Purgatory Artist-Chapter 208: Meeting the Prisoner

The bishop asked without looking up.

A man in an aviation uniform answered:

"The glass in the toilet broke, don't worry, we have emergency measures in place and are currently repairing it"

The bishop continued to look at the map in his hand, then gestured to the two believers next to him.

The two of them stood up and went to the toilet to take a closer look.

Sure enough, the broken glass was scattered all over the ground, while the strong wind was blocked by an emergency air barrier.

A staff member was quickly repairing the glass even faster.

"Why did the glass shatter out of nowhere?" one of the believers asked.

"There are many reasons, such as airflow, temperature changes, running into birds, or something else. Don't worry, it'll be done soon" one of the staff members replied.

The two believers exchanged glances and nodded.

As if recalling something, they nodded to the other person standing next to them.

"There's no problem"

That person also replied.

And so they came out of the toilet.

The three believers returned to the bishop's side and spoke in a low voice: "Normal glass shattering, we've completed the remedial measures, nothing out of the ordinary"

The bishop put the map down, stood up and looked around.

All the believers were praying with their eyes closed.

Everything was normal.

The bishop nodded in satisfaction, sat down again and asked: "Has the arrangements for Santov city been completed?"

One of the three followers opened his mouth and said,

"Everything has been arranged, as soon as we arrive, someone will come to receive us."

The second person spoke: "We'll take the fastest vehicle and cross the border in 10 minutes, after that, we'll follow your orders."

The third person said: "They're right."

The bishop said: "Very well, I'm not very familiar with geography, while there's still time, let's study the map again and see what kind of location is best to choose."

"You're right." the two believers said at the same time.

The two of them sat down together with the bishop.

They seemed to have forgotten about the third person, and the third person was nowhere to be found.

The bishop reached out his hand and suddenly realized that the map next to his seat had disappeared. He was shocked.

"On the ground."

"Oh, it fell down."

The bishop picked up the map.

Nothing had changed on this map. Even some of the markings were drawn by the bishop himself.

The bishop began to discuss the location of the building with the two men.

At the same time.

Outside the airship.

A little girl who was leaning against the outer wall of the airship listened in silence for a moment before saying softly, "Yes."

She shook her body and flew up into the sky from the outer wall of the airship. She turned into a stream of light and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

... ...

The airship arrived at the airport.

Under the lead of the bishop, all the believers quickly disembarked from the airship.

"We don't have much time!"

The bishop shouted.

The person in charge of receiving them said, "Don't worry, it will only take about ten minutes to reach the border!"

The bishop nodded and led the crowd into a long row of vehicles that had been waiting by the side, leaving behind a trail of dust.

Seven or eight minutes later.

The convoy arrived at a barren road.

"Stop!"

The bishop ordered.

All the cars slowly came to a stop.

He jumped down from the carriage and looked at the map in his hand as he walked in front of the signboard.

A large line of text was written on the signboard:

|Danger!|

|You are about to cross the border.|

|Ahead of you is the wasteland where the evil creatures roam, do not approach.|

The bishop looked at the map, then around.

That's right.

The map matched the signboard perfectly.

This is the place.

This is the border!

A look of joy appeared on the bishop's face as he said loudly:

"Well done, everyone, we're here earlier than expected!"

The believers shouted in unison:

"Praise the Nine-winged Fallen Heavenly Lord!"

The bishop loudly declared: "Even so, we still can't be careless. Follow me, we've already chosen the location, it's an empty field 300 meters ahead of us!"

Everyone quickly moved forward and quickly crossed the border. In just a few minutes, they arrived at the empty field.

This was no longer the Empire's territory.

"7 minutes left, we won't make it on time, we'll begin immediately!" the bishop declared.

The believers quickly took out metal pieces that were already carved with runes.

They pieced these metal pieces together to form a circular summoning circle, then carefully placed it on the ground.

Another three minutes passed.

There were only four minutes left.

The bishop became anxious and shouted: "Begin reverse summoning our Lord, we need to summon him here, now!"

Everyone stood outside the Runic formation and began to chant the incantation quickly.

Very quickly, the summoning circle began to give off a faint glow.

Two minutes left.

We made it!

A few hundred thousand miles away, at the top of a barren mountain.

The Emperor coldly stared at an old man and a woman in front of him.

"You've kept me here, but do you have a way to escape from this place's space-time stagnation?" he asked.

"We can leave at any time." the old man smiled.

"Very well, it seems I won't be able to escape. I'll remember this, I'll definitely get my revenge sooner or later." the Emperor declared.

