Purgatory Artist

v3 Chapter 35: Eve of parasite

  Chapter 161 Parasite Eve

  Boom!

  There was a slight vibration in the arena.

  The flame monitor launched a charge, gradually accelerating as it pounced on Liuping—

   Then fell to the ground severely.

   It struggled to get up from the ground, and gasped: "Poison? Impossible, I am the king of poisonous lizards, what method did you use..."

  Liu Ping was too lazy to look at it again, just snapped his fingers.

  The three-headed half-human, half-worm monster appeared quietly, looking at Liu Ping with a subtle expression.

   "Do you want freedom?" Liu Ping asked.

   "Think." A monster said.

   "It's impossible," Liu Ping said slowly: "My only promise is to keep you alive-the premise is to be obedient."

  He stretched out his hand and pointed at the flame monitor.

   "Go, kill it."

"Yes."

  The three-headed monster shook his body, and several translucent wings appeared behind it, and flew towards the flame monitor lizard.

  The monitor lizard showed a vigilant color, and his body emitted a deeper red flame.

   "It's up to you?" It hummed disdainfully.

  Suddenly, a swift shadow passed by.

  咚!

  The monitor lizard was beaten back a few steps.

  A half-human, half-worm monster appeared, and he smiled and said: "It looks very strong, but I can't even dodge my attack..."

  The other two monsters vibrated their wings together, making a high-frequency "hum" sound.

  —They are accumulating strength and making final preparations for this hunt.

  Liu Ping saw this, so he stopped watching.

  He walked to the other end of the arena and reached out to take out the card book.

  The cover of the card book still reads that line:

   "Hypocrisy."

  "—A suggestion from the Holy Knight."

  Liu Ping turned the pages of the book, and saw that on the first page, the card slot representing the sacramental technique was gone.

  The whole paper becomes blank.

  Liu Ping wanted to open the second page, but found that he couldn’t open it.

  Lines of burning small characters quickly surfaced in the void:

  "You have learned the first ability of the Holy Knight: Holy Communion."

  "When your card level reaches a certain level and your soul power reaches a certain standard, it is possible to turn to the next page and obtain a brand-new sacred knight ability."

  Liu Ping read it at a glance and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

  Upgrade...

  If you want to upgrade, you must give up waking up Andrea and Yana.

  How to choose?

  Speaking of which, as a prison knight, all his skills are used on others, but there are also benefits—

  The battle mode of the prison guard determines that he is safe before all his cards are defeated.

  In her own card, Andrea is the whelp, Yana is the god, plus the nine lives cat demon Zhao Chanyi—

  If you awaken Andrea and Yana, you can basically ensure your own safety in this human empire.

but-

  Something always disrupted my plan.

  He stretched out his hand and drew lightly, drew a card out, and threw it out.

  Boom!

  Qian Zhouwu appeared on the opposite side.

   "Liu Ping..." Qian Zhouwu stared at him, his face full of disbelief.

   "Speaking of which, you should thank me." Liu Ping said.

   "Why?" Qian Zhouwu asked.

   "Become my card, you don't have to play for that monster anymore, and I'm a very tolerant person, I won't overly criticize you and your companions." Liu Ping said.

  Qian Zhouwu looked into the distance.

  On the other end of the arena, three bugs are rising, and the flame monitor can barely handle it.

  It's defeat and death, only a matter of time remains.

  "Don't you resent me?" Qian Zhouwu asked.

   "Don't worry, I don't have any interest in the grievances between you adolescents. I just want to ask you one thing." Liu Ping said.

"what?"

   "The existence in that cemetery, who did you plant its soul on?"

   "...you want to know this?"

"Of course, that monster must have sneaked into the empire. I have to take precautions in advance. It's best to pinch it to death while its distracting soul hasn't grown up, so that I can usher in a stable time again and get it slowly. All kinds of knowledge, gradually raise your personal level—peaceful time is always beautiful, isn't it?" Liu Ping smiled.

  Qian Zhouwu was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Since I returned to the imperial capital, I haven't actually contacted any people, and those people are not the target of the horrible existence in the cemetery."

   "Oh? Does it still have a goal?" Liu Ping said with interest.

  Qian Zhou Wudao: "Yes, a guy full of ambitions and desires like it...how could he be willing to be an ordinary person? As soon as he enters this empire, he will control everything..."

  Boom!

   A deafening sound rang.

  The two couldn't help turning their heads to look around, only to see the flame monitor lizard fell to the ground, and the dead could no longer die.

  The three bugs flew back and landed respectfully in front of Liu Ping.

  "Good job, bad job, I forgot, you can actually take this monitor lizard as a subordinate, but it's okay, there is another way—"

  Liu Ping finished speaking, and walked with them to the body of the monitor lizard.

  He knelt down and fumbled for a while on the monitor lizard's corpse.

  A line of burning small characters quickly emerged:

   "You activated an ability from Andrea: Treasure Pickup."

  Yiuping felt a cold metal object in his hand.

  He retracted his hand.

  I saw that this was a bell made of gold with a line of small characters engraved on it:

  "The personal mount of the manor housekeeper."

  Manor housekeeper—

Huh?

  Aldrich finally got rid of the status of a slave and began to become a manor housekeeper?

  In other words, he is about to rise to the top?

  So, the cards in his hand may become stronger in the next month's battle.

  After he knows Yana, he will be eligible to play Yana’s deck—

  That would be dangerous.

  Liu Ping was silent for several breaths.

  Finally, it's time to make a decision.

   Awakening Andrea and Yana has become an unrealistic goal in a short time.

  You must become stronger immediately.

  —Then fight those cards of Aldrich!

   Liu Ping squeezed the golden bell into a solid gold nugget, and then he said to himself: "You can exchange a lot of money."

  He took the gold nugget, turned his head and looked at Qian Zhouwu said: "Okay, let us hurry up, you tell me the identity of the parasite."

  Qian Zhouwu showed hesitation, finally sighed and said, "Okay."

  ...

  Imperial City.

  Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

  In the darkness, a thick card book was opened, and cards were revealed page after page.

   Strangely, these cards quickly turned into off-white.

It's just like-

  They are all dead.

  The hands that flipped the card book seemed tireless. They flipped for dozens of minutes before stopping.

  "Let me see...very good, those useless corpses have been wiped out, and the power in the soul has returned to me..."

"but-"

  Extend a finger and tap it lightly on a gray card.

  I saw Qian Zhouwu painted on this card. He was wearing a military uniform and looked sluggish, standing motionless in the center of the card.

   "What kind of ability is it that can steal my herald?"

   "The Herald is a potential slave, and the mission is completed very well..."

  The sound paused for several breaths. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   "Although it's a pity, forget it, don't let him reveal anything about me."

  One hand took another card out of the darkness, and whispered:

   "Death Curse is activated."

  Boom!

  A black light quickly dissipated from the card, burrowing into the void and disappearing.

   "Okay, no matter who he belongs to now, the death curse hidden in his soul can guarantee that he has been completely wiped out."

  The voice said, slowly closing the card book in his hand.

  In a short while.

  The sound of two rows of neat footsteps from far and near, staying outside the door, is blocked by a dense diamond curtain studded with stars.

  A respectful voice sounded from outside:

   "Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief of the empire, please see you!"

   "Let him in!"

   said the voice.
