38: The King of Clouds 07

The Hounds of Tindalos were infamous. Among mythical races they stood apart, superior and independent, for they could roam through time and space at will. It was this ability which enabled these cunning creatures to establish their home base on Earth in the far distant past. In that era, only the simplest single-celled organisms existed. This ensured the continuation of their race and made it difficult for enemies to attack their dens.

Although called "hounds", Tindalos Hounds were very different from the canines known on Earth. As for why they were given that name, it was because they scoured time and space hunting down anyone who'd ever seen their shape. They chased their quarry to the ends of the universe if necessary. Countless time travelers had fallen under their claws.

Tindalos Hounds had no fixed shape, but the very few investigators who'd survived an encounter with them reported that they had savage muzzles, were covered in a strange, ink-blue liquid, and liked to hunt in packs.

What was even scarier was that because of their remarkable ability to roam time and space, they were almost impossible to kill. However, it wasn't that difficult to capture them. All that was needed was a cage created by alchemical runes constructed with certain angles.

Veteran investigators were well aware of these creatures.

In the "Black Forest Incident", which caused a sensation throughout the occult world in the previous century, a team of twelve senior investigators was completely annihilated.

When the search team arrived, they figured out the culprit from the recordings and limbs that were left behind. The Tindalos Hounds were responsible.

The most chilling thing the search team found was an audio recording filled with intermittent voices.

【"Oh God, they're devouring my colleague's body piece by piece, but I can't turn around... Because the moment I see them they'll rip my throat out too...."】

In the depths of the forest, even if investigators heard the sound of crunching bones and ripping flesh, they didn't dare look. And there was nothing more terrifying.

What made it even worse was that when most people encountered Hounds, their first instinct was to help the victims. This led to the demise of many investigators.

"Tindalos Hounds only attack time travelers. Why would they appear here in such numbers?"

Darwin was so horrified he almost crushed the insulated cup in his hand. "Immediately inform Dragon Group command. Tell all investigators to look away at once. Do not look upon their forms!!!"

The atmosphere in the conference room grew solemn.

Because everyone knew how impossible this was.

The terror of the Tindalos Hounds came from their unknown nature.

They existed in angular time and could emerge from any surface with an angle less than 120 degrees. The most famous building in Dujiakou was the financial center with three towers. And it was obvious at a glance that the building itself and the ground all around it contained angles of 90 degrees.

"I'm afraid that this time..."

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in their hearts.

The moment a person saw what a Hound looked like, he was on their hunting list. Investigators were made of flesh and blood. Even if they tightly shut their eyes, it was impossible to remain indifferent to the agonized screams of their companions.

Paracelsus sighed. "If there's truly no other way, we'll advise the Spire Council to use the ultimate weapon."

The ultimate weapon of the occult world wasn't a simple thing.
