    The sounds of bones cracking and the screams of hundreds of crows sprouted deep fear in the people of Justice Town. With the screams of a child screaming of danger waking them up from their deep slumber, all the men and women grabbed steel pots and pans to protect themselves and defend their children.


    Yet what they saw when they left their soft beds seemed to be from hell. All the townspeople of Justice Town saw looks of panic in each eye of each other as they saw a massive pir of fire outside their Town.


    The pir of red mes cut through the darkness as the heat of the night as the heat from the mes mmed into everyone''s faces. Above the mes was a single giant dark cloud that seemed to be from the depths of hell as it was made of crazy Three-Eyed Crows whose caws were filled with pain and fear.


    This scene was nothing but nightmare fuel for all the townspeople of Justice Town as they greatly feared that the Three-Eyed Crows would leave their dark cloud and attack them. Fortunately, there seemed to be an invisible, imprable barrier protecting the Town whenever a Three-Eyed Crow would leave the dark cloud formation and head towards the Town with insanity filling their blood-red eyes.


    They would not be able to get far before something mysterious would scare them and force them to turn around. As for those who hadpletely lost their minds and continued to attack the Town, they would suddenly die and be plucked out of the sky by a gigantic beast covered in blood armor.


    The blood beast moved at incredibly fast speeds that no ordinary person could see it make a move, so most people only saw the crazy crows just disappear. Only a few people who have been hunters in the past or martial artists who were interested in this new Town could see a blurry red sh before disappearing.


    As all of the townspeople of Justice Town felt their brains tingling from fear, some were courageous enough to slowly walk to the entrance to take a closer look at what was happening. When they arrived, they saw that standing in front of the entrance was the board back of their mayor, who had his arms crossed as he watched the scene.


    "Mayor Lucien, what have you seen so far?"


    Seeing that Lucien, who had been the one who lifted and guided the Town to its current size, was standing by the entrance before anyone else caused many of the townspeople to feel their shoulders slightly rxed. As their trust in Lucien''s knowledge of the world was much vaster than their own, to see that there wasn''t an ounce of panic on his face caused the townspeople to calm down.


    "This is an attack from one of the Gods of Evil, in particr, it is the God of Death and Terror who has found out that our glorious town is being graced with the God of Justice and wants to destroy us," Lucien said without any hesitation or doubt in his voice.


    Lucien''s words were filled with so much conviction and certainty that all the townspeople didn''t doubt his words and quickly spread the news. Within less than an hour, everyone in the Town and the caravan heard that a god was attacking them.


    "Oh God of Eternal Justice! Please protect us from this evil god who loves to torment all creatures of this world!"


    "What do we do!? Do we stay inside the Town or evacuate!?"


    "Are you mad!? Where are we going to go? The God of Death and Terror is attacking us! We can only stay in the Town and hope that Eternal Justice will smack down all the attempts from these evil gods!"


    The news that a god was attacking the Town spread like wildfire and caused the townspeople to feel goosebumps all over their bodies, but they still believed it. Even the traveling merchants who had seen many things felt inclined to believe Lucien''s words as there was no exnation for how this act of god could happen.


    With panic and questions filling the Town, many people rushed to ask Lucien to answer their questions, but he remained silent until arge crowd of people had formed around him. With his face covered in sweat from the intense heat of the pir of mes, he slowly answered all the questions that came his way with one exnation filled with faith.


    "Don''t panic; Eternal Justice knew these evil gods would never stop trying to squash him. So he has blessed a schr from the outside world whose heart was filled with nothing but love and Justice with a mission to protect and guide all those who believe in Justice."


    "This schr is known as the Schr of Burning Justice and is protecting our Town from this attack. So no matter how much the God of Death and Terror tries to destroy the Town, it will not fall." Lucien''s eyes shed as he stared at the tall back of an elegant schr wearing a ck and gold suit.


    "A schr is protecting us? Where is this schr?"


    Simr questions flew around the townspeople before someone noticed a tall, elegant figure standing before the massive pir of me with only a ck cane in his hands. The people of the Town were shocked as they could only imagine the amount of heat radiating the elegant schr was being mmed with as they were struggling to even endure the heating to the entrance of the Town.


    What was more impressive in the eyes of the townspeople was that they truly began to believe that the elegant schr was the one controlling the mes as they noticed that the Three-Eyed Crows that the God of Death and Terror hired were falling into the pir of fire and being burned to ash.


    "The fires of Justice are the hottest in the world and can cause all creatures who have done injustice to others to turn into ash. Eternal Justice is great! The Schr of Burning Justice is great! Mayor Lucien is blessed!"


    No one knew who started this chant, but it spread through the townspeople as it expressed their feelings. So, like a wave, the voices of every child, man, and woman in Justice Town shouted the chant with pride.
