Chapter 2183: Unfolding Consequences



Even though she was dead, she had left a mark on him. One that would probably remain with him forever.

He got the feeling that that was her goal from the very start.

He couldn't know for sure, after all...

"...She's dead."

A maelstrom of emotion surged within him.

"Hahaha..." A weak laugh escaped him as he came to terms with this surreal turn of events.

He finally did it.

After eighteen long years, she was finally dead.

By his own hands, nonetheless.

It felt deeply rewarding to finally cut out that cancer of a threat from his life.

Yet, it also brought him more fear.

His eyes grew more grave while his body stiffened.

The severity of his current circumstances hit him like a train.

It didn't matter what their history was.

It didn't matter whether she deserved what she had gotten.

He killed an innocent evaluator in cold blood.

On top of that, he caused a lot of damage to the infrastructure of the Panamic Martial Federation. Normally, he would not have any civil liability for such an outcome, however...

"...I used a forbidden technique." Rui grimaced.

He was armed with an ostentatious sword by his side, giving off a sharp aura that threatened to cut anything it graced.

"Good day, Your Mastery," he curtly wished Rui as he approached him, much to the

displeasure of Doctor Sheel.

"Your Mastery," she bowed deeply, "verification of the recovery of patients takes priority according to the rules and regula-"

"I'm afraid the Martial court disagrees." He pulled out a paper stamped with the seal of the Panamic Martial Federation.

She heaved a sigh, clearly upset yet powerless to stop him.

Rui, on the other hand, turned grave, having read the entire paper from top to bottom.

It was the equivalent of an arrest warrant.

"Master Rui Quarrier Silas Kandria," the Master began with a forceful tone, "with the vested authority of the Martial Court of the Panamic Martial Federation, you are hereby under arrest for the crimes of first-degree murder, second-degree mass murder, destruction of property, the unauthorized use of a forbidden technique atop property of the Panamic Martial Federation..."

As he read out the list of the crimes that Rui had inadvertently committed, Rui couldn't feel some amount of guilt for the destruction that he had caused.

His thoughts flashed back to the absurd inferno that the fusion of the Yin-Yang Spear and the Muspelheim domain had created.

Never in his wildest dreams did he think that the idea would yield such a result in such a horrendous outcome with an explosion that only grew stronger and more powerful even after

Rui stopped supplying it energy.

However, he could make some educated guesses with his understanding of science in

hindsight.

Yet, even those educated guesses were truly extraordinary in their implications.

As much as he would have loved to fall into deep consideration about them, he didn't have

that leeway at the moment.

"...and thus, you shall be given a fair trial where you will be judged innocent or guilty by none other than High Judge Sage Kole Kellin."
