Glass shards flew, and after Su Xiao rushed into the corridor, he adjusted his center of gravity in mid-air and slashed at the King of the Goa Kingdom in front of him.
The king was facing away from Su Xiao, completely unaware of him behind, with a face full of shock.
The dazzling blade light swept across, illuminated by the moonlight, its beauty was poignant, the sharp blade slicing through the air with a whimpering sound.
"Puch."
Su Xiao's knife sliced through the king's waist, and blood splattered out, forming little blood beads in the air that shattered upon contact with the ground or walls.
This slash directly cut the king in half at the waist.
In mid-air, the king looked at the two legs on the ground in bewilderment, full of surprise.
The king suddenly felt that those two legs seemed familiar.
Plop~, the king's upper body hit the ground, followed by intense pain as if to swallow him whole.
Mouth agape, just as the king wanted to scream, Su Xiao's second slash arrived.
Still as fast, accurate, and ruthless, the blade swept across, and the head rolled out.
"Mission, accomplished."
Lightly flicking the blood off the blade, Su Xiao single-handedly executed a king without a scratch, in a world full of 'monsters.'
To achieve this, both bravery and courage were indispensable.
[You have killed the King of Goa Kingdom, Philip Herbert.]
[Philip Herbert was the mission target, unable to obtain the World Source, a total of 8.9% of the World Source has been obtained.]
[Your Talent 'Soul Devourer' activated, permanently adding 2 points to Mana Value, current Mana Value is 93 points.]
After the king's death, a white treasure chest floated above the corpse.
Having opened several white treasure chests before, Su Xiao directly chose to open it.
[You have opened the treasure chest (White), obtained the following items]
[You have obtained the World Tree Ring]
A ring appeared in Su Xiao's hand, completely transparent, as if made from some kind of crystal stone.
[World Tree Ring]
Quality: White～???
Rating: ???
Description: This is a ring made from Adam's Wood, do not underestimate it, as its material comes from the core position of the Adam Tree, also known as the World Tree, which is the pivot of the Pirate World.
...
This ring has no attributes, and its quality is White, with an unclear description. Su Xiao directly threw it into the storage space, preparing to study it later.
"Ah~~~!"
A scream came, from the Queen.
Su Xiao frowned, the scream would attract other enemies.
Stepping forward quickly, then a slash to the throat, the scream ceased abruptly.
Being merciful to enemies is an extremely foolish behavior, Su Xiao knows this.
As long as they are listed as enemies, he won't hesitate.
People who waver are not suitable for battle, much less for venturing in Reincarnation Paradise.
[The Hunter has completed the main mission: Assassinate the 'King of Goa Kingdom']
[Main mission difficulty Lv.3, World difficulty Lv.6, Hunter's exclusive trial successful]
[Hunter identity officially unlocked, initiating Hunting Mission (to be released in the next world)]
[Main mission completed, the Hunter will exit this world in 30 seconds, returning to Reincarnation Paradise, please prepare in advance.]
....
It's over, after many difficulties, Su Xiao finally completed the mission.
In just thirty more seconds, he could leave the Pirate World.
Although not entirely safe in Reincarnation Paradise, it shouldn't be dangerous unless Reincarnation Paradise wants to kill him, it wouldn't continuously put him in danger.
"Boom."
A loud noise came from below, and with it, the entire castle began to tilt to one side.
This was likely caused by the king's guards, fighting with Klick.
"So, humans can indeed be this powerful."
Su Xiao wasn't afraid of their strength, instead, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He had a feeling that he might come to the Pirate World again, but next time, he wouldn't just complete tasks in a small country.
Perhaps participate in the Top Battlefields? Or join the sea battles.
The premise of all this, of course, is that he becomes strong enough.
As the thirty seconds passed, Su Xiao blacked out, feeling as if he had been hit on the head, a daze enveloped him.
In his hazy consciousness, he faintly felt enveloped in a transparent membrane, traveling at high speed, with vague stars around.
"Thunk."
During the teleportation, Su Xiao felt a shock around him, his consciousness clearing.
"Is this Reincarnation Paradise? What a joke."
Su Xiao looked around in confusion, greeted by vast darkness.
"Zheng."
A towering Sword Qi sliced through the darkness, within which, a large swath of thunder spread.
The thunder seemed to devour everything, even the surrounding darkness, overrunning towards Su Xiao.
"A human? How can there be humans in the void? Interesting.
This power of space-time is quite strong, that awareness, come out! Fight with me!"
A voice with a bloody scent came, indeed, smelling of blood.
Su Xiao couldn't see what existence was there but could feel its strength.
Standing up in the darkness, Su Xiao looked toward the source of the voice.
[Warning! Transmission interrupted by an unknown powerful creature, suspected dangerous creature: Void Swordsman, repairing...]
[Repairing, zizz~, repair completed, resuming transmission.]
Su Xiao's vision blacked out again, reverting to the previous feeling.
In the void, a man wielding a longsword perceptively scanned the surroundings.
"Escaped, eh? How dull, was hoping for a fight. Well, that bald guy called Sait-whatever was quite alright, gonna find him for a fight."
-------------------
The void was filled with unknowns and dangers, Su Xiao was somewhat unlucky to encounter such a danger.
When Su Xiao regained consciousness, he was already in a room.
The room was somewhat peculiar, with completely sealed walls, no windows or doors, the ceiling emitted a soft light, making the room very bright, and the temperature was just right, not at all stifling.
As Su Xiao was observing his surroundings, a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared,
[Transmission complete, Hunter returning to exclusive room,]
[Exclusive room is an absolute safe point, without the Hunter's permission, no one can enter]
[Hunter returned to Reincarnation Paradise, beginning task reward calculation.]

....
Su Xiao immediately opened the Branding to check what attribute points were.
"It didn't disappoint, this is the hope of becoming stronger."
Su Xiao's mouth curled up because the attribute points could enhance any attribute except luck.
As long as he could become stronger, what's risking his life worth?
Actually, the most despairing thing isn't being in danger, but not even having the chance to venture.
Su Xiao was about to use the attribute points, but Reincarnation Paradise prompted that they could only be used in the Attribute Strengthening Hall, a facility within Reincarnation Paradise.
With the settlement complete, Su Xiao looked around somewhat dazed.
Sealed walls on all sides, how was he supposed to get out?
At that moment, a somewhat peculiar prompt appeared before him.
[Yes/No to sell World Tree Ring, selling price 50,000 Paradise coin.]
[World Tree Ring] was the item Su Xiao obtained after killing the king, and now, Reincarnation Paradise was actually prompting him to sell it.
Given the current situation, if he refused to sell, Reincarnation Paradise wouldn't let him out, keeping him locked in the exclusive room.
After some hesitation, Su Xiao chose no, preparing to act boldly.
