Chapter 212: Episode 19.8 Mage Killer

The mysterious dagger that almost killed Shen Yuan caused a significant headache to Chairman Mao when trying to appraise it.

It was because not only was it a weapon not made in legal and reported methods, but the effects of this dagger also defied the present type of weaponry.

The weapons in the market, starting from the cheapest swords, and staffs to the million-yuan crystal ball Shen Yuan uses, are all made to help awakeners channel their powers easily.

That’s all.

However, the mysterious dagger from the Cardinals is different.

In one look, it looks like a normal military-grade blade made of black steel, but it is actually a unique weapon laced with many hidden special effects.

Chairman Mao used it on himself, and just like what happened to Shen Yuan, his body suddenly went weak, and he passed out with just a single shallow laceration.

Even with the help of several skilled weaponsmiths, Chairman Mao couldn’t come up with a proper explanation of how this happened, and on top of that, his dear spouse even pulled his hair for his thoughtlessness.

Chairman Mao suffered greatly behind Shen Yuan’s back.

So, to solve the problem, he went as far as asking the headquarters of the International Hunter Alliance to appraise it.

And thankfully, after several weeks of waiting, the results are finally out.

"Curses?!" Shen Yuan blurted out after Xia Jinhai gave him the confidential details of the dagger.

Qin Mian’s sparring is still on, but this time, Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng’s attention is pulled towards Xia Jinhai.

Bai Tingfeng soundlessly took the dagger from his husband’s hand, and untied the white fabric that covered it, revealing the lackluster black blade.

"Yes, curses. They are awakened powers that are the opposite of buffs. If buffs enable the users to strengthen their physical abilities and awakened powers, then curses, on the other hand, could cause ailments and weaken the targets."

"Several curses that dull the senses are intricately interwoven in that dagger," Xia Jinhai gave the cold blade a hateful look.

"This explains why Shen Yuan failed to detect it when it was flung towards you."

He then told the couple, "I wouldn’t go through the small details, only the most important and the effects that make this dagger dangerous."

"First, this dagger contained a curse that dulls the senses of its target, making it undetected even if the person has exceptional physique and instinct," The beta meaningfully looked at Shen Yuan.

"And second," He sighed. "I don’t know if I should be calling this aspect a curse. In my opinion, it is more like a blessing—which is bad news for us. This blade has a disgusting ability to penetrate through the mana and disturb its flow without being detected. That is to say, the protective talisman and defensive skills of the awakeners are practically useless against this blade."

Bai Tingfeng’s eyes flashed with surprise, "If it could disturb the mana flow, then once it is stabbed on an awakener’s body it would..."

Xia Jinhai nodded his head, "It will mess up with the stability of the innate mana in the body, and in turn, it will cause instantaneous adverse physical effects. For example, lightheadedness, muscle weakness, and unconsciousness."

"It’s a perfect tool for assassination..." Bai Tingfeng trailed off, deep in his thoughts. The symptoms Xia Jinhai said all fit the description Shen Yuan said to him.

And what’s frightening is that it is effective for everyone regardless of whether you’re a weak F-class or a powerful S-class.

"It’s unthinkable how those terrorists managed to get their hands on this kind of powerful weapon."

"My thoughts exactly. Because of its inherent danger among mages, Chairman Mao named it the Mage Killer," Xia Jinhai seconded, his profound eyes looking down as if he were peering through his deepest thoughts.

"It’s only fitting though, since the dagger in your hand is indestructible to magic and since it is made with special black steel, it is also hard to break it with just physical strength"

"I assume that they must have a talented weapon craftsman with special abilities to make this. This isn’t a tool that could easily be made by anyone. Maybe just like talisman makers who gain insight into the art during their awakening, this person also awakened an ability to imbue curses onto the dagger."

"What do you think, Shen Yuan?" Xia Jinhai curiously turned to the omega.

He didn’t notice that Shen Yuan had been eerily silent since he was too immersed in explaining and internally assessing the threat of the Cardinals. "Shen Yuan?"

Bai Tingfeng also became worried when he saw his husband’s face become as dark as the pot’s bottom. "Yuan?"

