Purgatory Artist-Chapter 276: Warden

[You're dead]

[You're dead]

[You're dead]

[...]

In the void of space, lines of burning text appeared one after another.

Even though the content of the reminder was death — — -

But at this point, both Liu Ping and the panda couldn't help but sigh in relief.

"All the lives I've gained from killing living beings have returned!"

The panda spoke with an extremely excited tone.

Liu Ping thought for a bit and pondered: "Everything that happened after this point in time has been cut out, and I've become the me of this point in time ..."

— — -his level has returned to over 10 levels.

"That's right, this isn't simply traveling through time" the panda also agreed.

Liu Ping looked at the void of space.

The transparent map he got from the Occultism Fiend King had already disappeared.

What does that mean?

— — – it means that the subsequent events haven't happened yet.

However.

He looked up, only to see a ring of alternating light and darkness floating above his head.

"40 meters of darkness!"

— — -why is it still here?

A line of burning text appeared in front of him:

[The covenant on the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night cannot be retracted]

[You've used up LV 20 and LV 30 skill points in advance to obtain '40 meters of darkness']

So that's how it is!

I managed to escape with my life and gain something, that's already good enough.

Liu Ping stood up with the Blade in hand.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared on the bronze saber.

It was the big shot who wrote the dissection manual!

However, what appeared on the Blade was only a shadow, not the real him.

"No matter who it is, if they see this shadow, it means that I'm still alive, I have to thank you."

The black shadow solemnly bowed and continued:

"Don't worry, you're already the owner of this Blade, so of course you'll know its secrets."

"In the past, through various divination methods, I found out that I would die the next time I used it."

"Unless, at that moment, someone picked up the Blade and cut through time and space, only then would I be saved ... and also bid farewell to this Blade ..."

"You must be careful, this Blade will always trigger the death of its user — —"

"This is something destined to happen, unless you find the scabbard."

"I've never been able to find its scabbard, so I'm unable to activate its complete 'Silence', 'Rotation', and 'Phantom Spirit' powers."

"This is regrettable ... but at least you've saved my life ..."

"Thank you again."

"When we meet in the future, I will further express my gratitude."

The black shadow dimmed and gradually disappeared from the blade.

Only the last sentence floated in the darkness:

"The name of this blade is: Prison Suppression."

All sounds faded away.

In the darkness, lines of burning words quickly appeared.

[You received a weapon card:]

[Saber: Warden Blade]

[— — Blessing of the Myriad Deities, the Blade of Protection that dominates Space-Time]

[When in the sheath, this blade possesses the following powers:]

[Silence]

[Those who wield this blade can hear all secrets and have nothing to fear]

[Rotation]

[— — -Do not take any damage that is guaranteed to hit, defensive techniques or objects will first take all damage]

[Phantom Spirit]

[— Summon another you from a parallel universe to fight for you before you strike]

[The above three powers can only be used when the saber is in the sheath]

[The following three powers can be activated as soon as the saber is drawn]

[Life Protection]

[— — Devouring a Card severs Space-Time, turning it into a peeled parallel world that no longer descends upon the main world]

[Witness Oblivion]

[— — Devouring a Card, entering a peeled parallel world to witness the destruction of this world]

[Night Concealment]

[— — This blade can be attached to other weapons, exerting all of their powers]

[Those who wield this blade can enter the real world]

[Special note:]

[The stronger the Card that the Warden Blade devours, the longer it severs Space-Time, and the longer it remains in the destroyed world]

[When it loses its sheath, it will create a Fate Thread that will devour its owner. Every time you use it, you will be one step closer to your own death]

[Special note:]

[You are an entity with the Title 'Twilight's Embrace']

[You have only just become this blade's owner]

[Because of your Title, when 'Life Protection' was activated this time, this blade had drawn a Card from its previous owner and exempted you from using any Cards]

[The next time you use this blade, you will use your Card]

[Keep that in mind]

Liu Ping looked at the numerous burning words and couldn't regain his senses for a while.

— — -It has to have a sheath?

This is the first time I've seen a blade that can devour its owner without a sheath.

Furthermore, it has three powers that can't be exerted without a sheath!

Currently, I can only use the following three powers:

[Life Protection], [Witness Oblivion], [Night Concealment].

And one more thing:

[Those who wield this blade can enter the real world]

I can't understand this at all.

But — — -

I don't have time to think about that right now.

Liu Ping held the bronze saber and took out the shadow saber. He tried to put the two sabers together.

The long bronze saber turned into a deep darkness and silently attached itself to the Shadow Saber, gradually disappearing.

