Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 807: Chapter 38: Survival Strength

Su Xiao lay on the battlefield, surrounded by soldiers fighting each other.

The sound of war drums grew increasingly urgent, and the Imperial Army’s advantage began to show as they drove the Tribal Army down the stone slope.

Among the crowd of Imperial soldiers, hundreds of soldiers clad in black armor stood out, gathering together to form a circle of human walls.

”Cough, cough, cough...”

A dry cough echoed from within the human wall, where Legion Commander Carlos sat on a corpse. With each cough, blood gushed from his mouth.

Under Carlos sat the corpse of a Giant Troll, its entire body covered in blue skin, emanating cold even in death.

This Giant Troll was the leader of the Troll Tribe in the Black Soil Battle Zone, known to enemies as the Troll Sage and to acquaintances as Frost.

”Armst, you managed to escape quickly.”

Carlos pressed a hand against the bloody hole in his abdomen, which looked like it had been pierced by a bull’s horn.

Just ten minutes ago, Minotaur Armstrong had fought alongside the Frost Troll against Carlos. The result was one dead and two injured, as Armstrong escaped after losing a horn.

”Are you okay?”

A female voice came from beside Carlos, belonging to an invisible Night Elf.

”I’m fine. Do they think they can kill me with the two of them? In the Black Soil Battle Zone, nobody but Bert Doun can take my life.”

Carlos picked up the horn from the ground.

”This thing is nice. I remember your father had a grudge with Armstrong. After the war, give this to him.”

Carlos stuffed the broken horn into his arms and took out a glass bottle, looking at the air beside him where an invisible Night Elf stood.

”The little dwarf Goblins are really good at scheming, doing everything they can to get this bottle of Alchemy Potion to you, probably waiting for me to drink it when I’m injured. No wonder the Troll Sage and Armstrong dared to come and kill me.”

The potion slipped from Carlos’s hand and landed on the ground, where his combat boots crushed it with a crack.

”It’s expensive. Even if I can’t use it, I could sell it back to the Tribal Alliance. Most methods wouldn’t detect anything wrong with this potion.”

The Night Elf spoke with a slightly reproachful tone.

”Did you get this from Douglah? No wonder, when your childhood sweetheart is stolen by another man, it’s normal to want to poison them.”

Carlos lowered his gaze, staring at the potion sinking into the soil in a daze.

”Douglah is dead.”

The female Night Elf spoke.

”What?”

Carlos was somewhat surprised.

”He died by my hand. Besides, he was not my childhood sweetheart; that was just his own idea. The children of the Night Elf Clan grow up together. If I thought like him, I would have at least a hundred childhood sweethearts.”

The female Night Elf, the Dark Night Elf Princess, spoke with a chilling tone.

”Truly ruthless.”

Carlos seemed to understand the saying ’the most venomous is a woman’s heart.’ The outside rumors were true, he indeed had an affair with the Dark Night Elf Princess.

”Darling, do you have a problem?”

The voice of the Dark Night Elf Princess was gentle, but Carlos felt no warmth.

”Let’s not discuss this topic for now. The battle is going well, and it won’t be long before the Tribal Army collapses. We must prepare to pursue them, at least to keep them away from the Black Soil Fortress.”

Carlos stood up, drawing the Knight Sword embedded in the soil beside him. The blade was at least a palm’s width, very heavy, and razor-sharp, perfect for slashing enemies.

The originally polished blade of the Knight Sword had turned slightly red. This color appeared only after slashing enemies repeatedly. With immense force behind each strike, blood gradually seeped into the blade, resulting in the bright, subtly red appearance over time.

If Carlos were to die and someone else wielded this sword, without strong willpower, they might be driven insane by the blood energy within the blade. After all, Carlos had used it to kill for nearly twenty years, and countless Tribal Army soldiers had died under this sword.

”Occupy our Black Soil Fortress and taste the bitterness of invasion yourselves.”

Carlos looked towards the back of the battlefield, spotting a deputy commanding the battle from a high vantage point, even from afar.

”Rona is good, very suitable to succeed the Legion Commander position.”

