7 Layers of Judgment

2. The Queen of Time part 2

2. The Queen of Time part 2

Feb 21, 2021

Light walks slowly through the room. The room has a short corridor that has a door on the left that leads to a bathroom, and just past that small corridor, is a bed on the left. 

Light walks past the bed and stands on the opposite side of the bed. There are a middle-aged man and a girl on the bed half-naked. The girl is struggling to free herself from the middle-aged man. They were too busy to even notice Light's presence in the room. Across the bed, there is a glass door leading to a balcony. Judging by how fancy this room is, this is an expensive one.

Light raised his right hand and transform it. His blackened palm opens and pulled the old man away from the bed, freeing the girl. The middle-aged man's back of the head arrived on Light's palm.

"WHA-?"

"GO! I got this!" said Light to the girl with a confident smile.

"Thank you! Thank you for saving me! I'll never forget this!" said the girl towards Light.

The girl immediately wears her clothes and runs as fast as she can, away from the room.

"This is going to traumatize the girl. Good thing I arrived before it was too late. Now then--"

Light throws the middle-aged man towards the wall across the room.

"ARGH!"

The middle-aged man falls onto the bed.

"So then, what kind of excuses are you gonna come up with?"

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?"

"Wrong answer!"

Light gathers a small whirlwind and punches it away as it launches towards the middle-aged man's belly.

"OOGGH!"

The man holds his stomach as if it was punched directly with a fist.

Light transforms the half-left side of his face in order to instill fear towards the middle-aged man.

"Let me rephrase my question. What were you doing to that girl? Correct answers only!"

*pant pant*

The middle-aged man is panting through the pain of his belly while feeling the sudden surge of fear chilling through his body as soon as he took a glance at Light's face.

"I-I scouted her. She was looking for a job and I took advantage of that."

"You sound suspiciously honest. Did pain make you talk?"

"Y-Yes, I'm too old for this, so let me just—"

*BANG*

The middle-aged man suddenly took out a gun from under the pillow on the bed and shoots Light right in his head. However, Light did not even flinch. His head is fine and the bullet is nowhere to be found.

"I'm gonna break your hand, both of them!" said Light with an incredibly pissed tone because of the man's action.

"EEEEEEEKKK--!! W-WAIT!! L-LOOK! BEHIND YOU! AT THE BALCONY! LOOK!"

Normally, Light wouldn't fall for such a silly trap, but this time, Light does feel the presence of someone's stare on his back. 

Light undoes all of his transformations and turns around. He caught a glimpse of a similar someone. It's not exactly someone he knew or any of the sorts. Rather, it was someone he just met this morning. It was the girl he met at his workplace, the girl who gave him fake money. The girl is no longer covering her face with her hood.

Light saw the girl's face. She has a pair of beautiful oceanic blue eyes and a pretty face according to his preference however, the girl's eyes show no will to live. The girl wears black short pants with a pair of black socks that reach past her knees, and a pair of black shoes. The girl's figure is only slightly shorter than Light. Her bust size is A-cup. Not to mention the beautiful long black silk hair that Light has already cemented into his mind when he saw it this morning.

"Stand aside!" said the girl towards Light from behind the glass door at the balcony.

*!*

The girl was surprised to see Light's face.

"You were at the counter this morning."

"And you're the girl that ran away and gave me fake money. Please pay properly now!"

Without answering him, the girl moves towards the old man as she broke through the glass door, but the girl's movement was barely visible as if she just teleported to the middle-aged man.

"(What was--?)" said Light in his thoughts as he was astonished.

The girl was suddenly holding a sword made out of blue light that resembles the hand of a clock. 

The girl was ready to stab the middle-aged man right in the head. Light reacts quickly and transforms his hand and pulls the girl towards it. 

The girl struggles but to no avail. Light grabs the girl's head and pinned her down to the floor immediately.

"(What was that? I couldn't move even though I reacted to it.)" said the girl to herself after processing what has happened.

"What is your deal? You tried to kill him without hesitation. You've done this a lot?"

"A lot is an understatement."

"What was that movement? It can't be teleportation. Not with that kind of sword. What is your Faith power?"

"You're seriously asking that and hope I would answer? Naïve!"

All-around Light, he saw the same swords are forming out of nowhere with each of the sword's tips is pointing towards him from all angles. There were more of them than his transformation can protect him. Without a second thought, Light gathers the fabric of space around his feet and warps away from the room, and reappears outside, at the balcony. The swords flew towards their intended target and completely missed it. The swords land everywhere in the hotel room and made such a mess. 

The girl got up and immediately tries to kill the middle-aged man yet again.

"Die!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" screams the middle-age man.

The girl swings her sword without a glimpse of hesitation.

"Tch!"

Light pulls the girl towards his hand again. The girl felt like she was being sucked in by a very large and powerful vacuum.

"(This again?)"

The girl struggles by stabbing her sword on the floor as she holds on to it but to no avail. 

Once the girl lands on Light's palm, he immediately jumps off the balcony together with the girl.

