The Werewolf Leader frowned as he looked toward the girl conversing with the Judgent Knight.
Although he had no idea what the other party was thinking, when he considered the respect Lord Sebastian showed the girl on a regular basis and her confident deanor, it strangely gave rise to a peculiar notion in his mind...
Perhaps she really had a way.
This thought was so astonishing that even Luf found it unbelievable.
As the second in command of the Rose Association, this was the first ti he had encountered Charlotte of the Castel family; prior to this, he had even harbored so vague dissatisfaction towards her.
However, at this mont, as he looked at the girl in the night, he couldn’t understand why he felt an inexplicable conviction in her words...
It was as if it were so kind of instinct.
The Werewolf Luf felt unsure and confused in his heart.
On the other side, Second Tier Judgent Knight Rajiv’s brows gradually knitted together.
This was a situation he had not anticipated.
He had thought the girl was rely causing a scene, but to his surprise, she actually held evidence in her hands.
However...
"Miss Charlotte, this is rely your side of the story. The information on paper may be detailed, but its authenticity hasn’t been verified. It wouldn’t be impossible to stall for ti to fabricate evidence. On the other hand... the Judgent Court has already conducted an investigation into the cris of the Rose Association."
Rajiv spoke with a heavy voice.
Upon hearing the Judgent Knight’s words, Charlotte smiled faintly.
After a long detour... she finally ca to the topic she wanted.
In fact, pretense followed by earnestness was precisely the tactic she had prepared. Her goal was to continuously shift everyone’s attention, letting them overlook the various loopholes within her tactics, and eventually focus on discerning the truth of the judgent evidence...
"You are correct."
"We do indeed have the suspicion of delaying to fabricate evidence."
"But in the sa vein... how can you be certain the accusations in your hands are not the result of ticulous planning and forgery?"
The girl spoke indifferently.
Her words stunned Rajiv.
His gaze swept over the Demon Hunting Knights and finally landed on the leading girl, his expression turning cold:
"Miss Charlotte, are you questioning the capability of the Judgent Court?"
"No... I am rely concerned that perhaps the distinguished knights of the Judgent Court have been deceived. If I’m not mistaken, this accusation was made anonymously, right?"
"This Holy Judgnt is filled with uncertainties, and I’m only worried... that the great Holy Light has misjudged Its devout believers."
The girl shook her head.
"Insolence! Are you questioning the brilliance of our Lord?"
Hearing the girl’s words, the other Second Tier Knights beside Rajiv were imdiately enraged.
Rajiv’s complexion grew even more unsightly.
He signaled the other Judgent Knights to stay calm, deeply examined Charlotte for a mont, and after hesitating briefly, he suddenly let out a cold laugh:
"How about this?"
"Since Miss Charlotte is so confident, so distrustful of our Judgent Court, let’s leave everything to the Holy Light Judgnt."
"Evidence can be mistaken, but the Holy Light does not lie. I’ve never heard of Sub-humans altering their faith. What the truth is... let the Holy Light Judgnt be the witness."
Upon hearing Rajiv’s words, the girl raised her right hand and made a standard Ring Cross over her chest, devoutly saying:
"Praise the Holy! Nothing could be better. I believe... the great Divine Lord will witness the purity of the Rose Association, the just Holy Light... will witness the devotion of the Rose Association!"
Observing the girl’s fervent deanor, Rajiv frowned slightly, sowhat puzzled whether she was truly naive or rely feigning naivety.
"Holy Light Judgnt?!"
The Demon Hunting Knights were also taken aback, beholding the girl with strange looks.
Indeed, the Holy Light does not lie.
But at the sa ti, the Holy Light is much more severe.
Especially the Holy Light Judgnt.
The Holy Light Judgnt is a Holy Divine Skill that tests the faith of the judged, originally created by Saint Benedict III of the Holy Royal Court.
Under the Holy Light, those with firm belief remain unscathed, while heterodox believers, those with faltering faith, non-believers, and wrongdoers will suffer severe punishnt under the Holy Light.
