Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 343 Stealing "Grazing"

"Well!"

Sensing the abnormality within his body, Lu Ze's expression changed slightly.

That fair left hand contained an invisible force, tightly gripping something within him.

Looking ahead, Lu Ze saw the owner of the hand.

She looked at Luze with a smile on her face. She looked a lot like Kate, but not exactly like her.

For example, she no longer had a robust body, and her face was less scarred, making her look much prettier. For example, she placed the greatsword on the ground, her hands empty. For example, the spiritual energy surging within her surged, and her size far exceeded that of before.

That wasn't the spiritual scale one would expect from a Sequence 5; the entire tomb passage seemed to tremble at her presence. Luze felt the Shepherd's Potion within him screaming, warning him that this lamb was beyond his capabilities!
"She's not a Sequence 5! She's a Sequence 4 demigod!"

Sharon's cries seemed to come from a very far place, ethereal and hazy.

Sequence 4!

Demi god!

Lu Ze could see nothing else; all he could see was the other person's smiling face and her words.
"You seem a bit different; it took me so many attempts to succeed."

Success? What did you succeed at?

Lu Ze instinctively sensed intense malice in the other person's words, and something inside her body was being peeled away little by little with the movement of her left hand.

No!

We can't let her succeed!
Lu Ze's eyes narrowed, and he began to try to resist the force, using his spirituality to grab that part and pull it back.

Then, he suddenly paused for a moment.

What was I about to do?
In that instant, Lu Ze forgot something again.

This brief moment of confusion was extremely dangerous. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the invisible force suddenly grew stronger and forcibly extracted something from Lu Ze's body!
"boom!"

Lu Ze's body jolted violently, feeling an unprecedented emptiness.

He soon understood the source of this emptiness.

His herding skills have vanished!

The lambs within him became uncontrollable, and his own power to restrain them vanished. These souls began to howl in agony, acting recklessly, rampaging wildly within him, assaulting his body and soul!
"boom!"

That was the sound of an explosion coming from inside his body; his soul instinctively craved his body and was fighting against him!

Lu Ze trembled, his body a battlefield of conflict. Among them, Mr. A's resentful soul was particularly powerful and frenzied, relentlessly tearing at his flesh and causing his body to disintegrate!
Opposite him, the demigod closed her eyes slightly, seemingly sensing the effects of the "herding" ability. Then, she opened her eyes and looked at Luze with great interest, observing the process of his physical collapse.

Her eyes were fixed on Lu Ze until a woman's figure suddenly appeared in her vision—a woman in a black court dress, with an indifferent expression and slightly pursed lips, as if suppressing intense emotions.

Sharon, "possessed by an evil spirit!"
"Ah"

The demigoddess let out a contemptuous sneer. Under Sharon's desperate control, her body stiffened, yet she could still move slowly. She reached out and gently patted Sharon's head, forcibly banishing her to the ground.

Her body became solid, no longer in its previous illusory state, but her delicate face became increasingly pale, even less so than when she was still in her spirit form.

"Who are you anyway?"

Sharon stared at the demigod and asked.

"Just a descendant of some impoverished family."

The other person spoke calmly, but the expression on their face clearly showed pride.

"You're clearly a demigod, so why are you hiding your identity and disguising yourself as a Sequence 5?" This was Sharon's biggest question. The other person had already reached Sequence 4 and could have explored the tomb on their own, yet they insisted on disguising themselves as a female warrior. And then, after achieving their goal, they wanted to eliminate their teammates—it was truly incomprehensible!
"I'm sorry, but this is Amon's grave after all."

The female demigod said calmly, "In such a dangerous place, I naturally hope that as many people as possible will come. However, although I hope you will share the risks for me, I am unwilling to share the spoils, so I have no choice but to ask you to die."

"."

Sharon stopped speaking and simply stared at the demigod with icy eyes.

Stop looking at me and come see your friends instead.

The female demigod completely ignored her gaze and simply pointed at Luze, "Do you know? Even among all extraordinary beings, the Shepherd's abilities are among the most powerful. However, they are precisely countered by our 'Thief' pathway."

"See that? When their 'herding' abilities are stolen, they go out of control due to the backlash from their own souls. Watch closely, such a scene is quite rare."

The demigod said this.

Sure enough, just as she said, Lu Ze's body gradually collapsed and eventually turned into a pool of writhing flesh and blood.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Luze descended into madness and chaos.

The souls within him were out of control; the consciousness of the lambs surged up, filling his mind. They transmitted their pain, despair, anger, and other extreme emotions to Luzer.

"I need a body! I need a body!"

"Stop, let me disappear, I don't want to suffer like this anymore."

"Damn you, Lu Ze, for the sake of the Lord, you shall die!"

Their cries echoed endlessly in Luze's mind.

Lu Ze watched as these wandering souls flew towards his heart. There, his sister's soul was tightly protected by her flesh and blood.

"boom!"

His soul crashed into his flesh, the impact causing him intense pain, and his flesh subsequently disintegrated!
This can't happen anymore!

"M!"

Lu Ze immediately shouted.

This idiot always shows up from time to time, saying all sorts of nonsense, but he doesn't show up at this crucial moment!
He intends to use the power of the "audience" approach to suppress these souls.

At the very least, Cecilia must be protected.
"coming."

As Luze called out, the red-haired, golden-eyed M materialized. However, she didn't seem to be in good condition; she appeared very ethereal, flickering like a faulty light bulb.

"Sorry, I got tricked by that demigod."

She said this, her voice rising and falling, barely reaching Lu Ze's ears, "The help I can offer you right now is limited."

"Hurry up! Stop talking nonsense!"

Lu Ze abruptly interrupted her, letting her do as she pleased. M then placed her hands on his chest, reaching for the wandering souls while releasing waves of soothing energy. The previously restless lambs gradually calmed down, with M especially using "soothing" on Mr. A multiple times, making the man languid and devoid of any will to resist.

"This state can only be maintained for three minutes; we must regain the 'herding' ability before then."

As soon as M finished speaking to Lu Ze, his body vanished with a "pop".
