Dimensional Hunter System

Ch 5: The First Hunt

After that person stopped laughing, he shook his head and spoke, "City Lord only has one son and he loves this son too much. Also, Lucas is already a Level 7 Magic Apprentice and is said to have the talent to become a Magic Lord in his lifetime. This again gave City Lord a reason to love his son even more. Because of his love, no matter what wrong his son has done or would do, City Lord would never punish him. Instead, he'll threaten the complainer or victim using his status and power."

"Magic Lord?"

Dylan nodded his head in understanding but there was one thing he wanted to ask. He said, "City Lord's son only has the talent to become Magic Lord in the future, isn't this talent too low? There are still many stages of magic above Magic Lord!"

When the person heard this, he laughed heartedly and said, "Hahaha, you are one funny kid. You might not know, but this city is only a small city. In this city, you can not find a single Magic Lord Mage. Even the City Lord is only a Ninth Level Magic Master."

"Now, do you understand what it meant for Lucas to have the talent to become Magic Lord in his lifetime?"

Dylan finally understood. He nodded and thanked the person for answering his questions. He again wanted to say something when he heard the sound of a carriage coming.

Everyone started looking at the carriage. The carriage was being pulled by a strange beast that looked somehow like a horse but it had a bigger and stronger body. It also had two horns on its head and at its forehead, there was actually a third eye.

A few guards were in walking in front of the carriage and also at the carriage's back.

The front of the carriage was open, causing everyone to be able to see the inside. Inside this carriage, Dylan saw a fat man hugging two mature ladies in his arms. The three of them were chatting and laughing, and their eyes were filled with lust.

The carriage moved forward and when it was about to disappear from Dylan's line of sight, Dylan finally moved and started chasing after the carriage from some distance away.

He kept his distance from the carriage out of caution. It is because in his original world, the world of cultivation, cultivators have something called a spiritual sense. Through the spiritual sense, a cultivator could observe a certain area in his surroundings.

Who knows, if mages in this world also have something like a spiritual sense or not?

.....

After one hour, Dylan saw a forest appearing in the front. The carriage continued to move forward and entered the forest without stopping.

Dylan did not stop. Without hesitation, he also entered the forest. He knew he could not afford to stop, otherwise, he might lose these people. If that really happened, how will he find an opportunity to kill Lucas?

Also, he had to think of a plot and make some plans to kill Lucas. After all, Lucas was already a Level 7 Magic Apprentice while Dylan had zero strength. Because of his predecessor's weak body, he was weaker than an ordinary person of the same age.

But when Dylan entered the forest, he found out that he had already lost sight of the carriage. The forest was dense and filled with vitality. The lush green trees were present everywhere. There were simply too many trees.

Dylan looked for the carriage in front, right, and left. Not being able to see the carriage, Dylan decided to move in front.

After walking for a short distance, he finally saw the carriage, but right now, there was no one near or inside the carriage. Everyone had already left the carriage and was moving on their feet.

Being able to find the carriage, Dylan knew he was walking in the right direction.

He stopped near the carriage and searched the carriage to find anything that could help him kill Lucas.

Well, he was lucky enough to find a short dagger in the carriage. This dagger might have fallen down from someone in hurry.

Taking the small dagger, Dylan started walking ahead. He was cautiously walking, not wanting to let his guard down.

This was an unknown world and he was not aware of the dangers in the forest. He had to stay alert all the time no matter what.

"Grrr!"

After walking for about a hundred meters, Dylan suddenly heard a strange voice. This voice did not seem to be coming from a human. Instead, it looked to be coming from an animal, to be exact, from a beast, a magical beast.

In this world of magic, Mayner, in the names of animals, only cats, dogs, mice, and such small animals existed. Most of the dangers come from magical beasts in this world.

And according to the level of mages, magical beasts were also divided into level 1 magical beasts to level 7 magical beasts.

Dylan was terrified when he heard the strange noise that seemed to be coming from a magical beast. He started trembling as this was the first time in his life that he had heard a magical beast's voice.

Even in the world of cultivation, Dylan had never gone out of his house as he did not want to leave his mother behind. He also had no talent in cultivation, making it impossible for him to go and hunt demonic beasts.

"Grrr!"

Dylan once again heard the same voice, but this time, he caught a slightly different meaning in this voice. The magical beast seemed to be in great pain.

At first, Dylan was scared but after noticing pain in the magical beast's voice, he calmed his heart down and decided to take a look at the demonic beast.

He walked in the direction from where the voice seemed to be coming and very soon, he was standing a few meters away from a magical beast that was lying in a pool of blood.

This magical beast was actually a wolf-type magical beast. There were many wounds on its body and it seemed to be on the verge of death.

Dylan guessed that this magical beast must have been fighting against Lucas and his guards. It could not win and was heavily injured. Lucas must have thought that this magical beast had already died, so he left it here and continued to move forward.

Hearing someone's footsteps, the magical beast tilted its head with great difficulty and looked at Dylan. Seeing that it was yet another human, its eyes turned red as it let out a threatening sound from its throat as if saying Dylan to stay away and not to come near.

Dylan's heart trembled for a moment, and then, he decided to first kill this demonic beast.

He decided to do this because of a few reasons.

First, he had to kill Lucas who was a Level 7 Magic Apprentice. Dylan was just a normal human. If he wanted to kill a Level 7 Magic Apprentice like Lucas, he needed to have experience in the killing. So that, at the correct moment, he could not hesitate and have to attack immediately.

Second, he had never killed anyone. He has to make his heart stronger by killing a few magical beasts. He did not know what kind of feeling he will feel after killing for the first time.

So, instead of killing a human first, killing a magical beast will be much better.

There were still a few other such reasons...

Well, since Dylan had never killed anyone, killing a magical beast who was already on the verge of death will be much better.

It was already going to die, so what if it died at his hands?

Thinking of this, Dylan took a few deep breaths, steeled his heart, and walked near the magical beast.

"Grrrr!"

The magical beast's eyes were already closing. It was not left with much time and will definitely die in the next few seconds.

Seeing Dylan walking near, it could only let out a low helpless growl before closing its eyes.

Dylan knew that it was going to take its last breath. So, without wasting any time in hesitation, he immediately took out the dagger and stabbed it into the magical beast's neck, causing blood to flow out continuously.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a Rank One Magical Beast, Blood Wolf.]

[First Hunt Successful!]

[You have hunted down 20% of the Blood Wolf's magic!]

[You have hunted down Blood Wolf's innate skill, Blood Burst!]

[First Hunt Reward: Rank 2 spell, Electric Surge.]

Dylan again heard a few series of mechanical voices in his mind. At the same time, he felt his body warming up and felt a strange but comfortable energy rushing into his body, moving everywhere inside his body before forming a small white ball of light and gathering inside it.

This small white ball of light was actually a magic core where mages stored their mana. As long as mages continued to become stronger, the magic core in their body will also continue to expand further.
