Allen, Tang Yu, and Raya decided to stay for a few more days in the city.
Allen wanted to prepare some things first, for example, a mount.
“We need a mount to carry us all the way,” Allen said towards Tang Yu. As for Raya, she was an Arachnid so even if Allen wanted to give her one but because of his sharp legs, even a bear would run away from her.
“But what kind of mount, young master? We don’t have a horse here…” Tang Yu answered.
“That’s easy~” After saying so, Allen set out to the forest once again.
This time, his goal was to tame a good mount!
--- ---
The occasional wolf howl escaped from the dense forest, causing anyone who heard it shudder but Allen was different. Those awful and scary sounds seem to be a strong rock n’ roll music in his ears as a not bit of anxiety could be seen reflected in his eyes.
Walking through an animal trail, he saw a lot of different monsters from a small rodent to a huge gorilla and he either blasted them away or they run away upon seeing him. His presence could already be a deterrent from them and only those idiots whose IQ is below zero tried to attack him.
As time pass by, Allen couldn’t discover any good monster to become a mount.
There were wolves, wild horned horses, boars or bears but the moment they stand before him, they couldn’t help but started trembling all over and felt weak.
This was the worst aspect of the Monster King’s prestige. He could take them and let Tang Yu use them but what about him? Walk all the way? Damn! That’s too pitiful!
Looking at their actions, Allen could guess their levels should be at most Lv3 and below…
Well, they did say that a King’s mount is also a King!
It means that to be a King’s mount, the mount needed to be special. Whether they are the most elegant, the most beautiful, the strongest or the fastest… that is the true mount of the King. It needed qualifications to carry a king!
Feeling helpless, Allen proceeded towards the deepest part of the forest.
Finally, he met a strong looking Lion with blazing mane, it was a Flame Lion and from Allen’s estimate, it was a Lv5 monster. It was a strong one.
However, it was too hot to ride on.
His butt would certainly be grilled if he won’t cast an armored carapace on it so Allen decided to might as well catch it and made it as a reserve, putting it on the summoning grimoire.
The second monster that caught his attention was a half meter long purple caterpillar. It was a rare monster known as [ Poison Breath ].
This monster breathes very poisonous gas and spits a sticky silk like adhesive. This monster evolves into a [ Silk Larvae ] until it becomes an [ Aurora Butterfly ].
It’s a very beautiful butterfly monster with colorful wings; however, its poison could kill a Lv5 Superhuman in just a blink of an eye. In short, it was a scary monster.
While capturing it, Allen managed to inhale some poison gas but fortunately he had managed to acquire his [ Lower Poison Immunity ] beforehand. Currently, he could feel his skill rising at a very quick pace as if it was injected with steroids.
After successfully capturing [ Poison Breath ], there were already no other monsters that had caught his eye. At first, aside from the mount, what he wanted to find was [ Fang Panda ] or some other panda monsters, in any case, he was in China so he just wants to see some Panda!!
"Should be around here somewhere..."
A few hours after walking through the forest and his sight cleared, he was standing on the bank of the enormous river.
It is glittering with sparkles, and it seems like a very sacred river.
Allen wanted to drink and rest when suddenly his eyes caught something. His mouth opened wide as he couldn’t help but blink trying to see if what he was seeing was an illusion or not. But no matter how many he closed and opened his eyes, the illusion seems to have no intention of disappearing.
No, it was no illusion!
It was real!
A pure white horse with very beautiful and soft looking fur and tail. A single spiral style horn could be seen on its forehead. That’s right! It’s none other than…
A Unicorn!!
Even in his previous life, Allen never had a Unicorn. He had a Pegasus but not a unicorn.
Even though he wanted it but Unicorns was a very rare creature that said to be, only beautiful pure maidens could see. Maybe the Unicorns are hiding their selves from him since he was a not-so pure man at all?
But now, in front of him was a very beautiful Unicorn quietly drinking in the river. This spectacular scene was like a very beautiful portrait of a master painter.
It was truly a very beautiful sight.
An out of this world image giving out a holy feeling.
As Allen was silently admiring the scene, at this moment, the Unicorn finally noticed that it was not alone in this place as it immediately turned its head and looked at the shameless intruder.
