Apocalypse Descends: I Win Effortlessly by Turning Trash into Treasure

As expected, it had no effect.

Perry Yates watched the pangolin, which was completely unaffected by the Sleeping Cloud Mist, a flicker of disappointment in her eyes.

Then, she looked at the other one—the only person present who was also unaffected, the one who had just been speaking so tenderly to the pangolin.

Perry Yates had some recollection of this person—or rather, this group of people. They seemed to be a group of high school seniors on a graduation trip who had the misfortune of being chosen.

But a recollection was all it was—nothing more.

The boy looked at the masked Perry Yates, a greedy glint in his eyes. ”Snow, help me take care of her! Quick!”

He seemed so agitated that his body trembled slightly as he spoke.

As soon as the boy finished speaking, the pangolin instantly curled into a ball and shot toward Perry Yates’s position like a cannonball.

The moment of impact, Perry Yates’s body dissolved into specks of starlight. Then, a Wind Blade materialized out of thin air and struck the pangolin.

Sparks flew at the moment of collision.

Perry Yates looked at the poker card that had returned to her hand. Its edge was now slightly damaged from the recent collision.

’It didn’t even cut through!’

Perry Yates glanced from the Eight of Clubs in her hand to the pangolin on the ground.

”Then let’s try this one!”

Immediately, the King of Clubs appeared in Perry Yates’s hand, and she flung it at the pangolin.

As the poker card left her hand, Perry Yates leaned back, dodging the boy’s sneak attack.

She looked at the boy, a Wind Blade forming in his hand. ’That’s the power of cards.’

As if he understood the shock in Perry Yates’s eyes, a smug smile spread across the boy’s face.

”What, surprised? Your companion is already dead by my hand, and you’ll be following in his footsteps soon enough.

Weren’t you guys so high and mighty, playing with us all like puppets? Now, I’m going to let you taste what it feels like to be toyed with, hahaha! Snow, let’s get them together!”

Watching the boy laugh maniacally, Perry Yates had only two words for him: ’He’s sick!’

’This guy is definitely sick, and not just a little.’

Countless vines burst from the ground, instantly trapping the injured pangolin. Following the wounds, innumerable Dodder Seed vines began to burrow in, and the Seed of Life started to take root and sprout.

All of this happened in an instant.

”Now, it’s just the two of us.”

Perry Yates looked at the boy. The smile hadn’t even faded from his face yet, making him look like a complete idiot.

”Even without Snow’s help, I can still kill you and take your power.”

His plan was to get stronger by fighting. From the very beginning, he had never intended to rely on Snow, who had already turned into a monster.

They say the first step is the hardest. He had already taken that step by successfully killing a Dealer Player. He was certain he would be the final winner of this game.

However...

Moon Shadow Stealth!

Although it was daytime, the surrounding vegetation was dense and the light was dim. There was no shortage of shadows.

Perry Yates activated her Wargod Kai, used Moon Shadow Stealth to appear behind the boy, and finished him with a single shot.

The entire process took less than a minute—it was fast, precise, and ruthless.

The boy may have gained power, but he was like White given a legendary sword—he hadn’t learned how to use it at all. Naturally, he was no match for Perry Yates.

The moment the boy fell, countless vines erupted from the soil and wrapped him in layers, ensuring he would be killed again the instant he turned into a Hunter. The others received the same treatment.

As for the poor soul he had killed, Perry Yates already had a guess as to who it was.

If she wasn’t mistaken, it must have been Florence Moon.

She felt a twinge of regret; she had quite liked Florence Moon.

After a moment of regret, Perry Yates withdrew her gaze and looked at the deflated plant cocoons of various sizes on the ground. She knew that everyone inside, whether human or Hunter, had been dealt with.

Perry Yates whispered to them, ”I’m sorry, but I want to live.” Then, she turned and left the area without hesitation.

At noon, Perry Yates used an Any Door to return to where Evan Fuller and Amber Sheridan were.

The moment she arrived, Perry Yates was startled by the scene before her. ’Did I just stumble onto a crime scene?’ she wondered.

Perry Yates glanced at Evan Fuller and Amber Sheridan, who were in the middle of butchering a rabbit, and said, ”Why don’t you let me do that.”

’At this rate, there won’t be much meat left to eat.’

After taking the rabbit from them, Perry Yates made short work of preparing the food and placed it over the fire to roast.

”Aren’t you going to add any seasoning?” Amber Sheridan asked. Then, as if he’d remembered something, he added, ”You didn’t seem to add any yesterday either, but the roasted meat tasted like it had been meticulously marinated. Plus, it restored our stamina. Is that your Talent?”

Perry Yates nodded, not denying it.

”Right, do you have a card with the spatial attribute?” Amber Sheridan asked again.

Perry Yates nodded again. After all, they had both seen the Any Door with their own eyes, so there was nothing to hide.

”Can you take other people with you when you Instant Teleport?” This time, it was Evan Fuller who spoke.

’This big shot... I can count the number of times he’s spoken to me since yesterday on one hand.’

”Instant Teleportation doesn’t work for that, but my Any Door does, under certain conditions,” Perry Yates answered truthfully.

”What conditions?”

Hearing that Perry Yates’s Skill could actually move people, Amber Sheridan’s tone instantly became excited.

Seeing his reaction, Perry Yates pointed to an inconspicuous patch of Space Grass on the ground and said, ”I can go anywhere within my line of sight, or anywhere this grass grows.”

Hearing Perry Yates’s explanation, a look of understanding dawned on Amber Sheridan’s face. ”No wonder you were able to keep up with me and Master Ford before.”

As they spoke, the food was ready. Perry Yates gave everyone a portion and asked while they ate, ”By the way, why were you so excited just now?”

”You don’t know? Cards with the spatial attribute are incredibly rare, especially a high-level spatial card that can transport people.”

At this, Amber Sheridan sighed with a touch of regret. ”When I was choosing my starter card, I wanted to pick the spatial attribute. The spatial attribute is so cool! But considering future development, I had to give it up reluctantly and chose a Gold Attribute Card instead.”

Even though he had become very powerful now, as the saying goes, you always want what you can’t have. Amber Sheridan was still incredibly envious of the spatial attribute.
