Chapter 63 Demon Card: Bewitchment
Daville Village, 2,000 meters underground.
Soldiers wearing exquisite armor surrounded a woman in her early thirties, waiting in this underground world.
In front of them, within a translucent Light Screen, an Inverted Cross-shaped building stood.
The woman held a semi-cylindrical key and forcefully jammed it into the stone Platform in front of the Light Screen. Her footsteps were unsteady; she looked like she had been standing for a long time.
“Your Highness, shouldn’t you take a rest and let us take over? It’s been almost a day, if this keeps going your body—”
A soldier stepped forward to curry favor.
“Get lost!”
The woman viciously kicked the soldier away.
“The things here are mine! None of you plebeians can even think of touching them!”
Her words made the others exchange glances. They helped up the soldier who had been kicked aside and was vomiting blood, retreating to the side without another word.
Feeling the oppressive aura around her, the woman sneered disdainfully, staring with burning eyes at the Inverted Cross Altar inside the Light Screen.
“Soon, soon!”
In the darkness, no one noticed.
A box-shaped robot with its head retracted was secretly hiding on the side, observing everything.
Wall-E secretly circled around, stopped on the other side of the Light Screen, and poked it with its mechanical arm. It felt soft…
Thus, Wall-E crashed directly into it.
“Bang—”
Clutching its iron head, the little robot revealed a hurt look in its eyes.
It was very certain that it couldn’t get in here.
It had to go back and tell its master.
It would let its master come personally to obtain the most precious thing it had discovered in this Platform.
————
“Wall-E? Back so soon.”
“Didn’t get anything? It’s fine. I’m not some ruthless boss; if you can’t get it, you can’t get it, you’ll still get your charge.”
“Huh? You drew a map? Meaning there are treasures down below?”
Being led by Wall-E to the underground entrance.
Ye Qiyan took out a pure purification stone to use as a lighting tool and followed Wall-E inside.
“Is the location this way?”
After about half an hour, passing through a deep and gloomy path, the scenery before them suddenly opened up.
Emerald-green crystals were embedded everywhere.
The soft light they emitted brought brightness to this huge underground world.
They continued moving forward.
Until Ye Qiyan heard voices coming from not far away.
“Are you okay? Her Highness’s kick wasn’t light.”
“My ribs are probably broken…”
“You asked for it, insisting on stepping up to court death. She’s the one who looks down the most on soldiers who rose from commoners.”
“…I just wanted to climb up, I didn’t want to just be a guard…”
“Even so, not right now. Once the princess takes the things in that Ruin, we’ll figure out a way to—”
“Are we really going to make a move?”
“Otherwise what? After that woman takes the things in the Ruin, how could she tolerate us knowing? She will definitely silence us.”
The conversation gradually faded away.
Walking for another dozen minutes or so, Ye Qiyan saw the Ruin mentioned by the two guards.
Observing the thirty-something princess who looked like an auntie, Ye Qiyan’s fantasy of princesses in fairy tales completely shattered in his heart.
“So ugly…”
He didn’t go out directly. Instead, just like Wall-E earlier, he circled around and came to the other side of the Light Screen.
Reaching out to touch it, the soft texture made it hard to feel like there was anything difficult to break about it.
“How should I get in?”
Ye Qiyan fell into thought.
How about waiting until that princess opens it, then directly shooting and killing to snatch it?
This was indeed a method. If there was no better way, it was worth a try.
“Wait, I have an idea.”
Ye Qiyan suddenly thought of a good idea.
“the anchor.”
A dark golden blasphemy card appeared between his two fingers.
“Drop Anchor.”
Mental Power consumed.
An Anchor Point marker appeared inside the Light Screen.
Then.
“Voyage”
A sense of immersion washed over him.
The sounds at his ears came and went instantly.
Opening his eyes again, he had already appeared inside the Ruin.
“It succeeded, it actually worked.”
Ye Qiyan toyed with the blasphemy card in his hand with a smile on his face.
Using the Anchor Point and teleportation ability, it was completely possible to cross any barriers and the like. The blasphemy card, its ability really seemed stronger the more one looked at it.
“If the blasphemy card undergoes Sublimation once more…”
Ye Qiyan gazed for a moment and shook his head.
“No, it’s the same feeling as when I couldn’t sublimate items above Level 4 before. My current ability is still not strong enough.”
“Forget it, I should first see what on earth is on top of the Ruin.”
Putting away the card, Ye Qiyan walked toward the bottom of the huge Inverted Cross Altar building ahead.
“So tall.”
Looking up, this building was about ten stories high.
Stepping onto the stairs, he climbed continuously.
Until he reached the spacious pure white Platform at the very top.
There existed only another Inverted Cross Platform taller than a person.
Walking up to it, this huge Altar existed solely for the sake of the single thing on this Platform.
“This is?”
A light purple card floated here.
On the card, the image of a demon holding a scythe with its face obscured by a hood was lifelike.
“Why does it feel a bit like the blasphemy card? No way, right?”
Ye Qiyan swallowed his saliva and reached out to grab it.
The moment he grasped this card, he felt countless whispers full of Bewitchment echoing in his ears.
But this feeling vanished in an instant.
Ye Qiyan shook his head and patted his own forehead.
“That just now was? An illusion?”
Bringing up personal information.
Aside from the Mental Power consumed earlier for placing the Anchor Point and teleporting, his Mental Power dropped by about half once again.
“This card…”
“Appraise.”
Bringing up the Train System, he appraised the card in his hand.
[Demon Card: Bewitchment]
[Bewitchment: Consume Mental Power, the lies you speak will make people believe them.]
[Demon: Consume Stamina, the things you do will cause people to feel fear.]
“Such a strong ability, and moreover, there is no level… This thing, could it be of the same category as the blasphemy card?”
“No, this should not be as powerful as the blasphemy card.”
“My luck is quite good; there is actually an extra harvest at this station.”
Ye Qiyan’s mood was quite good.
He glanced at the 30-something ugly princess below who was still striving to open the Light Screen with what should be a key.
“Working so hard, wouldn’t it be quite pitiful if she finds out the item is gone after coming in?”
With a casual toss, he pulled out a Level 3 bullet and placed it on the Altar.
“A Level 3 bullet, that’s alright too.”
He didn’t leave immediately.
In fact, he couldn’t leave immediately either.
The Anchor Point teleportation required an hour to recover.
Taking advantage of this time, Ye Qiyan went back down to let Wall-E return first.
Time passed quickly.
“the anchor”
“Voyage”
Another immersion.
Another whisper.
Only this time, after opening his eyes, Ye Qiyan had already returned to his Train.
