Divine Artifacts weren't ratings given by the system, but a definition he came up with in his own mind.

The first piece of crimson equipment was the "Divine Right Candle" obtained in the Giant City.

The system categorized it as a 'Divine Statue Treasure'.

Related to the gods, he automatically attached a Divine Artifact label to it in his mind.

This time it was a Divine Artifact dagger, was it some kind of treasure capable of slaying gods?

He didn't expect that a simple little task could reward him so handsomely.

Fang Hao first set aside the heavy battle axe and carefully examined the dagger.

This dagger had a somewhat unique appearance.

The blade of the sword was a black, transparent crystal stone, somewhat resembling obsidian material, and the edge was uneven, as if a rock had been sharpened.

The hilt was made of gold, wrapped in a layer of black leather, and at the end of the hilt were three golden dog heads.

[Three-Headed Skull Dagger (Crimson)]

[Category: Divine Relic]

[Damage: Level 3 Damage]

[Effect: Transcending worlds and space to track targets.]

(Description: Once the most powerful guardian in the Abyss, it can help you find targets in any spatial location.)

Fang Hao, with a face full of anticipation, fell silent.

A dagger with a crimson rating was only third-level damage?

Third-level damage corresponded to a weapon of blue quality.

This was indeed a dagger carved from stone, or else it couldn't be so poor!

He took a deep breath and stopped focusing on the issue of damage.

He continued to look at the effects provided by the dagger.

In the effects, it mentioned 'transcending worlds and space to track targets'.

A tracker?

This must be how the enemy was able to lock onto Succubus Yezabeth's location.

Just appearing from his own territory, he was locked onto by the enemy; this function was indeed somewhat powerful.

Could he use this dagger to find the blueprints he needed?

The barracks creation scroll still lacked a suitable barracks.

But...

How should he use this thing?

Thinking thus, he rubbed the three dog heads at the end with his fingers.

"Ptui! Stop touching around.

"Don't touch anymore. Damn it, stop touching, your bones are too uncomfortable."

"Your bones are too hard!"

The three golden dog heads suddenly started to move, shaking their heads and shouting loudly.

"Holy shit!"

The sudden speech of the dog heads on the dagger also startled Fang Hao.

He almost threw the dagger he was holding in his hand.

"Don't throw it, don't throw it. It'll be over if it breaks," said the left head.

"The damn Senji Bali, actually lost to a bunch of skeletons," cursed the middle head.

"Um..."

The three heads each had their own thing to say, and it was a mess.

After the initial shock, Fang Hao also calmed down.

This body on the city wall was a Deomn Doll. There was nothing to fear from danger.

Looking down at the dagger in his hand, he asked curiously, "How can you talk?"

"Go to hell, do mouths talk for any reason?" the middle head cursed as it opened its mouth.

Fang Hao was startled; this disposition was quite volatile.

Moreover, the weapon had intelligence.

Obviously, this dog head spoke with independent thought.

"If you speak nicely, maybe we can have a chat."

"Chat with your mo...," the middle dog head cursed again.

Oh Christ...

Fang Hao stretched out his hand to pull out an iron sword from the belt of a Skeleton soldier beside him, and directly pointed the tip at the neck of the middle head, pretending to pry the head off.

"Come on, kill me. If I so much as frown, consider me your son," the middle dog head continued to curse.

The other two didn't speak, but their eyes widened with expectation.

These three dogs didn't seem to get along.

Fang Hao thought about it, tossed the iron sword aside, and picked up a piece of cloth drenched with Buzzing Demon juice from the ground.

Wrapped tightly in the cloth amidst the middle head's frightened expression, there was silence.

Once it was quiet, Fang Hao continued to ask, "What are your names? Think carefully before you speak, or else I'll soak you in a dung pot for a few years."

"We are called 'Three Skull Hound'," said the head on the left.

"Okay, how did you end up with that 'Sen whatever Bali' guy?" Fang Hao continued to ask.

"Our mission was to help 'Senji Bali' find traces of the Succubus," said the head on the left.

As he had suspected.

The dagger could locate a target's trace.

Using the Deomn Doll, one couldn't discern truth from falsehood, but there was no need for the dog heads to lie about these two trivial questions.

"So, without you guys, it would be difficult for Demons to find the 'Succubus' again, huh?" Fang Hao continued to ask.

"Not necessarily, there are many methods for tracking, but without us, it would be hard to find," said the head on the left.

Fang Hao asked a few more questions in succession.

He learned a bit more about 'Senji Bali' and the 'Three-Headed Skull Dagger'.

Senji Bali was, needless to say, a leader within the Demon Legion, mainly responsible for managing the army and invading some planes.

The trio of dogs was somewhat special; they had no memory of their past lives, but other Demons had mentioned they once had bodies before being made into a dagger.

The Demons' ability to concoct such creatures was, indeed, a special talent.

During the conversation, the personalities of the three heads were indeed different.

The head on the left could communicate normally, the middle head's personality was volatile, and the head on the right, besides speaking at the beginning, had its eyes closed the whole time.

Three heads, three different thoughts.

Just when Fang Hao was about to ask further, the head on the right suddenly opened its eyes and began to sniff continuously.

"Succubus Yezabeth, it's the scent of Succubus Yezabeth, so fragrant!" the head on the right suddenly spoke.

Then, he saw Succubus Yezabeth clad in leather armor, flying over from a distance.

Upon reaching Fang Hao's side, she saw the tightly clenched dagger in his hand.

Her eyes also showed a hint of surprise.

"Succubus Yezabeth, I've missed you so much; you're still so beautiful, so fragrant..." the head on the right said excitedly.

"Shut up, don't embarrass us," scolded the head on the left.

