Lynn felt that as a transmigrator, the coolest and most important thing was to ride a mighty, domineering black dragon and soar through the sky.
If that wasn’t possible, then piloting a Gundam and engaging in a passionate shootout in space would suffice.
Now, he had finally fulfilled his long-held dream.
Lynn lay on Aldro’s back, feeling the evening wind blowing against his face, filled with contentment.
‘Perhaps this is what it feels like to be a winner,’ Lynn thought.
“Guess who’s behind you right now~”
Ah-Yan, her small white feet bare, stepped onto the broad back of the dragon.
She crept up behind Lynn and suddenly covered his eyes.
“Stop fooling around, Ah-Yan.”
Lynn brushed aside Ah-Yan’s small hands.
Seeing that she had been seen through, Ah-Yan puffed out her cheeks slightly and sat down next to Lynn, a look of displeasure on her face.
“You really are an idiot. Couldn’t you have just pretended you couldn’t guess?”
After a period of recovery, Ah-Yan’s condition had gradually improved.
Although her strength limit had been somewhat compromised because she had fed Lynn the Dragon King’s blood, she never regretted it.
“Fine… fine…” Lynn laughed somewhat helplessly.
Since he was in a good mood today, it wasn’t a bad idea to play along with her occasionally.
Seeing Lynn close his eyes and put on a cooperative look, Ah-Yan was shocked at first, but then excitement gradually flooded her face.
The petite dragon girl leaped up, hopped behind Lynn, and covered his eyes once more with her pink, delicate hands.
“Dear~ Guess who I am?”
Lynn pretended to think for a moment before saying, “I don’t know.”
“It’s me…”
The girl released her hands and laughed as she jumped in front of Lynn, her hands folded behind her back.
The setting sun shone on the dragon girl’s wind-blown black hair, reflecting an orange-red glow.
“My name is Ah-Yan, the name you gave me!”
Listening to the playful sounds coming from his back, Aldro let out a long sigh.
Sigh, the sour stench of love.
They were like an old married couple, yet they still played these games.
His sister-in-law really was… playful.
Ah-Yan didn’t care about the thoughts of the single black dragon beneath her feet.
She used her magic to thread her voice into a line, sending it only into Lynn’s ears.
Her face turned slightly red, and a hint of expectation gradually flashed in her eyes.
“Of course, you can also call me — “
“Wuyan.”
“Looking at each other in silence.”
Upon hearing the name Wuyan, Lynn felt as if he had been struck by an electric current.
Something seemed to flash through his mind suddenly.
‘Have I… heard that somewhere before?’
He tried to grasp that fleeting memory fragment, but in the end, he only caught thin air.
His head hurt inexplicably.
Lynn closed his eyes and gently rubbed his temples.
But, in the next moment, that familiar aura of death once again spread like a maggot on a bone.
Beads of sweat gradually covered Lynn’s forehead, and his face turned pale.
No, this was wrong…
The aura of death was stronger than ever before.
It was even stronger than when he had triggered the death endings in his previous lives!
Lynn felt his energy being rapidly consumed.
It felt as if his heart were being squeezed by a pair of invisible, large hands, making it difficult for him to breathe for a moment.
“Lynn, are you okay?”
Ah-Yan ran to Lynn’s side in a panic.
“Let me down, Aldro.”
Lynn forced himself to stand up slowly.
“I’m fine, just a little tired.”
Lynn managed to squeeze out a smile.
Such a strong aura of death could only mean one thing.
The caster who had placed this curse on him was nearby.
In other words, one of the Twelve Apostles of the Abyssal Cult was bound to be lurking in the shadows nearby, coveting him.
After all, only the Twelve Apostles had the ability to cast such a terrifying spell.
Clearly, the opponent was coming for him.
Was it to seek revenge for the Sage?
Or was it the Sage himself who had descended?
Lynn didn’t know.
He only knew that everyone in the Abyssal Cult was a lunatic who would do anything to achieve their goals, regardless of the consequences or the cost!
Naturally, Ah-Yan and that not-so-bright dragon general would also be fatally affected.
He had to get away from the two people beside him, the further the better.
A moment later, Aldro landed slowly and then transformed into human form.
Seeing Lynn looking so weak that he was about to collapse, Aldro couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
“Big brother, what’s wrong with you?”
‘Is my sister-in-law some kind of succubus?’
Looking at Aldro’s confused face, Lynn wanted to tell him to take Ah-Yan and leave quickly.
But he was really, truly exhausted.
His physical strength was draining rapidly.
Even blinking and breathing were gradually becoming a difficulty, a luxury.
Before Lynn could struggle to speak, the space around him shattered like a mirror into countless fragments.
Following that, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly.
Lynn struggled to lift his eyelids, wanting to see the surroundings clearly, but everything in his sight was a blur.
Tap… tap…
The crisp sound of footsteps approached from a distance and slowly stopped in front of Lynn.
In his daze, Lynn seemed to see Livia’s figure walking up to him.
However, no matter how hard he tried to focus, he couldn’t see the other person’s specific appearance clearly.
It was as if her appearance were deliberately hidden by some kind of “Law.”
Then, the figure slowly crouched down.
“You seem to have dropped something. Don’t forget it next time~” A playful and ethereal voice sounded in Lynn’s ear.
She turned her palm over, and a light blue gemstone appeared out of thin air in her hand.
Then, the figure slowly raised her hand and placed the gemstone in Lynn’s palm.
The gemstone slowly melted like water.
As the Kala Crystal merged into his body, Lynn’s severe discomfort also gradually eased.
In the next moment, that azure panel appeared before Lynn’s eyes again.
[Item: Kala Crystal (Bound)]
[Rarity: Purple Epic]
[Grade: 1]
[Description: Once bound to the user, it generates a shield capable of blocking a single instance of damage within a certain range.]
[Current grade can block: 1 time.]
[Remark: You think you can insta-kill me with seventeen cards?]
“This is…!”
Looking at the information displayed on the panel, Lynn’s pupils constricted.
Wasn’t this the stackable shield that the Sage’s projection had used when fighting him!
One had to know that with this shield, Lynn’s current weakness of being as fragile as paper could be greatly mitigated.
His margin for error had directly taken a giant leap!
Before he could recover from the shock, his eyes refocused, and the surrounding scenery was fully revealed to him.
The bronze decorations, the dimming candlelight, and the iconic throne made of iron swords in the distance…
This was the Bronze Temple of the Abyssal Cult!
Lynn’s heart skipped a beat.
He had walked right into the thieves’ den!
In that case, the identity of the person in front of him was obvious.
The current Bishop of the Abyssal Cult, the Fallen Witch, Kalyanlana!
But why was she… helping him?
As if she could see the confusion in Lynn’s eyes, Kalyanlana seemed to smile.
Then, she slowly leaned in and whispered softly into Lynn’s ear: “I have been waiting for a long, long time.”
“Waiting for you to come and find me…”
