Chapter 270: Chapter 188: Dying in Front of Her_2
In this moment, six long swords from all directions, above and below, left and right, had tightly sealed off any room for him to advance or retreat, converging like a closing net, ready to execute this chief culprit on the spot!
Actually, at this time, Lynn had at least three ways to escape the desperate situation.
The simplest method was to use “Time Concealment” to hide in the cracks of time.
However, Tiya, who was skirting the battle, was very familiar with his information.
She knew that this guy had used an Extraordinary Ability related to the domain of time during the day, so she was now carrying a Sealed Object that could make time come to a standstill within a small area.
The reason she hadn’t acted yet was precisely for this moment.
She couldn’t tolerate Lynn escaping again and causing more people to suffer.
Actually, on the rooftop that day, or in the interrogation room, she had had the chance to kill him.
But it was because of her own soft-heartedness that all these subsequent events had occurred.
She had to stop this guy.
Tiya took a deep breath and slowly pulled out the Sealed Object from her chest.
However, contrary to her expectations, feeling the moonlight attacking from all sides, the cornered boy showed no intention of using that tactic and had instead slowly closed his eyes.
No, that’s not right!
Although she couldn’t pinpoint where the dissonance was coming from, this scene prompted a voice to suddenly emerge in Tiya’s heart.
I can’t just stand by and watch him get killed!
The next second, the clean moonlight suddenly surged, escalating several levels in an instant, making everyone present squint.
Was that… the Holy Maiden taking action?
The nuns could not help but wear expressions of surprise.
Only Louise understood what had actually happened, her expression dark.
Moments later, the moonlight quietly faded away, and the old factory fell into darkness once again.
By the dim light, everyone looked down.
They saw the blood-soaked young murderer, now bound to the ground by several Moonlight Chains that had condensed from the light.
He tried to flex his muscles to break free but found the seemingly tender chains to be extremely solid, as strong as tempest-hardened steel.
From the human perspective, there was no chance at all of escaping.
Seeing this, Nun Louise stepped forward, her high-heeled boots forcefully stomping on his chest, flipping him onto the ground.
She then coldly watched the instigator of it all.
“Why?” Louise’s voice was very cold, “We agreed to avenge Sister Trina personally, missing this opportunity now means once the Imperial Council takes over, there will be no more chances.”
At these words, Tiya fell silent for a moment, then softly offered an explanation: “After all, the Church has issued an order for us to capture him on the spot and keep him alive for interrogation… Besides, he no longer has the strength to fight back, does he?”
Watching the black-haired boy shackled by the Moonlight Chains, her gaze became slightly vacant for a while, then turned cold and serious.
“Lynn Bartleion, stop thinking about escaping. I won’t give you any chance… just like now, stay here and don’t move.”
“As the chief culprit in the limb connector series of murders, although your fate is already sealed, save some strength before the final Judgement arrives.”
“It’s better for both of us, don’t you think?”
Feeling his utterly indifferent gaze, Lynn discarded the option to continue struggling.
Clearing his suspicions was actually not difficult.
But he was suddenly inspired by a mission the Witch Miss had assigned to him.
After a long silence, Lynn slowly spoke.
“Fine, I won’t move.”
He revealed a faint smile.
Seeing this, Tiya’s crystalline pink lips moved imperceptibly as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately, she suppressed the urge.
Louise, although dissatisfied with the outcome, thought about how this guy was most likely going to end up hanged on the gibbet and so temporarily put aside the thought of a dispute.
Then everyone began to clean up the battlefield.
Several nuns began to treat the surviving Transcendents.
Even so, the situation was very urgent.
Beyond these individuals, the Fourth Prince Joshua was the most critical one.
Although he still showed signs of life, for some reason, he could not be woken up.
If he really died here, things would become troublesome.
With this in mind, and taking another look at the quietly kneeling Lynn, Tiya drew in a deep breath.
The accusation of murdering a Prince was still too grave.
It was better to reduce the charges whenever possible.
No, what am I thinking?
Tiya suddenly came to her senses, realizing she was actually considering things for a despicable murderer.
With this thought, she pushed aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind and took out a Magic Stone etched with coordinates from her pocket, gently crushing it.
This was an item used for communication with teams of Transcendents from other forces.
Once crushed, everyone could receive her location and converge on her as quickly as possible.
Although three teams of Transcendents had arrived before the other forces, strangely, none of them had used this item.
Ten minutes later, team members from the various churches, as well as substitute punishers and Punishers, arrived on the scene.
Due to the seriousness of the operation, the personnel sent by the major forces were all Third Rank at the minimum.
Including the first arrivals at the scene who were still giving aid, a rough estimate showed that there were more than thirty at the Fourth Rank alone.
