Infernal Artist

All the world of light and shadow disappears.

Only that perfect pattern appears in the void——

But in the deep and gloomy dark world, endless white flowers bloomed as far as the eye could see.

Under the cover of black and white.

A heavy coffin was displayed among the flowers.

The coffin has been pushed away.

A skeletal hand stretched out from the coffin, holding the weapon high.

——It was a purple-black long-handled weapon with a rotating vertical pupil inlaid at the top.

Lines of burning small characters emerged:

"With the power of decks, card books, and sequences, you unleashed strange techniques:"

"The darkest death partner (passive)."

"When you receive fatal damage, this technique is activated immediately."

"The target you designate will be sealed in front of you as a doll."

"The doll is connected to your soul. When you die, it will bear your death for you, and you will borrow the power of its death to temporarily obtain the effect: resurrection."

"Resurrection: All damage is reduced by 90%, all wounds begin to heal, and you will not be swallowed by death for the time being."

"——This technique will last forever and has no end."

"——When your injury recovers, this technique will be automatically released."

Liu Ping read it all at a glance.

On that pattern, the hand of bones has already grasped the top of the scepter, pinching the vertical pupil in the palm of its hand.

The vertical pupils were crushed silently.

"You are in a state of imminent death."

"Automatically activate the strange technique: Darkest Death Puppet!"

"You need to specify your goals."

Liu Ping slowly raised his head and looked at the three-headed skeleton opposite.

"Specify—it!"

Liu Ping said with difficulty.

The next moment.

The tentacles that penetrated his chest disappeared out of thin air.

The three-headed skeleton held a card and said in surprise: "No - this is the power above mystery!"

It tried to throw out the card, but it was too late.

Endless white flowers emerged from the void, surrounding, trapping and drowning it.

The three-headed skeleton immediately became unable to move.

Immediately afterwards.

All the white flowers faded away, and a black coffin appeared.

boom--

The coffin was opened.

A long black thread emitted light, flew down in front of Liu Ping, and twisted into a palm-sized doll.

Three headed skull.

It has become a doll.

Liu Ping smiled, closed his eyes and said, "You go and die first."

The doll burst into a scream.

In the void.

Lines of burning small characters appeared quickly:

"The darkest death partner is dead."

"With its power of death, you gain the effect: Resurrection!"

"All the damage you suffer is reduced by 90%. Your wounds are healing. You will not be swallowed by death for the time being."

Liu Ping opened his eyes.

——I am indeed not dead.

But the horrific wound on his chest was still there.

It is healing at a slow rate.

Yana suddenly appeared, with holy light emerging from her hands——

"Wait a moment!"

Liu Ping shouted quickly.

"What? If you don't get treatment quickly, you might really die." Yana said anxiously.

"Don't worry, that monster just died like that? Why can't I believe it?"

Liu Ping said, looking towards the doll on the ground.

The doll was seen trembling and struggling, and suddenly burst into laughter:

"Such strange power is your last resort?"

Yana's expression changed and she lost her voice: "It's not dead yet!"

Liu Ping said nothing, just looked into the void.

Lines of burning small characters emerged:

"Your target has countless individual lives, and you have just paid for the life of a single individual."

"——It has countless lives."

Liu Ping read it all at a glance.

Just listen to the three-headed skeleton sternly saying: "I have devoured endless sentient beings and have endless lives. It is impossible for you to kill me - no one can!"

Liu Ping was silent for a few breaths, then glanced towards the void, stopping at the last two lines of the explanation of the technique:

"——This technique will last forever and has no end."

"——When your injury recovers, this technique will be automatically released."

He suddenly smiled and said: "It's difficult to kill you, but it's probably not easy for you to break away from my technique."

A dagger appeared in Liu Ping's hand.

He raised the dagger and stabbed him hard!

A line of prompts suddenly popped up in the void:

"You are in a state of imminent death."

"The strange technique: The Darkest Death Puppet remains active!"

