Blood River
"Imprisonment!"
Harras pointed his right hand, clad in a black iron-colored metal glove, at Luther, and declared with unparalleled majesty. Luther was then Sealing within an isolated space, as if the surrounding air had instantly solidified.
The other extraordinary individuals seized the opportunity to rush forward and attack him.
"Smack!"
The scarred woman lashed out with her long black whip, striking Luther precisely. The whip cracked, but left only shallow marks on Luther's skin. A cruel smile played on her lips. For this whip was not aimed at the body, but at the mind, inflicting excruciating pain upon its victim!
She looked at Luther expectantly, as if waiting for him to let out a pitiful cry. But she only met Luther's Indifference and crazed gaze. That gaze seemed to ask, "Is that all?"
The moment the whip touched his body, Luther felt intense pain. However, this pain paled in comparison to the Word-Eating of the True Creator.
"Katie, get out of the way!"
The bearded man standing nearby shouted, picked up his High-Pressure Steam Rifle, and charged forward.
This rifle has a complex structure, a thick barrel, and pipes connecting the rear of the gun to a large mechanical case. Such a High-Pressure Steam Rifle is a powerful weapon under military control, with astonishing power.
"Boom!"
The bearded man stood at attention, aimed at the Imprisonment Luther, and pulled the trigger. The Steam rifle made a deafening roar, the vibrations even causing the glass in the hall to tremble. A large amount of white Steam shot out from the exhaust port on the back of the gun the instant the trigger was pulled, the airflow traveling at extremely high speed, rubbing against the exhaust port and producing a sharp popping sound.
Looking at Luther in the center of the arena, he remained standing there, Imprisonment, with a huge hole in his chest.
However, the figure quickly flattened, shrank, and eventually turned into a paper doll that drifted away.
Paper Figurine Substitute!
"Call!"
Just as everyone lost sight of their target, crimson flames surged like flowing water, appearing behind the aged-looking extraordinary individual. In the firelight, Luther's handsome yet crazed face suddenly emerged, and he swiftly reached out his right hand, grabbing the other's throat.
The Shepherd's Characteristic told him that this guy was the weakest of the group!
"Puff!"
At the same moment, blood gushed from every hole in the old man's face; Blood Tears streamed down his face, and his mouth gaped open. Luther had ruthlessly used Flesh and Blood Magic, forcibly squeezing blood from every part of his body. A stronger extraordinary being might be able to resist such magic, but for him, this was fatal enough.
"Parker! Damn it!"
Seeing Luther use multiple abilities simultaneously, Harras cried out in horror and anger, "This guy is Shepherd!"
Aside from Capim, who knew absolutely nothing about the Extraordinary World, the other three all showed great panic and fear upon hearing this title.
The Shepherd of Sequence 5!
Almost simultaneously, Harras took a black iron glove from his robes and quickly put it on. His body then became even more imposing and terrifying, like a majestic knight Judgement and punishing all who disobeyed.
Grazing is prohibited in this area!
He pointed his glove forward and shouted desperately.
The black iron-colored metal gloves emitted a strange light, and invisible laws immediately formed in the space. Although invisible to the naked eye, they seemed like rules that had to be followed, directly affecting people's bodies, minds, and souls. It was as if anyone who violated them would suffer severe punishment.
"Hmm"
Luther's body swayed, and the originally active Lamb Soul within him suddenly became sluggish. Although it wasn't impossible to control, he felt that forcing it would have negative consequences.
His internal "Grazing" ability was restricted!
"Take him down! We don't have much time!"
Seeing that the gloves were effective, a glimmer of joy flashed in Harras's eyes. Although the Shepherd, now unable to Grazing, was still difficult to deal with, at least he saw a glimmer of hope for victory!
Luther raised his eyes and gave Harras a deep look. This guy was very skilled at using gloves; the Gold Mask that night probably wasn't his, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten the manuscript so easily.
Feeling the stagnation in his soul, Luther gripped the neck of the man called Parker tightly, muttering under his breath. Parker's body began to turn red and swell.
"Brush!"
Luther pulled his body back, then threw Parker's body towards the three of them.
"Sealing!"
Harras's eyes narrowed, and he shouted loudly.
"Boom!"
--
An explosion followed immediately, Flesh bursting open and turning into countless Corrosion liquids that scorched the invisible wall created by Harras. Harras and the others, who had escaped unscathed, were just about to breathe a sigh of relief when what happened next made their eyes widen in horror.
Suddenly, the roses that had covered the ground began to move, and the crimson liquid began to converge and flow, until it formed a magnificent red river!
Blood River!
"How is that possible!"
Harras screamed in terror.
Such a large amount of Flesh could be manipulated simultaneously; if it were an ordinary Shepherd, Ritual would be necessary to achieve such a terrifying effect!
The river flowed around Luther, and from time to time, a few pained faces surfaced in its waters, rising and falling. These faces were those of the guests and servants from earlier.
"Whoosh!"
Blood River surged skyward, churning with gigantic waves. If an explosion created by a single human body is so dangerous, how terrifying could the damage caused by a field of roses be?
Flesh and Blood Magic is forbidden here!
Harras was terrified. He raised his arm again and made a loud announcement.
The black iron gloves took effect, and invisible rules were constructed. But at the same time, his face grew paler, as if he were bearing a great burden. His eyes kept scanning the door and windows, as if trying to determine where the best way out was.
"Ugh!"
Luther's body swayed, and the speed of the Blood River's flow instantly slowed down.
"Issuing two 'Prohibition' in a row, that's impressive... Unfortunately, I have many more tricks up my sleeve." Luther laughed maniacally, looking at the three people opposite him with undisguised malice.
"Die!"
He proclaimed in Ancient Hermes.
"Ah!"
Filth and frenzied shock exploded in their minds in an instant. The three men clutched their heads and cried out in pain. It was as if their brains had been struck by a hammer, and blood quickly flowed from their nostrils.
Of the two, Harras could barely endure it, but Katie and the bearded man appeared to be in great pain and could no longer stand.
Opposite them, Luther slowly approached, chanting a prayer in a low voice.
Harras barely recovered from his Frenzy. He hesitated for a moment, then took out a vial of potion from his robes and drank it down.
"Brush!"
After drinking the potion, his Spirituality surged again, and his face changed from pale to a sickly flush.
"Imprisonment!"
He pointed at Luther and shouted, Luther was about to continue uttering Filth language when his body was once again restrained.
"Unauthorized entry into another person's residence is a crime!"
"Unauthorized entry into another person's residence is a crime!"
"Unauthorized entry into another person's residence is a crime!"
Harras seized the opportunity and, with three stern shouts, declared Luther guilty, "The guilty shall be punished!"
Luther's body grew increasingly stiff, as if he had violated a noble decree and become Sinner deserving of Judgement.
"Brush!"
A powerful set of rules was superimposed on Harras, making his figure grow incredibly tall.
"Scourging!"
"Harras shouted."
"Slap! Slap!"
"Bang! Bang!"
An invisible whip appeared from the void, lashing out at Luther. He couldn't dodge and was struck with deep, bone-revealing wounds. Katie and the bearded man seized the opportunity to attack, one with a Revolver loaded with extraordinary bullets and the other with a high-powered Steam rifle, both firing at Luther simultaneously!
Luther's body was soon covered in wounds. He was beaten until he was on the verge of death.
Katie and the bearded man both showed delight, but Harras sensed something amiss. Could a Shepherd be killed so easily?
"Splash!"
Under constant Whip and gunshots, Luther's body collapsed, shattering into countless Flesh. However, these Flesh actually began to move rapidly and merged with the Blood River on the ground.
They became one!
