No one responded to the heavenly magician after his latest threat. He grabbed the handle of the dagger and slit the girl's body until her guts came out, from the horror of the situation and from the intensity of the pain, she fainted.

The wound continued to bleed, forming a pool of blood on the tiles, and the blood mixed with the waste that seeped from her bowels, which had been torn by the dagger.

'Does any of you have an objection to the execution? You can complain and you'll follow her if that's what you want.'

Brooke, who had previously an endless pride when he spoke to Albus, did not lift a finger in the face of Maximus, who did not hesitate to kill even for a moment. He did not understand the reason for this execution in front of everyone; he could have killed her secretly as if it were accidental. He saw that there was a hidden purpose behind this bloody show.

'To be honest, you killing her has nothing to do with me. But what's your purpose behind this show?'

'So one of you realized that there was a hidden purpose behind all of this. I have two goals: the first is to tighten control, the second is to completely purge the elite of the continent to avoid any problems with the plan we talked about earlier.'

The situation has become very dangerous for everyone, as the assassin he had previously caught was an assassin at a level equivalent to the summit of the seventh star. Even if the opponent is a knight of the eighth star, he will not come out completely intact from such a confrontation.

Most of those present have already realized that the man standing in front of them is not an adversary who can be easily tampered with. His actions are atypical and unpredictable as it is not possible to determine the criteria on which he will cleanse the elite. Someone might get killed if he does not like their faces, if he is moody.

"This was not part of the plan we agreed upon. Is he really crazy or is he a deceit?"

Even his comrades who came with him are still shocked by the horror of the previous scene. Public execution out of nowhere?

'Do we start the process or does one of you have another word?'

'This is unjust, you want to execute people out of nowhere and we know nothing about your standards of judging others. You must be punished.'

Maximus closed his hand and the man's head exploded instantaneously, smearing a two meters radius.

'Count Bennett, a seven circles wizard and member of the Continental Sorcerers Council. He is charged with kidnapping, assassination, sorcery and human sacrifices to treat his internal injuries. The number of victims is 67 in total. Are there any objections to execution?'

An attendee asked how reliable and correct this information previously stated by Maximus was.

'Just out of curiosity, I would like to ask you how reliable this information is.'

'I am the source of the information and I gathered it myself. Its reliability is guaranteed.'

Maximus answered him immediately and then burned the body next to him with black fire and nothing is left, even bones and ashes. He repeated the same with the corpse of the wizard Count and then stretched out his hands towards the audience.

'Some of you who believe in excessive justice may wonder that this is too cruel and we should give the person a chance to atone for their sins. People are always changing for better or worse, but that does not mean you can change the nature of garbage. Garbage is destined to die in the most horrible ways.'

Maximus was not wrong in any way but it does not mean that he was right. Everyone has his ways of carrying out justice after all, even if not everyone will accept it; that does not negate the possibility of its validity.

'Is leaving the likes of that bastard alive acceptable? Will this bring his victims back to life? He has to pay for his mistakes after all.'

Brooke interrupted the hesitation of those people after expressing his support to the Heavenly magician's method, albeit cruel, euthanasia would not spread the terror that prevents others from committing the same crime.

Maximus continued to execute criminals disguised as heroes and messengers of justice in gruesome ways that the heart could not witness and then turn the corpse into ashes and ashes into nothing with a burning black fire that overwhelms all physical bodies.

Of the criminals, only one remained. He was not an ordinary criminal; he was the main event of the executions and the reason behind everything that happened. Duke Hayden in public and 'Triton' the head of the Blood Moon organization in secret. The organization with the worst reputation on the continent, most notorious for assassinations, robberies and other immoral acts. And also the boss of the girl who targeted Maximus previously and who pushed him to do such things.

'Ladies and gentlemen, one criminal remains in attendance. None of you will expect his identity, even if all previous crimes come together, half of his crimes will not even be described.'

Duke Hayden has not shown the slightest suspicious behavior until now, thinking that it would save his worn life from the gruesome death knocking on his door. He thought for a moment that his immense power as a knight would save him from his doomed fate, as he is one of the ten most powerful knights on the continent. After seeing what has happened so far, he is sure that he will not be able to get out intact even if he tries to.

"The worst fate that awaits me is death, the best one is to survive after losing an arm and with incurable injuries and I will become the public enemy of all the mighty of the continent. Isn't there a better fate?"

Maximus moved behind him instantaneously and whispered in his ear.

'No, there is no better fate than quick death and you won't even get it.'

Hayden was surprised and tried to move quickly to escape Maximus' grip that stretched towards him to grab him. He managed to avoid being caught and jumped as fast as he could towards the entrance to escape the reaper who had placed his attention on him.

In the air, before his feet even touched the ground, he was punched in the face and then kicked in the stomach that threw him on his back towards the floor at breakneck speed.

'What happened? What hit me?'

'Your bad luck is hitting you for meeting me, it is not a personal grudge so do not take it seriously in your next life.'

Gold chains appeared out of nowhere and tied him in place, kneeling down, unable to resist.

Firmly fastened with gold chains, he did not even try to resist, as its ability was to seal both mana and physical strength and turn the victim into a completely normal person.

'What is the best way to execute this heinous criminal?'

'Won't you tell us his crimes at least to sentence him?'

Maximus struck his right fist in his left palm and then answered Brock's question.

'You're right; I won't even need to tell you about his crimes. The mere mention of his identity is enough to execute him twenty times. This duke Hayden is also Triton, president and founder of the notorious Blood Moon organization to which the girl who tried to assassinate me belonged earlier. No need for more detailed explanation.'

The criminal with the worst reputation in the last hundred years was one of the most powerful people on the continent and in plain sight of everyone as well. The magician wanted to confirm his identity to everyone, so he took out a crystal ball the size of a nut and raised his hand high so that everyone could see it clearly.

'I'm sure most of you know what this crystal ball is. Crystal of achievements, one of the creations of magic and magical engineering and able to evaluate a person's achievements, whether good or evil. Do we try to see the result of our dear friend here?'

After Maximus set the target, the color of the ball changed from transparent to bloody red with a single black line in the middle...
