Chapter 485: Chapter 486: The Abandoned Abomination Suah
Undoubtedly, the plan that Lynn and his team adopted was essentially bait fishing. Anyone with a brain would be able to perceive the trap and understand its true nature.
However, the Rose School of Thought being a hidden organization worshipping Outer Gods, consisted mainly of cruel and insane members. How much sanity they had left was unknown, so even if they detected the trap, they might not care.
Moreover, although the bait was obvious, the allure of Sefirah Castle was undeniable, an irresistible temptation for the Bitch Tree. And the hidden second lure, Reinette Tinekerr, was a major threat the Rose School of Thought had long wanted to eliminate.
That evening, as Jahn Kottman was reading the latest intelligence reports on the Church of the Sea God in the Cathedral of the Waves, he suddenly sensed a commotion outside the city. It seemed that at least a semi-divine being was causing it.
Kottman: ... Did the Church of Storms lose its edge, or were all the hidden organizations suddenly eager for trouble?
Though furious, Jahn Kottman couldn't instantly teleport to the battlefield, but he rose into the air, left the Cathedral of the Waves, and cast a lightning strike from the sky at the most sinister presence among the intruders. At the same time, he ordered the Punishers to activate the corresponding sealed artifacts.
Despite his anger, Kottman could sense that the entities battling outside the city were no ordinary foes.
Meanwhile, in the forest on the outskirts of Bayam—
"Wow, no wonder Storm god has such a hot temper."
Watching the Abomination's avatar struck by Kottman's lightning, Lynn couldn't help but comment.
"Stop admiring it; dodge!" He had barely spoken when Klein pulled him aside, perfectly avoiding the surrounding trees that had just come to life and tried to attack them.
While diving out of harm's way, Lynn activated a talisman he had thrown earlier. Unlike his usual approach of overwhelming his enemies with numerous talismans and scrolls, this time, he used a semi-divine talisman of the Darkness Pathway. Its effect was simple—pulling the target into a dream to induce sleep.
Thus, one of the Rose School of Thought's Demi-God, a Puppet at Sequence 4, suddenly fell into a dazed state.
"I'm telling you, why don't we forget about waiting for the big event in Backlund and take down this puppet now? You can ascend to Bizarro Sorcerer right away!" Lynn eagerly suggested, "I can buff you, and we have enough Spectators here." As he spoke, Lynn glanced toward a clearing.
It made sense—even without considering the value of this chaotic battle, Adam had already appeared in the air.
Lynn wasn't surprised; he was used to Adam potentially appearing out of thin air anywhere.
Taking advantage of the moment while the Puppet was caught in a dream, Klein raised his gun and shot the opponent, but he hesitated, acknowledging that Lynn had a point.
Although his original plan was to eliminate that Despair Witch for ascension, considering the large-scale damage she could inflict, Klein felt it safer to hand her over to the Angel of Secrets or another bigshot to prevent unexpected disasters.
As for the current situation, it was straightforward. As in the original story, where Klein caused a huge commotion outside Bayam and the Rose School of Thought responded by sending a bloodthirsty admiral and a semi-divine ally, along with a Sequence 1 Abomination's projection, this time Lynn and his group had lured out even more members from the Rose School of Thought.
They had sent not just two Demi-Gods to chase Klein and Lynn, but one of them had brought a vessel capable of holding the power of a Abomination, summoning Suah's projection—much more intense than the original transmitted power. By praying to the Chained God or Bitch Tree, they isolated the area from the spirit world.
In other words, if the bait plan was only led by Reinette, this lineup would be enough to consume her entirely. Despite her being a Sequence 2 ancient wraith, she was heavily injured and couldn't fully unleash her power.
Fortunately, the Angel of Secrets was reliable, bearing the brunt of the battle with Suah's projection, while Reinette focused on the other Demi-Gods.
The remaining Demi God was left, as planned, for Klein to confront.
As for why Lynn, with his hacking-like abilities, hadn't yet wiped out Suah's projection—it was simple. He was putting on a show of evenly matched combat while quietly using the projection to locate the true body, planning to drag it here later.
After all, with such a big scene, wouldn't it be unsatisfactory to not kill a Sequence 1 to liven things up?
Lynn thought so, so while buffing Klein in his duel with the puppet Demi-God, he discreetly bypassed the surveillance of the Bitch Tree's power. Once he pinpointed the true body's location, he summoned the Rose School of Thought's Sequence 1 directly, sealing the area to prevent Suah's escape and contain their ensuing battle from spreading to Bayam.
"It's you!"
The Bitch Tree had been watching the battle, seems to finally recognize Lynn, making the Angel of Secrets smile and look toward it beyond the barrier with a greeting.
"Yes, it's me!"
Lynn also couldn't help but scratch his chin.
So, Bitch Tree hadn't recognized him until now? Tsk, seems like Sefirah Castle's lure was indeed powerful.
While he mused, the bewildered Suah's true body was shocked to find that the Bitch Tree's gaze and power suddenly withdrew as if encountering something unclean, abandoning this area.
And It's most loyal follower Suah was clearly left behind, completely discarded as the Bitch Tree fled swiftly, apparently fearful that if it delayed any longer, not only Suah but also It might suffer.
Suah: ... So, what exactly happened? How did things end up like this?
