Chapter 64 The Rose Bishop?
"careful!"
Seeing the arm being thrown at him like a flesh bomb, Lu Ze couldn't help but shout.
Then he saw Edward grip the "Chaos Cane" once more and slam it down on the ground.
"Thump!"
The cane made a dull, loud sound, and a large area centered on Ms. M seemed to become blurred. Then, the arm that had been thrown out made an inexplicable arc in mid-air and fell back in front of Ms. M. Then, the flesh bulged up and exploded with a loud bang!
"Chaos" altered the spatial order and rules of the area where Ms. M lived.
"boom--"
The violent explosion engulfed Ms. M, sending bricks and flesh flying in an instant. A surge of air rose up, but under the influence of some strange rule, it only echoed in a small area until it ended.
As the aftershocks of the explosion subsided, Lu Ze was surprised to find that Ms. M, who was in the center, had disappeared.
Where did she go?
Is she going to run away, attack, or go behind the door to trigger the ritual?
As Lu Ze pondered his options, Ms. Dai Li beside him began to act. She stretched out her hands, crossed them, and placed them flat against her chest, bowing her head and softly calling out to communicate with the spirit existing in another world.
The surrounding air grew cold, an invisible force surged, and a muffled groan came from mid-air. Ms. M's figure emerged from the shadows—as if forcibly squeezed out, and fell to the ground.
"Waaah—"
Dai Li looked at her coldly and continued to chant in a low voice. Then, a pair of semi-transparent hands appeared on Ms. M's neck. They grabbed Ms. M's throat, making her beautiful face show a distressed expression, and she could not move.
"Thump thump!"
At this crucial moment, Edward strode forward, raising his black, semi-transparent cane high. The muscles in his arms and back began to bulge, gathering strength, and then he lashed out with all his might at Ms. M's head!
boom!
Like a cannonball hitting her at close range, Ms. M's head was completely shattered, and her body fell limply to the ground, seemingly killed instantly!
Such a powerful sealing artifact
Lu Ze couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of a level 1 sealed artifact, it actually kept its opponent pinned down the entire time, controlling them until death. He thought he still had a chance to make a move, but it was over before he even had a chance."
Edward looked down at Ms. M's headless corpse, took a step back, and gestured for Leon to bring over the massive revolver. He wanted Leon to continue stabbing the body to prevent any possibility of it coming back to life; this professionalism was truly commendable.
Leon nodded, picked up his revolver, and strode over, aiming it at Ms. M's corpse.
"Cough cough!"
Just then, he suddenly coughed loudly a few times, and his hand holding the gun could no longer hold it steady.
Does Leon have a cold?
The thought had barely crossed Lu Ze's mind when he saw Ms. Dai Li beside him also show signs of pain, her cheeks flushed, as if she had a high fever.
What happened?
"Cough cough!"
Just as Lu Ze was about to speak, he couldn't help but cough, his vision became blurry, and his forehead felt hot.
He's sick too!
Edward's eyes narrowed, and he was about to raise his cane to strike Ms. M's corpse again. But he suddenly noticed that Ms. M's headless body was flattening and shrinking, eventually turning into a tattered paper figure.
Ms. M herself has disappeared without a trace!
She's not dead, where did she go?
In the midst of the chaos, a warm and gentle fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and Lu Ze suddenly felt a delicate, soft hand stroking his chin. Turning his head, he was met with Ms. M's gentle yet icy smile.
She seemed to be examining herself.
"Bang! Bang!"
Lu Ze felt a chill run down his spine. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and fired. The bullet whistled out, but hit nothing in the air. Ms. M had already vanished into the shadows once more, and then reappeared in front of the human skin chair.
She slowly sat down.
"A very interesting sealed artifact, excellent cooperative battle, and the Night Watchers of Enmat Port are quite good."
Ms. M actually smiled and praised them, watching the group of people in front of her gradually fall into serious illness.
Her appearance was exactly as they had first seen her: stunningly beautiful, eerie, and gentle, as if she hadn't been harmed at all in the battle just now.
What was the point of her feeble resistance just now? Was it just an act, a way of toying with them?
Edward pulled Leon back to Daly and Luzer, raised his cane, and struck the ground again.
"Thump!"
With the sound of the cane, the rules of space around them were forcibly distorted. The group, who had been struggling to breathe, immediately felt much better, but a sense of unease began to creep into their hearts, because Edward had already used the cane three times!
"Disease? Magic! You're not the Rose Bishop at all, you're the Shepherd!"
Edward practically yelled it out.
"I never said that I was the Rose Bishop."
Ms. M smiled, her expression showing great pleasure.
Hearing her say that, Edward's facial muscles tensed, and he gripped "1-114" even tighter.
The messenger from Enmat Port defied common sense; he was not a Sequence 6 Rose Bishop, but a Shepherd of a higher sequence!
Sequence 5, The Shepherd?
Lu Ze was momentarily bewildered upon hearing this title.
The high-ranking church deacon Crestais we met before was a Sequence 5 powerhouse. The highest-ranking member of their group today was only a Sequence 6 "Requiemrator"!
He recalled what Dunn had once told him: the Mystic Path, the high-sequence beings, were known for their endless stream of abilities and bizarre flesh-and-blood powers. They seemed to be able to use the abilities of other sequences, which made them seem strange and unpredictable.
In other words, the people they are dealing with this time are actually shepherds.
Lu Ze felt a pang of heaviness in his heart.
Edward's expression was also grim. He remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking to the others, "I didn't expect the opponent to have reached Sequence 5. Our chances of winning are very low."
"Captain Edward, what do we do?"
"Dali asked in a low voice."
"We can only try to stall for time and wait for rescue," Edward said in a deep voice. "Hopefully, we won't all die before the rescue arrives."
die?
Looking at Edward's face and the calm Ms. M opposite him, Lu Ze suddenly felt an extremely unreal feeling. Was this the end for him?
No, I have a younger sister to support. What will happen to her if I die?
Lu Ze took a deep breath.
We have no choice but to give it our all!
Not only him, but the eyes of the other people in the team also changed.
Ms. M's smile grew even brighter as she looked at them.
"Very good. I love the twisted expressions on your faces when you're in despair. It was worth it for me to pretend to be weak at the beginning and cater to your performance."
An unhealthy flush appeared on her delicate face, ruining its original beauty and making her look somewhat sickly.
"However, I've had enough of playing with you guys."
She said with a smile, "That's enough for the entertainment. I have important things to do. Sorry."
"Stop joking!"
Edward roared.
brush!
He gripped his cane, bowed his head to Ms. M, and night fell. A tranquil atmosphere spread, bringing a sense of peace and serenity that left no room for other thoughts.
The signature skill of the "Soul Soother": Soul Soothing!
This is an ability that directly affects the target's soul, making the target calm and unable to resist.
Lu Ze saw that Ms. M seemed to be controlled by this force, no longer speaking, but calmly looking at them.
Seize the opportunity!
He immediately reached for the bone flute in his pocket, and Ms. Daly began to summon the spirit, while Leon raised his gun and aimed.
Just then, Ms. M suddenly smiled slightly, her golden eyes lit up, and she grew vertical pupils like a lizard's eyes.
Leon's eyes turned pale gold. He blankly turned his gun, aimed it at Ms. Daly's back, and pulled the trigger.
