Chapter 754: Blade of the Demon, Strong to the Point of Explosion

【Teleportation complete, Hunter has returned to the exclusive room.】

【The exclusive room is an absolutely safe point. No one can enter without the Hunter's permission.】

【Hunter has returned to Reincarnation Paradise, starting to settle derived world rewards.】

Derived World: Fate/Zero

Difficulty: Lv. 20

World's Source obtained: 88.9%.

Number of tasks completed: 5. (Main Mission x1, Talent Awakening Mission x3, Hidden Mission x1.)

Comprehensive evaluation: S+. (Note: The score ranges from E- to S+. The comprehensive evaluation is calculated based on the sum of the World's Source obtained and the number of tasks completed.)

Starting to collect World's Source...

World's Source collection complete, starting to calculate rewards.

Rewards obtained: 30 attribute points (already includes those obtained within the derived world), 42,000 Paradise Coins.

Comprehensive evaluation is S+. Current Hunter level is Lv. 16, Hunter level +4 (Derived world rank x Number of tasks completed + Comprehensive evaluation - Task completion time), Hunter level has been upgraded to Lv. 20.

Tip: Hunter level has reached Lv. 20. The next derived world will conduct a preliminary assessment for the Hunter. If the assessment is completed, the promotion trial assessment for the third tier will be activated.

Settlement complete, rewards have been automatically deposited into the Hunter's mark.

Lying in the exclusive room, Su Xiao spat out blood. He had taken a "hammer" upon returning, and coupled with the tossing of spatial teleportation, he had entered a near-death state.

【Detected that the Hunter's physical functions are damaged. Do you want to pay Paradise Coins to repair?】

"Pay."

Emerald green light spots emerged, wrapping Su Xiao inside. He felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, feeling completely comfortable, and the wounds and severed arm on his body recovered rapidly.

【Recovery complete, total consumption of 8670 Paradise Coins.】

Seeing the amount of Paradise Coins consumed, Su Xiao felt a pang of heartache. He discovered that as his physical fitness continued to improve, the Paradise Coins required to repair injuries were becoming more and more.

He moved his recovered right arm, feeling no discomfort at all. This arm seemed as if it had never been severed, and the previous excruciating pain felt like an illusion.

This was the power of Reincarnation Paradise. It wasn't regenerating an arm, but restoring it to the arm it once was.

One must know that there was a fundamental difference between the two. If he were to regenerate an arm, Su Xiao would need to re-train and adapt, but if he restored it to the state before the arm was severed, there was no need for training at all, because this was his original arm.

Injuries fully recovered, Su Xiao stretched his muscles and bones.

"The level is rising a bit too fast..."

Su Xiao's brow furrowed. From successfully promoting to a second-tier Hunter until now, he had only experienced three derived worlds.

Because every comprehensive evaluation was very high, this caused his level to soar. If it were according to the promotion speed of ordinary contractors, from the early second tier to the third-tier assessment, it would take at least 7~8 Reincarnation Paradise cycles, and that was assuming they could complete the main mission in every derived world.

As for staff members, most staff members didn't have promotion assessments at all. As long as the level was reached, they were automatically promoted to the next tier. Only a small number of staff members who mastered special abilities had assessment tasks, such as mastering high-level forging, machinery, and other skills.

This was actually understandable. With the weak combat power of most staff members, letting them go to trial worlds was completely letting them go to their deaths. Not to mention survival trials, those staff members cried and begged for their parents every time they entered a derived world, hugging thighs everywhere.

Su Xiao had already experienced a tier promotion once, so he would be more comprehensively prepared this time.

Temporarily ignoring the matter of tier promotion, Su Xiao remembered that the Blade of the Demon ability had been upgraded to Lv. 30. He hadn't checked the attributes of the Blade of the Demon ability yet.

This time, the Blade of the Demon ability upgrade, he felt the change before even checking the detailed data, which showed how large the magnitude of the upgrade was.

Opening the skill list, the details of the Blade of the Demon ability appeared.

【Blade of the Demon: LV. 30 (Active Skill)】

Usage condition: After opening (Blade of the Demon), the Hunter consumes 100 mana points per minute. It automatically closes when mana is below 1%.

Skill effect: After opening (Blade of the Demon), each melee attack will burn 160 mana points from the enemy and cause true damage equal to 1.5 times the burned mana (240 points of true damage). The enemy will suffer intense pain after the mana burn.

Proud Song: This is a defensive form that can generate energy shields of any shape to defend against enemy attacks. The strength of the energy shield is directly proportional to the mana consumed. The upper limit of mana consumption for a single use is 500 points (increased by 100 points).

Soul Electric Shock: When Blade of the Demon energy burns the enemy's mana, there is a 12% chance to trigger one of three abnormal states: paralysis, immobilization, or dizziness. The duration of the abnormal state is 0.2~3 seconds (the duration of the abnormal state is determined based on the Hunter's intelligence attribute).

Tip: This abnormal state takes effect without judgment.

Tip: This ability is a passive trigger with no cooldown.

Tip: Abnormal states cannot be stacked.

Seeing the effect of Blade of the Demon Lv. 30, Su Xiao was stunned. Although he had long thought that Blade of the Demon upgrading to Lv. 30 would produce a qualitative change, he never expected it to become this strong.

However, the consumption of mana was becoming increasingly terrifying. It was no wonder that the intelligence attribute would become one of the main attributes of the Shadow of the Law-Breaker. If mana wasn't enough, opening Blade of the Demon for a few minutes would result in a "misfire."

Although the mana consumption was terrifying, the true damage caused by Blade of the Demon had reached a shocking degree. If someone asked where the strength of Blade of the Demon lay, Su Xiao would definitely answer without hesitation: the true damage caused when burning the enemy's mana.

Except for a very small number of passive skills and rare equipment, most abilities could not cause true damage, and some first-tier contractors didn't even know what true damage was.

The additional ability of Blade of the Demon Lv. 30 could not be underestimated either. Because of a certain skill (Magic-Resistant Constitution), Su Xiao couldn't master most control skills, and equipment with attached control skills was generally very difficult to trigger control effects, which resulted in Su Xiao having no ability to control enemies.

But after Blade of the Demon reached Lv. 30, Su Xiao obtained an extremely strong control ability. As long as the enemy was eroded by Blade of the Demon energy, there was a 12% chance to trigger a control effect, and it was randomly triggered among three control effects, which greatly increased the probability of triggering.

Su Xiao also noticed a key point, which was that as long as the enemy triggered the control effect, the Soul Electric Shock ability would take effect directly, without judgment. This was the point of Soul Electric Shock that made people most satisfied.

The situation now was that as long as the enemy was slashed by Su Xiao once, and unfortunately triggered one of the three abnormal states, it was basically a death sentence for the enemy.

Su Xiao didn't need the enemy to be dizzy or immobilized for 3 seconds at all. As long as he could control the enemy for 0.2 seconds, he could make the enemy not even have the chance to use recovery potions, directly being slashed into pieces by him.

Su Xiao was very satisfied with the Lv. 30 Blade of the Demon ability—no, it should be a surprise. According to his estimation, after the Blade of the Demon ability was upgraded to Lv. 30, his combat power had increased by at least 20%, which made him look forward to what kind of ability would appear after Blade of the Demon Lv. 40.

After checking the Blade of the Demon ability, there was one thing that made Su Xiao very puzzled, which was where the "Blade of the Demon King" ability went. This was a big move, although it hadn't been awakened yet, but if it disappeared, it would be a huge loss. ===== CHAPTER 755 =====
