Purgatory Artist-Chapter 218: The King of Deceit and the Death Puppet

The Spirit of the Ancient Tree's voice was heard:

「It has fixed the Laws of Insect Resistance, Elemental Resistance, Curse Prohibition, Soul Absorption, and 16 other Laws, this is the best book I have, worthy of your extraordinary talents, Lilith.」

Lilith was already panicking.

"Don't, Liu Ping, this book is very expensive — — very VERY expensive! Really! It's not worth buying! "She stood on Liu Ping's shoulder, pulling his ear and shouting.

"How much is it?" Liu Ping asked.

「I've already calculated, I need 90% of your wealth.」 the Spirit of the Ancient Tree said.

"How do you know how much money I have?" Liu Ping asked.

「In Eternal Night, those who do business naturally have a few unique skills.」 the Spirit of the Ancient Tree said.

"Alright, deal."

Liu Ping took out a Card and threw it out.

The Card was still in the air, but it instantly disappeared.

The Spirit of the Ancient Tree's voice became even gentler:「Money and goods are done, no refunds. As a bonus for buying the Tome, I'll help Lilith complete the Tome Spirit synchronization ritual.」

Clusters of long branches reached out from the Ancient Tree, circling around the Tome.

On each long branch, the green leaves were faintly glowing runes that were emitting a gentle light.

A few moments later.

The center of the Tome also started to give off light.

「Lilith, you've lost too much power, I'll help you this time and help you stabilize your current level — — – don't leave your Tome so easily again!」 the Spirit of the Ancient Tree said.

"It's too expensive." Lilith sobbed softly.

Liu Ping thought for a bit, then his expression became serious.

He lightly put Lilith on the cover of the thick tome — — -

"Did you hear that? No refunds or exchanges. "

He said.

Lilith waved her hands, unable to say anything.

Liu Ping said, "I remember that we signed an Evernight contract. As long as I save you, you must do your best to repay me once."

"Yes." Lilith nodded.

"As a Tome spirit, if you don't even have a Tome, how are you going to help me find my companions?" Liu Ping asked.

He handed the Tome to Lilith.

The Spirit of the Ancient Tree sighed and said: 「 Don't let fate down, it takes a lot of power to save a tome spirit without a tome. Lilith, you've been silent for too long, you need to wake up.」

Lilith hesitated. "But I —"

The Spirit of the Ancient Tree cut her off: 「You were once discovered by someone from a hidden location, unfortunately, the person who discovered you ended up losing you to another Card user. Are you afraid that this will happen again? 」

Lilith bit her lip and wiped her eyes.

「Then how about this, I can give you a contract — — the youngster next to you must continuously increase his strength in a fast. If his rate of improvement is too slow, you can punish him, how about that? 」 the Spirit of the Ancient Tree said.

"NO!" Lilith shouted and quickly said: "Don't restrict him!"

「Why not?」 the Spirit of the Ancient Tree asked.

"He already saved my life and gave me a card tome, why should I restrict him? That's not fair to him!" Lilith said.

She turned to Liu Ping and gathered her courage: "Liu Ping, I'm willing to help you as your Card Tome, but if you lose me to someone else in the future, I'd rather give up my Tome and hide, never to appear again. Do you agree?"

Never to appear again — —

For a Tome spirit, once they leave their Tome, they'll become weaker and weaker until they finally disappear.

This is the true meaning of never appearing again.

Liu Ping smiled and said: "I won't lose."

Lilith mischievously said: "Someone seems to have forgotten that we've just escaped from the hands of two monsters."

Liu Ping said: "But we haven't lost — — they still haven't found us, have they?"

He continued: "We'll defeat them in the future."

"Really?" Lilith was a little doubtful.

"Don't worry, I never lie." Liu Ping assured her.

The Spirit of the Ancient Tree narrowed its eyes and stared at Liu Ping, muttering in an almost indiscernible voice: 「Using the sensorium of all living beings to reveal his characteristics.」

A few moments later.

In the Spirit of the Ancient Tree's vision, an illusory arrow silently appeared.

The arrow pointed at Liu Ping, followed by a line of small description:

[The King of Deceit]

[Note: He has deceived too many people, including demons, Sleepers, and prisoners. Any existence would fall for his trick if they weren't careful, truly the King of Deceit]

The Spirit of the Ancient Tree went silent for a few moments.

