Purgatory Artist-Chapter 137: Dragons
Chapter 137 - Dragons
The classroom.
The old man stood on the podium and spoke loudly: "After yesterday's trial, those who remained have been confirmed as members of this class, so — —"
"From now on, you can call me: Teacher Ted, I'm a naturalist."
"I'm responsible for guiding you to become official Professionists of the Empire."
"As for your Professions, I've made some calculations, the basic situation is like this ..."
While he spoke, Liu Ping was lost in thought.
Lines of burning text still remained in front of his eyes, explaining the ability he just obtained:
[You've obtained a mutated ability: First Dragon Hex]
[Number of times available: 3]
[By releasing this ability, you will display the majesty of the dragon race, allowing you to soften specific body parts of the enemy]
Liu Ping was in a daze.
— — Soften specific body parts?
What ... does this have to do with the majesty of the dragon?
Just as he was thinking, he heard Mr. Ted clapping his hands and saying,
"I believe you've all seen it, the official soldiers of the town have all been sent out to hunt down the evil creatures that appear nearby."
"Your mission today is to head to Frost Wind City, 2000 miles away, to take over the city guards and be in charge of public security and order."
"Is there a problem?"
Qian Zhouwu stood up and asked: "Teacher, how do we go?"
Teacher Ted stuck a blank card on the blackboard and answered: "You don't have to worry about that, the Sequence will arrange and adjust it."
"Children, you only need to find suitable teammates and act together — —"
"Create your own team, cooperate with the operation, and complete the mission, this is also a test for you."
Everyone understood tacitly.
The youths of each team sat together in tacit understanding.
Only Liu Ping, Libertas, and Hua Qingkong sat alone in the last row, looking a bit desolate.
Libertas whispered: "If I knew, I wouldn't have slept so early yesterday ..."
"You're an Assassin, why do you need so many helpers?" Hua Qingkong asked.
"That's true," Libertas said, "You're a transfer student, if you don't join us, what do you plan to do?"
"I originally planned to act alone, after all, I'm not familiar with anyone in the class," Hua Qingkong casually said.
"You're bold," Libertas gave him a thumbs up.
Qian Wuzhou stood up again and said loudly, "Teacher, my team is ready. We can set off at any time."
"Alright, come up and get a team card," Mr. Ted said.
Qian Wuzhou walked up to the podium and took a card from the blackboard.
Mr. Ted informed everyone: "Every team member will press their thumbprint on the card and give the team a name. The Sequence will send you to Frost Wind City and assign the relevant tasks."
Qian Wuzhou took the card back to his seat and asked his team members to press their fingerprints on it.
"We'll be called Victorious Group."
A cold metallic voice resounded from the card:
"The Victorious Group has been established and will soon be involved in the maintenance of order in Frost Wind City. Please approve."
"Approved." Teacher Ted stated.
Long metal pipes extended from the void and quickly found Qian Wuzhou, Zhao Heng, and the rest of the nine youths and attached themselves to their backs.
In an instant, gray boxes appeared around the nine youths.
Only then did everyone remember one thing.
After coming to Evernight, everyone had become a card.
The cold metallic voice rang again.
"Dispatching trainee combat team: Victorious."
"Target: Frost Wind City."
"Waiting for everyone to be ready."
The youths exchanged glances.
— — -Just like that, they've turned into cards and are being dispatched by the Sequence?
Mr. Ted stood on the podium and loudly declared: "Alright, hurry up, next team!"
Everyone hesitated for a bit before someone stepped forward to receive a card and prepared to leave.
The teams left the classroom one after another.
Liu Ping also went to receive a card and pressed his finger together with Libertas and Hua Qingkong.
"What's our team name?" Liu Ping asked the two of them.
"Invincible." Libertas raised his thumb.
He began to put on his leather armor and hung his dagger and shortsword at his waist.
Liu Ping ignored him and looked at Hua Qingkong.
"Invincible already? No, let's be humble, I actually hope that my teammates can all become handsome heroes in the future. Let's call them Handsome. "Hua Qingkong said.
"I personally think that the name needs to be cool ..." Liu Ping said.
As he spoke, he unsheathed the Frost Bird and took out his shield.
"Then you can decide. You asked for my opinion, but you didn't accept it, hmph!" Hua Qingkong pouted.
"Why didn't I accept it? I asked you because I'm already prepared to accept it. "
Liu Ping raised his card and said:
"Our team name is: Invincible, Handsome, and Cool."
A cold metallic voice sounded:
"The team name is: Invincible, Handsome, and Cool has been established and will be involved in the maintenance of order in Frost Wind City. Please approve."
Ted looked at the three of them with a helpless expression.
"Which one of you came up with this name?" he asked.
"You don't have to praise us. In fact, all three of us contributed our intelligence," Liu Ping said modestly.
The veins on Mr. Ted's forehead twitched. He waved his hand weakly. "Everyone is here. Send them to carry out the mission."
