[Frost Power] (S-grade): Ice-type skill damage +200%, ice-type skill damage taken -30%.

A level 148 Frost Dragon; its attributes were even higher than Zhao Zhao Anran’s, and it possessed nearly 800 million HP!

This is the terror of the BOSS template!

Even with the dual bonuses of her job and talent, Zhao Zhao Anran couldn't compare to it!

Su Liang estimated that he would need to reach the Fourth Rank to achieve such terrifying attributes.

Boom boom boom!

The battlefield was incredibly intense.

The arrogant Frost Dragon spewed frigid dragon breath from its mouth, cold currents surging.

Zhao Zhao Anran was incredibly fast, dodging skills with a figure that was impossible to predict.

As she shifted and moved, she switched between a long and a short blade, her attacks mysterious and unpredictable.

Sword shadows multiplied, and before one knew it, they had landed on the Frost Dragon’s body!

Countless wounds appeared, and fresh blood gushed out!

"ROAR!!!"

The Frost Dragon roared in anger, and its Extreme Ice Domain expanded.

A vast and terrifying dragon might spread out, and the horrific frost instantly covered the entire lair, causing the surrounding temperature to drop even further!

Even Su Liang received a notification.

[Ding! Frost Dragon (Legendary BOSS), affected by Extreme Ice Domain, ice-type skill output +50%, current movement speed +50%!]

[Ding! You are affected by Extreme Ice Domain, attack speed -30%, current movement speed -30%!]

Of course, Su Liang possessed 30% ice-element resistance, so the actual impact was less than 30%.

In the next instant!

Whoosh!!!

The Frost Dragon’s speed surged, its sky-covering wings flapping to whip up a biting cold wind, and its frost-covered dragon claws slammed down toward Zhao Zhao Anran with peerless force.

Rumble—!

With immense power, one claw shattered the ice crystals and landed on Zhao Zhao Anran’s delicate body as she hid behind them, causing her HP to drop by a chunk.

Following that, it unleashed a blast of Frigid Dragon Breath.

Zhao Zhao Anran let out a sharp cry, her curvaceous figure twisting to dodge the breath.

One cannot use medicine to remove negative effects within a domain, but Zhao Zhao Anran’s ice-element resistance seemed very high.

It didn't have much of an effect on her.

[Instant Shadow Soul-Shattering Strike]!

Swish swish swish swish swish!!!

Zhao Zhao Anran flashed to the dragon’s side, dozens of sword shadows slashed out, and the sword light exploded across the dragon’s body!

The Frost Dragon’s massive tail swept out, forcing her subsequent attacks back.

Relying on the BOSS’s heaven-defying HP, Zhao Zhao Anran knew that trading injury for injury would be a massive loss, so she struck and immediately retreated!

"Why does it feel like she’s more of an assassin?"

Su Liang fell into deep thought.

No, wait, I’m the assassin!

[Empty Hand]!

Su Liang decisively activated Empty Hand and flicked it toward the Frost Dragon.

Being able to steal is what makes a true assassin!

[Ding! Congratulations, player, talent [Empty Hand] activated successfully, stealing: [Extreme Ice Domain]!]

Damn, I stole its domain skill.

Su Liang was stunned.

Inside the dragon’s lair, the previously spreading Extreme Ice Domain vanished.

At the same time.

The effect of the talent Supremacy of Kings triggered; Su Liang’s theft of the Frost Dragon caused the talent to treat the dragon as a hostile unit, reducing all its attributes by 20%.

The Frost Dragon, which had been rushing toward Zhao Zhao Anran, saw its speed drop drastically!

It was even slower than before!

"AOOO—!!!"

The Frost Dragon also sensed that something was wrong and tilted its head back to let out a bone-chilling roar that was deafening.

[Dragon Will]!

Blue light suddenly erupted from its body; Dragon Will could remove all negative effects and crowd control.

However...

This is the power of Supremacy of Kings as an SS-grade talent.

Whoever is hostile to the King.

Ignores rank, cannot be removed!

"Vile human ant, what have you done to me?"

The Frost Dragon roared, its dark gold vertical pupils fixed on Zhao Zhao Anran, filled with extreme rage.

Zhao Zhao Anran wore a bewildered expression; she really wanted to know, too.

Suddenly.

The corner of her eye caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

When did he get here?

Neither she nor the Frost Dragon had noticed him.

It seems everything was done by Su Liang!

"Ahem, would you believe me if I said I was just passing by?"

Su Liang coughed twice, pretending to look around nonchalantly.

He hadn't expected that using Empty Hand would exit his Divine Concealment state...

Zhao Zhao Anran was speechless; did he even hear what he was saying?

Who just "passes by" a cave on a cliff?

[Ding! Zhao Zhao Anran invites you to join the party.]

"Huh?"

Su Liang was taken aback, filled with doubt.

"This dragon is stronger than I imagined; I only have a 20-30% chance of killing it. How about you join me to slay the dragon, and we split the experience and dropped items fifty-fifty?"

Zhao Zhao Anran asked Su Liang while continuing her attacks.

Clearly.

Zhao Zhao Anran had her eye on Su Liang’s... talent ability.

Not his handsome face, and she wasn't just carrying him for experience.

(Event period: October 1st to October 7th)

"No problem."

Su Liang agreed immediately; only a fool would pass up a free lunch.

Especially a massive free lunch like a giant dragon?

[Ding! You have joined Zhao Zhao Anran’s party!]

[Ding! Party leader Zhao Zhao Anran has adjusted party experience and distribution; this cannot be changed for one day!]

After joining the party, Zhao Zhao Anran directly adjusted the party distribution settings, putting Su Liang at ease.

"Really is Second Rank, interesting."

Zhao Zhao Anran glanced at the level on the party panel, her beautiful eyebrows arching.

"So it was you, you vile ant!"

The Frost Dragon opened its hideous maw, as if to devour a person, and its massive body dove down, aiming to tear Su Liang apart violently!

[Extreme Shadow]!

Zhao Zhao Anran used an instant-move to block directly in front of Su Liang.

She used her blade to parry the Frost Dragon’s violent bite.

"Get further away!"

Zhao Zhao Anran said coldly without looking back.

"You got it."

Su Liang grinned and re-entered the Divine Concealment state.

Originally, the Frost Dragon had relied on its HP and attribute advantage to hold the upper hand in the battle.

But with its attributes reduced, it was no match for Zhao Zhao Anran at all.

Under Zhao Zhao Anran’s fierce offensive, Su Liang would occasionally pop out to use two ranged skills to steal, then instantly re-enter stealth, disgusting the Frost Dragon.

One hour later!

The Frost Dragon was utterly defeated.

"ROAR—!"

The Frost Dragon let out a shrill, mournful cry, losing its vitality, its eyes filled with unwillingness.

Its sky-covering body plummeted from high above.

"RUMBLE!!!"
