Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 215 Dusk is Approaching (Previous Chapter Revised)

"call!"

A longsword of blazing lava, wreathed in eerie blue flames, was held by the demonized Luze. Now, horns sprouted from his head, bat wings spread across his back, his figure was tall and sinister, his eyes cold and bloodthirsty, brimming with unbridled malice.

"brush!"

The lava sword traced a scorching arc in the air before slashing down at the waiter on the ground.

Just then, the other side launched a counterattack.

The waiter abruptly raised his head. Although the golden dragon's vertical pupils were filled with pain, it wasn't as intense as he had shown earlier. It was likely that the extraordinary item with psychological powers had alleviated the mental shock he had suffered.

So he was just pretending to get Lu Ze closer!

"Roar!"

A silent, majestic dragon roar suddenly resounded, spreading outwards from him like ripples on water. The roar was filled with madness and malice, seemingly capable of directly stirring up the deepest, most primal, and frenzied instincts within people's hearts.

The "madness" of a "psychologist"!
At this moment, the waiter had already used an extraordinary item, and in a short time, this ability reached the level of Sequence 5!
The biggest problem with the Demonic Path is that, due to its rampant malice and madness, it is extremely susceptible to being controlled by the desire for killing and cruelty, to the point of losing control. Therefore, his goal is to use the full-force "frenzy" to make this "demon" go out of control!
Lu Ze was standing right in front of the waiter when the maddening roar struck him completely, echoing in his mind.

With the impact of the dragon's roar, Lu Ze's head jerked back abruptly, his body stiffening for a second. His eerie aura surged dramatically, and ghostly blue flames instantly ignited from his longsword, spreading across his entire body!
"hehe."

The waiter's face still bore traces of pain, yet he managed a forced smile. This method of manipulating minds, bewitching others, and driving them mad was precisely their way of fighting.

He looked at Lu Ze expectantly, waiting for him to descend into madness and even lose control.

"call out."

The next instant, the world appeared tilted in the waiter's eyes.

The enormous demon standing there, Sophia staring in astonishment behind him, and everything in the entire opulent bathroom all tilted to his left and slowly rose upwards.

wrong.

The waiter's smile froze; he suddenly understood something.

It wasn't the world that tilted; it was him who tilted—he was cleaved in two at an angle.

The longsword, burning with eerie blue flames, had somehow ended up hanging beside Lu Ze's legs. It sizzled, burning away the bloodstains. Lu Ze stared coldly at him, his demon-transformed crimson eyes filled with malice.

He did not lose control due to his frenzy.

With a thud, the waiter's upper body slid down the cut and fell to the floor. The contents of his body rolled down the slope like a landslide and poured into the water.

Behind him, deep slash marks were left on the wall of the washroom, the edges of which were smooth and rounded, as if the building material had melted and solidified under high temperature.

"How can it be"

The waiter's face was half submerged in the water, and dark golden scales surfaced on his body. He didn't die immediately, but murmured resentfully. He couldn't understand why the demon, who was so easily out of control, hadn't been affected by "madness."

Who told you I'm a demon?
Lu Ze did not answer, but instead raised his burning sword and pointed it at his eyes.

"Who sent you?"

he asked.

Just now in the hall, he hid in his sister's shadow and noticed that Sophia, seated at the head of the table, rose and left without any guards following her. At the same time, a waiter in the crowd quietly followed her. His actions were highly suspicious, as if everyone had ignored his presence.

The intense heat of the lava sword quickly dried the waiter's wet face. However, despite the terrifying weapon so close at hand, his pale face showed no sign of panic.

"Hehe. It's fate. Fate has guided me here."

He spoke incomprehensible words, with piety and fanaticism.

"Can't speak human language?" Seeing that the other party could only speak riddles, Lu Ze was too lazy to ask anything more, and thrust the lava longsword straight forward. "Then I'll just ask about your spirituality."

The longsword was incredibly sharp. When it encountered scales on the body's surface, hard enough to withstand bullets, it encountered some resistance but still managed to pierce through. The intense heat instantly destroyed the waiter's brain tissue.

So strong!

Behind him, Sophia couldn't help but think. When they parted that day, this guy wasn't this powerful yet, but now he's become like this.
But before she could even express her feelings, something strange happened.

"Hahahaha!"

The mutilated corpse on the ground was emitting a piercing laugh.

Even though his brain had been burned out, he was still smiling with his mouth wide open.

"You are the fools!"

"Twilight is approaching, but the tide of the times cannot be stopped!"

He laughed loudly while continuing to utter incomprehensible words.

Lu Ze frowned slightly. He sensed something was wrong, as if something was happening invisibly.

The waiter's face was completely pale, as if he had bled to death. Deep within his abdominal cavity, something golden emerged from the flesh and blood, faintly glowing.

—It was a yellow and black key.

Something is wrong!
Lu Ze looked down sharply and was shocked to find that the blood had somehow covered the entire floor of the washroom. Strangely, the blood hadn't dissolved in the water; instead, it had spread like a living snake, forming a complete magic circle across the floor.

The center of the magic circle seemed to form a blood-red gate, and the doorknob was located in the key in the corpse's abdominal cavity.

The blood veins are bright red and slightly glowing; it's already activated!

"leave here!"

Luze turned around and shouted to Sofia.

"boom!"

His body instantly transformed into a ball of flame and flew rapidly outwards.

However, the space in the washroom suddenly became distorted, and even with Lu Ze sprinting at full speed, he couldn't get through the short distance!

Damn!

He cursed under his breath, and was about to consider what other methods to try, when he heard the waiter's frantic voice continue shouting, "Although I don't know where you're going, there will definitely be enough malice waiting for you there!"

Then, he uttered a word in Old Hermes:
"Door!"

As the word was uttered, the world instantly distorted; the washroom vanished completely, replaced by countless illusory objects. They appeared outside the magic circle, then quickly disappeared again.

Luze turned around and saw that Sophia had also been affected and was staring in astonishment at everything outside.

Were we "teleported"?

As he was thinking this, he suddenly felt the scenery outside gradually return to normal.

Looking around, he realized he seemed to be in an underground building.

　Thank you, dear reader, for the 100 reading coins you donated (just one space). This person's name is one space; I simply couldn't type it.

　　Also, the pacing of the previous chapter was a bit off, so I fixed it this morning, changing the use of a revolver to commanding demons.
