A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 455: Is He Your Mount Too?

Translator: Lonelytree

Pegasus and Nightmare were extremely rare high-level mounts.

From the attributes.

The Golden Pegasus was Level 15, which was already very high for a mount.

Pegasi were shy by nature and rarely appeared in the eyes of humans, let alone in civilized society.

Even in the Heaven Realm, they lived in the deep mountains and lakes far away from the Divine Kingdom.

Pegasi often flew across the sky in groups, but very few creatures could observe their tracks because of their passive ability.

[Light of Concealment: During the day, when a Pegasus runs in the sky, its body will emit a strange halo that will envelop itself and the rider. This halo has a remarkable invisibility ability. Only those with a Perception of 20 points or higher can detect abnormalities in the sky.]

[In most cases, people would only notice a faint white line in the sky.]

[However, at night, under the influence of the moonlight, the hidden light will turn into an unusually eye-catching bright starlight.]

They kept a low profile during the day but were dazzling at night.

This was the characteristic that this ability granted to the Pegasus and its owner.

Other than that.

The Pegasus had a steady gait and strong stability. Whether it was running or flying, the rider would not feel bumpy at all.

The Golden Pegasus was one of the best among the Pegasi.

It also had two additional characteristics.

[Easy to Disguise: You only need to use a basic cantrip (Disguise) to disguise the Pegasus as an ordinary colt.]

[The Golden Pegasus understood its master’s cantrip.] [It will cooperate with you to disguise itself as a mediocre colt.] [Until you need it to shine.]

[Perseverance: The Golden Pegasus gives the rider a temporary higher toughness when riding. This attribute can greatly reduce the probability of the rider falling off when being attacked on horseback.]

[Note: With this characteristic, you can perform more fancy tricks on the horse without falling off the horse.]

The Golden Pegasus’ attributes were indeed outstanding.

It was mainly because of his good temper, easy communication, high cooperation, and more diverse riding postures.

But on the other side…

The Red Flame Nightmare’s interface was not inferior either. In fact, its overall attributes were slightly higher than the Pegasus!

Flaming Nightmare (Purgatory Creature/Level 16)

Special characteristic–

[Fire Immunity: The Flame Nightmare can grant the rider immunity to all forms of fire, including magic fire, hellish fire, and even heavenly fire.]

[Illumination: The Nightmare Moment emits bright light within a 3 -meter radius, as well as faint light for the space more than 3 meters away.]

Ability-

[Gaze of Fear: The eyes of Nightmare can release a gaze that contains negative energy. Any living creature that looks into its eyes will be affected by the Fear effect. Once it enters the Fear state, the Nightmare can bite off the opponent’s head and devour their soul.]

[Ether Jump: The Nightmare can enter the Ether Plane from the material plane with up to three willing creatures within 1.5 meters of it. They can stay in the

Ether Plane for up to 10 minutes.]

In comparison, the Flame Nightmare was more suitable as a warhorse.

Its combat ability and escape ability were both stronger than the Pegasus.

Matthew climbed up Nightmare to try it out.

He realized that this fellow was not at all content and always liked to shake around.

Although there was a saddle on its back to ease the impact, Matthew’s waist and crotch would definitely not be able to withstand it after a long time.

Nightmare’s personality was flamboyant.

He carried Matthew and ran to the Pegasus to show off. The latter glared at him in disgust, then looked at Matthew and ran away silently. In order to prevent Pegasus from misunderstanding.

Matthew decisively ended the test ride.

He actually liked both mounts, so from the beginning, he did not consider only choosing one. Instead, he was thinking about how to keep both of them by his side.

This was very difficult.

Pegasus and Nightmare were sworn enemies.

Their opposing relationship was perhaps even more serious than the enmity between Heaven and Purgatory.

In the legends.

The first generation of Nightmare was created by a certain Lord of the Nine Hells who had captured the King of Flying Pegasi from the heavens, plucked its wings out alive, and then poured the power of Purgatory and dark magic into it.

The credibility of this legend was extremely high.

The Nightmares were not afraid of the Heavenly Flames because they were once Heavenly Creatures.

And the Pegasus Race viewed the existence of Nightmare as a great humiliation.

When the two sides met, it was usually the Pegasus that attacked the Nightmare first. However, in terms of overall strength, the Pegasus was indeed inferior to the Nightmare. As the two sides fought, it became the Nightmare would chase after the Pegasus.

But Pegasus could fly, but Nightmare couldn’t.

Therefore, in terms of running, Pegasus always had the advantage.

As time passed.

Nightmare also hated Pegasi.

The relationship between the two could be said to be like fire and water.

Matthew knew that it was unrealistic to convince them to serve the same master.

So he thought for a moment and took the lead to come in front of the Pegasus. He gently patted its head and said,

“Welcome to my forest.

“Mr. Obast, please bring our new companion to the forest for a walk.”

Matthew called out.

The Centaur Obast arrived at the first moment.

Under Nightmare’s hostile gaze, Obast looked at the Golden Pegasus in surprise for a while before leading him towards the World Tree.

The Golden Pegasus sneezed proudly.

He left as the winner.

The Nightmare horse stomped its feet unhappily. It lowered its proud head and prepared to leave silently..
