Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!

Since that's the case, there's no need to waste time anymore.

Gazing at the trusted aide's body lying in a pool of blood, Lynn's expression was cold and indifferent.

"Of course not afraid," he gently pinched the blade resting on his neck, "because dead people can't kill."

"Dead people?"

"Exactly." As he spoke, a red glow radiated from Lynn's eyes. "You are already dead."

"And dead people can't kill."

He slowly uttered the lie.

As the power of the Lie Swallowing fluctuated, the invisible force of the lie engraved itself into the minds of the three like a Curse Mark.

The first to succumb were the two First Rank Transcendents at the back.

In just an instant, they could not resist the effect of the Lie Swallowing's lie, believing the fact of their own death. Their eyes widened, faces still holding a trace of disbelief.

Then, their bodies stiffly crashed to the ground. Discover hidden content at empire

In his previous life, Lynn had seen several similar cases.

Some people dreamed of their own death in their sleep, and then their subconscious believed this signal and actually entered a brain-dead state.

And what Lynn did now was just that.

I... am I already dead?

As the only Second Rank Transcendent, the burly mercenary suddenly looked vacant and loosened his grip on the long sword in his hand.

The next second, like a gigantic bear, his body thunderously fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

In just five seconds, with just one sentence, he had killed three powerful Transcendents.

That was Lynn's strength at the moment.

With the system's presence, he could max out all the Divine-given factors and, with Miss Witch's help, underwent a secondary enhancement.

Now, he was several times stronger than this Second Rank Transcendent.

In the world of the Transcendents, the upper ranks possessed such terrifying dominion over their inferiors.

And the quantity and quality of Divine-given factors precisely determined everything.

Of course, the Lie Swallowing's method of use could only bully the weak, making those with very frail wills suffer.

If he faced a stronger Second Rank Transcendent, or someone protected by a Sealing Object of mental nature, he couldn't kill them through lies.

Lynn crouched down and stripped off a set of clothes from them to change into.

He then picked up the long sword to use as a shovel and dug a pit on the ground to bury the trusted aide of the manor who died searching for him.

After all this, he quickened his pace and left the mountain range.

...

On the carriage, Duke Tierus rubbed his forehead with a hint of headache.

After Princess Ivyst left the reception room, he followed her, persuading her not to give up so easily.

Although earning 576 points within two weeks was very difficult, with his assistance, there was still some hope.

But either way, it required Ivyst's cooperation.

After all, Lynn had spent several days to break the faith of the Heavenly Principle Church and gathered two million Gold Coins from various churches.

Even with that, he had only scored 500 points.

To achieve more than what he had managed back then, everyone needed to work together.

Currently, Orn City had just ended a disaster and was in a state of chaos, so Duke Tierus turned his attention to the Demon Clan battlefield.

For the Empire, the Demon Clan was undoubtedly their most troublesome enemy.

Although they had just signed a ceasefire agreement not long ago, Duke Tierus knew all too well that it was merely a formality, and hostilities could restart at any time.

And his previous trip to the border city to collect taxes was also to prepare for military expenses.

Now might be the perfect time to launch an attack.

After all, he didn't expect the Demon Clan to honestly adhere to any agreements.

Since that was the case, why couldn't it be his side that initiated the hostilities first?

And wanting to quickly obtain a large number of King's election points, military achievements were undoubtedly a great way.

After all, Ivyst's foundation was just too weak.

Compared to that, the Second Prince's lead of more than ten thousand points was frighteningly despairing.

Aside from Ivyst, the other princes and princesses had the support of their maternal families, and many nobles and churches had placed their bets on them.

Because long before, these people had been accumulating points secretly for the King's election, which is why they had such a horrifying performance.

In Duke Tierus's view, solving a Sealed Object uprising could earn 1500 points, which was an extremely incredible reward, so generous that even he couldn't imagine.

After all, in the perspective of those in the Imperial Capital, the incident only affected a border city, killing tens of thousands of lowly commoners, nearly equivalent to no loss at all.

You can figure it out with a simple calculation.

Within just one month of Lynn arriving at Augusta Manor, he had helped Ivyst gather 3000 points for the King's election, already a third of what Second Prince Felit had.

If not for Ivyst's weak foundation, she might have already climbed to the sixth or seventh rank by now.

One month!

That was merely one month!

To reach such a level in just one month, even Felit himself would be deeply shocked if he knew about this.

This was simply like pinning him and those nobles and churches supporting him to the ground and fiercely slapping their faces.

Given that Felit could stand out so much in the rankings, owning more than ten thousand King's election points over the years, the various resources he spent, including those invisible ones converted into Gold Coins, amounted to well more than twenty million.
