Lord of the Sky City

"My lord, if I'm not mistaken, this Demon's Fang likely comes from a high-level demon," Monte said as he handed the Demon's Fang back to Rocky.

As these words left his mouth, everyone present, including Rocky, was shocked and, in the next second, their gazes uniformly fixated on the Demon's Fang in Rocky's hand.

This Demon's Fang... could it actually be from a high-level demon?!

The conclusion was so frightening that everyone was stunned for a long time before Rocky, after taking a deep breath, asked Monte, "Monte, how did you figure it out?"

If this Demon's Fang truly were from a high-level demon, then it would definitely be considered a treasure, possibly even more valuable than Rocky's set of Void Magic Armor, but this was contingent on Monte not being mistaken, otherwise, a big misunderstanding could occur.

"I believe I have not mistaken it."

However, in response to Rocky's inquiry, Monte confidently stated, "My lord, although I have never actually hunted a high-level demon, I have seen some items from high-level demons at the Demon Exchange, so I do have some understanding of them."

"Although there are only high-level and low-level categories for demons, the gap between these two levels is immense. Hence, any item from a high-level demon, whether it be teeth, horns, or skin, is fundamentally different from those of low-level demons."

"This difference stems from their essence. Take this tooth, for example. It is clearly a Demon's Fang, yet it can absorb magic power.

Just from this point alone, we can prove it definitely doesn't come from a low-level demon since even the most powerful low-level demon doesn't possess such an ability, and even if they did, the ability would vanish after their death, but that's not the case with high-level demons."

"High-level demons are all terrifying beings with immense strength, and almost all of them have special abilities that usually remain after their deaths, just like this tooth. This is also why the market value of high-level demons is far greater than that of low-level demons, by over tenfold."

"So that's how it is..."

After Monte's explanation, Rocky and the others finally understood the situation and felt that what Monte said made a lot of sense.

They had recently visited the Demon Exchange and, though they only browsed the first three floors, they indeed did not see any items from low-level demons that had any special abilities. It appeared that, as Monte mentioned, only items from high-level demons possessed special abilities; low-level demons did not.

If that was the case, then the Demon's Fang that Rocky had acquired could indeed be from a high-level demon!

With this realization, Rocky had struck it rich!

You must know that he had purchased this Demon's Fang for only five hundred gold coins, a price that was already quite cheap. And if the Demon's Fang truly came from a high-level demon, then Rocky would have made a fortune!

"This is truly great! And if it really is as such, I must thoroughly investigate what special ability this tooth possesses!"

Upon learning that the Demon's Fang in his hand might come from a high-level demon, Rocky grew even more attached to it and immediately planned to investigate it further.

He now knew that the Demon's Fang could absorb magic power, but he was still unclear about the specific effects and the precise conditions for activation, among other things—knowledge that was essential for maximizing the use of the tooth.

Afterward, Aileen and Monte both left the City Lord's Mansion, while only Liliya stayed behind.

No choice, seeing Rocky's excited expression, Liliya knew he was definitely going to do something reckless again, so she had no choice but to stay by his side, to prevent another incident like last night.

And to avoid unnecessary danger, the two of them went to the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion, and for safety's sake, Rocky even put on his Void Magic Armor, just in case any accidents occurred.

......

......

In the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion, Rocky and Liliya stood together, both looking at the Demon's Fang that Rocky held in his hand.

"This tooth, it seems like it can absorb mana..."

Holding the crystal-like Demon's Fang in his hand, Rocky felt it for a moment, but didn't feel the sucking force from yesterday, and his magic power wasn't being absorbed directly either.

"Try touching it with your magic power and see if there's any effect,"

Liliya reminded him from the side at this moment.

"Okay."

Agreeing, Rocky mobilized the magic power inside his body, controlling it to surge towards the tooth in his hand. The moment they made contact, a huge suction force emerged from within the Demon's Fang, as if a giant maw instantaneously sucked all the magic power out of Rocky's body.

No, it wasn't just the magic power within Rocky's body that was being drained, even the magic power contained in the runes on his Void Magic Armor was being sapped!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, so instantaneously that Rocky had no time to react. By the time he did react, the Demon's Fang he held in his hand was already emitting bursts of blue light, just as beautiful as it had been the night before.

"Rocky, throw it away!"

But at that moment, Liliya suddenly shouted and, without waiting for Rocky to react, kicked his hand. The force wasn't great, but it was enough to send the Demon's Fang flying from his grasp.

It was exactly at the moment that Liliya's kick sent the tooth flying when a blue light suddenly shot out from the Fang. In the blink of an eye, there was a thunderous explosion, and a large tree struck by the blue light was completely blasted into the air. The massive trunk flew for a while before crashing down heavily onto the ground, landing right in front of Rocky...

The scene that occurred in the blink of an eye left both Rocky and Liliya stunned on the spot, neither of them had expected such a result!

What was this blue light that shot out from the Demon's Fang? It possessed such immense power that it exceeded even the might of a magic cannon!

And if it weren't for Liliya's quick response in kicking the Demon's Fang away, the blue light might have exploded right in Rocky's hands, and the consequences of that were simply unimaginable.

You have to understand that his Void Magic Armor and the Mana Rune on it were already drained of mana. Without the support of mana, the Void Magic Armor is just an ordinary suit of armor, unable to withstand an explosion of that magnitude.

With a light clink, the Demon's Fang that had been kicked into the air now gently fell to the ground and, as if alive, rolled towards Rocky's feet. But at this moment, Rocky was already too scared to pick it up...

This thing is too dangerous!
