Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!

Chapter 276: Chapter 190: Please… Don’t Die_2

Everyone seemed to be immersed in the shock brought by the news, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

The attitude of the limb connector was unhurried, as if allowing them time to digest the information.

He seemed utterly fearless.

After all, this scene had been anticipated.

After a long silence, everyone could not help but turn their gazes toward Casimo. @@novelbin@@

It was he who had received the orders from above that had led to the assassination.

Unbeknownst to them, the other party had anticipated that Lynn was not the real limb connector, thus he only furrowed his brow deeply, showing little surprise.

“Tomb of the Dead Silence?” Casimo looked around at the surrounding darkness, his expression extremely grim, “Even this Sealed Object has been invoked, which means your schemes are not merely about advancing to Fifth Rank Legend.”

Casimo, who had long been stationed at the Border Fortress, was all too familiar with the effects of this Level Zero Sealed Object.

It was precisely because the Legendary strongmen of the Military Department had been frustrated by this Sealed Object several times that they remembered it so vividly.

However, he had not expected that such a high-grade Sealed Object would appear in the hands of a Fourth Rank member of the Demon Clan, and even used on them.

Thus, Casimo instantly smelled conspiracy.

The effect of this Sealed Object was very simple, it even didn’t exist in a physical form.

When the Spellcasters manipulated the arrival of the Tomb of the Dead Silence, the flow of time within the Barrier would suddenly decrease to a hundredth of its normal speed.

However, its true effect was not as simple as the Spirit Time House.

All beings inside the Barrier, aside from the Spellcasters, were considered “Living Sacrifice,” every moment suffering the sacrifice by the power of ten thousand demons.

Moreover, within this space, most Extraordinary Abilities could not be utilized, causing those below Fifth Rank to be no different from ordinary people.

The only way to lift this Barrier was for all the “Living Sacrifices” to be successfully offered, entering the “Silent Death” state.

At that time, everyone would be transformed into dry, terrifying corpses like puppets, retaining a trace of consciousness but subjected to permanent manipulation by the other party.

“Do you intend to forcibly advance to Fifth Rank Legend?” After a moment of silence, Casimo took a deep breath, “But now, the urban legend that belongs to the ‘limb connector’ has already been grafted onto Lynn Bartleion, without the source of fear, you are not enough to step into that Rank unless…”

“Unless my promotion trial, from beginning to end, was never about ‘gathering fear energy.’ ” From the ceiling, Burshman cackled strangely, “That’s the arrogance of you humans, always stubbornly believing that what you see is ‘real,’ always treating others as brainless fools.”

At these words, Casimo’s brain ‘buzzed’ and exploded.

The motive behind the serial killings committed by the limb connector was actually to advance to Fifth Rank Legend.

This was the information that the Military Department had always provided.

But now, when the ringleader personally denied this, the panic that had been suppressed in his heart finally surfaced.

No wonder the victims were not only limited to ordinary people.

Rather, it could be said that the ordinary people were actually a smokescreen; those powerful Transcendents from the major forces were actually his targets!

Perceiving the confusion and fear of the people, the limb connector coldly said, “Correct, my real promotion trial was actually to collect a hundred strands of fear and despair from Fourth Rank Transcendents on the brink of death.”

“Thanks to that kid, it allowed you ‘Living Sacrific” to gather here.”

It was precisely because of Lynn’s behavior of capturing the Prince in public that had enraged Saint Laurent VI so much that he promised large rewards, prompting these Fourth Rank Transcendents to be unprecedentedly active.

Normally, he would have had to pay a long and costly price to achieve this trial.

And now, this group of guys looked like lambs to the slaughter, seemingly drooling with anticipation.

Sensing the evil intentions and killing intent from the other party, the crowd, unable to use their Extraordinary Abilities, turned pale and fell into panic.

“Damn it… this is Glostit! Protected by the Three Gods and the Holy Spirit Tree!” someone angrily shouted, “You’re just a Fourth Rank, even if you advance to Fifth Rank, what then? The end is definitely death!”

Indeed, this was correct.

Although the flow of time was severely slowed, this was after all a Level Zero Sealed Object and had become tainted with the aura of the Demon Clan.

In a major city like Glostit, it would likely instantly attract the encirclement of official forces and various churches.

Merely being Fifth Rank, there was absolutely no way to survive.

He couldn’t believe the limb connector had plotted so long only to advance to Fifth Rank and then become a trophy and a stepping stone for human powerhouses.

From any perspective, Burshman had no way out.

That’s why everyone held a sliver of hope, trying to scare the opponent away by invoking the names of the Three Gods.

However, as time passed, they saw not a trace of fear or retreat on the face of the limb connector, and their hearts gradually sank.

Burshman sneered mockingly, “Death? So what?”

“Between our Demon Clan and humans, it has always been a fight to the death, and I can’t believe you complacent fools have forgotten this.”

“Not only do you not think to resist, but you’re even thinking of begging for life from a sworn enemy, hoping he will spare you, truly a disgusting spectacle.”
