Purgatory Artist-Chapter 178: The Aftermath of Historical Events

York city was only a small city.

In the morning, its city lord ran away with his subordinates.

If that was the case, it was only a matter of time before they took it down.

The powerful evil creatures had set their sights on the large, well-defended cities with a large population of Professionists.

As for York city — — -

There were a total of 790 low-ranked and mid-ranked evil creatures responsible for attacking the city.

York city's fate had already been decided.

And it was indeed so. It was destroyed in a single day.

And then.

Things took a different turn.

A group of 30 Professionists suddenly appeared in front of the city gate.

30 of them.

Against 790 evil creatures.

They weren't very powerful.

But there was a decisive factor that caused the situation of the entire battle to take a turn for the worse — — -

The one who hid behind a ferocious demon beast with a righteous expression on his face, muttering 'even evil creatures need a chance to repent'.

— — -he was the Knight Commander of York city's garrison.

A holy glow would appear from his hand whenever an evil creature was injured.

Whether it was a human or an evil creature, as soon as they were injured, he wouldn't hesitate to perform a high-level healing technique that miraculously healed their wounds.

— — -He turned the group of 30 Professionists into a glowing meat grinder.

The entire group charged towards the city square.

Anyone who was injured would be healed in a few breaths' worth of time.

The Professionists only needed to worry about how to stab their weapons into the evil creatures' bodies.

— — -Many Professionists even gave up on using their skills and directly attacked the evil creatures that charged at them.

From the very beginning, neither the humans nor the evil creatures had expected this.

The evil creatures did manage to organize a few decent ambushes.

But right next to the Knight Commander, a demon cat several meters tall directly shattered all of their attacks.

It closely guarded the Knight Commander.

Only when it was certain that the situation was safe would this demon cat silently escape.

Not too long later, it returned to the Knight Commander's side and placed the evil creature it was holding in its mouth at the Knight Commander's feet.

The Knight Commander reached out his foot — —

Stepping on the dying evil creature's face, he observed it for a bit and muttered: "This one is about to die, change it."

"Meow!"

The demon cat picked up the evil creature and instantly ran away.

A few moments later.

It picked up another evil creature and threw it at the Knight Commander's feet.

This time, the Knight Commander was satisfied.

"Zhao Mingguang, bring me the shackles," he said.

A warrior ran up, and without waiting for further instructions from the head knight, he skillfully handcuffed the devil's hands and feet. Then, he carefully took out a rune collar and clasped it around the devil's neck.

"This is an anti-magic collar. If it dares to do anything, immediately ... Bang!"

The warrior spoke as if he was proud of his achievement. Then, he looked at the knight with anticipation.

"Well done!"

The knight patted his shoulder, then silently spoke to the void of space: [Give him a hint]

[The York City Garrison Knight Commander's favorability towards you has increased.]

A line of burning text appeared from the void of space:

[The corresponding notification has been given.]

Sure enough, the warrior looked at the void in front of him.

He stared intently at the void of space, and soon, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Commander, I still have a lot here. How about we put a collar on these captured devils?"

"Alright," the Knight Commander replied.

Hence, the warrior crouched and put collars on the captured devils.

"Tell him that the Knight Commander's favorability has increased again."

Liu Ping quietly spoke to the void of space.

The warrior's expression became even more joyful. He swiftly tied up all the creatures, stood up, and asked curiously:

"What's the use of capturing them? Why don't we just kill them? "

"My scouts told me that the devils have completed a long-distance summoning at the plaza in the middle of the city. Soon, a powerful entity will arrive here." the Knight Commander replied.

This was the most important thing in the entire battle.

Because these devils were still hoping for reinforcements, they were unwilling to submit.

Yana's ability could not be extracted by him at all.

"I understand. You want to use these captives to negotiate!" the warrior suddenly realized.

"Stop talking nonsense. Quickly go and command the battle!" the Knight Commander ordered.

"Yes!" The warrior hurriedly left.

The Knight Commander held onto the chains in his hand, dragging 7-8 devils and continued forward.

...

30 minutes later.

Liu Ping stood in the plaza of York City, his body constantly emitting light.

"Congratulations, you've completed your mission."

He smiled and said.

The Professionists were lying on the ground, panting heavily. They were so tired that they wanted to die.

Even though they wouldn't get hurt — —

But with over 700 devils, each of them had to kill around 20 devils on average. Even if they were slaughtering pigs, they were already at their limits.

"Sir Knight Commander, gem ... gem." Zhao Mingguang breathed heavily.

"It's like this — —" Liu Ping cleared his throat and spoke: "The mine is right outside the city. Due to your excellent performance, I'll give you half a day's time. Whatever gems you can dig up will belong to you."

He added: "Zhao Mingguang can dig for another half an hour."

The Professionists cheered.

As for Zhao Mingguang — —

He showed an expression of 'everything he's put in finally paid off'.

