Lynn's lips moved instinctively, but he immediately bit down hard on them.
Yet in that very instant, the Nightmare Demons seized their only chance. Murderous intent and madness flared in their eyes, and they attacked Lynn without hesitation.
"Watch out!"
Zuo Zuo shouted a warning in his mind. She flung back her sleeve and grabbed the Blade of condensed blackfire at Lynn's waist.
This was the first time Zuo Zuo had truly taken action since her return. Lynn had already granted her the highest permissions within the dream, and she had been watching the Nightmare Demons' movements without relaxing for a moment.
Vrrrm-
That sword strike seemed to sever time itself.
Terrifying black flames swept out almost instantly, crushing the charge of the three Nightmare Demons.
Lynn snapped back to his senses, a cruel chill flashing in his eyes. Almost as soon as Zuo Zuo unleashed that slash, he reclaimed control of the Black Sword. With a single thought, boundless currents of time surged around them, and he swept himself and the Nightmare Demons into the rifts in time.
Yet at the last moment before he left, he finally turned to look at those figures once more. They could no longer see the grief in his eyes.
The pitch-black time rifts.
With a crack, Lynn's hand crushed one of the charging Nightmare Demons. His gaze was cold and merciless, and he held nothing back as thick blackfire burned them away, one after another.
"Zuo Zuo, remember this. Unless it's necessary, try not to release blackfire inside a timeline. Your control is weak. If you accidentally let it touch anything there, it could cause irreversible damage to the entire flow of time. Don't do it again, understood?"
"Understood, Blockhead! Zuo Zuo will be careful."
They were no match for Lynn.
