Chapter 82: -70- Holy Light witnesses the devotion of the Rose Association_2

The Werewolf Leader frowned as he looked toward the girl conversing with the Judgement 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 demeanor, 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 time he had encountered Charlotte of the Castel family; prior to this, he had even harbored some vague dissatisfaction towards her.

However, at this moment, 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 some kind of instinct.

The Werewolf Luf felt unsure and confused in his heart.

On the other side, Second Tier Judgement Knight Rajiv’s brows gradually knitted together.

This was a situation he had not anticipated.

He had thought the girl was merely causing a scene, but to his surprise, she actually held evidence in her hands.

However...

"Miss Charlotte, this is merely 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 time to fabricate evidence. On the other hand... the Judgement Court has already conducted an investigation into the crimes of the Rose Association."

Rajiv spoke with a heavy voice.

Upon hearing the Judgement Knight’s words, Charlotte smiled faintly.

After a long detour... she finally came 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 judgement evidence...

"You are correct."

"We do indeed have the suspicion of delaying to fabricate evidence."

"But in the same vein... how can you be certain the accusations in your hands are not the result of meticulous 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 Judgement Court?"

"No... I am merely concerned that perhaps the distinguished knights of the Judgement Court have been deceived. If I’m not mistaken, this accusation was made anonymously, right?"

"This Holy Judgment 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 immediately enraged.

Rajiv’s complexion grew even more unsightly.

He signaled the other Judgement Knights to stay calm, deeply examined Charlotte for a moment, and after hesitating briefly, he suddenly let out a cold laugh:

"How about this?"

"Since Miss Charlotte is so confident, so distrustful of our Judgement Court, let’s leave everything to the Holy Light Judgment."

"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 Judgment 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 demeanor, Rajiv frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled whether she was truly naive or merely feigning naivety.

"Holy Light Judgment?!"

The Demon Hunting Knights were also taken aback, beholding the girl with strange looks.

Indeed, the Holy Light does not lie.

But at the same time, the Holy Light is much more severe.

Especially the Holy Light Judgment.

The Holy Light Judgment 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 punishment under the Holy Light.

At the lighter end, it’s spiritual madness, but at the extreme, it’s death under the scorching of the Holy Light.

It is the most stringent method of determination used by the Holy Royal Court.

The Judgement Court may wrongly determine a target, but the Holy Light Judgment will not.

Furthermore, for the most severe Holy Light Judgment, even transgressions unrelated to the current Holy Judgment are often magnified indefinitely...

Hundreds of years ago, the Holy Royal Court removed the Holy Light Judgment from the Holy Judgment because this Divine Skill was too rigid, rigid to the point of excessiveness, so much so that it "purified" the very criminals the Judgement Court intended to recruit into the Judgement Troop in order to verify allegiances.

At a certain moment, Rajiv even had an illusion.

The Judgement Court merely wanted to exterminate the Rose Association and replenish the Local Judge Force with fresh blood.

But Charlotte of the Castel family... she wanted every member of the Rose Association dead.

Even the Church’s Knights were like this; the faces of the Rose Association members were even greener.

"Um... Can I not accept the Holy Light Judgment and go directly into the Judgement Troop?"

Some 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 judgment, then prepare for the Holy Light Judgment."

At this point, whether or not the Rose Association members were to enter the Judgement 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 Judgment, a Divine Art, really was.

Naive, innocent, and even somewhat foolish!

As members of the underground syndicate, the Rose Association, with histories not so clean, how could they possibly withstand the Judgment of the Holy Light?

Rajiv’s expression grew colder and colder.

This time, he must severely deal with both the Rose Association and the Castel family to warn the world of the authority of the Judgement Court!

With a single command from Rajiv, the Judgement Knights immediately sprang into action.

They approached the members 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 judgment upon the wicked..."

"..."

Watching the knights and priests who had come before them, beginning to chant spells and release the Holy Light Judgment, many people from the Rose Association turned pale.

"No! Please! I confess! Don’t cast the Holy Light Judgment!"

Some people cried out.

But it was already too late.

The Judgement Knights were known for their swift actions.

As their chanting continued, the brilliant Holy Light suddenly bloomed in the estate of the Rose Association, engulfing everyone.

Some people immediately let out piercing screams.

However, as they screamed, 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 astonishment.

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 become a Holy believer?

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Church’s Knights were also taken aback as they looked at the members of the Rose Association under the Holy Light, their bodies reflecting either a dim or a bright Light of Faith.

Goodness... some 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 member of the Judgement 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 some were purified on the spot, and many were clearly confused, obviously also having received some punishment, but the vast majority survived.

In that instant, the entire estate fell silent.
