Chapter 3: All your abnormal attribute resistances are temporarily increased by 70 points.
[Tip: When Xianlulu is attached to you, she can use the ability "Psychic Revival (Active, lv.80)" to immediately restore 25% of your maximum health, and over the next 6 seconds, increase your movement and dash speed (this boost follows a diminishing pattern, starting at 70% increased movement and dash speed, decreasing by 10% each second until the buff ends).]
[The mana cost of this skill is determined by the amount restored each time it is used.]
[The cooldown of this skill was originally 180 seconds, but has been reduced to 7.2 seconds.]
A flood of prompts appeared before Su Xiao's eyes. Besides these buffs, Xianlulu had other abilities, but they leaned more towards control and restraint. However, since the powerful enemies Su Xiao faced were far too strong for Xianlulu, these control abilities were practically useless. "Psychic Revival" was the most practical.
Still, "Psychic Revival" wasn't as invincible as it seemed. The cooldown was indeed short, and the recovery amount was ridiculous, but in return, restoring 25% of Su Xiao's maximum health—which temporarily reached 820,000—required Xianlulu to consume a massive amount of her own body energy. The result would be that after a few heals, Xianlulu would run out of mana.
"So... so awesome!"
Xianlulu, floating above Su Xiao's shoulder, widened her cat-like eyes. The fur on her ear tips gradually turned golden, and faint blue flames flickered on her body.
Xianlulu instinctively raised her cat head. Every time she latched onto Su Xiao, his boss-level mana pool and high true intelligence attribute gave her an incredibly exhilarating experience—commonly known as getting carried away.
At this moment, Xianlulu's thought was that all ninth-rank bosses were trash; she could take on several with just one paw.
Ignoring the inflated Xianlulu, Su Xiao took out an object. It was a writhing mass of black liquid, dotted with specks of scarlet particles. Checking its attributes, there was only a short description.
[Dark Writhing (Abyss · Ritual Item): Can greatly increase the success rate of summoning or sacrifice (minimum 35% increase, maximum 70% increase). If you are not worried about angering the summoned entity, it can also greatly disguise the value of the sacrifice and the summoning scene.]
Su Xiao had heard from Grand Commander Kane that the Sea Race not only cooperated with Arcane Eternal Star but also colluded with a secret evil god faction in this world. This meant it was no longer a personal grudge but a matter of factional hostility.
Su Xiao was a Law Destroyer, yes, but he was also a melee fighter. Melee fighters generally struggled against evil gods, as most evil gods had many damage-type or weakening-type auras. This also meant Su Xiao wasn't particularly skilled at fighting evil gods.
That being the case, he needed to take precautions. Su Xiao indeed wasn't skilled at fighting evil gods, but that didn't mean he wasn't good at dealing with them. When he first arrived in this world, he had wondered why the "Necronomicon" hadn't temporarily left this time.
Not just for dealing with evil gods, Su Xiao also planned to summon the Storm Flame Dragon Dis later. He got up, left the castle, walked to the tram station, and took a tram out of the city.
An hour and a half later, the tram stopped at a snow-covered farm. The farm owner had left in early winter and wouldn't return with his family until next spring.
This place was spacious enough and far enough from Twilight City. Setting up the evil god summoning ritual here should be fine.
Su Xiao leaped onto the roof of a two-story wooden house. After looking around, he felt the warehouse on the right was suitable.
"White Night, are we going to fight an enemy?"
Xianlulu spoke in a semi-visible state. When she was attached to Su Xiao, she always remained in this attack-evading form.
"No, in a bit..."
Before Su Xiao could finish, he suddenly sensed a several-meter-long lightning spear hurtling from afar. This lightning spear was incredibly fast, but it didn't feel like natural lightning—it lacked the wildness and brutality. As the price for being controllable, its power was certainly greatly reduced.
Even so, the lightning spear was covered in magical runes and soul imprints, indicating it had three characteristics: lightning, magic, and soul. Any one of these three was a powerful system on its own, let alone all three combined.
Even more deadly, this golden lightning spear was extremely fast. Without a doubt, this was someone's ultimate ability, and a terrifying one at level 50 or above.
Crack! The lightning spear pierced through layers of space, leaving terrifying airbursts in its wake. In that instant, the sky itself dimmed slightly from the force of the strike.
Xianlulu, attached to Su Xiao, bristled. Ignoring the risk of depleting her body energy, she instantly activated all her shields and defensive abilities, trying to weaken the blow for Su Xiao.
Pop~
Over a dozen shields shattered like eggshells. Not only did they fail to stop the lightning spear, but even the spear tip's aura caused the layers of defense to break instantly, doing nothing to reduce its power.
Boom~!!
A dull thud echoed, and the world fell silent. Half a second later, a deafening roar spread out. The ground trembled, and as the light expanded, a massive crater over a dozen kilometers in diameter appeared.
The intense heat vitrified a large area within the crater. Smoke and dust dispersed, and a moment later, a figure stood at the crater's edge. The newcomer muttered, "Don't blame me for sneaky ambushes; isn't that how battles between contractors go?"
Lightning God · Aige stared at the dissipating smoke in the crater. Cautious, he didn't jump in but instead activated the ninth-rank battle angel's authority to check the damage dealt to the enemy. Normally, he would directly check the kill notification, but since this was a Hunter, he wasn't arrogant enough to think one hit would kill him.
When Lightning God · Aige opened the battle log, his expression froze, as if in disbelief. He narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the log.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands.
After reading it twice, Lightning God · Aige finally confirmed that his strike had dealt 3,940 points of mixed damage. That seemed manageable, but when converted to a damage percentage, this strike dealt 0.48% of Su Xiao's maximum health in mixed damage. Seeing the damage intensity ratio start with zero, along with the layers of damage reduction prompts, Lightning God · Aige suddenly felt a bit of panic—a feeling he hadn't had in a long time.
Leaving aside why this enemy had over 800,000 health, Lightning God · Aige was more concerned that his ultimate move seemed to have only scratched the enemy. Or at most, given them a rough scratch. Realizing this, Aige suddenly understood the gravity of the situation.
