Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 35: Chapter 3: Blue Steel Shadow

Su Xiao stood still, holding ”Dragon Slash,” and the scene was silent.

”Gulu.”

A difficult gulp broke the silence in the arena.

Xi Luoluo looked at Su Xiao’s back, her large, bright eyes were filled with light. It was obvious that Xi Luoluo had recognized Su Xiao.

At this moment, in Xi Luoluo’s mind, several tags automatically appeared over Su Xiao’s head: ’Strongman,’ ’Super Thigh,’ ’Boss’...

Xi Luoluo suddenly felt a bit regretful. If she had known Su Xiao was so strong, she should have noted his ID before, so she could offer a big reward to help her through difficult Derivative Worlds in the future.

”Who are you, and how did you end up here?”

Gecko’s former excitement vanished from his face. He was staring intently at Su Xiao, and his Heko quickly appeared, enveloping one of his arms.

Gecko’s Heko is Scale He, with the Kakuhou near the kidneys. Scale He ghouls have very strong recovery ability, characterized by strong attack power but weak defense.

There are four types of Heko: Feather He, Scale He, Armor He, and Tail He. Each kind of Heko has its strengths and weaknesses, and they have no fixed form, shaped by the ghoul’s imagination.

The current shape of Gecko’s Heko was formed according to his imagination and combat habits.

”Who am I? Well, you can call me Bai Ye. Your Heko is pretty good; I’ll take it.”

Su Xiao activated the Shadow of Annihilation Law, opening ”Blue Steel Shadow” for the first time, instantly consuming 2 points of Mana Value, and reducing by 2 points per minute.

Upon activating ”Blue Steel Shadow,” he felt a certain energy within his body being activated, which was his Mana Value.

Mana Value circulated within his body and, after a certain mystical transformation, formed a new kind of energy.

This energy first traveled through his arm, then spread to the ”Dragon Slash” in his hand. The surface of the ”Dragon Slash” suddenly became enveloped in a layer of blue light. Upon closer inspection, one could also see subtle blue and white arcs dancing.

It’s not lightning but a newly formed energy through a certain power conversion from Mana Value, which is the core of ”Blue Steel Shadow.”

”Blue Steel Shadow” is a state-type active skill. After Su Xiao activated it, it consumes 2 points of Mana Value per minute. It doesn’t sound like much, but if he fights continuously for an hour, he would consume 120 points of Mana Value, out of a total of 153 points he currently possesses, enough for consumption.

The advantage of having ample Mana Value stands out, providing him with the ability to fight for a long time.

After activating ”Blue Steel Shadow,” each of Su Xiao’s attacks will burn 10 points of the enemy’s Mana Value.

It doesn’t seem like much, but if he hits a few more times, the consumed Mana Value would be enough to be fatal.

Imagine, after Su Xiao engages in a fierce battle with the enemy and is ready to unleash big moves, but at this moment, the enemy suddenly discovers that they have no mana left, how desperate would that be?

Moreover, ”Blue Steel Shadow” not only depletes the enemy’s Mana Value but also causes equivalent real damage.

Su Xiao once asked Reincarnation Paradise, what is true damage?

The response from Reincarnation Paradise was: damage that ignores everything, no matter how strong the enemy’s defense is, they will still be cut.

Su Xiao moved his shoulders a little, taking off his shirt, revealing his bare upper body.

He has a habit when fighting, which is that he likes to fight shirtless, as it makes his perception keener. It may be an illusion, but it’s his habit.

With 13 points of Power, 13 points of Agility, and 12 points of Intelligence, Su Xiao wanted to test what kind of combat strength these attributes could bring.

Don’t think that the Intelligence Attribute is useless in close combat. The increase in Intelligence Attribute not only enhances magic damage and Mana Value but also enhances Perception Force, which greatly aids in close combat.

”So then, let’s test with you. You look tough, should be hard to slice apart.”

