Chapter 228: Episode 83 Plotting_2

This makes the creation of soul-bound corpses almost impossible, leaving only a simple transformation into zombies.

Lynch leaned on his magic wand, slowly walking toward the Black Crystal Tower. At this moment, he didn’t want to fly into the sky; the sensation of being enveloped by the night was indeed unpleasant. Now, with his feet feeling the cold touch of the stones on the ground, this sense of reality surprisingly made the mage feel more at ease.

The entire city was silent, only the rustling sound of zombies’ footsteps on the ground could be heard. Although this action was very secretive, there were plenty of spies and observers. Every family had their own spies, constantly watching others’ movements. These eyewitnesses from other families weren’t a major issue; they couldn’t, or rather wouldn’t, meddle in such affairs to identify the attacking family. As long as Batana cleared out the Blysha family’s nobles, no one would question the matter, which was the unwritten rule of the Dark Elves. Therefore, the area around the second family was like a blind spot in the Dark Elf City; even though a battle had taken place, the eyes of other families collectively agreed to "ignore" the situation here.

Without Briza’s plan, Lynch would definitely acknowledge this as a successful operation. Having absorbed the majority of the second family’s strength, Batana’s power would continue to expand. However, the situation was different now; it was confirmed the first family had come back from the dead, demanding Lynch to execute his plan promptly. No one knew Briza’s timeline for targeting the first family, but one thing was certain: it would happen soon. After all, Briza couldn’t possibly wait for Matron Batana to brainwash her family members one by one.

But, it had been five days since he parted with Deluo and the others, with half the time having passed. If nothing unexpected occurred, after enduring four more nights, Ratris City would become a mere memory for Lynch — although it was a memory he wished never to relive.

The Black Crystal Tower remained quietly still; no one dared to approach. Although Lynch’s residence had been exposed, the prestige of the first family equally deterred those with ill intentions. Even families that had planned to get a share were reluctantly retreating — they could face any other opponent, but the reputation accumulated by the first family over centuries forced them to hold back.

"Soka!" Lynch called out for the little angel upon entering the Black Crystal Tower. Although his Eye of Insight could see the angel, this method of calling was more convenient than searching laboriously.

There was no response from inside the tower.

Lynch’s head buzzed loudly, and he rushed up to the second floor, carefully searching every location with his eyes.

The little angel was hiding behind a bookshelf, hugging her knees with her head buried deeply, using her wings to tightly wrap herself, curling up and trembling.

Lynch walked over and placed a hand on Soka’s wing. The little angel started, looked up abruptly with tears in her eyes, "Brother Lynch, you scared me to death..." With that, she threw herself into the mage’s arms and began to sob.

Lynch immediately set up a Silent Barrier around them, originally a spell of the Dark Elves, now used by him. Unexpectedly, though little Soka usually spoke timidly, her cries were quite loud. Not wanting the cries to disturb others, Lynch resorted to this method to contain them.

The little angel found it strange that she couldn’t hear her own crying. She looked up at Lynch and wanted to speak to ask what had happened.

But she couldn’t hear her own words either. Frightened, the little angel yanked at her ears and opened her mouth wide, shouting vigorously. Her expression was even more anxious than before.

Lynch put Soka down from his arms, and it was only then he realized how light she was, almost like a hollow feather. He first covered Soka’s mouth with his hand before removing the Silence Barrier’s effect.

The shouts from Soka’s mouth were forcibly muffled back by the mage. She paused for a moment, seemingly reassured, and then broke into a smile through her tears.

"Soka, don’t be afraid. What happened?" Lynch patted her head. The mage had no experience in comforting girls, which was comparable to his Dwarf friend Morgan. The mage was now using the gesture he would use to pet a puppy back at home.
