Chapter 182: King of the Deep Sea! Blood Thirst!

There were Mythical bosses above Tier 3 around the West Wind Archipelago, but there were no Mythical bosses beneath the archipelago itself.

He rode the Amethyst Elemental Dragon to Keerjia Island.

"Little Zi, catch, hold it in your mouth."

He threw a Water-Avoiding Pearl into the Amethyst Elemental Dragon's mouth.

Su Liang also held one in his hand.

The giant dragon dived rapidly into the sea!

The Merman King was only a Sub-God level boss.

However...

Su Liang didn't intend to let the Frost Demon kill the boss; he still intended to go himself.

After all—

Based on Su Liang's past experience, the bosses that could become God-Slayer quest targets never had weak talents!

"Gurgle..."

"Gurgle..."

Entering the water, the current brushed against his body as the Amethyst Elemental Dragon dived rapidly.

A few minutes later...

They arrived at the Merman King's palace on the seabed.

The Merman King was just a small Sub-God level boss, a weakling in these waters.

However, the seabed resources were rich.

The Merman King's palace was built very luxuriously, with even the outer perimeter inlaid with crystals and pearls.

The interior was even more extravagant.

Its style was no worse than that of a First-Tier Mythical boss.

"It's up to you."

Su Liang smiled and patted the Amethyst Elemental Dragon.

"Okay, Daddy."

"Awoo—!"

The Amethyst Elemental Dragon let out a long, ferocious dragon roar.

This was it chanting a Dragon Language skill.

"Ocean's Blessing!"

"Heaven-Toppling Dragon Water Draw!"

Controlling the elements, the water currents around it surged as it first applied a buff to increase the range of its skills...

Then...

It released an ultra-wide-range water-type Dragon Language skill.

This skill had even greater power in the sea.

The next moment!

A heaven-toppling giant wave rose from the seabed, the tide resembling a giant dragon, sweeping head-on toward the Merman King's palace...

Boom—!

Wherever the tide surged, the mermen were instantly killed.

【Ding! You killed 'Merman Warrior', gained experience...】

【Ding! You killed 'Merman Tide-Maker' (Epic Boss), gained experience...】

【Ding! You killed 'Merman General' (Legendary Boss), gained experience...】

Notifications kept scrolling across the screen.

Before long...

This seabed returned to calm.

Although—

These merman monsters were Level 200 monsters, far different in level from the Level 100 Amethyst Elemental Dragon.

But under the single strike of the Amethyst Elemental Dragon, which had become a Mythical existence!

They all died!

Only the Merman King, who was a Sub-God boss, remained alive.

He arrived at the palace and saw the enraged Merman King.

"How dare you kill my subjects, human..."

"This is... a Mythical Dragon!!!"

The Merman King was initially enraged, but upon seeing the Amethyst Elemental Dragon, its expression changed to terror.

Su Liang ignored this boss and scanned it with the Eye of Truth.

Data appeared!

【Monster】: Merman King—Black Tooth

【Grade】: Sub-God Boss

【Level】: 200

【HP】: 10. 4 billion

【Attributes】: Strength 3. 8 million, Constitution 3. 8 million, Agility 3. 8 million, Spirit 880, 00

【Talents】: King of the Deep Sea (SS-grade), Blood Thirst (SS-grade)

【Skills】: Dark Tide Fury, Enraged Merman Bite, Dark Current Impact, Dark Water Wave Slash, Merman Shark Form...

【Introduction】: The King of Mermen in the deep sea, incredibly greedy, whose slaughter and appetite can never be filled.

"Blood Thirst" (SS-grade): HP +100%, life steal +20%, when HP is below 25%, gain life steal +50%, movement speed +500% when chasing prey below 50% HP, attack speed +500%.

Mermen have great strength, fast speed, and decent constitution.

It's just that their spirit is a bit lacking.

Seeing the talents, Su Liang's eyes were filled with greed.

Sure enough!

Another monster with dual SS-grade talents.

As a quest monster for a God-Slayer, none of them were simple.

Watching the Merman King turn and flee.

"Chasing me? You want to leave with my talents?"

Su Liang took out the Ancient Brick and rode the Amethyst Elemental Dragon to swoop down.

"Flying Brick Throw!"

He locked on and threw the brick directly.

Undodgeable, automatic tracking...

The Merman King had talent and racial bonuses, making it extremely fast in the water.

Unfortunately, it couldn't shake off the Ancient Brick!

Two seconds later...

Pang Cang—!!!

The Ancient Brick smashed directly into the back of Merman King Black Tooth's head.

The sound was very crisp.

According to Su Liang's appraisal, this Merman King's skull was definitely a good skull!

The Amethyst Elemental Dragon approached accordingly.

"Frost Clone!"

Su Liang and his clone swung their bricks and smashed them fiercely against the back of the Merman King's head.

"Brick to the Head!"

"Brick to the Head!"

"Brick to the Head!"

"Brick to the Head"...

Dozens of attacks per second.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang—!!!!!!

Thump thump thump thump thump thump—!!!!!!

The sound of the brick hitting the back of the head was very rhythmic.