Never lies?

This brat ...

The Spirit of the Ancient Tree muttered: 「... Matchmaking them should be a good thing, why do I feel a little regretful ...」

At this point, Liu Ping noticed something and asked in confusion: "What did you say?"

The Spirit of the Ancient Tree immediately replied: 「Ah, nothing, seeing a card user without a card tome and a card spirit without a card tome both receive help, I feel relieved.」

"Thank you for your help." Liu Ping said.

"Yes, thank you, I will definitely pull myself together this time!" Lilith declared with her voice filled with energy.

She landed in the middle of the card tome.

The runes hidden by the green leaves around her emitted a faint flame, accompanied by a faint resonance sound.

「Now, Lilith!」 The Spirit of the Ancient Tree said.

Lilith nodded and fell towards the tome— —

Her body completely sank into the card tome, only forming the outline of a girl on the cover.

Around the girl, there were all kinds of dolls.

At the same time.

Lines of small burning words suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ping:

[You've obtained a true Card Tome."]

[Take note, this is a Card Tome with a Tome spirit, completely different from ordinary Card Tome, the difference is like heaven and earth]

[Only when the Tome spirit tells you her ability, will you then know all the information about this Card Tome]

Lilith's voice suddenly appeared in his ears:

"Liu Ping, I have lost too much power, now I am very weak ... I need a very long time to become more powerful, can you accept that?"

"I am also only a level 7 Card User, let us work hard together." Liu Ping smiled.

Lilith seemed to sigh in relief, then continued: "Then remember, the only ability I have left now is to absorb your Soul Points and control dead Cards — — just like controlling dolls."

"How do you determine whether or not an entity is a Card?" Liu Ping asked.

"That is very simple. Within Eternal Night, all entities other than Card users are considered 'living beings', and 'living beings' are Cards." Lilith answered matter-of-factly.

Liu Ping sighed.

No wonder.

The Tome of Fruit of Malice can directly turn a person into a fruit.

The Tome of Soul Rending can create an endless number of Demonic Ants.

So within Eternal Night, living beings are all fruits, ants, dolls, or even anything.

— — -This is the most merciless aspect of the Mystic-realm Law.

As he silently thought, lines of burning words quickly appeared in front of his eyes:

[The Tome Spirit has personally told you her secret]

[When you use the corresponding amount of Soul Points, this Tome will be able to take in all dead Cards and control them like dolls]

Liu Ping opened the Tome.

Several Cards automatically flew out from his body and landed on top of the Card Tome.

The borders of these Cards all turned black, complicated patterns appeared on their backs, giving them a sense of mystery and nobility.

Noticing this change, Andrea abruptly looked at Liu Ping from the Card Tome and exclaimed: "The power of Death ... Liu Ping, you obtained a Death-type Card Tome?"

"I did." Liu Ping replied.

"That's ... truly unexpected ..."

Andrea sighed, "Death-type Card Tomes are extremely rare, each of them follows the Mysterious Law of Fate, so they won't easily show themselves because they contain an extremely precious power."

"Is it turning people into dolls?" Liu Ping asked.

"No"

Andrea shook her head, then looked at Lilith with an indecipherable gaze.

Lilith looked at Andrea and said in a low voice, "I guess she means Soul Fire."

"Soulfire?" Liu Ping shrugged.

Lilith patiently explained: "In your deck, after any Card is sacrificed, it will leave a wisp of Soulfire with me. If you can find enough treasures, the Card will be able to be reborn — — of course, this is extremely difficult, but it's still a bit more hopeful than normal Cards."

"Right, I forgot to tell you, I don't have much strength left right now, so this card book of mine is called: Death Puppet."

Liu Ping was surprised.

— — -a Death-type Card Tome is that powerful?

He couldn't help but look at the Spirit of the Ancient Tree.

The Spirit of the Ancient Tree understood and nodded: 「If it weren't for Lilith, I wouldn't have given you the Tome Spirit synchronization ritual so easily.」

At the same time, lines of burning text appeared in the void of space again:

[You've obtained the card tome: Death Puppet]

[It has two abilities]

[First: Death Puppet (as mentioned before)]

[Second: Soulfire]

[Description: Each of your Cards will leave a Soulfire within the card book, giving them a chance to be reborn after true death]
