32: Chapter 32 The Supremacy of Royal Power

Inside the palace, the cycle of torture never stopped.

Su Chen used [Divine Stealth] repeatedly to kite, waiting for Agale to heal back to full status before reappearing to plunder. With the [Sleight of Hand] passive, he slowly emptied out all the trump cards of this "talent ATM."

After countless cycles, the system notification finally sounded the one Su Chen looked forward to the most:

[Ding! [Sleight of Hand] triggered (Ultra-high probability), successfully stole talent: Royal Supremacy (SS-grade)!]

[Talent: Royal Supremacy]

[Effect: Domineering domain, forces all non-submissive individuals' all attributes to decrease by 20% (No upper limit)]

Ecstasy flashed in Su Chen's eyes. By now, he had not only stolen the SS-grade core talent but also gathered all of Agale's six major domains—Vampiric, Berserk, Evil, Slaughter, Death, and Royal.

The stacking of the six domains instantly unlocked a terrifying control chain: 30% damage increase, 25% defense break, 3 seconds of forced fear, and 50% skill cooldown reduction.

Besides that, [Sleight of Hand] triggered repeatedly, giving Su Chen a bountiful harvest:

[Ding! [Sleight of Hand] triggered, obtained skill: Blade of Depravity!]

[Ding! [Sleight of Hand] triggered, obtained skill: Winter Impact!]

[Ding! [Sleight of Hand] triggered, obtained legendary equipment: Dark Crown, Fallen War Boots, and Sovereign's Gauntlets!]

Su Chen pulled up his panel and quickly calculated the domain consumption, his brow furrowing slightly: "Activating all six domains costs 600 mana per second. Although the combat power is invincible, the pressure on sustainability is too high. I need to find a way to solve the mana issue."

On the throne at this moment, Agale had long lost his past kingly dignity.

He slumped on the throne, his body broken, without a single domain buff left around him. He had completely fallen into self-doubt, muttering to himself: "Impossible... I am the Fallen Sovereign, how could I end up like this..."

After being repeatedly humiliated and stripped of all power by Su Chen, his faith had completely collapsed.

Looking at Su Chen walking toward him step by step, his eyes were full of despair, and his voice was hoarse: "You devil... no, you're even more of a dog than a devil! I resurrected to restore the kingdom's glory, but you've hollowed out everything I have bit by bit..."

His grand ambitions were worn away in the endless thefts, and he no longer had any thought of resisting.

Looking up at Su Chen, his eyes were hollow: "Kill me. I don't want to be tortured by you anymore. I beg you to give me a quick Death."

Su Chen stopped and looked at Agale, who had completely given up resistance. Without a shred of pity, he gripped the cross greatsword and spoke indifferently: "Since you seek Death, I will grant your wish."

As he finished speaking, Su Chen moved, and [Flash Stab] was activated.

The cross greatsword concentrated all his power, bolstered by the six domains, and pierced fiercely into Agale's heart.

[Ding! Attacked Agale, deducted 120,000 health points!]

[Ding! Successfully killed Lv40 Epic BOSS Agale (Scourge Reborn)!]

Tears of relief flowed from Agale's eyes as his body slowly slumped onto the throne, completely breathless.

This long-lasting fleecing battle finally came to an end.

System notifications flooded the screen, all rich rewards for killing an Epic BOSS:

[Ding! Obtained 50,000,000 experience points!]

[Ding! Obtained legendary material: Ancient Rare Metal ×1!]

[Ding! Obtained epic gems: Frost Gem ×1, Dark Gem ×1!]

[Ding! Obtained epic equipment: armor of the fallen king!]

Su Chen turned on auto-loot, and all the spoils poured into his backpack.

Looking at the skyrocketing experience pool on his panel, a smile curled on his lips: "Fifty million experience is enough to level me up several times after my second advancement."

He pulled up the description for the Ancient Rare Metal, anticipation flashing in his eyes: "With this, and combined with the Dragon Tooth from before, I can craft a set of top-tier legendary weapons."

Then he took the two epic gems and socketed them directly into his skill slots. The damage of [Winter Impact] and [Blade of Depravity] instantly increased significantly, and the skill effects became even more violent.

Finally, Su Chen pulled up the attribute panel of the [armor of the fallen king]. Even though he was already used to heavy armor equipment, he couldn't help but complain:

[armor of the fallen king] (Epic)

Level: 40

Attributes: Strength +1200, Constitution +1500, Health +30%, Defense +40%

Passive: Undying King—Immune to fatal damage once every 12 hours, restores 30% health after immunity

Note: Heavy armor type, wearable at level 40

"Heavy armor again!" Su Chen's mouth twitched as he said helplessly, "I'm clearly an assassin, so why am I covered in heavy armor from head to toe? The art style has completely collapsed. If other assassins saw this, they'd laugh their heads off."

Complaining aside, he immediately put on the armor. His constitution and defense skyrocketed instantly. Combined with [Golden Iron Body] and [Vampiric Domain], his survivability was maxed out.

Just then, the system notification sounded again:

[Ding! All conditions for the five-star class advancement quest have been met. You can return to the Class Advancement Hall at any time to begin the second advancement!]

Su Chen's gaze narrowed; it was finally time for the second advancement.

At this point, he had gathered epic-level defense (Golden Iron Body + armor of the fallen king) and all-elemental control domains (Six Major Domains + Royal Supremacy).

Along with mythic-level stealing abilities (Sleight of Hand + Hand of Heaven Stealing), plus the stolen AoE and crowd control skills, he was no longer the squishy assassin he once was.

He packed his bag and looked at the dilapidated palace, thinking to himself: "After the second advancement, my strength will reach another level. From now on, I am no longer just a simple assassin, but an all-around war machine!"