 Light grabbed her by the neck. He aims the girl's back to face the highway as he readies his blackened right fist and gathers wind around it.

"EF 1 Tornado!"

Light punches the girl with the whirlwind on his arm at the girl's belly but at the same time, the girl stabs Light with her sword on his left shoulder. However, his left shoulder transforms automatically on the area that the girl stabbed. The sword looks like it just went inside his transformed left shoulder, and it vanishes into his blackened shoulder as fast as it travels. 

The punch launches the girl down towards the highway. The impact creates a small crater on the highway and a burst of dust that covers the girl. Light falls to the highway but he fell on his blackened feet, avoiding any injury.

"(I couldn't even see her attack. She was too fast. Thank God, I am a transformation type.)"

From under the thick cloud of dust where the girl is, a dim blue light shines for a bit. Then something flew at high speed towards Light. 

Light immediately raises his blackened palm to block the upcoming object. However, the girl was behind him, already swinging her blade towards Light's back. The projectile earlier was also her blade. The sword from the front lands on Light's blackened palm and the girl's attack from behind was blocked as Light transforms his whole back at the same time. Both the swords from the front and from behind got absorbed into his transformed body parts. Immediately after those sequences, Light turns around and tries to pull in the girl yet again. However, the girl was already gone when Light turns around. The girl is keeping her distance from him.

"Those aesthetics, time-based Faith power?"

"What about you? Some type of vacuum Faith power? And I noticed your body transformed a lot. You're a transformation type!"

"I can't say yet what your type is. I don't mind spoilers though."

"Unfortunately, you have to work hard for it."

The girl's eyes turn light blue and blue roman numerals appear surrounding each pupil imitating that of a clock while the pupil itself turns light blue as well. 

All of a sudden, Light was slashed on different parts of his body, although his body automatically transforms and protects him from each attack, he didn't even realize what's happening until 6 of his body parts already transformed automatically. He couldn't even react. He also didn't realize that the girl's sword was absorbed into him each time it clashed with his transformation.

"(This girl-!?)"

Light transforms his right arm and tries to pull the girl into his hand. He didn't even know where the girl's attack would come from so he swings 360 degrees hoping he would capture her. The girl was coming from Light's blind spot, however, the girl felt she was pulled forcefully into his arm. The girl focuses the glare of her clock-eyes towards him. 

Light won the gamble, the girl's face landed on his grip during the swing.

"(I-I can't read his movement. What's going on here?)"

Light slams the girl towards the ground on the highway as her clock-eyes turn back to normal. The slam creates another crack. The girl, however, did not lose her consciousness as Light holds back the strength of his slam. He holds her down while his blackened hand is still on her face.

"Care to explain what happened in the hotel room up there?"

"Go to hell!"

"You don't look like the average everyday girl. Who are you?"

"I have no obligation to answer."

"As for me, my name is Light Lunehart. I am a Judge. I am one of the Seven Layers of Judgment, pleasure to meet you."

"Judge? Never heard of that term in this side of the world."

"This side?' So you live in the underworld, the dark side of society? You're an assassin, right? You were ready to kill without hesitation, not in the slightest."

The girl didn't reply.

"Alright, you're coming with me!"

Light holds both of her hands and lets go of her face, he's forcefully making her stand. The girl summons her swords all around both of them.

"You still wanna do this?"

One of the swords swings itself and cuts the girl's hand, freeing her from Light's hold.

"KYAARGH!"

Normally, Faith powers cannot harm their user, however, it is possible if the user intended to for whatever reason. 

Blood splattered everywhere. The other swords immediately fly towards Light. 

Light warps away and reappears quite a distance from the girl. He also realizes he's still holding the girl's cut forearms while blood still dripping out of them.

"THAT WAS WAY TOO RECKLESS!"

"I don't care! Anything to achieve my goal!"

The girl's hands glow blue and regenerate as if nothing ever happened to them. The forearms that are in Light's hand also disappear without a trace, including all the blood that was splattered earlier on the highway.

"I almost foolishly forgot why I came here. I don't have time for this. Time Stop!"

Suddenly, everything has stopped moving. There is no more of the breeze of air coursing through the skin. There are no more flickering streetlamps. There are no sounds that can be heard. The clouds above have also stopped moving. The moon did not rotate the earth. The entire world has been put to a complete halt. Without any kind of body movement or hand signals, the girl stopped the flow of time.

In a world where everything is similar to ours, there exists a supernatural phenomenon since the very first creation of life. This supernatural phenomenon is called Faith power, the power of belief. Human has acquired this supernatural strength since the very first human was created. Thousands of years later, humanity has developed into a society similar to ours. Society in this world is very different from ours because Faith power has enabled many people of doing extraordinary things, un-natural things, such as breathing fire, producing electricity, breathing underwater, and such. Crime is a common thing in this world. Although there are many people standing up to those who abuse such capability, it is still not enough. Seven teenagers were chosen by God, the One True God who created everything that existed, to be the Judges of the world. They will become a symbol to suppress crimes worldwide. Thus, born a new concept in the world called the Seven Layers of Judgment.
