Chapter 70: Ghost Empress! Another SSS-grade talent!
【Ding! You have obtained Gold Coins x888,888!】
【Ding! You have obtained Material: Ghost's Resentment x10...】
【Ding! You have obtained Special Item: Shadow Gem x1...】
【Ding! You have obtained Equipment: Ghost Armor x1!】
【Ding! You have obtained Equipment: Ghost Summoning Staff x1!】
Su Liang picked up the items.
Aside from a pile of materials, there were two pieces of equipment.
Among them,
the Ghost Armor had decent attributes, a top-tier piece among level 80 Epic equipment; if he didn't have suitable gear by level 80, he could equip it first.
【Ghost Armor】 (Epic)
【Level】: 80
【Attributes】: Constitution +1888, Agility +1888, Defense +25%, HP +25%
【Skill】: Ghost Walker
【Requirement】: Constitution 4888+
"Ghost Walker": Transform into a ghost body, ignore volume collision, increase movement speed by 50%, duration 15 seconds. Cooldown 3 minutes!
The attached skill was also passable.
Although the movement speed bonus wasn't much, being able to ignore volume collision was quite good.
What surprised Su Liang was the other piece of equipment, the Ghost Summoning Staff...
【Ghost Summoning Staff】 (Epic)
【Level】: 80
【Attributes】: Spirit +1588, Mana +30%, Spirit +20%, Output +20%, Cooldown -10%
【Skill】: Summon Ghost Knight Commander
【Requirement】: Spirit 4888+
"Summon Ghost Knight Commander": Summon a Ghost Knight Commander to fight for you; this summon possesses 50% of your attributes, duration 1 hour. Cooldown: 6 hours.
The attributes of this staff weren't great.
Its attached skill was even more of a chicken rib for a mage.
What it summoned was a creature that inherited the professional's attributes.
The Ghost Knight Commander was a centaur knight, requiring Constitution and Agility, which didn't match a mage's attributes at all.
A mage would only summon a fragile knight!
And the mage's strongest attribute, Spirit, was also useless to it.
But it was different for Su Liang.
After going out, he would use "Empty-Handed Theft" to steal the skill for himself.
Summoning a Ghost Knight Commander that possessed 50% of his attributes—even if the boss's skills weren't as perverted as his, it would be enough to beat up Legendary Bosses of the same level!
And!
This thing didn't need cultivation; the stronger Su Liang was, the stronger it would be.
In the future, Su Liang was confident he could summon a Ghost Knight Commander capable of beating up Sub-God Bosses!
Whoosh!!!
The Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon flapped its wings, speeding through the palace where not a single monster could be seen.
After passing through who knows how many palaces,
finally—
he arrived at the location of the final boss.
This was an extremely luxurious palace, filled with candlelight, and the walls were embedded with countless night-luminescent pearls!
It looked completely out of place with the gloom and terror of the other palaces.
On the palace's magnificent imperial couch lay a ghost banshee with stunning curves, a beautiful face, and a golden crown on her head.
Her whole body exuded an aura of charm, allure, and death.
Beautiful and deadly!
"How many years has it been? Finally, another human has come in. Let me play with you properly."
"Enjoy, fear..."
The ghost banshee stared at Su Liang, licked her slender, long fingers excitedly, and her pale thin lips parted slightly.
Unlike the shrill voices of other ghosts,
it was charming and affectionate, like the sound of nature!
It felt tingling and numb!
Su Liang took a deep breath, suppressed the strange emotions in his heart, and ignored the ghost banshee.
He used True Sight to check her attributes.
【Monster】: Ghost Empress—Shiyavina
【Grade】: Legendary Boss
【Level】: Lv80
【HP】: 305.44 million
【Attributes】: Strength 102330, Constitution 305440, Agility 264000, Spirit 337760
【Talent】: Destiny Empress (SS-grade), Ghost Resurrection (SSS-grade)
【Skills】: Ghostly Spirit Body, Terror Wail, Mind Control, Ghost Storm, Reality-Illusion Intertwining...
【Introduction】: Empress Shiyavina, who lusted after power and wealth, was unwilling to die and became a powerful Ghost Empress. She likes to torture targets and takes pleasure in it.
