Upon learning that Orton and others had retrieved the scythe of the Knife Fox Demon and planned to turn it into a weapon, Rocky suddenly rembered another thing — he still had a tooth from a high-level demon in his possession!
He recalled that during his first trip to Eternal City, in order to sell the ores left behind by a Grayrock Demon, he once visited the Hunting Exchange and bought a tooth there.
At that ti, he intended to use this tooth as a close combat weapon, but unfortunately, it soon revealed a serious problem. It wasn't until Monte joined him that Rocky found out the tooth he had bought for only a few hundred Gold Coins might have co from a high-level demon!
This revelation had scared Rocky out of his wits. He never thought he would encounter such a stroke of accidental fortune. Sadly, back then his abilities were too limited to know how to use it, even if the tooth might be worth a fortune. So he had no choice but to set it aside, and as ti passed, he forgot about it... until now, when he finally rembered.
However, to Rocky's claims, Orton and the others were skeptical. It was not that they didn't believe Rocky, but rather they simply couldn't fathom that such good fortune could really exist in this world!
That was a high-level demon's tooth! To casually find one in the market and buy it for only a few hundred Gold Coins seed like a joke!
So when Rocky shared this story, Orton and the others did not believe it.
Because of this, Rocky had no choice but to ask Liliya to fetch the tooth from Thunderhawk City to prove he was not lying.
Since Thunderhawk City was hovering above Backhill Village at the ti, going back and forth on a Reconnaissance Ship did not take much ti. In about an hour or so, Liliya returned before everyone and handed a wooden box over to Orton upon her arrival.
Taking the wooden box brought back by Liliya, Orton, Hamrfire, Pelaya, and Aniye curiously ford a circle and slowly opened the lid of the box...
As the wooden box was gradually opened, a faint blue light began to emanate from within. Upon seeing this blue light, or more accurately the tooth emitting the blue light, Orton and the others were dumbstruck!
Holding the wooden box, Orton first held his breath, then started to breathe rapidly. As he breathed quickly, he looked around at the others and saw that whether it was Hamrfire, Pelaya, or the most experienced Aniye, all of them, like him, not only had rapid breathing but were also staring intently at the blue light inside the box.
"This is..."
"Could this really be..."
"Yes, it must be."
"Heavens, it's simply unbelievable!"
They carefully lifted the azure tooth out of the wooden box, treating it as if it were a priceless treasure. They examined it carefully while talking to each other in words that bystanders couldn't understand.
It wasn't until a good while later that they finally snapped out of it and all turned to look at Rocky.
Being stared at by four people as if he were so kind of monster, Rocky suddenly felt a chill down his spine, even feeling an impulse to run away. And before he could even react, Orton and the others had surrounded him!
"Kid, tell us the truth, where exactly did you get this tooth from?" Orton could not help but ask as he looked at Rocky.
This question baffled Rocky, for he had just explained in detail how he had co by the tooth.
"It was really bought by ."
"Young City Lord, are you treating us like outsiders? Tell us, is this sothing your parents left for you?"
"The things my parents left were swindled away long ago, this was really bought by ."
Looking at the group, Rocky was truly at a loss for words. He had previously said that he had bought a tooth from a high-level demon and they didn't believe him; now he had brought the tooth and they still doubted him.
"It was really bought?"
Seeing Rocky almost in tears, Orton and the others exchanged glances before incredulity spread across their faces.
"This is really... really... incredibly lucky..."
"Unimaginable, truly unimaginable."
"Such luck... there's simply no way to describe it..."
"It could also be a case where even a blind cat runs into a dead mouse every now and then, maybe this kid did hit upon a pie falling from the sky."
After sharing a look, Orton and his companions couldn't help but comnt.
Their reactions left Rocky completely baffled, but before he could ask any questions, Aniye was the first to speak.
"Rocky, do you know which demon this tooth ca from?"
"I don't know."
Turning toward Aniye, Rocky shook his head vigorously like a rattle-drum, truly unaware of the tooth's origin. Not only him, even Monte, who was a Demon Hunter, only suspected the tooth might belong to a high-level demon, but knew nothing more.
As he shook his head repeatedly, Aniye smiled and then explained, "This tooth indeed cos from a high-level demon, no, that's not quite right..."
"This tooth is called the Azure Fang and cos from a demon nad Leviathan. Of course, whether it's the na of the tooth or that of the demon, there are very few who would recognize them."
"I've never heard of it..."
When Aniye revealed the na of the tooth and then ntioned the demon Leviathan, Rocky thought carefully and then nodded repeatedly. He had a fair knowledge of demons from frequent chats with Monte, the Demon Hunter, but these two nas he had never co across.
Moreover, after hearing these two nas, Rocky felt sothing strange.
The na Azure Fang was quite ordinary and fitting, given that the tooth naturally emanated a faint blue light; using 'azure' to describe it didn't seem over the top. However, the na Leviathan was a bit odd...
"What, you think the na is odd, do you?"
As if he had seen through Rocky's thoughts, Aniye posed the question just as Rocky had begun to puzzle over the na Leviathan.
"Yes." Rocky nodded in response to the question: "It doesn't sound like the na of a demon."
"Hehehe..."
Hearing this, Aniye laughed softly, then nodded while saying, "You're right, Leviathan doesn't sound like the na of a demon. In fact, the very reason people gave the demon such a na was to distinguish it from ordinary demons."
"Distinguish? Why?"
"Because the demon Leviathan is the only one of its kind."
"The only one...?"
Looking dazedly at Aniye, Rocky blinked and licked his lips, suddenly feeling a bit confused. He felt he didn't quite understand the aning behind Aniye's words.
The only one?
What did it an by 'the only one'?
