Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 394 The Final Step

"Ahhhh-"

Georgina screamed shrilly, completely losing control and transforming into a grotesque monster. She had only been immersed in the illusory seawater for a fleeting moment, yet she had undergone such a mad transformation!
Lu Ze glanced at her coldly, and after confirming that she would only attack everything around her on instinct and would not block him, he immediately threw her aside.

"Wow—"

The river of blood flowed onward, continuing its journey towards the palace.

Meanwhile, Mr. A and his group joined Medici's side, besieging Prince Grove and Chunas alongside countless puppets.

"How can it be"

Prince Grove witnessed Georgina's transformation, and sweat immediately beaded on his forehead. She was a Sequence 4 demigod, yet she'd suffered a mental breakdown and turned into a monster simply from being swallowed by the river?

He quickly increased his height to ensure that the river water could not reach him.

Chunas followed suit and distanced himself, but he began to regret it. He had initially thought it would be an easy task, one that would even earn him face before the emperor. But reality was far more cruel; the Blood Cultivators truly lived up to their reputation, harboring terrifying secrets!

Prince Grove not only gained height, but he also noticed that Luze was moving towards the palace. He became anxious and decided to chase after him to stop him.
"Hehe, why are you flying so high? Are you scared?"

But at that moment, Medici let out a contemptuous laugh at Grove in the air.

"Yes, your enemy is a dignified Sequence 5, while you are merely a Sequence 3. In front of the king, you must act very cautiously. I believe your king will understand, right?"

"Hahahaha!"

The other two mouths cooperated perfectly, bursting into laughter.

"Shut up!"

Prince Grove was struck where it hurt; his burned face contorted, and his eyes turned bloodshot. The cloak behind him trembled violently—ripples of surging spiritual energy!

"Don't be angry. I understand that you're timid."

Medici smiled and tried to comfort him, but her words carried a clear mockery, "I want to know, how many years did it take you to reach Sequence 3? Yet you're still no match for a newcomer who's been an Extraordinary for a few years, and you're still being ordered around by a mortal king every day. How pathetic."

"I said, shut up!"

Grove was furious and stopped chasing Luze. Instead, he swooped down and engaged Medici in a fierce battle.

Helpless, Chunas had no choice but to cooperate and launch an attack as well.

Sodrak Palace was now in ruins, with many buildings collapsing due to the impact of the Blood River, bombardment, and the effects of the battle.

Amidst the ruins, a stunningly beautiful girl in a gorgeous dress appeared.

The girl had blonde hair and blue eyes, and her features were exquisitely beautiful. She carefully walked around the rubble on the ground, following the trail of blood. In the distance, she saw a towering river of blood and a fierce battle.

Yes, this young woman is Audrey Hall.

"Goddess!"

Audrey found an excuse to shake off her mother and leave the palace, chasing Luze all the way to the edge of the battlefield. As a "spectator," as a fellow member of the Tarot Club, she was determined to witness the final act of this spectacular assassination!

Under her watchful eye, the remaining two demigods of the royal family were entangled by flesh and blood puppets, while Luze herself manipulated the Blood River, rapidly advancing towards the palace.

"."

King George III sat on his throne, and at the edge of his vision, the figure of the arrogant intruder could already be seen.

"George, I'm here!"

Luze was also looking at the king. "I've come to you carrying their anger!"

He bore the weight of countless deaths, his figure appearing both mad and heavy. A surging river of blood encircled him, causing buildings to crumble wherever it went. Some guards rushed forward, trying to stop it, but were easily swallowed up.

"Your Majesty. Your Majesty!"

Inside the palace, many ministers were in complete panic and pleaded with the king, "Please make way for us for now."

King George III, however, sat somberly, his posture upright.

From any perspective, he cannot leave now.

Lu Ze moved quickly, reaching the steps of the palace in the blink of an eye. His blood-red robe was so conspicuous that it seemed as if the heavy stench of blood had already reached everyone's noses.

But just then, a calm voice rang out.

"Flesh magic is forbidden here." *Whoosh!*

The rushing river stopped abruptly, then, like an animal encountering its predator, it abruptly recoiled, flowing back into Luze's body. Medici, and all of Mr. A's flesh puppets, were also forced to end their summoning due to the river's influence!
Lu Ze turned around abruptly and saw that a slightly arrogant old man had appeared in the sky at some point.

The old man had a lot of silver in his black hair and no beard. He was calmly watching Lu Ze.

"Your Highness Delink."

Prince Grove flew to his side, bowing his head in shame.

The angel of the Augustus royal family, the Sequence 2 "Balancer", Delink Augustus!
"Ah."

Drinker paid little attention to Grove. He gently swept his hand downwards, and imperceptibly, the rules and order changed.

Lu Ze felt his aura instantly diminish, as if he had reached a balance with everything around him. Herding, foul language, shadow magic—all his abilities were greatly reduced in power in an instant!

Delink held up one finger to him.

"boom!"

Lu's body was instantly crushed, turning into a pool of blood and flesh.

Even so, Lu Ze did not stop. He struggled to recover and, dragging his mangled body, continued toward the throne. He climbed the palace steps one by one, leaving behind a trail of blood with each step.

[Temperance] Sir!
Audrey, watching this scene from afar, gradually had tears welling up in her eyes.

This guy is crazy!
Grove thought to himself, "Instead of trying to escape, they're recklessly storming the palace!"

"Rebels should be punished."

Delink pointed at Luze and spoke calmly.

And so, the dead guards rose again in a strange order, brandishing their swords and attacking from all directions!
"puff--"

Completely powerless to resist, Lu Ze stepped onto the last step before the palace. Before he could cross the threshold, he was pierced from all directions by the guards' swords.

The blade gleamed, lifting his body up as if sending him to the cross to bear the sins of his past.

"Clang. Clang."

Just then, the "Clock of Order" in the distance rang out to mark the time. Although it had crashed and its dial had shattered, it still reminded everyone present in this way that the New Year had arrived.

As for Luzer, he never reached the throne of George III before his death.

There's none?
This is the final step; George III's damned face is almost within reach!

On the verge of death, Lu Ze suddenly moved!
He grabbed his own head, and then—

"Thorn-"

Audrey, who was in the distance, covered her mouth in shock!

The headless body continued to move as the guard's blade pierced through it, eventually throwing its own head into the palace!

"what!"

The crowd inside the palace was thrown into chaos, terrified by the bloody head.

"Boom, boom"

The head slid across the floor and rolled all the way to George III's throne.

"who are you?"

The king looked down at the face, its features obscured by blood and gore, and coldly asked, "What is your purpose?"
