Chapter 269: You Can Come to Me Anytime for Mana Refill
Chapter 269: You Can Come to Me Anytime for Mana RefillLynn could see the disillusionment and despondency on her face.
Clearly.
The reunion with Big Brother Titan's family in the Sight realm had brought back many past memories, reminding her that in the Sight, she was still that holy and powerful Sacred Angel.
But in reality.
She remained the bound Inverted Angel, shackled by curses, transformed into something neither human nor ghost.
Such a massive disparity.
No matter how strong one's heart might be, in this moment, it would feel fragile.
Lynn spoke firmly, "Matriarch, I must offend you."
As he spoke.
He strode forward, gradually climbing onto the dense, crisscrossing black chains.The sharp barbs easily sliced through his skin.
From this, one could imagine the agony the angel bound here for three thousand years had been enduring.
Finally.
Lynn reached her front, seeing up close the angel's face covered with scars.
"I'm beginning now, Matriarch. If this process can bring you any benefits, that would be ideal."
Lynn seriously extended his hand, slowly touching her brow.
"Begin."
The Inverted Angel's lips parted slightly.
[Ding! You are using Limited-Time Curse Removal Ability on the target. Do you wish to proceed immediately?]
"Yes!"
Instantly, Lynn's eyes and fingers were bathed in silver radiance.
Dazzling streams of light spread rapidly across the Inverted Angel's entire body, like fine vines dispersing the darkness throughout the great hall.
The Inverted Angel's pupils instantly dilated.
Her humiliatingly bound body suddenly showed a massive reaction.
Her fingers and toes curled instantly.
As if something was being slowly drawn out from within her body.
The pain was diminishing, the chains were loosening.
That feeling...
"Ah!!!"
A cry mixing pain with immense relief echoed throughout the dark hall.
The two guards at the main door were instantly blinded by the piercing bright light, their faces showing shock.
But they had no idea what was happening?!
"This... what exactly is..."
The blinding white light persisted for several minutes.
Until the light finally receded.
They immediately rushed urgently toward the deepest part of the hall.
"Matriarch!! What happened?!"
But just as they approached, they abruptly stopped, staring at the scene before them, their minds going blank with a thunderous crash.
They stared in shock at the sight, saying, "Mat... Matriarch..."
Amid countless wildly surging chains.
The woman knelt on the ground, covered in wounds, chains binding her wrists and ankles, her body covered in scars, long hair cascading to the floor like a wingless angel in a pool of blood.
Before her lay the unconscious young man.
But... but...
"Matriarch! Have you found a way to break the curse?!" The two guards trembled as they rushed over.
Because compared to when their Matriarch had been densely pierced and bound by countless chains before, the chains restraining her now were clearly much fewer!
Could it be...
Beneath the long, blood-stained golden hair, only the delicate, snow-white lower half of her face was visible.
The woman's lips parted slightly.
Two trails of tears dripped down her chin, falling to the ground one by one.
"20%..."
The two guards stood trembling, their hands even becoming unsteady.
Three thousand years...
For three thousand years...
At this moment, no one could truly understand what the angel was feeling in her heart, but those two tears falling to the ground said everything.
Because they represented liberation and hope.
Though she still couldn't move freely.
Compared to before, this was almost the greatest blessing.
"His mental energy is exhausted..." The Inverted Angel's lips parted, accompanied by the rumbling collision of chains, her body slowly leaning forward.
Compared to when she couldn't even move at all before, she could now use her own strength to shift her body.
Though it still came with intense pain.
But it couldn't suppress her feelings in this moment.
Finally.
Panting, she lowered her head to look at Lynn's face so close to hers.
Her lips trembled, but she finally slowly approached, touching his forehead.
Like a devout worshipper kneeling and weeping in prayer before him.
"Thank you."
"It succeeded..."
She whispered.
Blinding golden light instantly burst from their touching foreheads, torrents of mental energy flooding into Lynn's brain like a spring.
