Purgatory Artist
Chapter 525: Nostalgia

Chapter 525: Nostalgia

Large pieces of bricks and tiles were falling down one after another.

The passage connecting Eternal Night and Purgatory was shaking nonstop, as if it would collapse at any moment.

A gigantic armor the size of a mountain hovered in the void of space.

「 What are you looking for? 」

It grabbed the monster and asked.

The monster was completely stunned.

On the other side of its head, the male voice resounded: 「 Master, I didn’t think he would have such a trump card 」

The female voice spoke: 「 Can we eat him now? After all, he seems to have extremely powerful soul power 」

The monster looked down at the giant black hand that grabbed it, then looked up at the giant armor.

The armor was wearing a black visor that was completely obscured, making it impossible to see what kind of face was behind it.

Gradually, black shadows began to appear one after another in the void of space.

At a closer look, these shadows were all skeletons that were hovering in the air. Their heads were lowered, hovering around the giant armor without moving at all, as if they were performing some sort of ritual.

「 No ... this isn’t that brat from before ... this feeling, why do I feel a bit familiar? 」

The monster muttered a few words, then suddenly recalled something and began to tremble.

The eerie face that was originally behind its head slowly disappeared.

「 Go! 」

A short but fearful scream resounded from the void of space.

Instantly, only the male and female faces remained on the head.

The eerie face disappeared from the back of its head.

The male and female faces turned back to the front of the body, both confused.

「 What happened? 」 the male voice asked.

「 Master seemed to have dispelled the descent and left 」 the female voice replied.

They both looked up at the giant armor, a bit confused about the situation.

The giant armor remained silent and didn’t say anything.

A black skeleton landed on its shoulder and spoke with a hoarse voice:

「 Insignificant newborn, this is not a place where you should stay. Go, no matter where you go, you shouldn’t be here, nor should you know any more secrets. 」

A bottomless black hole suddenly appeared in the void of space in front of it.

If one looked inside the black hole, they would see countless objects scattered around, including many broken and broken Bygone Era artifacts.

Inside the black hole, everything was chaotic and unpredictable.

「 What are you trying to do? 」 the male voice cautiously asked.

「 Don’t say anything, attack it first! 」 the female voice replied.

The two voices began to emit that shrill whistle in the tone of a chant:

「 In front of us, no one can.」

Their voices stopped abruptly.

Their mouths were still open as if they were trying to say something, but no sound came out.

Even the collapse of the entire passage became silent.

The entire world was silent.

Only the colossal armor looked down on it, like a god looking down on a tiny ant.

The male and female faces gradually closed their mouths, revealing a confused expression.

The giant armor didn’t say anything.

In the void beside it, another black skeleton that was hanging motionlessly spoke with a humming voice:

「 Since you don’t know anything ...」

The giant armor raised its hand and put the monster into the black hole.

「No!」

The male and female voices roared in shock and anger at the same time.

The black hole disappeared.

Their voices also completely disappeared.

After doing this, the giant armor suddenly extended its other hand and made a grabbing motion toward the void!

Another monster was caught in its hand.

Looking at its face, it was the monster that had just dispelled its descent!

「Spare me! Spare my life! I didn’t purposely want to know your secret!」the monster trembled as it spoke.

Being caught in the giant armor’s hand, it didn’t even try to resist like the male and female face monster and instead begged for its life.

The giant armor simply looked down on it without saying anything.

One of the black skeletons spoke in a low voice: 「 The nightmare tide still hasn’t descended, why did you come to the world of living beings? 」

「 I was wrong! I won’t ever break the rules again! 」 the monster loudly replied.

「 Tell me your secret, you only have one chance 」 the black skeleton spoke with a booming voice.

「 I was ordered to come here to find that entity! It suddenly disappeared! It should have already descended at the end of Evernight, waiting for the moment the tide rises! 」 the monster replied.

「 Who are you talking about? 」 the black skeleton asked.

「 That’s it! 」

With a single thought from the monster, a projection appeared in the void of space.

Within the projection, a giant-like entity could be seen. There was a deep hole in the middle of its head, flickering waves of light were radiating from the hole. Just a single glance at it was enough to make anyone feel despair.

At the same time, its body was covered in thin and long tendrils of flesh, each of which had a vertical pupil at the tip.

The monster spoke with a respectful tone:

「 It is the vanguard of this nightmare tide, a great entity with the title of ’Lord of Nightmares’ 」

「 Unable to even block a single attack from me ... such a weak entity can be called the ’Lord of Nightmares’? You have truly disappointed me 」 the black skeleton’s voice became cold.

