Infernal Artist

Chapter 99 Awakening from nightmare

"Where did it go?" Yana mused.

"I don't know, is this important?" Liu Ping asked.

He flew up and swept across the entire town with his spiritual thoughts.

Every weapon and equipment appeared directly in Liu Ping's mind. He looked at it carefully for a few breaths and couldn't help but sigh.

What a pity.

It takes a lot of time to transform weapons with the knowledge you have gained.

Just fifteen minutes and nothing could be done.

Sudden--

The earth beat violently.

People were thrown into the air, and various combat equipment staggered back to the ground.

"With such a strong vibration, could it be that the old god is doing something?" Yana murmured.

Immediately afterwards, the ground shook violently again.

Yana suddenly became anxious and asked: "Is there a way to see what it is doing?"

Liu Ping turned around and shouted: "Painter!"

"I'm here." The painter trotted over.

"That monster—can we see what it's doing?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes, I can draw the movements in the wilderness as long as they are not too far away." The painter said.

The painter set up the drawing board, closed his eyes for a moment, and quickly drew a picture on it.

In the painting, the old god reached out and dug hard on the ground, grabbed a monster from the eternal night, ignored its struggle, and put it into his mouth to chew.

Tear--

The paper was torn.

"You can only read so much on a piece of paper, do you still want to read it?" the painter asked.

"Wait for a moment and then look again." Yana said.

She looked at Liu Ping and explained: "You may not know, but the name of that guy in the nightmare era was: Nightmare Fire Bearer. He was once an extremely powerful god."

"What does this name mean?" Liu Ping asked.

"It means it will ignite destiny. No matter whose destiny it is, it is possible to be involved in the nightmare."

Liu Ping asked: "If that's the case, why didn't you guard against it?"

"Time has passed for too long, and it has lost too much power, so that it can only serve as a thug for the Lady of Pain... Yes, for countless years, it has been willing to work as a thug for an inconspicuous god."

"but now--"

"Purgatory is about to be in chaos, and the way it looks now, it looks obviously wrong."

Yana said worriedly.

Liu Ping was silent for a few breaths and said to the painter: "Look what that monster is doing."

"good."

The painter started painting quickly.

The ancient god suddenly appeared on the page, and he was seen kneeling on one knee, making a prayer gesture toward the sky.

In the sky, a door opens.

Countless corpses flew out of the door and formed a giant circle behind the old gods.

The stranger in the nightmare suddenly turned around, looked at the giant corpse ring, and said solemnly: "Your sacrifice will open a new door to the era. This is your honor."

Andrea hugged Liu Ping's neck and screamed in fear: "Liu Ping, those are the eternal night beings that were eaten by it!"

"The Ring of Nightmare Divine Sacrifice—it wants to sacrifice!" Yana's expression changed, and she took out a book with her backhand and quickly turned to a certain page.

On the completely blank page, densely packed text gradually appeared. When Yana turned to the next page, she saw that the next page was also filled with text.

every page.

Various words appear on every page.

"What is this?" Liu Ping asked.

"The names of the past era - they have obviously disappeared since the end of the nightmare era, but now they have reappeared." Yana said absentmindedly.

Liu Ping frowned and said, "These are the names from the nightmare era? Names are professions, right?"

"Yes, these are the card master professions from the Nightmare Era, and now they have been revived, which means -"

Almost at the same moment.

The roar of the old gods echoed across the wilderness:

"The fall of the new gods is coming, and the nightmares and glory of the past are being restored."

"I am the fire bearer of the past. I am here to call Purgatory and the Pillar of Eternal Night to come and fulfill the vows made back then with us and the other gods!"

"Professionals of the times."

"Start competing for the title of nightmare. They have a higher status, more powerful power, and a more brilliant future!"

"All those who join, you will be blessed and protected by all the gods of the past!"

"With your names as the sequence, nightmares will rise into the night sky and rule everything!"

Along with the roar, the huge corpse ring began to burn.

The sleepers on the giant ring woke up one after another, and all let out painful wails and screams.

On the page in Yana's hand, names flew out one after another, flickering with light, flying into the sky one after another, and gradually disappearing into the void.

"Those names...are all revived."

Yana said softly.

"What impact will it have on us?" Liu Ping asked.

"I don't know, I only know that they represent the nightmare era and are synonymous with power in that era." Yana said.

Tear--

The paper cracked.

The painter took out another piece of paper and started drawing quickly.

I saw the old god standing in the center of the drawing paper, with fire all over his body soaring into the sky. Various unknown entities emerged from the void and flew in all directions.

Lines of burning small characters suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes:

"Your secret skill of 'a person without a role' is coming to an end."

"five,"

"Four,"

"three,"

"two,"

"one!"

"Everything is back to normal."

"Tip: In five minutes, Dark Mist Town will enter hidden time and space."

Liu Ping was quiet and said softly: "Shh."

this moment.

Everyone held their breath and slowly waited for time to pass.

Five seconds.

Ten seconds.

Twenty seconds.

Thirty seconds.

A minute passed.

There are still four minutes left.

suddenly--

Liu Ping's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes met Andrea's.

A trace of nervousness and fear flashed in the little girl's eyes——

The two of them sensed the situation at the same time.

At the end of the horizon, the monster suddenly turned back, its eyes locked on Dark Mist Town again.

Liu Ping said softly: "Start reconnaissance and report the situation."

Next to him, the team leader made a gesture.

Reports suddenly sounded in everyone’s headsets:

"Spotted movement."

"The ground was shaking slightly."

"Beyond visual range reconnaissance has begun, and the source of the threat has been determined."

A picture appeared on the light screen.

Liu Ping looked with the team leader and saw that the monster's head was almost touching the clouds, while its feet were in the wilderness. Every time it fell, the earth shook.

"Report, in 3 minutes and 25 seconds, we will enter hidden time and space!"

"According to this monster's current speed, it will arrive at Dark Mist Town in 30 seconds."

"—No, it's accelerating!"

On the screen, the monster seemed to sense something and gradually started running faster and faster.

The ground shook.

The team leader took a deep breath and shouted: "Everyone is ready!"

He picked up the diamond-shaped stone placed on the ground and threw it gently.

On the stone, countless glowing thin lines instantly flew out and disappeared into the steel modules that had been prepared in the town.

"Liu Ping." The team leader said.

"I'm here," Liu Ping said.

"We will fight with all our strength. You are the card master. Please join the fight depending on the situation."

After the team leader said this, he walked forward step by step.

Under his feet, steel steps appeared step by step, rising to a high place.

At the end of the steps, those large steel modules began to assemble, join together, and deform.

A huge humanoid steel mecha stood in the center of the town.

At the heart of the mecha, there was a small driving position. As soon as the team leader sat on it, dozens of long metal wires emerged from the driving position and fit on the surface of his body.

The team leader sat there and gently raised his left hand——

The huge steel armor also raised its left hand.

"Start self-examination." The team leader said.

A soft female voice sounded:

"Self-checking in progress."

"All functional modules of the body are normal,"

"The magazine is loaded,"

"The energy supply system is normal and the peak data is normal,"

"The combat system has been activated,"

"Threat detected, target is thirty kilometers ahead and to your left."

"Ready to fight."

Following the reports, people slowly turned their heads and looked outside the city wall.
