Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 325 The Apostle of Desire vs. the Hedonists
The woman's voice mingled with the cries of the dead; though faint, it remained clear amidst the clamor.

Lu Ze heard that voice.

She wasn't speaking, but merely murmuring and humming softly. Her voice was full of tenderness, yet also provocative, as if it could easily stir up desires in people's hearts, urging them to release them and immerse themselves in endless pleasure.

Lu Ze stopped abruptly, a pained expression on his face. A crimson glow appeared on his face, and he felt his mind teetering on the brink of collapse under the influence of that voice.

He seemed to be hallucinating; he saw lush foliage, roots twisting and turning as if to cover the entire universe. The stems and leaves were full of life, yet carried an endless eeriness. It was as if everything in the world would become part of the plant, multiplying and expanding together with these branches and leaves.

Lu Ze's consciousness dissipated, as if submerged in the lush vegetation, becoming one with it.
until--

"Wow—"

The surging, illusory sound of the ocean waves echoed in his mind, dispelling the woman's voice.

"Well!"

Lu Ze jerked awake from his delirious hallucination.

He quickly looked down and saw buds wriggling and growing on his arm. It was as if these buds had gained their own consciousness, wanting to grow organs and reproduce on their own.

"brush!"

Lu Ze used his hand as a knife, shaving off the fleshy buds without hesitation, and then spat out a fireball, burning all the fleshy buds to ashes.

"what happened?"

Sharon asked in a low voice from the void beside her.

The other person's behavior just now was very strange. She thought he had just gone crazy again, but seeing his subsequent actions, she felt a strange sense of familiarity. It was very similar to the way those libertines would lose control.
"call"

Looking at the remaining ashes on the ground, Lu Ze felt a wave of fear wash over him.

Having been a cryptic inquirer for a long time, he roughly guessed what had happened. His state just now was probably due to hearing that voice and being affected by the voice's owner.

How could such a tiny sound have such a terrifying effect?

You know, even the mad ramblings of the real creator wouldn't have such a severe impact on him!
It seems that the owner of the voice is an evil god who is even more dangerous than the true creator.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask Sharon, "Do you know which evil god the Rose School worships?"

“He was originally a bound god, but later he seemed to be corrupted by some evil god,” Sharon replied. “From my observation, those who have fallen into uncontrollable hedonism occasionally call that being ‘the Mother Tree of Desire’.”

The Mother Tree of Desire?

OK, I remember.

Lu Ze thought to himself.

After a short rest, he led Sharon to continue their advance.

"This is our limit. If we go any further, Steve will spot us immediately."

She warned.

Lu Ze stared at the door at the end of the corridor. A thick stench of blood was spreading out. He wondered how many people those two guys had killed to create such a strong smell. There was no doubt, this was the place.

So, what method should be used to begin the initial attack?
He thought for a moment, quickly came up with an idea, and a cold smile appeared on his face because of it.

You like indulging in sex, don't you?

Inside the room.

Jason, the "living corpse," is enjoying the flesh and blood of the dead. The generous Count of Andes, a supporter of the Rose School, provides them with plenty of fresh blood, and in return, they help each other's cause.

The young servants sent by the Earl were of excellent quality, and Jason liked them very much.

But a strange thing happened: although he was already full, he felt increasingly hungry. The fresh, pungent smell of blood lingered in his nostrils and mouth, fueling his appetite. Jason was puzzled, but he continued to eat. However, this hunger wouldn't subside; instead, it churned up from his stomach and surged straight to his brain.

hungry!
So hungry!

Hunger tormented him; his eyes turned bloodshot, and his heart pounded violently, as if it would break its ribs.

Perhaps we could try the flesh and blood of an extraordinary being?
For some reason, Jason suddenly had this thought. When he looked up at the other side of the room, he noticed that Steve, on the other side of the room, had also stood up from his chair, his eyes gleaming with a longing for the soul.

His inner desires also seemed to be growing rapidly!
"We're under attack!"

Steve struggled to control his emotions and shouted at Jason, "Get up now!"

attack?

Jason, tormented by desire, took some time to understand Steve's words. Because of their long-held philosophy of hedonism, they were completely defenseless against lust. He had never craved fresh flesh and blood so much, especially from this powerful and extraordinary being before him.
Normally, he would never have dared to think of attacking Steve, who was superior to him. But now, it was as if a seed of desire had been planted in his heart, and then, nurtured by his own actions, it grew rapidly into a towering tree.

"brush!"

Jason watched as Steve transformed from his normal state into his vengeful spirit mode, and couldn't help but feel regretful, because he had lost the chance to bite off some flesh.

As he transformed into a vengeful spirit, Steve had already gone ahead, passing through the wooden gate to search for the attacker.

"Go to hell."

Through the door, Jason vaguely heard a cold and crazy voice.

"boom!"

The next moment, the door was kicked open from the outside, and Steve tumbled in, crashing onto the floor. The more powerful he was when he floated out, the more pathetic his fall was.

"It's Sharon!"

Steve clutched his head and cried out in pain, "We've been attacked by her!"

Jason quickly did as he was told and cast a death spell.

"Roar!"

The mangled corpses on the ground cried out and struggled to their feet. Jason had turned them into zombies, and they were now under his control. They staggered towards the outside. However, these zombies suddenly attacked Steve on the ground, their terrifying mouths gaping wide, and pinned him down.

They want to feast on flesh and blood!
Under the influence of some strange ability, their desire for flesh and blood became incredibly strong!

"Go away!"

With a roar, Steve unleashed his power, far surpassing that of the undead, and threw the undead off him, transforming back into a vengeful spirit.

At the same time, Jason finally saw the attackers outside through the broken door:
Sharon, whom Steve had discovered, was nowhere to be found. Only a young man in a red robe stood outside the door. He looked at Jason with an enigmatic smile, as if he were the embodiment of desire. When Jason looked directly at him, intense emotions and impulsive lusts would fill his mind.

The power of the "Apostle of Desire" is "to control desires"!
For these hedonistic individuals, this ability is extremely deadly!
