Chapter 412: Section 200: The Purple Reaction
“An astounding power arose from the 50,000 Devil’s Coins.”
“If the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps still held those coins, it would’ve spelled disaster.”
“But what followed was an auction.”
“At the auction, Zi Di and Cang Xu splurged the Gold, drawing all the attention to themselves, sparing no expense to increase their powers.”
“As a result, the vast majority of the Devil’s Coins were spent by them.”
“Because of a sudden twist at the auction, Cang Xu and Zi Di didn’t return the remaining coins to the treasury of the mercenary group.”
“Each of them held onto some of these coins.”
“So where did the majority of the coins end up?”
“On… Hun Tong!”
“The transaction process at the auction on Twin Eyes Island was different from most auctions.”
“Due to the special identities of the buyers, the transactions were carried out on the spot.”
“The buyers paid the coins to the auction house in exchange for the items won.”
“The sellers would receive coins from the auction house.”
“But the coins received by both parties were not from the same batch.”
“In the case of the Devil’s Coins, the specific situation was: Cang Xu and Zi Di received the auctioned items and handed over a portion of the Devil’s Coins to the auction house.”
“The auction house then paid the sellers with a prepared amount of coins.”
“This process was not unique to the Twin Eyes Island; other auctions operated the same way.”
“The main reason was to prevent buyers from tampering with the coins, buying real goods with fake money.”
“If sellers received fake money, they surely wouldn’t take it lying down; disputes arise, and it’s the auction house’s reputation that suffers.”
“As far as the auction house is concerned, since it organized the trade event, it naturally assumes the corresponding role and risks.”
“Therefore, the auction house must be responsible for both buyers and sellers.”
“And for the auction house, reputation is paramount.”
“Without a reputation, there would be no participation from either buyers or sellers. An auction that no one attends is truly the worst outcome.”
“Hence, auction houses always reserve liquid funds to pay sellers with verified authentic coins.”
“As for the coins from the buyers, the auction house also conducts a certain level of verification.”
“Normally, these verifications are accurate.”
“Even if they’re not, and the auction house receives counterfeit money, it’s only a small portion of the total transactions at the auction. The most important thing, the reputation, is preserved, and such a loss is sustainable.”
“And the transaction funds obtained by the auction on Twin Eyes Island are closely guarded. After the auction ends, heavily armed forces escort them to the City Lord’s treasury.”
“But this auction was unusual.”
“The entire auction house suddenly became a prison, trapping the Transcendents within.”
“How could Hun Tong feel at ease leaving those coins lying around?”
“Therefore, while leading everyone to attack the auction house, he also stashed the transaction funds into his storage equipment.”
“The Naga Priest saw no effect of her prayers, beginning to doubt whether they were successful.”
“In truth, she had indeed succeeded.”
“But the power of the contract was silent and invisible.”
“There was neither grand luminescence nor earth-shattering sound. Only the whispers of the Devil traced across the heart of the concerned party.”
“Thus, Zi Di’s eyes suddenly reddened.”
“Her mind remained crystal clear, but her motives had completely changed.”
“Attack the island!”
“Help the Fishmen take down Twin Eyes Island!!”
“A moment ago, she planned to endure, wait for the right moment, and stealthily take the corpse in front of her.”
“But now, her mind was consumed by how to efficiently fulfill the contract.”
“She immediately began to manipulate the Deep Sea Monster Fish, transforming into its Fishman Form.”
“Aperatures appeared on both sides of the ship’s hull, from which skeletons emerged.”
“Plate armor rapidly attached to the skeletons, forming around the Fishman.”
“The entire hull bent, and the dragon bone at the end detached automatically, transforming into a giant harpoon.”
“Within seconds, the Deep Sea Monster Fish had completely morphed into a massive Fishman, wielding a harpoon.”
“The Deep Sea Monster Fish had three forms, with the Fishman Form being the most formidable in combat!”
“In order to fulfill the contract, Zi Di showed utmost sincerity.”
“She was rational enough to know that, as a mere Bronze Level Undead Mage, she alone was powerless.”
“But with the might of the Deep Sea Monster Fish, she could best assist the Fishmen in capturing Twin Eyes Island!”
“Becoming a giant Fishman was just the beginning.”
“The next moment, the Fishman planted its feet on the ocean floor and looked skyward.”
“Its gaping maw revealed golden cannon barrels – arc guns.”
“Gold Level bombs, the Python Flow Bombs, slid along the conveyor inside the Fishman’s throat into the rear of the cannon, entering the chamber.”
“Mana from the Mana Pool furiously poured in.”
“The muzzle of the arc gun flickered with electric light.”
“A vast, imposing aura of Gold Level power emanated in all directions!”
“Alarm bells echoed throughout the main deck of the Golden Shiny.”
“It had detected a colossal Fishman at the sea’s bottom, amassing power for an imminent Gold Level attack!”
“Zi Di was unaware that Hun Tong had also been affected.”
“Her logic dictated: to assist the Fishmen as much as possible, she must first eliminate the most powerful enemy.”
“And surveying the entire battlefield, who could be stronger than the ascending Gold Level demon-energy ship in the sky?”
“Combat Skill – Fiery Flame Dance Skirt.”
“Silver Fighting Spirit swirled around Yue Ban, complementing her fur as it ignited.”
