The Abyssal demonization aura was not something to be trifled with. The youth had only slightly come into contact with a wisp of it, but his whole fingertip instantly turned black. At the same time, it spread downward at an alarming speed. In a moment, one joint had already turned black, emitting a faint black aura and even fine scales began to protrude slowly from the surface of the joint.
A wave of intense pain surged from his finger, and the youth's complexion drastically changed. With his left hand, he drew a dagger from his waist. It was a Spell Blade of Epic Quality, all of its attributes focused on increasing intelligence and spirit, a specialized blade for mages.
However, as a dagger, it retained its basic sharpness, and the youth, with a backhand slice, severed the finger that had been contaminated by an entire joint.