"You're about to be trapped here, yet you're still so arrogant?" one of the women laughed.

The Emperor smirked and replied: "That might not be the case."

At the very next moment.

A ring of light abruptly appeared from his body.

The old man was surprised and exclaimed: "Oh no, he's using a soul sacrifice technique!"

"Damn it!" the woman regretted.

"You two, I'll devour you sooner or later, but I'm going to leave now." the Emperor mocked them.

The woman gritted her teeth, as if making a decision.

The ring of light quickly changed and opened up the void of space.

Suddenly, the void of space closed up again.

The ring of light continued to surround the Emperor.

But he didn't teleport away.

One final minute.

The Emperor stood still with a confused expression.

An eerie silence.

The woman suddenly laughed:

"Ahahaha! Seems like there's a problem with your arrangements! "

"There's no time, let's go." the old man urged them.

"Seems like it can't escape from this country, so I won't have to waste too much power to stop it ... I've finally avenged the Tree Elf!" the woman declared.

They turned into two streaks of light and disappeared without a trace.

The Emperor stood still.

He slowly looked around at the void of space.

A gust of wind blew past. Dried leaves fluttered in the air.

Gradually, the leaves began to freeze in the air.

The Empire's space-time stagnation had begun!

The Emperor remained expressionless and muttered: "Too naive ... but that's fine, you won't bother me anymore ..."

He chanted an incantation.

In an instant, the ring of light began to spin again.

Spatial fluctuations appeared again.

The void of space spread opened like a cloth being ripped apart.

The Emperor flashed and disappeared into the void of space.

It was still this minute.

Outside Santov.

On the empty ground.

Liu Ping's hands continued to shine.

"You're too ruthless." he said plainly.

"I'm just a little nervous." Andrea shrugged.

"I'm praising you." Liu Ping said.

"Ah? Oh! "

Andrea was happy.

Opposite the two of them, on the empty ground a few hundred meters away.

Including the Bishop, everyone fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

Without the control of the believers, the runic circle had gradually dimmed.

Andrea sighed:

"So it's a special soul-related reverse summoning circle, no wonder it's so secretive, there's no fluctuation at all."

"It shouldn't be able to come over now." Liu Ping said.

Suddenly.

The runic circle emitted a strong light again.

Andrea grabbed Liu Ping's arm, "It's forcefully sacrificing the souls of all the believers, it's coming over!"

As soon as she said that.

The void of space opened up. Within the ring of light, the Emperor's figure gradually appeared.

The Emperor saw Liu Ping at a glance.

"A Level 7 Knight? You're the one who ruined my summoning ritual? "the Emperor asked.

Liu Ping smiled and said: "It's me, originally I was going to kill all your believers, but on second thought, it's better to let you kill your subordinates personally."

"Level 7 ... your soul." the Emperor revealed a ferocious expression.

His figure gradually solidified.

The teleportation ended!

Heaven and earth shook.

Time was up.

Invisible ripples rushed over from afar, completely covering the teleportation circle.

It wasn't just the teleportation circle.

Everything in the surroundings fell into a state of complete stagnation.

Frost quietly appeared from the ground and began to freeze everything, causing everything in the world to fall into a deep slumber of time.

The Emperor moved with all his might, but he couldn't move his body.

He said in a low voice:

"Impossible ... They're clearly outside the Empire ... Summoning me ..."

Andrea stuck out her tongue and said, "Sorry, I moved the border sign in the direction of the Empire in advance."

Liu Ping threw a map on the ground, at the same time keeping the Rock of Nothingness.

"Sorry, there's a problem with your map, we're standing outside the border." Liu Ping said.

The Emperor didn't move, his body gradually covered with frost.

"Despicable, those idiots."

He said in a low voice.

"Since you left the backup to your believers, you'll have to bear their stupidity." Liu Ping said.

The Emperor opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

However, the frost spread very quickly and completely covered him.

Liu Ping looked deeply at the Emperor. "In the end, I decided to let you come here to prevent you from hiding in the future."

"With you here, I don't have to worry about you running away."

"In the future, I'll come and kill you personally."

"All the grudges, all the humiliation you've inflicted on humans for countless years, I'll take them one by one. Don't worry, you can't run away."

"The most important thing is that you can't run away."

"I've said my piece."

"Goodbye."

With that, he held Andrea's hand, turned around, and walked into the depths of the wilderness.

Behind him.

Thousands of feet of frost appeared out of thin air, completely sealing the entire human Empire within.

The Emperor

Or rather, the Prisoner.

It was frozen in the frost, its expression angry and confused.
