Purgatory Artist-Chapter 285: Back to the City

"How do we address each other?" Liu Ping asked.

"Just use the mask, for example, you can call me Fierce Tiger" the man wearing the tiger mask answered.

"We don't mind knowing each other's true identity, but if during some operations, outsiders hear our real names, it will cause some unnecessary trouble" the woman wearing the Star Mask said.

Liu Ping looked at them.

Which means, they should all be relatively influential people.

"There's a very strange tomb here. We've already finished several rounds of exploration, so we need to go back and replenish our resources." the leader wearing the black mask said.

"What about you, rabbit, what are your plans?" Greyhound asked.

"... I might need to go to Mechanus, something is happening there." Liu Ping said.

"What is it?" White Wolf asked.

"The devils are sweeping through that area, Mechanus is doing its best to rescue the people in the nearby shelters." Liu Ping said.

They went silent for a bit.

Darkness said: "There's a Purgatory soul farm there, the demons are using our Sequences to cultivate their souls."

"It's the 'Fool' Sequence, I heard there's a sealed place nearby with prisoners." Fox said.

"I'm afraid something happened to the prisoners, the devils are a bit scared and had to come down to check the situation." Greyhound said.

Liu Ping was a bit surprised.

These people had pretty much guessed the situation with just a few words.

Darkness thought for a bit, then said: "Greyhound, Star, come with me to prepare for the next operation, Fox go collect information, White Wolf stay here, don't let anyone else enter the tomb, Fierce Tiger."

"I happen to be free, I'll accompany rabbit to Mechanus." Fierce Tiger said.

Liu Ping glanced at Fierce Tiger.

He had a burly figure and was wearing a white martial arts suit. His feet were bare, and his arms were crossed. He looked bored.

"I'm very good at fighting, we can practice our cooperation." Fierce Tiger said.

"Alright." Liu Ping said.

Star took out a card and said: "I remember that going to Mechanus from here should be quite safe, there shouldn't be any particularly powerful Hibernators on the way, we can use this card."

Liu Ping looked at the card.

There were a few illusory lights drawn on the card, condensing into a faintly discernible monster in the sky.

A line of burning text appeared in the void of space:

[Mimicry Flight Card]

[It's tainted with the aura of a special monster, so it won't attract the attention of normal Hibernators during flight]

[This is a relatively rare mobile card]

Liu Ping heaved a sigh of relief.

If he didn't have to travel by himself, he wouldn't encounter those strange things and wouldn't be in any danger.

Fierce Tiger took the card from the Star Daughter and walked to Liu Ping.

"Then let's go?"

"Let's go" Liu Ping said.

The cards were thrown out and instantly turned into two rays of light that shrouded Fierce Tiger and Liu Ping.

The two of them soared into the sky. They turned into two beams of light in the sky and flew in a certain direction.

The remaining people stood where they were, silently watching them disappear into the horizon.

"Since Fierce Tiger has taken the initiative to take care of him, we don't have to worry about this newcomer. Let's hurry up and complete the tasks," Darkness said.

Greyhound laughed and said: "From the beginning, Fierce Tiger has been advising the head to recruit this boy."

"Yeah, I've noticed it too," White Wolf said.

Darkness said, "You may not know this, but Fierce Tiger once fought with the people of the Divine Faction. Their fighting style of being able to attack, heal, and even hinder the enemy from the side is very much to Fierce Tiger's liking. It can maximize his fighting strength."

"So he has tasted the sweetness, that's why he's so enthusiastic" Fox smiled.

"Having a high-level Divine Profession is also a good thing for our team. After all, we're all too good at fighting, but we haven't recruited any decent healers," Star said.

Everyone nodded together.

...

Mechanus.

Two silhouettes quietly descended from the gray mist.

"The location of Mechanus is confidential, so we have to pass through this fog," Liu Ping explained.

Fierce Tiger nodded and said: "Mechanus is not a strong Sequence, but it's the safest one. There's no problem with you choosing this as your main base of operations."

The two of them passed through the fog together.

In front.

An endless metal skyscraper came into view.

Small black words appeared in mid-air:

[Welcome to Mechanus]

Liu Ping casually released a card.

Bam!

The card turned into Hua Qingkong.

She tapped the air and quickly opened one screen after another, displaying the scene inside Mechanus.

"Most of the people in the city are civilians, as well as many injured Professionists. Most of the Professionists have gone out to save people."

Hua Qingkong pulled a screen over and displayed it in front of Liu Ping and Tiger.

The screen showed a forest.

Several floating fortresses were in the air, constantly bombarding the forest below.

A large number of evil creatures jumped down from the top of the fortress into the forest, then immediately clashed with the Professionists.

A line of text appeared in front of the three of them:

[The Forest Shelter has a large number of lifestyle Professionists, it's the main source of food and materials]

The few of them understood at a glance.

"The population of Mechanus is rapidly increasing. If there's not enough food, we'll definitely be wiped out," Hua Qingkong said.

"It's the same for combat-type Professionists. Many of the materials needed for combat are provided by lifestyle professionists," Liu Ping understood.

He tapped on the Mechanus Sequence and began to choose the type of mission.

"This rescue mission."

Liu Ping glanced at Fierce Tiger and said: "I'm going to join the battle. Why don't you rest in the city first?"

