Yō tilted her head as she asked Jack.
But Jack shook his Pumpkin Head.
“Escape is only a short term solution. At least for all the people here, it would seem that we all meet the criteria for the Punishment conditions.”
“……eh?”
“Kasukabe-san, do you have a Gift card on you? If you have, please take it out to have a look at it.”
“O…Okay.”
Yō hurriedly took out the pearl emerald Gift Card from her pocket to take a look.
Upon seeing it, she was momentarily stumped for words.
“The card……seems to have a text that I’ve not seen before…?”
“That is the [Punishment Notification]. Participants who have met the criteria of the Host’s punishment conditions will have the Flag of the Host carved onto the Geass Roll and Gift Card.”
Jack took out his Geass Roll and pointed at the Punishment(s) section.
Punishment(s):
*A time limit will be imposed upon all the participants who have targeted and fought against the leader of the game.
*The time limit will be a continuous time loop that occurs every ten days.
*The choice of punishment will be chosen randomly from [Impaling], [Crucifixion], and [Immolation].
*The only way to be freed of the punishment would be to clear the game or during a pause in the game.
*#The death of the participant is not included within the conditions to be freed from the punishment and they will continue to suffer indefinitely.
“……? Bu……But, I’ve not fought with the game leader……against Leticia.”
“But the reality is that we have already met the criteria for the punishment. So, there can only be one possibility.”
Jack replied in a solemn tone and Yō finally realized.
If the huge dragon was the Game leader…… Then fighting with its clones would still count towards the fulfilling of the conditions.
“……That huge dragon is Leticia?”
“No idea. But there’s one thing I’m sure of.”
Jack turned his Pumpkin head towards the stormy skies that surrounded the Ancient Citadel as he gazed upon it with the flickering flames in the hollows.
“If we are unable to defeat the [Draculea Demon Lord]……Then ten days later, this place will be drenched in a storm of blood. For we would be impaled as recorded in the legends.”
