Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 146: Chapter 6: ”The Day of Great Joy

After Su Xiao dealt with two Strange Species, the pressure on the front line obviously eased.

”Whoever dares to flee, I’ll kill them.”

Su Xiao shouted, stopping the Contractors who were considering a strategic retreat.

Some Contractors were visibly dissatisfied, but upon seeing the corpses of the Strange Species at Su Xiao’s feet, they quickly hid their displeasure.

”Now we’re all in the same boat. As long as we actively defend the line, there won’t be any problems.”

After Blood Rose spoke to negotiate with the Contractors, Su Xiao swiftly charged toward the third Strange Species.

He didn’t actually care if most of the Contractors fled. The mission’s failure wasn’t his concern; he had another agenda.

But it was better to deal with these Titans breaching the stronghold first.

Compared to ordinary Titans, Su Xiao found some Strange Species easier to handle.

Although the Strange Species were fast, they all had a habit of lowering their heads to bite humans.

This action of lowering their heads made it very easy for Su Xiao to kill the Strange Species.

But not all Strange Species were like this, such as the one in front of him, which was rather special.

As he charged towards the third Strange Species, it also noticed Su Xiao.

The Strange Species with somewhat vacant eyes stared at Su Xiao. Its originally slow steps suddenly sped up, and its two massive legs began running rapidly, with its upper body swaying back and forth, looking unusually exuberant.

Thud, thud, thud~.

The ground rumbled as large chunks of building debris were kicked into the air.

Su Xiao stood with his sword drawn, realizing that this Strange Species was different from the previous ones; it walked upright, making it difficult to slash at the nape.

The roaring sound reached his ears as a mud-covered large foot stomped down towards him.

Taking a long breath, Su Xiao lightly leapt a step to the left.

Crash.

Rubble splattered as the Strange Species stomped on the ground, creating a shallow pit.

The fierce wind ruffled Su Xiao’s short hair, and he grimaced. If he were to be trampled, he would surely die. Even with 12 points of physical attributes, let alone 20, he would be crushed into a pile of mush.

Under no circumstances could he be trampled or bitten, or else he would surely die.

With this judgment in mind, Su Xiao steadied himself. A flash of his blade, and the Strange Species’ lower leg was severed.

The Strange Species indeed had strong attack power, but its defense was not that strong. At least for Su Xiao, the Titan’s body couldn’t withstand his cleaves.

With his Swordsmanship Expertise increased by two levels, Dragon Slash upgraded to a Blue weapon, and the enhancement of various attributes of his body, he had significantly increased in strength.

With one lower leg severed, the huge body of the Strange Species fell forward.

Crash.

A large section of relatively intact buildings was crushed, and the Strange Species lay sprawled on the ground, seemingly trying to get up.

Su Xiao dashed forward a few steps and leaped onto the back of the Strange Species. Standing on its back, it felt like stepping on a piece of tough plastic.

Quickly reaching the nape, one slash, two slashes, and the nape was cut off, with steam rising in large amounts.

After slaying three Strange Species in a row, Su Xiao remained calm and collected, showing no signs of exhaustion.

First slash the hind legs, then the nape. With the Heart’s Eye Skill’s perception, the Strange Species’ entire body was full of flaws. In less than five minutes, two more Strange Species lay dead at his feet.

The sharpness of his blade made the present Contractors gasp in awe.

Reluctantly, the Contractors like Wild Bull gathered at the opening to block the Giants again under Blood Rose’s negotiation.

After a succession of five Strange Species appeared, the Giant’s assault from outside the city walls noticeably weakened.

[Your talent ’Soul Eater’ activated, permanently increasing Mana by 10 points, current Mana 313 points.]

[Your talent ’Soul Eater’ activated, permanently increasing Mana by 8 points, current Mana 321 points.]

...

[Your talent ’Soul Eater’ activated, permanently increasing Mana by 9 points, current Mana 349 points.]

Entering a new Derivative World, Su Xiao’s talent ability once again allowed him to siphon Mana.

Possibly due to the high amount of Mana siphoned at once, Su Xiao could distinctly feel some kind of energy growing within him.

Su Xiao checked the corpse of a Strange Species and searched for a long time before finding a White treasure chest, which left him somewhat helpless.

The drop rate for treasure chests from ordinary Titans wasn’t high, and although the rate for Strange Species was slightly better, the chance of obtaining a treasure chest after killing them was still not substantial.

Having experienced the Ghoul world, where killing hundreds of Ghouls didn’t drop a single treasure chest, Su Xiao was accustomed to this. His heart remained unfazed, and he even thought about ’killing someone’ on this ’great’ day for amusement but currently had no reason to do so.

Or rather, he must kill that person; otherwise, there would be endless troubles.

”Blood Rose, it has nothing to do with you if I leave the front line, at worst I fail the mission myself.”

A dark-skinned man with a wooden spear on his back lazily stood in front of Blood Rose. He was a true African.

In Reincarnation Paradise, Contractors of all colors were not uncommon.

”No one wants to fail a mission, right? With that strongman here, there’s no problem holding the line.”

Blood Rose was earnestly trying to retain this African not because his combat power was significant, but to avoid setting a precedent. If Contractors left when faced with danger, the line would fall into chaos.

”Brother Bai Ye, help me persuade him.”

Blood Rose discreetly gave Bai Ye a look, suggesting that Su Xiao should play the ’good cop’ role.

The African man curled his lips with disdain. He knew there was hope in holding the line, but the rewards for acting alone were greater than those from the main mission. He grew stronger not relying on the main mission and clearance ratings but through other, somewhat illicit methods. His individual gain could bring calamity to every Contractor in this Derivative World.

Hearing Blood Rose’s call, Su Xiao pondered for two seconds before slowly approaching.

”What? You want to leave Zone 3? The consequences are serious.”

Su Xiao smiled warmly as he stood before the African man.

Blood Rose stood by with a furrowed brow, having expected Su Xiao to play the good cop, but his actions were contrary to her expectations.

”Where I go is my freedom, you can’t...”

Before he finished, a look of terror appeared in the African’s eyes.

Poof!

A head full of shocked expressions soared into the air. The African man died without understanding why Su Xiao killed him; was it just because he refused to stay in the warzone?

A large spurt of blood splashed onto Blood Rose’s face, now indeed a rose stained with blood.

Blood Rose looked at Su Xiao in disbelief, her face full of shock.

”Why did you kill him?”

”Hmm? I did warn him; the consequences of leaving are very serious.”

Blood Rose remained silent, filled with dread as she looked at Su Xiao’s back. Such a powerful and unpredictable person who killed without hesitation was very dangerous.

Was Su Xiao really killing without hesitation? Of course not.

[The Hunter has cleared Violator No. 14030, now the hunting mission is complete (1/3).]

That African was a Violator. From previous world experiences, Violators usually acted secretly, avoiding contact with other Contractors. His appearance in the warzone this time surprised Su Xiao, probably driven by some goal, and he intended to vanish once that unknown goal was achieved.

The Violator’s evident intention to operate alone was clear. Allowing him to leave would be a future threat.

If during an attack and defense mission, that African caused chaos, it would be a disaster, prompting Su Xiao to take decisive action to prevent future troubles.