"The target is still alive."

"The target will suffer death for you again!"

The three-headed skull doll suddenly burst out into a scream: "Ahhhhhhh--"

Lines of burning small characters appeared quickly:

"The Darkest Death Puppet once again paid with his life."

"With its power of death, you gain the effect: Resurrection!"

"All the damage you suffer is reduced by 90%. Your wounds are healing. You will not be swallowed by death for the time being."

Liu Ping read it at a glance and picked up the three-headed skull doll on the ground.

"How does it taste?" he asked.

"Quick, quick, quick - pull the dagger out of your chest! I am bearing death for you! It hurts, it hurts so much!" the doll yelled crazily.

"Don't you have countless lives? Why are you afraid of this?" Liu Ping asked.

"You will regret it - I will kill you! After this technique disappears, I will torture you with endless means!" the doll roared.

Liu Ping looked down.

I saw that the wound pierced by the tentacles had healed, and the dagger was stuck in the chest——

The wound on his chest is scabbing.

"I'm sorry," Liu Ping smiled slightly, showing his white teeth and said, "I plan to let this technique never end."

He held the dagger and twisted it hard!

The doll suddenly burst out into continuous screams:

"Ahhhhhhhhh-damn card master, I'm going-to kill you!"

In the void, lines of burning small characters jumped out again:

"Combat Records (omitted)."

"It cost another life."

"Congratulations on discovering the value of this strange technique."

"From now on, you and your dolls can play with each other until the end of the world."

After all the small characters are displayed, a new prompt appears:

"You have learned the secret: the details of this unspeakable monster."

"Your experience value increases to 95%."

"Your role has been increased."

"Current scene: 7/10."

Liu Ping thought for a while and couldn't help but feel enlightened.

The three-point upgrade method has evolved.

——Now, as long as you get information that you have never heard of before, you can gain experience.

This is a good thing.

He pulled the dagger out of his chest and inserted it again.

"Ahhh! Bastard! I'm going to kill you!"

The doll twitched and roared in anger.

Liu Ping shook his head and said, "You probably have no chance."

He looked to one side and saw Yana's beautiful eyes widened.

"you--"

Yana stammered.

Zhao Chanyi also flew out of the card book, looked at Liu Ping up and down, and said suspiciously: "Liu Ping, could it be that your body was taken away from you, so you won't die?"

"This is not a matter of death or death," Liu Ping coughed lightly and said, "This is a very serious battle. Once I don't do this, the monster will return to its true form, and then we will be in trouble."

"So this is the spell you used to spell the cards?" Yana asked.

"That's right."

Liu Ping introduced this strange and strange technique.

The two women digested it for a while.

"I see - in this case, you have to remain on the verge of death at all times to suppress that monster." Zhao Chanyi said thoughtfully.

"right."

Liu Ping pulled out the dagger and inserted it in another position.

Everything around him gradually returned to normal.

The Card Master War is over.

Several people returned to the plain again, and all the bugs and parasitized people around them were gone.

"Where are those people?" Yana couldn't help asking.

"This monster is very strange. All individuals have no consciousness and are all part of it, so those bugs and people have become one with it." Liu Ping said.

He bent down, picked up the three-headed skull doll, and randomly found a rope to tie around his waist.

"Will you take it with you from now on?" Yana asked.

"Let's do this for now. Anyway, the prison room has been damaged. Nine core cards are needed to repair it. However, the nine core cards are using strange techniques and cannot be used." Liu Ping said.

"Then -" Zhao Chanyi said.

Yana looked nervous, pulled out the shadow knife, and slashed Liu Ping's body.

Zhao Chanyi also gritted her teeth, turned her hands into claws, and slapped Liu Ping hard.

The doll suddenly burst into screams.

Liu Ping couldn't help but look at the two women.

"Your injury is almost healed!"

Yana and Zhao Chanyi said in unison.

"...Oh, don't be nervous, I know it well." Liu Ping said helplessly.