【Ding! Congratulations to the player for triggering the 'Empty-Handed' passive 'Pilfering', stolen...】

【Ding! Congratulations to the player for triggering the 'Empty-Handed' passive 'Pilfering', stolen: 'Talent · Blood Thirst' (SS-grade)!】

Su Liang's hand paused; this was going a bit smoothly!

The first talent was obtained so easily and quickly.

Continue!!!

Just as Su Liang continued to smash down with the brick.

"Bloodthirsty Rage!"

Having lost a talent, the Merman King felt something was wrong; its eyes turned scarlet, its teeth and nails became sharper, and the sharp fin on its back bulged.

Speed and strength increased!

Immune to control!

The side effect was that it would lose part of its sanity.

The next second!

The Merman King actually stopped fleeing and was no longer afraid of death!

Instead, it attacked Su Liang directly.

"That saves me the trouble!"

Su Liang's lips curled, feeling somewhat delighted.

If this Merman King's unstoppable skill meant it wouldn't run away, it saved him from having to ride a giant dragon and chase it all over the seabed with a brick.

"Kill!!!"

The Merman King attacked with extreme ferocity, its sharp claws falling wildly.

Swish swish swish swish swish swish!

"Frenzied Merman Claw!"

"Dark Current Impact!"

"Enraged Merman Bite!"

Su Liang let it attack, standing firm.

There was no need to worry about not being able to recover HP from the brick smashes.

Because...

This Merman King couldn't break his defense at all.

Even if it hit the Amethyst Elemental Dragon, it only caused a tiny bit of damage, which was negligible!

Su Liang rode the Amethyst Elemental Dragon, rapidly circling the Merman King and slapping the back of its head.

Bang bang bang—!!!

Accompanied by the sound of the brick smashing down.

The theft notifications also kept scrolling across his ears.

"Roar—!"

The Merman King in the Bloodthirsty Rage state raised its head and roared.

"Merman Shark Form!"

The Merman King's body changed rapidly, transforming from a half-human, half-merman form into a ferocious 3, 00-meter-long Merman Shark.

For a time!

The Merman King became even more agile!

Like a swimming dragon on the seabed, it thrashed wildly.

Unfortunately, this didn't change any outcome.

【Ding! Congratulations to the player for triggering the 'Empty-Handed' passive 'Pilfering', stolen: 'Merman Shark Form' (SS-grade)!】

10 seconds later...

Another pilfering notification sounded.

Su Liang directly forced Merman King Black Tooth to exit the Merman Shark Form.

But before Su Liang could be happy.

The next second!

Another notification sounded.

【Ding! Congratulations to the player for triggering the 'Empty-Handed' passive 'Pilfering', stolen: 'Talent · King of the Deep Sea' (SS-grade)!】

"Good luck today."

Su Liang's lips curled into a pleasant smile.

It was unexpectedly smooth.

In the past, it would have taken an hour or so.

This time, it only took a few dozen seconds, and both talents were obtained.

"You have no value anymore."

Su Liang glanced at the Merman King, which had exited the Merman Shark Form and was still crazily clawing and biting.

All status skills activated!

"Blood-Sucking Thorn!"

"God-Slaying Chain Stab!"

"Shadow-Sucking Explosive Thorn!"

"Annihilation Thorn"...

Su Liang swung Frostmourne, and over a dozen skills poured out.

The attacks fell like a rainstorm onto the Merman King's body.

Puchi—!

Puchi—!

Puchi—!

Within two seconds, countless blood holes were poked into it.

The Merman King's azure blood flowed all over the seabed...

During the attack!

All of the God-Slayer's skills were imbued with divine power.

Causing additional output.

So much so that Merman King Black Tooth didn't even enter its second phase before its HP bar was emptied!

It died on the seabed...

【Ding! You killed 'Merman King—Black Tooth' (Sub-God Boss), gained 248. billion experience points!】

He rummaged through its corpse.

He pulled out a treasure that looked like a pearl.

【Deep Sea Essence】 (Treasure)

【Level】: Lv1

【Attributes】: Agility +100%

【Skill】: Underwater Breathing

【Effect】: Unknown

【Introduction】: A Deep Sea Essence that only forms on the seabed every tens of thousands of years.

The material for the Sixth Rank quest was obtained.

It looked...

a bit strange, with only one attribute of 100% agility boost and the Underwater Breathing skill.

But the specific effect of its use was unknown.

Even the Eye of Truth couldn't see the specific effect.

"Interesting."

Su Liang rubbed his chin.

He didn't dwell on it, as he would know when he went back to submit the quest.

After collecting all the other loot from the Frost Demon King into his backpack.

Su Liang scanned the area.

Frost Demons couldn't breathe underwater for long.

He couldn't let the treasures in this Merman King's palace go to waste.

"Hiawina, come out."

Su Liang extended his right hand.

A hexagram array formed on the seabed, and the Amethyst Ghost Empress appeared.

Su Liang casually tossed over a Water-Avoiding Pearl.

Taking the Water-Avoiding Pearl, the Ghost Empress floated lightly to Su Liang's side, her slender hand hooking onto his arm.

"Master... you finally decided to let your slave out."

The Ghost Empress said pitifully and charmingly.

Her ample bosom wrapped around his entire arm...
