Purgatory Artist-Chapter 135: Evil Creature!
Chapter 135 - Evil Creature!
"We're going to stay in a place like this?" Libertas complained.
There were two beds in the double room and a window. Other than that, there was nothing else.
Liu Ping opened the window and looked outside.
70 meters away, there was a three-story building made entirely of red bricks, no different from the male dormitory.
That was the female dormitory.
Looking further away, he could see the empty valley, as well as the hazy mist that filled the valley.
As the mountain breeze blew, the mist would slowly disperse, allowing him to see the lit village at the foot of the mountain.
"Not bad," Liu Ping said.
"Not bad?"
Liebertas' voice suddenly became louder: "This room doesn't even have a toilet or a place to shower, you have to walk all the way to the end of the corridor, and you call that not bad?"
"The room is very quiet." Liu Ping replied.
A chest was placed at the end of one of the beds.
Opening the chest, he could see a full set of Empire standard armor.
— — -It was the equipment that he had someone deliver to him.
Liu Ping walked up to the bed and sat down: "I'm going to rest for a bit, what about you?"
"I'm going to take a shower," Libertas replied.
He opened the door and left.
Liu Ping sat on the bed, silently thinking about what happened in the past two days.
The heroic spirit UI was hidden in the void of space.
Only when he called for it, or when something else happened would the UI silently appear.
Everything is still in order right now.
Perhaps tomorrow, I'll be able to get in touch with this world and understand the mysteries of the Card power system.
And [Spiritual Inheritance] — —
I need to find a way to collect those things as soon as possible and see if I can 'inherit' anything good from the sleeping giant outside the village.
Other than that.
What else do I need to pay attention to?
After thinking for a few moments, Liu Ping suddenly sensed something.
He turned to look outside the window.
Under the dark night, a humanoid creature with a pair of black wings silently landed on the roof of the female dormitory.
An old man appeared and sternly shouted: "Someone, come quickly — —"
The humanoid creature swung his hands and pulled out a pale white bone axe from the void of space, swinging it towards the old man's head.
Although it took a long time to describe, everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Liu Ping only managed to see two lines of text above the humanoid creature's head:
[Nightwing Ghoul]
[— Devil's scouts and assassins.]
Almost at the instant he saw the two lines of words, Liu Ping quickly chanted without hesitation.
"May all of your flesh, blood, and spirit return to your soul and be absorbed by me until there is nothing left."
This was the power of the Heavenly Torment Soul Curse, a mutated variant generated by the Heroic Spirit Sequence.
Curse: Soul Absorption!
The winged humanoid monster shuddered and let out an extremely sharp and furious roar.
Its body suddenly dispersed, turning into countless butterflies of darkness that disappeared into the void.
The white bone axe was only two inches away from the old man's neck, but it had lost the power to move.
The axe let out a roar, unwilling to give up. Then, it spun diagonally and fell down.
Boom!
The axe hit the ground, creating a deep hole.
Liu Ping retracted his gaze and laid on the bed. He calmed his breathing and instantly entered a deep state of concentration.
He seemed to have fallen asleep.
Lines of burning words quickly appeared in front of his eyes.
[You used Soul Absorption.]
[The enemy has been killed.]
[Your Soul Points limit has been increased.]
[Current Soul Points value: 2/10.]
My Soul Points limit went from 3 to 10!
This time, it had increased by more than three times!
Liu Ping continued to sleep.
It wasn't until the noise outside became louder and louder that he rubbed his eyes and sat up in bed with a surprised expression.
"Who are you?" he cautiously shouted.
He saw two masked men in full body armor standing in front of his bed, looking at him with scrutinizing eyes.
One of them replied: "It's not him."
The other replied: "Definitely not, he's only a kid."
"He died young, so he can't be that strong. Let's go take a look at the villains."
"Let's go."
The two of them flashed and disappeared.
Liu Ping was stunned for a bit, then muttered: "What exactly is going on?"
He appeared doubtful and stood up to look outside the window.
Every window was filled with people.
Everyone was looking at the center of the two dormitory buildings.
Over there, two groups of fully armored soldiers stood in place, exuding waves of powerful auras.
In front of these soldiers stood a man with a giant hammer in his hand.
"What happened just now?" the man asked.
"It's an evil creature ... the kind that specializes in assassination." the old man replied.
The man's expression became grim, looked up at the windows on both sides and loudly declared: "Very well, tonight is a curfew, close the windows and go back to sleep. Anyone who casually walks outside will be arrested and interrogated — — -"
"From now on!"
