Reincarnation Paradise

Chapter 830: Lan Jue's Counterattack

"The Orphan of Resentment·Sis appeared, and Lan Jue, who was a hundred meters away, immediately detected its attributes. Upon seeing the title 'Lord-level Creature' and attributes of Strength, Agility, and Stamina all above 70, Lan Jue's expression turned grim.

When Lan Jue saw the seven skills of the Orphan of Resentment·Sis, he immediately realized that this thing was the boss of some world, summoned here. What troubled Lan Jue the most was 'Soul Infection (Aura LV.20),' dealing 5% actual damage of the maximum life points per minute. 

This thing would cause a chain reaction. If he were to be affected by this aura for some time, Su Xiao might be able to finish him off with a few strikes. If it were just the Orphan of Resentment·Sis alone, Lan Jue was confident in dealing with it. But with the Orphan of Resentment·Sis and Su Xiao?

Lan Jue only thought for two seconds before turning around to escape. What challenge, what fighting to the death—1v1, he might not even win confidently, let alone the enemy summoning such a monstrous thing. What a joke.

"Command: Self-destruct." A large swarm of mechanical bees swooped towards Su Xiao. Su Xiao didn't even look at the incoming mechanical bees; meanwhile, the Orphan of Resentment·Sis had already charged forward.

Lan Jue's speed was not slow; his Agility attribute was inherently high, and with his escape skills, he was faster. Su Xiao didn't catch up; although the battle hadn't begun, the chance to strike a falling enemy was already present.

Taking out the Spider Queen, Su Xiao crouched halfway down, pulled the bolt, and aimed at the fleeing Lan Jue. As Su Xiao locked onto him, Lan Jue stopped in his tracks and turned to face Su Xiao.

Bang! A smoke burst from the Spider Queen's muzzle, bullets shooting out from the smoke, heading straight for Lan Jue's head. "Command: Guard." Over a hundred mechanical beetles appeared, forming a wall in front of Lan Jue.

Boom! Boom! Two explosions followed in succession: the first was from the mechanical bug wall in front of Lan Jue, the second from the Orphan of Resentment·Sis surrounded by mechanical bees.

Seeing Su Xiao pull out the Spider Queen, Lan Jue abandoned the idea of escape because he couldn't. Based on Lan Jue's observation, that was a semi-automatic heavy sniper cannon. Preliminary judgment suggested that its rate of fire and power were strong, and its effective bullet range was also considerable.

After Su Xiao fired the first shot, Lan Jue roughly estimated that to escape Su Xiao's range, he would need to survive at least 5 to 7 shots. Leaving aside whether he could withstand these shots, just the brief pause during each defensive move might allow the skeletal creature to catch up. 

If he got entangled by that creature, in combination with the enemy's close and distant attacks, he wouldn't last long. The more frightening thing wasn't the enemy's combination of close and distant attacks but rather if they both got close. 

In that case, he'd die quickly. Since he couldn't escape, Lan Jue decisively gave up on running away. A mechanical beetle appeared in his hand, no bigger than a fingernail, entirely blood-red. Lan Jue looked at the beetle with complex emotions.

"I am the greatest, I am the strongest, I won't die, won't die, absolutely won't die."

While muttering to himself, the blood-red beetle burrowed into his palm, and Lan Jue received numerous notifications from the Paradise of Apocalypse.

[Notification: You have been parasitized by the Mechabug King. Assessment of Strength, Intelligence, and Willpower attributes in progress... Any failed assessments will trigger an immediate death state.]

[Strength assessment successful; Mechabug King has successfully parasitized one-third.]

[Intelligence assessment victorious; Mechabug King has successfully parasitized two-thirds.]

[Willpower assessment successful, Mechabug King has successfully parasitized your body.]

[Notification: Due to parasitization by the Mechabug King, permanent -15 Strength, permanent -20 Stamina, permanent -200 HP, permanent +15 Intelligence.]

[Notification: The Mechabug King will die in 30 minutes.]

[Notification: Your mana temporarily +3000. After the Mechabug King's death, this bonus will disappear.]

[Notification: Your summoning limits in quantity and variety have been lifted. After the Mechabug King's death, this effect will vanish.]

[Notification: After the Mechabug King's death, you will undergo another Stamina attribute assessment. Failure will trigger an immediate death state.]

...

A sense of weakness overwhelmed Lan Jue. He had used his least preferred ability, allowing the Mechabug King to parasitize him. If he failed any of the three assessments during the parasitization, he would die instantly. Even if he succeeded, he would lose a significant portion of his attributes.

After being parasitized, there were three advantages: a permanent +15 Intelligence, a temporary +3000 mana, and the temporary lifting of limits on the number and variety of summons.

In other words, Lan Jue could summon all of his stored summons, provided he had enough mana. Lan Jue had 12,604 mechanical insect summons in stock, and summoning all of them required 4653 mana.

While summoning over ten thousand mechanical insect summons was different from what Lan Jue wanted, he desired to lift the limit on summoning creatures. Of course, Lan Jue wanted to use something other than this ability. Using it would mean mutual destruction with the enemy.

Although Lan Jue had passed the initial three assessments, after the Mechabug King's death, he would have to undergo another Stamina attribute assessment. In his exhausted state and with a permanent -20 Stamina, the hope of passing was slim.

This was Lan Jue's first time using this ability, and there was a more than 98% chance it would be his last. A bullet flew towards Lan Jue; he closed his eyes, and countless mechanical bees appeared out of thin air. He didn't even make the summoning gesture this time; it happened instantly.

Over a hundred mechanical bees formed a circle, blocking the path of the bullet. Boom. An explosion occurred. Although the mechanical bees couldn't stop the bullet, their powerful explosions caused it to deviate from its trajectory.

Swish. A 17.36mm calibre bullet flew past Lan Jue's ear; he could even feel the heat emanating from the bullet. "Three against one? But not now." Lan Jue took a deep breath; he was pushed to the brink by Su Xiao; as a 'return,' he intended to send Su Xiao to hell within half an hour.

Moreover, if he could kill Su Xiao, Lan Jue wouldn't have a chance of survival. If he fought other enemies, Lan Jue would have a 98% chance of dying after the battle, but Su Xiao was different. Su Xiao was a hunter in the Paradise of Reincarnation.

Once Lan Jue completed the Apocalypse Paradise's mission by successfully killing the enemy park's hunter, would the Apocalypse Paradise let him die in such a humiliating state? It isn't peculiar. Countless mechanical insects appeared—mechanical bees, mechanical dragonflies, mechanical beetles, and dozens of other types.

Over ten thousand mechanical insects emerged from a distance; they resembled a dark cloud with flashes of red light inside—the eyes of each mechanical insect. Upon seeing these over ten thousand mechanical insects, Su Xiao immediately sensed trouble. A few hundred mechanical dragonflies could rupture a counter shield. 

If over ten thousand exploded simultaneously and he was near the centre of the explosion, he would be obliterated. Of course, the possibility of him being blown up by these over ten thousand mechanical insects was low. In a precarious situation, he could retreat to a distance, letting Sis withstand the explosion.

"Ultimate command: Fusion." Lan Jue clasped his hands together, and over ten thousand mechanical insects gathered, approximately 500 merging into a single entity, melting like ice and snow. They fused.

Soon, the over ten thousand mechanical beetles disappeared, and 25 metallic arrows appeared in mid-air—Ghost Bees. The Ghost Bee beside Lan Jue drifted into the group of 25 Ghost Bees, now totalling 26. "I'm running out of time. Let's begin."
