Its shape resembles a combination of a feline claw and an eagle's claw, with paw pads and sharp, retractable claws, and scales that shimmer with obsidian luster.
Those are dragon claws.
After entering the game, he completely lost his human form and transformed into an alien monster of the "dragon" race.
Four enormous dragon horns, two pointing forward and two curving upward, grow arrogantly on its head like a crown. Behind it are three pairs of dragon wings that are more than twice the size of its body when unfolded, and a tail as long as its body trails behind it.
Its body is covered with large, shell-like keratinous layers and fine scales.
Its overall structure is quite different from that of dragons in traditional Western mythology.
With its limbs being longer and more slender, it resembles a combination of dragon and demon features. Even when it stands up and wields weapons or engages in combat, it doesn't feel out of place.
Rather than a hideous monster, it's more like an evil work of art.
Its size is not too exaggerated. Excluding its tail and wings, its shoulder height is less than two meters when it is on all fours, and only about four meters, which is roughly equivalent to the largest land rhinoceros.
Of course, it has long been extinct in this day and age.
If it were a monster, a dragon would naturally be much larger than this. However, as a player-created character, it is impossible to be as huge as a real monster; the current size is already the limit.
The setting is that the true body shape is hidden by magic, and in doing so, a shapeshifting magic that is said to be able to change the body shape at will but is unusable.
ID: Nidhogg.
This is the character that Xia Yan has spent years, investing a lot of time and energy, and a large sum of money to create, and is recognized as the strongest character in the entire game.
In fact, under normal circumstances, players cannot create the "Dragon" race in the game YGGDRASIL.
At most, they can only create alien species like dragonmen.
However, since this is the general case, there will naturally be special cases.
The YGGDRASIL game is divided into nine worlds. In order to select a world champion for each world, the game company held eleven world championships.
That's right, eleven times.
Because Xia Yan won the world championship three times in a row.
However, we can't let him directly become the champion of three world championships.
To avoid the above situation, the organizers changed the competition rules, prohibiting the champion from participating repeatedly, and as compensation, Xia Yan was given a special race as a reward.
With the help of world items and a large amount of in-game purchase items, the effect is even more significant.
Only when all of these elements are combined can the absolutely invincible supermodel role be officially completed.
Because the player's strength was so outrageous and there was nothing unreasonable about it, a separate world-class boss was created, using Xia Yan's character as a template and adjusting the stats.
The thirty-third enemy of the world: "The world-devouring dragon".
As the third non-plural world-class boss, due to version issues, its strength is slightly higher than "Nine Luminaries World Devouring Demon" and "Sixth Heaven Lord - Evil God Bo Xun".
Although it ranks third from the bottom, it should not be underestimated.
After all, even the weakest enemy in the world, even if it is a legion consisting of six teams of up to six level 100 players, has a very low chance of winning.
"Twelve years..."
"The day has finally come..."
Although Xia Yan's life over the past twelve years could be described as extremely luxurious, he still looked forward to this day with great anticipation.
After all, it was his own power that brought him this life.
And today is the day when you can gain even greater power!
"Let me see, there are still thirty-two minutes left... That Momonga guy should be looking up at the sky in the Throne Room right now."
Xia Yan looked around.
He was currently in the Treasure Hall, located on the tenth level of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Since almost everyone in the guild was a passionate role-playing enthusiast, Xia Yan gradually joined in, influenced by what he saw and heard.
As a dragon, it naturally needs its own treasure.
Therefore, they bound their respawn point and login point to this room full of gold coins.
Of course, this is just a role-playing setting; in reality, he doesn't have any duties like guarding a treasure hall.
The air inside the treasure hall was filled with a pale purple gas.
That was a highly potent poison of the highest level of magic, released by the highest-level item, "The Blood of Jormungandr."
If you don't have items or abilities that make you immune to poison, you can kill someone on the spot in no more than three steps.
However, Xia Yan's race possesses the highest level of poison immunity skill, so for him it's almost equivalent to the effect of an air purifier.
In fact, these seemingly extravagant mountains of gold coins are actually just worthless items. They are simply piled up here for show because there is nowhere else to put them.
Even if you add them all up, their actual value is still less than a single piece of equipment he has.
The real treasures are hidden behind the coded doors.
"Ah~ There's no way to teleport directly to the Throne Hall. I was hoping to go there and surprise Ainz..."
