Reincarnation Paradise - Chapter 833
“Three Large Soul Crystals and a treasure chest appeared in Su Xiao’s hands. The value of the Large Soul Crystals goes without saying. If you want to improve your swordsmanship mastery quickly, you definitely need these things.
As for the ‘Gold-quality Equipment Chest,’ it’s interesting. It can randomly produce a piece of good-quality equipment. In other words, even if Su Xiao’s luck is not great, as long as he opens this chest, he can still obtain gold-quality equipment.
The only issue might be the variation in ratings. Gold-grade equipment typically ranges between 310 to 400 points. Su Xiao is confident that he can obtain 400-point rated gold-quality equipment. Hmm, probably… In order to kill Lanjue, Su Xiao used up a piece of gold-grade consumable.
Furthermore, after this, he will need to use several bottles of No.1 potion. Otherwise, the 3 points of actual toxin damage per second would be enough to take his life. Looking at Lanjue’s body, Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. This formidable enemy had finally died. With such a formidable enemy lurking in the shadows, he didn’t dare to participate in the Contract Holders’ Grand Melee.
Lanjue had been successfully killed, but Su Xiao was heavily injured. He urgently needed to find a safe place to rest. Bubu Wang ran out from the bushes. Its Ice and Snow Goddess Aura reduced Su Xiao’s life loss speed by a third. Not only that, but Bubu Wang also used its loyalty to its master (active skill) to heal Su Xiao, restoring 60% of his health.
Su Xiao’s dangerously low health quickly recovered, and the intense pain all over his body noticeably subsided. “This hidden place needs to be ventilated, safe, and difficult to be discovered.”
“Woof.” Bubu Wang turned and ran deep into the grass. It had already found a safe spot beforehand to prevent Su Xiao from sustaining severe injuries after the battle. Five minutes later, Bubu Wang brought Su Xiao to the entrance of a cave. It was pitch black inside the cave.
Bubu Wang rushed into the cave first, and after a few seconds, sounds of fighting echoed from within. “Roar! Ao~ Ao~” A bruised and swollen brown bear rushed out of the cave. Bite marks could still be seen on its fleshy paws. The brown bear’s big, round eyes were full of grievances. It was sound asleep at home when suddenly, a thief invaded its home.
Could the brown bear endure it? Could it? Of course, it could. The opponent was too strong, and it almost made the brown bear doubt its life. So the brown bear fled. However, when it reached the door of its home, the brown bear saw a human covered in blood.
In the past, the brown bear would have easily killed this human. However, this human’s aura was terrifying. With a thud, the brown bear in front of Su Xiao collapsed to the ground, clutching its head. Su Xiao walked past the brown bear. After Su Xiao entered the cave, the brown bear fled in haste.
This bear was so scared by Su Xiao that it ran upright and exceptionally fast. Sitting inside the cave, which had no strange smell and good ventilation, Su Xiao took out two bottles of No.1 potion and some bandages to start treating his injuries. He also used the Qinggang Shadow Energy to eliminate the severe poison in his body.
About an hour later, Su Xiao, who had rested, opened his eyes. “Very well, continuing the fight won’t be a problem.” The combination of Ice and Snow Goddess Aura, No.1 potion, and Qinggang Shadow Energy rapidly restored Su Xiao’s injuries. He had no issues with his stamina. His battle with Lanjue lasted 5 minutes at most; it was just intense.
Both sides understood each other’s abilities so that the battle would be brief. Taking Bubu Wang along, Su Xiao, now 80% recovered, headed deeper into the ruins, towards the second area of the Contract Holders’ Grand Melee. After a few minutes of hurried travel, Su Xiao heard the booming sound of explosions coming from the natural maze in the second area.
The Contract Holders from Tianqi Park were breaking through the second area. Indeed, numerical superiority was an undeniable advantage. Moreover, the side from Samsara Park was not just defending the second area; the stone bridge in the rear was more suitable for defence.
Seeing this situation, Su Xiao quietly entered the second area. He was currently behind the Tianqi Park Contract Holders. The Contract Holders from Tianqi Park would never have expected anyone from Samsara Park to be behind them. After all, they had already cleared infiltrators trying to get behind them multiple times.
The more unexpected something was, the more likely it was to happen. Hence, Su Xiao, currently wielding the Butchering Short Blade, slowly approached a priest in white robes from behind. This was a healing class Contract Holder.
The priest in white robes looked relaxed. He was among numerous teammates and had terrain cover. The possibility of enemies attacking him was minimal. Watching the frontline Contract Holders fighting bloodily, the priest in white robes smirked. He felt he had made the wisest choice by choosing a healing profession.
