Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 238 Transformation
"Splash! Splash!"

The silver-white cylinder spun, making a crisp metallic click, before Lu Ze slapped it back into the gun barrel.

He then pointed the revolver at himself.

"What are you going to do?"

Eyes slowly grew out of Lanius's eye sockets, and as soon as he could see clearly, what came into view was Luzer's current crazy behavior.

Lu Ze did not answer, but instead pulled the trigger repeatedly with a cold smile.

“Click, click, click”

The sound of revolvers repeatedly missing their targets echoed through the sewers, a frenzied act clearly witnessed by Lanluus. Even though his will had been corrupted by the offspring of the evil god, he still instinctively felt fear!
He must be stopped!
Lanius, enduring the lingering pain in his abdomen, was about to struggle when he heard the revolver continue firing:

"Click, bang!"

Lu Ze won the lottery.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Although Luze won the prize, it was Lanluus who let out a terrible scream. He covered his head, howling and convulsing, like a live fish pulled ashore, arching his back, jumping, and rolling from side to side on the ground.

The "Aura of Pain" was still in effect, causing the pain felt by Luze to be reflected back onto Lanius.

Luze also felt an excruciating headache, as if a red-hot iron rod was violently churning deep inside his head. But seeing Lanius's intense reaction, it was as if the other person was sharing some of his pain, which actually made him feel much more relieved.

He stood still for a moment, allowing his head injury to heal somewhat, before opening the magazine again, ejecting the spent cartridge, and loading a bullet. This time, however, he wasn't loading an ordinary bullet, but an extraordinary one—one mounted on an ammunition belt, its bottom engraved with intricate and unusual patterns!

Because it's difficult to succeed the first time, he used regular bullets in order to accumulate luck and get five blank shots in the next "spin".

After getting ready, Lu Ze once again pressed the revolver against his temple.

"Click, click"

The crisp sound of the revolver firing into the air echoed again. Lanius, who was still convulsing, suddenly stopped, and then frantically fled in the direction away from him.

"Don't run."

Lu Ze stepped on his back and said with a sneer, "Didn't you want to eat me?"

"You're insane! You're insane!"

Lanius screamed in terror, but he could still hear Luzer pulling the trigger repeatedly, once, twice, five times!

The "Lucky Wheel" revolver gathered powerful spiritual energy at this moment, and the silver light on its surface was almost dazzling. Lu Ze put down the revolver and was about to aim at Lanius when the latter suddenly struggled and escaped from under his feet.

"Guwa."

The filthy, blasphemous cries of an infant rang out once more, and Luze swayed, blood flowing from his nose and eyes simultaneously. The distant murmurs of the true creator at the top of the sequence, and the loud cries of the evil god's offspring right before him, assaulted his mind at the same time.

Luze was momentarily dazed. When he regained his senses, he found that Lanluus had already run out of the range of the pain's influence, and the once shining "Lucky Wheel" had dimmed somewhat, as if it had been frightened by the cry.

Fortunately, it only slightly affected the effect.
The powerful effect accumulated through luck on the revolver was still active, so Luze raised the revolver, aimed it at Lanius, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

An extremely loud sound emanated from the revolver. The already highly destructive bullet was further amplified, striking Lanius precisely in the back of the head like a cannonball!
"Pfft!" His head exploded instantly, turning into countless splattered drops of blood that splashed onto the sewer walls and floor. The headless corpse continued running forward for several more steps before collapsing and falling onto the filthy, muddy ground, where it lay motionless.

Lu Ze stood still, coldly staring at the corpse, without immediately approaching.

His intuition told him that Lanius wouldn't die so easily.

Their battle had been going on for a while, but so far, no one had caught up. Red Gloves was probably in a tough fight; Mr. A was a shepherd like him, but Mr. A had been a shepherd longer, and his proficiency and the quality of the souls he tended were definitely superior.

Sure enough, the headless corpse remained still for only a short while before it began to convulse.

"Pfft! Smack!"

Lanius’s bloody skin cracked open, and then a blood-red body broke free and emerged from it.

Like a huge, fleshy worm, the thing emerging from the headless shell was bloated and twisted, covered with countless hideous human faces. Upon closer inspection, it looked like the pained faces of streetwalkers.

"Child, I will protect you."

The head of the worm could be vaguely seen as the upper body of Lanius. His abdomen was still protruding, but without the skin covering it, a fleshy mass could be seen, vaguely resembling limbs.

At that moment, Lanius was murmuring something to the lump of flesh.

An intense and terrifying aura spread out; it was a terrifying pressure that only the offspring of gods possessed!
Damn!

What the hell is this!

Luze couldn't help but curse inwardly. Lanluus had been twisting and contorting throughout the battle, and in the end, he had become this grotesque and terrifying. A kind of sacred yet blasphemous, insane yet twisted feeling emanated from him.

Perhaps all of this is because of the lump of flesh that Lanluus is holding, that thing that seems to be the offspring of an evil god. Unable to be born, and with the mother body attacked by Luze, that thing could only modify the mother body in this way, and in doing so, it also became a distorted form!
"Wow"

A clear cry came from the direction of Lanluus, and the filth and contamination in the sound were so real that they gave Luze a strong shock.

"My child, you're hungry too, aren't you?"

"Rannius said gently, then looked up at Luzer."

"Shoot-"

On his skinless face, his mouth slowly split open to the sides.

"boom!"

Lu Ze instinctively sensed the threat and quickly dodged to the side. He felt a gust of wind rush past him, followed by an impact and a loud bang.

"Wow."

The sewer collapsed, and Lanius's massive body slammed against the corner wall, sending bricks and dirt raining down. A rush of fresh air filled the air, and Luze looked up to see a patch of black sky peeking through the broken top of the sewer.

After transforming into something unlike a human, Lanluus's power increased dramatically. Looking at this enormous monster, Luze's brows furrowed involuntarily.

How do we solve this problem?
