Infernal Artist

Precarious.

The roaring in the night sky never stopped.

The entire world fell into war, countless fires of life were extinguished, and countless souls were harvested.

The end of it all is getting closer.

But at this critical moment, something extraordinary seemed to happen.

The door of the temple was blown open by the wind and rain again.

A figure appeared quietly.

This is a two-horned skeleton covered in flames, wearing a suit of dark purple armor, carrying a huge shield on its back, and holding a battle ax.

It opened its dark eyes and looked toward the temple.

At this glance, it relaxed and said in a low voice: "What are you doing? I thought something was going on here, so I came here to take a look."

In the main hall of the temple, the little girl was already hanging in the air.

The lizard man was exuding divine light, holding a spear, pointing at the little girl and saying: "Kill her, and everything will be over."

"Yes, do it." The two-horned skeleton said.

"Who should be credited with the merit of killing a world lord?" the lizard man asked.

"Your spear is very strong. Killing her will be no problem. The credit for this incident will naturally go to you." The two-horned skeleton said impatiently.

"Actually, what I want is not this credit, but other things I need." The lizard man said.

There was a hint of fire in the dark eye sockets of the two-horned skeleton.

It seems that the other party wants to discuss a business deal.

It slowly walked into the temple and said, "What do you want to exchange for this credit?"

"What do you have?" the lizard man asked.

"Last time I captured the female world master of that world, I got a piece of radiance source stone." The two-horned skeleton said.

"How's the quality? Let me see." The lizard man said.

The two-horned skeleton hesitated for a moment and took out a gem from the void.

I saw pieces of tangible light like petals blooming from this gemstone, like a precious flower in full bloom.

The moment the gem was taken out, soft whispers seemed to come from the void.

"Good stuff." The lizard man couldn't help but said.

"I believe you have seen many radiant source stones, but this one is different from the others. It contains the last cry for help from the female world lord. It is extremely valuable and very rare." The two-horned skeleton said proudly.

"Deal, give me the gem, and you will kill the master of this world." The lizard man said.

When it spoke, it had already put away its spear, stepped away from the little girl hanging in the air, and walked to the two-horned skeleton.

"good!"

The two-horned skeleton threw the gem to the lizard man and flew towards the little girl impatiently.

It swung the tomahawk with all its strength and struck the little girl's head hard -

Unexpectedly, the battle ax suddenly hit the air.

The little girl turned into an illusion and disappeared into thin air.

Waves of ethereal and beautiful sounds sounded in the surrounding void, as if coming from the sky.

The two-horned skeleton fell to the ground, turned to look at the lizard man and shouted: "Are you kidding me?"

"Yeah, I'm just teasing you, how about that?" the lizard man said.

The two-horned skeleton was about to take action immediately, but as soon as he took a step, his entire body fell apart and turned into broken bone fragments falling all over the ground.

Bang!

Its head rolled in front of the lizard man, stared at him and said, "Master will not let you go."

The lizard man squatted down and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will kill the master too."

He snapped his fingers.

Snapped--

The head of the two-horned skeleton suddenly shattered.

Lines of small burning characters then appeared in the void:

"You disguised everything as a 'special effects artist'."

"Under the veil of nothingness, you performed the secondary strange knife technique:"

"If there are any voice-hearers, their souls will be cut off here."

"The God of Victory (the current world) and the Messenger of Killing (the servant of the Lord of Nightmares) have died."

Collect all the fine print.

Suddenly the little girl's nervous voice came from the void:

"Liu Ping, hurry up, there are gods coming to check the situation again, this time there are five of them!"

"Five is a bit too much," the lizard man said.

"What should I do? I can't run away. They must have felt that I was here just now." The little girl panicked.

"Don't be anxious...be calm when encountering trouble." The lizard man said slowly.

He meditated on the breath and power emanating from the two-horned skeleton just now, waved his arms, and once again released the power of the "special effects artist".

In an instant, the mess on the ground disappeared.

The little girl appeared in mid-air again, her hands locked and unable to move.

The two-horned skeleton reappears.

It was carrying a large shield and holding a battle ax, standing opposite the lizard man.

"What's the price?" the two-horned skeleton asked.

"If you want to take the credit for killing her, you can't do anything less." The lizard man said, crossing his arms.

"I'm just the Lord of the World. Isn't what I gave you enough?" the two-horned skeleton asked.

"I think it's still a little bit worse." The lizard man said.

boom--

The door of the temple was knocked away by a strong force.

Five figures rushed in.

"Hell, you are clearly here to discuss business, why do you make me feel like you are dead?" a one-eyed demon floating in the air said.

"Because this guy came up with something incredible."

The lizard man smiled, turned his hand, and a stone appeared.

The five gods looked at each other.

"This is obviously just an ordinary stone." The one-eyed demon did not hide his disdainful tone.

The lizard man threw the stone.

The one-eyed demon caught the stone.

suddenly.

All breath of it is gone.

- Everything about it ceases to exist, as if it were dead.