The treatment was generous, and it wasn’t dangerous. During battles, he only needed to release healing skills behind his teammates. The lives of those front-liners were in his hands, and this feeling of controlling others’ lives felt good.
Thinking about this, the priest in white robes yawned. He wanted the war to end quickly and in victory. Then, he could gain a lot of benefits and continue to grow stronger. Once back in the real world, he could relax, drink tea, and flirt with girls.
“I wonder if Peggy misses me. Damn this war world, when will it end…” Before the priest in white robes could finish his words, he felt a tingling sensation in his throat. Subsequently, his body began to weaken rapidly, and darkness swiftly enveloped him. A swift throat cut ended the life of the priest in white robes, and Su Xiao continued moving forward.
Undoubtedly, this was an excellent opportunity to eliminate the enemy’s backline. Bubu Wang was responsible for searching for the enemy’s backline and scouting ahead. Its abilities were well-suited for reconnaissance. If discovered, it would pretend to be a statue. Once an enemy was spotted, Su Xiao would immediately move in and slit their throat.
With the Butchering Short Blade and the mastery of swordsmanship, even the slender bodies of the healers could be dealt with in a single strike. Unfortunately, he was still missing one piece of the Demon Hunting Set. If complete, Su Xiao’s attack power would be even more terrifying.
Healers and support class Contract Holders fell one after another. From the frontline where the enemies were being killed, Hii realized that something was amiss. “Liuli, go deal with the assassin in the rear. We’ve set up genuine detection guards. It’s strange how someone managed to sneak through.”
“Understood.” Liuli, beside Hii, dodged a bullet, taking advantage of Hii’s cover, and successfully retreated. Little did Liuli know that the person she was looking for was Su Xiao.
Hii’s fingers moved through the air in front of her. Crackling sounds emerged as a transparent crystal network spread forward.
Any Samsara Park Contract Holder touched by the crystal network would undergo a few judgments. If they failed, they would crystallize.”Shatter.” With a crackling sound, the bodies of three Samsara Park Contract Holders in front of Hii shattered into large crystal fragments.
A one-armed captain stared at Hii. Crystal traces were visible at the site of his severed arm. This woman was too strong; he had almost been killed by her earlier. “Where’s Yanchen? Quickly, get him to deal with this woman.”The one-armed captain shattered the crystal at his wound, and faint red crystal shards flew off.
“Not sure.” Beside the one-armed captain, a black-haired, red-eyed youth was faint and about to lose consciousness. He had been holding off Hii all this while. In this hour-long battle, he had died 168 times. Although he had a demi-human lineage that granted him immortality, it wasn’t absolute.
“Damn it, with this woman breaking through, we can’t hold on for much longer. Keeping the second area for a day is impossible. Prepare to retreat to defend the stone bridge.” The one-armed captain’s eyes glinted with ferocity. Although he knew he wasn’t Hii’s match, he didn’t retreat. If he did, many of his subordinates would die.
“You guys haven’t escaped; it’s unexpected.” The crystal floated as Hii spoke, staring at the one-armed captain and the black-blooded youth. If this were a battle inside Tianqi Park, the enemies would have fled already.
“This feeling… is good.” Hii’s lips curled up. Beneath her rational and strategic demeanour, she had a fearless heart towards death. This was what set her apart from the other Contract Holders in Tianqi Park, and it was because of this trait that she achieved what she has today.
…
On one side of the battlefield, flames clashed with ice and a large amount of steam spread.
Yanchen stood within the scorching steam, his complexion not looking good. His abilities were being countered.
“Only flames at this temperature won’t kill me.” A young, one-eyed man waved his hand, dispelling the steam around him. He stood at around 1.6 meters tall but exuded an imposing aura of 6.1 meters.
“Bold statement. If I remember correctly, your name is Winter?” Yanchen moved his slightly numb shoulders. There was a layer of ice crystals on his shoulders. “Yes, Winter. I heard your name is Yanchen. From the codename, I knew we were destined to be opponents.”
“I don’t use codenames. My name remains the same, Yanchen.”
“Oh?” Winter was momentarily surprised, a smile appearing on his face. “How coincidental, so am I.” Winter charged straight towards Yanchen; he was a close combatant.
In a surprising turn of events, Yanchen rushed forward holding a staff. His steps were steady, and his momentum vigorous. He was also engaging in close combat!
In Yanchen’s words, a mage who couldn’t engage in close combat wasn’t qualified. Judging from the bruises on Winter’s face, Yanchen’s close combat abilities were powerful. The gold-quality staff held by Yanchen was wielded vigorously.
Flames surged from the staff. Any structure touched by the staff would turn into ashes. This made people suspect if this was the correct usage of a staff.
