Meanwhile, at an abandoned three-story apartment not far from the alleyway, the man named Jack with long hair is currently carrying the girl from before on his shoulder.
"Shit! What was that about? A random brat just kicked me and my friends. What the fuck was his Faith power even?"
"MMPH! MMPPHH!!"
The girl was trying to speak but to no avail, as her mouth has been sealed with duct tape.
"Don't struggle so much little girl. You can struggle as much as you want later when I have my way with you."
They were on a staircase from the second floor to the third floor. Jack stops at the middle of the staircase.
"Sigh~ Time out! Let's stop for a bit, girl."
Jack puts down the girl on the floor and sits down. The girl's hands and legs were tied up with duct tape as well as her mouth to avoid unnecessary screaming. The girl cannot fight back the strength of the duct tape plus the grip of a man. The girl has no other choice but to cower in fear.
"There you go. You're kinda cute when you're quiet like this. Too bad my friends won't be able to feel you up."
The girl starts crying. Tears are running down her cheeks. Jack suddenly gets on top of the girl on the ground. He's holding her hands and placing them above her head across the floor.
"Goddammit, your crying face just makes me wanna fuck you right now!"
"You see, I have a thing for seeing girls crying and struggling in vain as they start to engulf in lust while I rape them ridiculously, messing them up."
"MPPHH!! MMMPHHHH!!!"
"Give me a kiss baby!!"
"MMPPHHH!!! MMPPPPHHH!!"
*BAAAAM*
"KYAAAARRGGHH!!!"
From the wall on their right side, the boy from before breaks through the wall and surprised them. The sudden loud sound of the wall smashed into pieces gave Jack a jumpscare, he sounded like a girl with his screech.
"What the actual fuck? How did you find us?"
"I followed your lust."
"My what? How the fuck?"
"I can track down lust and the people who committed the lust sin. Hiding won't let you escape from me."
"What the hell? Who are you and what do you want?"
"Fine, I'll introduce myself again. My name is Light Lunehart. I am the Judge of Lust. One of the Seven Layers of Judgment. I've come here to bring Judgment upon your actions."
"Judge? Lust? What the fuck is going on?"
"Let go of the girl and then we can talk this out."
"SCREW YOU!!"
Jack slammed his right hand to the ground, creating an ice wall that he immediately disperses into tiny snowflakes explosion resulting in an ice mist that blocked Light's field of view.
"Now, this one is a much better example of an elemental type Believer."
Light opens his palm. His arm blackened and absorbs the mist, instantly clearing his field of view. Light quickly climbed the stairs and reaches the third floor. He looked to the left and right. He saw to his right that the corridor of the apartment has been covered in ice. He also notices the man he's after was standing at the end of the corridor and seemed prepared to face him.
"(What an obvious trap. He looks so ready, but I have to save the girl and knock him out fast before the two guys from before regain their consciousness.)" monologues Light in his mind.
The corridor was 10 meters long. Their distance is quite loose.
"Come! Shitty brat!"
"(He might've prepared some ice spikes as traps as soon as I went through this icy corridor from the walls, floor, and ceiling.)"
"(Heheh! Go right into my trap shitty brat. My ice traps are gonna kill you!)"
As Jack waits patiently for the boy to enter his trap, he prepares his hand to signal his trap to go off. Jack saw the boy weirdly giving of a smirk. The boy did not take a single step forward. He lifts his right hand and opens his palm. The boy's hand blackened. Jack was suddenly pulled as he floats through the entire icy corridor. He got pulled magically right towards Light and his face landed right in Light's palm grip.
"MMPPHH! MMMPPH!"
Light gave Jack the look of anger as soon as Jack landed in his hand. Jack subconsciously struggles to free his face from Light's grip, however, Light's blackened fingers would not budge even a little. In reflex, he creates an ice spike in his hand. He swings the ice spike towards Light. Light blackened the left side of his head, breaking the upcoming ice spike into tiny pieces. Light proceeds to slam him with his head fall first into the floor, leaving a big crack. Jack immediately loses consciousness upon collision with the floor.
The frozen corridor has gone thawed after Jack was knocked out. Light runs through the corridor and reaches the end.
The girl was lying helplessly on the floor with her mouth and limbs still tied by the duct tape. Light frees the girl from the duct tapes. The girl is finally free and she took a deep breath with her mouth. She suddenly jumps towards Light and hugs him, making him fall to the floor.
"WHOA!" Light was startled.
Her hug was so sudden as if it was her body's instinct to reach out to someone after the crisis she almost fell upon.
"Thank you. Thank you! I was so scared!"
Light was flattered a little and now has calmed down. He understood the girl's action.
*pats*
"It's okay. You're safe now."
Light patted her head while giving her words of relieves with a gentle smile. The girl smiles back and felt relieved seeing Light's gentle smile. The girl let go of her hug. Light stands up and offers the girl a hand to help her to stand up as well. The girl happily accepts his hand.