“The flames intricately intertwined, forming the shape of a dance skirt.”
“The fierce flames distorted the air surrounding her.”
“This Dancing Lady is exceptionally strong!” Hong Zhu struggled to withstand Yue Ban’s assault, her hands, used for defense, quickly charred by flame.
“She retreated time and again, and once she found a moment to breathe, she hastily took out a potion to drink.
Anti-fire potions!
Hong Zhu and Yue Ban clashed, and in a one-on-one fight, Hong Zhu gradually started to lose ground.
However, it was not easy for Yue Ban to come out victorious.
Hong Zhu had a never-ending supply of magic tools.
Often venturing into the wild, sometimes even alone, she had developed the habit of always being fully equipped.
As a result, her supplies were usually very abundant.
Meanwhile, hundreds of meters away from their fight in the air, the battle group consisting of Qing Xin, Cang Xu, and Ya Ma were engaged in combat.
Qing Xin and Cang Xu, fighting together, also inevitably started to lose ground.
Ya Ma, riding on the back of a flying ant, had excellent flying capabilities.
Surrounded by several flying ants, she also had the support of Yellow Nest Ants.
The latter, like a mobile artillery unit, posed a significant threat to the enemy!
In this battle, the advantages of the summoner were fully utilized by Ya Ma.
The best strategy against Ya Ma was not to engage the summoned creatures, but to go directly for the summoner.
Ya Ma was a formidable foe.
Even if the Dragon-man youth were present, she would not be easy to deal with.
The Dragon-man youth could handle assault and ambush tasks, especially against summoner targets, but he had one major flaw –
He couldn’t fly.
The most the Dragon-man youth could do was to use his combat skills to make long-distance leaps.
In fact, this jumping ability was less practical than Hu Li’s musical scale combat skills when attacking enemies with the ability to fly.
“Why are you so weak, how can you be this weak?”
“It’s a huge disgrace that I lost to you!” Ya Ma kept shouting, looking both annoyed and angry.
On the surface, Cang Xu still appeared as a Silver Level Mage, and no one had seen through his disguise yet, but his Deception and Disguise Skill did nothing to enhance his combat power.
So, the strength he displayed was genuinely that of a Black Iron Level.
Even with the help of a Fire Magic Ring, he was barely above the level of Black Iron.
“Where is your other companion?”
“We’ve been fighting for so long, and she hasn’t shown up.”
“Has she already run away?”
Ya Ma used her words to strike at Cang Xu’s morale, attacking his spirit.
Meanwhile, she controlled the alchemy bee swarm, driving Cang Xu and Qing Xin into hiding, a truly sorry sight.
Qing Xin finally managed to prepare and released a Wind Blade Spell.
The Wind Blade came flying.
Ya Ma’s flying ants darted out to bravely withstand the Wind Blade.
This female summoner’s defense was quite solid; up to now, she had not even used the magic tools she had for protection.
“You don’t even have a magic wand.”
“You really bring shame to Mages.”
Ya Ma taunted Qing Xin, then pulled out a snake-shaped Magic Wand.
First, she infused it with mana and then tossed the snake-shaped Magic Wand outwards.
Mana burst forth and transformed into wings on the wand.
In an instant, the snake-shaped Magic Wand came to life and, with its mana wings, turned into a Silver Level Feathered Snake that hurtled towards Qing Xin.
Qing Xin was in big trouble.
For a while, she could only retreat incessantly, unable to look after Cang Xu anymore.
“Even if someone helps you, you’re still going down by my hand.”
“In the end, it’s because you’re useless.”
“You’re given a chance, yet you’re still useless!”
Ya Ma laughed out loud, full of arrogance.
However, the next moment, Cang Xu suddenly looked up, his eyes now completely blood-red.
He also had a small number of Devil’s Coins.
He was under the influence of a contract.
Cang Xu let out a long howl.
Countless ghosts emerged from him, causing a sudden chill to sweep across the battlefield with the rising of cold winds.
“Uh?!” Ya Ma’s smile froze solid, her eyes widening, pupils shrinking – she hadn’t anticipated such a sudden turn of events.

“An, an Undead Mage?!” Hong Zhu and Yue Ban both inhaled sharply, slowing their attacks.
Qing Xin, too, looked on with a mix of shock and confusion.
Cang Xu was committed to fulfilling the contract with all his sincerity, naturally meaning he would go all out.
Consequently, his identity as an Undead Mage was also revealed.
The Dragon-man youth rushed over, witnessing the scene with a bitter heart.
He was almost at Cang Xu’s side.
But it was all in vain!
How could he help now?
Before, when Cang Xu hadn’t revealed his Undead Mage background, the Dragon-man youth could have intervened to offer assistance with some justification.
But now, if he intervened, it would be totally inexplicable!
After finally arriving, he found it difficult to intervene.
This outcome made the Dragon-man youth feel quite helpless.
Zong Ge frowned tightly, confused: “Why? Cang Xu could have kept delaying; although in a tricky situation, it was not drastic enough to use Undead Magic!”
The Dragon-man youth also saw Cang Xu’s bloodshot eyes and had a thought: “Something is very wrong with Cang Xu!”
Cang Xu’s blood-red eyes and continuous howls overflowed with killing intent, causing a chilling fear.
His reasoning had not diminished in the least.
The power of the contract had simply warped his own will.
