Chapter 426 - : Crime and Punishment, and Gratitude (1/2)
In a Different World with a Smartphone Chapter 426: Crime and Punishment, and Gratitude
If possible, I wanted to leave this alone, but alas
I’ to the baseht order’s barracks This base added later on Once I finished descending the spiral staircase, I caht ahead, and two knights on guard duty in a small roo so push- ups
I thought they looked familiar, and it turned out they were 2 of the 4 de the survival test for the knight order entrance exa youth, and the one doing push-ups is a woo and Ashley
“… Wh-, Your Majesty!?”
“Eh, His Majesty’s here!?”
“Ah, it’s fine it’s fine No need for that”
The young ’s head stood up abruptly, and the woround in shock
I stopped the to the dungeon besides us
“I want to enter; is that okay?”
“Hah! Here is the key!”
Dingo took the large key hanging on the wall and handed it over tothe two, I used the key to open the thick iron doors
The area beyond the door is a dungeon Arch-shaped passages can be seen to the sides, and at the end of those, sturdy-looking iron grids were fitted into the walls The iron grids were engraved with th todown in one of those dungeon cells
Inside the cell, there’s a bed made fros are placed on top of that Beside the bed, a shabby shelf was placed, on top of which a lightin place of candles; it shone frolasses
Further in, there’s a shower room and toilet blocked from view by a curtain It’s quite a luxurious cell, if I do say so Well, it’s also quite hard to escape froical barriers are placed all over the place, so even if you sawed open the iron bars, or dug your way through the walls, you won’t be able to get out
Also, in a corner of the rooolem encased in an ice pillar was placed My [Eternal Coffin] won’t nal on ?”
“Nn~… Not really… Wait, that voice! To-yan!?”
Throwing off the blanket on top of her, Luna raised her upper body Her hair looks ood
“You look pretty well for someone in prison for several days already”
“Buu Throwing me into a place like this; To-yan is a bully!”
“You say that, but where else are you gonna find a prison that provides good meals 3 times a day and has a proper shower and toilet included in the cell?”
You’d hate it if they give you a pot for toilet, right Co like that, the iht of luxury, you know Well, it’s still ih
Well, that aside I should get on with the ainst you, there’s the charges of invading the royal castle and atte to assassinate royalty…”
“I did invade the castle, but royalty… Ah, do youa blank face, Luna picked up the pair of glasses on the shelf and put it on
“Not just me, but Moroha nee-san and Karina nee-san as well They’re my relatives, you see, whichonee-samas were To-yan’s sisters!?”
I unintentionally took a step backwards due to Luna suddenly juht in front ofthe iron bars with a loud noise
“O, only one of the! I couldn’t hit them at all, and Viola was also taken out in an instant! If it’s those onee-samas, they should be able to kill me really easily!”
With sparkles in her eyes, Luna wiggled her body with her fingers crossed in front of her chest She’s panting too Is she a pervert? Wait, no, I already knew that
“… I’ve been o, but do you want to die or souess~ If I can die, then I would want to, or so like that I don’t really know myself It’s weird, isn’t it, since I didn’t want to die at all a long tio You knoas told by Nia- chin once before, that the more I use Viola’s power, the more I would be broken Then at the end, Viola would kill irl… Does she actually understand the fact that herthat, she did all those ridiculous things, and even as herViola’s power, she wants to be killed by Viola one day… So like that?
“It’s all your fault anyway, To-yan I thought To-yan would be able to kill me, but you turned out to be such a wi shot from unrelated stuff all of a sudden…?”
