Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 440 Exploiting Weaknesses
The greatsword, jet black, was heavy and profound, seemingly containing endless shadows. A mere swipe in the mist could stir up the darkest, most desperate emotions in one's heart, capturing both body and soul with its blade.

At this moment, Lu Ze was facing this terrifying black greatsword, watching it grow infinitely larger in front of him.

"boom!"

The black greatsword ultimately struck only a ball of crimson flame; Luze's true form escaped at the last second before the crisis. As the flames rose, he appeared a dozen meters away from Leomaster.

"Blasphemers! Rebels! You defy the Lord's will and forsake the Lord's glory!"

Leomaster roared, and the air vibrated in response. His figure was indistinct in the thick fog, revealing only a dark and tall silhouette, with the crimson light in his eyes being excessively prominent. "I will unleash the Lord's wrath and punish you!"

At this moment, he no longer had the composed demeanor he had just displayed; instead, he appeared crazed and twisted, a perfect example of a fanatic.

He is indeed a madman!

As soon as Lu Ze landed, he quickly did two things. First, he tossed Luna, whom he was holding, far away. The little guy clearly understood the situation and ran off with her tail wagging. Second, he reached into his pocket and, in addition to throwing the cat away, pulled out a piece of crystal-clear white rib.

The "pain" after mutation!
"Dengdengdeng!"

Heavy footsteps came from the other side of the thick fog. Leomaster had already located him and was charging over, greatsword in hand.

"Ah"

Seeing this, Lu Ze smiled coldly, grabbed his ribs, and inserted them into his body without hesitation.

"puff!"

"what--"

As the ribs pierced their abdomens, their bodies became extremely sensitive, and the ultimate curse of pain erupted simultaneously on both of them! Even the "Black Saint" found this level of pain unbearable and cried out in agony.

Lu Ze seized the opportunity to retreat, while continuing to reach into his robes.

He then pulled a card imbued with spirituality and high status from deep within his robes. On that card was depicted a demonized Rossell, who enslaved human men and women.

"Abyss" brand!

The precious opportunity could not be wasted, and Lu Ze quickly absorbed the cards into his body.

"call!"

His aura surged instantly, emanating a bloodthirsty and cruel presence as if from the abyss. At the same time, his physique suddenly grew taller, his body swelled, his limbs became thicker, mysterious ram's horns appeared on his head, and fleshy wings like those of a bat sprouted from his back. Eerie blue flames danced around him, and a heavy smell of sulfur permeated the mist.

At this moment, he looked far more terrifying than a typical Sequence 5 demon.

The "Demonization" of Sequence 5 has been greatly enhanced by the simplified inclusion of the Abyss Cards!

"Blasphemer!"

In the mist, Leomaster finally recovered from the pain. He roared in fury and swung his black greatsword at Luzer.

His figure quickly became clear in the mist.

"Roar!"

Lu Ze roared, his right hand opening and closing to grasp a magma sword that appeared rapidly, burning with eerie blue flames. He raised the magma sword high, charging headlong at the black greatsword! "Thump—"

A dull thud followed immediately, the impact of the two weapons colliding creating a tremendous shock. The fog that had enveloped the area was quickly dissipated, and half of the square briefly became clear!
Lu Ze felt a powerful recoil, and his arm went numb. A look of astonishment flashed in his demonic eyes—because the magma sword had actually fallen into a disadvantageous position after colliding with the Black Knight's greatsword.

Even after all these enhancements, the magma sword was still no match for the Black Knight's greatsword. The intense heat failed to melt the greatsword; it remained as deep and cold as ever, profound and sharp, instead severely wounding the magma sword, cutting deep into it halfway.

“Crack.”

Leomaster gave him no chance to breathe, continuing to cleave Luze's magma sword bit by bit with increasing force. The magma sword emitted a series of sharp sounds, clearly on the verge of cracking!
"Go to hell!"

Lu Ze's eyes narrowed, and he called out to the "Black Saint" in Ancient Hermes.

It was an extremely filthy curse, using the voice of a demon as a medium, carrying the spiritual impact of the true creator, and it exploded in Leomaster's mind!

"Oh oh oh oh!"

The "Black Saint" immediately showed pain, and the pressure from the greatsword lessened considerably. Lu Ze took the opportunity to dispel the magma sword, flapped his bat wings, and once again distanced himself from him.

"They actually used the voice of the Lord to deal with His believers!"

Leomaster stared at Luzer, his eyes growing increasingly bloodshot. He was so enraged he could clearly hear the veins throbbing in his temples, as if they were about to burst!

"Desire control!"
Lu Ze had no intention of stopping. After activating "Filthy Words," an intense desire flowed across his body, enough to stir up the strongest emotions in anyone's heart. For extreme fanatics, this was absolutely a deadly weapon!
Leomaster was indeed affected, but he quickly realized something was wrong and tried to control his emotions.

But it's too late.

"Impact!"

Lu Ze, with all his might, stirred up the extreme emotions within the "Black Saint" and shouted.

His faith in the Lord, his anger at the blasphemers, the pain and struggle of his other personality, his pursuit of goodness, and his repentance for what he had done—all of these surged up at this moment and exploded in Leomaster's mind!

Luzer stirred up his desires not to harm his body, but to erode his spirit. At this moment, Leomaster's greatest weakness was the madness caused by having two personalities in his head, and Luzer exploited this to constantly damage his spirit.

It's like two people fighting, and one of them deliberately kicks the other's bad leg. It's despicable, but it's perfect for the lunatics of the Aurora Society.

"puff!"

Blood gushed from Leomaster's nose, eyes, and ears simultaneously. In an instant, he was in so much pain that he couldn't even make a sound!

Okay, it's gotten even worse.
Lu Ze sneered inwardly.

He didn't expect to defeat a demigod with just these skills; he simply saw a glimmer of hope.

Just then, the surroundings changed.

Leomaster's shadow spread rapidly, like a drop of ink spreading in water, turning the entire square black. A heavy, decadent atmosphere instantly filled the mist.

The black knight, treading on shadows, brought corruption to this world.
