Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 459 The Fallen Dragon
The fragment of the mask in Lu Ze's hand came from the residual aura of the [Gluttony] clone within him. When he saw the other party use the mask to travel into a strange world, he immediately understood how to use it and followed suit.

Is this a miniature world belonging to the "Psychological Alchemy Society"?
Lu Ze glanced around at the surroundings, then focused his attention back on [Gluttony].

"brush!"

The greatsword reflected a deep darkness in the snake's eyes. He stood frozen in place as if he had been terrified, and was cleaved in two by Lu Ze.

wrong.

The sword didn't strike anything, so Lu Ze withdrew it, only to find an empty shell remaining before him. [Gluttony] truly was like a snake, leaving Lu Ze with a molted, mangled body.

"Ow—"

"Cuckoo!"

In the bizarre city, pedestrians were startled. Beneath their impeccably dressed exteriors, the instincts of wild beasts began to surface; birds flapped their wings in terror, wolves howled, and fled the scene on all fours.

Golden light flashed in Lu Ze's eyes again as his gaze swept past the chaotic animals and caught sight of a hidden figure.

[Binge] Running at full speed through the city.

Countless towering Gothic buildings, bathed in moonlight, cast shadows. He used this darkness to conceal himself and ran towards the very center of the city. There stood a magnificent and awe-inspiring church, over eighty meters high, supported by massive black pillars, each thick pillar inlaid with numerous skulls.

These skulls varied in size, including those of humans and other creatures. Their dark eye sockets all pointed downwards, seemingly scrutinizing all living beings entering the church.

This is clearly a church built from piles of bones!
"help me!"

[Gluttony] seemed to see hope and shouted at the church.

At the same time, Lu Ze, sword in one hand and a fragment of the mask in the other, caught up from behind. When he saw the church, when he met the eye sockets of the skulls, he suddenly felt a thunderous roar in his head.

Many illusions arose before me.

The flames of hell burn eternally, the extreme winds scorch the marrow, causing eyeballs to burst like grapes. Countless dead souls cry out, praying, begging for forgiveness from the Lord of Light.
In the instant Lu Ze was lost in thought, [Gluttony] had already climbed the steps, his face filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a disaster.

"help me!"

He shouted again.

The Church of Bones responded, and a strange light emanated from the doors and windows, shining upon Gluttony. His eerie mask, bathed in the light, began to peel away and dissipate little by little.

The pleasure of binge eating has ceased.

"No, no, no! This can't be done!"

He pressed his hands against the mask on his face, futilely trying to stop it from dissipating. But the mask still crumbled into dust, scattering through his fingers. Regaining his senses, Luze found that the fragments in his hands had also turned into wisps of light, flying into the depths of the church.

As the mask was removed, the city began to appear illusory and dim, as if a dream was about to end.

How could you abandon me like this!

[Gluttony] cried out in despair, "Ah—"

Suddenly, his mouth was sealed shut, and then his body swelled and twisted uncontrollably, sprouting grayish-white scales, and his face quickly transformed into the appearance of a dragon.

He completely lost control!

亚？
Lu Ze's heart skipped a beat.

But he had no time to imagine any further about the unfinished name; the out-of-control dragon had already noticed him, opened its massive jaws, and roared. "Roar—"

The strange world also vanished at the same time, leaving behind abundant sunshine, lush vegetation, and deep blue seawater.

This still seems to be Toscate Island.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Soldiers in red uniforms stood in a row, firing steam bullets forward. Their bodies swayed with each pull of the trigger, and scorching white smoke billowed violently from the exhaust pipes, instantly filling the street with vast plumes of white steam, like a giant beast slowly stretching its body.

As a result, the bullets they fired carried extremely high kinetic energy and blasted towards Anderson, where the target was located.

However, this renowned hunter possessed a terrifying intuition; the instant they pulled the trigger, he ducked and jumped to the side, successfully dodging the hail of bullets.

"brush!"

Before Anderson could even land, several sharp wind blades tore through the air and flew towards him. He could only twist his body in mid-air to adjust his posture and dodge. This caused his escape to be interrupted, and the soldiers and the extraordinary members of the Church of Storms closed in again.

"As expected of His Excellency the Bishop, with your command, even renowned adventurers cannot escape!"

Carter, the chief affairs officer of Toscart Island, said excitedly, looking at Anderson in the center of the battle was like looking at a treasure.

You're oversimplifying things.

The bishop shook his head gravely. "That guy didn't intend to kill; he just wanted to escape. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten away so easily. Even so, if he really went all out, we wouldn't have been able to stop him."

Anderson still harbored some reservations when facing the authorities.

"It's alright, it's enough to hold him off."

Carter chuckled and said, "In a little while, that gentleman will take care of the Blood Monk. Once he's isolated and helpless, he'll have no choice but to surrender!"

At that time, he would become a major hero in the capture of the Blood Cultivator, gaining a wealth of political resources. He never imagined that he, an official in the most remote region of the kingdom, would actually have a chance to turn his life around!
"You really have a lot of faith in that person."

The bishop glanced at Carter and said.

His primary responsibility was to report to the Church of Storms, but he inevitably had to deal with local powers. Behind this official was a mysterious and unpredictable demigod-level expert, whom he had to give some face, hence the joint siege today.

"Of course! You have no idea how powerful that person is!"

Carter said smugly, glancing around before adding in a boastful whisper, "I saw it with my own eyes; that guy can turn into a dragon—"

"Roar--"

A deafening roar echoed over Toscart Island.

The voice was filled with oppressive power, shaking the spirits of all living beings on the island and making them instinctively feel the ultimate danger and fear!
"puff"

Carter remained in his mysterious posture, but froze at the sound of those voices. He felt a sudden warmth and heaviness between his legs.

In his wide-eyed gaze, he saw a gigantic dragon, like one from mythology, crashing to the ground.

Atop the dragon's head stood a black knight.