Unheedingly, the right head continued, "Succubus Yezabeth, you appear in my dreams every night. For you, I am willing to give up everything."

"Shut up..."

Oh damn it!

That one must be a lovelorn hound!

Fang Hao tossed the dagger into a box and closed the lid, then asked, "Yezabeth, is there something you need?"

"Oh, my lord, the filth left behind from the remains of demons can easily foster the growth of poisonous fungi, so it needs to be cleaned up," Yezabeth stated directly.

When demons die, they decompose into a pool of blood and mud.

Spread on the ground, they look like a layer of fungal carpet.

"Right, let the Skeleton soldiers take care of the cleanup, then burn it all with fire."

"Understood, my lord," Yezabeth turned and left, not bringing up the matter of the dagger at all.

Fang Hao didn't continue to pay attention to the dagger, instead, he glanced at another weapon, a double-bladed battle axe.

[Fierce Tusk Battle Axe (Orange)]

[Category: Double-bladed Battle Axe]

[Damage: Level 5 Damage]

[Effects: Strength +50%, Speed +20%.]

(Description: A roughly forged and fierce-looking battle axe that has aided its owners in establishing formidable military achievements.)

That was the double-bladed battle axe dropped by a Demon Hero.

The orange attributes and effects—increasing strength and speed—were very practical.

There weren't many heroes within his territory who could wield such a battle axe.

The Dark Gold Hero - Ancient Blood Servant, did use long-hafted, double-bladed battle axes, but he was in the form of a Giant, and this weapon was just a slightly oversized battle axe for a regular person.

Not suitable for giants at all.

The second potential user was the Purple Hero, Bronze Bull.

Speaking of which, Bronze Bull had also been an early hero to follow him, shuffled around to handle matters in Orc City.

He could, in fact, reward the battle axe to Bronze Bull as an incentive for the veteran hero.

Just so, he could also raise Bronze Bull's Loyalty a notch higher.

...

Time ticked by.

The sky had already brightened, and the blood eclipse had passed just like that.

The original inhabitants living in the city might have been unaware of what happened last night.

The battlefield was quickly prepared.

A large amount of demon materials appeared among the harvest.

[Hard Hoof][Demon's Tooth][Demon's Essence][Filthy Tentacle][Forgotten Soul]...

Various kinds of materials were collected.

Apart from the 'Forgotten Soul,' these demonic materials really weren't of much use.

It was almost the same as not having them at all.

As for the collected demonic equipment, it was brought directly to the open space next to the dismantling furnace.

All to be dismantled.

...

After a busy flurry of activity,

It was eight in the morning.

A system notification sounded in his ear.

[Congratulations, Lord, for successfully completing the Blood Moon Disaster task.]

[Reward Issued: Influence in all factions +1000, one Dark Gold treasure, one Orange treasure, an invitation to the Demon Faction +1, Demon Stone +500, Warfire Coin +2000.]

The rewards looked pretty good.

Two treasures were awarded, one Dark Gold and one Orange.

That's how system tasks were; as the difficulty increased, so did the rewards.

It felt like seeking fortune amidst danger.

Fang Hao immediately checked the first one.

[Crimson Moon Visage (Dark Gold)]

[Category: Mask]

[Effect: All attributes +30%, Mental Resistance +35%, 'Blood Moon']

[Blood Moon]: Causes the wearer's region to enter a 'Lunar Eclipse' state, where the wearer's Magic Recovery is increased by +80%.

(Description: When the crimson moon shrouds the land, disaster is born.)

What a find, a Dark Gold mask.

Fang Hao examined it in his hands, the mask itself had no distinctive features, palm-sized with no nose or mouth, just a crimson circle at the brow representing a moon.

This piece of equipment was quite remarkable.

The effect of all attributes increased by 30%, and mental resistance by 35% was already very strong.

An increase in 'all attributes' was not limited to one single attribute—it enhanced each and every one.

Mental resistance was also great, capable of reducing the impact of negative mental states.

Additionally, it had a "Blood Moon" effect attached.

It could turn day into night at any time, entering a lunar eclipse state where magic recovery is boosted by a whopping 80%.

This made Fang Hao think of who would be best suited for the mask.

Rolana...

Not to mention her Demigod attributes and priority in resource allocation.

Within her own abilities, she had the skill called "Moon Walker."

Simply put, Rolana becomes fiercer under moonlight.

Wearing the mask and gaining +80% magic recovery during a lunar eclipse, combined with Moon Walker's +50% recovery...

What difference would that make from not consuming any magic power at all?

Magic power pouring out continuously.

It was perfect for Rolana.

He set the mask aside for now and Fang Hao continued to examine the second treasure.

A ring.

[Eye Demon Ring (Orange)]

[Category: Ring]

[Effect: Mental skills +35%, Summons Eye Demon]

[Summons Eye Demon]: Summons a small Eye Demon to assist in battle, possessing 50% of the summoner's attributes, capable of using stun, fear, and other mental skills.

(Description: The Eye Demon seeks its master to follow.)

The ring enhanced mental skills by a substantial amount—35%.

And it also came with a summoning ability, to summon an Eye Demon.

Although Fang Hao wasn't sure exactly what it was, things with 'demon' in their names were usually related to demons.

And those related to demons generally weren't very... pleasant looking.

Of course, Succubi were the exception.

Fang Hao thought briefly—the heroes with mental skills were two: Domina, with her Spider's Eye skill, classified as a mental skill.

The other was the new addition, Succubus Yezabeth.

It seemed more fitting for 'Yezabeth,' and he could give it to her, effectively boosting her Loyalty as well.

The last item.

[Demon Faction Invitation]

(Description: A grand demon duke invites you to join the Demon Faction.)

Holy shit...
