Chapter 61: Chapter 29: Different Routes

Su Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly; the Contractor in front of him was not someone to be trifled with.

"Huh~."

A low growl emitted from the Queen’s throat as she crouched on the ground, enveloped in a layer of dark red energy.

This energy had no stable form, resembling a loose cloak.

The Knight Sword that the Queen had drawn was tossed aside.

The Queen’s initial plan was to drink that liquid to enhance her attributes and then engage Su Xiao in close combat, using her superior attributes to kill him.

Unfortunately, the Queen wasn’t lucky; she didn’t pass the judgment and fell into a state of confusion.

Her blood-red beast eyes revealed that the Queen had lost her reason.

With Su Xiao being the closest to her, the Queen naturally locked her gaze onto him.

Sharp bone claws had grown from the Queen’s slender fingers, and her four canine teeth protruded.

Through prior probing, Su Xiao understood that the Queen’s Power was 16 points, Agility 15 points, but her Stamina was too high to detect.

Her Power was 3 points higher than his, and Agility 2 points higher, which was still manageable.

Su Xiao took a deep breath, staring intently at the somewhat beast-like Queen.

"Roar!!"

Another threatening roar came from the Queen. Although she lost her reason, the beast’s instinct made her realize Su Xiao was not easy to deal with.

Upon entering the Ghoul World, Su Xiao feared no one in solo combat, not even Takatsuki Sen, let alone a drugged Contractor.

He spent a considerable amount of Paradise coins in the , summoning the Geng Si Lang Mirror Image, which greatly enhanced his swordsmanship.

What improved even more were the combat skills Geng Si Lang taught him. He had been practicing swordsmanship for three years and had combat experience before entering Reincarnation Paradise.

Under Geng Si Lang’s guidance, his combat experience became even richer.

Most Contractors used Paradise coins to buy equipment or skills, whereas Su Xiao used them to gain combat skills.

"Come on, little fox."

For some reason, the Queen now gave off the impression of having turned into a fox.

"Kill, you!"

The Queen uttered those words slowly, either out of instinct or because a part of her consciousness remained.

Su Xiao stood in place, not opting for a preemptive strike. The opponent lost 3% of her Life Value every second, giving him plenty of time.

A green light flew out from the street corner and into the Queen’s body, causing her constantly decreasing blood bar to rise significantly.

"Heh~, let’s see how long you can hold out."

Su Xiao started circling the Queen, always on guard for any impending attack.

A few seconds later, the Queen seemed to realize her life was rapidly draining away and lunged toward Su Xiao in a hurry.

A red silhouette flitted by, and when the Queen reappeared, she was right in front of Su Xiao.

Su Xiao’s pupils contracted sharply, his right arm’s muscles tense, as he swung his sword toward the Queen.

"Zzzz."

The sharp Dragon Slash scraped across the surface, as if slicing through the skin of a tire, cutting only the outermost muscle layer of the Queen’s arm.

This stamina??? It certainly wasn’t negligible; based on Su Xiao’s calculations, the Queen’s Stamina was 24 points.

When the Queen used the ’Mithril Chain’ earlier, Reincarnation Paradise had given a prompt: ’The caster’s Stamina is 2.33 times yours.’

Su Xiao’s Stamina was 6 points; 2.33 times 6 is 13.98 points of Stamina, and the attribute value display generally rounds off, so the Queen’s Stamina was 14 points.

After drinking that bottle of Unknown Liquid, the Queen’s three-dimensional attributes increased by 10, meaning her Stamina was now an impressive 24 points.

When the Stamina attribute exceeded 20 points, astonishing changes occurred. The sharp Dragon Slash struggled even to pierce through her defenses.

The Queen’s arm was cut by Su Xiao, but in a few seconds, the bleeding stopped, and signs of healing appeared.

"Sss~~."

A wisp of blue smoke rose from the wound as it healed on the Queen.

Watching this astonishing change, Su Xiao’s mouth twitched. Her recovery power was monstrous.

After being wounded, the Queen paused, as if pondering something.

The blood-red beast eyes trembled, and two seconds later, the blood hue receded from the Queen’s eyes, restoring clarity.

"This damn blood, it finally judged my Stamina attribute."

The Queen was now in a state where every 10 seconds, her Stamina attribute was reevaluated. If the check passed, she’d regain consciousness.

