Chapter 196: sword of carved tears, Manifesting the Battlefield
The Hunting Mechadragon in Transcendent Mode and the bizarre, fused, giant octopus began to fight.
The two of them fought an intensely fierce and evenly matched battle.
Clearly, the power of this giant fused monster far exceeded that of the War weapon on the fourth floor.
“Level Zhu Xingtu Though that is not exactly surprising.”
Since that old hag could say something like the first Level 13 item appeared sixty-six years ago,
clearly, she had existed in this Train world for a very long time. Ye Qiyan would instead find it hard to believe if she did not have a single Level 13 item in her hands, or perhaps even more.
This monster should be one of them.
“Hey! Brother Ye, we have to go, this place is going to collapse!”
Zhu Xingtu flew over riding a broom. Her body was enveloped in a layer of dark color; ominousness, Bad Luck, and even more curses manifested upon her.
“Stop! You had better not crowd over.”
Ye Qiyan took two steps back in disgust.
Originally, just with Bad Luck on her, Ye Qiyan was already extremely reluctant to interact with this fellow; now, what was on her was far more than just Bad Luck.
“Hehe, call your powerful dragon back. We really have to go; if we don’t leave now, this place will collapse.”
Zhu Xingtu didn’t care at all about Ye Qiyan’s disgust. Stopping her flight with a smiling expression, she looked to be in a very good mood.
“That person?”
“Of course he was defeated by me! But the final attack deflected a little and missed, letting him run away.”
“The only pity is that I couldn’t snatch his curse card. How hateful, it was clearly just a bit away; if I had been just slightly less unlucky, I would have already gotten it.”
No particular regret could be seen on her face, and Ye Qiyan didn’t believe this woman’s nonsense at all.
Didn’t get it? Or did she get it and just didn’t want to say?
Monroe Gina’s words were still vivid in his mind.
[ “The purpose of all Zhu Xingtu’s actions is for the card sequence. Either obtain the card sequence, or make the person holding the card sequence join the organization.” ]
The latter could no longer be done; that curse-user probably hated the Emperor Sequence Organization to the bone.
As for the former…
He silently caught a glimpse of the aura of Bad Luck permeating around Zhu Xingtu.
Unable to help it, he chuckled slightly.
“Heh.”
It was indeed time to leave.
However, leaving just like this was still a bit too regrettable.
Ye Qiyan’s gaze fell upon the few remaining fragments of the black stone tablets left behind after being destroyed by the black hole.
And that monster.
“To be able to fight to this extent with the Hunting Mechadragon in Transcendent Mode, then…”
He thought silently in his heart.
Zhu Xingtu had already opened the door with that golden key.
“It can still last for three minutes ~ Hm… Fine, I’ll leave first then.”
She crossed through the gateway.
In the gloomy world, two giant beasts brawled with each other.
Then, if an external force of the same level intervened…
“Red Tears.”
The Demon Maiden arrived quietly.
“Draw your sword.”
The sword of carved tears was slowly drawn out.
Normally, the greatest function of this sword was to release sword qi to continuously slash and kill.
As a permanent Level 13 item, what it could do was naturally more than just that.
The rain fell even heavier.
There should not have been rain in this space.
[ sword of carved tears ]
[ Remanifest all attacks from the Ancient Battlefield ]
Thunder rumbled heavily.
Ye Qiyan looked at his Mental Power status column.
“There are still 22 points left, but it doesn’t matter.”
Pop——
Pulling out the cork.
The Mental Power recovery potion was poured into his mouth.
“How hard to drink… I thought it would be sweet…”
One bottle, two bottles, three bottles——
Until the moment his Mental Power was restored to 102 points.
The Red Tear Demon walked over silently, taking Ye Qiyan’s palm with her non-sword-holding hand.
She stood in front of him, raising her head, the gaze hidden beneath the brim of her hat growing slightly bright.
Within her crimson eyes, a teardrop slid down her cheek.
But, she was, smiling?
“Red Tears?”
There was no response.
She was still that Demon Maiden like a marionette.
But yet it felt as if something more had been added.
Mental Power was being consumed.
The battlefield was manifesting.
The gloomy world was replaced by an even gloomier world.
Ancient Battlefield——
Countless powerful entities whose faces could not be seen flashed past.
Among them were Train Captains, monsters, and all sorts of things.
Flicker, choose!
Figure after figure swept past before Red Tears.
She gently extended the sword of carved tears, its tip pointing forward.
A faceless figure was sucked into the sword of carved tears.
The sky was weeping.
The earth was bleeding.
Solomon City likewise began to rain this red downpour.
People felt sorrow and pain.
People felt the terror called War.
The combatants stopped each other.
Those engaged in slaughter also laid down their weapons.
The maiden’s weeping echoed in everyone’s ears.
“Ah~”
Battlefield manifested.
The Red Tear Demon clasped her sword-holding hand together with Ye Qiyan’s.
She wanted her master to swing together with her.
“Do you want to do it together?”
“Fine, then…”
“Let’s give it a try.”
Raising the sword.
Swinging——
Hum——
An invisible ripple hummed as it swept across the fused giant monster.
Immediately following…
“Roar!!!”
The monster’s body turned into two pieces, four pieces, eight pieces! Even more!
Slash!
Dimensional slash!
Clearly it was only a single sword strike, yet it turned the monster into neat little blocks of tofu.
“This strike… did it actually consume extra Stamina?”
Ye Qiyan’s body was somewhat fatigued.
But his Mental Power remained bright.
The Demon Raven was summoned out, flying to the front, and picked up an eyeball-shaped item from among the slain monster.
Along with the fragments left behind by the stone tablet, it brought them all back into its master’s hands.
“Hoo…”
“Now, this should be considered done, right?”
Zhu Xingtu’s “Open Sesame” was right beside them.
Passing into it.
This Charlatan did not leave.
She sat silently upon the broom, waiting quietly.
Her hands were clasped together.
A river of stars flowed within her eyes.
“Mhm~ Brother Ye, you’ve come out, heehee.”
“Has anyone ever told you something?”
“Hm? What thing?”
“If you were mute, your popularity would probably be quite good.”
After leaving behind these words, Ye Qiyan rode the Hunting Mechadragon and headed toward the third floor.
It was almost time.
Today always felt exceptionally long.
The things done in this Solomon City—
if written into a story and shown to those Train Captains of his same batch,
probably no one would believe it.
Zhu Xingtu stayed in place.
She seemed to be seriously pondering what Ye Qiyan had just said.
After a long while, she gently clapped her hands.
“If one cannot speak of fate~ how can one witness such an interesting thing as others reversing their fate~”
Third floor.
The battle between Zhao Xi and Grace was nearing its end.
This short Grand Judge’s combat power was naturally formidable.
But Grace knew her weakness very well.
In this wilderness world, she was a serious and good person.
A good person would not hurt others.
And her powerful attacks would definitely cause many innocent people to die.
Grace had intentionally chosen this third floor as the battlefield.
Tap—— tap—— tap——
Leaning on her staff, Grace created transparent platforms in the air and headed straight toward the panting Zhao Xi.
“Xiao Xi… You have lost.”
