On the void battlefield, Marfa was engulfed by a dark gray domain and completely descended into madness.
"Wutian... Chief... spare..."
She did not finish speaking. The rest of her words were replaced by a brief burst of laughter, which lasted several breaths before turning into a collapse of sobbing.
Her body trembled, both hands pressed against the sides of her head as though something were crushing her consciousness from within.
Wutian did not look at her. He stood where he was, his gaze fixed on Lynn.
"Boy Lynn, I admit it. This time, I underestimated you. I should have acted immediately and captured you."
"I valued your talent and had intended to recruit you, but I never expected your methods to be so remarkable. Even in such a desperate situation, you still found a sliver of survival."
"You've taken in so many Stigmas within your domain. I imagine they are not easy to suppress. How much of your strength do you have left now?"
"Release them, and I will let you leave."
Lynn's gaze paused on Marfa before returning to Wutian's face.
"Chief Wutian, right? While it was quite satisfying to watch how you punished Marfa, do you really think one sentence is enough to make me release them? How is that any different from asking me to surrender?"
"As for whether I can suppress them, and how much strength I have left, we'll only know after a fight."
"How about this? You let me leave first. Once I return to the academy, I'll release them immediately."
After he finished speaking, Wutian's gaze turned slightly cold as he said darkly,
"Then there is nothing left to discuss."
Lynn shrugged and raised a hand, signaling for him to go ahead.
There had never been anything to discuss. *Are all villains this
