146: Chapter 146: Fifth Reincarnation Completed!

[Lich's Bane] (Treasure)

• Rank: 1

• Attributes: All Attributes +999, and automatically recovers 1% Mana per second.

• Skill: [Wraith Shield]

• Description: Constructs a powerful shield equivalent to 50% of your max HP and summons 66 wraiths to orbit you.

Each wraith can negate one complete instance of skill damage.

This was exactly the life-saving divine skill that Archlich Rhys had used earlier, which had given Su Chen quite a headache.

He hadn't managed to steal it from Rhys during the fierce battle just now, but he hadn't expected it to be completed in the form of a drop.

The strength of this shield lay in its absolute counter to single-target burst damage—even a world-destroying single-target Forbidden Spell would return in vain if it hit a single wraith.

Although the 66 wraiths might be cleared instantly when facing high-frequency multi-stage damage like [Lightning Storm], as long as the timing of its activation was mastered, it was the strongest trump card for resisting single-target assassinations.

Next, Su Chen pulled a potion bottle swirling with a ghastly green light from the pile of drops:

[Source of Plague] (Treasure)

• Attributes: All Attributes +100

• Skill: [Death Plague]

• Description: A killing weapon refined by Rhys using the Origin plague of the Undead Realm.

• Once it hits, the target will suffer 300% Mental Damage per second for 15 seconds.

• If the target dies, the plague will spread geometrically to units within 100 yards and can propagate infinitely!

"This is a Divine Artifact for grinding mobs!" Su Chen's eyes brightened.

If he had possessed this thing back in the spider den of the Kingdom of Nilu, he would have only needed to throw one into the mob pile. Before long, every spider in the kingdom, except for the BOSS, would likely have been wiped out.

Unfortunately, this plague was ineffective against undead creatures.

Otherwise, Su Chen would have really wanted to toss one into the Undead Realm; with the density of monsters there, it could probably make him skyrocket to Rank 200 instantly.

He made a secret resolution that once the Hand of Heaven Stealing finished its cooldown, he must permanently solidify this consumable through his passive.

Subsequently, the Archlich's signature ultimate move also appeared on the skill panel:

[Calamity Rift] (Forbidden Spell): Creates a spatial singularity and triggers a collapse and distortion, dealing a terrifying 9999% Magic Damage to enemies within a radius of 180,000 yards.

Cost: Each cast deducts 2 levels from your own Rank.

Although the power and range were worthy of the name 'Forbidden Spell', the cost of damaging the enemy while sacrificing his own levels made Su Chen decisively shelve it. He wouldn't use it unless it was a life-or-death moment.

After taking stock of these, the remaining harvest was even more astonishing: four pieces of demi-god level equipment with powerful attributes, a bunch of high-level Mage skill books that dropped even though he'd stolen them once, and several times the amount of Sub-God and legendary-grade Materials compared to a normal BOSS.

"The wealth of a King-class is well-deserved."

Closing the panel, Su Chen took out his phone. The screen was instantly flooded with hundreds of unread messages and missed calls.

Obviously, Qin Ming had contacted his daughter immediately after escaping danger.

Qin Wanxing's messages were a rapid-fire barrage of concern:

"Ah Chen, thank you for saving my dad. Where are you now?"

"You didn't really go looking for that Archlich alone, did you? It's too dangerous, answer me quickly!"

"Waaa, Su Chen, don't scare me..."

Feeling the anxiety that almost overflowed from the other side of the screen, Su Chen's heart softened, and his slender fingers danced quickly across the screen:

"It was just a false alarm, don't be a crybaby."

"The crisis is resolved, the undead have scrambled back to their hometown, and your husband also handily disassembled that Archlich into spare parts (smug face)."

The reply from the other side was almost instantaneous:

"Waaa, really? Thank goodness! You're not allowed to take such risks ever again, my heart was about to jump out of my chest."

The smile on Su Chen's lips grew wider, and he couldn't help but tease:

"Don't worry, I wouldn't bear to leave Wanxing-er alone to be a young widow."

"Pui pui pui, you're talking nonsense! But really, thank you. If it weren't for you, my dad..."

"You can't just thank me with words, you know? (wicked grin)"

"Hmph, then what do you want?"

"This little lady has no way to repay you, how about you come to Daxia Academy now? Whatever you want to do tonight, I'll listen to you... (beckoning finger) x3"

"Hiss—"

Looking at those three almost provocative emojis, Su Chen flipped his hand and turned off the screen.

How could he endure this? He decided that once he completed his class advancement, he must immediately set off for Daxia Academy to let this girl know what it means for trouble to come out of one's mouth!

Jinchuan City, the Assassin Temple.

The once grand guild building had been reduced to rubble in the great war, and only the class temple, protected by rules, still stood holy.

Su Chen stepped through the ruins and entered the temple with practiced ease.

Although he had hoped to repair the brick through the statue as before, it seemed that such a Heaven-Defying benefit only happened once.

With a solemn expression, he pressed his palm against the statue of the God of Assassins.

"Submit the Fifth Awakening quest."

In an instant, the entire temple shook violently!

A pillar of pure white level-up light intertwined with a brilliant golden divine radiance of amplification descended, completely submerging Su Chen's figure!

[Ding! You have completed the five-star difficulty class advancement quest [Twilight of the Gods—heart of god-slayer]. Class advancement successful!]

[Ding! Due to the Fifth Awakening Breakthrough, all your attributes have been permanently increased by 30%!]

[Ding! You have obtained a unique Mythical reward: [heart of god-slayer] (divine organ)!]

[Ding! Your Rank has increased to 92. All Attributes +120, Free Attribute Points +360!]