Two lines of burning text appeared:

[You've activated 'Night Concealment']

[The Warden Blade is hidden within the shadow, able to exert the shadow's power at any time, as well as the Warden Blade's own power]

Liu Ping nodded, put the blade away and looked up again.

— — -the giant is still circling the mountain.

If I ask for directions again, wouldn't everything repeat itself?

After getting the panda, I thought I'd just die and return.

But now, it seems the panda isn't that useful either!

The only useful thing is the Prison SuppressingWarden Blade.

— — -but it can only activate [Life Protection] and [Witness Oblivion] by consuming Cards.

The Cards I have are all my companions.

And [Rock of Nothingness] is an instrumental Occultism Card.

How can I feed it?

Liu Ping thought hard for a few moments, then suddenly slapped his forehead.

That's right!

There was originally an evil creature hiding in the dark here!

He turned to look at a rock in the distance, only to see a line of text appearing behind it:

[Level 50 evil creature, hidden]

Liu Ping sighed in relief, then waved his hand at the rock and loudly called out:

"Hey, big brother evil creature over there, hey I can already see you."

A few moments later.

A pitch-black evil creature with horns on its forehead stood up from behind the rock.

" Who are you? How did you find me? "

The evil creature cautiously asked.

Its body was slightly tilted, ready to run away at any moment.

Liu Ping felt a bit worried as he watched.

That's right.

In a place like this, it really isn't easy to find someone I can talk to.

"I'm a human from a Sequence world, I accidentally teleported here" Liu Ping smiled and answered.

" Then you're quite capable, to be able to survive until now " the evil creature commented.

"I have something to discuss with you" Liu Ping said.

" What is it? " the evil creature asked.

" I need a few things to survive, and you can provide them" Liu Ping said.

" Why should I give them to you? " the evil creature coldly laughed.

"Because I can find a way to leave this place and reach a safe location" Liu Ping answered.

" Can you prove it? "

"Of course I can"

Liu Ping moved his body and flew towards the giant that was rotating the mountain.

When he got close to the giant, the giant immediately turned its head and aimed a pair of empty eye sockets at him.

"Excuse me, I know you're the main character, but there's something I need to ask" Liu Ping loudly said.

A line of burning text quickly appeared:

[You've activated 'Cameo Armor']

The giant's aura slowly calmed down as it silently looked at Liu Ping, waiting for him to continue.

"Where can I go to avoid that bottomless abyss and reach the other side?" Liu Ping asked.

The giant reached its hand out and pointed in a certain direction.

It was still the same direction as before.

"No, I don't want to go that way, is there any other way? A relatively safe one? "Liu Ping continued asking.

The giant thought for a few moments and pointed in another direction.

「... Even further. 」

The giant's voice shook the void of space.

Liu Ping nodded: "I understand, then, thank you for your kind intentions, your performance will definitely be very successful."

He glanced at the stunned evil creature on the ground and signaled it to leave.

The evil creature hesitated for a bit, then clenched its teeth and ran towards the second direction the giant pointed in.

Liu Ping wanted to stall for time, so he asked again: "Aren't you tired of going around and around here?"

The giant: 「... Tired.」

"I don't want to know any of your secrets, because secrets are too tiring, I just want to know if there's ever a moment when you want to stop walking back and forth like this?" Liu Ping asked.

「There isn't.」 the giant answered.

Liu Ping glanced into the distance, the evil creature had already run out of sight.

Now.

It's my turn.

"Alright, I'm about to part with you, I hope you'll have a good time every day."

As soon as Liu Ping said that, a golden glow appeared behind him.

Yana!

Boom — — -

An ear-piercing explosion resounded.

She carried Liu Ping and flew for three seconds, then suddenly disappeared, then reappeared and flew for another three seconds.

This went on for a total of 9 seconds.

It was only now that she turned back into a card and returned to the Card Tome.

Liu Ping borrowed the remaining momentum to turn back into a small pebble and throw it into the grassland.

This place was already quite far away from the giant.

The giant stood still for a while, then began to circle around the mountain again, no longer paying attention to anything that happened outside.

Liu Ping waited for a while, then silently turned back into human form and began to walk away from the mountain.

Slowly.

The giant became further and further away, almost disappearing into the thick black fog.

— — -we're safe!

Liu Ping stopped and spoke to the void of space in front of him: "So? Work together with me to leave this place? "

The void of space shifted.

The evil creature appeared and spoke: "You've already proven your abilities, speak, what do you want from me?"

"Cards"

Liu Ping smiled and replied.
