The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 823 - Arena



Chapter 823 Arena

My red short sword was decorated with silver runes of light. It was double-edged, but both edges were so blunt that it would be impossible to even cut vegetables with them.

A statue of a silver masked figure served as the sword’s hilt.

He held a gavel in one hand, representing judgement of evil, and a silver balance in the other hand, representing the equality between the crime and the punishment. The chain at his waist held a codex representing the Original Codex of Law, the source of all Law.

These weren’t the original God Equipment, but as representations and with the sword creator’s special identity, this short sword in a way had also become Wumianzhe’s incarnation.

“Judgement, Vengeance.”

Wumianzhe’s figure faintly arose from the sword. Whenever this God representing Judgement and Law appeared, he would judge all crimes before him.

Wumianzhe’s eyes, which contained no self-will, locked onto all existences before him without a single trace of emotion.

What did it feel like to be stared at by yourself? It definitely wouldn’t feel good to be judged by yourself.

“Guilty.”

The moment that he slammed his gavel, I felt pain in my chest as a piercing pain went through my heart. I was unable to swallow all the blood I spat up, likely making my mouth quite bloody. Without needing to even look, just the pain from my limbs made me realize that my blood and flesh were flying everywhere and that I was seriously injured.

However, I was still able to laugh because Karwenz, who was right in front of me, was even more seriously injured!

The tall demon’s left hand was already cut off. His black magic sword was covered in cracks. It must have been a special weapon connected to his body. Everything below his right knee was completely missing. His entire body was covered in injuries and holes from his blood and flesh being torn off.

Any ordinary person would have died long ago in such circumstances.

Karwenz was torn and tattered all over, yet he still managed to vaguely maintain a humanoid shape, sort of like a broken doll that had been forcefully put back together again using glue. If it wasn’t for the fact that Karwenz had the power level of a Chaos Main God, this one attack would have been more than enough to kill him.

But, this was only the beginning…

Law Sword Vengeance continued to float in the air. Wumianzhe’s gaze remained fixed on the two “sinners”. Wumianzhe was currently analyzing our crimes. The next judgement would be even more fatal.

This was the first of two functions from my Law Sword Vengeance. The moment that the judge declared the court to be in session, the accused suspects would have all their crimes analyzed, and the judge would then immediately issue judgement and punishment.

There was no doubt that both I and Karwenz had committed so many crimes that it would give us the death penalty countless times. But, also as I had expected, the power of Law also obeyed the natural elemental laws. For the power of Law to take effect, it would naturally need to clash against the target’s own power.

Would the power of Law be able to instantly kill a Main God? I never even thought about it before. Being able to injure Karwenz to such an extent was already more than what I had expected. This was a soul-level judgement, and when the soul was injured, the physical body would be injured as well.

Currently, since Karwenz was forcibly keeping his physical body together after being torn apart, his soul was naturally torn apart as well.

“Ha, Karwenz, it seems that your crimes are far more serious than mine.”

The most basic foundation of how the power of Law worked was that the more serious the crimes, the stronger the power of Law would become.

In a way, I was thankful for the soul judgement I received from Wumianzhe when he ascended to Godhood. Wumianzhe also worked with the concept of not letting any crime be judged twice, which meant that my misdeeds back when I was Yongye weren’t even considered by him. Otherwise, it would be quite difficult to say for certain that my crimes were much lighter than Karwenz’s.

My current crimes were basically the accumulation of all I had done in the past 10 years. A good portion of my crimes would actually be the slaughter I just committed right here. Without this slaughter, I likely wouldn’t have even reached the level of requiring a death penalty. As for Karwenz… without even needing to use a Law Incantation, I could see that his soul was stained with so many crimes that it was almost black instead of dark red.

But if I died before Karwenz did, since my Law Sword Vengeance was being maintained by my own power, Vengeance would naturally disappear, making me the biggest joke of the year. I would probably have my nickname changed from the “Undying” to “The One Who Committed Suicide”.

“This is only the beginning.”

One minute passed. The execution of the criminals had yet to be completed, so the next round of punishment began.

Wumianzhe’s incarnation’s eyes flashed with silver light as he slammed his gavel down once again.

“Guilty.”

This time, I spat up even more blood. However, I was delighted to see that a large hole appeared on Karwenz’s neck as even more of his flesh and blood was sent flying. Blood spurted out from this hole unstoppably.

“Ha, every judgement takes twice as long, but the damage will also be doubled each time. How many rounds can you persist for, Karwenz?”

However, what happened next was beyond my expectations.

Karwenz remained silent for once after being seriously injured. He suddenly waved his hand and caused numerous tattered souls to arise from all the demon corpses around us. He immediately tugged those souls over to him for his absorption.

“…Damn it, the demon ability to devour souls.”

Devouring flesh, blood, and souls to heal oneself was a common ability for demons. Naturally, I wouldn’t sit back and watch him heal himself. But, when I prepared to get close to attack him, I tripped and fell over in a pool of blood because I hadn’t noticed that everything below my knee was already completely broken and crushed.

Karwenz instantly completed his soul absorption. His collapsing physical body stabilized. Still, I laughed as I watched this while barely managing to raise my head.

“Foolish. Soul absorption is also a serious crime. Your next judgement will be even more fatal.”

“…You die and I will live.”

Karwenz’s words were simple and succinct, yet they meant that he had seen through everything already. As long as he could kill me before the next judgement, my Law Sword Vengeance would naturally stop taking effect.

“No, there’s actually an even simpler method.”

Karwenz instead suddenly turned around and started to leave. This was actually the biggest headache of all for me to deal with.

My Law Sword Vengeance was automated and obviously couldn’t move. It also had no ability to restrict a person’s movements. It would be easy to walk out of its area of effect to choose a new battlefield. Karwenz, a veteran of countless battles, had instantly seen through the weakness of my Law Sword.

Naturally, I could have added a power of restriction to my Law Sword when creating it, but adding more different powers would have only diluted and greatly weakened the overall strength of this sword.

In order to obtain power strong enough to kill a Main God, the only special effect I created my Law Sword with was the ability to reflect one’s own crimes upon the perpetrator.

Even though Karwenz had seen through my Law Sword’s weakness, I was naturally prepared for this as I had never designed my Law Sword to be used alone to begin with…

“Come, Ice Sword Northlands!”

Even though we had been inside the lowest level of the Chaos Abyss, the scenery here instantly changed to dark clouds and a snowstorm as snow started to rapidly pile up on the ground at a visible rate.

Even Karwenz paused in surprise for a moment when the ice and snow began to fall. Perhaps he never thought that he would experience the weather of the Northlands here.

I carefully controlled my arena of ice and snow, and successfully brought Karwenz’s altar to open the dimensional barrier into this battlefield as well.

The Northlands’ weather calamities likely wouldn’t be that effective against us, but when considering the Northlands’ history, I was quite confident in the Northlands weather’s destructive force against buildings.

Only after I trapped us in this ice arena would it also be possible to activate the second ability of my Law Sword.

“Now, it’s a battle of attrition to see who can last the longest.”
