Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 236: Chapter 46: Selling the Number

Blue and white arcs of electricity surged over the surface of the Dragon Slash, Su Xiao lowered his waist and raised his qi, slashing towards the numerous shields on Carl’s body.

Clink.

The Dragon Slash was blocked, nearly ten layers of shields on Carl’s body dissipating more than half, but Carl’s gun was aimed at Su Xiao’s head.

”Die.”

”Water Bullet, Wind Bullet, Elemental Smelting, Ice Bullet.”

Bam.

An extremely sharp spike shot out from the muzzle; it was a highly penetrative Ice and Wind skill.

Even sniper bullets were no match for the penetration power of this ice bullet. Getting hit in the head would mean certain death.

Su Xiao’s legs spread apart, immediately dropping into a split stance, and the ice bullet flew past the top of his head.

This slick move was clearly beyond Carl’s expectations, but Carl’s second shot came.

”Water Bullet·Absolute Water Domain.”

Bam.

A burst of blue light exploded from Carl’s gun, and in an instant, a ten-meter radius turned into a world of water.

Carl used up five cards at once.

Carl seemed unaffected by this spell, at least able to move freely within the clear water.

Su Xiao, on the other hand, was different; his whole body was submerged in water, the resistance slowing his speed, and more importantly, he couldn’t breathe.

”Glub glub.”

Su Xiao opened his mouth, gulping in mouthfuls of water.

Seeing this, Carl chuckled quietly.

”Glub glub～.”

Water also flooded into Carl’s mouth, changing the expression on his face dramatically. He could move freely in the water world but wasn’t immune to its rules.

Su Xiao couldn’t breathe, and neither could Carl.

Su Xiao’s figure retreated swiftly.

Plop.

He exited the world of water; Carl’s skill created a massive water sphere about ten meters wide.

After Su Xiao left the water sphere, it shattered violently, turning into a large volume of water gushing outward.

”Phew, close call, almost got sliced at close range.”

Carl twirled his dual guns, smiling as he looked at Su Xiao.

”It’s over.”

On Su Xiao’s left hand, a few strands of metal wire could vaguely be seen.

Zing～.

The sound of tightening metal wires reached Carl, his face changed drastically as he looked down at the metal wires wound around his calf, deeply embedded in his flesh.

”Steel wire? When was it... Water Bullet·Defense.”

Carl immediately shot himself.

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.

Six gunshots rang out in quick succession; the shields on Carl’s body shattered instantly, and Su Xiao withdrew the Broken Elf into storage space.

A blood flower burst on Carl’s shoulder, and his left arm hung limply.

”This is bad.”

Carl’s breathing became rapid, and before the revolver in his left hand could hit the ground, he kicked it fiercely towards Su Xiao.

”Self-detonating Bomb·Full Fire.”

Thunk.

The revolver flying through the air exploded, releasing a surge of fire, water, and wind spells in all directions, enveloping Su Xiao within the range.

A multitude of spells swallowed Su Xiao, and at the most critical moment, he activated the protection skill from Mikasa’s Mind.

Various spells collectively detonated, and the shield shattered instantly, with billowing smoke, even wrapping Carl inside.

”I don’t believe you can withstand the power of over thirty spell skills; even the aftermath should be fatal.”

Carl was bound by metal wires, his entire leg a bloody mess, unable to move. After the explosion, he immediately checked Reincarnation Paradise’s notification, but no kill notification appeared.

A snow-bright long knife cut through the dust.

Splurt.

A stab through the throat, piercing out from the back of the head, blood spilled from Carl’s mouth.

”This... impossible.”

A vital point received a fatal attack, making Life Value meaningless now.

The smoke dispersed, revealing large tears in Su Xiao’s clothes, with several burns on his skin and cuts from wind blades on his chest.

”Why aren’t you dead yet, only someone with high stamina can...”

The light faded from Carl’s eyes; this spell machine gun had fallen.

”Because I brought a dog.”

