Chapter 1162 - 47: Buff State
In front of Su Xiao was this Main Tank who did not hold a shield; he wore heavy armor, with only a pair of eyes visible.
"Gravity Ring."
A light wave spread from the Main Tank, moving so quickly that it was impossible to dodge. Even if Su Xiao realized things were amiss and leapt backward, he was ultimately enveloped within it.
A heavy pressure fell upon Su Xiao’s shoulder; he quickly judged this was the Main Tank’s control method. Based on most Main Tanks’ fighting style, the farther Su Xiao was from the opponent, the more weight his body would bear.
Su Xiao swung his knife, and with a booming crash, a bullet was cleaved into a large fragment. At the same time, a 200-point strength Counter Shield appeared behind him, blocking a gray ghost head.
Su Xiao was nearly surrounded by Contractors, with a Main Tank in front and stealthy attacks from the surrounding Contractors at any moment from behind.
The surrounding Contractors realized that if they didn’t deal with Su Xiao, they couldn’t reach the Ant King’s corpse.
The Main Tank in front was very bothersome; Su Xiao decided to deal with him first, so he charged forward a few steps to engage the Main Tank up close.
The Main Tank, seeing Su Xiao rushing forward, was visibly shocked, but then sneered. In Contractor versus Contractor fights, Main Tanks are always the safest, as most Contractors understand the survival ability of Main Tanks, and avoiding them during battle is the best choice.
Su Xiao arrived in front of the Main Tank and, without any unnecessary words, chopped down with his knife.
The Main Tank instinctively ducked his head, not because he didn’t want to block with his hands but because he couldn’t keep up with Su Xiao’s speed.
With a swish, Dragon Slash cut across the top of the Main Tank’s head, slicing off a piece of steel armor and a small patch of scalp.
After delivering this strike, Su Xiao was quite surprised because this Main Tank’s physique was very ’hardy’.
As for the Main Tank, he regretted using the Gravity Ring on Su Xiao. Upon seeing the high True Damage and the disregard for Defense Damage in his combat log, the Main Tank’s mouth under his helmet gaped wide.
"Ah!!"
A piercing scream echoed, filled with both the searing pain of being eroded by Blue Steel Shadow energy and the shock component.
Just as Su Xiao was about to slice down the Main Tank’s neck, a series of prompts appeared.
[You have received the ’Courageous Scream’ buff effect, reducing received damage by 10%.]
[You have received the ’Holy Song’ buff effect, moving speed +26.]
[You have received the ’Life Boost’ buff effect, recovering 20 Life Value per minute, and will immediately recover 50 Life Value after taking damage (cooldown time 30 seconds).]
[You have received the ’Wild Blessing’ buff effect, Weapon Attack Power +13, Strength Judgment +2, Agility Judgment +1.]
[You have received the ’Source of Love’ buff effect, reducing 20% of physical control effects.]
[You have received the ’True Love’ buff effect, True Strength +2, True Agility +2, True Stamina +2.]
...
These continuous buff effects left Su Xiao somewhat surprised.
"I... I’m a temporary worker, I can heal you."
A weak girl’s voice reached Su Xiao’s ears; upon hearing this, Su Xiao knew what was happening.
"This is not good!"
At the edge of the battle, Old Smoke’s cheek twitched. Su Xiao’s previous two-strike instant kill on close combat abilities truly shocked him, and now the Healer was actually buffing Su Xiao; this was outrageous!
"Brother Bai Ye, your close combat ability, which hasn’t seen resources for a long time, isn’t... a bit fake?"
Mizaki’s voice came through the earpiece, but Su Xiao ignored Mizaki.
If that Soft Sister Healer indeed healed him, then he wouldn’t need to worry about the distant sneak attacks and could directly charge into the crowd.
"I’ll give you 3 centimeters of heart afterward."
"Okay."
Without hesitation, the Meng Mei Healer answered; having reached her level, she never hesitated when she shouldn’t.
[You have received the ’Spiritual Amplification’ buff effect, recovering 280 mana value.]