"Destiny Empress" (SS-grade): You are the Destiny Empress, all attributes x200%, subordinates' attributes +50%.
"Ghost Resurrection" (SSS-grade): The high and mighty Ghost Empress can seize the souls of corpses and resurrect them into ghosts to serve you.
(The number and strength of ghosts that can be controlled change according to the Ghost Empress's strength.)
Su Liang's pupils shrank.
Another SSS-grade talent!
And this Ghost Empress had dual talents!
The other SS-grade talent was equally strong.
Combined, these two talents were a ghost disaster!
However,
in this battle, only the self-attribute bonus of the SS-grade talent "Destiny Empress" was useful.
The Ghost Empress's minions had all been killed in one hit by the Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon.
The second effect of "Destiny Empress," the minion attribute bonus, couldn't be fully utilized.
And "Ghost Resurrection" was a talent for spawning troops, which posed no threat to Su Liang at all.
Besides—
there were no corpses in the ghost palace now for her to use her talent.
While he was thinking,
"Scum, how dare you ignore this Empress!"
The Ghost Empress shouted, a look of anger flashing in her eyes; she was clearly dissatisfied with Su Liang ignoring her words.
She floated slowly from the imperial couch.
Her seemingly luxurious gilded magic robe moved without wind, and her long hair danced in the air, eerie yet alluring.
Su Liang glanced at the angry Ghost Empress and couldn't help but sneer.
At this moment,
only 25 minutes had passed!
And most of the time was spent on running the map; a speedrun within 2 hours was too easy!
It was just a pity...
there was a time limit.
He couldn't strip the boss bare...
Uh...
Don't misunderstand, Su Liang was talking about the boss's drops, skills, and talents.
When he stripped the Shadow Mantis before, it took a whole day and night to steal its SSS-grade talent "Devour-Evolution."
And the Ghost Empress had even more talents, skills, and droppable equipment and materials.
With 10 hours, it was basically impossible to get her talents...
"Speedrun once first to ensure the mission is completed."
"Then, grind slowly and see what I can steal."
Su Liang made his decision.
"Screeching Sonic Wave"!
"Ah—!"
At this moment, the Ghost Empress let out a screech, and a sonic wave struck like a sharp arrow.
"Frost Clone"!
"Unparalleled"!
"Flash Stab"!
Su Liang, on the back of the Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon, activated his clone and Unparalleled, then decisively used Flash Stab into mid-air, passing through the incoming sonic wave.
At the same time, he closed the distance to the boss.
Slap! Slap!
This time, Su Liang didn't use Fire's Joy to attack but couldn't help but slap out.
The clone made the same move simultaneously.
"What the hell are you screaming about?"
Su Liang cursed; these ghosts' attacks were too noisy and ear-piercing!!!
Especially since his five senses had been enhanced, his eardrums were aching from the noise.
Suddenly!
The Ghost Empress was stunned; she was slapped into a daze.
The next moment,
she reacted.
I'm a ghost, isn't it normal for me to scream?
"Damn scum! I want you to die!"
The Ghost Empress, having been slapped in the face, was completely enraged.
"Ah—!"
Another ear-piercing screech came from her mouth.
"Terror Wail"!
An invisible sonic wave spread out with her as the center.
Su Liang's HP dropped by a small chunk.
It originally had a fear effect, but it was blocked by Su Liang's Unparalleled state.
Su Liang spread the Wings of the Sky on his back and thrust his sword backhand.
"Blood-Sucking Stab": The weapon is imbued with blood-sucking power, thrusting fiercely at the target, dealing 2000% attack damage, and recovering the same amount of HP. Cooldown: 10 seconds. Cost: 9999 MP.
Puchi!
Su Liang directly filled his HP back up.
"Berserk Rage"!
Water Five Six
Little Three Two
Say Four One
He activated the skill, his eyes immediately turned scarlet, and his attack interval shortened!
Activate skill; his eyes immediately turned scarlet, and his attack interval shortened!
Attack speed doubled!
The next second,
halos appeared one after another under his feet.
