to pull Jennifer away in the magic teleportation circle back to the castle.
"What was this?" (I)
"I think it was the worst possible situation, Young Master." (Jennifer)
"..." (I)
The magic circle we were in has cracked, that means the pure tip of the magic circle has been destroyed.
Before I think about what happened, the floor starts to shake and I run outside this secret room, when I get outside, I go straight to a window to see the reason for the shaking.
Looking at the sky I see a storm form out of nowhere, it is simply expanding as lightning started to fall into the ocean and soon began to hit the delivery as it got closer to the city.
"A disaster I caused..." (I)
I knew I was doing something risky, I might not have all the information, but I wasn't a complete idiot, this happening along with the destruction of what was left of the Flow Coral was enough to know the reason for the change in weather.
----------
Pov Allan (Hero of the God of Justice):
I run with my team towards the Palace, the destruction falling under the city now means the worst case scenario has happened.
"Calm down, Allan." (Bianca)
"How can I calm down, all this is happening..." (Allan)
"If you're going to speak up for us, I'm going to punch you." (Darcia)
"..." (I)
"Not being able to stop it doesn't make us responsible for what's happening." (Bianca)
"But I'm a Hero, I was supposed to be responsible for protecting people." (I)
"This is not a children's story about Heroes, we cannot protect everyone and it would be foolish to try to do something impossible." (Bianca)
"We just discovered the target a little while ago and we couldn't break into the Palace to get him without evidence or we'd have to fight the entire Vartry Kingdom." (Bianca)
"I'm glad you want to help everyone, but you're not responsible when other people hurt someone close to you, so don't be a naive idiot." (Darcia)
"..." (I)
I understood what they meant, in my head I did, but in my heart, I still feel responsible, we know that one of the Princes was responsible, Prince Gordon Vartry, the 8th Prince of this Kingdom.
The Temple of Justice heard of a shipment of Flux Coral arriving at a certain port before disappearing, after interrogating one of the ship's crew we found that it came from that Realm, but the man knew nothing else.
"Are you ready to judge Gordon Vartry?" (I)
"I'm not sure if it will work, but chances are good." (Bianca)
"I hope you're right, that's the only way to save this place." (I)
