Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 237 The Aura of Pain
Dark veins bulged on Lu Ze's face, his expression a mixture of pain and surprise.

The intense ravings of the true creator echoed in his ears, resonating with the strange influence within him. The souls of the lambs he herded were severed from their connection, cowering and no longer responding to his commands.

He can no longer herd livestock!

The true creator has temporarily taken away his power by using Lanluus's curse!

"Damn it!"

Lu Ze couldn't help but curse.

He could hear extreme anger in the voice of the True Creator, who usually responded readily to Luze's prayers, bestowing upon him strength. But even the most benevolent god would not forgive a blasphemer who attempted to kill his own offspring—especially since the True Creator was an evil god!
"Wow—"

The illusory sound of ocean waves echoed in Lu Ze's mind and body. The ocean waves in his mind protected him from the spiritual erosion of the true creator, while the ocean waves in his body tried to dispel the influence of those strange auras. However, those auras were firmly fixed in his body and resonated with the true creator, making them impossible to expel in a short time.

Without hesitation, Lu Ze immediately took out a black iron-colored metal glove from his robes and put it on. The next moment, his figure suddenly became tall and imposing, as if he could dominate others. He pointed forward and solemnly spoke:
"Curses are forbidden here!"

He will use this extraordinary artifact to issue a ban and offset the curse that Lanius has placed upon him!
His spirituality was then drained away, and his own majestic voice echoed in the air. Lu Ze could feel the strange aura within him tremble slightly, but it was quickly restored by the whispers of the true creator, continuing to affect his body.

The curse brought by the wrath of the true god is not so easy to remove!

"hehe."

Lanius smiled wickedly, his eyes filled with undisguised malice as he watched Luze struggle in vain.

"I've changed my mind, I'm not running away anymore."

His bloodshot eyes were filled with greed as he licked his lips. "My child told me that there is something very precious inside you that I should eat you."

"Puff puff!"

A disgusting sound rang out, and the tumors on Lanluus's body writhed and grew larger, many of them bursting open and turning into clumps of bright red flesh, like blooming roses. As Luze's abilities were brought under control, the flames in the sewers gradually died down, and Lanluus's grotesque body appeared extremely terrifying in the flickering light.

Luze put away the black iron-colored metal gloves and gave him a disdainful look. Even with his "herding" ability restricted, he was still a Sequence 5 Extraordinary!
"Don't look at me like that!"

Lanius screamed madly as he grabbed a tumor from his body, ripped it off, and threw it at Luzer.

"boom!"

The tumor exploded in mid-air, turning into a large cloud of highly corrosive blood mist that enveloped Lu Ze.

At the same time, he followed closely behind and pounced on Lu Ze!

Lu Ze calmly watched the blood mist, crimson flesh rising from his body and weaving into a bright red cloak that enveloped him.

"A cloak of flesh and blood!"
"Chichi-"

Blood mist settled on the cloak, corroding and burning it relentlessly, emitting a sharp sound and a rising sense of disgust. Beneath the cloak, Lu Ze had already drawn a blood-red dagger.

"pain"!
He had more than just that one glove on him.

Since the true creator forbade him to herd sheep, he used extraordinary items to kill Lanius!
Lu Ze gripped the dagger, and a sharp pain immediately shot through his body, as if a tiny, razor-sharp knife was constantly cutting into his flesh. But Lu Ze was used to the pain and didn't mind at all. Even now, he endured the mad ravings of the True Creator.

"boom!"

With his other hand, the "Lucky" revolver fired, hitting Lanius's only remaining right eye precisely through the cloak.

"Aaaaaah!" Lanius, charging forward, covered his eyes and let out a miserable scream. Although his body was tough enough to withstand the power of bullets, his eyes were still vulnerable and were hit by Luze, who had mastered the "precision shooting" ability.

"brush."

Wearing a cloak of blood and flesh, Lu Ze reversed the blade of "Pain" and used it to cut his own arm. The cut was long and deep, and blood gushed out quickly, covering the surface of the dagger.

The "pain" that was originally a crimson blade became even more ferocious and terrifying after being smeared with blood.

Not only the blade, but the originally white hilt, which looked like it was made of bone, was also slowly changing color, as if it had absorbed the spiritual blood of the wielders, and gradually turned crimson.

An invisible force then spread outwards from Lu Ze, covering an area.

"Aura of Pain"!
Lanius was right within the aura's influence. He had been covering his eyes, relying on the power of his flesh to restore his vision, but now he suddenly looked up, his eyes revealing two bloody, gaping holes, and roared at Luze:

"You want to harm my child!"

As he spoke, he lunged forward, ready to attack him!
But how could Lu Ze give him the chance? He raised the blood-red dagger high and used it to pierce his own right leg.

"what!"

As he stabbed himself, Lanius's right leg jerked violently and stiffened uncontrollably. He had no time to react and immediately fell to the ground.

"grass!"

Lu Ze cursed under his breath, feeling a sharp pain shooting through his right leg, wave after wave, shooting toward his brain. But when he saw Lanius trying to get up, he broke into a maniacal laugh, twisting the dagger back and forth in the wound.

"Ahhhh!"

Lanius's cries grew even more pitiful. Hearing his wails, Luze gritted his teeth and sneered, suddenly feeling less pain. At that moment, he noticed Lanius's swollen belly, and a thought struck him. He drew his dagger and prepared to stab himself in the abdomen.

But before he could pierce the abdomen, the high bulge seemed to sense Luze's intention and began to move again, rising to Laneus's chest.

He dodged it again!
Lu Ze hesitated slightly, but he could no longer control his strength. The dagger pierced through his abdomen, creating another wound.

"Oh oh oh"

Lanius clutched his stomach and cried out in pain.

More and more tumors sprouted on his body, and he no longer had a normal appearance; he looked like a large monkey whose skin had been peeled off.

The offspring of the evil god are extremely cunning.
The only option is to eliminate the mother!

Luze's thigh wound had healed. He kicked out, knocking Lanius over, and before he could resist, he stomped on his head.

"Clang, clang, clang."

He opened the revolver, letting the bullets scatter all over the ground, leaving only one ordinary bullet.

"Splash! Splash!"

Lu Ze flicked the revolver's cylinder, making it spin rapidly, and then snapped it shut without even looking.

He pointed the revolver at his temple.