The one-eyed demon was startled and handed the stone to the second god.

The one-eyed demon's aura immediately recovered.

The second god took the stone, and all the power fluctuations and aura on his body disappeared immediately.

"Oh? There is such a treasure. No wonder we thought you were dead just now." The one-eyed demon said in wonder.

The five gods passed the stone to each other.

The "effects" brought by the stones are also constantly coming to them.

"Yeah, this is a good treasure, specially designed to help you fake death and escape in critical moments." The two-horned skeleton showed off.

The lizard man didn't speak at this time, just crossed his arms and glanced into the void.

A line of small burning characters stayed in the void:

"You continue to release the power of the 'special effects artist', covering all the breath of every god holding the gravel (normal), giving everything a false illusion of 'disappearing'."

He only glanced at it and said in an impatient tone:

"Okay, you go, let's talk about business, we don't need you to interfere here."

Five gods, you look at me, and I look at you.

——Since there is nothing wrong here, it is just a private profit distribution, so it is not easy for me to stay here.

It would be bad if there was a misunderstanding between the skeleton and the lizard.

"Okay, I'll leave first."

A god said and disappeared in an instant.

The lizard man immediately pointed at the one-eyed demon and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

"Okay." The one-eyed demon stayed where he was and waited.

The other gods left one after another.

soon.

Only the lizardmen, the two-horned skeletons and the one-eyed demon were left in the temple.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" the one-eyed demon said.

"Don't rush into talking about things now. Let's see how the reward is." The lizard man said.

He stretched out his hand and threw something again.

——It is the source stone of radiance from before.

While it was still in the air, it bloomed with infinite brilliance, taking on the shape of petals, and bursts of sound came from inside.

The One-Eyed Demon knew the goods and immediately shouted: "Good stuff! This is the source stone of radiance!"

It stretched out several tentacles to hold the source stone, and lifted it up to examine it carefully.

For a while.

It finally said: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

The lizard man stood still.

"I want something from you." The two-horned skeleton said.

"What?" the one-eyed demon asked.

"Fate." The two-horned skeleton said.

Buzz——

Amidst the sound of swords that shattered the void, a sharp long knife pierced the one-eye, and it suddenly trembled, releasing endless layers of sword light.

The one-eyed demon's entire body was immediately cut into a bloody mist that was blown away by the wind.

"Liu Ping!" the little girl screamed.

She didn't know why she was screaming——

But this way of killing two gods in a row has never been seen before.

——I'm afraid there is no other being in the world who kills people in this way.

This is simply more exciting than pretending to be a human to go to the concert!

Buzz…

The sound of the sword stopped.

It wasn't until the long sword was slowly withdrawn into the void that a voice sounded:

"Don't make any noise. Let's cover up the smell of blood, erase the murderous intent, clean up the corpses, and figure out the plot before we can win the trust of these guys."

"Two of the four gods who left just now have gone and come back. They are here!" the little girl screamed again.

Different from before, this time it was fear.

"Calm down, they are here to help us improve work efficiency." Liu Ping said.

The next moment.

All traces of the battle disappear.

The one-eyed demon reappeared in the temple, holding two treasures in its long tentacles.

One is the radiance source stone.

The other one is an ordinary piece of stone.

On the other side, the two-horned skeleton and the lizard man stood still, exuding powerful power fluctuations unique to the gods.

There was no breath in the one-eyed demon, as if he was dead.

As soon as these illusions were arranged, the void opened again, and the two gods from before came out.

A stone demon covered in runes.

Beside it is a human man.

They looked at the stone on the one-eyed demon's tentacles.

"What's the matter?" the two-horned skeleton asked impatiently.

The human patted the stone demon and said with a smile: "Ah, I told you that you are a fool, but you still don't believe it - look, it's the stone that blocks the breath."

"You are here to cause trouble, right?" The lizard man also said in a bad tone.

The stone demon looked at his three companions.

They are all staying here fine and without any problems.

The stone has been tried on its own.

There really is no problem.

"Sorry, I was careless." The stone demon said angrily.

"Let's go." The human man said.

The one-eyed demon suddenly pointed at the human man and said: "Wait a minute, you stay, we still need a helper for our plan, don't worry, the benefits are enough."

"Oh? Do you have business coming?" the man asked with interest.

"Yes, now we finally have enough manpower. I want it to join this business. Do you have any objections?" said the one-eyed demon.

The two-horned skeleton looked at the human man and said nothing.

This is tacit consent.

"Okay, as long as he stays, we have enough manpower." The lizard man said.

"Yes, we have enough manpower, you can go." The one-eyed demon said to the stone demon who was standing aside.

"Ah, okay, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have disturbed you."

The stone demon said something and left in a hurry.

Silence returned to the temple.

Now.

There are four gods here.

Lizard men, two-horned skeletons, one-eyed demons and human men.

"Everyone, tell me what a good thing it is."

The human man rubbed his hands excitedly.

——The two treasures in the hands of the one-eyed demon are valuable.

There must be a big deal going on here.
