Chapter 17 - Retrial

Third Person POV

"You're all seeing my clan ability for the first time, aren't you? Let me explain: violence is forbidden in this area. You have 3 options: either accept your crimes, object, or lie," Cassien said, and a file appeared in his hand.

He brushed his hair back.

Lord Phenex: "Kid, don't do something you'll regret."

Judgeman spoke: "From the devil council, Lord Zekram Bael has caused domestic abuse, violence, mobbing, and even beat the mother of the person named Sairoarg Bael back in the day."

Zekram Bael didn't blink: "Yes, I did."

"Guilty: confiscation."

Cassien copied his Power of Destruction and, for now, temporarily sealed his powers, making him unable to move there.

He didn't understand why he accepted it, but Cassien still furrowed his brows.

Then Judgeman spoke again: "From the devil council, Lord Belial has decided on the execution of Cleria Belial."

"I object. This was something that had to be done to maintain order in the underworld. If I had rejected her execution, the Belial clan's prestige would have been damaged. Right now, Lord Gremory's son's soft laws are not sufficient to maintain order."

Lord Gremory furrowed his brows: "Hey Belial, why are you bringing the topic to me? If you don't like it, take it to Sirzechs."

"Silent!" Cassien struck the gavel three times, and they fell silent.

Then he cleared his throat: "Sacrifices are truly important to preserve order, but who decides which life will be sacrificed? Is it you or the person themselves? Does your power give you the right to end a life?"

"Power plays a role in this, but I have never killed innocents to achieve my goals. In Cleria Belial's case, I believe I made the most rational decision. This saddens me too, but you're stepping on a nerve, Cassien."

Cassien furrowed his brows: "I'm just presenting my arguments. I didn't say anything about whether you kill innocents or not, but you accepted the execution order of a girl who fell in love, right?"

"I was the one who proposed it…"

Before he could continue, Judgeman spoke again.

"GUILTY: CONFISCATION"

He copied all of his abilities too, and his power was sealed.

Now chains were holding him next to Zekram Bael: "What the hell is going on, Lord Bael?"

"The kid trapped us, and I can't use my abilities, my power is sealed, and so is yours."

Cassien leaned over the stand: "What I want to tell you now is that your clan traits have been copied by me. Lord Bael, Lord Belial, it will be fun to use your clan abilities. If I wanted, I could kill you. Are you wondering why I didn't?"

Lord Phenex grinned: "Because we know that in the underworld, the correct answer is that power is everything, and you openly trapped us. Moreover, in the decision with Lord Belial, the strange spirit entity behind you found the Cleria case to be a pointless trial. Can you tell us about this entity?"

"This is my mutated clan skill. Its name is Judgeman, this shikigami. It knows the crimes you committed in the past and gives me evidence. In this process, 3 decisions can be made. 1-Death Penalty: If this decision is made, it gives me a sword that can completely kill the criminal with even a single scratch. 2-Confiscation: I can choose to take all of someone's power or seal it, or copy it. After this decision is made, they cannot use their magical powers for a while. 3-Imprisonment: With this decision, the person cannot move and is imprisoned."

Cassien didn't mention that items or Sacred Gears could be stolen, but some would theorize it.

Zeoticus furrowed his brows: "Does this mean you copied my Worthless and Power of Destruction? Or did you steal them?"

"I copied them. If I had stolen from you, after the trial, the rest of you would do everything to kill me, and I would become guilty. I'm not a murderer, I'm a lawyer."

But Zekram Bael started laughing like crazy from there: "HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA PERFECT!!! THERE IS A PERFECT DEVIL IN FRONT OF ME! WHILE SAIROARG DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THIS POWER YET, SOMEONE ELSE COPIED IT!!!"

"Right? That kid is perfect," said Belial.

Cleria was in shock there and was waiting for execution: "KILL ME! AFTER MY LOVER, THERE IS NO MEANING IN LIVING!"

Cassien took a step, and the domain was released; everyone was freed.

BAMMMM

He struck the gavel on Cleria's head, and Cleria's face slammed into the ground.

"This girl's living is the greatest punishment for her. Now, with your permission, I'm taking this girl," Cassien said, lifted Cleria, and disappeared from there.

Lord Belial only knew this kid was strong, but he didn't know his talent was something like this.

That's why he didn't show his clan ability…

"It's a real shame this kid didn't accept Ravel," said Lord Phenex.

But Lord Gremory touched his shoulder: "He's friends with my daughter, so give up."

"Hm, I don't think he's interested. He's probably interested in your wife… In the letter he sent me, he said he's interested in those over 18, and the youngest he can go for is 17. He even sent an article about MILF superiority."

Zeoticus put his hand on his chin: "Could be… I haven't been with Venelana for 16 years. Anyway, my son is Lucifer, and my daughter has the Gremory inheritance right. Besides, if she leaves, I could be with more girls."

"You're a bastard, Zeoticus," said Lord Phenex.

They talked a little among themselves, and then everyone returned to their places.