Pbllblblbl – It let out a snort and started clawing its right front leg. It's eyes reflecting a dangerous gleam.
“Wait, I meant no harm!” Allen immediately shouted out as soon as he noticed the dangerous development. However, the Unicorn didn’t want to listen and turned around, preparing to immediately leave.
But how could Allen let off this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Before the Unicorn could move, Allen’s entire body flashed and disappeared only reappearing in front of the Unicorn and immediately hugged its long beautiful neck.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
“Stop! Stop! I want to be friends!”
The Unicorn was started because of Allen’s sudden appearance but it was more angered when Allen grabbed its neck and embraced it. As if it was the most shameful thing to do, the Unicorn started thrashing like a wild mad horse!
It kicks its legs, stand on two hind legs and neighing and jump away, all the while trying to shake Allen away from it but sadly, Allen’s perseverance is demonic. Much less loosen; Allen was even smiling and laughing, enjoying the roller coaster like ride.
Seeing this, the Unicorn was even angrier but it couldn’t kick Allen when it was sticking to its neck like some sort of parasite so it could only jump very high in the sky to throw him off. Never did it think that Allen was never a normal human.
Allen’s body slowly merged or should it say, slowly passed through the Unicorn’s body and in a few minutes, much to the Unicorn’s dismay, Allen was already casually riding on its back.
Neeeiiigggghhhhhh!!!
The Unicorn galloped in the sky, madly shaking its body but Allen was still holding on for dear life. When it was already very high up, Allen finally made his move. He extended his arms and held the Unicorns head.
“Listen to me damn it!!” Allen yelled out as the sound of the wind howled furiously inside his eardrums.
Neeeiiigggghhhhhh!!!
The Unicorn shook its head and suddenly did a nose dive in the air, rotating its body in the process.
But Allen didn’t flinch and yelled, “”Submit!!” His hands cracked and golden small sparks of electricity flowed through his hands to the Unicorns entire body like golden playful snakes.
Neeeiiigggghhhhhh!!!
The Unicorn let out a painful sound and almost passed out.
This Unicorn’s pain tolerance is too low!? Allen paled. Not good!
Judging from the falling speed, the Unicorn had already lost its chance to stop the fall and it would crash into the ground.
Allen would be fine even if he fell into this height since he was a Lightning Human but the Unicorn would certainly die.
He immediately used [ Insect Morph ] and his body generated some armor-like carapaces and his legs changed into a long thin like that of a hook and clipped it on the Unicorn’s body.
He then rotated midair, used his lightning ability and strike the ground, trying to reduce the falling impact and if in any case there are any metal minerals under the ground, Allen could use it as a magnet.
Fortunately, the earth is as abundant as Adam and Eve’s paradise.
What you seek for, you will then find.
Allen could feel that under the earth not too deep, only a meter and half, he could feel some strong attraction it means that there’s some metal like things underneath.
With that as an opportunity, Allen exerted more power.
Bam!!
A loud explosion happens to cause dirt and dust to scatter.
When the clouds of dust cleared, Allen could be seen sitting while letting out huge breathes in the ground. Beside him was the body of the Unicorn, also panting in breaths.
“Man, I almost died to catch you~,” Allen said while patting the Unicorn’s head.
“Well then, you will submit right?” Allen smiled maliciously as he raised his hand, sparks circled his fingers.
He wasn’t asking but threatening. He was coercing!
Allen knows that a Unicorn would never allow being tamed by a man, much less the man who just hurt it.
The Unicorn could glare hatefully at Allen but it didn’t do anything again and instead let out a low snort. As reluctant as it is, it still knows what graciousness was. Although Allen was certainly the cause it was still saved by him in the end…
Smiling happily, Allen summoned his Grimoire and the Unicorn turned into a light, entering the book.
[ Unicorn Lv6
Duration: ---
A legendary creature that has been described since antiquity as a beast with a single large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead. It is often said that its horn has the power to render poisoned water potable and heal any kind of sickness or wounds, though no one had confirmed it as of yet. ]
“So it was a Lv6 monster but why is its pain tolerance so low. It should fight back more~” Allen wondered.
However, Unicorns are mythical beings just like Qilins and Dragons. Their base levels are far different from normal monsters as they were born already as Lv5 so just thinking a bit carefully, a Lv6 Unicorn is nothing but a child.
