Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 126 Hard Fight
Ms. M's body collapsed, and she reverted to the horrific appearance she had just taken the potion from, resembling a humanoid monster that had been skinned alive, covered in blood. On the monster's chest, the faces of Luze, Ms. M, and seven or eight of the sacrificers floated, their eyes tightly closed.

Then, Ms. M's face moved up.

Her eyes opened quickly.

The intelligence that had once filled those eyes was gone, replaced by utter madness and hunger!

She appeared incredibly greedy, ravenously lusting after the three men's bodies.

"die!"

She shouted at the three people present. Her shrill voice echoed endlessly, the simplest of words containing an invisible, terrifying power and impact. The gift ability from Luze Sequence 8 was now being used by Ms. M, who had taken over his body!
"boom!"

The three people present felt as if they had been hit hard on the head with a hammer. Their ears immediately started ringing, and blood gushed out of their nostrils, eyes, and other orifices!
"spread!"

The noise echoed in his ears, and Klein's vision blurred. Just then, he heard Dunn's deep call. Trusting Dunn, he instinctively stepped aside to the right.

A heavy thud followed immediately. Klein steadied himself with his excellent body control and looked with his gradually recovering vision toward where he had been standing—a place now filled with horrific flesh and blood. Ms. M's body rushed over, splashing flesh and blood, bringing with it intense corrosion.

The original Blackthorn Security Company certificate has been completely destroyed.

Just then, the sky darkened again, and once more, a large amount of silk threads poured out from the urn in Dunn's arms, filling the surrounding area.

The shadow beneath Ms. M's feet no longer held any illusory phenomena; a certain ineffable high status had vanished, and Saint Selena's ashes had once again begun their pursuit of evil.

"brush!"

The mangled monster suddenly turned around, and on its chest, Ms. M's face was twisted with hunger. She stared greedily at the group, her gaping mouth seeming to deliver a death sentence:
"Go to hell."

Her voice stopped abruptly halfway through; her mouth was open, but she couldn't utter a single sound.

Leonard, who had just gotten up from the ground, was reaching out his arms to her. The blood-red vein wrapped around his arm was swollen and bulging, a deep purple-red. Not only the artifact, but the veins on his face were also prominent, as if they were about to burst.

The sealed artifact, the "blood vessel thief"!
"Filthy language" has been stolen!
Taking advantage of a brief lull in Ms. M's attack, the black threads stealthily and silently pursued her. An out-of-control Ms. M might be terrifying, but this loss of control also stripped her of her ruthless and insane wisdom, turning her into a beast driven by instinct.

When she saw the black threads closing in, a normal person would have used the flames to leap away. But now, driven mad, she charged directly at the black threads, swinging her arms and throwing out pieces of corroded flesh.

"Zizi-"

The black threads, corroded by flesh and blood, twitched, but continued to spread rapidly until they grabbed her and bound her tightly!

Here's a chance!

Klein felt a surge of excitement. Once he captured Saint Selena's ashes, he could activate the [Sunfire] talisman. This talisman's power came from the blood of a true god; it would undoubtedly possess a formidable destructive effect!
"Ahhhh-"

Ms. M struggled, screaming sharply, her strength becoming extremely violent, the cold, slippery threads even becoming somewhat difficult to control.

Dunn frowned as he looked at what was happening before him. Under his black coat, thick, large things quickly bulged out, then exploded at the same time!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A torrent of crimson blood, imbued with the spirit of "Nightmare," splattered out, like a massive rain of blood falling around Dunn. The blood landed on the black threads, which were instantly and rapidly absorbed. These threads expanded rapidly, transforming from thin strands into thick tentacles that tightly bound Ms. M!
An opportunity! Klein was overjoyed, pinching the warm, pure gold disc as if tossing it.
"Cough cough!"

He suddenly bent over and coughed painfully.

His forehead was rapidly burning, his body temperature was rising, his lungs were burning hot, and he was incredibly itchy. It wasn't just him; Leonard and Dunn both had symptoms to varying degrees.

"Roar--"

A grotesque smile spread across Ms. M's maniacally contorted face as she instinctively released toxins, plunging everyone present into a trance of illness. Due to this brief loss of control, she once again broke free of the black threads binding her and charged towards Klein.

"yield!"

A grand and corrupt voice rang out from the other side. It was Leonard, who was coughing and using the "filthy language" that originally belonged to this monster!
"boom!"

Ms. M's momentum was immediately interrupted, and she fell to the ground.

After getting up, she let out an angry roar and sprinted at high speed before the black threads could wrap around her, causing Leonard to crash head-on into her!

"boom!"

Leonard was hit as if by a heavy carriage loaded with goods, flying a long way before landing. Before he could get up, Ms. M appeared in front of him, opening her blood-red mouth!
Leonard had already clearly seen every detail of the other's teeth. He didn't have time to dodge and was about to whisper something when he saw the monster's figure suddenly pause. The face that belonged to Luzer was gradually rising and pushing aside Ms. M's position.

In the illusory depths of the ocean, Lu Ze kept his eyes tightly closed.

His consciousness was gradually fading away, as if he had completely merged with the deep, boundless ocean.

Perhaps it's okay to just disappear like this.
A sense of warmth and comfort, like returning to the womb, enveloped Lu Ze, making him unwilling to do anything but want to stay there forever.

He was almost forgetting his own name, his own existence.
Who I am doesn't matter anymore; giving up like this doesn't seem so bad.
The real world is too cruel. Every day is a struggle to survive, enduring endless pain. I don't care about myself, others, or even my own family.
"elder brother."

He remembered a girl's voice.

What the hell!

Where's my sister?!

He suddenly woke up with a start—Cecilia! Cecilia had been taken away by Ms. M's men! He still had time to soak here; if he didn't wake up soon, who would care about his sister's safety?
"Wow!"

Lu Ze suddenly opened his eyes, broke free from the water, and sat up.

The once unfathomably deep seabed suddenly transformed into a shallow beach, and he sat up, breaking free from the surrounding water. Looking around, Ms. M was nowhere to be seen.

Quick, wake up! Go save Cecilia!

The surging white fog on the sea responded to Lu Ze's wishes, quickly enveloping him and pulling his consciousness back to the real world.
