Chapter 937: Chapter 0934: Creating a Rainbow (Fourth Update, Alliance Hierarch Additional Update 19/147)
The holy Unicorn, like a sculpture of white jade in the form of a majestic Pegasus, exuded a faintly discernible rainbow light around its body.
Its golden spiraling horn undisputedly displayed its nobility.
The soft mane and tail seemed to be woven from the clouds on the horizon, and its streamlined body combined strength with aesthetic appeal. A pair of broad and flawless wings didn’t appear out of place but instead further highlighted the Unicorn’s transcendent and refined nature. Its hooves trod on empty space, creating ripples like rings of mist.
Aside from its golden horn, the only part not white on its body were those large black and bright eyes.
Due to the distance, the details were unclear, but the eyes, resembling black gemstones, suddenly elevated the creature’s aloof and pure stance, giving it a lively and interesting character.
It slowly walked up to Ach, snorted like a horse, and then watched him intently.
Showing affection.
Ach was very short, and the Unicorn was about four meters tall, similar in stature to Liszt’s King of Black Blood Treasure Horses, Lightning. She wished to reach out and touch the Unicorn’s head, but couldn’t, and yet the Unicorn quickly bowed its head, allowing Ach to laugh and stroke its spiral golden horn.
“Indeed, the legends are true,” Liszt murmured with a sense of wonder as he observed the harmonious interaction between man and nature through his telescope.
He wasn’t angry at all about the directive to “keep his distance” for the Smoke Mission.
He was actually very pleased that Ach had gained the favor of the Unicorn, as the purpose of the trip had been to find a suitable mount for Ach.
The more noble and holy the Unicorn was, the more fitting it was for Ach’s status.
“Now I’m even more curious to know how many legendary creatures and treasures really exist. If Unicorns, which are even more majestic than Storm Dragon Horses, truly exist, then might there also be real Phoenixes beyond the Flame Dragon Birds? And what lies beyond the Lightning Dragon Turtles?”
And there are many other creatures of legend that are just as magical as the Unicorn.
The Hellhound Cerberus that reigned over the Exiled Lands, the colossal Leviathan that roamed the Devil’s Sea, the chimera with the heads of a goat, lion, and serpent combined, the giant wolf Fenrir that raced across the icy lands, the world-encircling serpent Ouroboros, and the invincible giant lion Nemean.
Not to mention the guardian of the Golden Apples, the Ladon Dragon that could not fly and only ran on the ground.
Additionally, the legends also spoke of Sub-dragons as powerful as Dragons, ocean giants like Leviathan, land behemoths like Behemoth, and sky giants like Ziz.
“Do these creatures all exist, and are they as magical as the legends say?” Liszt wasn’t willing to believe there were creatures stronger than Dragons, but he had seen the cuts on the hind legs of a Jade Dragon, obviously left by a creature more terrifying than a Sacred Dragon.
He had also obtained the wood of the Tree of Golden Apples, and the handle of the Time Scepter was made from this wood—where there were Trees of Golden Apples, naturally, there were Golden Apples.
And why wouldn’t the Ladon Dragon guarding the Golden Apples really exist?
What’s more, Liszt had once glimpsed an even greater existence—the Dragon of the Magic Web—whose magic power supported the entire civilization of magic.
If such incredible creatures could exist, what was impossible?
“This magical world—anything is possible,” he continued, observing the distant Unicorn through his telescope.
Using the naked eye, the Unicorn’s appearance was clearly visible, but as soon as he executed the Crystal White Trajectory, the Unicorn vanished from sight. Neither the glow of magic feedback nor the crystalline structure of the Unicorn was visible, as if such a creature had never existed.
Quite miraculous, it made Liszt very eager to investigate.
But he refrained from approaching, giving Ach time to tame the Unicorn.
…
Unlike Liszt’s taming of a Dragon, the Unicorn approached Ach on its own and quickly knelt down its forelegs, lowering its body to let Ach step onto its wings and climb aboard.
