Chapter 160 Princess Leona Takes Over the Throne!
Most weapons had durability, and it usually took a big battle to wear them down quickly.
For example, a level 10 weapon fighting a level 1 weapon, or a gold-tier weapon fighting a bronze-tier weapon, would quickly break the lower-tier gear.
The God-Strike Whip's armor penetration was designed to break equipment.
From Alan's estimation, with 100% armor penetration, even gold-tier gear would shatter with just one hit from the God-Strike Whip!
Imagine this: if Alan were in close combat with Andrew, Andrew's weapon would shatter upon contact with Alan's God-Strike Whip.
In this way, Andrew would be insignificant to Alan without his weapon, regardless of his skill level.
This was the terrifying aspect of 100% armor penetration.
With the God-Strike Whip in hand, Alan claiming to be invincible in close combat was not an exaggeration.
After all, in a direct confrontation, the God-Strike Whip could destroy the opponent's gear. Without any gear, especially without a primary weapon, combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
As for long-range combat, with Alan's archery skills and his current attributes, unless a long-range unit significantly outclassed him, almost no one could defeat him.
This time, besides the blessing of the gods, Queen Susan's quest also rewarded him with 1,000 free attribute points and a Nether Bow.
Adding the reward from Princess Leona's quest, Alan now had a total of 1,600 free attribute points.
[Nether Bow: Special.]
[Requirements: Archer.]
[Effect 1: After killing an enemy with the Nether Bow, it can absorb the soul power of the slain enemy to enhance its attributes.]
[Effect 2: Lifesteal +0.1%.]
[Effect 3: Attack speed +0.1.]
[Effect 4: Movement speed +0.1.]
[Effect 5: Health +10.]
[Effect 6: MP +10.]
[Durability: 100.]
Alan took a deep breath. This was practically a divine weapon!
The last five effects might seem trivial, but the first attribute ensures that the Nether Bow was anything but ordinary.
However, the fact that this gear had durability issues was a bit troublesome.
Now, Alan just wanted to find an Eternal Scroll immediately to upgrade the Nether Bow to an indestructible form.
If the Nether Bow were destroyed, Alan would be furious.
'Stellaria must still have an Eternal Scroll. It seems becoming the king of Stellaria needs to be prioritized,' Alan thought.
The Nether Bow was highly compatible with Alan.
Attack speed, movement speed, lifesteal, MP; these were the four attributes Alan needed the most, and the Nether Bow boosted all of them.
Although Alan wasn't lacking in health, having more was always better than having none.
This time, after killing King Rex, Alan's combat power had skyrocketed.
With the Nether Bow for long-range and the God-Strike Whip for close combat, he wondered, 'who could stand against me?'
Alan said, "Black Robe Leader, since our agreement is complete, I'll be taking my leave."
Alan bid farewell and left.
Now, with Stellaria leaderless and in turmoil, he didn't care what others thought. He must claim the throne of Stellaria.
Because the prerequisite tasks for Chancellor Lorenr and Grand Marshal Zachary's blessings of the gods were to become the king of Stellaria.
Removing his black robe disguise, Alan walked openly into Starcity.
The people of Starcity were in a state of panic. With King Rex dead, someone had to inherit the throne.
At the palace hall, Andrew's face was grim. He complained, "We suffered a crushing defeat, and the king died at the hands of the Ice King. It's intolerable!"
Grand Marshal Zachary sneered, "Andrew, don't speak so confidently. What evidence do you have to prove that the black-robed archer is the Ice King?"
Zachary knew well that for the Ice King to become King of Stellaria, he had to separate the Ice King from the Black Robe Archers.
Otherwise, as an adventurer and the true culprit behind King Rex's death, the Ice King could never become the king of Stellaria.
"No one but the Ice King has that kind of power," Andrew sneered, confident in his judgment.
Chancellor Lorenr waved his hand. He advised, "Andrew, it's best not to speak rashly about uncertain matters."
At this point, Chancellor Lorenr changed the subject. He continued. "The nation needs a monarch. The most critical issue is choosing a new ruler."
A chilly voice interrupted as Lorenr stopped speaking.
Princess Leona claimed, "Ashley is dead, and Lisa attacked the king. Neither of them is qualified to inherit the throne. Therefore, I will take the throne."
Princess Leona stepped forward, followed by Matthew.
Andrew's eyes narrowed as he looked at Matthew. He questioned,"Are you with Princess Leona?"
Matthew smiled noncommittally. He responded, "I serve the king. With the king gone, Princess Leona is the new ruler, and I will support her."
Andrew frowned. He didn't want to support Leona, but only Princess Leona could inherit the Stellaria throne.
Princess Leona walked to the throne, looked around, and coldly asked, "I, Leona, will be the king. Who opposes or supports?"
Chancellor Lorenr bowed respectfully. He remarked, "Princess Leona is the only bloodline of the royal family. It is rightful for her to inherit the throne of Stellaria."
Hearing this, Zachary frowned slightly because their original plan was to make the Ice King the king of Stellaria.
If Princess Leona inherits the throne now, all their plans will fail.
"But..." Just as Zachary was about to speak, Lorenr changed his tone.
"But what?" Leona's expression was cold, revealing no emotion.
Lorenr said, "But, Your Highness, the Night Stalkers of the Demon Lair have established a regime in Stellaria, and the king died attacking the Night Stalkers."
He added, "Now that the king has just passed, I believe we should first reclaim the three cities and drive out the Night Stalkers. That is the most urgent matter."
Princess Leona's eyes flashed with killing intent, but she quickly concealed it.
"You are right. How about I take over as king and then succeed when the Night Stalkers have been driven out of the Cave?" Princess Leona asked.
Lorenr frowned. He had intended for Princess Leona to have command authority only.
However, Princess Leona actually asked to take over the throne, apparently ready to consolidate power in advance.
Upon reflection, Lorenr understood.
If they could have King Rex assassinated, they could have it done to Leona as well.
If Leona hid and didn't lead the charge, it would be nearly impossible to reclaim the three cities with just Andrew and Matthew!
