CHAPTER 223: THAT STINGY, PETTY VIBE RIGHT THERE

At the same time.

Inside the church, Raven and Black Skull gazed solemnly at the Mayor across from them. Raven spoke gravely:

"I've already told you the full situation. Whether you believe it or not, he will definitely come here, and under the curse's influence, no one knows what outrageous things he might do."

After hearing Raven's explanation, the faces of all the townsfolk present turned deathly pale.

The Mayor furrowed his brows tightly and said:

"So you're saying you want to borrow our Holy Relic to help that Doctor Lynn?"

Raven said hoarsely: "Any sacred object containing Holy Power is an effective remedy against curses. We are Night Doctors—we cannot simply abandon any cursed individual. So we need your help."

The Mayor looked troubled.

Because the Holy Relic was almost their only remaining connection to this world.

If anything were to go wrong...

All their efforts over the past hundred years would be completely wasted.

Seeing his hesitation, Raven continued persuading, narrowing his eyes: "I think you indeed have some misunderstandings about us Night Doctors, but you must understand, we have no aversion to the Sacred World. In a certain sense..."

"Our main leader was actually an ally of your Sacred World in the past."

Upon hearing this, the Mayor trembled all over.

He stared at the Night Doctor before him with shocked eyes, momentarily unable to speak a single word.

His face turned slightly pale as he said: "May I ask who your main leader is..."

Raven narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

He slowly reached into his chest and pulled out a metal pendant.

On that pendant was carved a twelve-winged inverted angel bound by countless chains.

Instantly.

The surroundings fell into complete silence.

The Mayor stared in shock at the bound angel pendant, his lips murmuring, almost instinctively taking a step back.

His face turned deathly pale from the shock.

"Twelve-winged Holy Angel... Could it be..."

He murmured.

Remembering those ancient murals from the previous era in the Sacred World.

Angels falling into hell one by one, the entire sky burning blood-red, countless eyes gazing down upon all living beings, chains dragging gods into the eternal night of purgatory.

And in those ancient legends.

The twelve-winged Holy Angel was one of the twelve Ancient Gods they had once worshipped.

He shuddered violently.

His gaze fell on the lenses of Raven's mask, staring directly into his eyes.

Could it be...

Could it be that legendary existence still...

"Immediately fetch the Holy Relic!"

His breathing became rapid as he sharply turned and gave orders to the guards behind him.

"Follow the instructions of these two Night Doctors and prepare to perform the ritual to awaken the Holy Relic!"

The surrounding guards trembled, their faces full of astonishment.

But seeing the urgent expression on the Mayor's face, they still obeyed the command, quickly turning and running toward the passage leading underground.

But almost at that exact moment.

All the candle flames in the church suddenly flickered violently.

And in the next instant, a shattering sound came from the glass at the top of the church, and a shadow abruptly appeared in their field of vision.

The faces of the surrounding townsfolk instantly turned pale.

"He's here!"

Raven shouted sharply.

The Mayor looked up gravely and said: "Do you need our help?"

Raven said gravely: "No need. You go prepare the awakening ritual for your Holy Relic!"

He sharply turned to look at Black Skull and said: "Black Skull, the curse in your body affects your Combat Ability too much. You stay here and protect the residents. I'll handle that young man!"

Black Skull said hoarsely: "Alright! Be careful!"

Raven narrowed his eyes and nodded.

In an instant, the ominous caws of ravens sounded.

His body instantly transformed into numerous pitch-black ravens, flapping their wings as they surged wildly toward the direction of the shattered glass.

Whoosh—

Countless ravens rushed out of the church, cawing as they swirled around the church's dome.

High up on the church's dome, Lynn was climbing, his tentacles sticking to the walls like suction cups, making him look like a twisted monster.

Lynn abruptly turned his head, revealing disorganized eyes, playfully staring at the swirling raven flock.

"Your game ends here."

Raven's indifferent voice rumbled around them.

"This time I won't hold back. Before you replace this young man, I will completely expel you from his body!"

He shouted.

Instantly.

The swirling raven flock launched an attack on Lynn, who was climbing on the church's roof.

Lynn grinned with a low laugh, his tentacles carrying him like a nimble ape as he swiftly moved across the church walls.

"Mr. Raven, have you already suppressed the curse I gave you? Hehehehe—"

"You truly are a powerful doctor, but you're mistaken! Your target shouldn't be me. Everyone here is sick. As doctors, shouldn't we first heal those patients who need our help?"

"They're suffering, yet you're chasing after me. You disappoint me so much."

Raven didn't answer him.

Because he understood very clearly.

Under the curse's influence, those continuously amplified negative emotions had already formed a negative personality within him.

Anything he said was meaningless, as it didn't represent his original will.

The only thing that could be done now.

Was to first restrain him, then perform a thorough healing on him!

Thud—

Feathers shot out and stuck into the walls.

The countless ravens he had transformed into surged like a dark storm, swarming to surround Lynn.

Lynn grinned, pressed against the wall, pulled a bubbling potion from his chest.

Then abruptly threw it at the raven flock.

Boom—

The potion instantly exploded, releasing countless green fumes that enveloped the entire raven flock.

He smirked.

Swiftly descended from the high altitude.

His body moved like a ghost as he abruptly turned, his face revealing an extravagant smile.

"Mr. Raven, I'm sorry, but I can't let you stop me. They must receive help, I... I really can't hold back any longer!"

Instantly.

He laughed maniacally as he grabbed a dark, ferocious arm from his system space.

A huge dragon head ferociously attached to the end of the arm.

"Hahahahaha!"

In that moment, he maniacally laughed as he grafted the Arm of Dragon Breath onto his shoulder.

The eyes of the huge black dragon head instantly lit up with furious light, as if flowing magma was swirling within.

"Enjoy the flames!"

He controlled the Arm of Dragon Breath, laughing wildly, abruptly aiming it at the surging raven flock.

"Breath!"

He shouted wildly.

Instantly, the dark dragon head opened wide, gathering billowing flames within.

Even Raven trembled violently, sensing the terrifying power emanating from that heat wave.

Without another word.

He immediately tried to disperse the raven flock, wanting to evade.

But at that moment, a bizarre scene occurred.

The dark dragon head opened its mouth, flames had gathered within, but it seemed the arm suddenly became hesitant, the Dragon Breath did not spurt out immediately.

Lynn was startled, then said furiously:

Breath! Breath! Breath!!

But suddenly.

His expression froze, and he murmured quietly:

"If I use it this time, the durability will be completely depleted..."

Left Hand said (꒪Д꒪)ノ: "Huh? Could it be..."

A brief silence.

His expression instantly turned wild again as he said furiously:

"Damned dragon arm! How dare you disobey my orders! I told you to use Breath, did you hear me, I told you to use Breath!"

Disordered, he grabbed the Arm of Dragon Breath on his shoulder and furiously punched the dragon head repeatedly.

Bang—

But after he threw less than three punches.

One of the tentacles on his shoulder suddenly went out of control and snapped, grabbing his wrist.

His expression froze again.

He frowned and murmured quietly:

"This is something money can't buy. Each use reduces its availability. Using it in a place like this would break my heart. Am I crazy?"

Left Hand: "!!!!"

That's right!

(ΩДΩ)!

This exact stingy, penny-pinching attitude!

Absolutely correct!

Could it be...
