WTYTIAAN Chapter 180

Chapter 180

The change happened in an instant. Yu Qie’er, who clearly could have dodged Yan Yunqing’s attack, not only didn’t dodge but instead rushed forward. Without any blocking movements, he directly rammed his chest against Yan Yunqing’s dagger.

Yan Yunqing: ???

At the critical moment, Yan Yunqing’s dagger’s angle shifted slightly, but it was useless because their distance was too close. Even if Yan Yunqing reacted quickly, he couldn’t immediately withdraw his attack.

With a “shua” sound, the sharp blade entered flesh.

The dagger plunged into Yu Qie’er’s chest.

Yan Yunqing, also because of excessive shock, failed to stop his forward momentum and, following the direction of the dagger, fell into Yu Qie’er’s embrace.

Strong and powerful arms took the opportunity to hug him tightly. Yu Qie’er’s chin rested on his shoulder, and warm breath landed on the side of his neck, causing a burst of numbness. A low call, however, made Yan Yunqing’s pupils tremble.

He said, “My King.”

……

At that moment, Yan Yunqing’s mind was blank. Meeting those black eyes that revealed a hint of blue, his eyes widened.

Many names flashed through his mind, and finally, one name escaped his lips: “Beros?”

However, the person who was embracing him had already closed his eyes, seemingly losing consciousness due to the previous attack, but the arms holding him showed no intention of loosening.

What… is happening?

“Hey–” Only then did Yan Yunqing realize what had happened, and frantically used his hands to cover the dagger in Yu Qie’er’s chest. “No, what’s wrong with you? Wake up!”

Yu Qie’er had no reaction.

Yan Yunqing was a little panicked. His mind was still a bit confused. He couldn’t understand why Yu Qie’er would use his chest to receive his dagger. If Yu Qie’er was really Beros, then this sudden meeting gift was too much of a ‘surprise’.

So surprised that he was a little at a loss, and subconsciously wanted to use the few life-saving healing skills that Sylph had left him.

Merlin, who had heard the news and rushed over, let out a scream, but was interrupted by Isabel with a punch.

It was also this sound that brought Yan Yunqing back to his senses. He didn’t immediately fling out the healing skills Sylph had left him but turned his head to face Merlin and Isabel, whom he hadn’t been able to contact.

“Merlin? Isabel?”

Merlin ran over, looking at Yan Yunqing, who was being tightly hugged by Yu Qie’er, in great shock. “I sent you a message saying that Beros was here. I didn’t see you coming for a long time and thought you weren’t planning to come. Why did you give Beros a knife as soon as you arrived?”

Yan Yunqing: ???

“He’s really Beros?”

Merlin spread his hands. “Who else could it be besides Beros? The only Beastman who can fight Isabel to a draw is that little wolf cub back then. Didn’t you see the magic Texture on his chest?”

Yan Yunqing turned his head and found that the dagger had pierced Yu Qie’er’s chest and also pierced his clothes. The fabric on his chest was torn, revealing a complex and somewhat strange, beautiful magic Texture.

Yan Yunqing tore open Yu Qie’er’s clothes, and immediately a very standard chest muscle and eight-pack abs were exposed. However, Yan Yunqing had no time to appreciate the muscles that normal people would envy, and stared at the magic Texture on it.

The magic Texture stretched from his chest all the way to his lower abdomen, and further down was covered by his waistband, but Yan Yunqing recognized it clearly. This was indeed Beros’s magic Texture.

If appearance can be faked, and identity can be faked, then the magic Texture on Beros’s body could never be faked.

Beros, a mixed-blood Beastman born from the union of a Beastman and a succubus. He should have been a short-lived and weak fellow, and even when he was more than ten years old, he had not been able to transform from beastly state to human form. Several times he almost died from the conflict of bloodlines.

It was the Demon King’s contract that stabilized the two incompatible bloodlines in Beros’s body and successfully allowed Beros to solve the problems of short life and inability to transform into human form.

