Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 443 Split
"boom!"

A flash of blue musket illuminated Leomaster's chest with a dazzling light. It was more than just a flaming spear; it was a bullet that pierced weaknesses, a scythe that reaped lives!

Flames roared and burst forth, instantly reflecting a dazzling blue hue in the thick fog, as if ignited as well, swirling and rapidly spreading outwards. A fog-free space suddenly appeared in the center of the plaza, filled with swirling flames, intense heat, and ash.

"huh, huh"

Lu Ze, panting, slowly withdrew his outstretched arm and stopped attacking.

—Because it's no longer necessary.

The demigod-level "Harvest" and "Weakness Detection" were successfully activated. The Black Knight, charging wildly, had no chance to defend or dodge and was struck head-on by the flaming spear. Luze could feel that his opponent's life had been truly reaped!

Opposite him.

Leomaster, the Black Saint, remained frozen in place, his greatsword raised high. But the black greatsword had vanished, the shadow beneath his feet slowly receded, and the plaza, once shrouded in darkness, gradually returned to its original state.

A terrifying hole pierced through his massive body, completely robbing him of his life.

Through the large hole, one could see that a large fan-shaped area of ​​the ground behind Leomaster had been melted by the intense heat. The semi-fluid slurry was steaming with mist, a terrifying remnant of the hunter's deadly flaming spear.

"Click, click"

At the edge of the large hole, the black armor emitted a crisp sound as cracks rapidly formed, spreading across the entire suit of armor until finally—

"Wow!"

The entire suit of armor shattered into countless fragments, which fell haphazardly to the ground, turning into shadows like dirty spots.

The true form of the Black Saint was thus revealed.

Leomaster looked just like Luze had in his dream, dressed in a simple linen robe, his face weathered. Without the support of his armor, he resembled a devout, frail ascetic. The red light in his eyes had completely faded, no longer as frenzied as before.

Is this the kind personality that split off, or his original self?

The elderly ascetic glanced down at the gaping hole in his chest, then looked up at Luze. His dark eyes held a complex expression. His lips moved as if he had much to say, but in the end, he simply made the sign of the cross and sighed, saying:
"Lord."

The words fell to the ground along with the corpse.

Leomaster, the "Black Saint," is dead.

"Wow"

Just then, Lu Ze suddenly swayed, his face turning extremely pale. The sound of the ocean currents within him grew fainter and fainter, finally disappearing completely at this moment.

not good!

Get out of here quickly!

He rushed toward Leomaster, intending to escape by "traveling" with the corpse, because time was of the essence and he had no time to wait for the extraordinary properties to slowly emerge.

However, Lu Ze was ultimately too late.

The mist that had been dispersed by the flames had quietly returned and filled the square again, making it impossible to see even the corpses a few meters away.

"It's alright, even if I can't see clearly, I know the general location," Lu Ze thought to himself, and rushed towards the direction he remembered.

He stopped abruptly.

Beyond the mist, Leomaster's body lay on the ground, before a vast, boundless mirror. His reflection stared back at him, a look of astonishment on its face.

It cannot be illuminated.
He quickly backed away, intending to get away from the mirror. However, something strange happened: his reflection in the mirror did not do the same thing, but remained standing in the same spot, staring at himself with a gloomy and melancholy expression.

next moment.

"Fuck!"

A crisp tearing sound suddenly rang in his mind, and Lu Ze instantly felt a soul-crushing pain. Even he couldn't help but cry out in agony. In the midst of the intense pain, he seemed to sense something invisible being torn away from his body, causing a change in his emotions! Then, the [Lu Ze] in the mirror suddenly moved.

"brush."

He took a step forward.

The illusory body rapidly solidified within the mist, breaking through the mirror and appearing in the real world. This mirror figure's appearance was identical to Lu Ze's, with the same blood-red robe and the same handsome features. However, compared to Lu Ze's original form, he appeared more gloomy.

"this is me?"

Lu Ze frowned, quickly realizing what had happened. Without the protection of the tide, he, like the "Black Saint," had been split apart by the mirror!
He watched Lu Ze's every move with vigilance.

The handsome young man who appeared in the mirror stared blankly at Lu Ze. The next moment, he suddenly reached into his holster and pulled out a gleaming silver revolver.

"brush!"

Just as Lu Ze thought he was about to attack him, a look of intense pain suddenly appeared on his face. Then, he pressed the muzzle of the revolver against his temple and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

"boom!"

The gunshots rang out loudly, echoing through the fog.

What is this guy doing?!
Lu Ze was utterly stunned, watching helplessly as his head in the mirror instantly turned into a mangled mess of flesh and blood. However, the severely injured body only swayed for a moment before standing still, and the mangled head quickly recovered.

He, like me, possesses the ability of the flesh and blood domain!

"Can't die"

In the mirror, [Lu Ze] covered his head, looking at Revolver with despair. After a moment, he looked up at Lu Ze, then, as if he had made a decision, ran into the depths of the mist without looking back.

"boom!"

His body burst into flames and vanished quickly.

"Flame Leap"?
It's also my ability!
"careful!"

M suddenly appeared, his expression showing unprecedented tension, "Don't let him get away!"

"I know!"

Lu Ze cursed angrily and transformed into a fireball to give chase.

"what happened!"

During the flight, Lu Ze shouted at M, "Is that a split personality of mine?"

For some unknown reason, he became extremely agitated.

“Very likely. Control yourself; your personality has split again, and you're mentally very unstable,” M replied. “You must deal with him as soon as possible!”

"boom!"

In the brief moment of their conversation, Lu Ze had already caught up with the fireball ahead, and with a loud explosion, the clone of himself fell to the ground.

Compared to the original self, this split version of himself, although possessing various abilities, appears quite weak—just like Leomaster's frail, kind personality and the Black Knight's original self.

"stop!"

Flames and smoke erupted from Lu Ze's body in the mirror, and he cried out in excruciating pain.

Why did you run away?

Lu Ze followed closely behind, revealing his figure and coldly questioning him.
