CHAPTER 364: CHAPTER 65: HAMMER

Su Xiao changed targets, and the National Foot Boss took the opportunity to stand up.

"Want to kill me, dream on! But it really hurts."

Although the National Foot Boss grimaced in pain, his face was filled with a smug smile. The fighting style of the National Foot trio was to wear down the enemy, taking attrition warfare to the extreme.

The three were notorious for bullying with numbers, provoking Lone Rangers, and running away when encountering an Adventure group. Their antics were notorious.

"Life Value remaining is 70%, already below the safe range."

The National Foot Boss’s safety range was astonishing. For most people, above 50% Life Value is safe, but for Su Xiao, it’s 20%.

The National Foot was very unique in this regard; their safety threshold was above 80% Life Value.

Just as the National Foot Boss thought about healing himself, his expression changed drastically.

"Why is my Mana Value... empty?!"

Discovering this anomaly, the National Foot Boss didn’t hesitate to spend a large amount of Paradise Coins to check the battle log. After seeing the long list of battle records, he was filled with dread.

[You received 270 points of damage (120 points of basic cleave damage + 103 points of weapon blade damage + 34 points of true damage + 13 points of bleeding damage).]

[Unknown energy burned 34 points of your Mana Value.]

[Unknown energy burned 34 points of your Mana Value.]

[You received 283 points of damage...]

[This calculation is an estimated method and is not accurate. Due to various factors, the data error ranges from 2% to 5%.]

Seeing this liver-trembling attack power, the National Foot Boss felt weak. If it were a regular contractor, they might have been instantly killed.

What does it mean to have four determinations for one cleave? After seeing the blade damage and true damage, the National Foot Boss made up his mind—to run, as it’s not safe to stay here.

What made him even more desperate was that every attack from the enemy burned his Mana Value. The National Foot Boss swore that he had never seen such a shameless ability.

"Brothers, this guy is not easy to mess with, scatter and retreat."

The National Foot Elder Two and Elder Three were just about to face off with Su Xiao when they saw the battle records sent by their Boss.

Their legs trembled, and they immediately noticed the Mana Value burn prompt at first glance.

It’s true that they were tough, but that relied on them healing each other. Without Mana Value, they’d die quickly.

"Boss, we can’t outrun him; this guy’s Agility Attribute is over 30 points."

Elder Two’s face changed. He also wanted to run, but seeing his own 17 points of Agility, Elder Two silently gripped his baseball bat tightly.

The National Foot Boss made a swift decision; right now, Elder Three was getting hacked and screamed like a slaughtered pig.

"Elder Two, hammer tactic."

"Got it!"

The National Foot Boss reluctantly took out a potion and drank it, blue light flickering around him as his Mana Value recovered about 20%.

"Holy Light Hammer."

"Holy Light Hammer."

The National Foot Boss and Elder Two both roared in unison, forming a short-handled big hammer shining with golden light in their hands.

"Go!"

The two threw the Holy Light Hammer at the same time, and the golden hammer spun and flew towards Su Xiao.

Upon hearing the sound of wind breaking behind him, Su Xiao stopped his cleave, flicking the blood from Dragon Slash as Elder Three took the opportunity to stand up and run.

Su Xiao executed a sideways jump on the spot, and in mid-air, he discovered that the two golden hammers could even turn, probably with a tracking effect.

Stopping his retreat, Su Xiao’s pupils slightly contracted, triggering his Perception Force as he tracked the flight path of the two hammers.

Dragon Slash swung through the air as Su Xiao slashed at one of the hammers.

The golden hammer seemed solid but shattered at a touch, turning into golden light that enveloped Dragon Slash, quickly wrapping around Su Xiao.

[You are affected by the immobilization effect of the Holy Light Hammer, lasting for 2 seconds.]

Being immobilized for 2 seconds was no big deal, but there were two golden hammers, and Elder Three drank a potion, restored Mana Value, and generated a Holy Light Hammer to throw at Su Xiao.

While Su Xiao was immobilized, the second Holy Light Hammer arrived, different from the previous one, as it directly hit Su Xiao.

[You are affected by the immobilization effect of the Holy Light Hammer, lasting for 5 seconds.]

And that was not all; the third Holy Light Hammer arrived as well.

[You are affected by the immobilization effect of the Holy Light Hammer, lasting for 5 seconds.]

[Hint: Detection of the Hunter being affected by three control effects simultaneously, judging...]

[Judgment complete, the three effects do not conflict, you will be immobilized for 12 seconds, 2 seconds of immobilization have passed, remaining immobilization time is 10 seconds.]

That’s the strongest ability of the National Foot; the Holy Light Hammer was originally an ordinary skill, but these three oddballs forcibly stacked it to Level 30, and at Level 30, the effects become monstrous.

Tracking, no determination, cumulative effect stacking.

At this moment, the three from the National Foot wore smug smiles. Elder Three even tidied his hairstyle~.

The three were ready to escape. Although they managed to control Su Xiao, their previous encounter made them realize that Su Xiao wasn’t a glass cannon melee. He took their dozen baseball bat hits without changing his expression, seemingly unfazed by their attack.

Thinking of this, the National Foot Boss chuckled bitterly. How could there be such an all-round Contractor? Could this be the benefit of strengthening four attributes at once?

"Brothers, form up! Get ready to retreat."

Don’t get it wrong, the National Foot trio wasn’t setting up a Teleportation Formation. They just wanted to strike a pose before leaving and then jump out the window to escape...

Just as the National Foot trio were about to pose, they suddenly noticed something was off.

Silver light flickered around Su Xiao, rapidly fading away the golden immobilization glow. This was the ability linked to the Mithril Holy Ring (Purple).

Equipment Effect: Mithril Burning (Active), use this skill to remove all control effects on the wearer. (Control effects released with Intelligence Attribute below 35 points)

Hint: Mithril Burning (Active) consumes 100 points of Mana Value.

Hint: Mithril Burning (Active) cooldown time is 18 hours.

...

Su Xiao regained his freedom and coldly looked at the National Foot trio. He had a strange feeling that these three fools didn’t seem to have killing intent; they didn’t seem to want to kill him but instead wanted to rob some belongings after defeating him.

He shook his head, wondering how there could be such Contractors in Reincarnation Paradise.

Su Xiao was mistaken; that’s exactly how the National Foot trio was. They never killed any contractors or plot characters; their belief was not to kill.

Although the National Foot’s style was quirky and somewhat annoying, the trio was among the few good people in Reincarnation Paradise.

"Not good, this pervert even has a control immunity."

"Boss, should we still strike a pose?" the slightly cute Elder Three asked.

The Boss was so angry he nearly blacked out. At this point, why strike a pose? Are you looking to die?

"Screw your pose, retreat!"

The National Foot Boss grabbed Elder Three, worried that Elder Three might insist on asking how to strike a pose, which would waste time, as that almost monstrous guy was already charging forward.

The trio jumped out the window together, with a series of thuds following seconds later.

Su Xiao stood at the broken window, watching as the three limped away into the distance.

"The National Foot Trio, huh."

Before leaving the window, Su Xiao didn’t underestimate them because of their goofiness. Their control ability was strong, and any one of the trio could be a top-tier Main Tank, highly valued in any Adventure group.
