Chapter 55: The Terrifying Legendary Creature! (Bonus Chapter!)
"Roar!!!"
A massive black-and-blue head thrust out from the portal, followed by two dragon claws gripping the threshold.
Immediately after, a nearly hundred-meter-long Frost Dragon completely emerged from the portal.
Its body was composed of countless black-and-blue bones, radiating a bone-chilling cold that caused the surrounding temperature to drop significantly.
With its wings spread wide, it blocked out the sky.
The size of the Frost Dragon was several times larger than the Undead Skeletal Dragon, Carkus!
Within its roaring jaws, terrifying frost energy and the aura of death intertwined, seemingly ready to blast forth at any moment.
The portal behind it slowly closed. The Frost Dragon's gaze locked onto Su Mubai, and with a beat of its massive wings, it instantly dove downward.
Frost Dragon: "Human, I never expected that the one who summoned me would be such a weakling?"
There was a hint of disdain in the Frost Dragon's voice, along with an irrepressible fury.
Yet, in the very next instant, the flames of souls within its pupils violently flickered.
"What! You are actually..."
Hum~
A pillar of light descended from the high heavens, completely enveloping the Frost Dragon.
The Frost Dragon's voice abruptly cut off, as if its sentience had been wiped clean by this inexplicable force!
This sight left Su Mubai deeply shocked.
So the mount mentioned by the Myriad Realms Game meant pulling one from the Undead Realm and forcibly binding it into a contract with oneself?
This was simply too domineering!
Su Mubai could feel that this Frost Dragon was vastly more powerful than himself by more than a mere star or two.
Yet, under the rules of the Myriad Realms Game, it was treated like a mere ant, utterly powerless to resist.
Wasn't it the exact same when all of humanity on Blue Star was transported into the game yesterday?
"The Myriad Realms Game... just who is controlling all of this?"
Su Mubai narrowed his eyes slightly, deep in thought.
However, he quickly shook his head with a smile. With his current strength, what qualifications did he have to know these things?
Thinking too much about it would only bring needless trouble.
At the very least, the Myriad Realms Game had granted him a chance at rebirth.
That was enough!
At this thought, a fierce look flashed in Su Mubai's eyes. As two figures surfaced in his mind, a cold sneer curved the corner of his mouth.
"I hope you two make it out of the novice village early."
At this moment, the pillar of light in mid-air slowly dissipated. The Frost Dragon's size shrank by more than half before transforming into a streak of black-and-blue light that merged into Su Mubai's body.
The notification sound of the Myriad Realms Game rang in Su Mubai's ears.
[Your mount space has been unlocked.]
[You have obtained a Legendary-grade mount — Frost Dragon.]
[Due to acquiring a mount of Epic grade or higher, the Blue Star Region Mount Leaderboard has been opened in advance.]
[Notice: A Blue Star Region announcement will be broadcast shortly.]
...
[Blue Star Region Announcement: Congratulations to the Dragon Empire player "White Night" for obtaining a mount. The Blue Star Region Mount Leaderboard has been opened in advance.] ×10
The shock from the first kill of an Epic-grade boss more than ten minutes ago had not yet faded when the Blue Star Region announcement rang out once more.
And this time, all players were sent into a frenzy.
"Nani! Why is it this White Night again? Are the experts of our Great Sakura Empire all dead?!"
"As expected of our Goryeo Republic's White Night oppa, once the national borders open, he will definitely return."
"F***, is this White Night God's illegitimate child? I'm only level 5, and he's already obtained a mount?!"
"Boss White Night is awesome! Strive to open all the leaderboards as early as possible."
...
When players opened the prematurely unlocked Mount Leaderboard, the chat channels in every novice village froze for several seconds.
[Blue Star Region Mount Leaderboard]
Rank 1: White Night — Frost Dragon (Legendary-grade Mount)
Rank 2: None
Rank 3: None
...
Rank 100: None
Upon seeing the three words "Legendary-grade," everyone drew a sharp intake of breath, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They had imagined that White Night was powerful and that his mount definitely wouldn't be simple—perhaps even Epic-grade.
After all, the opponent had just soloed an Epic-grade boss, so that would still be reasonable.
But what on earth was Legendary-grade?
Is a mount of this tier something that can be owned on the second day of the game?!
...
Those top-tier players who had already entered cities chose to venture outside the city to grind levels the very moment the previous region-wide announcement ended.
They were all fueled by a drive to catch up to White Night's pace.
Yet unexpectedly, before they could even step out of the city gates, this guy had triggered another region-wide announcement.
And on top of that, he had unlocked the Mount Leaderboard in advance!
How were they supposed to play now?
Should they even bother trying to get on the Mount Leaderboard?
If the mount in second place was only Dark Gold-grade or even just Gold-grade, would making it onto the leaderboard bring worldwide fame or sheer humiliation?!
This was a question.
With varying expressions, the top experts unconsciously quickened their pace out of the city.
They had already fallen too far behind White Night; they had to speed up to catch him.
However, what these people did not know was that Su Mubai's gaming progress was something they would never be able to catch up to.
...
[Notice: Please name your mount.]
"Frost."
Su Mubai casually gave it a name, then hurriedly opened his character panel to check Frost's stats.
[Mount Space]: 1/1
[Frost] (Base panel without auras)
[Legendary-grade Mount]
[Frost Dragon]
[High-tier Undead Creature]
[Level: 0] (Cannot exceed the player's level by more than 5)
[Loyalty: 100] (Influenced by the Death Sovereign class; loyalty will never decrease.)
[Movement Speed Bonus: Ground +100%, Air +500%] (Ridable after level 10)
[Health Points: 12,000,000 / 12,000,000]
[Mana Points: 10,000,000 / 10,000,000]
[Attack Power: 12,000]
[Spell Power: 10,000]
[Physical Defense: 10,000]
[Magical Defense: 8,000]
[Elemental Resistances: Frost 60%, Death 50%, Shadow 40%, Other elements 20%.]
[Skill: Frost Breath] (More skills will be automatically comprehended as the level increases to a certain threshold.)
[Frost Breath]: Deals 200% spell power Frost damage per second to targets within a 3-meter radius, inflicting heavy injury and burn effects, lasting up to 10 seconds.
(Attack range and attack distance are related to body size.)
Attack distance: 30 meters. Cooldown: 120 seconds. Mana consumption: 1,000 points per second.
Although its level had been reset to level 0 by the Myriad Realms Game, Frost's luxurious stats still left Su Mubai dumbfounded.
Is a Legendary-grade creature at level 0 really this ridiculous?
Compared to a level 0 stat sheet like this, what difference was there between human players' four-dimensional attributes—capped at 10 points—and 0?
No wonder the Myriad Realms Game stated that the human race was at a distinct disadvantage compared to other races.
That statement didn't look down on humanity in the slightest; if anything, it understated the reality!
This wasn't just a disadvantage; there was simply no comparison whatsoever!
Of course, the Frost Dragon was also an immensely powerful entity even among the Undead race.
The number of such high-tier undead creatures shouldn't be too vast, much like players with high-tier talents.
It's just that the latter still needed time to grow.
Once their level, equipment, skills, and class all developed, could they truly contend with such powerful existences.
With a thought, Su Mubai summoned Frost out of the mount space.
