Chapter 3: Obtain One of the Equipped Items of Contractor 30106 (Randomly Drawn, Attributes Initialized).
...
Scarlet Treasure Chests are different from Scarlet Cards. In fact, the two are not even on the same level. Scarlet Cards are obtained by killing allied contractors, so the rewards are naturally not generous; otherwise, the contractors of Reincarnation Paradise would go on a mad killing spree among themselves.
Scarlet Treasure Chests, on the other hand, are different. These are obtained by killing contractors from opposing paradises, and Reincarnation Paradise clearly encourages this behavior.
Any three quality items from the storage space, a random skill scroll ×1, or a random piece of equipment ×1—choose one from the three. Whichever you pick, the reward is substantial.
Su Xiao put away the Scarlet Treasure Chest. He had no time to open it now; he would have to wait until he dealt with the current matters.
[You have received 5 Reincarnation Paradise Merits.]
[You have received 4 Reincarnation Paradise Merits.]
This was Su Xiao's reward for killing two enemy contractors.
[War Branch Mission Completed: Clear Spatial Coordinates. Secondary spatial coordinate completion did not reach 20%, so you will receive additional rewards.]
[You have received 50 Reincarnation Paradise Merits (Base Reward).]
[You have received Holy Tin Crystal (Rare Material · Legendary).]
...
Seeing the war branch mission completed, Su Xiao let out a long sigh. The enemy contractor was tough to deal with. This contractor named Romon was very strong. As for how he was defeated, it was quite interesting.
At the most intense moment of the battle, Romon used an ability called "Daze," which was actually a heavy strike to the back of Su Xiao's head using an air hammer.
While enduring Su Xiao's blade aura, Romon successfully activated the ability. The air hammer did hit the back of Su Xiao's head. Based on Romon's past experience, Su Xiao would be dazed for at least 1 to 2 seconds, which would be enough to kill him. The golden light orb in Romon's hand was his killing move.
However, Su Xiao wasn't dazed for even 0.1 seconds. He directly used the Dragon Shadow Flash ability to reach behind Romon. After 12 consecutive slashes, Romon could no longer transfer his injuries; these 12 strikes had exceeded the domain's endurance limit.
Until his death, Romon couldn't figure out why Su Xiao hadn't been knocked out.
What Romon didn't know was that compared to his air hammer, the "hammering sensation" during Reincarnation Paradise's teleportation was much more intense. Su Xiao had long been accustomed to strikes to the back of his head. After taking that air hammer, his head did ring with a buzzing sound, but it wasn't enough to knock him out.
Romon, a Fourth Rank Contractor and one of Sanctuary Paradise's aces, died from attacking an enemy's back of the head.
Inside the huge pit, Su Xiao gently rubbed his throbbing back of the head and walked toward the edge of the pit.
The security forces of Red City arrived and began cooperating with the people from Losrit's Eye to handle the aftermath. These people had actually arrived long ago, but they didn't dare to enter the battlefield rashly. The battle between the Killing Force and Losrit's Eye was not something they could get involved in.
Su Xiao sat on the roof of a building at the edge of the huge pit, bandaging his wounds.
Several black vintage cars drove up and screeched to a halt near the pit. A few politicians and soldiers got out of the cars.
"Bai Ye!"
A loud shout came. Su Xiao looked toward the source; it was Skain, the new commander of the Killing Force. Although the Killing Force had few members, it was organized as a regiment.
"Commander."
Su Xiao greeted his immediate superior politely.
"Did you do this?"
Skain looked up at Su Xiao.
"Yeah, I did."
"Good work."
Skain's scarred face broke into a smile. Hearing this, the Poison Beauty Shalin beside him rolled her eyes.
"Men! Drag him down! Send him back to Gakbak Prison for six months of confinement!"
As soon as Skain finished speaking, five Killing Force soldiers rushed up to the roof of the residential building where Su Xiao was.
"Let's go, Brother Bai Ye. Back to the battlefield. You can destroy as much as you want there."
A young man with a crew cut spoke in a low voice. He smelled of gunpowder and blood. Skain wasn't actually going to confine Su Xiao; he was sending him back to the battlefield.