"I'll go with you" Fierce Tiger said.

"You're coming too?"

"Yes."

Liu Ping confirmed the mission entry and said, "Alright, thank you for coming to help us."

As soon as he said that.

A card appeared from the void of space.

An urgent voice came from the card: "Quick, which team is coming to help? I'll teleport you over right away! "

"Nightwish." Liu Ping said.

The voice was shocked: "Nightwish! You're still alive! Alright."

The card suddenly emitted a light.

Hua Qingkong flew back turning into a card.

Liu Ping thought for a bit and put on the rabbit mask again.

The light instantly enveloped Liu Ping and Fierce Tiger, bringing them away from where they were.

A second later.

The forest.

Amidst the flames of war.

The teleport Card Masters were busy, picking up the injured from the frontline.

Suddenly.

A Card Masters shouted: "Another large team is about to join the battle!"

Everyone was shocked.

"How many people are there? We're currently lacking people to fill in the gaps! "someone asked loudly.

Without waiting for the Card User to answer, two balls of white light appeared from the void of space.

Two figures walked out from the white light.

One of them was wearing a snow-white mask, with only two traces of blood around his eyes and a pair of long ears on top of his head.

The other was wearing a mask of a Fierce Tiger.

A gust of wind blew past.

No more people showed up.

Just the two of them, standing alone in the dark.

How could such a large team only have these two freaks?

Everyone felt a bit disappointed.

The person wearing the rabbit mask looked around and sighed: "There are a lot of injured people."

He reached out and patted the card.

A woman in golden armor silently appeared.

She glanced around and nodded.

"Yes, there are a lot of injured people."

As soon as she said that.

The woman raised her hand.

A holy light blossomed from her hand, instantly covering the entire camp for the wounded, and quickly spreading towards the battlefield.

The holy light connected heaven and earth, sweeping away all the darkness.

Everyone who was injured stood up from the ground.

They had already recovered.

Even a few Professionists who were on the verge of death had regained their vitality.

In an instant.

Everyone had regained their fighting strength!

The holy light retracted and returned to the woman's hand, turning into a blinding halo that hovered above her head.

"Divine Knight!"

Someone excitedly shouted.

Everyone excitedly looked over, their eyes filled with hope and vitality again.

With such a top-level Holy Knight on the battlefield, every Professionist regained their confidence.

In the sky.

The horde of evil creatures had also noticed the situation here.

"Kill that Holy Knight!"

An earth-shattering roar resounded from the floating fortress.

The evil creatures no longer charged towards the ground and instead circled around in the sky.

They quickly gathered into an army and blotted out the sky like a tidal wave.

A terrifying aura radiated from the army of evil creatures.

Their orderly flight gave off a sharp screeching noise that sounded like a tsunami capable of destroying everything.

No one would be able to stop such an army!

A second later.

The evil creatures began to charge towards the Holy Knight's location.

"Seems like we'll have to fight."

Saying so, the Holy Knight drew a blood-colored greatsword.

The rabbit-masked man once again flipped through his card tome.

Powerful combatants appeared one after another from the card book and stood next to him.

Fierce Tiger silently watched and spoke in surprise:

"I didn't think you would have a follower card like the Holy Knight, your deck seems to be mostly made up of follower cards."

"That's right," Liu Ping replied.

Fierce Tiger smiled: "I'm different from you, I don't have any follower cards in my deck."

"Then how do you fight?" Liu Ping asked.

A card book appeared in front of Fierce Tiger.

He drew a Card from it.

Bam!

The Card turned into a pair of black and red gauntlets that he wore on his hands.

"Since I'm already here, I'm going to stretch a bit."

Saying so, Fierce Tiger formed a stance on the spot and stopped moving.

In the sky, the horde of evil creatures broke through all barriers and swarmed forward like a tidal wave.

Fierce Tiger suddenly smirked and muttered:

"It's been a long time since I last stretched."

He abruptly threw a punch towards the sky.

This punch instantly turned into countless densely-packed fist shadows, covering the entire night sky with a force that could topple mountains and overturn seas.

Boom!!!

Blood and severed limbs filled the sky, blown away by the wind created by the punch and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Everyone felt the world suddenly become empty.

They looked up.

Only to see that the entire night sky seemed to have been swept away, all the evil creatures had disappeared without a trace, even the giant floating fortresses had turned into debris and scattered all over the ground.

Everyone was speechless.

The entire world fell into silence.

Killing all the evil creatures with a single punch, even if they knew they were on the side of humanity.

What kind of terrifying strength was that!

Fierce Tiger didn't care at all and simply reached his hand into the void of space.

He caught a dying evil creature and threw it on the ground.

"This is the commander of the evil creatures, I've spared its life to see if you need to ask it anything" Fierce Tiger said.

Liu Ping didn't say anything and suddenly released a holy light onto the evil creature's body.

The evil creature's wounds were instantly healed.

Fierce Tiger frowned: "There's no need to deal with this kind of thing."

Before he could finish, the evil creature had already fallen unconscious.

Liu Ping did not say a word and released another ray of Holy Light onto its body.

The evil creature tilted its head.

It's dead.

Fierce Tiger went silent for a few moments, then suddenly chuckled:

"Very well, I like Divine-Type guys like you."
