Chapter 637: PAID

Childhood Friend of the ZenithWords: 1977

The creature's appearance was strikingly similar to Dol-dol's riding dragon, though not identical.

Its head shape was eerily similar, but the body was completely different. While Dol-dol resembled a snake, this creature’s body was more akin to that of a tiger or lion, with a tail reminiscent of a serpent—a hybrid monstrosity.

Looking at the bizarre beast, a single thought arose.

White.

The final color in the ranking of demonic beasts: green, blue, red, and white. For ages, white-ranked beasts had not appeared alongside the red-ranked ones. Even in his past life, Gu Yangcheon had never encountered one.

"What the hell is that…?"

The words escaped his lips in disbelief.

"Grrrrrrr—! Aaaaaahhh—!!!"

Its deafening roar sent vibrations through his body.

The creature was enormous, covered in gleaming white scales. Its size was so vast it seemed as if several red-ranked beasts had combined into one.

Even a single red-ranked beast was larger than most buildings, so how could one describe a creature of this magnitude?

Gu Yangcheon grimaced as he assessed it.

Crash—!

The sheer weight of its movements caused tremors that rippled through the surroundings.

Boom!

An iceberg crumbled, and the nearby forest was obliterated.

Historical accounts described white-ranked beasts as calamities that could bring disaster just by existing.

‘If something like that moves, of course it’s a catastrophe.’

It felt as though a mountain was alive and moving—not quite as grand as Mount Tai, but close.

‘Where in the world did that thing come from?’

Crack—!

Amidst the piercing cold, the beast continued its rampage.

"Aaaaah—!"

Boom!

Its tail lashed out, crushing people beneath it. In its wake, only pulverized remains were left.

Gu Yangcheon extended his senses and shifted his gaze.

‘The Magyeong Gate?’

He couldn’t be entirely sure if this was truly a white-ranked beast. However, if it were a demonic beast, it must have emerged from the Magyeong Gate.
