Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 742 - 52: Foreknowledge
The battle on the field was imminent. Excluding Su Xiao, the pseudo Heroic Spirit, there were four Heroic Spirits present: Hundred Faces, Saber, Conqueror King, and King of Heroes. Among them, the Masters of three Heroic Spirits were hidden in the dark, with only the Master of the Conqueror King, Webber Vervitt, present. As for the beautiful woman Alice Phil, she was merely a substitute Master.
Su Xiao leaped down from the wall, and the moment he landed, a thunderous sound echoed beneath his feet, sending debris flying as he transformed into a black shadow, rushing straight towards King of Heroes.
"Hmm? Such speed..."
The King of Heroes, clad in gold armor, was arrogant but not foolish. Realizing Su Xiao’s speed, he immediately determined that he shouldn’t engage in close combat with Su Xiao.
The King of Heroes stood atop a lamppost, looking down arrogantly, preferring high perches. If there had been any other higher vantage points nearby, he wouldn’t have chosen the small footing of the lamppost.
Golden ripples of space fluctuated behind the King of Heroes, from which the treasures slowly emerged.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Dozens of treasures shot out from the golden spatial ripples. The flying speed of these treasures was incredibly fast, piercing through layers of air, aimed directly at the charging Su Xiao.
Su Xiao maintained his pace, quickly narrowing his perception range to increase its acuity.
A treasure entered Su Xiao’s perception range. In his mind, it felt as though the treasure was piercing through a water balloon, which represented his perception circle, somewhat similar to the Nen ability’s circle.
As soon as the treasure entered Su Xiao’s perception range, his pupils slightly contracted, and his nerve reflex speed perfectly manifested.
The Dragon Slash tore through the air. The blade seemed to strike empty space, but in reality, it was utilizing prediction through perception. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Ding.
A long spear treasure was sliced in half, deviating from its original flight path, whistling through the air as it spun away, eventually turning into light particles and disappearing.
Noting this, Su Xiao’s eyes flashed. These treasures weren’t physical, so using the Supreme Blade to devour blade-type treasures to strengthen the Dragon Slash seemed improbable.
It made sense, as manifesting all of the King of Heroes’ treasures through the Holy Grail would require an unreal amount of energy, more than one Holy Grail could sustain. The King’s Treasures encapsulated an era’s wisdom, craftsmanship, and mysticism.
Unable to use the Supreme Blade to devour the treasures from the King’s Treasures, Su Xiao was a bit disappointed, but there was no time to dwell on it, as the other treasures were already upon him.
Ding, ding, ding...
Slashes appeared in front of Su Xiao, sparks and metallic clinks flying as he deflected all the incoming treasures. Pieces of broken treasures embedded into the ground around him, sending dirt flying and dust rising.
At this moment, Su Xiao was about twenty meters from the King of Heroes. For the King of Heroes, this was barely a safe distance, but unfortunately, he misjudged. This distance wasn’t safe, and he was about to pay the price.
Su Xiao’s speed suddenly increased, and the Shave skill from his skill list entered its cooldown phase.
[Rokushiki: Shave: Level 20 (Active Skill)]
Skill Effect: Move forward at super high speed for 2 to 50 meters, reaching the maximum speed the body can endure.
Hint: Each use consumes 50 Stamina Points with a cooldown of ten minutes.
Hint: Direction can be adjusted or stopped during movement.
...
The Shave Su Xiao mastered was unique, extremely fast but with many limitations. His physical attributes boasted 62 points, so what did ’the maximum speed the body can endure’ mean? It was the fastest speed generated by his Power + Agility + Shave ability, limited by his body’s endurance.
At that moment, Su Xiao disappeared, vanishing from the perception of all the Heroic Spirits. This wasn’t merely about disappearing from sight.
"What!"
The nonchalance on the King of Heroes’ face disappeared.
In an instant, Su Xiao had somehow leaped, reaching the same height as the King of Heroes standing on the lamppost, and was already in front of him.
Facing a Heroic Spirit with character flaws (arrogance) but immense strength, one must either not make a move or aim to kill before the opponent becomes serious.
Blue Steel Shadow energy surged on the Dragon Slash. Su Xiao’s speed was simply too fast. With the King of Heroes’ pathetic Agility B attribute, he’d be lucky to react if Su Xiao had already swung his blade.
Though the King of Heroes’ close combat attributes were trash, his treasures were powerful. This guy was like the foolish son of a rich family, extremely extravagant. While regular Knights of the Bow would shoot arrows, he shot treasures.
Golden points of light floated in the King of Heroes’ eyes, and a look of pain crossed his face. At that moment, he briefly glimpsed the future. It was clear he had put away his arrogance and got serious.
