Silver Radiance Sacred Artifact

Silver Wolf was subdued, Ilubeck, the spider monster, climbed down from the ceiling, saying to Rein with a rather helpless tone, "Let him go, he won't go berserk anymore."

The old man deftly lifted Bazel up from behind and examined him, then sighed slightly, "Alas, it seems the Silver Sacred Artifact caused a hormonal imbalance in his body, leading to an error in the dosage of the sedative."

Rein shrugged, neither confirming nor denying, and then released Bazel from beneath him.

Before long, Bazel, who was left with only a pair of tattered shorts, slowly woke up.

He looked weakly at the messy laboratory, then glanced at the old man with a dark expression, vaguely guessing what was going on, and asked with a slightly unsure voice, "Doctor, what happened to me?"

"You dare ask?!"

Upon hearing this, Ilubeck retorted irritably, "You damned bastard, you went berserk just now! You made a complete mess of my lab!"

Rein, who was standing to the side, was also stunned by the tone of his voice.

This old man is something else. He gave all Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters a good scolding without giving them any face at all.

He expected to see Bazel slam the table, grab the old man by the neck, and then shout in a thuggish manner, "You old bastard, how dare you talk to me like that?!"

Unfortunately, things didn't go as Rein had anticipated.

Bazel's attitude seemed more humble than expected, even subtly obsequious.

"Ah?"

Looking at the furious Ilubeck, he weakly suggested, "I'll pay."

"Pay my ass!"

Before he could finish speaking, the old man interrupted him angrily, saying, "I know you, the leader of the 'White Wolf Bandit Group,' are rich, but these instruments can't be bought with money on the market! Many of them are custom-made equipment that I brought back from the Oma Royal Academy of Sciences. Even the Oma Empire might not be able to make a second one!"

Hearing this unsparing barrage of insults, Rein was truly dumbfounded.

This old geezer is a weakling in combat, but his status in the martial arts world seems to be much higher than I expected!

The mighty "Ten Great Legends" Bazel was scolded without any temper, showing none of the domineering demeanor that Rein had seen on the Storm Lake.

This puzzled Rein as well.

Back then, this werewolf boss could withstand being besieged by a group of powerful opponents of the same level without flinching. Now, he's being so polite to an old man he could have crushed with a single finger, like a husky with its tail between its legs, completely subdued.

What has this guy been through these past few days? Could it be that he's been tortured and his personality has become twisted and his morality corrupted by this old man's research?

Ilubeck ignored him and didn't discuss compensation. He turned and said angrily, "Bazel, I've done what I promised you, and I don't owe you any favors anymore. You can leave now!"

Upon hearing this, Bazel's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "But Doctor, what about my injuries?"

Ilubeck said bluntly, "It's hopeless!"

Upon hearing this, Bazel's face instantly turned grim, and he said with difficulty, "Doctor, you... you're not serious, are you?"

"I'm very serious!"

Although Ilubeck was furious, his tone was serious as he said, "I have healed all your other injuries, but I am powerless to help with that [Silver Radiance Sacred Artifact]. It is Evil-Breaking Sacred Artifact specifically designed to target your werewolf clan. I had tried to use the 'Body Infusion Method' to remove those Fine Needle, but I failed."

He paused, then added, "Moreover, I dare say that if I can't cure it, no one in the entire medical field can! So... it's hopeless!"

Bazel's expression suddenly darkened as if he had thought of something, "But... if I don't get those damned Silver Needle out, will I be like this for the rest of my life?"

To be a useless person who can't use his fighting spirit for the rest of his life?

"Perhaps in a few decades, when more sophisticated testing instruments are developed, we might be able to try to pull out those Mithril Fine Needles that are a hundred times thinner than a human hair. But right now, it's impossible!"

Ilubeck continued, speaking bluntly, "Even if you can't be cured, your savings as a phantom thief are enough for you to live a comfortable life as a millionaire. Besides, your werewolf clan has a long lifespan, just you wait!"

