Purgatory Artist-Chapter 271: Rescued
Chapter 271 - Rescued
"Libertas, you have no idea how terrifying these evil creatures are ..."
Saying so, Yana took out a book that gave off a golden glow, picked out a Card from it and threw it out.
Bam!
The Card turned into a ball of light and landed on Liu Ping's body.
A few lines of text appeared:
[You've received the ultimate blessing of the Holy Knights]
[Those who are enveloped by this blessing will not be invaded or polluted by evil creatures]
[This is the most powerful ability of the Holy Knights, it doesn't have much power, but it can help you maintain the purity of your soul]
Liu Ping looked at the other side.
The Dead Soul Doll was hovering in the air, viciously cursing: "Damn it, it's the Holy Knights!"
"We Holy Knights have never killed anyone, we have always maintained our purity, just to fight against you" Yana said.
"Fight against us?"
The Dead Soul Doll showed an inexplicable smile and spoke:
"Prepare to face the nightmare, Holy Knights"
Its figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.
In the small alley, the street lights lit up one after another.
A parchment appeared in front of everyone, a few lines of text quickly appeared on it:
[Combatants: Card user (1 person)]
[Nightmare activated]
[You have 12 hours to purify the inner world]
[The Devil King will awaken after that]
[Countdown begins:]
[12:00:00.]
Reading through it, Liu Ping mused: "Yana, Hua Qingkong, do you know what this means?"
"Never heard of it" Yana replied.
"This is the secret of the Age of Nightmares, it has been carefully preserved, to the point that people of the future like us have no idea what happened during that era" Hua Qingkong said.
Suddenly.
The void of space around them moved.
The Enforcers appeared again.
They stood next to Liu Ping, unharmed, as if they didn't see the parchment in front of them.
"The evil creatures seem to have escaped" one of them said.
"Then let's go in and see if we can find any clues in the world below" another said.
"But we're too weak, once we enter the world below, we'll be quickly corroded" a third person said.
They all looked at Liu Ping.
"Alright, I'll go" Liu Ping shrugged.
The three of them nodded.
The leader took out a badge that gave off a faint white glow and pinned it on Liu Ping's chest: "If you can save our people, this badge will prove that you're one of us"
Liu Ping looked down at the badge.
It was an extremely crude piece of metal with a line of small words beside it:
[Race Proof: Human.]
A trace of nervousness appeared in Liu Ping's heart.
In the Inner world, even one's identity could not be easily ascertained?
That person patted Liu Ping's shoulder and encouraged him.
"Go. If you really can't do it, just commit suicide. That way, at least you won't be tainted by evil and will be able to obtain peace."
Suicide?
I thank you.
Liu Ping waved at them and turned to walk deeper into the alley.
Halfway there, he looked back.
Those people had disappeared, and there were still a few skeletons lying on the ground.
"Strange, they look like dead souls."
Hua Qingkong said.
Liu Ping didn't say anything and sped up.
At the end of the alley was a flight of stairs leading down.
They walked down the stairs and arrived at a spacious square.
Huge sculptures stood in the square. One side was carved with devils, while the other side was carved with humans.
The demon and the human fused into one, forming a statue.
The surroundings were vast and empty. Everything was shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see what was outside the square.
Suddenly.
The rolling fog around the square seemed to have sensed something and started to tremble violently.
Liu Ping opened the Insight Map again.
A glowing translucent map appeared in front of his eyes.
Outside the square, the densely packed dots were rapidly moving in the direction of the square.
Above those dots, a line of small labels appeared:
[Evil Filth Demon]
[These are polluted souls. They retain the attack power they had when they were alive, or even stronger!]
[In three minutes, they will arrive at the square!]
Liu Ping finished reading and immediately said, "Everyone, prepare for battle."
Just as he was about to put away the map, he suddenly saw a strange light spot in the middle of the square.
"Eh? There's something here. "
He quickly walked in front of the statue, placed his hand on the wall below the statue, and pressed hard on a brick.
Crack!
There was a soft sound.
The wall flipped over, revealing the remains of an angel.
The remains were nailed to the wall by a black dagger. Both hands were holding the dagger tightly, as if trying to pull the dagger out of its chest before it died.
"It's hidden so well. I can't tell that there's something here at all." Libertas sighed.
"It's all thanks to the Occult Devil King's map." Liu Ping said.
He glanced at the dagger and saw that the handle of the dagger was completely made of wriggling black muscles, while the blade was a small piece of bone.
A few lines of burning words appeared:
[Evil Bone]
[Dagger]
[Filled with the power of evil and corruption, it can pollute all souls]
Libertas' voice suddenly sounded.
"Wow, this dagger looks very strong. Can you give it to me?"
"No!"
Yana quietly appeared.
