Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 427 His name is Blood Cultivator? Is he famous?
"call!"

The raging wind whistled in Anderson's ears. He looked down and saw nothing beneath his feet, only the golden seawater rushing past him. Looking up again, he saw the large ship with black sails drawing ever closer.

That was both dangerous and exciting!
Anderson thought to himself. Then he suddenly felt his body sink, as if Luze was pulling him down rapidly toward the pirate ship.

On the rapidly enlarging ship, Anderson saw the noisy pirates on the deck. Some were brandishing long knives, while others were raising guns and firing at them, smoke billowing from the muzzles, but the bullets were slow and couldn't catch up with them.

At the bow of the large, black-sailed ship stood a man of medium build. Because of the rapid descent, he couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he sensed that the man's eyes were filled with intense malice.

"Boom."

Anderson's mental activity lasted only a brief moment before Luzer brought him down to the middle of the deck, which was the center of the pirates' encirclement.

"Kill him!"

The pirates were fierce and savage, giving them no time to react. They pounced on the two men as soon as they landed, slashing at them with their weapons.

They're just a bunch of rabble with no extraordinary abilities; watch me wipe them out quickly.
Anderson was about to use his abilities to resolve the situation when he suddenly saw a blood-red scene before him.

"boom!"

Centered on them, a large area around them instantly cleared out. The pirates who were baring their teeth and claws at them just a second ago were now exploding into fireworks of flesh and blood, scattering across the deck with a crash.

Fear swept across the deck like a gust of wind, and the once noisy deck fell silent.

Everyone was staring at the center, at the man in the blood-red robe. Many pirates wore blank expressions, seemingly unable to accept what had just happened.

The pirates looked at Luze, and Luze looked at them. He swept his gaze over the group of men one by one.

The highest sequence is 6, and there are a few lower ones. However, their bodies also exude an even more filthy and depraved aura, the source of which is unknown.
He then turned his gaze to the bow of the ship, where the man standing seemed to be the leader of the entire vessel.

The man was wearing a linen shirt and a dark jacket, his lips were purple, and his eyes held a strong malice that he tried to suppress but could not hide. At this moment, beneath that malice lay a hint of fear.

"Gilchias, the second mate of the 'Undying King' and the 'Slaughterer'!"

As an adventurer and bounty hunter, Anderson immediately recognized this frequent name on the wanted posters. "The official bounty for Rune is 9500 pounds!"

£9500? That's half of my cash!
Lu Ze thought to himself, scrutinizing the other party and using the Shepherd's ability to sense that the other party was a Sequence 5 Extraordinary.

Souls are used for shepherding, bodies are sold for bounties.
Just then, Gilchias at the bow of the ship spoke.

"A blood cultivator?"

he asked tentatively.

Lu Ze looked up at him.

This guy actually figured out who I am?

I had altered my appearance when I attacked Sodrak Palace; he probably guessed my identity based on my demeanor.
【Blood Monk】. Is this Gascoigne's title? It must have appeared recently, right?
Is this title very famous?

Anderson thought to himself.

Because he was trapped in this sea area, he had not received any new information for a long time, and he was unaware that a crazy man had declared war on the royal family of Rune for a group of useless poor people.

"I'll leave this to you."

Luzer ignored him and instead told Anderson, "That guy is mine."

"Calm down, don't make a move. The 'Undying King' admires your madness. If you join us, you'll definitely receive excellent treatment."

Sweat beaded on Gilchias's back as he tried to persuade his opponent. He knew his chances of winning were slim, so this was the only way he could stall. Just as Luze had suspected, Gilchias had taken the risk of guessing that Luze was the [Blood Monk] based on his abilities and condition. He had hoped to intimidate his opponent and increase his bargaining power with this move, but unfortunately, the other party wasn't buying it at all.

"brush!"

In response to Gilchrist, Luze used a blazing spear formed from crimson flames. Ignoring Gilchrist's attempts to persuade him, he continued to carry out the division of labor he had just performed with Anderson and launched an attack.

Gilgamesh dodged the attack, but anger began to rise on his face. He was the second mate of the Pirate King; how dare they treat him like this!
"boom!"

His body suddenly swelled up, tearing his clothes apart rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, Gilchrist transformed into a colossal creature nearly three meters tall—his skin was dark and sinister, his eyes were crimson and filled with malice, his goat horns were curved and extended from his head, covered with strange and mysterious patterns, he had bat wings on his back, and ghostly blue flames floated around him, giving the air a strong smell of sulfur.

Demonized!
Gilchias is a Sequence 5 "Apostle of Desire"!
No wonder he suddenly stopped the pursuit; it turns out that "malice perception" was automatically triggered, indicating that there were dangerous individuals on the oncoming ship.
Just then, a crimson light flashed in Gilchias's eyes, and he spoke:
"die!"

That is the filthy language of the devil, a powerful curse filled with malice!
Luze swayed violently, blood streaming from his eyes and nose. However, the impact he received was far less than Gilchrist had anticipated!

The other person quickly regained their balance and gave him a disdainful look.

"Is that all?"

His tone even sounded a little disappointed.

How can it be!

Where did I go wrong?

Gilchrist thought to himself, and without hesitation, he immediately launched his next attack.

"Whizzing!"

Numerous dark blue fireballs rapidly formed around him, about to shoot towards Lu Ze!

The eerie blue flames illuminated his demonic form, making him appear terrifying and bizarre.

Lu Ze began to speak:
"Go to hell."

Both are obscene words, both contain curses.

"what--"

Gilchrist screamed in pain, feeling as if his brain had been pierced by a wooden board studded with red-hot nails! The language uttered by the other was far more filthy and insane than he could bear, even for a demon like himself!
"boom!"

The fireball exploded out of control, and flames instantly engulfed his body!
"call!"

A fierce wind howled and blew away the flames. It was the gale created by Gillesias flapping his wings, which he used to dispel the flames burning on his body.

His entire body was covered in burns of varying degrees, but they were not fatal; instead, they ignited a furious rage within him.

Let's fight this guy!

Gilchrist thought to himself, drawing his magma sword and activating his Desire Avatar, ready to fight his opponent with all his might!
But the spot where Lu Ze was just standing is now empty.

Gilchrist looked at the open space, and suddenly Luze's illusory body appeared in his eyes.

Possessed by an evil spirit!