"Curses, you say?!" Shen Yuan suddenly roared, catching the attention of not only the two fellow S-class awakeners but also his son and the three fighting alphas.

"What is happening over there?" Qin Mian who is now covered with bruises couldn’t help but look back.

He was lucky that Li An and Gu Jinpeng were both distracted like him or else, a rubber bullet or spear tip would have poked his cheeks.

But this was none of his concern as presently because right now, Shen Yuan was bursting with flames.

"Yuan, please calm down," Bai Tingfeng reached out to his husband to comfort him, but he didn’t expect Shen Yuan to dodge his hand, but he also snatched the Mage Killer from his hand.

"Yuan!"

"Shen Yuan," Xia Jinhai helplessly conjured a force field to isolate the bluish-white fire that was sprouting from Shen Yuan. He doubts that he can calm the energetic omega, so he just opts to control the potential damage of Shen Yuan’s sudden outburst.

"I know you are angry that those stupid terrorists want you dead, but you shouldn’t vent your anger in that dagger. It’s useless. Just like what I said, it is indestructible to magic—"

Xia Jinhai tried to remind Shen Yuan. However, his tongue retreated when he saw how his last sentence was disproved by Shen Yuan with just a weird white fire.

The Mage Killer’s believed to be indestructible was instantly burned into fine ash particles by Shen Yuan.

It didn’t even melt like it should be as a metal.

Xia Jinhai could only imagine how hot those white flames were.

"What’s with that white fire? I’ve never seen such a vicious flame!" The beta couldn’t help but blurt out.

Vicious is not the right adjective for this kind of Heavenly Foxfire.

It’s the Heavenly Foxfire of Purification, the same fire he used to subtly destroy the parasitic eggs and larva of the summoned insect that Haichong once used to control his victims.

With this fire, Shen Yuan gains the ability to purify anything he deems evil or harmful. It’s a holy power that symbolizes his identity as a celestial being.

"Yuan burned the curses that were placed in the dagger. Now with the absence of the magical effects and Shen Yuan’s forceful release of his mana due to his tantrum, it is not surprising that the dagger turned into dust," Bai Tingfeng explained what he could understand to Xia Jinhai.

"Burning curses? Is that even possible?" The usually serious and composed Xia Jinhai looked like all the hair on his crown would pop off from their roots. "I heard abilities that could cancel or dispel other abilities, but I never heard that you could "burn" curses using fire!"

The beta looked frantic and in utter disbelief.

However, this loss of poise only lasted for a brief moment since a realization struck him. "So, it must be a holy-attribute skill!"

Xia Jinhai’s eyes brightened. If such a powerful holy-attribute skill was used against the troublesome weapon, then it would not pose any problem!

"Shen Yuan, if you have such powerful skill then you should have used it in the first place! You wouldn’t have stabbed in the back—"

Bai Tingfeng interrupted Xia Jinhai’s words.

He could understand now why his husband was mad, "You shouldn’t continue. He’s the first person who knows that best now."

"I’m so stupid!" Shen Yuan reproached himself through gritted teeth.

As an ascended demon spirit, curses are not unfamiliar to him. In fact, he uses a few curses.

However, considering how he fights and uses his powers, it could be said that curses aren’t his forte! This plus the limitation of an incomplete body and the peculiar method that humans used, Shen Yuan hates to admit it, but he failed to distinguish it despite seeing it on multiple occasions.

"Come on, Yuan. Don’t be too hard on yourself," Bai Tingfeng was quick to console. He massaged the omega’s back.

If it was before, Shen Yuan would have stayed in a bad mood.

But thanks to the many good things that are happening to the celestial fox spirit, he became more emotionally resilient than before.

"I swear. The next time I see that damn weapon, I will make sure to burn it to a crisp just like this one," Shen Yuan sighed heavily and with that, he temporarily dropped the concern.

Little did he know, the chance to do that was just lying around the corner and it’s catching up to him quick.

To distract himself, he called back his subordinates including Qin Mian.

He was just about to give his feedback to the fox-eared alpha when suddenly, Xia Jinhai’s phone beeped and whether it was fate or not, Assistant Su Yifan hurried towards them, his face ashen and panting for air.

"Guild master! Bad news! One of our guild dungeons is attacked!"
