Probably due to the form of the pit, the area lacked any form of illumination. Falling from the extreme high only the wind passing by Hiro's skin told him he was falling. When the transmigrator looked up he saw the hole getting smaller and smaller like a ball of light flying away at great speeds.
- Alert: Insanity [E] Lvl 2 has suppressed the panic response of the host's autonomic nervous system -
'Shit! I'm going to die from this height. I need to move!'
Hiro then took a small marble from a small pouch on his waist. He used both hands to ensure the contents didn't spill. He then quickly placed the marble into his mouth and swallowed it.
- Alert: [Cat's Eyes] enchantment has been cast to the Host. Night vision granted for 24 hours. -
- Alert: [Sight Beyond Vision] activated, Enchantment moved from host to skill. [Cat's Eyes] duration can now be used in installments, blink three times to toggle. -
After blinking three times, the entire world illuminated for Hiro, he could see the scenery changing as they fell. Rilu was eagle spread and had her eyes closed. Gideon floated beside her like a knight intent on protecting his princess.
The transmigrator then quickly looked down to assess how far they were from the bottom. He saw what appeared like giant lizards below them. They all were carrying spears and looked at them as the pair fell. Hiro drew his weapon if only to gain some sense of security. The man then tried to 'Swim' closer to Rilu.
-Alert: Reality Invoked: [Steel blades bow down to no one], Skill [Strength Derived from Pride] activated! All stats + 40! -
"Rilu, the hole is too large, we are too far from the edges. We are about 200 meters from the ground. There are giant bipedal lizards below us armed with spears there are close to 5000 of them."
A by-product of increased AGI and INT gave rise to the ability to perform quick maths no matter how mathematically inept a person was. With [Sight beyond Vision] Hiro gained the movie skill of accurately counting thousands just from sight alone.
Impressed Rilu smiled in the darkness as she moved closer to her ally. "Hiro-sama is really full of surprises. From your description, they sound like dragsaurians. We talked about them in the carriage. Weak to Ice due to being reptiles and gains both momentum and power from their tails acting as counterweights."
Rilu then exuded an insane amount of Spirit power from her body as she smiled. "Hiro-sama, please give me the honor of serving as the vanguard. I will show you my worth by executing these overgrown lizards."
The woman then went delta to increase her falling speed. Gideon similarly increased his descent and moved in front of her like a bulwark. Rilu's voice rang out in the darkness its heroism sounded like something from movies.
"[SCALES OF JUSTICE] - I CONDEMN ANYONE WHO MURDERED THE CITIZENS OF THE PEAK!"
Her clear voice generated shockwaves made from Spirit power. The woman then arched her body back like a bow and poised her scythe to strike.
When the shockwaves Rilu generated reached Hiro, the transmigrator received notifications one after another.
- Alert: Host has entered the domain of the Venator of Truth! Lying shall come at a great expense so long as the domain remains active -
- Alert: Skill [Scales Of Justice] invokes inquisition "Did you kill the citizens of the Peak?" Guilt will result in a 50% reduction in HP and Calibers. -
Suddenly aware this became the first time Hiro saw the young women used her abilities. He marveled at Rilu's skill. [Scales of Justice] invoked judgment for her questions. It gave penalties for guilt but remained harmless for the innocent.
He then surmised that the biggest issue became the truthfulness of the individual. But what would happen if you lied in the domain of the personification of truth? You either accept a penalty from Rilu or accept the punishment from Gideon.
No wonder he sought her out. It was like they were a match made in heaven! The dragsaurians who felt the shockwaves had a large number of the lizards suddenly collapsed to the ground. For any entity in Valorious, HP represented life. If it was halved by one attack of course you would get weakened.
However, when Hiro checked, some didn't even get to collapse. They instead started to disintegrate into dust like the infamous snap from a superhero movie on earth.
'Holy shit, so you either say the truth and get your HP and calibers halved or lie and dissolve into nothingness. This pair is too fucking monstrous!'
Gideon then landed with a superhero landing on a couple of dragsaurians. Their bodies immediately exploded like meat bags that overflowed. Rilu then reached the ground in the same second as she roared.
"[REVENGE OF THE DAMNED]!" The young devoted then slammed her scythe to the ground with so much force the ground erupted like a volcano. Oil-like fluids went forth from the cracks and coated the giant lizards like a tentacled octopus. The monsters who were still recovering from the debuffs were not able to mount any meaningful resistance.
The oil acted like it had a mind of its own and strangled the monsters by the necks or tied their arms and legs together! Rilu's strike practically decimated the footing causing the monsters to all fall and pile up onto one another.
Yet Rilu continued her assault. Her voice and powerful visage called to her stalwart knight! "GIDEON! CLEANSING FLAMES!" Gideon, who was violently slashing some dragsaurians stopped his movements and placed his sword in front of his face.
The front portion of his face manifested a small gate like before. If previously the Venator threw souls in it in haste. This time it remained open, as it did behind the silent knight a larger version of the portal opened. The flames inside could be seen ravaging each other like waves in a turbulent storm at sea.
Like horses allowed to run after a long while, the fires quickly rushed outside of the portal similar to hurricanes made of orange wind. The flames slammed into the oil-coated lizards in full force. Unable to withstand the attack's power, the weaker lizards all melted in the fires. The stronger ones tried to fight back only to be carried away.
The light from the fires was so blinding Hiro shut his eyes in panic. No wonder Rilu never opened her eyes. This was their intent all along! After a few seconds, the portal closed and Rilu and Gideon stood back to back with weapons drawn. The woman uttered in a voice without emotion.
"I have seen your sins you vile monsters. As the Justice Enforcer, I shall now take your lives as recompense."