Golden light flickered in the King of Heroes’ eyes. 0.2 seconds into the future, his head was severed, an incredulous expression on his face.
Jing~
The long knife cleaved through, slicing off a few strands of golden hair. Although the King of Heroes couldn’t dodge the already swung cleave, he predicted and adjusted before Su Xiao made his move, using some kind of treasure.
Judging by the King of Heroes’ expression, using such a treasure wasn’t easy. After all, he was summoned by the Holy Grail, and no matter how powerful, there were limits.
Having narrowly avoided that dangerous blade, the King of Heroes immediately leaped back. A golden ripple of space appeared beside him, from which a golden sword hilt protruded.
The King of Heroes grasped the golden hilt. Once he wielded this sword, dealing with the enemy would be no problem.
This was the Sword of Separation of Heaven and Earth, an EX-level Noble Phantasm. Typically, the King of Heroes wouldn’t use it, but the current situation was different. The enemy didn’t play by the rules, appearing in an instant for a life-or-death duel, skipping any basic probing.
Such was Su Xiao’s advantage. He knew the King of Heroes’ abilities, but the King of Heroes knew nothing about him.
The Sword of Separation of Heaven and Earth, also known as the World-Slicing Sword, was an EX-level anti-domain Noble Phantasm with terrifying power.
"You scum..."
The King of Heroes retreated, and naturally, Su Xiao pursued relentlessly.
Zing!
The long knife cleaved through, blood spattering.
Splurt.
A severed arm flew up, the hand still clutching the Sword of Separation of Heaven and Earth, which had yet to analyze the world’s rules. Although powerful, the Sword of Separation of Heaven and Earth required understanding of the world’s laws before use.
In mid-air, the King of Heroes was full of disbelief, yet as the severed arm fell, several treasures shot towards Su Xiao. He had just swung, with the old force spent, and moreover, was in mid-air.
Bang.
Several treasures pierced Su Xiao, a dull sound reverberating as he plummeted toward the ground at high speed.
With a crash, the ground was blasted into a large crater, dozens of counter shields encasing Su Xiao. Light blue energy meridians flickered on the shields, unpierced by the King of Heroes’ treasures.
Su Xiao had just gotten up when chains suddenly shot from the void around him. Tipped with sharp cones, they were aimed straight at Su Xiao.
Ding~
The chain tips clinked off the counter shields, but the chains moved freely, winding around Su Xiao in moments. Thanks to the counter shields, the chains didn’t bind Su Xiao, merely wrapping around the shields.
These chains were one of the King of Heroes’ Noble Phantasms, the Lock of Heaven, his most trusted treasure.
Kaka Kaka...
The Lock of Heaven contracted, tightly binding the counter shields into an oval shape.
Within the counter shields, Su Xiao’s expression was not very pleasant. He couldn’t figure out how the King of Heroes dodged his first strike.
The attack aimed straight for the King of Heroes’ neck. Given his close combat ability, dodging was impossible, and his reactive movements didn’t seem like a response based on sight or perception. It appeared more like a premonition of the attack.
Reflecting on this, Su Xiao thought to himself, could it be that the golden flash used ’that’ Noble Phantasm, on par with the Sword of Separation of Heaven and Earth, an EX-level Noble Phantasm?
Su Xiao felt it was unlikely. Setting aside its function, if that thing appeared in a second-tier derivative world, it would be quite extravagant. Even if it did appear, it would be heavily restricted, never reaching its known effect.
After several days of observation, Su Xiao discovered that the Holy Grail World wasn’t like the open-world of the Pirates, so its connection to the higher-tier Type-Moon World was minimal. Reincarnation Paradise likely separated the Holy Grail World from the Type-Moon World, otherwise, the difficulty of the Holy Grail World would skyrocket, potentially becoming an open-world.
Therefore, Su Xiao dismissed the idea of that treasure appearing in its perfected form in a second-tier world. As for the golden flash, the real problems lay in the ’Sword of Separation of Heaven and Earth,’ the ’Lock of Heaven,’ and the ’King’s Treasures,’ among which the Sword of Separation of Heaven and Earth seemed terrifying but wasn’t capable of splitting heavens and earth. What nonsense about splitting cosmos! Even the Holy Grail summoned this time couldn’t split heavens and earth, let alone the treasures wielded by the Heroic Spirits it summoned. Even if the Sword of Separation of Heaven and Earth once had that power, it’s nowhere near as strong now.
In the original work, the mud of the Holy Grail only burnt down Fuyuki City. Moreover, Reincarnation Paradise deemed this a second-tier world, thus it is a second-tier world, with all power systems not daring to act rashly under the constraints of Reincarnation Paradise.
