And the calm and amused expression on the face of the King of Cruelty vanished in an instant, replaced by crimson anger and murderous intent.
No one expected that Lynn’s final ploy would be this.
Many people even shivered in fear, but of course, there were also clever ones who roughly guessed the ultimate oute of this event.
Yet at this moment, almost everyone fell into silence.
Because the price Lynn paid to eliminate Kushustan was simply too great.
Not only did he have to sacrifice his own life, but he also had to offer up the life of Fourth Prince Joshua.
The citizens watching this scene had time to ponder whether Lynn’s action was right or wrong, but Lynn himself, shown on the Sky Curtain, didn’t even have the time to think.
All they saw was him letting out a slight sigh, then slowly raising his right hand and snapping his fingers, ignoring the urgent shout of a girl from a distant corner.
Because if he hesitated any longer, he would crumble first.
As the snap echoed, Fourth Prince Joshua, who had just been protected in a corner, suddenly tilted his head and pletely lost his breath, as if seized by a seizure.
Watching this scene, countless people sighed endlessly.
As a prince of inparable nobility, he was ended by a mere snap from Lynn in a transaction between man and demon.
And Kushustan’s furious expression froze on his face, his massive body, tall as a skyscraper, collapsed and dispersed like quicksand.
Before this, no one anticipated that an impending storm of Evil upon Glostit would be thwarted at the crucial moment by the very boy believed by all to be a murderer, who stepped forward and took on the Life Player form at great cost to prevent the disaster.
The image on the Sky Curtain stopped abruptly here.
However, those awe-inspiring scenes continued to echo in everyone’s minds.
The young magician strolled nonchalantly through the old factory, effortlessly dodging the opponent’s killing blows, putting his life aside as he negotiated on equal footing or even from a superior stance with a fearsome High-dimensional Demon.
Normal people, in front of Its aura, couldn’t even maintain their posure.
As for the negotiating chips, it was his own life.
What could be more captivating than such a scene?
To this point, the truth is fully revealed.
Lynn was not truly the Amputator Burshman, nor was he the culprit of a series of serial murders.
The cause of death of the Fourth Prince, although indeed by Lynn’s hand, was fundamentally to save this city.
As for the charge of publicly assassinating Councilman Blake, leading to his lifetime paralysis, at this point appeared pletely insignificant, even directly ignorable, at least currently, no one mentioned it anymore.
Who was Councilman Blake? Just a stray dog on the roadside.
After all, everyone saw that if Lynn hadn’t done what he did, the King of Cruelty would sweep through Glostit, causing countless deaths and injuries, certainly an unprecedented disaster.
The nobles might have had a chance to escape, but the unarmed moners were doomed to bee prey for Evil.
The Holy Tree Judgement ended here, but it was far from truly over.
The truth and the oute were both unexpected, plunging the entire city into silence.
"So, Lynn was trying to save us?"
A mother holding her baby murmured to herself, her fingers unconsciously clutching the swaddling clothes.
Old John from the tailor shop at the alley suddenly removed his hat and pressed it to his chest, "My son in the City Defense Team was killed by the Amputator during patrol."
Whispered speculations began to spread like wildfire:
"I heard the Fourth Prince was an evil scientist, conducting numerous human experiments secretly, countless civilians died at his hands."
"If that’s true, then Lynn was ridding the people of harm."
...
Emotions continued to brew, finally, someone in the crowd was the first to shout the phrase, "Lynn is innocent," and this cry ignited the long-suppressed emotions of the entire city, like a spark falling into a haystack.
At first, only a few scattered voices echoed, but soon it spread like fire.
Tens of thousands of citizens surged towards Saint Square from all directions, waves of voices rising higher and higher!
"He faced Evil with a human body, using blood-stained hands to save the people—Lynn, he is the most tragic lone hero of this era."
"Therefore, Lynn is innocent!"
