Chapter 2220: The Spellcaster Who Lets Everything Be

~8 min read 1,566 words

Dragon Flash was pulled out from Alek's head. Through this battle, Su Xiao had a very clear understanding of the improvement of his own strength.

The ultimate ability of Blade Master lv. 40 didn't seem like much; it neither directly improved Su Xiao's physical fitness nor appeared as any wild and cool blade techniques, but Su Xiao could be certain that this was one of the abilities he would use most often in future battles.

The effect after attacking an enemy's flaw was truly too strong. Taking the battle just now as an example, Su Xiao only used one hilt-smash move to break Alek's strongest ultimate move. If that ability had blasted onto Su Xiao, with his vitality, saying it would directly kill him in seconds was indeed an exaggeration, but at the very least, he would have been blasted into severe injury.

Yet this tyrannical ultimate move was broken by Su Xiao through the Heart·Soul·Blade ability in a way that cost almost nothing, and he took advantage of the enemy's mistake after the ultimate move missed to kill the enemy on the spot.

This was the power and fascination of techniques, and it was precisely for this reason that the cost of improving basic abilities was very high.

Sparse applause came, not the sound of palms clapping against each other, but the sound of metal colliding.

"Being able to kill my companion avatar, your strength is worthy of recognition."

'Alek', wearing full-body armor, walked out from between the trees, his steps calm and unhurried.

Seeing this 'Alek', Su Xiao stepped forward to a white rock and sat on it.

"Tch, guys from Paradise, why are you all so smart."

'Alek's' figure began to change. First, she turned into the appearance of the female Feather tribe member Shang Yue, then switched to the fierce and cute girl of the Dream Spirit tribe, and finally, she turned into a short-haired girl with an ordinary appearance. On her face, several crisscrossing scars destroyed her already not-so-beautiful face.

"That's right, this ugly look is me, my true appearance," Nita smiled, took a metal box from the backpack behind her, and continued:

"Carrying this thing, I won't live for three days. It's tracking me, right."

Nita looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, then tossed the metal box in her hand to Su Xiao. Su Xiao raised his hand to catch it.

"A participant like me never thought about being promoted in the first stage. Being safely eliminated and obtaining a 'consolation prize' is enough to complete the tribe's requirements."

Nita sighed. As a member of the 'Chanting Language' tribe who could live until now in the Void, she always followed one principle: before strength reaches a certain level, do not attempt to obtain things one is not qualified to obtain. Things like going through layers of danger and finally luckily obtaining a rare treasure had too low a probability. She only had one life and wouldn't use it to gamble on that 0.01% probability.

Of course, if the success rate was above 20%, Nita would dare to give it a try. It was precisely because of this that she had her current strength. Nita dared to risk her life to fight, thereby obtaining a strong and beautiful future, but this didn't mean she didn't cherish her life.

"You and the twins are simply as strong as monsters. To be honest, I originally wanted to find the twins to cooperate, but that guy lying over there died too miserably. This is the end of cooperating with the twins, so I appeared in front of you at the risk of potentially dying."

After Nita finished this sentence, she exhaled a long breath. Twilight Island wasn't very big to begin with, and now it had been divided into two by Su Xiao and the twins, so the remaining living space was even smaller.

In Nita's view, this wasn't a survival-type screening, but a damn escape-type. Two groups of bastards divided this island into two and were about to start clearing the field.

In order to avoid the old schemer twins, Nita chose to find Su Xiao.

"Finished?"

Su Xiao tossed the metal box in his hand.

"!"

Nita felt a chill in her heart. Generally, after saying this kind of thing, one had to prepare to silence the witness.

"Cooperating with me will have great risks. Of course, I won't scheme against you like the twins. I'm only good at fighting; scheming is not my specialty."

"Is, is that so."

For some reason, Nita instinctively felt that this was very unbelievable. Just at this moment, Su Xiao tossed out the 【Sealing Box】. This thing could only be opened after three days. The ownership after three days was the key point.

