I get out of the Ship surrounded by my Familiars and the others, the Hero and his group also appear, we all look at the people who are on our side.
Before leaving the Ship I had already given my orders to Nicole and those who were checking the enemy Ships, now they are all outside the Ships and close to us.
"I won't help you this time." (Klaus)
"Okay, Nicole already confirmed their strength." (I)
"Can you at least protect the Ship? I don't want it to get damaged and delay our trip to the other Elf villages." (I)
"Naraka is already protecting, but the defenses would hold anyway." (Klaus)
"Are they seeing us?" (I)
"Yes, I can sense multiple Auras around the Ship, plus they are looking directly at you." (Ragnar)
"Master, your mask..." (Freya)
"It wouldn't make sense to use in that situation, it's clear why they came." (I)
"They are coming." (Sophia)
"How is Rakan?" (I)
"Erica said they're done." (Sophia)
As I spoke I waited, the attacks stopped when we all came out to see, for a few seconds they didn't move or say anything.
But soon some people on the ground spread their wings showing that they were from the Beast Man Bird tribe or they were Demons, they came to join with 5 people riding Wyverns and a Man with a well decorated robe from the Celestine race who was approaching.
The clothes of the man in question are traditional to the point of recognizing his function from what I have studied of the Temple of the Law, he is a Judge.
"All of you must come with me, this is a warning to avoid any bloodshed." (Judge)
"Enough of your nonsense, state your real intentions, Mr. Judge." (I)
"My name is Michael, Judge and High Priest of the Temple of the Law." (Michael)
"You are Zenos, Vampire Patriarch and a new Blood Demigod." (Michael)
"You have committed acts of murder, theft, trafficking in stolen goods, buying and selling illegal goods, attempted murder, kidnapping, and various other crimes." (Michael)
I see the Hero and the Priestess of Justice out of the corner of my eye wanting to say something, but I raise a hand to them as I shake my head in denial, I don't want them to interfere.
"As someone who has committed so many crimes, including threatening a high ranking High Priest of our Temple, you will be arrested for trial, and if you resist I am allowed to pass a death sentence on the spot." (Michael)
"Are you done talking yet?" (I)
"Yes, that's your only one…" (Michael)
"< Crushing Aura Fist >" (I)
I make a large fist of Aura which I use to pummel those idiot Judges who like to hear the sound of their own voices to the ground.
"< Decree Law: Aura Negation >" (Michael)
"ACTIVATE!" (Michael)
Soon a magic circle appears from the ground from which thousands of chains emerge coming towards our Ship.
"That was fixed from the beginning." (Michael)
"Yes, since the moment you underestimated us." (I)
A magic circle expands from inside the Ship to be underneath it, when the chains touched the magic circle it broke along with the two magic circles, both the one that came out of the ship and the one on the ground where the chains came from.
"Did you think you wouldn't realize that the attacks at the beginning and your smug speech were actually to hide the fact of creating and activating this magic circle to use against us?" (I)
"You know you don't stand a chance..." (I)
"I admit you were as smart as reported, but that doesn't change anything, it was just an attempt to avoid combat." (Michael)
Soon hundreds more people riding Wyverns appear from within the clouds surrounding us and hundreds more people hidden by illusions appear on the ground, their numbers easily surpass 1200.
"As I said before, it was settled from the start." (Michael)
Sigh
"I've always heard that the law is blind, but I never thought that it's also an idiot." (I)
"I will only give you one opportunity to leave, after that there will be no escape." (I)
"..." (Alan)
"You have no opinion on this matter." (I)
"You, if I'm not mistaken, are the current Hero of Justice, what a disappointment mixing with criminals." (Michael)
"Big words for a Hypocrite of a Religion that twists its teachings to fit what they want." (Bianca)
"Stop arguing." (I)
I stopped the Hero from speaking as this matter is my responsibility, your opinion doesn't matter in this situation and I hope you realize that.
These people did not come to dialogue or comply with the law, they came to judge and condemn, my warning to them was their only option to leave, but just looking at this Judge is already an answer to my warning, they will not leave.
"ATTACK! KILL THE CRIMINAL AND ANYONE WHO INTERFERES!" (Michael)
"< Teleportation: Activate >" (Michael)
"< Space Arrow >" (Freya)
He retreats using a magic item teleported back along with those around him, but I had expected him to at least have a method to safely retreat when he appeared, so I had Freya prepared.
As soon as he activated his magic item, Freya fired, when he came out in the back along with his companions, he had an arrow stuck in his chest.
"Finish them off." (I)
"Let them fight, there's no need to go yet." (Natasha)
---------------
Pov Alan (Hero of Justice):
I see Zenos fall behind as his Familiars and companions move forward to attack, I look at Bianca who shakes her head in denial without me saying anything.
"Why not?" (I)
"This fight is not ours, do you even know what you will be fighting for?" (Bianca)
"He's right, the decision to let enemies live or die is his, for a Judge to come in person means he was prepared to pass judgment and with so many soldiers there could only be one conclusion." (Bianca)
"Why am I wrong? Just because I don't think it's right to kill everyone?" (I)
"You saw his eyes, even if someone surrenders, he will kill everyone." (I)
"They came prepared for this." (Darcia)
"It's only fair that they get the same treatment they were willing to give when they arrived." (Bianca)
"I've said it before, you must have the determination to cover yourself in blood when you choose the path of justice in this world, there are many who bend right and wrong or even laws to achieve what they want, that kind of person will always exist like now." (Bianca)
Bianca keeps looking at the Judge who is in the distance, she has a serious face, when I look at the Judge he is laughing.
"There are many people who don't deserve a second chance, some don't even deserve what they already have." (Bianca)
"..." (I)
