Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Chapter 789: Tenth Trial - Evil Beast Slave Mogruth

[Platform 10] Arena.

This was the location of Ye Qiyan's next trial.

The simulated battlefield was a scattered archipelago amidst a vast expanse of water.

The space was enormous.

Through compressed space, it exceeded the size of all previous arenas.

Spectators had entered early.

Ye Qiyan's trials were far more thrilling and spectacular to watch than anyone else's.

Cheers. Shouts.

As time passed, the moment for the trial to begin drew near.

Ye Qiyan.

He stood in the corridor where contestants made their entrance.

Lisette followed by his side.

Because his opponent was rather special, he hadn't yet decided who to send into battle.

[Name: Mogruth]

[Race: Evil Seed]

[Title: Evil Beast Slave]

Ye Qiyan stared thoughtfully at this information displayed on the Nether system's light screen.

Beside him, Emilie looked noticeably nervous, a stark contrast to her usual state of being completely absorbed in games back in the hotel room.

"Boss, you must be careful. While you were away these past few days, I actually went and asked around with other guides who've spent a long time in the Lunar Heart Level arenas.

I didn't get any concrete information, but it seems these Evil Seeds all have some kind of specific weakness."

"Weakness?"

"Right, I don't know the details, but..."

ROOOAR!

A thunderous roar cut off Emilie's words.

They turned to look.

There, in the corridor on the opposite end of the arena.

A massive black lizard standing upright, its entire body wrapped in runic chains, strode step by step into the arena's open space.

Its blood-red eyes locked onto Ye Qiyan with a bloodthirsty gaze, its long, slender tongue licking over rows of jagged black teeth caked with filth.

Ominous black energy rose from the scales on its back.

It opened its massive maw and spoke in awkward, halting human language.

"Li...fe... eat!"

It wanted to devour Ye Qiyan.

And its words seemed to carry some bizarre, sinister magic, causing everyone in the arena to instinctively fall silent, too afraid to cheer.

Even the host included.

Over a hundred thousand living beings packed into the massive arena all fell silent at once.

This stillness seemed to greatly please the giant lizard named Mogruth.

It wasn't until quite some time had passed that the host wiped the cold sweat from his brow and spoke in a voice tinged with trembling:

"W-welcome, contestant Mogruth, we can see..."

Inside the corridor.

Ye Qiyan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Interesting. A power that instills fear?"

[Ye Qiyan]

[Nullified Status: Fearful Evil Heart (destabilizes the mind, increases the chance of entering a fear state)]

While this ability had no effect on him, it was a different story for most others.

Take Emilie, for example.

"B-boss..."

Emilie's voice was trembling.

Her reaction was even more intense than everyone else's.

She crouched down, clutching her head, her entire body shaking violently.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Within her chaotic memories, countless blurry images flickered rapidly, and these images filled her with absolute terror, her mind slowly crumbling under the influence.

"Don't be afraid."

A calm, steady voice reached Emilie's ears.

Ye Qiyan walked past her, reaching out to pat the guide girl's head.

"It's just a monster."

"Boss, it... they... they're terrifying..."

"Terrifying?"

Ye Qiyan walked to the end of the corridor and stopped.

He turned back and offered Emilie a smile.

"The one who should be afraid is it."

He stepped out of the corridor, and the crowd that had just been frozen in fear immediately erupted into cheers.

Hope!

Ye Qiyan was the embodiment of hope for all of them!

Hope had arrived! As long as Ye Qiyan didn't fail, the people watching this trial wouldn't be defeated by fear either!

Emilie's hand clutched tightly at her chest as she watched Ye Qiyan's retreating figure. Somehow, the fear in her heart began to slowly recede as well.

"Boss..."

Perhaps... it was because her hope was placed on Ye Qiyan as well.

"Go get them, Boss. You absolutely, absolutely have to win!"

Entering the compressed space of the arena.

Ye Qiyan and Mogruth stood far apart.

But both could clearly hear each other.

"Hu...man, life, hehe, delicious! I'll eat you!"

The countdown began.

[10...9......2...1..0!]

The instant the host declared the trial had begun.

A surge of malevolent energy erupted from beneath Mogruth's scales, flooding the entire arena and transforming into its domain.

[Status: Evil Parasitism]

[Cursed Demon Eye counter-measure activated.]

[Negative status resistance in effect.]

[Evil Parasitism - Nullified]

The Wandering Star Holy Sigil expanded.

The malevolent black miasma was completely sealed off outside.

Visibility dropped to the absolute minimum.

Eerie howls echoed from every direction.

The sense of [Life] within this space was suppressed to its lowest point.

All justice and hope were completely cut off.

Only evil could thrive on this soil.

Evil?

Ye Qiyan, who had been struggling to decide who to send into this fight, suddenly had an idea.

"Come to think of it, in all the previous trials, it was always a bunch of them ganging up on me. This time around, heh heh."

He spread open his palm.

Behind him, a ring of [Evil] silently materialized.

Mogruth's evil miasma blocked the outside world's view.

So he would use [Arrogance] to block all prying eyes.

"Since you want to eat me, that means you're prepared to be eaten yourself, right?"

Ye Qiyan extended his hand.

A card from within the [Ring of Evil] flew automatically between his two fingers.

[Demon Card·Gluttony]

A silvery-white slime dropped from the card to the ground.

In the next instant, the islands and waters of the arena were completely covered in a layer of sticky, viscous fluid.

"This time, you go first."

Gluttony hadn't eaten a proper monster in quite a while.

On normal days, it just scavenged garbage aboard the train.

In this Lunar Heart Arena, Ye Qiyan hadn't used any Demon Cards other than Arrogance and Bewitchment either.

Most of the previous opponents, after being defeated, were blown to bits.

But this time, since the enemy was so cooperative as to isolate the space~

"Gluttony, eat it!"

Eve locked onto Mogruth.

Gluttony, which had covered the entire waters and islands, began life conversion!

BOOM!

The Steam King took the stage first! The headless goblin apostle! The heartless goblin Champion King! Following right behind!

Six elementally resonant dragon beasts.

Vampires, goblins, gnomes, the Mechanical Army...

Thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands upon tens of thousands of Gluttony's army appeared in an instant!

And Mogruth, who was in the middle of performing his evil ritual to strengthen himself and devour Ye Qiyan, saw the glowing circle beneath his feet and felt the sudden surge of countless life forces appearing within his domain.

He was utterly bewildered.

Wasn't his opponent just one human, at most with a few dozen machines?

Where the hell did all these weird-smelling, completely unappetizing bastards come from?
