Chapter 510 - Subduing a Unicorn
GDK 510: Subduing a Unicorn
Unfortunately for the unicorn, its opponent this time was no longer a cyclops. Despite his enormity, the cyclops could never catch up to the unicorn. Han Shuo, however, was obviously much faster than the cyclops.
Upon witnessing the unicorn flee him, Han Shuo ceased to mind the cyclops and immediately went after the unicorn. Without even going all-out, Han Shuo’s speed had exceeded that of the unicorn. By the time it had galloped a few hundred meters, the lightning-fast Han Shuo had off blocked the unicorn in its escape path.
Typically, if one wished to take a magical beast as their pet, they had to first possess enough strength to even face it. Only those who had displayed strength sufficient to gain their reverence were qualified to communicate with them. Otherwise, any amount of talking would be futile.
Thus, traveling far quicker than the unicorn, Han Shuo blocked off the path ahead of it with zero hesitation and immediately set about releasing two necromancy spells – the Boundary of Weakness and Boundary of Fear. They were proficiently deployed by Han Shuo and enveloped whole miles in their surroundings.
Against all expectations, after the Boundaries of Weakness and Fear were deployed, all sorts of magical beasts within the coverage area were affected, regardless of their ranks – that is, except for the unicorn. It refused to give up running as fast as it was flying. With each hurdle it would cross more than a dozen meters. It made a sharp turn and prepared to escape in another direction.
The unicorn’s white horn sparkled with a bizarre luster. Pure, holy energy flowed from its horn, which seemed to purify the Boundaries of Weakness and Fear. It was not affected by the two boundaries in the slightest.
Han Shuo was astonished, but returned to his senses soon after. Unicorns possessed fantastic horns with the ability to purify sinister energy. It appeared that the Boundary of Weakness and the Boundary of Fear fell within that scope.
Despite the ineffectiveness of his measures, Han Shuo was not at all discouraged. In the blink of an eye, he yet again stood in the unicorn’s way. This time, Han Shuo did not utilize necromancy magic, but positioned himself right beside the unicorn. Before it could react, his lightning-fast hands were wrapped around it.
This unicorn had not been afraid of the cyclops. It had even used magic spells to trample him over. But faced against Han Shuo, it had not a glimmer of courage left. This clever creature could sense that Han Shuo was a formidable one, and knew that it did not stand a fighting chance. Therefore, it turned on its heel and ran.
Han Shuo heard all those words that the unicorn muttered to herself but did not say a word. At this moment, the sound of heavy, thumping footsteps grew louder and louder. A massive silhouette a distance away gradually revealed itself.
The cyclops slowly approached and walked to Han Shuo’s side. He was amazed to see the unicorn standing politely in front of Han Shuo and asked, “How did you get it to be so obedient all of a sudden?”
“Well of course. What could it do otherwise?” Han Shuo smiled. He then began to size the cyclops up, internally weighing if the cyclops had any worthy uses for him to exploit.
Rumbles… It sounded as though the sky had fallen in the distant depths of the Dark Forest. For it to have been heard so loudly in spite of the great distances, some major event must have taken place.
The unicorn and cyclops obviously heard this noise as well. They both revealed fearful looks in their eyes.
“Does any of you know what lies at the deepest part of the forest?” when Han Shuo saw the two revealed fearful looks, he furrowed his brows and asked.
“I don’t. But several days ago I saw an enormous greater dragon enter. That powerful creature was just as mighty as you, it ought to have been a rank five greater dragon,” the unicorn replied with a quiver in her voice.
The unicorn was only rank three. A fifth grade greater dragon was equivalent to a demigod in the human world. Her fear was not unreasonable.
“I dare not venture there either. However, there seems to be a lot of mighty beings that have entered recently, as if some sort of massive change was happening inside,” the cyclops added.
“Oh?” Han Shuo stared blankly before continuing with a pensive look, “Then I shall go in to take a look. Unicorn, you stay here. I will be back for you.”
Han Shuo instantly took off into the depths of the Dark Forest.
