Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 97 The Death of Sharon
"go to hell."

Luze spoke softly to Mrs. Sharon in Hermes.

His throat was burned and his mouth was cracked; just uttering a few simple words caused the wounds to reopen and blood to gush out.

Hearing his vicious curse, Mrs. Sharon almost burst out laughing. If it weren't for her occult knowledge confirming that her curse truly originated from him, she would have doubted his sanity.

However, in the next instant, Mrs. Sharon's smile froze.

In the invisible void, there seemed to be some subtle, hidden sounds flowing into the ears and acting on the brain.

"Boom!"

Like the veins of black tree roots suddenly bulging out, they rapidly extended across the surface of her skin.

"what!"

Mrs. Sharon screamed, clutching her head. The spider silk that had been reaching for Luze suddenly lost its momentum and drooped down. Countless blood vessels appeared in the whites of her eyes, making the world before her seem a bit red. Against the red background, she saw Luze, who had been charred black, slowly getting up.

With every movement, his body tore open and bled. But soon, his skin and flesh began to heal, breaking through the scabs and returning to normal!

"You're not a Mystic? You...you're a Listener, or a Rose Bishop?!"

Mrs. Sharon's voice was tinged with surprise and doubt. A black fireball once again gathered around her body, about to be fired at Luze.

I am your father.

Luze struggled to his feet, swaying unsteadily, and looked at her coldly, saying again in Hermes, "Die."

"puff!"

Blood gushed from Mrs. Sharon's eyes, ears, and nose, black veins bulging as if they were about to burst from beneath her skin! She let out an even more piercing scream, feeling her ears filled with frantic, delirious babbling. Her mind was spiraling uncontrollably into madness, and the world before her eyes began to distort.

Lu Ze was not faring well either. His spiritual energy poured out like a flood, making it difficult for him to stand. He collapsed onto the ice again.

In his blurry vision, he saw Mrs. Sharon trembling as she raised an ice spear high, about to shoot it at him.

"Go to hell!"

As if trying to wring out every last drop of juice from his brain like a rag, Luze shouted again in Hermes.

"what--"

Mrs. Sharon screamed shrilly as all the thick, black veins on her body burst open, oozing black, foul-smelling pus. Her hair began to swell and thicken, and her eyes were filled with pain and madness.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, her figure gradually shrank, eventually transforming into a shattered black magic wand. Her actual body appeared not far away, the black veins on her skin fading, but her mind was still on the verge of spiraling out of control.

At the same time, Lu Ze's mind went blank. He fell forward and crashed onto the ice.

Just as he was about to lose consciousness, the illusory sound of ocean waves finally echoed in his mind. This sound seemed to nourish his parched spirit, bringing him back to consciousness.

On the opposite side of Lu Ze, Lady Sharon had recovered somewhat while he was unconscious. When she saw him regain consciousness, Lady Sharon surprisingly did not attack. Instead, she showed fear, turned around, took a step back, and disappeared into nothingness.

Is she trying to run away?

Or are you going to hide and wait until I can't hold on any longer before trying to assassinate me?
Now that things had come to this, Lu Ze's inherent ruthlessness erupted. He reached into his pocket, took out the white bone flute that Azik had given him, held it to his lips, and blew it out forcefully!

He has already used up his last chance with the bone flute!

This was originally meant for Ms. M, but now it's just for use!

Another wave of frantic spiritual drain hit Lu Ze, his brain felt like it was about to split open, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak.

The crimson hue on the bone flute gradually faded until it disappeared completely. With the disappearance of the crimson hue, a pair of bronze double doors appeared and materialized in the void. With a creaking rumble, the doors opened. Countless dark green vines stretched out from behind the doors, covered with deformed tumors; upon closer inspection, these were revealed to be ugly faces resembling infants.

Wow, wow!

The ugly face began to cry out, its voice distorted and piercing to the soul. Lu Ze, who was merely affected, felt his frail spirit about to be destroyed.

Accompanied by cries, the previously empty space began to fluctuate. Mrs. Sharon's shapely body was forced out, her face still bearing traces of pain, yet she struggled on. Just as she was about to make a move, dark green vines attacked her, binding her limbs.

"Click, click"

Ice began to form beneath Mrs. Sharon's feet, enveloping and protecting her body.

However, the dark green vines were resisting the ice, which made the ice spread upwards extremely slowly.

Lu Ze struggled to his feet again. He searched the ground and finally found his revolver. Checking the cylinder, he found four Demon Hunter bullets inside, their mysterious patterns shimmering strangely in the crimson night.

Lu Ze closed the magazine and, dragging his battered body, slowly walked towards Mrs. Sharon.

Mrs. Sharon's face, which was half beautiful and half ugly, was now replaced by a near-out-of-control madness, but in moments of lucidity, she still showed a look of fear.

"do not come!"

She screamed and slammed the ice spikes at Luze.

Luzer's stomach was pierced. He stopped, slowly pulled out the ice pick, and continued to approach Mrs. Sharon.

"Please let me go. I'll do anything for you."

Sharon quickly switched to an extremely seductive tone, speaking in a pitiful and alluring manner. Her voice carried an indescribable allure, capable of instantly arousing people's most primal desire for pleasure. For this pleasure, Sharon had witnessed fathers and sons killing each other, husbands abandoning their wives, and desperately and painfully yearning for her.

"really?"

Lu Ze grinned, the sound of the ocean waves in his mind resisting the temptation. His facial skin was slowly repairing, making his smile more attractive. "Alright then, give me your heart."

With that, the revolver was already pressed against Sharon's forehead, and the trigger was pulled without hesitation.

"boom!"

The bullet shot swiftly from the barrel, but its speed gradually slowed before reaching Mrs. Sharon's forehead, as if it were passing through layers of invisible barriers, constantly disintegrating, the exorcising power and resistance gradually canceling each other out. Finally, the remnants of the demon-hunting bullet left a bloody gash on her forehead.

Despair washed over Mrs. Sharon's face; she seemed to have given up completely, and her long hair began to grow wildly.
She's about to lose control!

"Bang bang bang!"

But Lu Ze wouldn't give her that chance. He fired three shots in quick succession, the demon-hunting bullets blasting out in a line, prying open that beautiful yet ugly head, sending her brains flying out along with the skull, falling onto the ice and steaming.

"crunch-"

The dark green vines slowly retreated, and the bronze gate closed behind them.

They finally killed her.

Lu Ze took a deep breath.

He had intended to pull out a dagger from his pocket and take the other man's heart. But as soon as he made the movement, he felt all his strength drain away, and he could only slowly sit down and wait for his strength to return.

Beneath the pitch-black sky, a handsome yet ferocious man with skin a mixture of charred black and fair skin sat expressionlessly on the ice, staring at a headless, delicate body.

The scene was both bizarre and somewhat comical.