The windows were closed one by one, the surrounding students quickly scattered.
Liu Ping also closed the window and laid back down on his bed.
Libertas pushed the door open and said excitedly, "I saw it."
"What did you see?" Liu Ping asked.
"From the bathroom, we can see the situation on the roof of the opposite building. All of us saw an evil creature!" Libertas answered.
"What? Why would an evil creature come to our human territory? "Liu Ping didn't understand.
"It seemed to have come to test something, but as soon as it attacked, it was killed by some kind of power." Libertas answered.
Liu Ping heaved a sigh of relief and rejoiced: "Seems like we're safe here."
"It's not safe. When I was bathing just now, I met a few fellows from the villain class, they also discussed this matter" Libertas said.
"What did they say?" Liu Ping asked with interest.
Libertas lowered his voice and said: "There's an evil force in the west of the Empire, they've always wanted to conquer humans — — just like in Purgatory."
His expression was a bit complicated as he sighed: "I thought that the enemies in Eternal Night were only monsters, who knew that we still have to face evil creatures."
Liu Ping didn't say anything.
Lines of small burning words appeared in front of his eyes:
[Through eating and resting, your Soul Power has recovered a bit]
[Current Soul Power: 3/10]
[Note: All attacks and defenses, and even all powers, can be driven by Soul Power]
Liu Ping fell into deep thought.
Using [Sacred Chant] once required one point of Soul Power.
His original Soul Power limit was three points.
In other words, he could originally use [Sacred Chant] three times in a battle.
But now, his Soul Power limit was ten points.
This meant that he could use [Sacred Chant] ten times in a battle!

Liu Ping's gaze shifted to the Heroic Spirit UI in the void of space again.
— — -so [Heroic Spirit Shelter] was actually this powerful?
He thought for a bit, then stood up to take off his jacket and shoes, laid back down on his bed and covered himself with a blanket.
"What time is it? You're already sleeping?" Libertas was surprised.
"I fought for so long during the day, I'm tired, good night" Liu Ping replied.
Saying so, he closed his eyes.
The current situation is so strange that even evil creatures have appeared.
Seems like I need to rest as soon as possible to let my Soul Power recover a bit more.
This way, if any situation arises, I'll be able to deal with it more easily.
A few minutes later.
The sound of even breathing could be heard from Liu Ping's bed.
Libertas glanced outside the window.
More and more soldiers were gathering on the field, whenever they gathered into a squad, they would be sent out to search for something.
The atmosphere was tense.
Libertas helplessly shook his head and muttered: "Seems like tonight is only suitable for sleeping."
He also took off his shoes, lay on his bed, and quickly fell asleep.
A few moments later.
Liu Ping opened his eyes, flipped his hand, and held a Card in his hand.
[Purgatory Card: Flesh Hound]
He hid the Card under his pillow and directly called out with his mind:
"Fire Fang, you don't need to come out, but stay alert, got it?"
The Flesh Hound called Fire Fang said, "Why do I feel like it's very dark outside? Don't tell me we're already in Eternal Night? "
"It's nighttime, can't you see I'm sleeping?" Liu Ping asked.
"That's true" Fire Fang suddenly realized, "When will you let me see the Divinities, dragons, and mystical unkillable creatures by your side?"
"They're all asleep — — - you're still too young and not strong enough to protect you right now, I only put you in charge of guarding at night, so you won't meet them for now, wait until later," Liu Ping said.
"So that's how it is, I didn't think you'd be a dog lover ... I'm a bit touched." Fire Fang said.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you grow even fast." Liu Ping said.
"Hm, sleep well, if anything happens, I'll call you right away. If it's urgent, I'll try to block them." Fire Fang said.
"I'll leave it to you".
Saying so, Liu Ping went to sleep as he was also very tired.
After all, he was only a 13-14 year old boy, after a full day of work yesterday, both his body and mind were exhausted.
...
The next morning.
Liu Ping opened his eyes, only to see lines of burning text hovering on the ceiling:
[You've obtained sufficient rest]
[Your Soul Points have been replenished]
[Current Soul Points: 9/10]
Liu Ping reached under his pillow and put the Card: Flesh Hound back into the void of space, then sat up, stretched his back and looked at the other bed.
Libertas was still sleeping.
Liu Ping looked outside the window.
In the small square, several ferocious-looking evil creatures were tied up on the ground.
"Execute them!"
The old man stood on one side and loudly shouted.
The fully armored soldiers stepped forward one by one, drew their swords, and swung.
The Evil Creatures' heads fell off.
