Lynn's eyes lit up as she asked in surprise, "You actually want to help me, Your Highness the Regent?"

The regent smiled. "That's right, but I need to confirm your strength first."

Great Teacher Elktela was a loyal supporter of the Moonlight Queen. If the regent wanted to overthrow Alice or support another Moonlight Queen...

Elktela would be a stumbling block for him in both situations.

Since that was the case, the regent was naturally happy to get rid of her at this critical juncture!

Lynn's appearance was undoubtedly an opportunity. This was a great opportunity granted to him by Goddess Compassion from the unknowns!

However, the regent had another doubt.

Up till now...

The regent still did not know how strong this woman named Lynn was.

Even now, he could not believe that a mortal could defeat an invincible demigod, let alone Histia!

The regent said, "Miss Lynn, Leta's Great Teacher is not easy to deal with. At the very least, you have to let me see that you have the strength to challenge her, right?"

Lynn had no objections to the regent's thoughts. "You're right. How do you want to confirm it, Your Highness?"

"It's simple. Come and fight me."

The regent stood up and withdrew the mithril sword on his waist.

Before he became the regent, he was first and foremost an old general who had fought on the battlefield for more than 20 years.

Naturally, he could not defeat a demigod.

However, he was almost invincible against anyone beneath the level of a demigod!

He was qualified to give Lynn a trial.

On the other side.

The moment the word 'fight' was mentioned, Lynn's expression changed instantly.

The gentle black-haired beauty's eyes shone with the fervor of a wild beast.

She looked straight at the regent and her voice turned into a maniac. "Your Highness, are you saying that… you want to be my prey?"

"Say it however you like, just com—?!"

Before the regent could finish…

A gust of wind blew past him.

A flash later.

Lynn had already vanished from the regent's eyes.

Hmm…?

The regent was stunned.

He was dumbfounded.

What happened?

However, the next moment, the regent discovered to his horror that for some reason, he could not breathe!

He wanted to say something, but…

"Ee… Ee…"

The regent's words turned into a comical scream. It was only then that he realized—his neck was spewing blood wildly.

When he touched his neck with his violently trembling hands, he touched a huge hole that tore his throat and arteries.

Thud!

The regent's eyes widened menacingly as he knelt on the ground and clutched his wound in vain. However, blood continued spewing wildly, dying the entire wall red.

Behind the regent...

Lynn sheathed her black dagger calmly.

No one present could see clearly when she unsheathed the dagger.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The law enforcement squad at the side was terrified but nobody dared to advance no matter what.

To think that… this cultist merely used a single attack to slit the regent's throat.

There was no clash between the two nor were they any collision of techniques.

Everything ended the moment it began.

In fact, the regent's eyes could not even see the movements of Lynn's attacks before his life was snatched away like a pig being slaughtered.

Lying in a pool of blood, the regent's eyes widened in despair and he could not stop screaming with a hoarse croak.

Right then, Lynn walked in front of him.

She was still smiling. "I wonder if you're satisfied with this outcome, Your Highness the Regent?"

However, immediately after, she suddenly realized something.

"Oh, right. You're about to die. I'm truly sorry…"

Lynn pulled out the white dagger on her waist and stabbed it into the regent's head.

The dagger pierced the regent's skull and brain with ease. Instantly, the regent stopped moving.

However, the next moment…

Something strange happened.

As though time had reversed, the wound on the regent's neck began to heal at an astonishing speed.

The arteries that were spewing blood were reconnected at a visible speed. The blood that was lost was produced out of thin air in the regent's body, allowing him to recover from the blood loss.

Thereafter, Lynn withdrew the white dagger from the regent's head. As the blade withdrew bit by bit, the pierced brain structure repaired as well.

By the time Lynn sheathed the dagger...

The regent returned to normal and opened his eyes in fear. With a head full of cold sweat, he began to pant with all his might.

He was alive…

His throat was severed and his head was pierced. Thereafter, he was healed almost instantly as though nothing had happened.

The regent had comprehended many things in that instant of confrontation.

Earlier on, when Lynn was healing herself...

She did not use any magic.

The method she used was a technique that touched on the origin of things, as though life and death was in her hands.

Strange…

The regent had never heard of any evil god in control of the authority of life and death!

At that moment, the regent finally understood why this woman could challenge Histia.

Indeed, she did not have any divinity nor did she have any divinity objects that could forcefully raise her strength…

Instead, this person was in command of another power system that was completely foreign to the regent.

"You didn't heal me… you reversed my life and death. This is an ability that even the gods don't possess…"

The regent was shocked.

"Just who… were you before you became a Fallen?!"

"That's not important, Your Highness the Regent."

After the battle ended, the ferocity that was revealed in an instant was quickly covered.

Lynn's face was once again filled with an amiable smile that was as gentle as water.

"The current me has already given up on my past. I possess a brand new soul and a new mission. The current me will devote everything I have to the lighthouse in my heart and carry out all the orders she gave me… It's all for my supreme goddess."

Lynn's eyes were incomparably pure and pious. At the mention of that supreme being, tranquility returned to her heart and she was no longer tortured by the past and present.

She revealed that sacred name to the regent.

"The Blood Empress... Justice."
