Chapter 66: Chapter 65: Haven't Left Yet?
Watching the Demon's Fang fall at his feet, Rocky didn't dare to pick it up right away because it was simply too dangerous!
Only after a good while did he carefully bend over and gingerly picked up the Demon's Fang from the ground.
And when he picked up the Demon's Fang, nothing happened.
That's what made Rocky breathe a sigh of relief.
"Don't be afraid, the magic power absorbed by this thing must have been depleted, it should be safe now."
Liliya looked at Rocky with a bit of amusement before approaching and glancing at the Demon's Fang in his hand.
"Was the situation you encountered last night the same as just now?"
"Yes, it was the same last night. In the blink of an eye, my bedroom was blasted, but the power was definitely not as strong as just now."
Having confirmed that there was no danger, Rocky finally relaxed and then explained to Liliya, simultaneously glancing at the large tree that had been blown to his feet. He couldn't help feeling scared. If last night's explosion in his bedroom had been as powerful as the one just now, his bedroom would have been more than just a hole in the wall; the whole room would have been leveled.
"So, this Demon's Fang can not only absorb magic power but also emit the absorbed magic power afterward?"
As Rocky was still feeling shocked, Liliya opened her mouth.
Her words made sense, for the blue light shot out from the Demon's Fang was clearly mana, which meant that the Demon's Fang could not only absorb mana but also release it exactly as it had absorbed.
As for why the explosion was stronger than last night, it's actually quite simple. This time, the Demon's Fang had absorbed more mana.
Last night, it had only absorbed Rocky's magic power, but just now, it had absorbed not only Rocky's magic power but also the mana contained in the Void Magic Armor and Mana Rune, which naturally made the emitted mana much more massive and the effect more astonishing.
"So that's how it is..."
After Liliya explained this, Rocky understood and then looked down and thought for a while. After quite some time, he looked up again and began to distance himself from Liliya while saying, "Liliya, attack me with magic."
"What?"
Liliya was slightly taken aback by this request, not understanding his intention.
"I want to see if this tooth can absorb not only mana but also magic."
Mana, magic power, and magic, although named differently, are essentially the same force; the only difference is in their form of manifestation. So, if the Demon's Fang could absorb mana and magic power, could it also absorb magic that was transformed from magic power?
Rocky really wanted to know, which is why he made such a request to Liliya.
Liliya understood his reasoning after his explanation, and although hesitant, she eventually nodded.
Beyond being a Third-Level Warrior, Liliya was also a Level Two Mage. Her control over magic power might not be exquisite but was still decent. Following that, she took two steps back and then shot a Magic Bullet at Rocky.
A Magic Bullet is a First-Level Magic that is half as powerful as the Fireball Technique; even if it hit Rocky, it wouldn't cause much harm.
Facing the magic bullet flying towards him, Rocky didn't dodge or flinch but instead raised the Demon's Fang in his hand.
In the blink of an eye, there was a loud bang, and Rocky was knocked back several steps by the magic bullet...
"Are you okay?"
Not expecting Rocky to actually be hit by the magic bullet, Liliya rushed over and then saw that he was not seriously hurt; the magic bullet had just hit his breastplate.
"Can't this thing absorb magic?"
Seeing that Rocky was alright, Liliya glanced at the Demon's Fang in his hand.
"No, I didn't aim it properly..."
Shaking his head at Liliya, Rocky's expression was somewhat embarrassed. It wasn't that the Demon's Fang hadn't absorbed the magic bullet; it was because he hadn't aimed the Demon's Fang at the magic bullet correctly, so he was hit...
```
"Let's do it one more time."
Rolling her eyes at Rocky, Liliya walked farther away than before, because the greater the distance, the longer the trajectory of the magic bullet and the more reaction time Rocky naturally had.
......
......
In this manner, Rocky and Liliya started to experiment with the Demon's Fang in various ways in the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and during these days, the two of them spent every day in the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion. They came up with all sorts of ways to tinker with the Demon's Fang, feeling as though they had both turned into mischievous children.
However, it was because of their relentless experimentation that they finally managed to understand the effects of the Demon's Fang thoroughly!
The Demon's Fang displayed several characteristics:
First, the Demon's Fang could indeed absorb mana, magic power, and even magic itself. The specific upper limit of its absorption remained unknown.
Second, whether it was mana, magic power, or various types of magic absorbed by the Demon's Fang, it would all be converted into pure energy and stored within the Demon's Fang.
Third, the energy converted by the Demon's Fang was highly unstable. Even a slight vibration, or a mere touch, would cause the Demon's Fang to release the accumulated energy all at once without reservation.
Fourth, and most importantly, the Demon's Fang could only absorb energy with which it came into direct contact; otherwise, it had no effect whatsoever.
These four findings were the result of Rocky and Liliya's several days of consecutive experimentation and personal experiences. Not only did they clarify the effects of the Demon's Fang, but they also gave Rocky new ideas about its potential uses.
At first, he intended to craft it into a rune dagger, but now it seemed impossible.
Because the Demon's Fang could absorb all mana it came into contact with, it was impossible to inscribe runes on it. If one tried to activate the runes, the Demon's Fang would absorb all the mana contained within the runes, even the user's mana, rendering it unusable as a rune weapon.
Although his initial idea was no longer feasible, Rocky had come up with another method to utilize the Demon's Fang. He thought of using it as a defensive measure, relying on its ability to absorb energy to fend off magic or magic energy attacks!
If used this way, wouldn't the Demon's Fang become a top-tier defensive item?
This new idea made him decide to embed the Demon's Fang into his own Void Magic Armor. By doing so, his Void Magic Armor would have a powerful defensive measure against magic or mana attacks, wouldn't it?!
Of course, he couldn't implement this idea right away, as he had been too busy recently. Besides, this kind of modification wasn't easy to achieve, especially figuring out how to allow the Demon's Fang to function without absorbing the mana of the Void Magic Armor itself, which Rocky hadn't yet found a solution to. Thus, he could only wait until he had time in the future to undertake this task.
And in order to fully understand the effects of the Demon's Fang, Rocky had neglected several days' worth of work. After clarifying its effects, he busy himself trying to catch up on the progress of his enchanting work for equipment.
Just as Rocky had begun to immerse himself in his primary duties, Aileen sought him out.
"Sir, what do you plan to do about Jia Xi?"
"Who?"
Holding the magic energy pen, Rocky looked up at Aileen in confusion and asked.
"Jia Xi, the overseer of the Azure Commerce Guild."
Seeing the blank look on Rocky's face, Aileen had to remind him.
Chapter Your:
After her reminder, Rocky suddenly recalled the matter and his eyes widened.
"He hasn't left yet?"
"Hehe, no, he hasn't."
With a slight smile towards Rocky, Aileen cheerily updated him about Jia Xi's situation.
Although neither she nor Rocky had seen Jia Xi during these past days, with Rocky even forgetting the incident, Aileen had not. She had been keeping a close watch on every move Jia Xi made; whatever he did, Aileen knew all about it!
