173. Soul Eater Dagger
In the dimly lit room, a young man who looked frail but had bright eyes was sitting on the bed, looking at another young man who had taken a few steps back with a mocking look on his face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, compared to the one who was leaning on the bed, the young man standing a few steps away from the wooden bed had a pale face and a frowning brow, as if he was enduring some pain. But it was no wonder that he had such an expression, his right hand showed a strange twist below the elbow, a white hand bone broke through the skin, and the blood not only stained his shirt red, but also continued to drip down the cuffs to the ground; And his left hand, the four fingers that were put together also showed a strange distortion, as if they had been directly shattered by something.
Sean played with the black dagger that fell on the bed, but his eyes did not leave the other party, although his strength was now half damaged, but the powerhouse of the Golden Realm wanted to kill him, which really looked down on him as a strong man who mastered the power of the law.
"Soul Eater dagger." Sean chuckled, his voice was very weak, but this seemingly sickly tone fell on the ears of this demon killer, but it made him feel extremely panicked, "You demon descendants are really willing to pay a lot of money." …… I've heard that your entire demon race has less than twenty Soul Eater daggers that have been preserved so far, and you are willing to spend one on me, and Dorne seems to have spent a lot of money. ”
The Demon Slayer's face didn't change, but there was a subtle flicker in his eyes when he heard Sean say the words "Soul Eater Dagger".
Although the glimmer of his eyes was fleeting, it was clearly captured by Sean.
The Soul Eater dagger, it may seem tacky to look at, but it's a true legendary weapon.
Back then, in the game, such a short dagger could almost sell for millions of credits, and if it was in a special period, it could even grab as much as 20 or 30 million, except for those overlord-level guilds, ordinary people couldn't play this thing at all.
And the reason why the Soul Eater Short Dagger has such an exaggerated price is also closely related to the anti-heaven effect of this thing.
Any piece of Legendary level equipment will inevitably have a series of earth-shattering attributes, and the increase in various abilities is not low.
But that's not the case with the Soul Eater dagger.
This dagger belongs to the general weapon type, which means that no matter what class people hold this weapon, they can use it as a dagger - but the general weapon naturally does not have the effect of the exclusive weapon.
Like Sean's Black King, it is marked as a "sword weapon" in terms of weapon attributes, and such weapons will have additional hidden attribute bonuses in stabbing, picking, and slashing. Knife weapons, on the other hand, are in terms of chopping and chopping; As for the long weapons, they have a bonus to the attack range and so on. This type of weapon with a special concealment bonus is an exclusive weapon, while a general-purpose weapon will not have such an attribute bonus, and can be used by anyone - even a mage can use this dagger to stab someone, but there will be no additional concealment effect.
And in terms of attack power, this dagger doesn't look like the power of a legendary weapon, and it's probably no different from a regular tabula rasa.
If that's all there is to it, it's not a legendary weapon at all.
But this weapon has two attributes that are absolutely against the sky: the same level of sharp ignorance; Divinity is death.
The so-called sharp ignorance of the same level means that the defense props of the same level cannot resist the attack of this Soul Eater dagger, which is equivalent to an absolute defense-breaking effect.
What is the concept of "equivalence"?
Like Legendary, Epic, and Mythic, these three levels are all equipment of the Legendary level. So in other words, unless Sean is wearing artifact-level armor, he can't block the attack of the Soul Eater dagger at all, and he is 100% piercing something.
As for instant death, it is easier to understand: this is a mortal attribute.
But in general, no matter what kind of person you are, even if it is a Warcraft, you will definitely have a certain amount of instant death resistance, especially after the increase in strength and level, this resistance will naturally become greater and greater. However, the "divinity is death" of the Soul Eater Dagger completely erases the setting of instant death resistance, basically no matter what kind of top-level existence, even if it is a god, as long as you are stabbed by the Soul Eater Dagger, you will have to die on the spot.
It's these two things that make this piece of equipment sell for an incredible price in the game. However, this thing is a one-time consumable, as long as it is used once, this short dagger will be directly shattered and cannot be used anymore.
But in any case, as long as you find the right time to stab the boss, you can directly touch the corpse and divide the equipment - in fact, it was because some players did this in the game that the price of the Soul Eater Dagger is extremely staggering. However, it is a pity that this dagger has only flowed out of the underworld for more than ten years in the game at that time, except for the first one that was used to verify the effect, the second one sold for a high price of 19 million credits, and the third one only sold for more than 8 million credits.
The reason why the second one was auctioned at such an ungodly price was purely because a player got the coordinates of a divine beast's habitat at that time, and then ran to kill the divine beast. However, at that time, the level of players was generally not high, so the members of the guild that photographed the Soul Eater Dagger died an average of thirteen times each, and they still failed to kill the divine beast.
When Sean recruited Harding to his command, he took advantage of the news about the Soul Eater Dagger, and learned that the entire demon race would not exceed twenty at most. Usually they will only use this kind of killing weapon when they are targeting some extremely powerful special powerhouses, but the Soul Eater Dagger is a consumable item with one less handful, so the Demon Clan does not dare to use it all, otherwise it will lose enough deterrent, and it will be difficult for the Demon Clan to survive in the underground world.
