Chapter 167 Bloodstone

Vincent had many random things inside his Obsidian Treasure Box.

A small part of them were items that he bought and the other part were things that Tara and Rem contributed.

He wasn't able to remember all the magical effects of his items but he can easily recall those that are important for survival or combat.

One of the items that he has were the Enchanted Bloodstones. This is an item he got when he was still working as an Appraiser at the Guardian Auction House.

He has quite a few of these thanks to Therese. This was supposedly an item that only the royal family wanted after all.

Back then, when he appraised the Bloodstones brought by the members of the Blood Mist Sect, his Appraisal skill was only at an intermediate level.

It only has a Corruption attribute and it was just described as a special stone that can corrupt or strengthen a magic artifact depending on the item's configuration.

However, when Vincent ranked up his Appraisal Skill to an advanced level and ascended this item, he learned a few more things from it.

[ Enchanted Bloodstone ]

[ Quality: Epic

Number of Enhancements: 10/10

Durability: 90/90

Corruption: 220

Stench: 35

Description: A special stone that can corrupt any Magic Artifact. Depending on the targeted Artifacts, it can either strengthen or weaken them. This stone contains important nutrients that Magic Beasts needed.

Remarks: This item can not be enhanced. This item can easily attract Magic Beasts.]

This is the Enchanted Bloodstone now. It is considered a very dangerous item since it could attract Magic Beasts.

Vincent wanted to possess more of this but he doesn't know how the Blood Mist Sect found this item. Perhaps, they even have a method to create this.

Anyway, this item is the reason why he knows that the Runic Badger will come charging at them. He doesn't have any prophetic vision just as Yulia thought.

As for the reason why he decided to pull this out, it was quite obvious. He wanted the Magic Beast Core for himself!

That's right! The Imperial Jackal's core that was integrated into his Mithril Sword provided a skill called Illusory Sword. Although he hadn't used it yet in live combat, he knows that it's incredibly powerful.

Once he regained his eyesight, he will definitely practice the Primal Sword Sect's Sword Art and maximize the two skills that it has.

Furthermore, he still has 3 pieces of Mithril Ore and an Orichalcum Ore with him!

If he wanted to have a customized weapon or equipment, he needed the Best Beast Core he could get.

If Silas killed this Magic Beast, he would certainly get the right to own its core.

Since Vincent thought that it was not easy to find a Magic Beast, he decided to get its attention instead and take it.

Whoosh~

Vincent used his Astral Night Dagger again…

He had used one Transcendence Card and another Random Skill Card to get its Return Skill and Assassinate Skill that can basically follow the target. With its high Critical and Pierce rate, Vincent knows how incredibly strong this weapon was.

Unless he's facing someone with a Legendary Item as well, he would be able to exploit the attributes that it has.

Ssak---

There was no suspense at all. Vincent's Astral Night Dagger struck the Runic Badger's head penetrating its skull.

It was too focused on ripping the shadows that were limiting its movement and didn't notice Vincent's legendary dagger.

"What? Are you really blind, Vincent?" Yulia asked in surprise after noticing that the Badger is no longer resisting. Thanks to that, she no longer needed to consume a lot of mental strength to wrap the Magic Beast.

"Yes… My dagger is just quite special. It can track a target and it can even change direction once… It's very useful." Vincent answered as he unconsciously revealed the Assassinate Skill's flaw.

It can only change direction once after marking a target. It can give a good surprise at first but it would definitely not work twice against elite combatants.

This is why the Return Skill that the dagger got was something truly important. After all, it would be awkward if this Legendary Dagger would just be knocked to the ground and he couldn't claim it back again.

After having some random thoughts, Vincent asked Rem to take the body of the Runic Badger…

It can't pass through the Water Formation unless someone who is holding the boarding ticket takes it with them.

However, before she could act, they realized that the controlled beasts had gone crazy after the badger died!

Everyone was already about to celebrate after seeing the Runic Badger die but their words were stuck in their throats after seeing the crazed eyes of the Savage Beasts! The Infernal Hornets were not even afraid of fire anymore as they just continued charging at the ship without care for their lives!

"They have gone crazy!"

? "The Formation is breaking!"

"Hide inside the ship!"

"No, they can just enter there easily! If they broke the formation, they can easily break this wooden ship as well! It's better to fight together!"

"That's right!"

"Tsk! Who said that once we killed the Runic Badger, these Savage Beasts will scatter!"

The crowd didn't really want to offend the official members of the Black Tower at first. However, now that the crisis is in front of them, they couldn't help but blame Silas and the other two.

They should've focused on fleeing instead of fighting…

Although the numerous beast cores are alluring, they have to be able to survive this first!

Bang!

The Water Formation was finally broken as the swarm of beasts charged at them… Luckily the people inside the ship also started coming out to fight with everyone!

[ Hold on! The ship's guards are coming! Everyone who participates in protecting this ship will be rewarded. ]

The captain of the ship spoke using the intercom as the attack of the savage beasts got intense. No one can be bothered by his promise as everyone is doing their best to kill as many beasts as they can.

"I got it, Vincent…" Rem said as she returned to his side.

Vincent then noticed that Rem already got the Magic Beast's corpse with her. He then immediately put the whole body of the Runic Badger inside his Obsidian Treasure Box hoping that not many would see his actions.

Well, even if they saw him bagging the corpse, they shouldn't think of taking it away from him.

Vincent then took a deep breath as he maximized his Soul Sense…

As soon as he completed his preparations, he finally made his move and attacked the swarm of beasts…

"Mana Drain…"