Carlos’s statement shocked many. He had only been the Legion Commander for a few days and was already considering a successor.

”Can’t... suppress it anymore?”

The Dark Night Elf Princess’s voice was choked with emotion.

”No crying!”

Carlos roared, and a blood-red light appeared in his right eye, making him seem like a demon from purgatory.

”Remember, even if I die, don’t cry over my corpse.”

The red light in Carlos’s right eye faded, his aura returning to normal. He turned and walked towards the rear of the Imperial Army.

Drip, drip...

Crystal-clear tears fell. The Dark Night Elf Princess’s eyes were full of tears as she stared blankly at Carlos’s back. This strong man she loved was going to die—at most, he had three months to live.

”There must be a way, there must be.”

The Dark Night Elf Princess pursed her red lips, her beautiful appearance masking her ruthlessness. Sometimes, when a woman goes mad, she can be a truly terrifying creature.

”If that Goblin half-blood can’t come up with a solution within two months, I’ll dismember him.”

Nicholas Caesar, positioned at the rear of the Imperial Army, had no idea a woman had set her sights on him. If he couldn’t find a way to heal Carlos, this soon-to-be-widowed Female Elf might go mad.

Female Night Elves had a unique characteristic: once they found love, there was no concept of breaking up. In the minds of female Night Elves, there was only widowhood, not breakups. Beautiful flowers often have thorns, and female Night Elves are fiercer, possessing a lifelong ’binding’ effect. Want to unbind? Sure, but you must die first. Only death can unbind.

...

Su Xiao stood up from the densely packed group of soldiers. At this moment, he was surrounded by charging Imperial Army soldiers, eliminating the need to play dead.

He glanced down at the wound on his chest. After sustaining a serious puncture, No. 1 Potion’s recovery power showed its effect. The arm-thick blood hole had already stopped bleeding, covered by a thin layer of flesh, and looked like it would recover soon.

As for the internal injuries, No. 1 Potion’s effect on internal injuries far surpassed that of muscle and bone recovery. Su Xiao’s liver, which was mostly pierced, had already begun to heal.

Su Xiao took a deep breath, his chest still faintly aching, but it was no longer a major issue. This was the advantage of a high survival ability.

When it came to survival ability, Su Xiao’s was not weaker than the main tanks of the Adventure group. Although he didn’t carry a shield, he had the Counter Shield.

Comparing physical attributes, Su Xiao’s were not much lower than those main tanks. As for Life Value, although Life Value is quantified in percentage terms, through calculation and summarization by many Contractors, there’s a rough way to calculate Life Value.

Normally, 1 point of physical attribute roughly translates to an increase of 10 to 13 Life Value points. When comparing Life Value, Su Xiao might even surpass most main tanks.

The Spirit Shadow Physique Skill changed the way Su Xiao stored his Mana Value. Most Contractors store their Mana Value in their brains, but Su Xiao was different. His Mana Value was stored throughout his body—in his blood, muscles, bones, and other tissues.

This unique Mana Value storage method allowed his Mana Value to nourish his Life Value. The Spirit Shadow Physique Skill greatly enhanced his Life Value, the increase amounting to 30% of his Total Mana.

Su Xiao’s current Mana Limit was 2610 points, which substantially boosted his Life Value by 783 points. With such a Life Value, unless he suffered a critical injury, even if his chest was pierced or he was cut in half, he could endure for a long time.

Facing enemies head-on was Su Xiao’s consistent fighting style, which required strong survival ability.

The benefits of strong survival ability showed at this moment. After a brief rest, Su Xiao had already recovered some combat strength. If Duke Lan knew Su Xiao’s current situation, he would certainly roll his White Eye in frustration.

PS: (Went drinking with friends and got a bit tipsy. Although it was written before heading out, it requires edits + checks for a Wasted Mosquito stamp of approval before uploading. Clearly can’t do it in this state, so just one Chapter today. Definitely five Chapters tomorrow. Readers, consider today as banking two Chapters. Wasted Mosquito really doesn’t want to edit + check Chapters in this state.)