The two guards immediately turned and hurriedly ran toward the main door.
"Quick! Quick, tell the Veterans this good news! The Matriarch's curse has been weakened!!"
The Inverted Angel didn't stop them.
She closed her eyes.
Devoting her entire being to using mental energy to heal the damage and depletion caused by his mental exhaustion.
Slowly, Lynn's eyelashes fluttered, then he dazedly opened his eyes.
[Ding! Your mental energy has recovered to 100%]
Accompanied by the system prompt in his ear.
Lynn's vision slowly returned, feeling the touch on his forehead and the long hair draped over his nose.
He saw the angel with closed eyes, pressing against his forehead, transmitting mental energy to him.
Lynn instantly widened his eyes.
"It worked?"
The Inverted Angel slowly opened her golden eyes, pulling back about ten centimeters, looking at him with a rare trace of smile in her eyes.
"20%, you removed 20% of my curse."
Hearing her words, Lynn finally breathed a sigh of relief, his entire body relaxing.
Rubbing his aching head, he stood up and looked at the kneeling, bound angel before him, and even he felt a wave of breathtaking beauty.
Not hanging upside down like before, Lynn finally saw her entire body.
Beneath the chaotic chains, her body was covered in wounds, but with partial curse removal, the holy aura emanating from her had become more intense.
That fragmented beauty appeared even more impactful.
"Actually 5% more than last time?"
Lynn thoughtfully sat cross-legged, saying:
"This should be related to me upgrading that ability..."
The Inverted Angel panted, looking at him: "It seems Titan and Wushen were right, they had good reason to treat you well. Perhaps one day, you really can permanently remove the Root curse from within us. I can't wait to see that day come..."
Lynn smiled and gave her a thumbs-up, saying:
"Don't worry! I think I've already found a way to enhance the curse removal ability. I believe that day definitely won't be too long."
The Bound Angel's face showed a sincere smile, tears streaming as she smiled:
"It seems this is my redemption. Thank you, Lynn. For three thousand years, I've never felt such anticipation for the future as I do today."
Lynn felt somewhat embarrassed by her words.
The Bound Angel smiled: "Tell me, what do you want? Though I don't like that Titan, he was right about one thing—I can't do nothing, or I'd feel undeserving."
Because hope is priceless.
Lynn thought for a moment, then raised one finger, seriously adjusting his monocle, smiling:
"The price I mentioned before, one Black Skull Coin, shouldn't be too expensive, right? Do you want to pay in advance?"
The Bound Angel was taken aback.
Then she lowered her head, a slight smile curling at the corner of her mouth.
"Yes, advance payment."
"But you need to come closer."
Lynn was startled, then rubbed his head, walking before her and kneeling on one knee, puzzled:
"Matriarch, do you have money on you?"
"No, it's something else..."
Before he could finish, the Bound Angel raised her lips, closed her eyes, lifted her head, and gently left a kiss at the corner of his mouth.
A light touch, even allowing Lynn to clearly feel the soft sensation of her lips.
Buzz—
Lynn's mind instantly went blank.
An indescribable fragrance seemed to flood his nostrils.
With her eyes closed, he could clearly see her gentle brow and exquisite nose.
And almost simultaneously.
Pairs of golden wings appeared behind Lynn's back, countless golden light points enveloping his body, as if he were in a dreamlike paradise.
And Lynn immediately heard the system prompt in his ear.
[Ding! You have obtained special buff [Angel's Kiss], duration: 24 hours]
[Angel's Kiss]: Special buff, resistance to curses and abnormal status effects +20%, health recovery speed +20%, when attacking can imbue any object with holy attribute status, and when near death, automatically triggers a special effect that fully restores all status.
Lynn was astonished.
After a long while.
In that holy light, the soft lips gently withdrew, slowly parting.
Lynn heard the gentle, dreamlike voice in his ear.
"When the blessing time ends... you can come find me anytime to replenish it..."