The monster understood what it meant and spoke with a pale expression:

「 Sir, I’m only following orders, please spare my life! 」

「 You shouldn’t have tried to pry into my secrets, this is the path to your death 」 the black skeleton replied.

As soon as it said that.

The giant armor’s hand slowly clenched.

A series of cracking noises could be heard from its hand.

A few moments later.

A faint figure floated up, but as soon as it reached the air, it was sucked into the mouths of numerous black skeletons, then split into countless thin threads that were devoured and disappeared without a trace.

Everything was over.

No.

There was only one thing left.

The sky-full of skeletons circled around the giant armor without stopping.

The giant armor broke apart, its body turned into small pieces of scales that disappeared into the void of space.

Like a storm, all of the armor’s scales disappeared.

Liu Ping reappeared in the void of space.

He closed his eyes and fell unconscious, falling towards the bottom of the cave.

Countless black skeletons hovered in the air, circling around him to prevent any rocks from approaching him.

At a certain point.

Liu Ping slowed down and hovered motionlessly in the air.

An invisible barrier seemed to have manifested below him.

When the black skeletons saw this, they immediately flew over and surrounded him in mid-air, turning into a huge black skeleton.

One of the skeletons stepped forward to hug Liu Ping and spoke in a low voice: 「 Death, you’re nothing but a show in front of me 」

Boom

A resounding noise.

The barrier seemed to have disappeared.

At the same time, all the black skeletons also disappeared without a trace.

Liu Ping continued to fall.

...

A few hours later.

Eternal Night.

In a desolate wasteland.

Burning text floated in the void of space, unmoving:

[You’ve lost all your weapons]

[The only thing still in use is your Saint title:]

[The Saint of the Tides]

[Attention, Eternal Night is not a safe place, please awaken!]

Liu Ping remained motionless, as if he had fallen unconscious.

Ever since he saw the white light, he felt like he had fallen into a complete trance.

He was about to forget something that had been buried deep in his memories.

But he couldn’t forget it!

Even if he died, he couldn’t forget it!

The voice said:

「 I have too many things that I miss .」

miss.

What do I miss?

What exactly do I miss !!!

Liu Ping frowned a bit.

He desperately held onto this thought, no matter how his mind changed, he simply followed this thought into the depths of his memories.

After an unknown amount of time.

The boundless white light faded.

He seemed to have seen a certain scene.

A man stood on top of a towering dark tower, looking down at the entire world.

" I have too many things that I miss "

The man spoke.

Behind him, a towering humanoid figure suddenly appeared, wearing a black scale armor, the aura it gave off had surpassed Liu Ping’s understanding of countless lifetimes ...

A majestic voice sounded from the armor:

「 There’s no need to miss these crops. You’re the strongest fruit. Merge with me and become the power of my evolution. This is your glory, and also your destiny as the strongest human. 」

The man smiled slightly, allowing the wind to blow his face, but he didn’t turn back at all, only looking at the scenery in front of him.

" What I miss is not only this illusory world, but also all sentient beings. I keep feeling that everything wasn’t like this originally. " He spoke.

Behind him, the towering and huge existence said solemnly, 「 Humans have too many inexplicable emotions. In fact, no matter what kind of world it is, or even the myriad of worlds, if you abandon human emotions and look at it, you’ll only see eternal killing and devouring. 」

The man nodded slowly and said softly, "You’re right, but ... "

He turned around and looked at Liu Ping. He smiled and said, "Maybe humans should have another home."

Everything ended here.

All the images disappeared.

Liu Ping and the man’s eyes met, until the man disappeared before his eyes.

It was this one glance.

A thought suddenly appeared in Liu Ping’s mind.

「 Go find the historian and read the last sentence of Chapter 398. 」

As soon as this thought appeared, he instantly fell into a coma.

Rustle ... rustle ... rustle ...

Under the dark night sky, a series of footsteps approached from afar.

A few humans appeared around them.

" Eh? There’s someone here? "

" It’s a young man. "

" Is he injured? "

" No. "

The sound stopped.

The few humans surrounded the young man on the ground, their expressions gradually changed.

" I feel that he’s strangely kind. "

" Me too. "

" It’s like he has some kind of power ... that can soothe my soul. "

" Maybe it’s an extremely powerful healing profession. "

" Or a diviner, a prophet, anything is possible. "

The few of them spoke slowly, gradually turning their heads and looking at the leader of the team.

The leader of the team sighed and looked at Liu Ping’s face, only to see that he was sleeping peacefully.

" We came out for a mission, but forget it, let’s save him first. "

He ordered.

" Yes, boss. " Everyone replied in unison.