Su Xiao fiercely stomped on the ground, rushing toward Gecko. With 13 points of Agility Attribute, his speed surpassed everyone present.

Gecko only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and Su Xiao’s face had already appeared before him, while a long knife emblazoned with brilliant blue light slashed toward his neck.

This slash of Su Xiao’s could be said to be incredibly tricky. Geng Si Lang’s teaching had significantly improved his Sword Technique.

With both hands holding the knife, this slash from Su Xiao was about to cut through Gecko’s neck. Although ghouls have exceptionally strong recovery capabilities, they still die if their heads are chopped off.

In this critical moment, Gecko roared. Using his arm to block was impossible, but his Heko was close to his neck, quickly wrapping around it.

”Puchi.”

The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh was heard, but no blood appeared at all.

Su Xiao’s slash hit Gecko’s Heko. Scale He is not famous for defense, and Su Xiao immediately sliced through it.

The face under Gecko’s mask twisted. What sort of slicing power was this? If he wasn’t mistaken, the other party was using only an ordinary weapon, not a Kuingke made from Heko.

Escape, he must escape immediately. This human in front of him is too strong. Forget about him, even if an SS-level ghoul came, they would be chopped into pieces of meat.

Just as Gecko was about to retreat, he suddenly felt intense pain from the wound in his Heko, followed by a certain energy within his body being burned, which was his Rc Cells.

As Rc Cells were being burned, Gecko felt an unprecedented sense of pain.

Even with his endurance, he couldn’t help but let out a scream. The true damage after mana burning took effect.

The ”Blue Steel Shadow” mastered by Su Xiao, in its literal sense, burns the enemy’s Mana Value, but what about ghouls that don’t have Mana Value?

The answer is that it burns other energies. The principle of ”Blue Steel Shadow” is to consume Su Xiao’s Mana Value to form a special energy.

This special energy adheres to the weapon, which, when Su Xiao attacks an enemy in close combat, invades the enemy’s body. It causes an Annihilation reaction with the energy inside the enemy, ultimately achieving the effect of burning Mana Value.

If the enemy doesn’t have Mana Value, the special energy will choose to annihilate other energies, like Rc Cells, Chakra, Nen, Spiritual Pressure, etc.

Compared to Mana Value, ”Blue Steel Shadow”’s annihilation rate on other energies is a bit lower, dropping from the original 10 points to around 7~9 points.

The feeling of having energy within the body being burned is certainly unpleasant. Compared to the true damage caused, that kind of intense pain affects battle even more.

The skill description of ”Blue Steel Shadow” is: After activation (Blue Steel Shadow), every close combat attack depletes 10 points of the enemy’s Mana Value and causes equivalent true damage. The enemy will suffer intense pain from mana burning.

Su Xiao did not previously care about ’causing intense pain,’ but seeing Gecko’s expression now, he understood that it doesn’t feel good at all.

After Gecko screamed, Su Xiao’s second slash arrived.

The blade swept through the air, making a terrifying wailing sound, and the sharp edge tore through the air, creating a wave of air.

”Puchi.”

An arm and half an ear flew up at the same time. Su Xiao’s second slash also aimed at Gecko’s head.

But Gecko abandoned an arm, blocking ”Dragon Slash” for a moment, before forcefully tilting his head to the side, avoiding the fate of decapitation.

With just two slashes, Gecko was left half-dead. His Heko was severed, and the severed arm dropped to the ground beside him, reducing his combat power by at least fifty percent.

Beautiful Woman Li Shi felt a tingling in her scalp after witnessing this, and she cried out internally, are all humans in District 20 this strong?

Without using Kuingke, being able to confront ghouls head-on, no, this scene wasn’t a confrontation at all but one-sided ravaging.

Li Shi’s first thought now was also to run, but a pair of sharp eyes already looked at her coldly.

”Where do you think you’re going, Kamishiro Rize?”
