Tanky Mage System

66 chapter 66 herdsman

“hunting level? A mysterious layer in the shadow world?”

after listening to george’s explanation, gune immediately calmed down and listened carefully.

” actually, after i awakened the extraordinary profession ‘time hunter’, i could feel and see the existence of the hunting layer. ”

” just like now, i can see the dim yellow and shabby projected luster on the hunting level. the mottled light is shining on my body, and everything around me is full of danger. ”

” when i grew up, i understood that what i saw was a deep inner world. ”

it’s a very strange and dangerous inner world. I call it the ‘hunting level’.

“In the hunting level.”

“there’s a very strange creature that looks like a human. it has two long and thin claws and a pair of flesh wings. its flying speed is very shocking.”

there’s a pair of strange arms under the wings. This pair of arms can carry out an extremely long pull, and their destructive power is amazing.

they are tall, slender, and black all over. They have three eyes on their foreheads, and they have extremely strong three-dimensional vision and perception.

“it’s almost impossible to get close without a sound.”

this creature was five meters tall when it was at transcendent level one.

” and as their strength increases, their body size will also increase. ”

“It’s basically two meters per step.”

their strength will increase explosively with each level.

“of course, i haven’t said the most important thing.”

that is, Jian Jia and the others have a terrifying tongue.

using this tongue, they can penetrate their power into reality in the hunting layer and lick the time of humans.

“licking time?” gu nie’s expression changed.

” time is an abstract concept. can this thing be licked? ”

or could it be that in this transcendent world, time also has a special transcendent attribute? ”

gu nie asked after a moment of silence.

“are you sure you’re in the middle of licking time?”

“i’m sure,” George nodded slightly.

“Because I can see the time!”

“Look at the time.” gu nie was startled.

“Alright! The hunters at this time are really unusual.” gu nie spread his hands.

“what does it look like after being licked?” gune asked.

” being licked will lose time, and once time is lost, it will be corrected. in the process of correction, those who lose time will be washed away by a mysterious power. ”

the physical body, soul, and bodily functions are aging, as well as the loss of extraordinary characteristics. all of this is done without anyone noticing, so basically no one will notice.”

“this is indeed a very strange creature.” Gu nie muttered and nodded.

george continued.

“these guys that can lick life and cause humans to lose their lives, i call them ‘thanatos’.”

“They are indeed people who can lead the death god forward. It’s quite fitting to call them the death divine beasts.” gu nie thought.

“the thanator is very powerful, but also very cunning and intelligent. they specialize in licking those long-lived humans, and especially like to lick them when they are sleeping.”

” on the hunting level, when it’s being licked, one bite can feed a human for two to three days. ”

here comes the scariest part. Every time those creatures lick, they won’t just stop at one person. They will lick everyone nearby, and each of them will be put down after a dozen or so bites.

” this thing knows how to split up when it’s picking up wool. its level of intelligence can crush many people! ” gu nie was shocked.

” before this, you asked me why i didn’t report this to the higher-ups of the transcendent association? ”

George slowly explained.

“Because when I was young, I told my teacher, and my teacher told me to keep it a secret no matter what.”

in fact, the decision that my teacher made for me was the right one.

because creatures like the mayflies are being herded by some mysterious existence!

” a mysterious existence that uses human life time to graze the water grass and reeds. ” gu nie’s eyes narrowed and his fists clenched.

they simply don’t treat us humans as humans, they’re treating us as walking flesh and grass.

“And there’s more than one herdsman.” George said softly.

and within the Yulan transcendent Association, there are traces of them.

and this is also the reason why I didn’t dare to tell anyone.

“Once I report it, I’m afraid I’m not far from death.”

” i don’t know if you’ve noticed, but with the rise of extraordinary steam machinery, those evil spirits and other races have also become turbulent. ”

the scattered alien races in the depths of the Otto mountain range in the North have also joined forces to fight against us humans.

you should know that someone is secretly adding fuel to the fire, and these herdsmen are one of the driving forces.

those guys who herd Thanatos and feed on human lives don’t care about human lives at all. In their eyes, humans are just walking flesh and grass.

