Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 525 Medici: The Witch is Really Pretty Good
Katarina screamed shrilly, blood gushing from her mouth, eyes, and ears, staining her white robes like vibrant red flowers blooming in the snow. Luzer's malicious curse had taken effect, and the Sequence 3 witch was suffering greatly.

Taking advantage of her momentary distraction, the storm surrounding Lu Ze intensified further. The raging air currents tore and grinded against each other, transforming into hundreds of extremely sharp wind blades, which then shot towards her!

A barrage of wind blades tore through the air, engulfing Katarina's beautiful body amidst a series of sharp explosions. Her limbs were easily severed, scattered into several pieces in the air, only to be further fragmented by the ensuing wind blades.
"Crack."

However, when the "White Saintess's" body was cut open, a crisp cracking sound rang out.

Her limbs and flesh were all turned into fragments of the ice mirror, and she herself had disappeared without a trace!
Where did they hide?
Lu Ze was alert and was about to activate his ability to destroy all the lenses in the area when suddenly—

"Cough cough!"

A sharp itch shot through his lungs, and he coughed violently involuntarily. A sweet, metallic taste rose in his throat, and he immediately vomited blood. The crimson blood fell onto the ice, instantly creating a cloud of steam. Almost simultaneously, he felt a high fever, profuse sweating, and difficulty breathing, as if he were extremely ill.

"plague"!
The pathogens released by the Sequence 3 Witch were terrifying. Luze's symptoms had just broken out when they rapidly deteriorated, evolving into a life-threatening condition in just a few seconds.

"whee."

The storm continued to rage, whipping up countless ice floes. Katarina's girlish laughter echoed, but her true form was nowhere to be found.

She was waiting for Lu Ze's defeat.

But Lu Ze merely raised his head coldly. His eyes, which had been bloodshot from illness, were now filled with a dazzling light. It wasn't the molten gold of a dragon, but a clearer, purer, and brighter radiance.

In other words, like sunlight.

"Ahem. God brings light to the world."

Suppressing his cough, Lu Ze raised his arms high towards the sky in a gesture of praise, as if embracing a divine gift. "The sun, like a warrior, joyfully marches forth from one side of the sky and circles to the other, and nothing can be hidden from its heat."

As he prayed, pure and clear light burst forth from his body, illuminating everything around him.

The light dispelled all impurities, the storm ceased, the dark clouds dissipated, and even the darkness Luze himself had unleashed cowered at his feet. The filthy viruses from the witch had nowhere to hide; in this pure light, they were completely evaporated and dried up.

The Solar Path, "The One Without Darkness," "The Realm Without Darkness"!
After advancing to Sequence 4, Luze's powers were further enhanced. He not only gained authority from the "Sun" pathway, but the highest level he could use also reached Sequence 4. The light he was emitting at this moment was the powerful ability of a Sequence 4 Darkness-Free Being. The light radiating from him created a Darkness-Free Kingdom, which had a great suppressive effect on abilities related to darkness and filth!

"Click, click!"

Bathed in intense light and heat, countless ice blocks collapsed and dissipated. Lu Ze's plague had long been cured. He squinted his eyes, increased his spiritual output, and allowed the clear area to continue to expand, gradually covering the entire ice surface.

Finally, Katarina appeared.

Bathed in such clear light, her beautiful face revealed extreme pain; her fair skin writhed, as if about to melt. She moved swiftly, wanting to leave this uncomfortable area of ​​light as quickly as possible.

Got you!

Lu Ze immediately raised his hand, and the radiance within his domain rapidly gathered in his palm, quickly condensing into a pure and blazing white spear. That spear was incredibly pure, as if composed entirely of sunlight!

He gripped the spear and hurled it towards the "White Saintess's" back. She was the only defilement in this world; there was no need to aim—the spear was already locked onto her! "Boom!"

In an instant, the spear traversed the vast distance between them, striking Katarina directly. It immediately expanded, transforming into a miniature sun, burning and shining on the sea surface.

"Zizzi."

Steam rose, and the light was blinding, reflecting the sun in the sky. The sacred flames were enough to completely incinerate all the filth within. There was no longer any mirror on the sea surface where Katarina could hide. The witch's tainted body was gradually purified within the sphere of light until it completely dissipated.

wrong.

Within this area, there is another place where a mirror exists.

In the captain's cabin of the Black Death, now broken in two, Tracy and her maid struggled to hold on against the lingering aftershocks of the battle. Behind them lay a shattered mirror on the floor—the very object Tracy had used to summon the White Maiden.

Suddenly, the largest side burst into flames, with jet-black flames rising up.

"Ok?"

Tracy turned around immediately; she could feel a great deal of spirituality emanating from the lens.

Sure enough, he saw his mother's figure in a white robe appear in the mirror. Katarina was still smiling sweetly, reaching out her hand, intending to pass through the mirror and return to reality—until the mirror surface turned a deep rusty red, which blocked her outstretched hand and severed her connection with reality.

Katarina suddenly stopped laughing.

Layers of illusory worlds began to appear inside the mirror. She suddenly stepped back, no longer trying to step out of the mirror, but instead turned and plunged into the depths of the illusory world, as if she wanted to leave through it.

But it was too late for her.

"what--"

The piercing screams seemed to come from another world, containing intense emotions of extreme fear and disbelief, shaking people's hearts. Soon, thick blood seeped from the mirror's surface, spreading across the entire floor.

The blonde maid trembled with fear at the sound, while Tracy, after her initial surprise, pushed the maid aside and rushed to the mirror.

"Hey! What's wrong with you!"

She called out urgently to her reflection in the mirror. Although she outwardly disliked her mother, she actually harbored complex feelings towards her.

But just then, a man's face appeared in the mirror. He had long red hair, a red mark like a banner between his eyebrows, and two deep, exposed wounds on his handsome face. He was smiling at him!
"Dengdengdeng!"

Tracy retreated in alarm, watching as a white figure emerged from the narrow mirror and entered reality.

—Her mother wore an unprecedentedly wicked smile as she arrogantly looked around.
