Justitia wakes up among the trees, she hasn't felt this terrible in...forever. Granted, Justitia has only been alive for 3 days, but to her that is forever. Her once soft wings have gotten bloodied, she has many small cuts, her arm was taken clean off, and worst of all she lost the scales. To make matters worse, it is nighttime. However, justice must still be served, with or without a guide. Justitia lifts herself to her feet using the plasma cutter, at least she didn't lose that too...somehow.
Just as she prepares to move on, a few drops of water fall on the soil in front of her. That's weird, water isn't supposed to just fall out of the sky. Justitia looks for the source of the water, only to find that the trail leads to... her blindfold. It appears water is appearing from her eyes, and some of it has slipped past her blindfold, which was luckily undamaged. She tightens the blindfold around her eyes, that should keep the water at bay. Just to make sure, she inspects the little water droplets.
[Angel Tears]
[These are the tears of an [Angel], they are commonly used as an important ingredient in high-lvl mana potions. Due to these tears coming from [Last Angel], their potency is drastically increased to the point of becoming [Rare].]
Tears? Justitia barely knows what they are, what little she does know is that they aren't related to justice. She thinks of how she would find sinners to purge now. Until she comes to a realization, the sinners that attacked her are still alive, and they had an enemy to the east. Is that enemy part of the righteous? She doesn't know, but she does know that if they are sinners, she will deal with it.
*Grumble*
And hopefully, they have some tasty snacks to eat for Justitia. She has an arm to grow back after all. Do angels grow back their arms? Justitia doesn't know, she's never lost an arm before... until now. Perhaps the potential-sinners in the east know stuff that could help Justitia in her path of justice. Like alternative ways of identifying sinners, or finding more of those tough brown bars. Right now however, Justitia feels a gnawing on her stomach. She tries to bite into several things nearby, checking to see if they are edible. So far, she has taken a bit out of bark, leaves, a rock, a brown mushroom (tasty), and a red mushroom with white dots. She's pretty sure the last one was evil, since she had a cramped stomach for a while after eating that one.
From that point onward, Justitia slowly eats her way eastward. Except the evil mushrooms, they get dusted by experimental welding equipment. If she were to rate all the foods she ate, she wouldn't mind eating bark, while not very tasty, it does crunch nicely in her mouth. The rock was very hard, and she could only barely bite through it. The brown mushrooms taste like stretched out Gummy Bears, and while the red mushrooms don't taste bad, they are evil and must be destroyed.
That is, until she hears gigglins strange voices from a nearby hole in the ground, are there little sinners hiding out here? To Justitia's utter shock, her innocent thoughts about bringing sinners to justice are halted by a spear being thrown at her, unfortunately for the thrower, she hasn't nearly lost enough strength for a flimsy stick to make its way through. When she lights up the dark hole, she sees inummerable small green creatures inside of the hole. They have long ears, and long teeth. Their noses are big as well, and Justitia goes to judge them.

Except she gets nothing, because she forgot she lost the scales again, how will she judge them now? The creatures screech at her, and Justitia doesn't know what to do. They did throw a spear, they attacked her. She is a pure innocent being, but remembering the poor spider that got punched by the sinful child, she knows that's not reason to become sinful since the child gained no sin from that. They are however, obstructing justice from doing what needs to be done, which is go to that patch of brown mushrooms over there, and eat more of the non-evil mushrooms.
Clearly these green things are in league with the red mushrooms! They are evil too! Justitia quickly tries to blast them with light magic, but finds that she is still too weak to cast anything at the evil little thing, that's fine, she's out of mana, not options. She jumps into the dark pit, and slash wide with her blade, normally that is a terrible move in close quarters, but lady justice's sword tolerates no obstruction. The pit is slashed along with the goblins, the pieces of the pit slashed by the blade turn into a thick burning goo, and some of it lands on other goblins. Lava, and Justitia managed to avoid getting burned by it due to her natural protections still working. The goblins are not so lucky, and scream out in pain as they melt away under the liquid fire. Some try to run, but Justitia tolerates no runners, and moves to hunt them down.
As she chases them in further, she finds a large open cave, the underground here is built to resemble a village. The houses are dug into every surface, and there are patches of mushrooms dotting the underground area being tended to by goblins. Justitia thinks of the previous sinners, they lived in a settlement too, and she can easily recognize this as a settlement. She thinks fast, if she is to destroy this settlement, she will need to do so fast, before too many sinners escape through various tunnels scattered about. Justitia looks to the mushroom farms, she needs to eat, sinners have food, that means sinners need to eat. This settlement was also built with a purpose, a purpose that helps sinners. Justitia looks to her plasma cutter, and then to the ceiling of the cavern. That would work.
Flying upwards, Justitia begins to carve up the ceiling, bombarding the settlement below in burning goo. Fires start, as anything made out of wood quickly begins to burn up, and the cavern itself begins to heat up. As the ceiling melts and weakens, rocks begin to fall down on the running sinners below, very few attempt to shoot arrows at her to no avail. Anyone who thought winged creatures are at a disadvantage under the ground were proven wrong today, Justitia begins to face problems with the collapsing cave, and decides to head to the main exit. Due to the main exit being far enough away from the rest of the settlement, it remains relatively unscathed, but Justitia will allow no escape. She runs out of the exit, while holding the plasma cutter high. As the device tears into the ceiling, the main exit itself too starts to collapse.
Justitia steps out of the pit, which is no longer as dark as it used to be. The pit now glows below, and a large amount of heat originates from it, if you listen closely, you still hear the echo's of screaming goblins below. Justitia is satisfied with her handiwork, more sinners have been punished today, and she moves further towards the potential anti-sinners.
Not before picking up those brown mushrooms she saw, they don't taste so bad.
