Reincarnation Paradise

Chapter 873: Shout of Injustice?

In the original work, a weakness of Accelerator is mentioned: when about to hit him, suddenly change the attack direction to the opposite of the original target point.

It sounds simple but is very difficult to execute in practice. The person who exploited this weakness was Accelerator's esper developer, who knew Accelerator's abilities inside out. Because of this, they could avoid Accelerator's powers. For someone facing him for the first time, hitting Accelerator was nearly impossible, requiring extensive calculations of angle, force control, and more.

Fortunately, Su Xiao didn't have to deal with Accelerator for now. Whether they would face each other later was unknown, but Su Xiao was already troubled by such an almost unsolvable ability.

Standing beside Mugino Shizuri's corpse, Su Xiao looked towards Saiai Kinuhata in the distance.

Kinuhata was slowly retreating, the bloody lesson telling her she wasn't a match for this man.

Whoosh~

The sound of air being torn apart came, and in less than two seconds, Su Xiao had already dashed in front of Kinuhata.

Dragon Flash appeared in his hand. Using a knife against Mugino Shizuri was unwise, but against Kinuhata, it was highly effective.

Su Xiao held the knife in one hand, the blade flashing in the night as he slashed at Kinuhata's neck. Kinuhata immediately controlled her nitrogen armour to tilt her head aside.

Dragon Flash sliced past Kinuhata's ear, an invisible piece of armour flying off and dissipating in the air, a few strands of her short brown hair drifting down.

With one slash, Kinuhata's nitrogen armour was pierced. If Su Xiao couldn't break through a Level 4 esper's defence with one strike, he wouldn't have a chance to complete his promotion task. Even though Kinuhata had enhanced her nitrogen armour with drugs, it still couldn't withstand one slash from Su Xiao.

Feeling the night breeze on her face, Kinuhata was initially surprised, but then her eyes darkened. Her nitrogen armour couldn't even withstand one slash. If she continued to fight, she would surely die. As for escaping, the enemy was too fast.

Glancing at Mugino Shizuri's corpse, Kinuhata's determination grew. Her teammate was dead, and fleeing was meaningless; she could only continue to fight.

"Super Kinetic Punch."

Kinuhata controlled her nitrogen armour to punch, with jets appearing on the invisible armour, accelerating the punch.

Her slender fist created wind pressure, causing Su Xiao's coat to flutter. He held Dragon Flash horizontally on his left side.

Boom!

The soil beside Su Xiao's right foot splashed, showing the power of Kinuhata's punch. Though Kinuhata's movement speed wasn't fast, her punch speed was. If even a long-range esper like Mugino Shizuri had such quick reflexes, Kinuhata, a close-combat esper, was even more rapid.

Su Xiao's body gradually bent to the right to deflect the force.

Blocking Kinuhata's punch, Su Xiao kicked at her side.

Boom!

Su Xiao's foot stopped about ten centimetres from Kinuhata's side, blocked by the nitrogen armour. Although the kick didn't hit her body, the impact caused Kinuhata to roll to the side.

What is strength? Power, agility, stamina, intelligence, without any weaknesses. As for charm, well, that's another story.

Attack power, defence, close combat, long-range, and resistance to various attributes, Su Xiao wasn't lacking in any of these, with attack power, close combat, and dashing being particularly strong.

Su Xiao wasn't unique in this. Any solo player had to have such qualities, or they wouldn't survive several derivative worlds.

One could say that Su Xiao had no other strengths besides close combat but no obvious weaknesses. It's like a barrel: the water it holds is determined by the shortest plank, not the longest. Having no weaknesses is also a form of strength.

Boom, boom!

The sounds of impact continued. Wrapped in her nitrogen armour, Kinuhata was like a toy, occasionally having pieces of her armour slashed off by Su Xiao or kicked away. Facing an opponent like Su Xiao, who had no obvious weaknesses, Kinuhata felt nothing but despair. From the beginning of the fight, she had been searching for Su Xiao's weakness but hadn't found any. Additionally, for some unknown reason, she felt constant fear, which accelerated her stamina consumption. She was already panting.

Two minutes later.

With a crack, Kinuhata's nitrogen armour shattered. She fell to the ground like a broken doll.

Her hand supported her on the ground, and Kinuhata tried to stand up, but a foot pressed down on her back.

"The turtle shell is broken; there's no point in struggling."

Su Xiao didn't plan to kill Kinuhata immediately. It wasn't because of her cute appearance. He had just slit the throat of the big-chested lady, let alone this flat-chested girl. Kinuhata could be described as having less than a couple of ounces of meat on her body. Su Xiao wasn't interested in such a childlike figure.

"The will of a friend, I can't, cough cough..."

Su Xiao exerted more force with his foot, preventing Kinuhata from resisting further.

"After fighting for so long without any response, it seems your boss doesn't care about your lives."

Su Xiao lit a cigarette, considering his next move. Killing people continuously without a reasonable identity to integrate into this world was unwise.

Whoosh~

As Su Xiao was pondering, a girl appeared out of thin air. Suddenly, Su Xiao's foot felt empty; Kinuhata had vanished.

Su Xiao's pupils contracted slightly, and the faint red aura around him thickened.

About ten meters away, a girl in a middle school uniform was holding Kinuhata in a princess carry. The newcomer was Kuroko Shirai, a Level 4 esper with spatial abilities known for her sense of justice.

Kuroko stared at Su Xiao, cold sweat dripping down her cheeks. She felt that this man was not from her world. No, it should be said that his life was entirely different from hers.

Although Kuroko was a high-level esper, she was inherently kind. She wouldn't even hurt others without reason, let alone kill.

A girl who had never killed facing Su Xiao, the result was predictable.

The faint red aura around Su Xiao seemed to form a beast grinning at Kuroko.

Kuroko squinted her eyes, realising the 'beast' she saw was just an illusion.

"Judgement...not good."

Clang!

With a flash of the blade, Kuroko vanished from her spot, reappearing dozens of meters away, while Su Xiao appeared where she had been.

A ten-centimeter-long, chopstick-thin metal rod appeared in Su Xiao's knee.

"Don't move, or I'll teleport that thing into your heart."

Teleporting the metal rod into the enemy's knee was already a harsh move for Kuroko.

Su Xiao pinched the metal rod between his fingers, clenched his fist, and pulled it out of his knee, blood splattering. He remained expressionless throughout as if it wasn't his knee.

Seeing this, Kuroko's face twitched, thinking the enemy was ruthless. That cold and indifferent demeanour wasn't a facade; it was a natural attitude, as if getting injured was common.

Su Xiao looked at Kuroko, puzzled about why she appeared there. Was it a shout of injustice?