Xia Yan gently turned the ring of Ainz Ooal Gown on his finger.
Although the Treasure Hall is on the tenth floor, it is not physically connected to other areas, so you must use the guild ring to enter or exit.
"Never mind, since there's a login notification, he should have seen it by now. Let's just go to the room closest to the throne room."
The next second, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Chapter Four: The Jade Record must have had a deeper meaning in doing this.
The Great Tomb of Nazarick
The tenth level.
The Throne Room
Three luxurious chandeliers made of seven-colored gemstones hung from the ceiling, shimmering with a dreamlike glow.
Forty-two large flags, each bearing the emblem of a member of a different guild, hung from the ceiling to the floor.
The room's overall structure resembles a wide, rectangular corridor; the space is so vast that even hundreds of people could be accommodated at the same time without feeling crowded.
The ceiling is also quite high, and the walls are white with various gold-toned decorative elements.
A bright red carpet was laid in the center of the room, and at the end of the carpet were steps leading to the throne.
At the end of the steps stood a colossal throne, seemingly carved from a giant crystal, with a backrest reaching for the sky.
—World-class item: Throne of Kings.
This achievement reward is only available to guilds that become the first in the entire server to clear a dungeon with a recommended level of LV80 or higher in the first encounter guide.
The effect is to grant a buff that protects the entire guild stronghold world and perfectly defends against magical detection from the outside.
Protects everything within the guild base from the effects of other world items, even if the opponent uses [Twenty], and prevents detection by intelligence-based magic.
This item can protect the Great Tomb of Nazarick from any outside interference, making it like an independent little world.
Meanwhile, Ainz Ooal Gown's guild master, Momonga, was sitting on the Throne of Kings.
His gaze was blank as he stared at the empty space before him, feeling the loneliness of a so-called king.
In fact, even Feisquirrel himself didn't know why he suddenly thought of coming to this room to take a look.
Despite its cool name, Throne Room, in the past, even when all forty-two members of Ainz Ooal Gown were present, few people would spend time here unnecessarily.
Because coming here serves no purpose other than sitting on this throne and experiencing the so-called loneliness of a king.
Furthermore, due to its excessively spacious layout, the presence of only one chair, and the lack of any other entertainment options, this place is not suitable for social activities.
In fact, when they're not out adventuring, most of the guild members stay on the ninth floor.
For discussions, there are various facilities such as a living room, reception room, round table conference room, and office.
For entertainment, there are plenty of options, including public bathhouses, restaurants, beauty salons, clothing stores, general stores, nail salons, and more.
Even dogs don't come to the throne room.
In fact, the original purpose of this place was simply to create a vast battlefield, without even setting up any dangerous areas.
It can be said that it was purely a product of everyone's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) without considering practical value.
According to Ulbert,
"Now that we've managed to reach this point, let's stand in this room like demon kings and give a grand welcome to the heroes. Although many people speak ill of us behind our backs, we should still fulfill our duties as hosts and greet them openly and honorably!"
This proposal was approved by the majority of people as soon as it was put forward.
And so this room was born, with each person designing a flag to represent themselves and leaving it on the wall.
Everyone gathered for a group photo.
It was never used again after that.
"Hasn't he arrived yet, Nighogdsan..."
Looking at the names that were still not lit up on the guild list, Ainz Ooal Gown rested his chin on his hand and let out a bored groan.
His gaze wandered aimlessly, scanning from the chandelier to the cracks in the floor tiles, passing over the faces of every NPC, and finally settling on the beautiful female NPC standing beside him, dressed in a pure white dress.
Albedo.
The chief guardian of the floors of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
As he is the highest-ranking NPC in the guild, he is one of the few NPCs whose name Ainz Ooal Gown can remember.
Of course, the main reason for paying special attention to her was because of the props she possessed.
It was a short staff about 45 centimeters long, with a black sphere at the end, floating lightly in the air without any support.
World-class item: [Hell Abyss].
When activated, it becomes a world item that causes widespread destruction of objects. It is the most destructive world item and is said to be able to sever the world.
Whether used to dismantle the opponent's equipment in PVP or to destroy the enemy's buildings in guild wars, it has a very significant effect.
It can be described as a rather insidious world-class prop.
Normally, this item should be lying obediently in the deepest part of the treasure hall right now.