Three metal pipes descended and connected Liu Ping, Libertas, and Hua Qingkong behind them, just like the others.
The emotionless metallic voice sounded again:
"The trainee combat teams are as follows:"
"Victorious"
"Wild Rose"
"Radiance"
"Beast"
"Glory"
"Invincible, Handsome, and Cool."
"All six combat teams Ready."
"Target: Frost Wind City."
"Depart!"
"Arrive at destination in 10 seconds!"
Instantly, everyone turned into Cards that were pulled away by the metal pipes and disappeared into the void of space.
...
Intense wind.
The wind continued to howl as the scenery around them quickly receded.
But Liu Ping couldn't feel it at all.
At this point, he was holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, standing in the middle of the grey Card, silently waiting to be sent to Frost Wind City.
All the youngsters were the same.
— — -As expected, this is a mechanical control Card, everything has been programmed.
10 seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
Liu Ping could feel himself landing on solid ground.
All of a sudden, a line of burning text appeared in front of his eyes:
[Large-scale sealing barrier has been activated.]
[Space is in chaos.]
[Destination has become random.]
[The current space does not allow high-level Cards to enter. Duration: 1 hour.]
[This barrier is filled with the power of evil.]
— — What does that mean?
Liu Ping was surprised and called out: "Wh— —"
He suddenly felt that something wasn't right and hurriedly shut his mouth.
He was standing alone on the roof of a house, surrounded by boiling flames and black smoke that soared into the sky.
The entire city had fallen into a sea of flames.
Collapsed buildings, screaming people, and flying spells could be seen everywhere.
Before Liu Ping could say anything, the metal pipe once again appeared from the void of space and spoke with a cold metallic voice:
"The evil creatures have ambushed Frost Wind City"
"Your Quest has been changed"
"Now issuing an emergency Quest:"
"Find your companions and form a line of defense to resist the evil creatures with all your might. Stop them from destroying the city and buy time for reinforcements to arrive"
After saying so, the metal pipe vanished.
Liu Ping quickly jumped down from the roof and found a secluded corner to hide.
He carefully observed his surroundings — — -
But he couldn't see any of his classmates. The streets were filled with human corpses.
We were fooled!
The evil creature that appeared on the roof of the female dormitory last night was only bait.
Humanity had mobilized the city's defensive forces to search for the evil creatures.
In fact, they did manage to capture a few evil creatures.
But the evil creatures had been waiting for this moment, wanting to take advantage of the fact that the city's defenses were weak to destroy this city in one fell swoop!
Comparing the two sides, the evil creatures had the upper hand.
Liu Ping sighed, wielded the Frost Bird tightly, and walked along the street.
A few people suddenly appeared from the corner of the street.
As soon as they saw Liu Ping's attire, they shouted: "Save me! Save me! "
These few people dashed towards Liu Ping.
"Hurry, hide behind me, what's the situation in front?" Liu Ping loudly asked.
"Evil creatures! the evil creatures are eating people! "a young woman screamed.
"Is that so? Hurry and run! "Liu Ping replied.
He held his spear tightly and ran past the young woman — — -
A frigid mist instantly erupted, locking the young woman and the man next to her in place.
A blurred shadow flashed.

The young woman and the man's heads were instantly pierced through, spitting out a black mist of blood.
Liu Ping blocked a few more attacks with his shield, then used the momentum to retreat to the other side of the street.
"Bastard, how did you know it was an ambush?"
One of the men spoke with a grim expression.
Scales slowly appeared on his body, his pupils also turned vertical, and a pair of horns grew on his head.
Liu Ping didn't answer and only raised his shield, carefully assuming a defensive stance.
There were still five of them.
— — -Five evil creatures.
Above their heads, the same line of small words appeared:
[Mixed-blood evil creature]
A black shadow suddenly descended from the sky.
This was a 3-meter-tall monster, it looked like a wolf, but under the thick beast-like fur, there was a snake-like head.
The monster observed Liu Ping and said:
" A human city guard? No, he looks more like a trainee, haha, well done finding him, kill him together! "
The monster led the group of evil creatures towards Liu Ping.
Liu Ping's pupils dilated, but he wasn't in a hurry to escape and instead spoke:
"YO!"
In an instant, lines of burning words quickly appeared:
[You've activated the First Dragon Hex]
[You've designated all evil creatures that have heard the Dragon Hex to have their limbs and muscles softened]
[This is the moment for the dragon race to display their might!]
Dong dong dong dong dong dong dong — —
The evil creatures that were rushing towards them all fell to the ground, struggled for their lives, but couldn't get back up no matter what.
"Sir, what happened!?" one of the evil creatures asked in fear.
The snake-like monster trembled and shouted with a face full of despair: "You've provoked the wrong person, this is — — this is — —"
"This is [Dragon's Hex]!"
A cold gleam of light flashed.
A sharp spear pierced through its head, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