"Yezi, no need to hide; come out. He can’t harm you as long as I’m not dead."

There was a ’Mithril Chain’ between the Queen and Su Xiao, and Yezi walked out of a nearby alley.

Yezi had an excellent figure. Though not voluptuous, even a bit flat-chested, her delicate face and the natural air about her gave her a unique charm.

The Queen walked to the place where the Knight Sword lay on the ground, stepped on the sword’s hilt, and it flew into the air; she caught the hilt of the Knight Sword.

"Yezi, cast ’Holy’ on me and then switch to Plan C."

Hearing the Queen’s order, Yezi embraced air with her hands, releasing a large swath of green light dots.

Green light dots gathered above Yezi, forming two small birds, one green, one blue.

The two vividly colored Elemental Birds flapped their wings and flew above the Queen’s head, each securing a side, circling in a ring above her.

As the Elemental Birds flew, green and blue light dots drifted down, soaking into the Queen’s body.

With only one-fifth of her blood bar remaining, the Queen began to recover rapidly, reaching full health in three seconds and no longer losing blood.

The temporary passive effect on the Queen hadn’t disappeared; rather, her recovery speed now exceeded the 3% Life Value loss per second.

"This feeling of power, it’s truly intoxicating."

The Queen flashed a charming smile, tilting her head to look at Su Xiao.

"Are you ready to die now?"

The confidence behind the Queen’s smile seemed to pronounce Su Xiao’s death sentence.

Su Xiao was visibly stunned for a moment, then chuckled wryly.

"Do you really think your sudden strength makes you a match for me?"

If the Queen’s Power or Agility exceeded 20 points, Su Xiao might be outmatched, as it would create an overwhelming strength or speed advantage.

But the Queen’s Stamina exceeded 20 points. It wasn’t that Stamina was weak, but her temporary passive skill, causing percent-based bleed, negated the benefits of high Stamina.

Currently, apart from her enhanced Power and Agility, the Queen presented no significant threat to Su Xiao, as long as he stayed wary of those skills yet to be detected.

In Su Xiao’s view, a Shield Warrior using a sword against him was a laughable act.

Did she think his ’Swordsmanship Expertise: LV.3’ was just decorative?

Most of Su Xiao’s profits from the Pirate World were spent on ’Swordsmanship Expertise.’

Dragon Slash emitted a clear hum, and Su Xiao dashed toward the Queen; he wanted to show her what real combat was.

The long knife swirled with a whimpering wind, slashing towards the Queen’s head, and she instinctively blocked it with the Knight Sword.

"Clang."

The crisp clash of metal resounded, sparks flying between the sword and blade; the Queen blocked Su Xiao’s slash, gaining a bit of confidence from it.

However, at that moment, an excruciating pain shot through the Queen’s lower abdomen, causing her to involuntarily lift into the air.

While mid-air, a stinging pain spread across her face; her face was cut.

"Bang."

After rolling twice on the hard road, the Queen quickly got back on her feet, her eyes filled with confusion; she had no idea what had just happened.

Su Xiao lightly shook the blood off Dragon Slash, the tip pointing diagonally to the ground,

"With your close combat skills, you dare to near me? Combat isn’t just hiding behind a shield. Without that shield, you can’t fight."

The Queen, stunned by Su Xiao’s combo attack, still didn’t understand why she suddenly flew off.

Swallowing nervously, the Princess suddenly realized that the gap between her and the man before her wasn’t in attributes or skills but in combat experience.

"That healing ability, I don’t believe it will last forever. When it dissipates, it’ll be your end."

Su Xiao’s words made the Queen’s expression a bit sour, as it was indeed the case.

"I don’t believe you can dodge this sword."

The Queen stood upright, gripping the Knight Sword with one arm, raising the sword skyward.

"Holy Sword Slash."

The Queen’s coquettish shout was full of momentum; this was her only powerful offensive move, intended for emergencies, finally used now.

The night breeze blew the Queen’s long hair; after her coquettish shout, nothing happened.

At some point, the Queen’s Mana Value had dropped to just 6 points. She could no longer use skills; ’Blue Steel Shadow’ had burned through much of the Queen’s Mana Value.

The Queen, now holding the Knight Sword aloft, gave Su Xiao an incredibly juvenile impression.