Although it had gained an extra pair of wings, this did not impede riding.
Ach’s horsemanship had become skilled, so he was soon able to ride the Unicorn and leisurely stroll on the ground. The surrounding Storm Dragon Horses and Pegasus seeing the Unicorn approach, all lowered their heads in submission as vassals would to their Landlord.
It wasn’t clear what relationship the Unicorn had with the Pegasus, but within the Pegasus Herd, the Unicorn was king, the Storm Dragon Horse a level below, with Pegasus being the lowest tier.
After running slowly for a moment, the Unicorn quickly flapped its wings and took to the air.
Its wings seemed more for show, barely flapping at all. Yet its flying speed was not slow at all, like a shooting star that suddenly soared into the sky, then just as suddenly descended atop the treetops. Faster and more agile than the teleport-like flight of the Formless Dragon, the most unique feature was the rainbow it trailed behind when flying at high speed.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet; the colors were not very distinct, and they quickly dissipated, but the effect they produced was absolutely dreamlike.
It wasn’t surprising that Ach quickly took a liking to this Unicorn.
Even Liszt, watching from a distance, felt his girlish heart stir, yearning for a Unicorn that could create rainbows.
After about half an hour of flying in the sky, the Unicorn began to fly towards Liszt’s location with Ach on its back. As it neared the material boundary where the Formless Dragon was hiding, the Unicorn hesitated for a while, seeming to know that the Formless Dragon was concealed within the material boundary and feeling wary.
It wasn’t clear what Ach said to it, but the Unicorn relaxed again, slowly approaching the Formless Dragon.
“Big brother, let Bard out, Ach has already spoken with the Unicorn.”
Upon hearing Ach’s shout, Liszt appeared from the material boundary, quietly floating in the sky. Bard stared at the Unicorn with curiosity, and both it and Liszt took a liking to this Unicorn that could create rainbows.

“Wowarr!”
Bard attempted a greeting.
“Hmph.” The Unicorn snorted from the other side, and it was unclear if it was responding to Bard.
“Ach, can the Unicorn understand what you’re saying?” Liszt’s eyes twinkled, really wanting to ride the Unicorn to prove he was also pure of heart.
“The Unicorn is very impressive, big brother, it can not only understand what Ach is saying but also directly communicate with Ach telepathically. It also has many magical qualities, it’s just that since it has never encountered humans before, many of its habits and abilities are waiting to be slowly explored by Ach.”
“It has never encountered humans before?” Liszt steered Bard down slightly to take a closer look under the Unicorn and saw it was bare, “So is it male or female?”
“Big brother, Unicorns have no gender.”
“No gender?”
“Yes, like Dragons and Elves, they have no gender. But Ach does not know where it came from; even the Unicorn itself does not know. It has lived among the Pegasus Herd from the time it could remember, raised by a mother Pegasus. And now, all of the Pegasus in the Pegasus Great Forest listen to it.”
“So does it letting you ride mean that it recognizes you as its master?”
“I don’t know, it just really likes Ach, and Ach really likes the Unicorn, and then it’s willing to follow Ach’s commands.” Ach smiled proudly, like a child who had received a beloved toy, even though she had become a knowledgeable Archmage, she still retained the purity of a Sea Serpent.
Perhaps it was this innocence that attracted the sacred Unicorn.
“There’s no contract triggered, or a mind meld of sorts?”
“Nope, it’s just telepathic communication.”
Hearing that there was no contract between Ach and the Unicorn or a mind meld like Dragon Riding, Liszt was somewhat disappointed.
He actually had more faith in the binding of contracts, but since there was no contract, the best thing might be to lure the Unicorn and the entire Pegasus Herd to Flame Island.
So he said, “Ach, ask the Unicorn if it is willing to lead the Pegasus Herd to live on Flame Island. I can allocate the best grasslands for them to live freely… no, better not ask yet. Let’s get to know the Unicorn better after spending a couple of days with it.”
