Gotham City was shrouded in thick fog, and the night air always carried the scent of kerosene. Most of the buildings had a particularly bizarre Gothic style.
Jerry stood atop a clock tower.
"Eye of Investigation!"
At once, a basketball-sized eye slowly appeared high above Gotham City, with a red cross at its center.
Eye of Investigation was a spell invented by Erza's mother, Irene. As its name implied, it could investigate everything happening within a certain range.
Jerry had yet to recover his strength, so he could not create an eye as large as a city to observe everything throughout Gotham City. Still, its current size was enough.
"As expected of Gotham City."
Controlling the Eye of Investigation to swiftly scan the area around the clock tower, Jerry quickly discovered more than a dozen crimes in progress.
Theft, robbery, rape, trafficking, gang shootouts—Gotham City was quite lively at night.
He leaped down from the tower, landed lightly on a nearby rooftop, and turned into a bolt of lightning in the darkness. The righteous cat began sweeping away Gotham's darkness.
"Petrification Curse!"
"Stupefy!"
"Arrow Shooting Spell!"
"Serpensortia!"
For those whose crimes were not too serious, Jerry simply used the Petrification Curse and Stunning Spell. For those whose offenses were already severe enough that he considered them deserving of death, he used the Arrow Shooting Spell and Serpensortia.
The Killing Curse and Sectumsempra would actually have been better, but they consumed too much magic power and were unsuitable for his current situation.
The Arrow Shooting Spell and Serpensortia consumed far less magic power by comparison.
More importantly, those criminals were all ordinary people. He did not need particularly powerful spells to deal with them. Especially since he was currently a cat—even if they saw him, they would not be on guard.
