They all call me Great Master

The young 'Spirit Medium's' soft inquiry. Fell on the ears of the surrounding people like a clap of thunder. Since the Empire Era, whether Nobles or Mystic Side Persons, it has been customary to raise Arcane Creatures. Not only do Arcane Creatures showcase one's status, but they also become invaluable assistants to their owners. Even, they could form a complementarity. In the early times of the Empire Era, there rose a hunter in South County who wielded dual scimitars and was accompanied by a female panther. Not to mention that during the middle and late Empire Era, Arcane Creatures became indispensable partners of hunters until the start of the Holy Era, when hunters were gradually incorporated into The Holy Court and this phenomenon slowly disappeared. However, no matter the era, acquiring an Arcane Creature always required raising it from a young age. Like this, directly taming one? Apart from that hunter with a female panther and dual scimitars, there had never been word of anyone accomplishing such a feat. And that panther was just an Arcane Creature. But the Giant Snake before them? A Ferocious Beast! It was only after reaching the Entry-level that one could be termed 'Ferocious Beast'! Impossible! It absolutely couldn't be tamed! That's what everyone present thought. Marinda and 'Storm Sword' Deljo were even ready for combat. Smoke swirled around this lady, within which lurked rich, deep shadows, the flickering Soul Fire marking the eyes of these Lost Souls. Any creature that met their gaze would shiver from head to toe as though plunged into an ice cellar. Deljo, on the other hand, was more straightforward. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The wind, one gust following another. Sharpness, and swiftness. With these two as a reminder, everyone else also began adjusting their state of readiness. Then— The Giant Snake lowered its head, as large as a house, and issued a low hiss. As if it were... Acting coquettishly? Marinda blinked, wanting to confirm whether she was experiencing an illusion, but her intuition told her there was no illusion, and certainly no phantasm. Everything was real. The Giant Snake had truly submitted to Arthur. Even though she could hardly believe it, it had truly happened. Almost unconsciously, the lady began to sing softly— "Eternal Monster, inheritor of the Rebellious Bloodline, creator of Twilight of the Gods, reverer of the Northern Gods, wielder of the Blade of Chaos, possessor of Leviathan's Axe, Kledos..." Previously, the lady hadn't really taken Arthur's introduction of his family's words to heart. But now? The lady began to re-evaluate. She started paying attention to each word, each term. She whispered to herself. "Monster? Kledos? Twilight of the Gods?" Her Spirituality told her she was on the verge of grasping the crux of the matter, but there was still something missing. If she could just grasp that particular thing, she would understand the truth. Was it the Blade of Chaos? Or Leviathan's Axe? The lady wished she could perform a Divination right then and there. But she knew it wasn't appropriate. Right now, as Arthur's 'beloved,' all she needed to do was smile. The lady took a deep breath at the bottom of her heart and a smile that said everything was as expected appeared on her face. But the others around her were not so calm. 'Storm Sword' Deljo now wished he could kneel down and kiss the shoes of his lord. Time and again, Deljo found himself underestimating his lord's strength, but each and every time, his lord would rapidly shatter his perceptions, elevating his power to an unimaginable level. Once, twice, thrice... By this moment, Deljo's heart had become completely numb. The 'Storm Sword' even believed deep down that the lord he followed was omnipotent. After all, even an entry-level ferocious beast had submitted to a single casual command. What else could be impossible? Everyone's gaze towards Arthur changed again and again, from shock and horror to complete willing submission. But Little Winna was different. The lady with an injured mind opened her mouth and asked— "Can I touch it?" "Of course! Nidhogg... no, Yemeng is quite willing to let you touch it." Arthur casually named the black giant snake before him. And with that naming, text began to flicker before Arthur's eyes— [Nidhogg (Mutated Titan Python): Nidhogg was originally just an ordinary jungle snake, but after being discovered by Geppetto, it fortuitously or unfortunately became the test subject of this mad master. It was injected with the blood of several ancient serpent species, among them the titan python's bloodline sparked the faint power of Nidhogg's own bloodline, enabling it to begin evolving. In the course of this evolution, Geppetto continuously added various bloodline samples, eventually not limiting to serpent species but also including some dragon species. This caused Nidhogg great pain, but it dared not resist the master, even if the mad master ordered it to sever its own tail, it did not dare to rebel! Luckily, Nidhogg's first task was to guard this place, and in the hundreds of years that followed, Nidhogg's bloodline became increasingly intense and ascended. Its size grew madly, but it still remembered the command of the mad master, until it met you. The bloodlines of several ancient snakes within sensed the greatness and eternity of the 'Serpent of Death,' causing it to see you as kin, a fatherly or brotherly figure.] [Effects: 1, Mutated Body; 2, Dragon Armor; 3, Serpent's Breath; 4, Command] [Mutated Body: Nidhogg has a body far beyond the imagination of ordinary people and continues to grow non-stop. Its colossal size grants it immense strength, making it fearless in the face of fire, frost, poison, and illusions. However, it appears vulnerable to thunder, and in seawater, Nidhogg will be doubly effective; Current stage: 40 meters long, 4 meters thick] [Dragon Armor: The blood of dragons gave Nidhogg a special scale armor that not only ignores most physical attacks but also handles attacks from fire, frost, and poison with ease. Even facing direct hits from large caliber cannons will leave it unharmed, and it can activate a shield that envelops its entire body capable of withstanding 3 attacks at 'entry-level.'] [Serpent's Breath: It can exhale a conical cloud of poison with a 30-degree angle reaching up to 300 meters or expel fireballs and iceballs with a diameter matching its body, but cannot breathe lightning. Its attack power does not exceed entry-level.] [Command: Can command snake swarms within a 50-kilometer radius.] (Note 1: Nidhogg has a remarkable appetite, needing to consume large amounts of food; gold can substitute food, and moonlight also gives it a feeling of satiety.) (Note 2: After Nidhogg consumes a large quantity of food, its body will grow rapidly.) (Note 3: Dragon Armor and Serpent's Breath grow stronger as Nidhogg's body increases in size.) (Note 4: The exhaled conical poison cloud can become what is commonly known as miasma, covering certain areas or moving with the wind.) (Note 5: The snakes commanded by Nidhogg, as long as their rank does not surpass Nidhogg, will be unable to resist it.) … Arthur gazed at the text before him, his mouth curving into a slight smile. Clearly, his fleet was going to be much safer. Only... 'Is thunder the natural nemesis of snakes?' Arthur pondered, stroking his chin. Meanwhile, Little Winna was shouting excitedly— "Sister! Sister! Look, it has horns!" Upon hearing Little Winna's shout, everyone looked closely and indeed discovered two small horns on top of Nidhogg's head. These two small horns were only the size of a fist, and on the head of Nidhogg, they looked like two little bumps, hardly noticeable. If not for Little Winna, no one would have noticed. However, people quickly averted their gaze. Because they sensed Nidhogg's displeasure. In the eyes of a figure like a father or brother like Arthur, Nidhogg was docile, but towards others? They were nothing but insects. On this, Arthur had no intention of correcting. The young 'Spirit Medium' simply patted Nidhogg gently. Immediately, the black giant snake twisted its body and completely cleared the path behind it. Suddenly, an open-plan house came into everyone's view. A large number of books and experimental equipment were organized by category. But what caught the eye the most was a display cabinet. The cabinet was divided into upper and lower sections. On the top was a mask. On the bottom was a dagger. Arthur skimmed over the rest of the items. But upon seeing that very familiar mask, the young 'Spirit Medium' grew tense inside— He had to have that mask!
