Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 115 Is there something wrong with your master?

"Ahhh!"

The rune of the Concealed Sage took effect, and Ms. M rolled on the ground, wailing, her beautiful face now filled with extreme pain.

Her body showed signs of collapse; crisscrossing cuts appeared on her fair, smooth arms. The wounds were extremely deep, with only a small amount of flesh still connecting them, struggling to maintain the body's integrity.

"hehe."

Seeing all this, Lu Ze felt no pity, but rather a surge of pleasure. This pleasure even overwhelmed the pain in his abdominal wound, causing him to laugh out loud.

Serves you right, who told you to mess with me?

There was no time for sentimentality. He forced himself to stand up, his injured body swaying precariously. Then he drew his revolver from its holster and aimed it at Ms. M's head.

"Bang! Bang!"

The demon-hunting bullet whistled as it struck Ms. M's head.

One shot, two shots!

Ms. M quickly stopped struggling and screaming. The next moment, her body began to wither and shrink, eventually turning into a tiny paper doll. The doll's surface was covered with a rusty red, wrinkled as if it had been weathered for many years.

Damn it, shepherds aren't so easy to kill after all!
Lu Ze had anticipated this. He raised his pistol and searched the room, easily spotting Ms. M standing in the magic circle.

Her wounds had healed somewhat, but they were still quite noticeable. Although her expression had returned to calm, pain and madness remained in her eyes, and her mental state had deteriorated significantly.

“The Hidden Sage! The Hidden Sage! You have defied the Lord’s will; this is blasphemy.”

Ms. M's voice became hoarse and shrill, her golden eyes were like the hottest embers in a coal stove, and her body almost crumbled to pieces.

"Oh, what then?"

Lu Ze met her gaze without flinching.

Seemingly still unwilling to give up, Ms. M looked at Lu Ze and said, "This is your last chance. Cooperate with me obediently, and don't forget your sister."

You dare to use Cecilia to blackmail me?

"boom!"

Lu Ze answered with his revolver. After practicing for so long at work, his accuracy had improved significantly. With this shot, he hit Ms. M's body from several meters away, making her stagger as if she had been hit by a hammer.

"very good."

Ms. M muttered maliciously, "Remember this, your sister died because of you!"

She raised her right hand, as if grasping something invisible, and squeezed it down hard, crushing it. Then, she tilted her head, revealing a cruel smile, as if waiting for the sound of Cecilia's body exploding in the distance. But a moment later, her expression turned even more grim.

"What's wrong? Didn't the result meet your expectations? That's such a pity. Is something wrong with your master? Hahahaha!"

Looking at Ms. M's contorted face, Lu Ze laughed wildly, his inner joy overflowing. "What do you think I've been working so hard for all this time? Wasn't it all for this moment?"

"very good."

Ms. M took a deep breath.

She picked up the bottle filled with liquid.

"Wow—"

The crimson liquid was poured onto the ground, spreading along the patterns, and the entire magic circle emitted a strange light.

Upon seeing this scene, Lu Ze was momentarily stunned.

Could it be that even if you don't drink it yourself, it will still work if you pour it on the magic circle?
Ms. M paid no attention to his thoughts. She lowered her head and kissed the luscious red rose ring with reverence and tenderness.

"Thank God."

she says.

Lu Ze noticed that after kissing the ring, Ms. M's wounds seemed to heal faster, and soon only shallow scars remained.

She's serious! Lu Ze didn't dare hesitate. He clenched his right fist and, almost like a hammer, struck the wind-up clown on his chest.

"Ahahahaha!"

A piercing laugh immediately filled the entire room, and he gained three minutes of high-speed movement and body control as a result.

Almost simultaneously, he saw Ms. M raise her hand at him, making a gun gesture.

"boom."

she says.

Lu Ze's hair stood on end, his body moving before his mind, dodging to the left with all his might. He heard a strong gust of wind whistling past his ears, and an invisible bullet struck the ground where he had been standing, leaving a bullet hole in the floor.

"boom."

He had barely landed and hadn't even gotten his footing when Ms. M fired another air bullet, forcing him to keep dodging.

No, this won't do; we're going to be too passive!
Taking advantage of a moment to catch his breath, Luze took a deep breath and shouted at Ms. M in Ancient Hermes, "Die!"

Being a “listener” is a gift, but it is also a gift of foul language!

"what!"

Ms. M then stopped, her face contorted in pain, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and her hands involuntarily tightened around her neck.

The effect was better than before. Indeed, her mind had just been tormented by the Hidden Sage; hearing such filthy language would surely have been especially pleasurable.
Lu Ze understood immediately.

Having seen the weakness, he naturally wouldn't hold back, but seized the opportunity and shouted out again:
"The Lord's gaze will always be on earth, bringing the gifts of salvation to His believers. Blessed are those who believe in Him."

This time, he did not simply utter the words, but instead recited the prayer from the Sacred Text of Human Skin in ancient Hermetic, using the power of "filthy language" to chant it to Ms. M!

Blasphemous and frenzied sounds instantly filled the entire room!

"Ahhh!"

On Ms. M's body surface, many black veins appeared, constantly expanding as if they were about to burst out. She screamed, her body flattened, and finally turned into a paper doll once more.

It's a stunt double again!

But her substitutes are definitely not infinite, just like that witch!
Lu Ze thought to himself, also encouraging himself.

Just then, he suddenly foresaw this scene: Ms. M appeared out of the flames and stood in front of him.

Danger!

He immediately retreated, and as he raised his gun, a ball of flame indeed erupted before his eyes. Had he been still standing there, he would likely have been engulfed by the flames instantly.

"boom!"

Luze fired another shot, hitting Ms. M inside the flames. He had already used four Demon Hunter bullets with his revolver, leaving only two in the magazine. As things stood, he didn't have a chance to reload for the time being.

How much longer until Cecilia arrives?

Lu Ze quickly took a few steps back, widening the distance between himself and Ms. M, while thinking to himself.

Given that both of them have suffered losses, Cecilia is a powerful addition to the team. Furthermore, she possesses an extraordinary item from the Witch's Path, which, if used effectively, might be quite useful against Ms. M.

"Cough cough!"

Just then, Lu Ze suddenly covered his mouth without warning and coughed, while his forehead quickly became hot.

He's sick!

Ms. M stood there, looking at him, a cold smile playing on her lips.

Beneath her feet, the liquid had filled the magic circle, and the entire magic circle began to emit a shimmering light.