In the first place, Unicorns are not violent creatures. They never like fighting.
Scratching the back of his head, Allen stood up and started walking again. They landed not too far away from the river he was a while ago. It was just 4 – 5 minutes of walking distance.
After a short while, Allen finally returned to where the enormous river is at. He was currently happy as he had managed to catch a Unicorn.
However, just as he was walking towards the water to drink,
Something out of the ordinary happened!
Columns of water rose up from the river which after a moment reveals a long and white something standing in the river.
Before Allen comprehended what that was, the huge body raised its curved neck and said: “Human, you only not trespass on my territory you also even dared to attack any monster inside of it? You shall face the punishment you deserve!”
Those gleaming ruby colored slit eyes glared hatefully at Allen as if it wanted to eat him alive. It was very angry.
What was in front of Allen was an enormous serpent over 10m tall. It goes without saying, it was without a doubt a very strong monster that rules this area.
It just let him be since it was only one ‘weak’ human but it actually attacks and captured a unicorn in its territory? That’s a rudeness it cannot endure!!
The huge snake was extremely angry that it wanted to devour the human in front of it.
Since it calls himself a territory Lord then it should be very strong. And most importantly, since it can talk, it has a very high intelligence, meaning, its power and level should be more or less comparable to the Qilin.
Allen wasn’t the least faze over the Giant Serpent’s unexpected appearance. For him, it’s just another monster in his way.
Sadly, Allen flashed a cocky smile. Since it’s living in this river, it would be safe to assume that it’s a water element type monster.
As a lightning human, did Allen fear a water type monster? Of course not, in fact, he held the greatest advantage. As long as he won’t fall into the river then he’s safe.
“I can already see the ending!” Allen raised his hand up and adjusts his nonexistent and imaginary glasses.
Allen stared at the distant giant white snake, jumping away from the river, he softly called out to the white snake, “If you want to fight then come over here.”
“You impudent human! You’re going to regret this!!” - ‘Slither slithers slither’ Unknown to the danger, the giant white snake slowly began to move. Its enormous serpentine head raised high as it stared at Allen.
Its natural-born arrogance caused it to hold the human youth in front of it in no regard at all. According to its experience, humans like this youth were all very weak.
Even though there were some special people who supernatural powers but, this sort of youth even if he is one of them, he shouldn’t be that strong. As a monster reigning this area, It could squash a puny human easily.
Allen let out a light harrumph. Obviously, he felt the giant white snake’s contempt. However, go on, prideful creatures who think they’re on top will fall even heavily when they did.
The huge white snake howled in a high-pitched voice and its eyes and fangs sparkled. Two columns of water tornadoes appeared, sandwiching Allen in either side.
When the two water tornadoes collided with each other, the white snake casts a satisfied expression as if Allen’s death was already a predetermined result.
How could Allen be alive after being crushed by those two giant water tornadoes? He would be crushed into meat paste or broken into pieces like a wooden doll.
It didn't last even a minute. But that was natural, humans are such. They are weak and fragile.
“So weak,” The white snake muttered as it turned around and prepared to leave when,
“Is that so?” It heard a voice.
The white snake’s eyes widened to its maximum but before it could turn around it suddenly feel its body freezing up, as though he had plummeted into a frozen cavern. An indescribable innate sense of fear rose up from its heart, as though it was facing a nemesis it could never defeat.
It subconsciously wanted to dive towards the river to escape. However, it was already too late as Allen had reappeared just above the back of the white snake’s huge head.
“[ Max 200 Million Volt Shocker Shock ]!” Allen extended his arms and dropped it on the snake’s huge head.
Crackle! Boom!!
“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!” The white snake felt its whole body screaming in pain as a huge electric current flowed inside of it. It doesn’t know how or where it came from but it was certainly related to the human.
Is this his power?!
It widened its ruby slit eyes and felt a baffling sense of panic. However, for some reason, its body had turned stiff in its spot, preventing the snake from moving. In fact, because of having electrocuted, it’s entirely gone numb for a moment.
The huge white snake let out a burning smoke but Allen was not dumb enough to proclaim that this battle had already ended. This monster is a very strong monster and it would never be defeated with just one attack.
