Golden Crown Serpent's Friendship and the Fall of the Viper Bandit Group

Chapter 1307

At the height of the Northend World, only the mighty mage who won the friendship of the Golden Crown Serpent learned this secret: the Golden Crown Serpent devours toxins—or, more precisely, it devours whatever is detrimental to the world itself.

What the Golden Crown Serpent consumes are things harmful to the plane it inhabits. Outwardly, this manifests as extreme venom.

So, a living Golden Crown Serpent is invaluable. When Bain conquered the Undead Plane and learned of this, and as the magic of the Northend World began to fade, people tried to persuade the Golden Crown Serpent to return to Northend. But by then, it was already too late...

Making friends with the Golden Crown Serpent first—then, when the Natural Semi-Plane matures enough, coaxing Rick to settle there—means that unless a disaster destroys the entire semi-plane, no minor trouble could ever arise.

Triumphant, Leon led his people away from the collapsing pocket dimension. Rick had forcibly crossed out, and his immense body had pushed the small plane to its breaking point.

After transplanting a large patch of Venomwyrm Grass, Leon left for good.

Originally, he only meant to wipe out the Viper Bandit Group and rescue Young Parkinson, but he ended up discovering something unexpected. That’s why Leon mobilized a large force of his subordinates.

The result, of course, was a windfall: gaining Rick’s friendship was tantamount to winning over the entire Golden Crown Serpent clan. Not only do they live long and possess terrifying intelligence, their strength is monstrous. Rick might seem only forty-five or forty-six in rank, but he could easily crush hundreds of Sky Rank mages at once.

If the Golden Crown Serpent got involved, with its colossal size, any territory in the Odin Kingdom could be leveled in less than ten days. And if it deliberately released its venom, hundreds of kilometers would become a wasteland in minutes.