After George’s explanation, both of them fell into a brief silence.

mysterious existences that ignored life, strange monsters that could graze and lick time, and the tide of the era that added fuel to the fire.

george’s words echoed in gune’s mind, and he couldn’t help but sigh. this world is more complicated and mysterious than I thought.

After a moment of thought, gune looked at George.

“aren’t you afraid that i’ll leak this information?”

“of course i’m afraid,”

” but i need the help of strong teammates more. ”

“teammates? Help?” gu nie muttered the word.

“You’ve been in contact with them?”

“Yes, I was already very powerful when I was a second order transcendent. i think i should be able to kill a first rank thanator.”

I used the power of time to enter the hunting level and hunted a rank one thanator.

in the end, I almost died, and that guy escaped.

“he escaped.” gu nie thought.

“The strength of that thanator is beyond my imagination. I can’t deal with it alone. Moreover, sometimes, these thanator don’t act alone. It’s possible that they act in groups of three to five,”

“After all, I’m weak by myself. this is also the reason why i want to find a powerful partner to hunt down these thanator beasts together.”

I can use my ability to bring Extraordinaries one rank lower than me into the hunting level.

among all The Extraordinaries I’ve met, I’ve never felt such a strong sense of danger when he was only a level-one extraordinary.

“That’s why you came to find me?” Gu nie said.

“yes, i really need a teammate like you, so i’m willing to take the risk.”

After some thought, Gu nie slowly spoke.

” i’m a law incantation master, and i’m currently studying the framework of the world, the shadow world, and even analyzing runes. ”

“The hunting layer you mentioned is a mysterious layer of the shadow world.”

entering it should be of great help to my learning.

so, you’re very lucky. I’m willing to cooperate with you. gu nie said.

“hu ~~ hu ~ hu ~”

george heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that gune had agreed.

“although you said that you’re invincible among the first-rank thanatos, you might not be able to kill them.”

“my cheat doesn’t like what you’re saying.” gu nie thought.

“Maybe!” gu nie didn’t argue.

“in our sug ruins city, there are 2 thanatos being herded. one is a rank 2, while the other is a rank 3. they have been feeding on them for many years.”

” the short lifespans of those laborers who work hard to earn money are largely caused by the thanator. ”

“if they continue to grow, it’s hard to predict what will happen in the future.”

“my target is that 2nd rank thanator.”

“i’m currently at the 3rd rank, so i can bring 2nd rank extraordinaries in.”

“Thus, when you advance to the second step and reach the peak of the second step, you will be able to break through to the second step. only then will we have the chance to join hands and exterminate that 2nd rank thanator.”

“this will take some time. there’s no rush now.”

moreover, after this hunt, we still have to hide our traces. We can’t let the herdsman find us.

after all, an existence that can graze such a creature is definitely not a small matter.

“yes.” gu nie slightly nodded.

After discussing some more details, the two of them stopped.

Gu nie looked at the night sky outside the window.

” time hunter, hunting level, prey. ”

gu nier mulled over the relationship between the two.

“George probably hasn’t told me yet, but I can guess what he’s thinking.”

“this hunting pi xiu should be of some help to him, but that’s not the main point.”

the point is, this guy should have felt his own uniqueness. He doesn’t want our world to be played by those terrifying existences. Otherwise, he would have just ignored us.

“To go through so much trouble and even take the risk to come in contact with me, it’s obvious that he’s a fellow with a sense of justice. At the same time, I can feel that this fellow’s words are true.”

of course, while we have a high chance of trusting the other party, we also need to be more careful.

“to me, i need to use this opportunity to deepen my understanding and perception of this world. this is very important to my rune path.”

secondly, it’s indeed my duty to annihilate the grazing of those mysterious beings. No matter what, I’m still a member of the flesh pasture in their eyes.

“If the current me remains silent, sooner or later, that Thanatos will lick my head. At that time, no one will speak up for me.”

“Hu ~~ Hu ~ Hu ~”

gu nie exhaled and looked at the dark night outside.

In the depths of the mysterious and strange extraordinary world, just like the city under the night sky, the outline of the city could be vaguely seen, but the horror and mystery in the darkness could not be seen.