Correspondingly, this contract and the succubus bloodline’s own magic Texture merged with each other, forming a unique magic Texture on Beros’s body. This magic Texture was a unique mark belonging only to Beros, and no one could copy it.

As the Demon King himself, Yan Yunqing naturally recognized Beros’s magic 草.

That is, after identifying that Yu Qie’er was indeed Beros, Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but utter a curse, “He recognized who I was, and without saying a word, he came up and deliberately rammed my dagger?”

Yan Yunqing couldn’t understand it. He really couldn’t understand it.

How did that once well-behaved puppy, oh no, well-behaved wolf cub, who especially liked to snuggle and hug, and would even actively warm his feet and the blankets, become such a battle maniac?

Fighting people when he sees them is one thing, but what’s with using his chest to ram a dagger? Does he not want to live?

Oh… almost forgot, Beros, who has succubus blood, doesn’t have his heart in the chest like ordinary people. Even if he’s stabbed many times, it’s a small matter. As long as he doesn’t stab the center of the succubus’s magic 草, which is the lower abdomen, the succubus won’t suffer a fatal injury.

Beros, who has succubus blood, also inherited this characteristic.

But Yan Yunqing still wanted to curse.

…No, curse the wolf cub.

Yan Yunqing tried hard to struggle out of Beros’s embrace, but for some reason, Beros, who had already fallen into a coma, held him tightly, not giving Yan Yunqing any chance to escape.

Merlin looked at Yan Yunqing with a look that said, “You masters and retainers really know how to play,” and emitted an ambiguous “tsk tsk.”

Yan Yunqing wanted to hit someone again, although he knew that he couldn’t beat Merlin in his current state.

Damn it, how come he can’t beat anyone? He needs to level up even harder!

Sooner or later, he’ll pin these people to the ground and beat them up!

Yan Yunqing released a death stare at Merlin. Merlin looked innocent. Isabel, on the other hand, couldn’t bear to watch it any longer and gave Merlin another love punch. “Alright, hurry up and rescue Nolan. Also, quickly take out that dagger from Beros’s body.”

As she said that, Isabel frowned. “Nolan, where did you get this dagger? Why do I feel like it’s sucking Beros’s life force?”

Yan Yunqing: ?

Yan Yunqing was shocked. He looked down at the dagger inserted in Beros’s chest, and it did seem to be faintly wrong, but he couldn’t see anything more.

Yan Yunqing frowned. “I don’t remember where this dagger came from either. Maybe someone gave it to me before.”

He didn’t need Merlin to help him. He directly used the role-play to transform into a little black cat. His body instantly became smaller, and he successfully drilled out of Beros’s embrace. When he jumped to an open space, he canceled the role-play skill and turned back to his original appearance.

He squatted in front of the unconscious Beros, looking solemnly at the dagger stuck in Beros’s chest.

[Nameless Blade]

Description: A nameless knife. It was once given as a gift to someone, and it was the most precious thing to him. 50% chance to ignore defense and deal true damage.

This was what he had found in his backpack when he had just crossed over and was still in the cage in the auction house warehouse. Because there were no equipment level restrictions, coupled with the 50% armor-piercing probability, he took it out to cut the cage and turn the tables.

Later, he got used to using it, plus the bonus of this weapon was on the armor-piercing probability, and the base value could be completely ignored. Even after his level reached 74, Yan Yunqing never thought about finding a high-level dagger to use specifically.

After all, he mainly used greatswords, longswords, and magic wands as his means of attack. There were few close combat situations with daggers, so there was no need for it.

He took out this dagger today purely because it was convenient.

He didn’t expect that inserting it into Beros’s body would have different effects. Although Yan Yunqing himself couldn’t see it, he trusted Isabel’s judgment.

