Stealing "Grazing"

"Ugh!"

Sensing the abnormality within his body, Luther's expression changed slightly.

That fair left hand contained an invisible force, tightly gripping something within him.

Looking ahead, Luther saw the owner of the hand.

She looked at Luther with a smile on her face; she looked a lot like Kate, but not exactly like her.

For example, she no longer had a burly body, and her face was less scarred, making her look much prettier. For example, she placed the Greatsword on the ground, her hands empty. For example, the Spirituality surging within her surged, and her size far exceeded that of before.

That wasn't the Spirituality scale one would expect from a Sequence 5; the entire tomb passage seemed to tremble at her presence. Luther felt the Shepherd's Potion within him screaming, warning Luther that this Lamb was not someone he could handle!

"She's not Sequence 5! She's Sequence 4 Demigod!"

Sharron's cries seemed to come from a very distant place, ethereal and hazy.

Sequence 4!

Demigod!

Luther could see nothing else; all he could see was the other person's smiling face and her words.

"You seem a bit different; it took me so many attempts to finally succeed."

Success? What did you succeed at?

Luther instinctively sensed intense malice in the other person's words, and something inside her was being peeled away little by little as her left hand moved.

No!

We can't let her succeed!

Luther's eyes narrowed, and he began to try to resist the force, using his Spirituality to grab that part and pull it back.

Then, he suddenly paused for a moment.

What was I about to do?

In that instant, Luther forgot something again.

This brief moment of confusion was extremely dangerous. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the invisible force suddenly grew stronger and then forcibly extracted something from Luther's body!

"Boom!"

Luther's body jolted violently, feeling an unprecedented emptiness.

He soon understood the source of this emptiness.

His Grazing skills have vanished!

The Lamb within him became uncontrollable, and his own power to restrain them vanished. These souls began to howl in agony, acting recklessly, Frenzy within him, assaulting his body and soul!

"Bang!"

That was the sound of an explosion coming from inside his body; his soul instinctively craved his body and was fighting against it!

Luther trembled, his body transformed into a battlefield. Among them, Mr. A's resentful soul was particularly powerful and frenzied, constantly tearing at his Flesh, causing his body to disintegrate!

Opposite him, the Demigod closed her eyes slightly, seemingly sensing the effects of the "Grazing" ability. Then, she opened her eyes and looked at Luther with great interest, observing the process of his physical collapse.

Her eyes were fixed on Luther without blinking, until a woman's figure suddenly appeared in her vision—a woman in a black court dress, with an indifferent expression and slightly pursed lips, as if suppressing intense emotions within.

Sharron, "Evil Spirit Possession!"

"Oh"

The Demigod let out a contemptuous sneer. Under Sharron's desperate control, her body became stiff, yet she could still move slowly. She reached out her hand, then gently patted Sharron's head, forcibly banishing her to the ground.

Her body became solid, no longer in its previous illusory state, but her delicate face became increasingly pale, even less so than when she was still in her Spirit Body form.

Who exactly are you?

Sharron stared at the Demigod and asked.

"Just a descendant of some impoverished family."

The other person spoke calmly, but their expression betrayed obvious pride.

"You are clearly a Demigod, so why are you hiding your identity and disguising yourself as a Sequence 5?"

This was Sharron's biggest question. The other person had already reached Sequence 4 and could have explored the tomb on their own, yet they insisted on disguising themselves as a female Warrior, and then, after achieving their goal, they wanted to eliminate their teammates. It was truly incomprehensible!

"I'm sorry, but this is Amon's grave after all."

The female Demigod said calmly, "In such a dangerous place, of course I hope as many people as possible come. However, while I hope you will share the risks with me, I am unwilling to share the spoils, so I have no choice but to ask you to die."

"."

Sharron fell silent, staring coldly at the Demigod.

Stop looking at me, come see your friends instead.

The female Demigod completely ignored her gaze, simply pointing at Luther, "You know what? Even among all extraordinary beings, the Shepherd's abilities are among the most powerful. Yet, they are precisely countered by our 'Marauder' Pathway."

"See that? When their 'Grazing' abilities are stolen, they go out of control due to the backlash from their own souls. Watch closely, such a scene is quite rare."

The Demigod said this.

Sure enough, just as she said, Luther's body gradually collapsed, eventually turning into a pool of writhing flesh Flesh.

Luther descended into madness and chaos.

The souls within him were out of control; the Consciousness of the Lamb surged up, filling his mind and transmitting their pain, despair, anger, and other extreme emotions to Luther.

"I need a body! I need a body!"

"Stop, let me disappear, I don't want to suffer like this anymore."

"Damn you, Luther, for the sake of the Lord, you shall die!"

Their cries echoed endlessly in Luther's mind.

Luther watched as these wandering souls flew towards his heart. There, his sister's soul was tightly protected by Flesh.

"Bang!"

His soul crashed into his Flesh, the impact causing him intense pain, and his Flesh subsequently disintegrated!

This can't go on!

"M!"

Luther immediately shouted.

This idiot always shows up from time to time, spouting nonsense, but he doesn't show up at this crucial moment!

He intends to use the power of the "Spectator" Pathway to suppress these souls.

At the very least, Cecilia must be protected.

"They've arrived."

As Luther called out, the red-haired, golden-eyed M materialized. However, she didn't seem to be in good condition; she appeared very ethereal, flickering like a faulty light bulb.

"Sorry, that Demigod tricked me."

She said this, her voice rising and falling, barely reaching Luther's ears, "The help I can offer you right now is limited."

"Hurry up! Stop talking nonsense!"

Luther abruptly interrupted her, letting her do as she pleased. M then placed her hands on his chest, reaching for the wandering souls while releasing waves of Soothing. The previously Tranquility Lamb gradually calmed down, and M used "Soothing" on Mr. A particularly several times, making the man languid and devoid of any will to resist.

"This can only last for three minutes; we must regain the 'Grazing' ability before then."

As soon as M finished speaking to Luther, his body vanished with a "pop".
