Chapter 66: The Most Vicious Female Law Destroyer in History
Halfway through his stay in Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao still had a few things to do. Before that, however, he took out a somewhat tattered notebook. This was left behind by the female Law Destroyer, Green Gillian.
Flipping open the first page, he began reading its contents. This wasn't a diary, but rather records Green Gillian made when she was in a good mood or a bad mood. The contents were as follows:
Record of Shame: 'Lost again. I hate to admit it, but that old bastard is stronger than me. How the hell does he devour the Demon Blade's energy? Mawen actually mocked me. If I'd known, I wouldn't have saved him. He's that old bastard's disciple, so I'm holding this grudge against him. Did he forget who bailed him out last time in the Demon Clan? Even if we're allies, you still have to pay for that kind of thing. No way, I'm going to make this public!'
Damaged section: ...
Alice, reason for capture: Attempting to gather Elemental Power.
'Alice won't behave even locked in a cage, but after a beating, she's much more obedient. Maybe there'll be new progress in a few days? Who the hell put her up to this? Forget it. If I can't get anything out of her in half a month, I'll hang her from the Void Platform and see if I can lure out whoever's behind her.'
'Fishing successful, but the small fry Alice escaped. Miscalculation.'
Encounter with Ursula: 'A half-breed of an Ancient God! Rare! Precious! Can't bear to kill! And she's female! Same gender as me! She's pleasing to the eye. I'm interested. What to do? Keep her for fun. Yeah, to help her reform, that's the reason.'
'Rejected. Ursula rejected me. The way she looked at me was strange. I have to lock her in a cage so she doesn't harm the innocent. That's right, that's the reason. I've gone to so much trouble to persuade her to be good. With a kind heart like mine, why do other Law Destroyers call me a pervert? It must be their problem.'
'After over thirty days locked up, she's much more docile. After feeding her, she obeys to a certain extent. Yeah, I'll use her as a body pillow for now.'
'Bitten! Ursula dared to bite me? How is she like Sefeiliya? I miss my little lover Sefeiliya. Such a headache. She's a Spellcaster. If she finds out I'm a Law Destroyer, what expression will she make? Ah~, I can't think about it anymore. Hahaha, it would be... so interesting. Don't cry, Sefeiliya. If you cry, I might get so excited I accidentally kill you.'
'Boring. Ursula is completely submissive now. Let her go first, then catch her again, then let her go. After repeating this over a dozen times, she seems numb. Is this going too far? I'll just let her leave. At least she never "sucked" on the world. This level of punishment is enough.'
Old Lover Anna: 'Anna is even sicker and weaker. Doesn't the Death House have a more spacious room? Lousy place. If it weren't for Anna, I would have slaughtered the Death House long ago.'
Damaged section: ...
Little Lover Sefeiliya: 'Found out. Sefeiliya discovered I'm a Law Destroyer. She couldn't believe it, thought I was joking. Until the Supreme Blade appeared in my hand. She looked like she was about to break. Hehe...'
Final Battle: 'I've already forgotten how many Spellcasters I've killed. Continue tomorrow morning...'
The first half of the record ended here, damaged. After reading this, Su Xiao basically confirmed that Green Gillian was the most vicious female Law Destroyer in history.
Compared to the first half, Su Xiao was more interested in the latter part. This section recorded many applications of abilities, inspirations, and so on.
After browsing for a moment, Su Xiao set the notebook aside. He held his hands in front of him, palms facing each other, and a mass of Cyan Steel Shadow Energy appeared between them.
Crackle~
Arcs of electricity surged. Su Xiao pulled his hands apart, and the Cyan Steel Shadow Energy between them rapidly formed a long spear. After undergoing ultra-high concentration compression, it finally transformed into a crystal spear.
Su Xiao grasped the crystal spear with one hand. The terrifying power within it made even him wary.
Bang!
The crystal spear suddenly exploded. Fortunately, the Exclusive Room was an absolutely safe environment, instantly compressing the expanding shockwave into a single point before eliminating it.