"Tell me, Dorne. What a cost did Giovanni have to pay for your Soul Eater dagger? Sean sneered, he learned from Harding's mouth that the Soul Eater Dagger is the core secret belonging to the Demon Descendants, except for a king like him who used to be a relatively high-status king, ordinary people don't know the existence of this thing at all, so the person in front of him who can take the Soul Eater Dagger to assassinate himself must also be a declining Demon King.
However, the biggest difference between him and Harding, the exiled Demon King, is that he has the Soul Eater dagger, while Harding does not.
"Survival." The Demon Slayer knew that he had no choice, and his voice was a little hoarse and low, and of course, there was a depression that could not be concealed.
Sean's brow furrowed slightly.
The survival space of the demon clan is not large, because the territory they occupy is very desolate and difficult, coupled with the special situation of their clan, so the survival problem of the demon clan is very big. In this respect, the Demons have some similarities with the Northlanders, except that they are not as gentle as the Northlanders and have infinite hopes and desires for life, and these extremely angry creatures think about how to conquer the world again every day.
However, with the emergence of demons like Hatting, who crave peace and friendliness, there is now a split within the Demonic race.
So as soon as Sean heard it, he knew what the king of a certain demon race in front of him meant by "survival". Nothing more than Dorne. Giovanni divided an area in his territory for this group, exchanging living space for the other party's allegiance, and as the target of the nomination, it was naturally himself.
"Is this Soul Eater a dagger handed down by your clan, or did you steal it?" Sean asked.
The Demon Descendants, there are less than twenty Soul Eater daggers preserved today, and this is still counting the fact that Harding has not consumed anything in the years he has been in the surface world. And in front of such a demon who had to sell himself for the sake of the survival space of the race, Sean found it hard to believe that the other party was a huge race with the Soul Eater dagger.
"We're defeated." The demon descendant lowered his head, his face looked extremely helpless, "The former patriarch led us to join this holy war, but we ...... Those who follow lose, so we also lose a lot. …… I didn't have a choice, and I didn't know how to lead my people forward. ”
"Where are all your people now?"
The demon sneered, and his face turned hideous, and he looked at Sean with unconcealable hatred and anger.
"I don't intend to wipe out your race." Seeing the other party's expression, Sean couldn't help but think of Harding, "If your clan hasn't fallen into Dorne's hands yet, then let's negotiate a deal." …… I can bring shelter to your people, ensure their reproduction, and even give you a territory to live in, but on the condition that your people will always be loyal to me. ”
The resentment on the demon's face gradually subsided, replaced by a serious face: "Your Excellency is serious? ”
"I'm never joking." Sean said indifferently, "I believe that when you came to assassinate me, you had already figured out my identity, and you should have known that I was not from the underworld." If you are loyal to me, then you should know that if I return to the surface one day, your people will also leave with me. So you'd better think about it before answering. ”
"Can't you stay underground?"
"In the surface world, there are also many demons who have been exiled by your own people." Sean glanced at the other party, and then spoke, "I have a demon king under my command who has been exiled by you, and he is doing well now, and there is no big problem. …… Let's put it this way, I also have a business of my own in the surface world, and a full-time killer like you is exactly the strength I need most. ”
Sean wasn't joking.
The Demon Descendant is the strongest assassin in the Miracle Continent, and this is not a joke.
Because in the dark environment, the combat effectiveness they show is more than several times higher than normal. Of course, at the cost of them being a bunch of waste where there is sunlight.
But killers are never creatures that walk in the sun, and shadows are their destination.
With the gradual expansion of the Void Realm, the killers and spies trained every year are obviously unable to keep up with the progress, and before Sean enters the Underworld, the Void Realm often requires Rupees to run several places. Even if there are ghost boys and Wendy joining, and even the dozen or so demon clansmen brought by Harding, it is still a drop in the ocean for the Void Realm.
Therefore, if you can gain the allegiance of a demon race in the underworld, even if the scale of this race is not large enough, these natural assassins are still a boost for the Void Realm. So if possible, Sean naturally didn't want to miss such an opportunity to win over the demons, especially since he had heard Harding say that the races that kept the Soul Eater dagger must be the strongest races in the demon races, and their bloodlines all contained relatively special abilities.
"Can I ask another question, then?" The demonic killer was clearly a little moved.
"Say it." Sean nodded.
"Since you have a part of your inheritance in the surface world, are our races loyal to you, or to your inheritance?"
Hearing the other party's words, Sean understood what the demon descendant meant.
To be loyal to him is to be loyal to another strong man, and it is not a shame for the underground world that pays attention to the law of the jungle. And once Sean dies, then their race can also be freed, and when the time comes, they will have the autonomy to continue living in the surface world or return to the underground world.
But if you are loyal to his inheritance, it is equivalent to being loyal to Sean's descendants, not to mention the demon descendants, even for any race in the underworld, it is a shame, unless it is the kind of race that is really cornered, no race in the underworld will agree to such harsh conditions.
Don't look at Sean's current relationship with Roticamas and Serena seems to be on good terms, if there is a little Sean falling, Rrotikabas may continue to maintain the alliance in the face of Cecilia and others, but if even Cecilia, William, Hela, these old friends of Roticamas are dead, then Rottikabas will definitely not care about his descendants.
This is the reality of the underworld.
Merely......
Will Sean fall so easily?
Sean smiled: "Loyal to me, of course." If one day I fall, then you will be free. ”
The demon descended to one knee as a courtesy of the people of the underworld to show allegiance. (To be continued.) )