"Remember, you are not allowed to touch the things here without my permission."
She said sternly.
"Why?" Libertas asked.
"Because they are corrupted beyond understanding. Once a human touches them, their soul will mutate." Hua Qingkong said.
Yana took two steps forward, her body emitting a holy light.
She held the dagger, pulled it out, and threw it on the ground.
The dagger wriggled.
It turned into a worm full of bone blades and drilled into the ground, disappearing.
"Why can Yana touch that dagger?" Libertas was unwilling to give up.
"Her soul is pure and without any impurities, so she won't be affected. If it were you, once you hold that dagger, you'll turn into a corrupted monster." Hua Qingkong sneered.
Libertas fell silent.
On the wall, the angel's skeleton suddenly moved.
"Who is it? Who saved me just now? "
The angel said with a hoarse voice, trying to look around.
Only then did Liu Ping realize that the angel's eyes were empty. Obviously, they had been gouged out.
"I'm a Card Master." Liu Ping said.
The badge on his chest suddenly emitted a brighter light.
The angel immediately sensed it and exclaimed:
"It's a human! I didn't expect that after being sealed in the wall for so many years, I thought that no one would ever save me, but you were able to find me. "
Liu Ping glanced at the map.
What a good thing!
If it wasn't for the Occult Devil King's tricks, he really wanted to thank it.
But now ...
It seemed that he had to thank it in another way.
"It's not worth mentioning. We're going to move forward. What's your plan?" Liu Ping asked.
"Move forward? Yes ... You have to take down as many places as possible before the Devil King finds you and awaken more comrades. Otherwise, you'll be trapped here like us. "The angel skeleton said.
Liu Ping was silent and asked:
"You're all trapped here after losing the war?"
The angel skeleton sighed: "It can't be helped. The war has lasted for a long time, but the Devil King is too strong ..."
As Liu Ping was thinking, he suddenly sensed something.
He looked at the fog around the square and saw monsters coming out of the fog one after another.
These monsters all had humanoid figures, but their eyes were red and they looked crazy.
They were not in a hurry to pounce, but stood in rows far away.
Evil incantations came out of their mouths.
"Don't let them continue!"
Yana said anxiously.
Libertas was the first to jump out of the card book. He grabbed a grenade and threw it at the edge of the square.
Boom!
Smoke billowed, and many monsters were blown away.
"Liu Ping, lend me your blade."
Zhao Chanyi whispered.
Liu Ping put the Shadow Blade in the air. Suddenly, a small hand reached out and caught the blade.
Zhao Chanyi flew with the blade and disappeared instantly.
The next moment.
Dazzling blade auras burst out, cutting the rows of monsters into pieces.
Hua Qingkong also came out of the card book. She held a long thread and looked into the fog.
"It's too late. They've already summoned an extremely powerful guy."
Hua Qingkong said.
Norton revealed himself and slapped his card book. "Space Extension!" he growled.
He tossed out a card.
Boom!
The card disappeared.
"I also felt the powerful aura of that guy. But if it wants to get here, it has to go through a void about ten thousand kilometers long. It'll buy us some time." Norton said.
"Then let's destroy these things that can summon other powerful monsters first."
Liu Ping said and took out the Flame Card Book.
He handed the Card to Libertas and patted him on the shoulder.
"Use it well."
"And this." Liu Ping handed over a lighter.
Libertas took the lighter and looked at it. It was a copper windproof lighter with a skeleton, a woman, and a dagger carved on the surface.
He touched the lighter lovingly and held up the card book. He was overjoyed: "You're indeed a good brother! Liu Ping, I'll let you know how powerful I am. "
Liu Ping smiled.
In fact, Libertas was an Assassin with great potential. It was just that he was too young, only fourteen years old. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
If he could be nurtured well, he would definitely be a powerful character in the future.
Rumble rumble rumble
Deep in the fog, there was a series of loud tremors.
"It's coming!"
Norton shouted.
Around the square, the humanoid monsters had all been killed by Zhao Chanyi.
"Just in time. Let's see how powerful that guy is!"
Zhao Chanyi shook off the blood on her blade and said coldly.
Everyone held their breath and waited.
Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded:
"Even if we can't win, we still have to fight. Otherwise, we would have been saved for nothing."
Everyone looked back.
The angel skeleton slowly lowered its head.
The next moment.
Strands of muscles grew out of thin air around the skeleton, and the angel suddenly became flesh and blood, coming back to life.
A pair of pure white wings spread out on both sides.
The void opened, and the broken armor of light scattered, turning into components that draped over the angel's body.
This was a slender male angel.
The angel waved his hand.
A crystal sword appeared from thin air and was held in his hand.
"I've recovered a bit of my power ..."
The angel said to the people looking at him.
