With his talent activated, Lynn fled the battle scene with lightning speed, the world around him blurring. His movements were swift and fluid - each step and leap maximized efficiency and minimized wasted effort.

Simultaneously, the mechanical mind started assessing the extent of his injuries. "Multiple lacerations... Minor burns... Fissured bones... Degraded muscle fibers...," he silently cataloged without a hint of emotion.

The damage was already significant from the intense confrontation, and the activation of [Gemini Soul] to facilitate his escape only exacerbated the condition, pushing his body to its limit.

He desperately needed to rest, but the circumstances offered no such luxury. With no other options, he resorted to his other class skills. Hidden from external eyes, [String Threading] spread within him like an intricate spider web.

Several razor-sharp white filaments penetrated his internal organs, bones, and muscles, forming an internal makeshift brace. This operation provided support and stabilization to his damaged frame.

While not a definitive remedy, the technique allowed Lynn to maintain a precarious balance given his depleting energy reserve, preventing the situation from rapidly deteriorating and buying him precious time to find a safe shelter for recovery.

Seeking a more direct aid in healing, he grabbed a potion from his inventory - one of the alchemic concoctions he had purchased at the auction house earlier. The flask contained a green liquid pulsating with vitality.

[Basic Healing Potion]

[Grade: Common]

[Evaluation: A simple alchemical elixir that can provide moderate healing to wounds and restore a small amount of stamina. Prolonged use can lead to diminished effectiveness due to physiological adaptation.]

Without hesitation, he swiftly gulped down the potion. As the fluid touched his lips, it sent a rush of heat down his throat, a pleasant burn that was both invigorating and faintly discomforting.

The effects were not instantaneous or complete, but they were still noticeable to him. The fissures in the bones began to mend slowly, and the strain in his muscles eased slightly.

Glancing back toward the direction of the chaos, he could still hear the distant roars and thunderous impacts. Simon had engaged the monstrous beast, and the two powerhouses were locked in a brutal clash.

The sheer power of the fight resonated, sending tremors underfoot. With the extraordinary perception and unique talent, Lynn partially perceived and sensed the chaotic spectacle unfolding in the distance.

One crimson and fierce aura started to spread and dominate the battlefield, overwhelming the bestial and malevolent presence. From the growing enraged growls, he figured the werewolf was likely losing.

"The captain of the Special Investigation Bureau," he murmured, simulating the possible outcome of a fight with him. "Indeed, he possesses formidable strength." That only further confirmed the wisdom of his decision to retreat.

Shade's decision to expose his identity suggested he had a trump card up his sleeve. This presentiment was quickly validated when, moments later, a loud howl, distinct from all previous ones, shook the central district.

In that fleeting instant, the world around him quivered in response as though the sound had pierced the very fabric of reality. Thanks to his enhanced state, Lynn immediately detected something was amiss.

Suddenly, following the initial bellow, many other roars reverberated from every direction, setting off a cascading chain reaction that enveloped the entire area as if each one was responding to a signal.
