405 Dwarf Kingdoms Prison (1/2)

The Dwarf Kingdom's prison was the most secure place in the whole kingdom and since it was created no one had managed to escape from there.

The only ones who left were as corpses or as slaves bought by people outside the country.

However, the buyers of the slaves hadn't visited the prison since the Death God appeared, and the innocent people getting incriminated and kidnapped continued to grow, so the number of prisoners was quite huge.

The prison was huge, but it started to show that if they continued at the same pace, it would be full soon.

The king had thought of making reforms to increase its size, but the materials capable of block Laws were too scarce and expensive, so the king needed to forget about that idea.

He didn't dare to use materials that didn't block the Laws because if someone managed to escape, it would be a huge problem since the truth about the inhumane conditions that the prisoners had would be revealed.

Moreover, once one was free, it wouldn't be difficult to freed others in the area without restriction of laws and with enough people, rescuing the rest was also possible.

The worst scenario for the king would be that his brother was released and explained the truth to the masses.

Although he was stronger than his brother, without playing tricks as he did before, it would be a long battle and capturing him alive would be almost impossible.

If his brother fled and joined another country in exchange for revenge, the Dwarf kingdom would suffer a lot, and probably it would disappear from the world.

However, the king couldn't kill his brother because that could provoke that other countries decided to attack the Dwarf Kingdom, so he had been waiting for someone else to become a Law God before stealthy killing his brother in prison.

There were ten guards in front of the single door of the prison, and all of them were at the Sage Rank, so it was quite a big deterrent for any attacker. Moreover, it was well known that there were two Law Masters inside the prison as supervisors and that in case of alarm, all the royal guards would appear there immediately.

The guards were static which anyone would consider that was part of their formality, but that was far from being true because anyone who looked them properly would see that they weren't living beings, but ice statues.

However, since it was quite difficult that someone went near the prison, no one noticed about that.

Moreover, the focus of everyone was in the mysterious person who killed his way into the royal palace, so no one thought about the prison.

The ice statues were identical to the real guards, but they were starting to melt, which would provoke clear differences with the real ones after a while.

Of course, they were melting because Lina wanted to happen. Those weren't statues that she created imitating the guards because she transformed the real guards into living ice statues letting them suffer while their bodies slowly melt under the sun.

The living ice statues couldn't move, speak, or use Spiritual Sense, so no one would notice that they were real people unless one had enough mastery in the Water Essence.

Lina used that method a lot to punish others, and she had seen that sometimes, the allies of the ice statues broke those statues on rage, which was equivalent to killing the people converted in ice statues. They were going to die anyway, but Lina would undo the ice transformation when someone broke the statues to destroy mentally the one who did it.

The interior of the prison had turned into an ice hell where all the guards including those two Law Masters suffered the same fate as the ones outside.

The ice broke the jails of the prisoners and Lina controlled the Water Essence to avoid that the ice affected those inside the cells. Even without jails, the prisoners didn't dare to leave fearing the ice outside.

Moreover, no one knew who Lina was, so they were afraid that she would also kill them.

”I don't care about your crimes, but the one who put you all into the jail is already dead, so you are free now.”

Lina didn't know if Yale had already killed the king or was still toying with him because the area of the royal palace became an area that even an Essence God couldn't spy since it was covered with the fearsome aura of the one with the highest authority in the world.

No one except the Mysterious Expert could spy what Yale was doing, but that served as a deterrent to other countries to use the chance to attack since they feared that aura. Of course, that was Yale's intention when he used that aura to block the perception of outsiders.