Nita looked at the flying metal box, and the unease in her heart became more intense, but she still caught it.

"Arcane Eternal Star didn't let you come to kill me? Chanting Language tribe."

Su Xiao's words made Nita wave her hands repeatedly. She wasn't hostile to the Law-Exterminators. Even though the Law-Exterminator era had passed, the remaining power still existed.

"How could that be! Thank you very much for thinking so highly of our Chanting Language tribe, but we are just 'one of the secondary resource sources' of Arcane Eternal Star. Also, originally my ancestors wanted to hug the thighs of you Law-Exterminators, but... they couldn't find a way at all, so they could only rely on fate to join Arcane Eternal Star. Back then, the 'Swamp Light Battlefield' was on the planet where our tribe lived. If we didn't hug a thigh, our Chanting Language tribe would have been wiped out by some Law-Exterminator or spellcaster. In that era, once they hit home, we had to show an attitude."

Nita's mood was very bitter, and the actual situation was indeed so. Although the Chanting Language tribe was ancient, they were always a small-to-medium tribe. If the battlefield hadn't been on the planet where they lived, they would never have chosen to join either side; that was asking for trouble.

Because they joined Arcane Eternal Star to seek self-preservation, to this day, the Chanting Language tribe still had to offer resources every year. This was the price, and it was also the survival status of small-to-medium tribes in the Void. There was no absolute fairness anywhere, let alone in a place like the Void where there were many strong people.

Su Xiao didn't speak. He wasn't prepared to reach a friendly cooperation with this Chanting Language tribe member, but was prepared to use the other party as bait.

Nita looked at the metal box in her hand and immediately thought of the meaning it represented.

"Bait, right? No problem. As long as you don't stab me in the back, it's no problem. I just want to be safely eliminated. By the way, my name is Nita."

"..."

Su Xiao stood up. He was prepared to let this Chanting Language tribe member named Nita act as bait. The specific plan was as follows.

First, Su Xiao had to choose an ambush point. Amu, Baha, and Benny were all hidden nearby, while he was at the center of the ambush point.

As for Nita, she had to disguise herself as a weaker participant, covered in blood, and holding the 【Sealing Box】. The temptation of this was imaginable.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang would blend into the environment, secretly following Nita the whole time, so as to avoid Nita running away with the 【Sealing Box】 or having other thoughts.

2nd Hegemony Zone, Mocking Skull Rampart.

Black flames rose, with dark red vaguely showing through. The walls of the Mocking Skull Rampart dissolved like candles, finally turning into the most primitive earth elements.

"Elemental Spirits, you are very tired, right? Being piled here after turning into stones."

A male voice came from within the black flames. When the flames completely extinguished, a young man wearing black and gold robes with a lazy expression was leaning against a stone pillar.

"Hey~ kill what Law-Exterminator of Shadow, it's been thousands of years. Those old immortals are really stubborn. I have no grudge against that Law-Exterminator of Shadow, haven't even seen the door. Besides... their philosophy is correct. If elemental balance is not maintained, the Void will sooner or later..."

The young spellcaster's hand reached into his hood and scratched his head. Judging from his lazy tone, he was clearly a bit unconfident. However, he had already killed all the participants in the 2nd Hegemony Zone by this time. This was the strength of spellcasters. The range of their abilities was very wide. Sometimes dealing with one enemy was not much different from dealing with a group of enemies, and the combat area of the 2nd Hegemony Zone was much smaller than that of the 7th Hegemony Zone.

"Those stubborn old immortals, and can I really beat a Law-Exterminator? What if that Law-Exterminator has already awakened the second stage of 'Blue Steel Shadow'? Then what's the point of fighting? Forget it, talk about it when we meet. Let it be. I don't know if the other two idiots will target the Law-Exterminator. The grudges of a thousand years ago have nothing to do with you two. Meddling in other people's business, making enemies everywhere."

The young spellcaster closed his eyes, and after a while, he fell asleep. ===== CHAPTER 2221 =====
