purgatory artist

Chapter 101 A New Title
Everything came to a standstill.

In Dark Mist Town, except for Liu Ping, everyone seemed to be in a frozen state.

Even the light and shadow in the sky was fixed by some unknown force.

A line of small burning characters quickly appeared:

"When you expressed your desire to obtain the 'Nightmare Name', the old gods spent a huge amount of divine power and completely sealed everything."

"You are the first existence to embrace the Nightmare Age when it returns."

"The old gods of the nightmare era are hidden in the void, waiting to witness this extremely sacred scene."

"Please proceed with caution."

All the small characters were quickly displayed, as if to cover up his own existence, they flashed past and disappeared from Liu Ping's eyes.

next second.

Looking down at Liu Ping, the old gods hummed: "You come from this era, and grew up as a card master under the rule of the gods of purgatory, but now you have to fall into the arms of nightmare—"

"Joker, do you know what 'loyalty' is?"

Liu Ping looked up at it.

Around the old god, the void twisted and twisted with seething lava.

According to the sequence, other old gods are hidden in the void——

Liu Ping suddenly smiled and said, "I just need to say a word, and you will understand."

"Say." The old god said.

"I come from the world above my head." Liu Ping said.

The old god looked up at the lingering light and shadow in the sky, thought for a few breaths, and looked down at Liuping again.

"Yes, I know about it..."

"The world of practice, it is the world stolen from the void by the lady of pain, and it is specially used to replenish slaves and resources for her."

"No wonder you are full of spiritual power, no wonder you don't have any sense of belonging to purgatory, it turns out that you almost became a slave of Lady Pain."

Liu Ping also looked at the light and shadow, and said softly: "Originally, I still had a way to delay for a while, and then directly enter that world, but after I knew what you were doing, I completely dismissed this idea."

"Why?" asked the old god.

"Because I need the name of Nightmare, I need to become stronger step by step. Sooner or later, I will kill these gods who take us as slaves." Liu Ping said.

The old gods listened intently, and said solemnly: "It's not an easy task to kill those purgatory gods who are high above you, but you made the absolutely correct choice, after all—"

"That's what we're going to do next."

It stretched out a slender arm, and with a light grab from the dark night, it took off a shining star.

This star is inlaid in the deep dark night, and together with the darkness, it turns into the back of the card.

The old god stretched out his hands, covered the card, and asked:

"Joker, what kind of fighting style are you good at?"

"A lot." Liu Ping said.

"A lot? But you are too weak." The old god said.

"The reason why I am weak is because my knowledge is limited, and I have never heard of such an interesting profession as a card master." Liu Ping said.

"I can feel that you are telling the truth. It is not bad for a person like you to be the first to embrace the Nightmare Era..."

The old gods spread out their hands and showed the card face-up in front of Liu Ping.

It was a man in gray armor, holding a long knife, and a hazy halo appeared above his head.

The endless dark mist turned into a cloak and draped over him, and a continuous shadow appeared behind him, as if something was following closely.

The old god said: "Among the many titles, 'Joker' is just a very common one. It can even be said that the power possessed by the title 'Joker' is extremely rare, but this card in my hand is not It’s the same, its name brings together the power of the Nightmare Era.”

Liu Pingdao: "I am a monk halfway, so it would be nice to get a professional card - but what is the name of your card?"

"Nightmare Walker."

The old gods held up the card and tossed it lightly.

I saw that card turned into a bright star again, rushed into the night sky, and quickly disappeared into the light and shadow in the sky.

"This card went to the practice world, and those card masters who heard about it will definitely fight for it."

"I thought you were going to give it to me." Liu Ping sighed.

"That can't be done. Only the card master who has defeated all the contenders is eligible to get this professional card. This is its wish and our request." The old god said.

"What about me? No chance?" Liu Ping asked.

"No, clown, as the first person to embrace the nightmare era, you will get a secret about this professional card." The old god said.

"All ears." Liu Ping said.

"This card cannot be found." The old god said.

"...cannot be found?"

"Yes, you must think of other ways to make it yours."

After finishing speaking, the old gods retreated step by step, walking towards the depths of the wilderness.

Liu Ping shouted from behind it: "Hey, if there are endless people looking for this card, won't the competition never end?"

The old gods laughed lowly, and said without looking back:
"Anyone who comes to compete for the title of this nightmare will know one thing clearly—"

"There is only one winner of the title, and all the failed card masters will contribute their lives and become sacrifices to nightmares."

The voice fell.

The light and shadow in the sky suddenly soared and spread to all directions.

In an instant, the entire Dark Fog Town disappeared.

A line of small burning characters quickly appeared in the void:

"Notice!"

"The laws of time and space have been modified by the old gods."

"From now on, no entrant will be able to leave the practice world until the 'Nightmare Walker' is born."

……

"What happened just now?"

"I don't know, I thought I was dead."

"Strange, are we still alive?"

"What about that monster?"

"I don't know, it seems that we have entered the hidden time and space all of a sudden."

Everyone returned to normal again, discussing in a hurry.

Gradually, their eyes focused on Liu Ping.

——During the entire battle, the only one who caused trouble to that old god was Liu Ping.

If something happened, he should know.

"All right."

Liu Ping clapped his hands and said: "Don't think too much, the next battle is a battle of card masters, which has nothing to do with you, you just need to do what you should do and survive in this world."

"I see." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The team leader was the first to react, and shouted: "We are in the world of practice at the moment, everyone will act according to the original plan!"

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.

"Hurry up, hurry up, put away the guns on the city wall!"

"Clean up the house, change the shape and style."

"Arranging careers—"

"You are a blacksmith, you are a vegetable seller, you are a hair shave, you go to the teahouse, you go to the street, you all take action!"

Steel was replaced by mud bricks, mechs were replaced by restaurants, and camps were replaced by vegetable markets.

Everyone was tossing around in a hurry.

Fortunately, they are all veterans, and they arranged everything in just a few minutes.

Liu Ping looked around.

Jana and Andrea are there.

The rabbit disappeared.

——It wasn't his own card, so he couldn't follow it?

So it seems.

Liu Ping looked out of the city again.

There were only two small roads outside the city that were almost covered by wind and sand, leading to the depths of the desert.

This place...why does it seem familiar...

"What happened just now? I felt that I was enveloped by the vast divine power, lost my senses, and couldn't move at all." Yana asked.

Liu Pingdao: "According to that guy's promise, I said that I would compete for the title of Nightmare, and that guy accepted it—it seems that they need manpower now."

He briefly explained the process.

"A card that cannot be found? Then how to fight for it?" Andrea wondered.

"'Nightmare Walker'...you did see it turn into a star and fly into the world of practice?" Yana pondered.

"Yes." Liu Ping said.

"It seems to be the name of the stars." Andrea said.

"The name of the star?" Liu Ping asked.

Yana explained: "Like the 'Joker' and 'Blood Knight', the star name also needs to meet certain conditions before it can be exclusive to the card, but the difference is that this profession itself has an exclusive Power can be activated without drawing a card."

"Proprietary power, for example?" Liu Ping asked.

"For example, if I recover a little bit of strength, just standing in front of you, you will feel that you are being strangled by the throat again and again, and you will continue to suffocate." Yana giggled.

"Excellent." Liu Ping praised.

The three of them were talking, when they suddenly raised their heads and looked up to the sky.

In the sky, two flames flew across, circled above Dark Mist Town, and fell down together, stopping in front of Liu Ping.
