Is Something Wrong with Your Lord?

"Aaaaaah!"

The Runes of the Hidden Sage took effect; Ms. M rolled on the ground, groaning in agony, her beautiful face now etched with extreme pain.

Her body showed signs of collapse; crisscrossing cuts appeared on her fair and delicate arms. The wounds were extremely deep, with only a small amount of Flesh still connecting them, struggling to maintain the integrity of her body.

"Hehe..."

Seeing all this, Luther felt no pity, but rather a surge of pleasure. This pleasure even overwhelmed the pain in his abdominal wound, causing him to laugh out loud.

Serves you right! Who told you to mess with me?

There was no time for sentimentality. He forced himself to stand up, his body swaying precariously. Then he drew his Revolver from its holster and aimed it at Ms. M's head.

"Bang! Bang!"

The Demon-Hunting Bullets Shriek as it struck Ms. M's skull.

One shot, two shots!

Ms. M quickly stopped struggling and screaming. The next moment, her body began to dry out, shrink, and eventually transform into a tiny paper doll. The doll's surface was covered with a rusty red, wrinkled as if it had been weathered for many years.

Damn it, Shepherd really aren't that easy to kill!

Luther had anticipated this. He raised his pistol and searched the room, easily spotting Ms. M standing within the magic circle.

Her wounds had healed somewhat, but they were still quite noticeable. Although her expression had returned to calm, pain and madness remained in her eyes, and her mental state had deteriorated significantly.

"The Hidden Sage! The Hidden Sage... You have defied the Lord's will; this is blasphemy."

Ms. M's voice became hoarse and shrill, her golden eyes were like the hottest embers in a coal stove, and her body almost crumbled to pieces.

"Oh, and then?"

Luther met her gaze without flinching.

Seemingly still not having given up, Ms. M looked at Luther and said, "This is your last chance. Cooperate with me obediently, and don't forget your sister..."

You dare to Cecilia to blackmail me?

"Bang!"

Luther answered with his Revolver. After practicing for so long at work, his accuracy had improved significantly. With this shot, he hit Ms. M's body from several meters away, making her stagger as if she had been hit by a hammer.

"Very good."

Ms. M muttered maliciously, "Remember this, your sister died because of you!"

She raised her right hand, as if grasping something invisible, and squeezed it down hard, crushing it. Then, she tilted her head, revealing a cruel smile, as if waiting for the sound of Cecilia's body exploding in the distance. But a moment later, her expression turned even more grim.

"What's wrong? Didn't the result meet your expectations? That's such a pity. Is there something wrong with your master? Hahahaha!"

Looking at Ms. M's Distortion face, Luther laughed wildly, his inner joy overflowing. "What did you think I was working so hard for all this time? Wasn't it all for this moment?"

"Very good."

Ms. M took a deep breath.

She picked up the bottle filled with liquid.

A burst of crimson liquid poured onto the ground, spreading along the patterns, causing the entire magic circle to emit a strange light.

Upon seeing this scene, Luther was momentarily stunned.

Does this mean that even if you don't drink it yourself, it will still work if you just pour it onto the magic circle?

Ms. M paid no attention to his thoughts. She lowered her head and kissed the luscious red Rose Ring with reverence and tenderness.

Praise the Lord.

She said.

Luther noticed that after kissing the ring, Ms. M's wounds seemed to heal faster, and soon only shallow scars remained.

She's serious!

Without hesitation, Luther clenched his right fist and, almost like a hammer, struck the Clockwork Clown on his chest.

"Hahahaha!"

A piercing laugh immediately filled the entire room, granting him three minutes of high-speed movement and body control.

Almost simultaneously, he saw Ms. M raise her hand at him, making a gun gesture.

"Bang."

She said.

Luther's hair stood on end, his body moving before his mind, dodging to the left with all his might. He then heard a strong gust of wind whistling past his ears, and an invisible bullet struck the ground where he had been standing, leaving a bullet hole in the floor.

"Bang."

He had barely landed and hadn't even gotten his footing when Ms. M fired another Air Bullet, forcing him to continue dodging.

No, this won't do; we're putting ourselves in a very passive position!

Taking a breath, Luther seized an opportunity to catch his breath and shouted at Ms. M in Ancient Hermes, "Die!"

A gift was bestowed upon those who became "Listener," even if Language of Foulness!

"Ah!"

Ms. M stopped, her face contorted in pain, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and her hands involuntarily tightened around her neck.

The effect is better than before... Well, her mind was just tormented by the Hidden Sage, so hearing Language of Foulness must feel especially good.

Luther understood immediately.

Having seen the weakness, he naturally wouldn't hold back, but seized the opportunity and shouted out again:

"The Lord's gaze will always be on earth, bringing the gift of Degeneration to His believers. Blessed are those who believe in Him...:"

This time, he didn't just utter the words briefly, but instead recited the prayer from the Holy Bible Ancient Hermes Script language, using the power of "Language of Foulness" to chant it to Ms. M!

Blasphemous and Frenzy sounds instantly filled the entire room!

"Aaaaaah!"

On Ms. M's body surface, many black veins appeared, which continued to expand as if they were about to burst out at any moment. She screamed, her body flattened, and finally turned into a paper doll again.

It's Substitute again!

But her Substitute are definitely not endless, just like that Demoness!

Luther thought to himself, also encouraging himself.

Just then, he suddenly foresaw this scene: Ms. M Blink from the flames and appeared before him.

Danger!

He immediately retreated, and as he raised his gun, a ball of flame indeed erupted before his eyes. If he had been still standing there, he would probably have been engulfed by the flames instantly.

"Bang!"

Luther fired another shot, hitting Ms. M in the flames. He had already used four Demon-Hunting Bullets with his Revolver, leaving only two in the magazine. As things stood, he didn't have a chance to reload for the time being.

How much longer until Cecilia arrives?

Luther swiftly took a few steps back, creating distance between himself and Ms. M, while thinking to himself.

Given that both of them have suffered losses, Cecilia is a powerful addition. Moreover, she possesses a Beyonder Item from the Demoness Pathway, which, if used properly, might have a good effect on Ms. M.

"Cough cough!"

Just then, Luther suddenly covered his mouth without warning and coughed, while his forehead quickly became hot.

He's sick!

Ms. M stood there, looking at him, a cold smile playing on her lips.

Beneath her feet, the liquid had filled the magic circle, and the entire magic circle began to emit a shimmering light.
