Chapter 1397 - 19: Goddess of Luck

Chapter 1397: Chapter 19: Goddess of Luck

Early morning at five, Cakbeck Prison.

The first light of dawn was slowly rising. By the wall of the prison courtyard, dozens of soldiers stood or sat. In front of them was a prisoner in stripes, animatedly talking and occasionally making the soldiers burst into laughter.

This prisoner was named Kevin Moore, known as the most infamous trickster of the century and also an Escape Master. He was imprisoned in Cakbeck Prison for involving in military secrets of the Geya Alliance army.

Such an Escape Master would typically never be let out of his cell, but today, Warden Scintec allowed all prisoners to get some air.

Though Kevin Moore was an Escape Master, today he had no thoughts of fleeing. Any one of the dozens of soldiers could kill him on the spot within five seconds. Escaping from under the noses of dozens of Slaughter Troop soldiers was almost suicidal.

The dozens of Slaughter Troop soldiers watched Kevin Moore’s performance with interest, having just returned from the frontline.

"Kevin Moore, I heard you’re an Escape Master?"

A bald soldier stood up and slowly walked towards Kevin Moore.

"I’ll give you 10 seconds. If you can run 10 meters, I’ll give you my breakfast this morning."

The bald soldier took off his black uniform, revealing his scarred upper body.

Kevin Moore swallowed.

"Really?"

"Do I need to lie to you? Begin."

Upon hearing the word ’begin’, Kevin Moore immediately bent low, pressing his hands to the ground, his leg muscles bulging, and his pants splitting from the tension.

Three seconds later, Kevin Moore was pinned to the ground, blowing dust as he gasped for air.

"Simply... a monster."

Kevin Moore’s mouth twitched. The strong man pinning him down weighed at least over 100 kilograms, yet his speed was just too fast.

No one would choose to escape today, with 176 Slaughter Troop members temporarily stationed at Cakbeck Prison.

On the second floor of Cakbeck Prison, in a small single room.

Su Xiao sat cross-legged on a wooden bed, holding a crimson treasure chest.

He had eight hours to rest. After eight hours, he would head to the battlefield. According to information he gathered from the world communication platform, Gulu, Mizaki, Ghost Lady, and People’s Teacher were already active on the battlefield.

The Geya Alliance and the Sun Kingdom were neighboring countries, making their battlefield almost flat, advancing horizontally towards each other’s countries.

If any front line was broken, it could trigger a chain reaction. Not only were the Contractors of Reincarnation Paradise active on the battlefield, but so were the Contractors of Holy Sanctuary Paradise. As for the softies from Apocalypse Paradise, they were quite amusing.

Initially, Apocalypse Paradise wanted to ally with Holy Sanctuary Paradise to besiege Reincarnation Paradise, which the Holy Sanctuary Paradise gladly accepted. Ten hours after the war began, the Contractors of Apocalypse Paradise retreated.

Originally, it was Reincarnation Paradise and Holy Sanctuary Paradise one-on-one, but Apocalypse Paradise jumping in enraged the lunatics from Reincarnation Paradise. Thus, the Contractors of Apocalypse Paradise on the battlefield faced a tragic fate as Reincarnation Paradise turned their sights on them, ignoring Holy Sanctuary Paradise.

With the death-defying nature of the Contractors from Reincarnation Paradise, one can only imagine how miserably the greenhouse flowers from Apocalypse Paradise were beaten to a pulp, even Su Xiao, who hadn’t reached the battlefield, could imagine it. In the first battle, Apocalypse Paradise was utterly dumbfounded. After the first battle, Gulu said on the world platform: "Apocalypse Paradise is like the Siberian Husky of Paradises, the easiest to bully."

The battlefield was lively, and Su Xiao was impatient to get there. However, opening the crimson treasure chest seemed more reliable at the moment.

[Open the crimson treasure chest? Yes/No]

After Su Xiao chose to open it, three options appeared.

Su Xiao had already decided what to extract. He directly chose to extract a skill scroll, hoping to transform a bicycle into a motorcycle depending on this move.

[Randomly extracting...]

The treasure chest emanated a blood-red glow, and moments later, a scroll appeared in Su Xiao’s hand.

[You’ve obtained ’Goddess’s Affection’.]

It wasn’t the ability Su Xiao expected, but upon seeing the effect of the Goddess’s Affection scroll, a smile appeared on his face.

[Goddess’s Affection]

...

"This is truly... an unexpected gain."

Su Xiao’s heart began to race. It was the first time he’d seen a skill that directly increased Luck Attributes. Since entering Reincarnation Paradise, only Fate Redemption had the ability to increase Luck Attributes, offering a continuous one-point increase, temporarily boosting by four points.

Glancing at the skill scroll’s prerequisites, Su Xiao’s Charm Attributes were sufficient, and his Luck Attributes were exactly two points.

[Use ’Goddess’s Affection’ scroll? The process of mastering this skill is quite special. Hunters, please consider carefully.]

After pondering for a moment, Su Xiao chose to use the skill scroll in his hand.

The Goddess’s Affection scroll shattered, much to Su Xiao’s surprise; it was actually a summoning-type scroll.

Rain-like golden particles filled the room, giving a sense of comfort.

From within the golden particles, a pale hand reached out, its delicate skin capable of igniting the flame of desire in any man’s heart.

"Mortal, did you summon me?"

A gentle voice echoed from within the golden light, and a woman, entirely naked with her private parts shrouded by Holy Light, floated in the air. Her hair was a luminous white, and her golden eyes were like gemstones.

Su Xiao gazed at the woman floating in midair, seriously suspecting he’d summoned the Goddess of Luck.

The ’Goddess of Luck’s’ voice, although gentle, also carried a sense of majesty. Her tempting body also evoked a sense of sacredness.

The Goddess of Luck’s eyes opened, and her face was soft with a smile. However, in the next instant, her smile froze.

"Annihilation Law... Shadow of Annihilation Law."

The Goddess of Luck blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering.

The golden light in midair halted, and the Goddess of Luck’s smile was no longer gentle, instead, it was stiff.

With a whoosh, the Goddess of Luck vanished. She... seemed to have fled.

Su Xiao looked at the gradually dissipating golden light, momentarily confused. After using the skill scroll, the Goddess of Luck appeared, and after just looking at him, said ’Shadow of Annihilation Law’ in a slightly apprehensive tone before... escaping?

Su Xiao rubbed his forehead lightly. Judging by the hasty escape of the Goddess of Luck, it seemed that the Shadow of Annihilation Law left her with an unforgettable memory.

Actually, it’s no wonder the Goddess of Luck was like this. A female Shadow of Annihilation Law once approached her, hoping to become lucky. The haughty Goddess of Luck refused on the spot, which became her biggest regret. Not long after, that female Shadow of Annihilation Law left.

The Goddess of Luck took 36 years to recover from her injuries. It’s said she was beaten to tears by that female Shadow of Annihilation Law, an embarrassing event. In the end, that female Shadow of Annihilation Law didn’t become lucky either. She was simply too powerful at the time; nothing could alter her fortune.