"You should go home now. I'll take care of those guys. I have some business with them."
"Okay."
The girl suddenly bows towards Light.
"Once again, thank you. Thank you very much for saving me! I'll never forget you! Can you please tell me your name once again?"
"My name is Light Lunehart." said Light while giving off yet another gentle smile of his.
Light and the girl walk together toward the exit while Light was carrying the unconscious Jack on his blackened shoulder.
When they reached the exit, the girl suddenly shouts.
"Goodbye, Lunehart-san! Thank you and I hope we meet again! Ah-! I meant, Judge-san!" while she looks so happy.
Light smiles at the girl and waves her goodbye. The girl waves back as she runs and leaves the scene. After seeing the girl left, Light carries Jack and makes his way back to the alleyway where his two friends are currently unconscious.
Five seconds later, Light has reached the alleyway. He put Jack down on the ground. Light pulled out John, the guy he planted in the wall. He places all three of them side by side.
"Now, the real saving starts."
Light opens his palm. He summons forth a sword made out of pure light. This is the Sword of Purification. A sword that is exclusive to the Judges.
"I guess I'll start with the blond guy."
Light stabs the blond guy, John, right in his chest. The sword pierces through his chest, however, it doesn't wound him nor will it leave a scar. From his chest, a black aura began to be absorbed by the sword. Slowly, the sword itself changes its color to the same black color.
The Sword of Purification is not a weapon, it is rather a tool to extract negative emotions out of somebody's heart and it only works on an unconscious person. There are multiple negative emotions that reside within a human's heart, but only the strongest one will be absorbed by the sword. Along with the emotions, memories are also absorbed, which are tied to the emotions felt by the person.
After a while, Light pulls the sword out of John's chest, and then Light flips the sword backward making the blade points towards himself.
*Inhales* *Exhales*
"Here goes!"
He stabs himself on his chest with the sword. The black color from the sword began to fade away as it's flowing to the inside of Light's heart.
"UGH!"
*BA-DUMP BA-DUMP*
Light feels pain surging rapidly into his heart. His eyes widen, he starts sweating and his skin turns pale a little. And then as if a bunch of videos are appearing inside his head, he gains the painful memory of John about his mom's passing.
"Momma! Mom! Don't go! MOM! No, Mom! MOOOM!"
"No! NOOO!!!"
Light can feel John's feeling of guilt of being unable to do anything to stop or prevent his mother's death from an incurable disease. He felt Jack's sadness, sorrow, and pain as if it was he himself who experience the loss of a mother. He wants to cry, but he can endure it, as Light has been doing this for the past two years.
*pant pant*
Light's breathing goes from heavy to normal in a few minutes.
Light was exhausted and devastated by John's painful memories. He prepares his heart for the next two of John's friend's turns.
"I can do this. . ."
Light then proceed to extract negative emotions out of Jack and Mark.
Apparently, Jack lost his older sister in an accident and Mark lost his best friend in a street race
*pant pant*
"(I've been a Judge for 2 years now. I've seen so many people driven to be evil because of their hurting. It's been 2 years . . It's been 2 years and yet, I still can't get used to seeing all these people took the wrong direction because of their pain. It's just sad. . .)"
"(I didn't know if they ever commit rape prior to today's failed attempt. Without me knowing, there may have been girls that they raped in the past.)" said Light in his head with a painful expression on his face.
Light kneels on the ground in front of the 3 guys that are still unconscious. He folds his hands together and takes a pose to pray then he prays with a very low and quiet voice.
Light stands up and lifts his two open hands towards them. His whole body began to be engulfed in a pure white aura, then he channels the entire white aura into the 3 young men on the ground, slowly enters their body.
"Amen."
Light ends his prayer.
"Yet another three painful memories I got to keep in my heart. That makes it around two thousand memories in total since the day I became a Judge."
Light blackened both of his legs and jumps vertically to the sky, leaving the scene.
15 minutes later. . .
The three men start regaining their consciousness one after another. John woke up first and the other two wakes up a bit later. John feels weird like something has been lifted from him, but he is unsure of what it is.
The other two guys awake and notice that John was staring at an object he is holding in his hand. They came closer to him and saw that it is just a piece of note that says, "You have been freed!"
John began to sob.
*sobs sobs*
"That kid from before, he did this right? Have you guys noticed something? I myself feel so light. Right here!"
John puts his hand on his chest. The other two guys also notice that their heart feels lighter than ever. They cried for no reason. They cried together. There is a strange motivation that drives them. They are so happy that they feel like they can do anything now.
On that day, in a dark alleyway, where it was supposed to be a crime scene for rape, has been changed completely into a very fortunate outcome. Light Lunehart is a Judge. He doesn't save people from criminals and bad guys. He SAVES the criminals and the bad guys. This is the role of a Judge, a new system from the One True God to correct wrongdoings in this world.
