Dimensional Hunter System

Ch 7: Level 5 Magic Apprentice

Dylan took out the small dagger and once again stabbed it into the neck of the magical beast. He repeated the same thing four to five times more. He was behaving as if he was not in his right mind.

After that, he lost consciousness and fainted.

It was also the time when a series of prompts sounded, but Dylan could not hear them.

[Congratulations to the host for killing a Level 1 Magical Beast.]

[The host has hunted down 60% magic of the magical beast.]

[Host has hunted down a Level 1 Skill, Slow!]

.....

At some unknown time, Dylan opened his eyes. He felt his head heavy, so holding his head, Dylan stood up. He tried hard to open his eyes wide and look at the surroundings.

His eyes, which were blurry a moment ago, soon started to see the surroundings clearly. The heaviness in the head he was feeling also subsided soon after.

Dylan finally took a deep breath of relief, and then shifted his gaze to the corpse of the magical beast.

The magical beast was already dead. Dylan pulled out the small dagger from the neck of the magical beast and kept it near his waist.

After that, Dylan called the system and looked at his status window.

[Host: Dylan.

(Name yet to be given by host): None.

Level: 0.

Cultivation: None.

Magic: Level 5 Magic Apprentice.

Skill: Blood Burst, Slow.

Spell: Electric Surge.]

From the looks of it, the magical beast was much weaker than the magical beast he killed previously.

Before fainting, he remembered hearing the system's voice which told him that he had hunted down 60% magic of the magical beast.

But even after obtaining 60% magic of the magical beast, he only upgraded by three levels, becoming a Level 5 Magic Apprentice from Level 2 Magic Apprentice.

Dylan looked at the newly gained skill and looked at its detail.

[Slow: Slows down the target's movement speed. It is only effective against mages below Level 3 Magic Master.]

"Umm! It is somewhat useful to me for now. That Lucas is only a Level 7 Magic Apprentice. With this skill, it'll be less troublesome for me to kill him."

Dylan didn't know for how long he had been unconscious, but the thing he knew was that he must have been unconscious for a long time.

"System, can you tell me how much time I've left to complete my mission?"

[Host, you are left with 12 hours!]

"12 hours... I've been unconscious for this long. Sigh! I have to hurry and look for Lucas!"

.....

"Lord Lucas, what shall we do now? If this continued, all of us will die!"

At someplace inside the forest, Lucas and two of his guards were hiding for more than an hour now.

As for the rest of the guards and those two girls who were accompanying him, all of them have already died under the claw of Level 3 Magical Beast.

Lucas and his two strongest guards had no choice but to sacrifice the lives of their companions so that they could retreat safely. But they didn't expect the Level 3 magical beast to chase after them soon after killing all of their companions.

They ran with all they got and finally found this small cave inside a hillock they coincidently found while running for their lives.

This cave's entrance was only big enough to shelter them from the danger of the magical beast. It has been more than one hour since they were hiding inside this cave but from time to time, they were still hearing the sound of footsteps and low roars of the magical beast.

If this continued, they will be trapped here forever.

They have to do something so that they could leave this place alive.

Lucas thought for a while and then his eyes lit up as he looked at the two guards by his side. He said, "Do one thing, you two go outside and attract the attention of that magical beast. After that, run in two different directions to confuse the magical beast. That magical beast will definitely chase after one of you two, and at that time, I will come out and escape."

"At least, two out of three of us will be able to escape this place alive. And I promise I will give the family of the dead lots of money as well as some resources to increase their magic level."

'Bastard!' x2.

Both guards cursed Lucas in their hearts. How could they not know what Lucas was thinking in his heart? After all, they had been accompanying him for many years now and had also done many bad things for Lucas. They were completely aware of the way Lucas think.

The magical beast they were talking about was a Level 3 Magical Beast.

The moment both of them will go out and attract the magical beast's attention, even if they were to run in two different directions, how long it'll take for the magical beast to kill one of them and then chase after the other one?

They knew as long as they dare to go out of this cave, their fate will be sealed and they'll definitely die.

"Umm...?"

Seemingly aware of what the two guards were thinking, Lucas frowned and then said in a voice filled with threat, "Hurry up and go outside to attract the attention of that magical beast. If you dare to go against my orders, your entire family will be killed."

The two guards' faces turned pale when they heard Lucas. At the same time, their eyes also become fierce as they looked at Lucas. They had been serving for many years and knew what kind of person Lucas was.

Now that he had mentioned their families, they knew if they really did not go to attract the attention of Level 3 Magical Beast, Lucas will tell his father and exterminate their entire families.

Both of them looked at each other and gestured something using their eyes. Then they nodded their heads and a wide smile appeared on both of their faces.

They looked at the young face of cruel Lucas. One of them said, "Why don't Lord Lucas go outside and attract the attention of that Magical Beast? If Lord Lucas goes outside, he might be able to escape alive from the clutches of the magical beast, but if you don't go, then we will kill you here and feed you to that magical beast lurking outside the cave."

"You dare?"

Lucas was frightened. He never thought he'd be threatened by his own guards.

For the very first time, he looked at his guards with fear in his eyes. He knew his guards are more powerful than him. If they want, they can kill him as if he is nothing but an ant.

"Of course, We dare. If it is for our lives, we can kill hundreds of times, let alone once." One of the two guards looked at Lucas with cold eyes and said with a cruel smile on his face.

Lucas retreated and said in a trembling voice, "If you do anything to me, my father will not leave you. He will definitely kill you and wipe out your entire family."

"That is, of course, only if he finds out that you are killed by us." Another guard laughed and continued to say, "We'll never let him know who killed you. In fact, after killing you, we'll take our family with us and leave the city. At that time, what can your father do to us?"

The other guard joined in the fun once again, saying, "So, if you don't want us to kill you, do as we say. Go out and attract the attention of that Level 3 Magical Beast. If you are lucky, you might be swallowed whole by that magical beast, and if you are unlucky, that magical beast will dismember you before eating you bit by bit. Hahahaha!"

Lucas looked at the two guards who suddenly became unfamiliar to him. He gnashed his teeth and decided to take the risk. Maybe, he can escape from the claws of the Magical Beast outside. At that time, he'll definitely destroy the entire family of these two guards.

But if he were to stay here, these two guards will definitely kill him.

Thinking like this, Lucas nodded and said, "Alright, I'm going to attract the attention of the magical beast."

Saying this, without waiting for the guards' mocking voice, Lucas left the cave.

.....

It was now nighttime. Somewhere far away in the forest, the constellations were in chaos, and the stars and moon were dark and gloomy.

Dozens of people were gathered in the sky above the forest. Each and every one of them stood proudly in the air. Judging from the aura they emitted, they were definitely experts of their generation.

"I was a step too late. The treasure has already disappeared." The person who spoke was an old man with a head of white hair.

"Sigh!" Landre, your magic academy is the closest to here, did you take away the treasure?" A skinny man in black with sunken eye sockets said.