Su Xiao wasn't discouraged by the failed ability use. Green Gillian had taken two years to fully develop this ability.
Compared to this move, there was an even more ruthless one. Su Xiao raised his right hand, and a mass of Cyan Steel Shadow Energy appeared in his palm. This energy began to compress, eventually forming a black sphere the size of a marble.
The black sphere floated above Su Xiao's palm. As he held it up, a thunderous roar sounded, and a terrifying suction force appeared, pulling in all surrounding objects.
This move wasn't just simple suction. It was a large-scale energy stripping and absorption, inspired by the Devouring Core, designed for ultra-large-scale energy absorption.
According to Green Gillian's description, at her peak, she could use this thing to drain the magical energy from Spellcasters within seconds.
With a crack, the black-blue sphere floating above shattered. This ability also required long-term research.
Su Xiao knew that not all of Green Gillian's abilities were suitable for him. They were abilities she had developed herself, not from the Law Destroyer's inheritance. Only inherited abilities were universal.
However, these abilities were all sources of inspiration. Su Xiao could use them to develop abilities suited to himself.
Putting away "Green Gillian's Notebook" to study slowly later, Su Xiao took two items from his storage space: [Old Hunter's Manuscript (Basic Skill Scroll · Firearm Branch)] and [Watch Guild Secret Record · Azure (Basic Skill Scroll · Firearm Branch)].
Both were for improving "Basic Firearm Ability." Su Xiao's current firearm ability was Firearm Specialization Lv.40. Although he didn't use firearms often, this was his way of compensating for his lack of ranged combat ability. Even if he didn't use them frequently, he still needed to improve.
He directly used [Old Hunter's Manuscript] and [Watch Guild Secret Record · Azure], and a wealth of firearm techniques flooded into his mind.
A few minutes later, Su Xiao sorted through this firearm knowledge and made it his own. This was the benefit of having sufficient mental strength.
[Firearm Specialization has been upgraded to Firearm Mastery.]
[Firearm Mastery: Lv.5 (Passive Skill)]
Skill Effect: Greatly increases proficiency in all types of firearms. Dynamic vision increased by 36%. Can temporarily imbue bullets with properties (determined by the user's energy inclination).
Bullet Imbuement: Attaches the user's energy to bullets. The energy attached to the bullet will be depleted based on the bullet's flight time, flight speed, attack range, and firearm power. Current depletion rate: 30-75%.
Tip: Upgrading Firearm Mastery can reduce energy depletion.
...
Seeing the data for Firearm Mastery, Su Xiao wasn't surprised. Even at the Eighth Rank, many Contractors still used firearms because firearms had a future.
Attaching one's energy to bullets, combined with the power of Holy Spirit-grade firearms, the power of Holy Spirit-grade bullets, and the bonus from basic firearm skills, the combined power was imaginable.
The energy depletion during the bullet's flight was a problem. The stronger the firearm and bullet, the stronger the kinetic energy, and the more severe the energy depletion. To solve this, one needed to upgrade the Firearm Mastery ability.
In the previous world, Su Xiao had encountered an enemy, Xing Mei from the Holy Hall Adventure Group, a female Contractor who used firearms. She must have been a Firearm Grandmaster, otherwise, she wouldn't have had such strong attack capabilities.
At Xing Mei's level, energy depletion on bullets was no longer a concern. She could even compress energy and attach it to bullets.
Extreme firearm-type, long-range Contractors almost gave up on self-preservation, pouring all their resources into attack power. Within range, all was justice.
Having completed his own enhancement, Su Xiao pondered for a moment. It had been a while since he used the [Book of Doors]. He considered whether to use it once. The Book of Doors still had eight pages.
Opening the Book of Doors, Su Xiao picked up a pen and began writing on it.
Closing the cover of the Book of Doors, Su Xiao began to wait. Before long, the Book of Doors opened on its own.
A page of Treeborn World floated up. This Treeborn Page disappeared inch by inch, and a nearly three-meter-long, finger-thick transparent tendril fell to the ground with a splat.
