Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 320 The Wolf and the Shepherd

Luze heard the lambs crying.

Just a few seconds ago, he was in his bedroom, holding his cat and looking up at the blood moon. Suddenly, a mournful sound entered his ears without warning. The sound seemed to come from a very far place, very faint, yet incredibly clear, as if it were directly affecting his soul.

The voice was calling to him, pleading for his salvation.

It's a lamb!
My lamb has been hurt!
Among the hundreds of connections on the soul, one suddenly became unstable, as if the being on the other end was about to lose its life force. Lu Ze's spiritual intuition immediately told him what had happened.

He sensed the increasingly faint connection and pinpointed the lamb's location.

Is it at the textile factory?
It's too far; if I run there, I definitely won't make it in time!
After a moment's thought, Lu Ze quickly stood up and activated "Grazing" at the same time. Inside his body, Mr. A's soul struggled and howled, forcibly driven, and also activated the "Grazing" ability.

"Grazing" superimposed on "Grazing"!
Mr. A was forcibly driven to herd sheep, and his herding ability was—Apprentice Path Sequence 6, the Recorder's ability, "Recordation"!
"crash"

A phantom ancient book formed before Lu Ze, its pages flipping rapidly, followed by a high-pitched, ethereal voice:

"I come, I see, I record."

The book records a powerful ability called "travel," which allows him to overcome spatial barriers and travel directly to his destination through the spirit world!

"boom--"

Lu Ze felt his spiritual energy rapidly draining away, as if a dam had been opened to release a flood. This was because his spiritual energy was simultaneously burdened with two tasks of "herding" and one of "recording," resulting in an unprecedented level of depletion!
"crunch-"

Fortunately, the semi-transparent door was finally completed, and the "journey" was successfully initiated. Although the "recording" effect is much worse than the original ability, and it's a one-time use, it's enough for the current situation!

"Luna, guard the house."

Lu Ze tossed the black cat in his arms, which swung its tail in mid-air to adjust itself before landing steadily on the bed. It looked at Lu Ze with reproachful blue eyes and meowed.

Lu Ze, however, had no time to spare. He strode eagerly into the opened door. His body traversed the spirit realm for an extremely short time, the surrounding colors instantly becoming vibrant, and the boundaries between things becoming indistinct.
When the surrounding environment became clear again, he had arrived at the open space of the factory and saw the ugly and terrifying monster under the blood-red moonlight, as well as the corpse lying behind the monster—his lamb, which was already dead.

He was a weathered old man, his abdomen ripped out, and his face still held a look of resentment as he died.

Old Jack.

When Lu Ze saw the deceased's face clearly, the name immediately popped into his mind.

The shepherd's extraordinary qualities allowed him to have a clear grasp of the flock and understand the situation of each lamb. In particular, Luze also established files, so he knew even more relevant information.

The more he knew, the angrier he became.

This poor old man had suffered greatly in the first half of his life, and in his later years he was homeless, only recently achieving a stable life. He was extremely grateful to Lu Ze and worked very diligently, always being the last to leave the factory each day.
As Lu Ze stared at the corpse, his expression gradually turned ferocious.

A faint, lingering wisp of soul rose from the corpse, drifting towards him through an invisible connection, merging with his spirit. He could sense the deceased's resentment, their intense pain, and their extreme emotions.

The dead lamb becomes one with the shepherd in this way.

Luze endured this pain, and in response to the lamb's emotions, he coldly looked at the monster.

The werewolf under the moonlight bared its blood-stained teeth, its black fur flaring menacingly. The blood moon seemed to have driven it to extreme madness and unbridled abandon, its bloodlust surging ever higher.

"Roar—" It seemed to have completely lost its mind, roaring at the presence that had suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Then, it pushed off the ground with its feet and pounced forward. The werewolf craved blood, craved the feeling of soft entrails bursting in its mouth. As if it were thirsting for blood, it opened its mouth wide and bit into the exposed neck of its opponent!
What greeted the beast was a ball of crimson flames.

"boom!"

Flames exploded inside its mouth, the extreme heat instantly scorching its oral cavity, leaving its tongue shriveled and charred.

"Woo——"

The intense pain in its mouth jolted the werewolf into a howl, its forward momentum instantly halted, and it stopped abruptly. Instinctively, it raised its hands to cover its mouth. However, only one arm could be raised.

"?"

The werewolf looked down in near confusion, only to find that where his left arm had once been was now completely bare. That arm, covered in black hair and with sharp, long nails, was now being held in the hand of the person in the red robe opposite him.

Blood gushed from the severed limb, and it belatedly felt the pain.

"Roar!"

The werewolf roared again, but this time the roar sounded somewhat weak, more like a show of bravado than substance.

The severed limb healed rapidly, and it abruptly turned to flee into the distance. However, the shadow beneath its feet disapproved of this idea, betraying its master and transforming into a black liquid that entangled its ankle.

"boom!"

The werewolf fell heavily to the ground. It struggled to its feet and saw Luze, whose expression had become calm, standing in front of it.

"You like to eat people?"

He asked this question.

The werewolf saw his arm, which he was holding, suddenly melt into a ball of red liquid and flow into his mouth.
"Ughhhhh."

The werewolf struggled, its body entangled in a dark shadow, rendering it completely immobile. The madness in its eyes had been replaced by extreme fear, and its mouth was forcibly opened to receive the injection.

After one arm came his other limbs, and in just a few minutes, the once terrifying beast had transformed into a bizarre and comical creature. It resembled a bloated, swollen spider with its limbs removed.

A tenacious life may not always be a good thing; even in such circumstances, it still maintains its clarity and vitality.

Lu Ze has no intention of letting him go yet.

"By the goddess above."

On the side closest to the wall, Constance, lying on the ground, stared wide-eyed, hardly believing what he was seeing.

What kind of extraordinary person is this?
terrible!

Although the other party's appearance saved him, their crazy actions also made him feel threatened. What if, after dealing with the werewolves, they turned on him?