"This"

Upon hearing this, Bazel turned ashen-faced.

Become a tycoon? He's made countless enemies in his life. If people found out he wasn't dead, even the City of Radiance couldn't save his life!

But he also knew very well that for the old man in front of him to say such a thing was equivalent to a "verdict" being handed down on his injuries!

If this expert can't cure the injury, then there's absolutely no one else in the entire medical community who can cure it.

The more Ilubeck looked at the haphazardly placed medical equipment on the ground, the angrier he became. He immediately gave the order to leave, "Bazel, I've repaid the favor I owed you, and I've done my best in the treatment. You can go now!"

"I"

Upon hearing this, Bazel wanted to try and get something more, but then he swallowed his words.

A tycoon? He knew he had made countless enemies in his life, and even his glorious achievements couldn't save his life if people found out he was still alive.

Bazel was well aware that although the mad doctor had an eccentric temper, he was always very careful in his speech.

Since he made that assertion, there is absolutely no room for negotiation.

Finally, the last bit of spirit left in this once-renowned "Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters" vanished completely because of that phrase "hopeless."

Just like the last moment the sun lingered below the horizon, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed.

He silently turned and left, leaving Rein with a desolate silhouette.

Waiting for Bazel to leave the laboratory.

Ilubeck also let out a long sigh, of course, because he felt sorry for all the equipment he had left on the ground.

Then, Rein asked curiously, "Doctor, what exactly happened to Mr. Bazel? Why has his strength deteriorated so much?"

"You should know about what happened at Storm Lake, right?"

Ilubeck, still furious, made no attempt to hide anything and said directly, "This guy was besieged by the court officials of Omar. To deal with him, they even brought out an ancient artifact specifically for werewolves— the Silver Radiance Sacred Artifact. Hmph, this guy's lucky; he actually managed to escape even in that situation. He barely survived and made it to the City of Radiance to come to me for help."

He paused, then continued, "Unfortunately, the injuries caused by that sacred artifact are very complex, and current medical methods are completely ineffective, even by the priests. In fact, his condition is somewhat similar to your insect infestation."

Upon hearing this, Rein understood.

The reason why Bazel's beast form only had the combat power of First Tier demon wolf was entirely because the [Silver Radiance Sacred Artifact] left countless "Mithril Fine Needles" in his body, each a hundred times smaller than a hair.

This ancient alchemical product is quite peculiar; it has no effect on ordinary people. However, once one uses their battle qi, the needles will be activated, running wildly through the meridians.

These needles are refined using a secret method that has been lost to time. When they come into contact with battle qi, they activate "Armor Breaking Rune," which can instantly pierce even the steel-cast body of a werewolf.

Moreover, silver is effective against evil spirits and is especially effective against dark bloodlines such as werewolves and vampires.

The tens of thousands of Silver Needle traveled through his meridians and muscles, leaving him unable to live or die.

Every time Bazel uses his battle aura, he bleeds profusely, just like before. And this was only less than ten percent of his battle aura; if he dared to unleash his full power, he would probably die on the spot in no time.

This is also the biggest reason why this legend was tortured by needles day and night, leaving him with no temper!

"So that's where the 'Fine Needle' comes from!"

Upon hearing this, a glint of shrewdness flashed in Rein's eyes.

Hidden behind his back, his left hand had an Essence Thread wrapped around the tip of his index finger. Under a microscope, one could even see a silver needle, thinner than a hair, moving within that qi energy Essence Thread.

This was a foreign object that Rein had casually pulled out with "Essence Thread" (罡丝) when he touched Baal's body and found it prickly.

The function of "Essence Thread" is not limited to suturing wounds; it can also remove tiny foreign objects from the body.

(Of course, this does not include the Bloodline Worms that cannot be detected by sensors or instruments.)

This is the amazing healing ability of the "Battle Doctor's " exclusive skill, "Thread Needle Thread"!