At the lighter end, it’s spiritual madness, but at the extre, it’s death under the scorching of the Holy Light.
It is the most stringent thod of determination used by the Holy Royal Court.
The Judgent Court may wrongly determine a target, but the Holy Light Judgnt will not.
Furthermore, for the most severe Holy Light Judgnt, even transgressions unrelated to the current Holy Judgnt are often magnified indefinitely...
Hundreds of years ago, the Holy Royal Court removed the Holy Light Judgnt from the Holy Judgnt because this Divine Skill was too rigid, rigid to the point of excessiveness, so much so that it "purified" the very criminals the Judgent Court intended to recruit into the Judgent Troop in order to verify allegiances.
At a certain mont, Rajiv even had an illusion.
The Judgent Court rely wanted to exterminate the Rose Association and replenish the Local Judge Force with fresh blood.
But Charlotte of the Castel family... she wanted every mber of the Rose Association dead.
Even the Church’s Knights were like this; the faces of the Rose Association mbers were even greener.
"Um... Can I not accept the Holy Light Judgnt and go directly into the Judgent Troop?"
So people were almost crying, even raising their hands outright.
Rajiv ignored the commotion of the Rose Association and said indifferently,
"Since Miss Charlotte wishes for the Holy Light to pass judgnt, then prepare for the Holy Light Judgnt."
At this point, whether or not the Rose Association mbers were to enter the Judgent Troop didn’t matter anymore.
With the situation having escalated to this degree, he must regain his dignity.
Clearly, this young heir of the Castel family had no idea just how severe the Holy Light Judgnt, a Divine Art, really was.
Naive, innocent, and even sowhat foolish!
As mbers of the underground syndicate, the Rose Association, with histories not so clean, how could they possibly withstand the Judgnt of the Holy Light?
Rajiv’s expression grew colder and colder.
This ti, he must severely deal with both the Rose Association and the Castel family to warn the world of the authority of the Judgent Court!
With a single command from Rajiv, the Judgent Knights imdiately sprang into action.
They approached the mbers of the Rose Association, lifting their silver swords high, their voices fervent and devout:
"Our Lord Haral!"
"You are the creator of the new world!"
"You are the Divine within the Royal Court!"
"May Your Holy Light descend,"
"And administer the most severe judgnt upon the wicked..."
"..."
Watching the knights and priests who had co before them, beginning to chant spells and release the Holy Light Judgnt, many people from the Rose Association turned pale.
"No! Please! I confess! Don’t cast the Holy Light Judgnt!"
So people cried out.
But it was already too late.
The Judgent Knights were known for their swift actions.
As their chanting continued, the brilliant Holy Light suddenly blood in the estate of the Rose Association, engulfing everyone.
So people imdiately let out piercing screams.
However, as they scread, their voices vanished.
Not because they had died.
But because their expressions revealed utter confusion.
Looking at their own hands, also emitting a soft glow under the Holy Light, each of them froze in astonishnt.
Eh?
Why... doesn’t it hurt?
The Sub-humans were even more stunned as they looked at the Light of Faith on their bodies.
Huh?
Since when did I genuinely beco a Holy believer?
anwhile, on the other side, the Church’s Knights were also taken aback as they looked at the mbers of the Rose Association under the Holy Light, their bodies reflecting either a dim or a bright Light of Faith.
Goodness... so people’s faith was even stronger than theirs!
Rajiv’s brow furrowed slightly.
He looked around, his gaze falling on a Judge, casually throwing the man into the Holy Light.
Accompanied by pitiful screams, the mber of the Judgent Troop who was thrown into the Holy Light quickly turned to ash...
Rajiv’s frown deepened.
The Holy Light lasted for about half a minute before it faded.
The multitude from the Rose Association, indeed so were purified on the spot, and many were clearly confused, obviously also having received so punishnt, but the vast majority survived.
In that instant, the entire estate fell silent.