The mana recovery prompt surprised Su Xiao even more; he didn’t expect the Healer could help him recover mana, which was undoubtedly good news.
Su Xiao suddenly had a thought of perhaps randomly selecting a ’Lucky’ Healer in future Derivative Worlds and using them. But considering the execution of the hunting task and the risk of making too many enemies, Su Xiao had to temporarily abandon this idea.
Bang!
A rocket bomb exploded at Su Xiao’s feet, enveloping him in flames. Just as the rocket exploded, the Healer quickly healed Su Xiao.
Su Xiao could completely dodge the rocket bomb; taking it was merely a test.
"Now, there’s no problem."
Su Xiao’s lips curled up as he looked toward the Main Tank ahead. This time, Su Xiao ignored the attacks from behind, unless they carried an intense threat.
The long knife broke through the flames, slicing into the shoulder of the Main Tank who had jumped back, forcing him down from midair.
With the sharpness of Dragon Slash, it directly broke through the Main Tank’s Light Golden Level Armor and embedded itself into the flesh of his shoulder.
The Blue Steel Shadow energy surged within the Main Tank’s body, causing not only intense pain but also terrifying True Damage.
Su Xiao reached with his left arm and directly grabbed the Main Tank’s face.
Su Xiao exerted force with his hand, and with a crunch, cracks appeared on the Main Tank’s face armor. The Main Tank, weighing over 500 pounds with his armor, was lifted single-handedly by Su Xiao, frantically kicking his legs a few centimeters off the ground.
Su Xiao’s knee struck the side of the Main Tank’s waist.
Bang!
The metal armor, a full centimeter thick, cracked, showing spiderweb-like fractures. The Main Tank let out a whimpering scream, instinctively curling his body and spewing bloody fluid with stomach acid from his mouth, his face showing deep pain.
As a Main Tank, perhaps it was the first time being grabbed by the head and kicked, causing him to forget to counterattack immediately.
This is actually the weakness of team-type Main Tanks; they often forget to counterattack when attacked because the team doesn’t need them to counterattack, only to withstand. Wild Main Tanks like Umbrella Brother would instantly counter two punches upon being hit.
After taking Su Xiao’s knee strike, the Main Tank realized the situation; now it was chaos all around, and support from teammates would be slow, so he immediately raised his fist to counterattack.
Su Xiao tossed the Main Tank two meters up and slashed continuously with his knife.
Squelch, squelch...
Blue slashes crisscrossed, each slash cutting through armor, blood, and fragments of armor flying everywhere.
After six strikes, the Main Tank fell to the ground with a plop, blood gushing from his almost shattered chest armor. After a series of True Damage from Blue Steel Shadow, he had lost consciousness, becoming a corpse upon landing.
Just after dealing with the Main Tank before him, Su Xiao’s long knife blocked to the side, obstructing a strangely shaped hook blade.
Sparks flew as Dragon Slash blocked the hook blade, and Su Xiao kicked straight to the side.
Bam!
With a blurry scream, the enemy wielding the hook blade was kicked flying, and the hook blade flew out of their grasp.
Dragon Slash was sheathed, Su Xiao’s aura suddenly sharpened.
"Ring Break."
Dragon Slash unsheathed, a ring-shaped blade aura spread around.
A splash of blood appeared out of nowhere, revealing a Contractor intending to sneak around to Su Xiao’s back.
With a thud, the corpse split in two fell to the ground; Ring Break didn’t injure anyone else, and for a simple reason: after Su Xiao had lifted and hacked the Main Tank to death, other Contractors had backed off in fright.
Backing off didn’t mean safety; Su Xiao stomped the ground and instantly disappeared from his position.
"Control him and focus fire, or we’ll all die!"
A Contractor operating a mecha yelled angrily. Though shouting, he actually backed off a few steps.
This roar had an effect; originally disappearing from the view of numerous Contractors, Su Xiao suddenly reappeared, entwined in an energy chain.
Su Xiao’s arm pulled, and with a crunch, the energy chain shattered.
Although only trapped for a moment, dozens of bombardments came from around; bullets, magic balls, throwing knives, shurikens, and even a pair of false teeth.
