Chapter 164: Chapter 164

"Others, oh, they perished, killed, there were too many, and in the end, there were only three of us left."

Ma Can walked out from the window and led Du You to sit at a nearby table. "Our place is not some big city, just a remote small town, not many people come here. If it were a big city, you’d see more people like us. Unfortunately, this world is too dangerous, and we have difficulty keeping in touch."

Du You squinted his eyes; this massive city was just a remote town, then how large would a proper big city be?

"The other two, you can’t see them right now, they’ve gone out to patrol. In actuality, they’re just going out to exterminate some Giant Beasts; otherwise, if too many of them gather, we’ll be in danger."

Du You spoke incredulously, "Dangerous? That’s impossible, the people in this city are all very powerful, I’ve seen many who are Tier 2."

Ma Can snorted with a scoff, "What are those you have seen? They are just ordinary people. Looking at your age, you must have just become an Awakener not long ago. It’s true, people like you who are new to awakening enjoy adventure the most."

"So, if they are not strong, how strong are the Heavenly Disaster beasts?"

Ma Can pointed outside, "Hahahaha, don’t tell me you think those are Heavenly Disaster Beasts. This world indeed belongs to Heavenly Disaster Beasts, but there is only one in this city." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

"What do you think a Heavenly Disaster Beast is? To be honest, to become a Heavenly Disaster Beast, you must first reach Tier 4 or above. Without reaching Tier 4, you’re not even qualified to daydream about becoming a Heavenly Disaster Beast."

Ma Can pointed towards the window and in the distance. "See that spot over there? That’s a chain of mountains."

Du You looked in the direction, indeed, he faintly saw a range of mountains. The mountains were not small, as he could see them from behind the wall, meaning they were really vast. The sky above the mountains was full of dark clouds.

"I’m sure you’ve seen the cloud layer. That is the Heavenly Disaster Cloud. The reason why Heavenly Disaster Beasts are named as such is that they carry Heavenly Disasters, they are the origins of these disasters. No matter where they go, even if they stay still, they will still bring Disaster Clouds along with them, and that’s the source of catastrophe."

"The Heavenly Disasters suspended in the sky are the trademarks of Heavenly Disaster Beasts, and each possesses different abilities. For those of us who lack sufficient power, even getting near it could mean an immediate death."

"What, Tier 4? So why hasn’t anyone gotten rid of it yet?"

"We also want to, but we can’t; there are no Tier 4 beings in this town or the neighboring towns, and even if there are, few of the same tier could stand up to a Heavenly Disaster Beast. The Heavenly Disaster Beast here brings about an earthquake which shakes us every few days. Terrifying, isn’t it?" Ma Can said apathetically.

"Well, enough of that, let’s discuss the structure of this world instead."

Ma Can didn’t want to continue talking about such matters, hence he shifted the topic. "Beasts under Tier 4 are the most ordinary beings in this world. While they possess some strength, they aren’t the emblem of this world."

"Upon reaching Tier 4, the beasts usually take one of two directions; one is to become a Heavenly Disaster Beast, typically the path most beasts choose, the other is to become a Guardian Beast, often the result of human fostering."

"Guardian Beasts are said to have many complex conditions for their formation, but Guardian Beasts do not have Heavenly Disaster Clouds and do not form Heavenly Disasters. Their strength counters that of Heavenly Disaster Beasts. Every Guardian Beast is the foundation of a large city. Sadly, we have none here. Maybe one day, we’ll perish."

Du You was shocked deep down. He had always thought that this world belongs to the Heavenly Disaster Beasts, therefore every beast he met was a Heavenly Disaster Beast. Still, he had no entitlement to even get near a Heavenly Disaster Beast.

Even dealing with ordinary Giant Beasts was no easy task, no wonder there were numerous people stranded here.

"Surely you’ll join us in the future, so do give up. The main quest of this world is impossible to accomplish!"

"Well, I still want to give it a try. Can you give me a map showing the distribution of Giant Beasts nearby?"

Ma Can wasn’t surprised at all, "Ha ha, every time someone comes here, they are always brimming with confidence, always thinking they are special, and never at peace unless they go out and try."

"Alright, then you go. As for monster distribution, we don’t have it. The Giant Beasts outside, they are as common as animals, found everywhere, so we can only provide a topographic map. Still, as for weapons, you can rent some."

Ma Can stood up and opened a door next to him. It was a storage room full of weapons, each quite large. At first glance, these were undoubtedly meant for dealing with Giant Beasts. The large forceps he carried with him was not available here, presumably because they were useless.

The large forceps he bought were meant for dealing with large beasts. However, against Giant Beasts beyond human imagination, they were clearly inadequate. It seemed he had bought the wrong gear.

Of course, the weapons here were all non-equipment types. Genuine equipment, if kept here for too long, would be assimilated. After all, the Professionals here were already assimilated.

"These weapons are too large; they don’t suit me. I think I will learn the hard way."

"You are really clueless, by your appearance you should be of the Magic-class, right? Do you know how high magical resistance beasts have? Ordinary spells are simply ineffective against them."

Du You nodded slightly; he knew this already. A rabbit had taken him several castings of the Disintegration Spell to kill. Other stronger beasts would undoubtedly be tougher in terms of magical resistance.

However, he was a 10-star being. Even though Giant Beasts were highly magically resistant, that doesn’t mean they are immune. At least compared to these large weapons, his attack range would be much wider and better.

Although the Giant Beasts were huge and powerful, Du You had observed some of their characteristics. For example, they didn’t pay much attention to smaller creatures or humans.

Moreover, due to their size, they were less agile. Given the speed of his spells, these Giant Beasts were like sitting ducks. As long as he could overcome their magical resistances, he would grind them down eventually.

"Sigh, indeed, some people never learn until they see their coffins. Forget it then, off you go. It seems you won’t be joining us." Du You understood what he meant; he was implying that Du You would die outside.
