Chapter 167 Execution PT:2

A day or so later Daedalus could be seen stood on a stage holding a ceremonial execution axe. Daedalus had made this axe over the past day, and the enchantments places on it where rather brutal. The axe it self was made from living metal so that ment it could cultivate, however the way it cultivated was brutal.

The enchantments places on the axe allowed it to take the souls of those it kills and break them down in to pure karmic energy. It did however have one other important enchantment, it could read what someone's karma was and if they had a positive karma it would become dull and even push it self away from them.

Due to how it worked Daedalus decided that he would call it karma. This was because it brought down only those with karmic evil and not those with good karma. Daedalus also knew that with the fact that it absorbed the souls, it would likely have a soul of its own soon, and since it would kill only the evil it would be a naturally righteous soul.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After waiting a while longer the evil nobles where brought up to the platform. With them there Daedalus began his speech "Today we will be executing these terrible souls. Yes souls, the axe I hold is known as karma! It is only capable of killing those with negative karma."

Daedalus then had Gram take it and swing it at his neck. Daedalus did not flinch as the axe came at him. The surrounding crowds however cried out in alarm. Karma however stopped it self a ways away from Daedalus.

The crowds where shocked but Daedalus continued while Daedalus explained "The greater your karmic merit the farther from you it will be stopped. However, should you have a higher negative karma..."

Daedalus took Karma back and walked near to Mortermer. Mortermer shrieked in utterly soul crushing pain while Daedalus continued "...they will feel unprecedented pain!"

The crowds seeing Daedalus standing twelve metres from Mortermer where in an uproar realising just how great his karmic sin was. One man from the crowd however stepped forward and said "I know this may be wrong of me to say, but what if what you said was the exact opposite and it was that it did not attack those with negative karma while attacking those with good karma?"

The guards around the stage became angry at this but before they could do anything Daedalus spoke "That is a good question, would anyone like to find the kindest person they know? If they are alright with it we can demonstrate. Karma also only allows those with good karma to even hold him."

The crowd seemed to agree with this and a shy looking man was pushed to the front of the crowd. Daedalus asked the guards to escort him up. Daedalus then took a second to check his karma. To Daedalus' utter shock the man's karmic aura was so bright and large that it looked larger than the sun itself.