“Look, it’s really scary when you die, right? I’ve had that several tiet pulled out of , I feltslashed, piercing through soh ood to me It h the act of receiving pain What’s more, every time she receives pain, her mind becomes more broken, and she takes another step towards death She’s beyond saving
Chroave theh extracting “compensation” from their masters
In a sense, it’s like a devil’s pact In order to obtain power, so precious to you is first taken away In Luna’s case, it can be said that the co body with adead
Furthermore, that ability is auto to use the [Crown]’s power one day, if she gets injured, Viola will autoenerate her body with its power, and take compensation froranted to its master This is more like a scaht I’d be glad if To-yan was the one who killed ain? Un, this is troubling…”
“I’ll excuseyou at theto Bastet and the others, she did protect the Sacred Tree, after all Well, just that won’t cancel out her crimes I’ll still have her receive soh, this is why virg—”
“You shut up for a sec”
God daarding her “co the [Crown]s’ co systeht be able to do soole it would be tough If I use my divinity, then it’s not impossible, but…
“If I say I want to completely destroy Viola, ould you do? If I did that, your mind wouldn’t become weirder, you know?”
“Destory Viola? Hmm… I think I’d mind it, a little Viola’s not a bad kid, you know It’s nice tome food from somewhere, and when I’m sleepy it would carry me on its back I don’t think Viola wanted to be born that way too The one in the wrong is the guy who made Viola to be like this, you know”
Don’t worry about that If it’s the creator you’re talking about, he lost all of his o when the white [Crown], Albus went into a rauess you can say he got what he deserved
If she doesn’t want Viola destroyed, then I suppose I’ll do so else
With a divinity-enhanced [Teleport], I transferred myself into the prison The barrier around the cell would noric as well, but not my version I sure have become out-of-the-norm, if I do say so
“Ueh!?”
Ignoring Luna who’s shocked to seeinside her cell, I approached the ice pillar placed in the corner with Viola frozen inside it
When I half-released the [Eternal Coffin], the ice beganViola, thawed only down to its shoulders, appeared from within the ice
“Gi”
Viola tried to free itself fros still encased, I doubt it can do anything
“Viola I’ll take your [Crown] status from you now Don’t think badly of me, okay? Your poill only create rabbed Viola’s head and casted [analyze] I don’t understand the detailed construction, but siy is a different ical path that connects Viola to Luna This power can be said to be Viola itself, so I can’t very well erase it co]”
Null-attribute ic that changed an artifact’s effect
Having said that, it can’t do soic staff that shot out fireballs shoot lightning instead However, it can make the fireball smaller, or make it not appear at all
I used it to interfere with Viola’s [Crown] ability,it inoperable, and made a new system based on its properties
“With this, Viola is no longer a [Crown] It’s just a really powerful golem”
“Really…”
“Zip it If you don’t believeyourself with this”
I took out a needle froe] and passed it to Luna She held the needle with a shaky hand, slowly took off her pair of glasses, and thrusted the needle towards her eyeball—
“AAAAHH! Dangerous! What the hell do you think you’re doing, you idiot!?”
“Eh? Stabbing ers, duirl scary Since I don’t knohat she’s gonna do again, I took the needle back and lightly stabbed her white fingertip myself Very soon, a red droplet of blood appeared on Luna’s fingertip Even after wiping the blood away, if you apply pressure to that finger, blood will begin to seep out again The wound isn’t going to close by itself
“It’s not healing… Really?”
“Try asking Viola to heal you Then it’d heal”
“Eh? Etto, Viola, can you fix this?”
“Gi”
Froh the pathway connecting the two While I eneration] unusable, I created a new goleoleeneration
Soertip can be healed in an instant
“What does this olem with the ability to heal your injuries, is what this means Well, as expected, it can’t heal fatal injuries anyh”
It would fix simple wounds easily, but instant death-level injuries are probably beyond it The next time Luna had a hole opened in her stomach, she would die for real
“And, here’s the punishive punishment to the sins of o free and ignore her criht up in order to punish her had just been casted
“With this, you can no longer feel any pleasure fro pain”
“Eh!?”
“Instead of that… ‘Luna, thank you for protecting the Sacred Tree’”
“! Fuwah!? What!? What was that!? It sent shi+vers down my spine!”
Luna’s body treed her own body Uun… This is also pretty disgusting…