Liu Ping also smiled and nodded.

The mine's reserves had already been dug up.

But he believed that with the Professionists' abilities, if they dug 3 feet into the ground, finding 30, or even 40 to 50 gems was still very possible.

— — -The Professionists liked this kind of open-ended reward.

This way, the original 60 gems would be saved.

He was also very happy.

Everyone was happy.

Other than that, through this battle, Andrea's awakening rate had reached 70%.

The amount of Soul Points gained from killing over 700 devils was still quite considerable.

Everything was progressing in a good direction.

"Sir Knight Commander, the evil ritual here seems to have been completed. That powerful devil will most likely arrive soon, do you really not need us to continue working for you?" Zhao Mingguang tried asking.

"No need, your mission has been completed, quickly go get to mining," Liu Ping replied.

Everyone exchanged glances, seemingly wanting to test him a bit more.

Liu Ping looked towards the center of the square, only to see the eerie runes there lighting up one after another.

The ritual had been completed!

"Give them a hint: The follow-up mission requires them to reach level 30 before they can join, otherwise, staying here will mean certain death" Liu Ping said.

[Noted] the Sequence replied.

At the very next moment.

The Professionists all jumped up and ran away like the wind.

Their speed was so fast that they disappeared without a trace in just a few breaths' worth of time.

Zhao Mingguang's voice resounded from afar:

"Sir, after we become stronger, we'll meet you again!"

Liu Ping shook his head.

These guys' backgrounds are so mysterious that even the Sequence refused to tell them — — -

Alright.

What happens next isn't something they can participate in.

He looked at the void of space.

Lines of burning text quickly appeared there:

[History cannot be changed]

[In the river of time, on the 10th day of the 12th month of the 37th year of the Ceylon calendar, York City was destroyed]

[At this point in time, this historical event has been determined to have occurred]

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

[The only thing you can do is to add a new historical event after the historical event of York City's destruction]

[Begin!]

In the square, an eerie voice resounded:

"Who is it? In a destroyed human city, they issued a meaningless challenge to us? "

The void of space shifted.

A demonic man in a black trench coat landed gently on the ground.

He was holding a skull in one hand, a carving knife in the other, as if he was carving something.

Liu Ping spoke: "I have a business deal to discuss with you."

"What kind of business?" the man asked.

"This city has already been destroyed by you, so leave now and we'll be fine," Liu Ping replied.

Below his feet, the bound evil creatures all screamed for help.

The demonic man glanced at them and casually spoke: "I was summoned here, if I don't kill you, I won't be able to explain myself."

Liu Ping spoke: "Are you sure you want to fight? I'm already very tired now, I don't want to cause any more trouble. How about I give you a fortune, what do you think? "

The demonic man's expression changed, then laughed: "Oh? What fortune — — "

Before he could finish his sentence, a huge shadow rushed up and knocked him into the sky.

Zhao Chanyi!

She turned into her human form, drew a shiny blade from the void of space and slashed continuously.

— — [Void Slash]!

Numerous slashing sounds could be heard from the demonic man's body.

"Ahhhhh! Bastard! "

The demonic man let out a cry full of pain, and his body suddenly became pitch-black and increased in size.

He turned into a humanoid monster with a horn on his head, continuously dodging in the sky, finally landing far away on the other side of the square.

"Damned knight, you're going to pay the price for your recklessness!"

The monster gritted his teeth as he spoke. Suddenly, he noticed that on the fine cuts on his body, there were traces of gentle light.

These lights had the ability to heal, in an instant, all the wounds were healed.

The monster was stunned.

Sneak attack me — —

Then heal me — — -

He turned to the knight.

The knight was currently talking to the demonic being who had turned into a woman.

"... You were too hasty ..."

"The third form is a bit stronger than the second form..."

"... When you slash, make sure you don't leave any openings, there were two openings just now ..."

As the knight spoke, the woman next to him nodded, occasionally asking a question or two.

What are they doing?

The evil creature was extremely surprised.

At this point, they finished talking. The knight turned around with a compassionate and righteous expression, solemnly telling him: "Oh fiend, you've gone too far down the wrong path. It seems I have no choice but to let you know today that there is another possibility for your life, one that is more positive, more efficient, and healthier than your current life."

The evil creature tilted its head.

— — -So you're a lunatic.

But that kind of battle just now had already offended my dignity.

I'll kill you.

I'll quickly deal with everything here and return.

The evil creature silently thought, then saw the knight's hands exuding a gentle and holy glow.

The knight loudly declared:

"Come, let us see, will it be justice that triumphs over evil, or will evil fall at the feet of justice?"

Self-righteous!

The evil creature smirked and was about to jump forward.

At this moment, it suddenly noticed something.

At the knight's feet, the dying evil creatures seemed to have seen something incredible, so they all screamed and screamed in despair.
