Chapter 152: Diamond Mammoth, Becoming a Saint Domain Great Magician

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the 34th level of Dragon God Tower, chilly winds howled in the brilliant white snow.

This was a world completely covered in snow and ice. As far as the eye could see, it was a total expanse of white.

Underneath the feet was a thick layer of snow while tall, lofty ice mountains were in the distance. Crystal-clear snowflakes floated and scattered about with the wind, dancing as they did so.

“A single pear blossom puts down the begonia, and thousands upon thousands of pear blossoms bloom. There’s only one word to describe this—beautiful!”

Meng Lei stepped on the waist-deep snow, producing crisp crunching sounds as he did so. With light taps of his feet against the ground, he started to hop about on the surface of the snow.

As a southerner that lived near the sea, he had only seen snow a few times since he was young. Upon seeing such a beautiful snowscape, he found it especially novel and interesting.

Ol’ Amos’ voice, which carried a teasing note to it, rang out. “Kid, you’ve never seen snow before, have you?”

“Yeah, I haven’t,” Meng Lei replied as he admired the snow leisurely.

“The Fire Dragon Kingdom has a warm climate all year round, so it has rarely snowed in the last thousands of years. It’s very normal that you haven’t seen snow before.”

Ol’ Amos flew out of the spatial ring. As he gazed into the boundless snowfields in the distance, he was filled with emotion and sighed. “Speaking of which, I’ve not seen snow for over 20,000 years now.”

“Watching the swirling snow covering the sky as you think about the past?” A mirthful Meng Lei said, “Ol’ President, you must be feeling especially emotional at the sight of the snow now after experiencing that Ice Age catastrophe at the Meteor Plains back then.”

“Yes, you’re right. Back then...”

It was a rare occasion whenever Ol’ Amos was actually overflowing with enthusiasm, and he launched into an unceasing torrent of words as he recounted the past. It was just a shame that he hadn’t gotten far before he was rudely interrupted.

Boom!

The ground suddenly began to shake. Then, an enormous object that was snowy-white throughout came crushing toward them.

It was a snowy-white color throughout, and its body was covered in thick, needle-like fur. It looked like a gigantic elephant, except it had a single horn on its forehead. It stood at 100-meters-tall and had two long, transparent crystal-clear tusks that looked as though they were diamonds.

“That’s the Saint Domain Magical Beast, the Diamond Mammoth!”

Ol’ Amos’ eyes widened at the sight of it, and he shouted, “The Diamond Mammoth is an Ice-Elemental and Wind-Elemental Magical Beast! Not only is it skilled at both ice-elemental and wind-elemental magic, but it also possesses Herculean strength and has peerless defenses.

“It’s much harder to deal with than the Golden Steel Wind-Ape that you encountered earlier. Be careful. Don’t let it send you crashing to death!”

“An Ice-Elemental Magical Beast? Tsk, tsk. I’ve finally run into an Ice-Elemental Magical Beast!” Meng Lei licked his lips as he said in his mind, “Before we talk about anything else, system! Steal the Diamond Mammoth’s ice-elemental magic talent!”

Isn’t it just 2 billion gold coins?

I’m overflowing with cash right now!

2 billion? Easy-peasy!

The system stated coldly, “Ding! Stealing the Diamond Mammoth’s ice-elemental magic talent requires 23 billion gold coins. Will you steal it?”

“Of cour— Wait! 23 billion gold coins?!”

Meng Lei’s eyes widened in shock. “Am I hearing things, system? 23 billion gold coins? Are you kidding me?”

Stealing the Golden Steel Wind-Ape’s metal-elemental magic talent had only required 2 billion gold coins earlier, yet 23 billion gold coins are required now? You must be joking!

Both the Golden Steel Wind-Ape and the Diamond Mammoth were Saint Domain Magical Beasts. Although there was a difference in their combat strength, was there supposed to be such a huge difference in the costs?

“Dear host, the usage fee for Brutal Plunder is determined according to the target of plunder and the object of plunder!”

The system explained, “The Golden Steel Wind-Ape was already dead, so the difficulty level in plundering was lower. However, the Diamond Mammoth is still very much alive and kicking. Hence, the difficulty level in plundering is relatively higher!”

“Different levels of difficulty result in different usage fees!”

“...”
