Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 735: Chapter 45: Your Ability is So Shameless

The iron-black glow gradually enveloped Little Fatty, his mana value rapidly declining. The 10% life value consumed by Body of Steel was manageable, but the 300 mana points were a significant figure for Little Fatty, making him pay a high price to purchase equipment that increased his mana limit.

Little Fatty’s arms gradually turned iron-black. He quickly stowed away his shield to prevent metal assimilation.

”Since you’re bent on dying, I’ll oblige you.”

Little Fatty’s expression was a bit fierce. That light gold scroll wasn’t provided by the Blood Gate Adventure Group but was something he accidentally acquired himself, not a ’public’ item, so using it was bound to be painful.

Activating Body of Steel required a brief buffer time. Little Fatty was in a different dimension space, and once Body of Steel activated, he could ignore the attacks from Su Xiao and Umbrella Brother.

Just as Little Fatty showed a ruthless face, ready to unleash a big move and finish off Su Xiao and Umbrella Brother, his expression suddenly froze due to the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise.

[Insufficient mana, skill interrupted.]

This time, the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise felt especially glaring to Little Fatty.

”How could it be! I intentionally saved 300 mana points just to prevent...”

Little Fatty suddenly paused, recalling an earlier notification.

[You have been eroded by unknown energy, your mana value has been annihilated by 140 points.]

Little Fatty had a total of 475 mana points, which was quite a lot for a tank focused on physical attributes.

Previously, when battling Umbrella Brother, Little Fatty activated a skill on his shield, consuming 50 mana points, leaving him with 425 mana points. After that, he hadn’t used any mana.

But after taking a slash from Su Xiao, Little Fatty’s mana dropped to 285 points, making it impossible to activate Body of Steel.

As space rippled, Little Fatty was expelled from the different dimension space. He looked ashen, nothing more frustrating than failing to unleash a big move, knowing full well the resources he expended to develop such an ability.

Body of Steel is indeed powerful, but if it can’t be used, it’s useless. Well, it does have some use—at least it looks impressive when checking the skill list, being a level 40 high-tier ability.

Little Fatty didn’t want to look at his skill list now. After seeing those skills, mostly level 20 or 30, he felt anger bubbling within him. These skills were all a dim gray, unusable.

”Scared the hell out of me, I thought you were gonna use a big move.”

Umbrella Brother, who had calmed down, mocked. As the main tank, his control ability wasn’t strong, but his Mouth Escape was decent.

Little Fatty stood in silence. The wounds on his back had already closed and scarred over, thanks to the recovery ability derived from his high stamina. Of course, passive skills also played a role.

Not only was Little Fatty’s body defense strong, but his recovery ability wasn’t weak either. In the third tier, he had a nickname, Iron Egg, although it wasn’t exactly flattering, it represented how resilient he was, like an iron ball.

Iron Egg was in a terrible mood, and that wasn’t the main point—the main issue was that he felt a threat to his life in this situation.

As soon as this thought occurred to him, Little Fatty shook his head.

”Sun Z~”

Umbrella Brother shouted with a sly grin on his face.

”That’s a tactic I’ve already used before.”

Little Fatty threw a disdainful look at Umbrella Brother, but he always kept a wary eye on Su Xiao.

Su Xiao stood a moderate distance from Little Fatty. Little Fatty’s shield couldn’t be smashed, and he was waiting for Umbrella Brother to hold the opponent. After exchanging a glance with Umbrella Brother, Umbrella Brother clenched his mouth.

”So I’m going first?”

Umbrella Brother smiled brightly.

”You’re the tank, should I go first?”

Su Xiao glared at Umbrella Brother, who rubbed his face, already swollen like a pig’s head.

”I’ve been beaten to this sorry state, and you still expect me to go first, don’t you feel any guilt?”

”Cut the crap, just do it.”

Su Xiao kicked a stone underfoot, hitting Umbrella Brother’s Mechanical Gauntlet.

”Got it, got it, such a ’thoughtful’ teammate.”

Umbrella Brother hesitated for a moment before shouting ”I RNMMP” at Little Fatty and charging forward.

Although Little Fatty didn’t want to pay much attention to Umbrella Brother, he was still an enemy, and completely ignoring him wouldn’t be wise. To Little Fatty, Su Xiao was a sharp blade ready to sever his throat at any moment, while Umbrella Brother was a band-aid—unbeatable and inseparable, utterly disgusting.

The more annoyed Little Fatty was, the happier Umbrella Brother became.

”Where’s that arrogance from before? Keep pretending to be cool.”

Umbrella Brother pounded Little Fatty, whose focus wasn’t on him, keeping a close watch on Su Xiao.

Su Xiao circled slowly around the battlefield, ready to charge in and strike should Little Fatty show any opening.

Because he constantly guarded against Su Xiao, Little Fatty made inevitable mistakes when defending against Umbrella Brother’s iron fists, taking several hits. As for counterattacking, Little Fatty never considered it.

At this moment, Little Fatty showed how powerless an adventure group member could be when alone. His single-focused abilities left him without even a retreat option.

Fortunately, Little Fatty had already contacted Huang Yan, who was rushing over. After the death of Butterfly, Little Fatty sensed things were amiss, prompting him to contact Huang Yan decisively.

Umbrella Brother, now excited by the fight, leaped up. Normally, this would be courting death, but Little Fatty simply didn’t care about him anymore.

Realizing how Little Fatty underestimated him, Umbrella Brother laughed.

”Opportunity!”

As Umbrella Brother descended, he shouted, signaling Su Xiao.

Twenty times the weight.

White patterns appeared on Umbrella Brother’s Mechanical Gauntlet. His punching speed visibly slowed, but carried immense force.

Little Fatty immediately sensed something was wrong and raised his shield to the side.

Boom!

The massive Mechanical Gauntlet, now twenty times heavier, slammed onto the shield. Little Fatty’s jaw muscles tensed, and the ground beneath him erupted in dirt.

Shck!

Little Fatty felt a chill on his back as another very deep slash appeared.

”Ah!!”

Umbrella Brother screamed, pressing his mechanical fist down.

Having executed another slash, Su Xiao followed the power of Dragon Slash, lifting the long knife on the other side of his body.

The long knife tore through the air, shck, slicing Little Fatty’s back again, forming an X-shaped slash wound.

After taking two consecutive slashes, Little Fatty spat blood, intending to activate his repel skill, but Reincarnation Paradise alerted him to insufficient mana.

At this moment, Little Fatty wanted to roar in rage, cursing the heavens. He accepted the bone-deep cuts as part of being a main tank—being used to taking hits—but the annihilation of mana was bewildering. His mana was already limited, and after three slashes from Su Xiao, he was left with only 5 mana points.

Glancing at his remaining life and mana values, fear finally crept into Little Fatty’s eyes.

Umbrella Brother raised both his Mechanical Gauntlets in front of him, ready to withstand any incoming enemy repel or charge skill.

After waiting two seconds, Umbrella Brother was surprised nothing happened; Little Fatty merely placed his shield in front of him while Su Xiao’s blade flew, sparks flying.

”Why aren’t you using a skill?”

Umbrella Brother was confused, but it didn’t stop him from joining when mercilessly beating Little Fatty.

Su Xiao and Umbrella Brother attacked from front and back. After several minutes, Little Fatty was covered in blood, feeling helpless. He couldn’t even use low-cost skills from his equipment, let alone his own abilities.

”Just wait, your demise is near.”

Little Fatty wasn’t merely making empty threats; Huang Yan was close to arriving.
