Chapter 67: The Helpless Jester
The fact that the Jester relied on the "Infernal Prison Absolute Domain" attack was good news, indicating he had exhausted all his tricks.
Su Xiao increased his attack frequency, occasionally tossing out an alchemy bomb. The rooftop roared with explosions, blasted into holes one after another.
Three minutes later, the smile faded from the Jester's face. A doubt lingered in his mind: didn't Su Xiao need mana to replenish his energy bullets? How could he use them as if mana cost nothing?
Soon, the Jester dismissed this absurd thought. Such a thing wouldn't happen in Reincarnation Paradise. While many abilities within Reincarnation Paradise were supernatural, that didn't mean they lacked rules or limits. A firearm with infinite ammunition—at least, the Jester had never seen one. So-called "infinite ammunition" either consumed the equipment's own energy or drained mana.
"Is his mana higher than mine? What kind of melee fighter is this?"
The ever-confident Jester now looked at Su Xiao with a hint of helplessness.
"Strength and agility stats are close to mine, stamina is higher than mine... Could he be developing intelligence stats simultaneously? Developing four stats at once? This..."
The Jester, who developed three stats simultaneously, sighed. His primary stats were strength, agility, and intelligence, with stamina being relatively low. This was evident from his earlier fight with Su Xiao—his endurance couldn't match Su Xiao's.
Su Xiao ignored the Jester's muttering, unleashing a barrage of firepower with his black-and-white dual pistols. While the pistols were on cooldown for reloading, he would pull out the Spider Empress and fire a few shots at the Jester.
Five minutes later, Su Xiao was still spraying the Jester with the dual pistols.
With a crackling sound, several bloody holes suddenly burst open on the Jester's chest and abdomen. The Jester glanced at the bullet holes and simply smiled.
Click, click...
The dual pistols ran out of ammunition after five seconds of firing. Reloading would require another five seconds.
"Wait."
The Jester raised his lone arm. Su Xiao leveled the Spider Empress in front of him and fired a shot at the Jester.
Bang!
Shattered bones and torn flesh splattered as half of the Jester's body was blown apart.
Despite such a fatal injury, the Jester didn't die. His heart had been blown to pieces.
Drip, drop...
Blood seeped from several wounds on Su Xiao's body. He was reaching his limit. Earlier, he had been stabbed by Tuanzhang with a dagger, struck by Yilmi's hand blade, and shot by Weini. If not for suppressing his injuries with three bottles of No. 1 potion, he wouldn't be able to stand now.
"We... talk..."
Su Xiao paid no attention to the Jester, aiming the Spider Empress's muzzle at his head.
The Jester was highly intelligent and extremely persuasive with his words. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tricked a group of believers into working for him earlier, nor deceived the Nilapan tribe into coming from the Dark Continent.
This was one of the Jester's skills: Language Master (Passive LV.25).
Unfortunately, Su Xiao had no intention of communicating with the Jester. In his view, apart from extracting enemy intelligence, talking nonsense with an enemy was a foolish act.
He pulled the trigger. The bullet left the barrel.
With a crack, half of the Jester's head was blown off. Even so, the Jester still didn't die! The survival capability of a demon bloodline was evident.
Click, click.
The Spider Empress was out of bullets. Su Xiao put it away and quickly walked toward the Jester.
"Want to know the secrets of the violators? You win, I can..."
Su Xiao walked up to the Jester and drew the Dragon-Slaying Flash from his waist.
The long blade swung down, clean and decisive. The already shattered head flew into the air.
"Don't want to know."
Su Xiao flicked the blood off the Dragon-Slaying Flash. The Jester's blood formed a semicircle on the ground.
"Ah, la la... Just 50 seconds short."
The mostly shattered head in midair actually spoke—a highly unscientific occurrence. The Jester's tone carried some regret but no fear. The pupil in his single eye gradually dilated.
Beep, beep, beep...
An old-fashioned phone in the Jester's chest pocket rang. The time on it froze at 49 seconds. With a snap, the forced-return item shattered.
