Chapter 261: Twelve-Winged Inverted Angel
Chapter 261: Twelve-Winged Inverted AngelAt this moment, Lynn was genuinely shocked.
He instinctively thought this was the Matriarch joking with him, but obviously, that should be impossible.
Because whether considering status or tone, this being had no reason to joke with him like this.
But...
Big Brother Titan's first love?!
This was just too absurd!
And... could it even physically fit?!
Meanwhile at the main gate, those two guards were already (꒪Д꒪) frozen in place, like statues, their weapons clattering to the ground.
They felt... this didn't seem like something the two of them should be hearing...
Lynn rubbed his temples, brows furrowed tightly as he said, "Apologies, Matriarch, this relationship is a bit messy, allow me to sort it out slightly..."In the darkness, that indifferent female voice sounded again.
"Stop sorting. I didn't expect you could even make contact with them. I have many things to ask you. Come to me."
Lynn widened his eyes, instinctively glanced back towards the two (꒪Д꒪) guards at the gate direction, and could only very reluctantly walk forward into the darkness ahead.
Although hearing that this Matriarch knew Big Brother Titan was indeed an unexpected pleasant surprise.
But once the words "first love" came out, it always felt like there wouldn't be any good omens.
And judging by the tone.
Clearly, this Matriarch and Big Brother Titan had quite some history between them.
And now she was both the CEO and Chairman of the Night Doctor corporation, so would she give him, a newly hired intern, a hard time because of his relationship with Big Brother Titan?
Surely not!
After all, she's the former Sister-in-Law, so no matter what, I'm still family!
Lynn steadied his mind.
...
Soon, Lynn passed through that vast expanse of darkness, and the deeper he went inside, the more he felt strange and peculiar.
He saw massive amounts of pitch-black chains spreading from the walls, extending towards the deepest part of the darkness.
As if within that darkness, an immensely terrifying monster was chained up.
Was she really a Twelve-Winged Holy Angel?
Lynn felt a chill down his spine, trying hard to maintain his composure.
Perhaps she once was...
But after falling into this Dark World, there's no guarantee what kind of twisted and horrifying monster she might have become.
Finally, he passed through that darkness.
He lifted his head.
And the moment he saw the appearance of that "Matriarch," even Lynn instantly felt waves of shock, all the hairs on his body standing on end at that moment. ŗâＮỔ฿Ëṣ
"This..."
In the darkness, the clashing of chains against each other continuously produced clear, crisp ringing sounds.
And right in the center of the great hall, thousands upon thousands of dense chains were nailed into an angel heavily wrapped and bound by chains.
She was shamefully hung upside down there by the chains, barbed chains piercing her skin.
Six pairs of enormous golden wings grew from her back, so massive they could easily cover dozens of meters of sky, but like her body, her golden wings were also layered and bound, pierced through by barbed chains.
Even half of them were only remaining as flesh-and-blood tattered half-wings.
And within those countless pitch-black and crimson chains, an ice-cold, inhumanly beautiful face was staring at him.
And Lynn's eyes instantly displayed her status panel.
【Twelve-Winged Inverted Angel】
【Race】：？？？
【Level】：？？？
【Alignment】：Lawful Good/Chaotic Evil
【Combat Ability】：Just pray...
【Introduction】：The Twelve-Winged Sacred Angel who fell into the Dark World three thousand years ago, founder and protector of the Night Doctor organization. The curse turned her into a Bound Angel, making her endure the pain of death binding and piercing every moment. Her personality has become unpredictable, but even so, she still seeks methods to heal this land and erase the curse...
Lynn was stunned.
So she really was an angel...
But different from the kind of sacred angel he had imagined...
She was a Bound Angel, cursed by this world just like Big Brother Titan and the others!
And she was truly too beautiful, that kind of sacred beauty like a deity that made you completely unable to look away, but because of the restraints of the ferocious chains, that beauty transformed into a cruel aesthetic of something beautiful being ravaged and shattered.
Sacredness and curse intertwined.
Giving people an indescribable, immense impact.
【Ding! You have discovered a Root-level special existence. Would you like to immediately record it in the Archive?】
The System's prompt quickly brought Lynn back to his senses.
Lynn immediately averted his gaze, placed a fist over his chest in salute, and said, "Greetings, Matriarch!"
But simultaneously, he mentally gave the System an affirmative reply.
【Ding! You successfully recorded "Twelve-Winged Inverted Angel" in the Archive. You received System reward: 17 Free Attribute Points.】
Seventeen points!
Big Brother Titan was 20 points, Auntie Wushen was 15 points, this Matriarch was indeed a Root-level existence!
And judging by strength, she was actually somewhat stronger than Auntie Wushen!
The Inverted Angel gazed at him indifferently, saying, "What? Aren't you afraid of me?"
Lynn shook his head, speaking seriously, "Replying to Matriarch, you are the most beautiful existence I have seen in this Dark World. You are also our leader, the pillar of our Night Doctors. With so many kind Night Doctors loyal to you, your heart must also be benevolent and loving. Whoever I might fear, I shouldn't fear you."
Lynn waved his hand grandly.
【Ding! Congratulations on triggering achievement: Sometimes You Gotta Flatter, You received basic experience 200】
【Sometimes You Gotta Flatter】 Special achievement, obtained with probability when decisively lowering your pride to offer praise and admiration to female beings far stronger than yourself. This indicates you have deeply understood the essence of this path. You received permanent bonuses: opposite sex affinity +1%, intelligence +2, eloquence +1, happiness -1
The veins on Lynn's temples throbbed wildly.
"Stop your slick talk in front of me!"
The Inverted Angel closed her eyes.
"I have questions for you. You'd better answer truthfully. If there's even half a lie from your mouth today, don't think about walking out of this door."
Lynn said calmly, "Rest assured, Matriarch, my greatest virtue is honesty. Since childhood, I've never told a single lie."
The Inverted Angel ignored his words, narrowed her eyes, opened her lips, and said:
"How did you get to know their family? What's their condition? Have they broken free from this world's curse?"
Lynn was taken aback, and could only answer one by one.
He didn't hide anything either, organized his language, and gradually explained to the angel before him how he met Little One, how he attracted the Demonkin Association's attention, and then how he encountered Little One's parents.
There wasn't really anything to hide about these matters.
After speaking intermittently for half an hour, Lynn sat cross-legged on the ground, pulled out a thermos from his chest, took a sip, raised a finger, and said seriously:
"Replying to Matriarch, that's roughly how things are. Although it sounds absurd, these are indeed true events that happened."
After listening to him, the Inverted Angel looked at him doubtfully, saying:
"You're saying you used some ability of yours to temporarily weaken the curse on that Titan guy, restoring his clarity?"
Lynn closed his eyes and nodded up and down.
"Yes, but my strength is still too weak. At that time, I only weakened it by 15%, nearly costing me my life."
A trace of astonishment appeared in the Inverted Angel's eyes, and her gaze towards Lynn became increasingly unfathomable.
She narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Lynn up and down.
As if trying to see right through him.
Because she knew very well how terrifying the curse shrouding Titan's family was—even compared to her own curse, it was equally severe if not worse.
Because it represented torment, bondage, eternal life, chaos, and suffering.
And after searching this world for so many years, she hadn't found any method that could alleviate or remove these curses, yet this young man actually...
What kind of joke is this!
But judging from his earlier description of those two individuals' personalities, it indeed matched perfectly with how she remembered them.
This wasn't something that could be fabricated through pure imagination.
Which meant this young man indeed had considerable connection with the Titan family.
The Inverted Angel's gaze became increasingly doubtful.
