Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 1113: Chapter 115: Annihilator and Mage

Seeing this series of prompts, Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. The total amount involved in this arena match he was participating in should be around 100,000 Paradise coins, which means he could profit about 500 Paradise coins from it.

One match earns 500 coins, ten matches make 5000, and a hundred matches total 50,000, which is quite a considerable gain, at least enough to repair equipment.

In past arena fights, Su Xiao always lost money repairing equipment. Now, although he hasn’t reached the point of making a big profit, a small gain is definitely achievable.

Moreover, this is just a third-tier arena with rankings around ten thousand. If he reaches the top hundred, the betting amount would increase somewhat, though not to an exaggerated number.

The Contractors fighting in the top hundred are definitely experts, but the audience may not all be wealthy. Watching top hundred matches costs only about 100 Paradise coins per hour, and if lucky, one could watch 5 to 7 matches within an hour.

[Three, two...]

The arena has already begun the countdown. After the start of the arena match, betting is closed. This is the betting service provided by the arena.

[Arena start!]

Four blood-red characters appeared above. Su Xiao drew the long knife at his waist, eyes fixed on his opponent several dozen meters away.

This was a young man with a ponytail, the golden-haired man was Caucasian by skin tone.

”S|hit!”

The blonde man was named Eugene, a Contractor of mid-level strength in the third tier, and he had won 6 consecutive matches. When matched with the 7th opponent, Eugene knew it was a bad situation due to the huge gap in rankings.

The disparity was so massive that Eugene immediately assessed that the opponent’s consecutive win streak was likely at an intimidating level.

Even though Eugene realized his win rate for this fight wasn’t high, surrendering outright was out of the question. He was a third-tier Contractor, and of course, had his pride and perseverance.

A magic wand suddenly appeared in Eugene’s hand, surrounded by a golden element.

When these elements appeared, Su Xiao had already identified the type: a violent mixture of light and water elements. It essentially had little to do with elemental fusion, which typically involves two elements merging without repulsion. This golden element was the result of violently compressing the two elements together.

This element is sometimes referred to as Saint Power, with properties inclined toward light and some healing abilities, on the theological side.

However, in the eyes of the knowledgeable, this is called pseudo-Saint Power. True Saint Power can inflict holy damage, a high-level judgment below true damage tier.

”Holy Angel.”

Eugene raised the magic wand high, with golden light spreading over it.

At first sight, Su Xiao determined that this was a mage. Based on the elemental fluctuation, he perceived that Eugene was a skill type mage rather than an academic school mage priest.

Su Xiao was all too familiar with fighting mages. After prolonged development of the Annihilation Law Profession, he found that its abilities weren’t entirely restrictive to mages.

The Annihilation Law’s intimidation of mages came from their hunt, not an innate counter.

Mage Nemesis was a title outsiders gave to the Annihilation Law, not something akin to inherited powers like the Sharingan or Senju Clan. It was a name forged through countless kills, one slash after another.

Counterbalance? True counterbalance doesn’t exist. The main types of mages have hundreds of classifications, with tens of thousands of sub-classifications.

The brutal difference one sees on the same tier level often misleadingly suggests the Annihilation Law has certain mage-countering abilities, while it isn’t so.

Strong figures in the Void are aware that the Annihilation Law is formidable against mages, but also against other types of enemies.

Of course, their long-time hunting led to techniques against mages, like Absolute Demon Physique or Blue Steel Shadow that targets the mage’s brain. These are skills developed postnatally by the Annihilation Law.

Golden light illuminated Su Xiao’s face, and his exposed skin felt a faint pain.

Su Xiao crouched low, eyes trained on the enemy dozens of meters away.

Noting Su Xiao’s gaze, Eugene’s eye twitched.

Boom!

As if a bomb exploded on the arena platform, Su Xiao vanished in an instant.

Clang.

A dazzling blade aura flew out, approximately five meters in diameter, entirely light blue, appearing crystalline despite being energy.

The flying speed of the blade aura was incredibly rapid, and just as Eugene activated his Protective Energy Shield, the aura was already slashing at him.

With a crack, Eugene’s surrounding egg-shell-shaped shield shattered, and the aura continued its trajectory toward Eugene’s chest.

Whoosh!

A piercing void-breaking sound assaulted Eugene’s front, his pupils shrinking to the extreme. Ignoring the approaching blade aura, he aimed his magic wand at Su Xiao.

”Divine Will.”

Eugene decided to go all out, unleashing his big move since one doesn’t die on the arena platform anyway.

Boom!

A golden beam barely grazed past Su Xiao’s side. Against an opponent of Eugene’s level, using the Dragon Shadow Flash ability was unnecessary.

As the beam shot out, the blade aura struck Eugene’s chest. With the Sword Technique Master skill upgraded to Level 40, the blade aura’s damage had increased significantly, enhanced further by weapon attack power.

As a mage, Eugene had strong attack abilities but was quite fragile. After being hit by the blade aura, his chest was fully opened, and his Life Value dropped from 100% to 20%.

While Eugene’s body leaned back, Su Xiao’s long knife was already slashing at his throat.

The blade glinted, and the battle concluded, taking a total of 13 seconds, 7 of which Su Xiao spent contemplating things related to the Annihilation Law.

The entire combat sequence saw Su Xiao charging at Eugene, launching a blade aura to break the shield mid-charge, and after the aura hit Eugene’s chest, Su Xiao had arrived before him to deliver a beheading strike.

While a mage’s long-range abilities are indeed strong, in mid-range combat, Su Xiao could thoroughly thrash a mage, not to mention close-quarters combat.

The blade aura had no cooldown, and without interference, Su Xiao could unleash 5 to 30 blade auras per second, with low consumption. If in a mid-range duel with a mage, the blade aura could definitely outmatch magic-type skills with cooldowns.

Faced with hundreds of fast-moving blade auras, one could only ask mages about the size of their psychological shadows, though academic school mage priests were an exception, as their spells generally had no cooldowns, provided their bodies could endure.

The audience was initially deathly silent, soon followed by buzzing discussions.

Having earned 483 Paradise coins, Su Xiao exited the arena. His ranking advanced from 9989 to 9510.

Upon returning to the lounge, Su Xiao began matching the next opponent. Now feeling light-hearted, after completing these three days of arena battles, he’d return to the real world to relax mentally.

Moreover, Su Xiao was curious about which Derivative World the next one might be.
