Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 435 Split
"boom!"

The wooden door was violently blasted open, and a huge black knight strode in.

His eyes flashed with a piercing red light, and with a single sweep, they locked onto Luze and Leomaster, who was dressed in a linen robe. He raised his greatsword high and brought it down with tremendous force. A sharp wind pressure instantly filled the narrow room, and objects seemed made of paper, splitting in two at the slightest touch.

"what!"

Leomaster cried out in alarm, staggering backward but crashing into a heavy object and falling to the ground, watching as the greatsword rapidly enlarged before him. Luzer reached out and grabbed his linen robe, pulling him sharply backward.

A flash of deep black light streaked past, and the floor in front of Leomaster was as soft as tofu, deeply slicing into it by the greatsword.

On either side of the sword mark, dark light surged and flowed, instantly eroding and corrupting the surrounding land!

So sharp!
Lu Ze was secretly alarmed.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when the black knight moved again, raising his sword with such speed that he could barely see it, slashing upwards in a deadly arc.

"boom!"

Crimson flames erupted wherever the greatsword struck, but Lu Ze was no longer among them.

"Flame Leaps!"
He himself had already flashed to Leomaster's side and grabbed his arm. The guy was terrified by the scene of the battle, shrinking into a corner and trembling with fear, unable even to run away.

"stand up!"

Lu Ze still needs him to tell him more information, so he can't abandon him for the time being.

"Kick!"

The burly black knight took a very long stride, reaching them in a single step, and unleashed a slash that seemed to annihilate their souls.

"boom!"

The jet-black giant sword did not strike the human body; it merely stirred up a ball of crimson flames, which blazed brightly and suddenly illuminated the dim room.

The Black Knight looked up abruptly, turning towards the doorway, where he saw Luze appear, dragging Leomaster by the arm.

"Find a place to hide."

He pushed the other person away.

Leomaster hurriedly lowered his head and ran away, disappearing somewhere unknown.

"The Saint of Black, is it?"

Lu Ze sneered at the tall knight, "Come here, let's continue."

As he spoke, he simultaneously spread his arms.

Lava erupted from his right palm, rapidly solidifying into a blazing greatsword burning with eerie blue flames. Meanwhile, a rib had appeared on his left palm, sharp at one end and blunt at the other, appearing crystal clear and white.

"The Sword of Magma" and "Pain"!
"Dengdengdeng!"

After finding Luze again, the "Black Saint" paused only briefly before raising his heavy, broad straight sword once more with both hands. He charged across the hall towards Luze like a black mountain, pressing down heavily upon him!
Lu Ze coldly watched his rapidly approaching figure, and when he was only three or five meters away, he suddenly raised his left hand upside down by his ribs.

"puff!"

Without any hesitation, he fiercely plunged the white bone spur deep into his own abdomen!

At the same moment, the sensitivity of all the senses increased dramatically, and intense pain flowed into the brain through the overheated nerves, almost drying out the brain. Simultaneously, the compatibility between the lamb within and one's own spirituality also surged!

"Well!"

Lu Ze couldn't help but let out a low, mournful cry, his expression twisted to the extreme.

"Roar--"

Opposite him, the "Black Saint" abruptly stopped, a deep, resonant sound emanating from his helmet. Even his blood-red eyes flickered, clearly indicating he was experiencing immense pain!
"Boom!" Everything around began to shake, and the entire dream was on the verge of collapse, as if the dream's owner was stimulated by the intense pain and could not maintain his sleep!

Is it cool?

Luze had been waiting for this opportunity. At this moment, he fully activated the soul of Gilchrist within him, unleashing the full power of the "demon." The magma sword grew even more intense, its blue flames burning fiercely.

Lu Ze gripped his sword with both hands and thrust it down with all his might toward the helmet of the "Black Saint"!

"boom!"

The magma greatsword struck its target without any surprise, sending back a heavy, sluggish feedback, as if the attack had been absorbed by the armor and had not damaged the body inside.

The jet-black helmet absorbed the damage!
"Clang."

As a result, it shattered into pieces and fell to the floor, fully revealing its owner's face.

It's him!

Lu Ze gripped his greatsword and took the opportunity to see the face inside the helmet.

The tall knight had a wrinkled face and jet-black hair, giving him a weathered and profound appearance. He looked exactly like Leomaster, except that his eyes gleamed with a deep red light.

They seem like two different sides of the same person!
In an instant, it was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in Lu Ze's mind. He understood the current predicament of the Black Saint and also learned the cause of death of the Aurora Society members!

The world in my dream was shaking violently, as if it were experiencing an earthquake.
"Boom!"

Lu Ze suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in bed.

He found himself still surrounded by darkness; the night was not yet over. The dream had been forcibly ended. It seemed that the intense stimulation from the "pain" had affected the dream's owner, bringing him back to reality.

I need to fall asleep quickly.
Lu Ze subconsciously thought this, turned over in bed and closed his eyes.

Using meditation, he quickly returned to the dream.

Upon re-entering the dream world, Luze was no longer in the prison, but had returned to the square inside the monastery.

"what!"

He heard a scream from beside him and looked over to see Anderson. The guy had stopped building ships; the timber and axe were lying on the ground, and he was standing next to a mural.

"It was you! You scared me!"

Anderson relaxed slightly after recognizing him. "You're exploring this dream?"

"Ah."

Luze casually responded to him, glancing at the mural beside him. The mural was extremely similar in style to the one in the temple explored by [The Sun], indeed the work of Urolius.

"Foolish snake."

He couldn't help but recall the "Life School" speaker's evaluation of Him, shook his head, and began to analyze what he had just seen.

First, Leomaster had said that he was leading the pilgrims, so theoretically he should be the strongest among them;

Secondly, the "Black Saint" has the exact same appearance as Leomaster;

Finally, the deceased members all exhibited characteristics of split personality, and the messages they left behind indicated that an additional personality had been added to their bodies.

Taking all of this into account, that island could very well cause a split in a person's personality, resulting in conflicting personalities!

That prison was a shared dream of the Black Knight guards and the ascetic prisoners. Both the ruthless true form and the relatively kind and pure personality belonged to the "Black Saint," Leomaster!