Merlin also came over to take a look, raising an eyebrow. “Oh, this material…”

He reached out and touched it, and without regard for the dagger still being stuck in Beros’s chest, he directly used force to pull the dagger out. Immediately, blood splattered everywhere. A smear landed on the corner of Yan Yunqing’s eye, slowly sliding down, like a delicate blush.

Yan Yunqing glared at Merlin. “You just took it out like that?”

Merlin was innocent. “Hey, your dagger doesn’t have any bloodletting grooves, and Beros’s vitals aren’t in his chest. What’s wrong with pulling it out? With Beros’s healing ability, his wound will heal by the time you’re done yelling at me.”

This was purely an exaggeration, but Merlin was right about one thing. Beros’s healing ability was indeed very strong. Perhaps this was the strange bloodline resulting from the combination of succubus and Beastman taking effect. The bloody hole in his chest that Yan Yunqing had poked out with the dagger was healing at a visible speed.

It was estimated that in less than ten minutes, his wound would really be healed.

Yan Yunqing gritted his teeth but had nothing to say and couldn’t refute Merlin’s words.

Merlin once again looked at Yan Yunqing with a hateful look, the meaning of which Yan Yunqing didn’t even want to interpret.

This guy.

Merlin also knew to quit while he was ahead, mainly because if he didn’t stop and continued to provoke Nolan, he would be sanctioned by Nolan’s loyal retainer, friend, and his dear wife Isabel.

Before Isabel’s righteous iron fist was about to fall, Merlin returned to normal. He looked at the dagger in his hand, studying it back and forth. “This material is a bit special. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before… Strange, there’s actually something I haven’t seen?”

Yan Yunqing took out a small blue bottle from his backpack and poured it on Beros’s wound. Although it wasn’t very useful for a powerhouse of Beros’s level, it could at least promote wound healing and mainly had a psychological effect.

Hearing this, “What do you mean? Are you saying that the origin of this dagger is extraordinary? Can you deduce where it’s from?”

Isabel also came over. Merlin handed the dagger to her, and she took it, carefully examining it for a moment, then shook her head. “I’ve never seen this material either.”

Merlin became interested. “Interesting. Even you haven’t seen it. It seems that this material is indeed special.”

He touched his chin. “The material is special, but the forging craftsmanship is extremely rough and simple. It’s definitely not as good as the forging master Tolin… It shouldn’t have been made by the dwarves either. After all, the forging craftsmanship of this dagger is too simple, like it was made by a beginner.”

Dwarves are born weapon-forging masters. Forging is their innate talent. Even a dwarf forging a weapon for the first time wouldn’t forge such a rough dagger.

“Many forging techniques can give weapons special skills, but the forging craftsmanship of your dagger is so poor that the ability to absorb life force shouldn’t be caused by forging techniques, so it can only be the material—”

Merlin thought, “Hmm, this is really hard to judge. Maybe I need a little time.”

Yan Yunqing wasn’t in a hurry. This dagger had been in his backpack for a long time, and he wasn’t in a hurry to find out where it came from now. He nodded to Merlin. “Whatever, then put this dagger with you for now, and tell me when you’ve figured something out.”

Merlin very naturally put the dagger away. “Okay, I’ll do my best.”

Yan Yunqing looked at Beros, who was still unconscious, feeling a little worried. He didn’t know what was causing Beros’s inexplicable coma. After all, his dagger strike didn’t cause much damage at all. Beros shouldn’t have fallen into a coma in theory.

Could it be that the dagger’s special nature caused Beros to be unconscious at the moment?

A slight worry arose in Yan Yunqing’s heart, but he forcibly suppressed it because there were more important things to do now.

“I just got some news from the Sixth Prince of Bato Vita, whom I captured from Beros in the dungeon. They are preparing to…”

Yan Yunqing told Merlin and Isabel the news that Fei Wu was preparing to turn all the people in Sri Lanka Lipa City into undead to strike at Romunike. Immediately, the expressions of the two became a bit unsightly.