From behind a large distant tree, Bubute Ni peeked out, wagging its tail quite happily.

Bubute Ni’s Recovery Aura, restoring 1 Life Value per second, didn’t seem like much, but it could recover 60 Life Value in a minute. According to Contract users, Life Value is roughly stamina ×10 to 20 depending on individual constitution.

Moreover, Bubute Ni had secretly healed Su Xiao with a 50% Life Value recovery, which was quite considerable.

Bubute Ni’s healing of Su Xiao gave no warning; only a casting glow flickered over Bubute Ni’s body, showing no signs on Su Xiao himself. Only he knew his Life Value had recovered.

Undoubtedly, Carl was the strongest mage Su Xiao had encountered, bar none; the opponent’s spells covered the sky and earth, many with considerable power.

Truly powerful mages don’t try to control their enemies; that’s what rookie mages do.

Powerful mages unleash a barrage of spells; high-powered spells are not easy to dodge.

And Carl used at least dozens of spells from start to finish, without running out of Mana Value.

It wasn’t that Carl had a lot of Mana Value, but those spells were pre-generated.

Carl’s kind of Tarot Cards needed to be charged with Mana Value when not in use. After charging, they became attributeless Tarot Cards. Before battle, the cards would randomly select three attributes, and the attributeless cards would automatically transmute, meaning Carl had over seven hundred spell skills to use.

You have killed Contractor No. 10025.

Your Talent ’Soul Eater’ activated, permanently increasing Mana Value by 15, current total of 536 Mana Value points.

...

A Scarlet Card fell to the ground, signifying Carl’s complete death.

Near the Scarlet Card, there was also a black number.

You obtained the Scarlet Card.

You obtained the Phantom Troupe invitation number.

Phantom Troupe Invitation Number

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise

Type: Invitation

Effect: Use to directly become member of the Phantom Troupe, ranking 11.

Troupe member message: Sell it or join us, your choice.

Price: 5% World Source.

...

Su Xiao was surprised that this item was even sellable, and he decisively chose to sell it. The 5% World Source acquired was no small gain, as he had no intentions of joining the Phantom Troupe for now.

...

In other Derivative Worlds, in a desert, a man wearing a cowboy hat with a cigar in his mouth walked across the sand, his face covered in a scruffy beard with a revolver holster strapped to his waist, containing a revolver glowing with purple light.

”Huh... Carl from number 11 is dead, and the number was even sold, interesting, could it be those guys from the Divine Emperor? Doesn’t seem likely.”

The man kept walking through the desert, shaking his head. The Troupe wasn’t a collective of allies; it was a haven for monsters and madmen, or rather, the Troupe wasn’t even an adventure group.

...

In other Derivative Worlds.

In a technologically advanced city, a muscular giant crushed an enemy’s skull with one hand, red and white fluids splattering, while bullets striking his body sparked.

The giant was battling when suddenly he stopped.

”So that pretentious guy from number 11 is dead? Hahaha, he even sold his number, this is a first-time encounter, interesting, very interesting, must definitely bring this guy into the Troupe when the chance arises.”

The giant let out a hearty laugh, the sound waves shattering nearby glass cups. ℯℯ𝑙.

...

In other Derivative Worlds.

In an underground space, a woman with a devilish figure, angelic face, and blood-red hair showed a slight smile.

”Little Six, the Troupe’s number was sold.”

A girl holding a tablet nodded.

”Hmm, although this has happened for the first time, there’s no rule in the Troupe against selling numbers, team skills can automatically generate numbers, it’ll just take some time.”

A large quantity of wild beasts surrounded the little girl, who was a rare summoner.

”No, I’m just interested in the person who sold his number. To kill number 11, that guy’s strength is not weak, the taste of his blood must be delicious. Ah, I can’t stand it.”

The blood-red-haired beauty revealed four fangs.

”Don’t get horny here, it’s disgusting. Hurry up and find those fleeing Contractors, there are about ten left from two adventure groups; it would be a shame not to kill them all.”
