Chapter 1388: Lucky Enemy

The fortune-teller's house was dead silent. The shots did not wake up the civilians. All civilians within a 500-meter radius of the store were evacuated..

Monroe was sitting behind the couch with a piece of cotton wool on his head.

*Click-click...*

Someone stepped on the broken glass in front of the shop, and then someone entered the fortune teller's house.

Seeing this, Charlene, who was 200 meters away from the shop, was so angry that she clenched her teeth.

— He really wants to engage in close combat with the kingdom's agents, what is he even thinking about?

But in the next moment, the anger disappeared from Charlene's face, and the only thing she thought about was whether Su Xiao himself was an agent of the kingdom.

*Boom!*

Pieces of concrete flew in all directions.

Su Xiao held the sword in his right hand.

A man in casual clothes with a short haircut and a deck of cards in his hand was standing in front of Su Xiao.

His pupils were filled with golden light.

This man's name is Monroe, and he was listed as a contractor in Holy Paradise. He was a believer, but he didn't believe in the Goddess of Dawn.

The goddess he believed in was a bit special. She was the Goddess of Luck.

*Whew~*

A card flew out of Monroe's deck. It was a five of clubs game.

— Fifty percent chance of winning, not bad, " Monroe said, grabbing the card and holding it to his mouth. As the card approached his mouth, it disintegrated into golden glowing particles and they immediately poured into his mouth.

With a loud crack the pavement under Su Xiao's feet cracked and he immediately disappeared.

*A clang!*

The long blade flashed through space, but Monroe was instantly gone.

However, Su Xiao himself suddenly disappeared in the next moment, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Monroe.

Monroe's pupils quickly narrowed as he felt a faint tingling sensation at the back of his neck.

The dragon's flash sliced through the air and landed right at the back of Monroe's head.

Monroe snapped his fingers, and a card immediately appeared in his hand. It was a ten of spades, which meant that Monroe would dodge this attack with a 100% chance.

The golden light in Monroe's eyes flashed and in the next moment, it suddenly disappeared, reaching a speed that couldn't be developed with its current stats.

*Whew*

Su Xiao's attack only hit the air, but he immediately leaned his entire body and tilted his head to the left.

A small knife immediately appeared right next to his right ear.

The dragon flash immediately spun in Su Xiao's hand.

The tips of three fingers fell to the floor. Monroe was dumbfounded for a moment, then immediately stepped back.

Su Xiao turned around and kicked at him.

Monroe immediately threw his head back, but his jaw still started to burn from the pain.

In response, Su Xiao jumped back, and Monroe jumped back almost at the same time.

From the very beginning of the battle, each of their attacks was only aimed at vital points.

*Drip-drip, drip-drip...*

Monroe's hand was dripping blood. After looking at his three severed fingers, he shifted his gaze to Dragon Flash.

This sword was very sharp, so much so that it didn't fit into any framework at all.

A card popped out of Monroe's hand, this time it was a three of hearts, which meant that his wounds would heal within 3 minutes. He had all-round skills, ranging from evasion to healing. He clearly wasn't a member of any guild, but rather a lone wolf.

Su Xiao wiped the blood from his face. His injuries weren't serious, but even so, he received an extremely abnormal debuff.

[Notice: You have been attacked by the Goddess of Fortune. Your luck has been temporarily reduced by 1 point.

This effect will last for 10 minutes.

It was the first time in a long time that Su Xiao had encountered an opponent of this kind. In just one small wound, he received a very serious debuff.

Another card popped out of Monroe's hand, this time a deuce of spades, which meant that the next time he struck Su Xiao, Su Xiao's luck would be temporarily reduced by 2 points.

Monroe looked at the two of spades in surprise. He rarely drew this card, almost all he drew was one.

Su Xiao glanced at the shield beside him. Even though he placed it right in front of his opponent, his opponent completely ignored it as if it didn't exist at all.

This guy had a strange, very strange skill.

Su Xiao looked around.

— I've heard that everyone from the Reincarnation Paradise is crazy. It doesn't seem like it was an exaggeration, " Monroe said as he glanced at the corpse at the entrance of the store, and in the next instant, he rushed straight towards Su Xiao. He only said it as a distraction, and the fact that he was looking at the corpse was just a common ploy.

However, Su Xiao obviously didn't fall for this trick. The moment his opponent charged forward, Su Xiao also stepped forward.

*Clang-clang-clang*

Bright flashes appeared in the building. A few seconds later, Monroe took a few steps back, blood spurting from his face. The true damage from these attacks was so great that he only had 21% health left.

The card appeared in his hand, and in 2 seconds, all the wounds on Monroe's body had healed.

Outside, shots rang out in rapid succession. The alliance agents engaged Monroe's partner, and the gunfire grew more insistent by the second.

— Three, two, one, " for some reason, Monroe started counting down, and this time there were five cards in his hand.

The light and shadows warped, and five more Munros suddenly appeared out of nowhere, now there were six of them in total.

The six Munros immediately fanned out. At this point, he still hadn't been able to find Su Xiao's weaknesses, which was why he was forced to enter such a formation.

Su Xiao also looked for Monroe's weak spot, but all he found was that his defense wasn't strong enough, or rather, it was the Dragon's Flash that was too sharp. Monroe, a rank four contractor, couldn't block Dragon Flash's attacks at all. If his skills weren't unusual and powerful enough, he would have died long ago from Su Xiao's attacks.

Su Xiao and Monroe looked at each other, clearly trying to understand what his opponent was thinking.

*Boom!*

Both sides rushed forward at the same time, but this time it was already a one-versus-six fight.

Su Xiao got close to Monroe in an instant, but just as he was about to swing his sword, he realized that the Monroe closest to him had swollen up.

He swelled up like a balloon.

*Pouf*

Like a balloon bursting, Monroe was reduced to a puff of golden smoke.

*Poof-poof-poof...*

The remaining four Munros exploded.

Now there was only one real Monroe on the battlefield.

But at this moment, Monroe was like a God who had descended from the heavens, for his entire body was shrouded in golden light.

The metal chandelier above Su Xiao's head suddenly fell from the ceiling. He immediately cut it into pieces, but an electric current began to run down Su Xiao's sword, directly towards his hand.

This didn't affect Su Xiao at all, but it was a signal. A signal that meant impending bad luck.

Monroe was a contractor who could significantly lower his opponent's luck.

Fortunately, Su Xiao had experience fighting this kind of contractor, but such an opponent was very difficult to deal with.

[

Notification: Since the Hunter is in the enemy's territory, the Hunter's luck has been greatly reduced.

And without Heaven's reminder, Su Xiao sensed it. He clearly felt that everything around him had become hostile towards him. The debris scattered on the floor, the chandelier cut in two, the sofa that had a hole the size of a washbasin — all these seemingly insignificant things exuded malice towards him.
