"Sergei."
In the Blood Moon Judgment, Reji's gaze turned to the first judge to accept "judgment".
Because of their faith in the "Judgment" fate track, the appearance and temperament of every high-ranking member of the Court of Judgment were subtly influenced. Their faces were as sharp as knives, iron-faced without a hint of emotion, seemingly full of impartiality and uprightness.
Just like now, although the court had changed abruptly and the prisoner had broken free, turning the tables, even being the first to be named by the Demon King, Judge Sergei still had an unchanged expression. He straightened his body, as if he would never submit to evil.
"Are you guilty?"
Reji gave Judge Sergei a chance to speak first.
But obviously, the other party didn't cooperate like he did before. Instead, he looked at Reji coldly and continued to reprimand Reji in a judge's tone:
"The court is a sacred place that cannot be desecrated. Your evil today will surely receive His judgment!"
"Is that so? I don't think so. If He really still exists... you hypocritical believers should be the first to be liquidated by Him, right?"
Reji's words, through the magic projection of the Tower of Justice, fell into the ears of every citizen of the Court of Judgment who was observing this Blood Moon Judgment.
The vast majority of people became angry. After all, these judges were the face of the Court of Judgment, the representatives of their self-proclaimed fairness and justice. Now they were actually called hypocritical believers by a prisoner. This was simply denying their entire Court of Judgment.
But with the next moment's new action of that young Demon King in the magic projection, the citizens of the Court of Judgment who were originally filled with righteous indignation suddenly stopped. The indignation on their faces quickly turned into confusion and bewilderment.
Only to see Reji give a gesture. Afterwards, the Judgment Knight Captain Lana, who was also the biggest contributor to capturing the Demon King this time, holding the Oath Sword, came in front of this judge.
"Lana, what are you doing! Quickly come to your senses! Don't be controlled by evil!"
Judge Sergei thought that Lana was being manipulated by Reji and was trying to wake up his companion. But Lan was not moved at all.
This female attendant of the Second Prince, with an expressionless face, raised the Oath Sword in her hand towards the judge's position.
And the next moment, the Oath Sword seemed to be stimulated by something. The originally ordinary sword body suddenly flashed with surging holy radiance above the judge's head. Its light was so dense that any citizen watching the projection could clearly see it.
The holy sword... reacted to the judge?
Previously, they had already learned about the origin of this holy sword through the charges against the Demon King. This was the holy item bestowed by the Emperor to the Seventh Prince.
This holy item usually didn't show itself. Only when encountering a vicious villain would it exert its power.
In other words...
The stronger the holy sword's reaction to a certain object, the deeper the evil in that person.
But now...
What was going on?
The judge!?
In the ears of the confused and bewildered citizens of the Court of Judgment, the voice of the Demon King continued to resound.
From Sergei's memory images, it was obvious that there were no villains from Syndicate at all. All of this was clearly... directed and acted out by the Judgment Knight Corps? What made the citizens of the Court of Judgment feel a chill was Sergei's last sentence.
Attempting to bring knowledge... to the ignorant masses?
The reason for the empire's magic seal was that ordinary humans couldn't bear too much magic power. Only a very few people had magic tolerance. And the further one cultivated, magic power not only brought strength but also brought some irreversible twists in temperament, making people go crazy, indulging in it and unable to extricate themselves.
So even if the citizens of the three major countries admired the various magical effects of magic, under such propaganda, they were more likely to shy away from magic power and magic, and never had the intention of actively cultivating or secretly practicing.
But from the mentor's research and the judge's conversation, it seemed that the truth was not like this at all?
"Do you have anything else to say in your defense, Sergei?"
"It's you! You altered my memory!! This is all fake! It's you! I want to... to kill you, you heretic!"
After his mask was torn off, the judge, who seemed to have gone completely crazy, with a ferocious expression, losing his mind, wanted to desperately kill Reji.
Reji shook his head. For such an ugly state, the best destination was still...
Crack!
Before the judge could move a few times, the blood moon barrier under his feet showed spider web-like cracks and completely shattered in the next second.
And Judge Sergei, losing support, instantly fell, towards the abyss below, towards that Stillwater Prison below the tall tower.
"No, no... ah..."
The voice seemed to fall into a deep abyss, getting smaller and smaller until it completely disappeared. The black Stillwater Prison below swallowed up the judge's figure.
The first criminal completed the exile.
Then the next one...
When Reji's gaze turned to the new judge again, this person seemed to have learned from the previous one's lesson. He immediately wanted to resist directly, thinking that he absolutely couldn't fall into the Demon King's evil magic. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.
The spiritual threads of the Banner of Command still connected him, and his memories were also made public.
A new scene appeared.
And this time, it made the citizens of the Court of Judgment even more shocked.
It was the largest and most famous hospital clinic in the Court of Judgment.
The most respected medical director with the title of Herb Sage was now using an extremely anxious and terrified expression, seeming to be explaining something to this judge.
In the director's hand was a light purple reagent. The director's previous nervousness all came from this reagent.
"A scam! This is a scam by the empire! This medicine doesn't have any disease resistance at all. It brings another more terrifying thing. It's alive! Judge, do you understand?
It's alive! It's... it's eggs!"
"I don't know what the empire wants to do, but we absolutely can't inject such a medicinal vaccine into the bodies of our people in the Court of Judgment. Judge, we... Ju-Judge?"
The answer to this Herb Sage was a spike pierced into his chest.
