She suddenly, with great difficulty, turned her hand and cried in shock,

"Brain!! Are you awake?!!"

Lynn was taken aback.

But almost in the same instant,

his expression twisted into madness once more, and in a panic he ripped off the Arm of Dragon Breath and threw it into the System Space.

"There was a little mistake, sorry, I have to go! Mr. Raven!"

He gritted his teeth.

Suddenly he spun around, and tentacle after tentacle shot out with a splash, sticking to the walls as he tried to leave.

But Raven would never give him that chance.

Clack—clack—

Using the gap that had just opened, the flock of ravens that had scattered abruptly swarmed in from all directions, instantly enclosing him.

"It seems your will hasn't been completely shattered, which means you still have a chance to recover."

Raven's body slowly coalesced, his tone indifferent, and through the lenses of his Plague Doctor Mask the ravens reflected Lynn at their center.

He suddenly reached out.

The black flock instantly pinned him to the ground, pecking his body violently.

He squinted, muttering incantations, his fingers rapidly tracing a purple Cursed Arts magic circle in the air.

The moment the engraving finished,

he lightly flicked his fingers.

"Suppress!"

He squinted.

In an instant, that cursed magic circle expanded several hundred meters with Lynn at its center.

Invisible chains suddenly shot out toward Lynn among the ravens.

Clack—clack—

Lynn's limbs were instantly bound by those chains.

"I've really had enough of you, you damned crow!"

Lynn snarled.

Under that crushing force, a tentacle burst from his chest, writhed up around his neck, and at its tip a black vertical pupil suddenly opened.

A black Focusing Eye!

Zuo Zuo was terrified, shouting urgently, "Careful!"

But it was too late.

Almost at that instant,

the ravens surrounding him, under the gaze of the Focusing Eye, dropped to the ground in great numbers and began sizzling and dissolving.

Raven immediately felt a chill rise in his heart, his expression shocked.

The restraining formation binding Lynn also began to melt and collapse, faltering.

That was a curse!

A lethal curse!

How many curse-based attacks did this youth actually know!!

But there was no time to think.

Because he immediately felt Lynn's furious gaze settle on him.

"Raven! You pissed me off!"

Lynn suddenly erupted in rage, tearing free from the melting chains, and the Focusing Eye on the tentacle snapped its gaze toward Raven.

But at that critical moment,

Zuo Zuo lunged hard and bit down on that tentacle, dazed and frantic, causing the Focusing Eye to spin away.

Under its sweep, a dozen houses in the distance collapsed into rolling slime.

Zuo Zuo shouted,

"Hurry! By any means, restrain him! He's taken huge doses of Mental Amplification Potion and Constitution Amplification Potion, he has stronger methods! Under no circumstances give him a chance to rampage!!"

Because she knew.

Lynn's mind wasn't completely broken.

Just moments ago!

She had clearly seen that when he used the Arm of Dragon Breath, he showed a moment of clarity.

Meaning Brain still had a chance to come back!

"You traitorous piece of—!"

Lynn grabbed Zuo Zuo's wrist with a grimace, tentacle after tentacle snaking into his medical box, pulling out bottles of pesticide and pouring them forcefully down Zuo Zuo's throat.

Zuo Zuo weakened repeatedly, her bite on the tentacle growing weaker and weaker.

Seeing this,

Raven lunged at Lynn, eyes sharp, a surgical scalpel flashing into being in his hand, and with one stroke he severed the tentacle holding the Focusing Eye.

"Holy Relic!"

He shouted toward the church.

He thrust out his hand.

A cursed spear suddenly materialized, driving Lynn's right hand into the ground and pinning him down.

He pressed his knee down hard on Lynn's chest, forcing him flat on the ground.

He abruptly took the Twelve-Winged Inverted Angel from his chest pocket and jabbed its pendant against Lynn's brow with his thumb.

"Holy Son, Holy Father, Holy Spirit!"

He rasped quickly, his fingers touching forehead and shoulders in quick succession.

"Amen!"

Hum—

The Inverted Angel pendant in his hand exploded with blinding golden light.

Dark capillaries crawled across Lynn's contorted face, and the human silhouette inside his body shimmered like an old TV's ghosted image.

An extremely eerie scream tore from Lynn's mouth.

Thunderous black mist erupted from his body.

"Annoying! Annoying! Annoying!"

Lynn ground his teeth savagely, dozens of tentacles shooting out of his body at once, wildly coiling around Raven.

[Beep! You have discovered the target disease: Skin Ulceration!]

[Beep! You have discovered the target disease: Bone Necrosis!]

[Beep! You have discovered the target disease: Muscle Atrophy!]

The terrifying symptoms swept through Raven's body again, his vision blurring, and taking advantage of that moment Lynn's tentacles flung him away.

He staggered to his feet in a frenzy, his bones creaking and twisting.

But just as he tried to move, the Inverted Angel pendant that had fallen to the ground burst with searing light.

Clack—clack—

A golden sacred magic circle spread from the pendant's bail.

Countless chains shot from the circle, wrapping around Lynn's arms, legs, and neck, forcing his body down to the ground.

"Holy Son, Holy Father, Holy Spirit!"

Wrapped in countless maladies, Raven panted and painfully rose from the ground, continuously chanting sacred verses.

"You've gone too far!"

Lynn tore at the restraining chains with savage fury.

"I only wanted to heal you, and you kept blocking me again and again! You made me angry!"

Clack—clack—

In an instant, his tentacles pulled bottle after bottle like fresh blood from the System Space.

At the sight of those vials, Zuo Zuo was horrified.

"No!!"

But it was already too late.

In the moment the potion splashed onto Lynn, cysts began erupting across his skin.

His body began to swell, arms erupting wildly from his flesh.

One eerie piercing scream after another echoed from his flesh.

It was the sign of flesh and blood running amok.

Watching this, Raven went pale.

He spun and shouted urgently toward the church,

"Holy Relic!!"

Boom—

At that moment, a golden beam suddenly shot from the church dome into the black sky.

Underground in the church, the Mayor and several priests chanted continuously.

Before them,

the holy ark slowly opened.

A dim, incomplete holy chalice emitted a blinding radiance.

......

At the same time,

on a distant peak far from Silent Town, a Pig-Headed Butcher carrying a bloodstained Butcher Knife stared from afar at that towering curtain of light.
