The Battle Queen They Blindly Kicked Out (Joanna) novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269 One Fish Left

It still felt like something was missing.

After thinking for a moment, Troy grabbed a handful of soil and activated the skill “Black Corrosion,” turning the earth into an ashen, dark-gray substance.

Then those gray-black particles wrapped themselves around Cedric’s neck.

An anti-magic collar, crafted on the spot.

“All set. With the anti-magic collar on him, he can’t self-detonate, can’t use spells, and his physical strength is sealed. He’s basically an ordinary person now.”

For the past few months, Joanna had been busy absorbing the petrification modifier and hadn’t had time to talk much with Troy.

Seeing how smoothly he handled everything, she couldn’t help but praise him.

ework.”

Troy was usually silent, but now he felt a sudden spark of joy.

No one had ever praised him before. People only called him ruthless-they feared him and guarded against him.

Those memories were distant now.

Still, he vaguely remembered being someone no one liked, an executioner who specialized in harsh interrogations.

Yet Joanna praised him.

So this was his contracted companion. Though bound by contract, he could feel that Joanna genuinely liked him. As the latecomer, she treated him no differently than the others.

“Just doing my job.”

Troy straightened his back, his chest lifting unconsciously.

The others looked wilted, visibly frustrated that they hadn’t managed to keep everyone.

“Joanna, next time, I’ll catch them,” Nighthowl said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He hated Lucas and the others the most. He could never forget Cedric’s shameless arguing, Neil’s arrogance, Lucas’s constant dodging of responsibility, or Bruce’s pitiful act while wanting

everything.

And yet this encounter had let them escape.

Damn it.

“Don’t worry. We’ll catch them sooner or later,” Alwyn said, his expression darkening.

“Heh, didn’t we still catch one fish?” Lucien suggested. “Why don’t we lock him up on one of those planets where it’s easy to escape, set an ambush, and wait for someone to come rescue him?”

“Joanna, if you’ve got the guts, just kill me already. We don’t even have that deep a grudge. Why are you doing this to me? Just because back in high school you failed to contract as a Summoner? That was nothing. Did it really have to come to this?”

dric shouted through a mouthful of blood. Of course, he didn’t want a trial. That would be

a raised an eyebrow.

“What, you forgot about what you tried to do to me back at the Divine and Demonic Training Program?”

Cedric twisted on the ground.

“But didn’t you already get your revenge? And we didn’t even hurt you back then. Isn’t that enough?”

“And what about the people you killed? The ones you used for blood sacrifices?”

What’s that got to do with you?”

“It has everything to do with Space Alliance law!” Joanna shouted firmly.

The law was the bottom line that restrained human nature.

Joanna was a citizen of the Space Alliance. Every citizen had the duty to uphold and enforce the law.

She would never tolerate Cedric’s slaughter.

“Seal his mouth. We’ll take him back to the academy later.”

Troy stepped forward and fitted another anti-magic stone mask over Cedric’s mouth.

Then he produced a cage and locked Cedric inside. Cedric could only lie there helplessly,

unable to move or kill himself.

Joanna went back to farming monsters, and a few hours later, she finally hit 40 billion kills.

“Finally, I can go back.”

Three months of effort, well worth it.

Because the spatial barrier of the Divine Battlefield was too strong, Joanna didn’t force Astral Step. Instead, she took a ride back to Ant City and waited to return with other professionals.
