I, The Dragon Overlord

"The Hound of Tindalos?"

Smith, upon hearing Park Jung-chul's words, was momentarily stunned. He quickly turned to the experts on the side.

The Cthulhu Mythos researcher immediately explained, "The Hound of Tindalos is a dimensional creature that can freely traverse time and space. It's said that these monsters are immortal. Once they detect another being in a different space or time, they will relentlessly pursue, crossing one time and space boundary after another until they completely kill their prey!"

"It is a creature that ensures its prey never escapes once it begins its pursuit. Nothing gets in the way of its hunt!"

"Traverse time and space?"

Upon hearing these words, Smith took a sharp intake of breath. It sounded too exaggerated. Jumping straight to a creature that could traverse time and space? How on earth could one fight something like that?

Seeing Smith's shock, the expert tried to reassure him, "Traveling through time is just one characteristic of the Hound of Tindalos. In reality, these dimensional creatures aren't as overwhelmingly powerful as you might think. They certainly can't compare to those true gods and evil gods."

The expert's attempt at reassurance was meaningless to Smith. If this creature wasn't as powerful as a god, then all was good. The Korean man, Park Jung-chul, would have died long ago if it were.

"But it’s interesting that the methods to summon such a creature are recorded in that book. If we can master those methods, capture one of these hounds, and study how it traverses time and space..."

At this point, Smith's excitement rose momentarily. However, he quickly calmed himself down, stopping his thoughts from running wild.

‘Haven't we done enough risky things in the United States? Let's focus on the current situation!’

"Park Jung-chul, tell me, where is that hound? Why can't we see it?"

"It's right here, right here! If you want to see it... fine, fine, I'll let you see it!"

Park Jung-chul, bound to the restraint chair, writhed and shouted wildly. Upon hearing Smith's words, he hesitated for a moment, then let out a frantic sound.

"Wait, Director Smith!"

The Cthulhu Mythos scholar was horrified and tried to stop Smith, but he was a step too slow.

Suddenly, Park Jung-chul began reciting an incantation, the very spell to summon the Hound of Tindalos.

Subsequently, under everyone's gaze, a strange, viscous creature, resembling a fluid, appeared in the sealed interrogation room.

The creature radiated a faint blue light, and it seemed like mist and electrolytes were hovering around its body. Unlike its name, the "hound" had no resemblance to any dog; its body consisted of skeletal structures, and its mouth resembled that of a crocodile, covered in a layer of skin like a bat.

This Hound of Tindalos was shrouded in mist, with only sharp teeth and claws emitting a chilling light.

At this moment, Smith believed that this creature had indeed crossed dimensions because the interrogation room was a sealed space. Not even an ant could crawl in, so the sudden appearance of this creature could only be attributed to some form of spatial transference ability.

"This thing doesn't look like a hound at all."

Smith muttered, then looked at the scholar next to him, expecting an explanation.

However, to Smith's surprise, the Cthulhu Mythos scholar had turned away from him, crouching on the ground with his hands covering his head and eyes shut. Hearing Smith's words, he hastily shouted, "Don't describe it, don't tell me what the Hound of Tindalos looks like!"

"Uh... What's wrong with you?"

Smith asked in amazement.

"The Hound of Tindalos will hunt down anyone who sees it. So, I absolutely won't look at it. Park Jung-chul must have known this, that's why he summoned the Hound of Tindalos. He... he wants us to be buried together!"

The scholar shouted while covering his head.

"Why didn't you say that earlier!"

Smith was shocked. The idea of being chased by such a mysterious dimensional creature was terrifying.

"You didn't ask, Director! Who told you to ask him to summon the hounds?!"

The scholar replied with grievance.

For a moment, the other experts and scholars in the office glared at Smith, each one showing a mix of anger and fear as they had also seen the appearance of the hound.

Smith's face turned from red to white in rapid succession. He knew he lacked experience, and these bizarre creatures could bring about his destruction if he made even a slight oversight.

However, he also understood that now was not the time for excessive thinking. In the interrogation room, Park Jung-chul started chanting another incantation. The hound, enveloped in mist and emitting blue light, began to transform its body, appearing elusive as if it were hiding in the seams of time and space, occasionally launching sneak attacks on Park Jung-chul.

Under Park Jung-chul's incantation, the hound couldn't seem to touch him. However, judging from the cold sweat on Park Jung-chul's forehead, it was clear he couldn't hold on much longer.

Seeing this scene, Smith suddenly realized, "The book must contain information on how to evade the pursuit of this hound."

With this thought, Smith temporarily breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that there was a way to escape the pursuit of this creature for the time being, he managed to suppress his fear.

Apart from the S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel, the apprentice wizards also witnessed the appearance of the hound. Some wizards were eager to enter the interrogation room and defeat the hound, but at a crucial moment, Su Wei stopped them. The girl from China spoke calmly, "Don't go in. We are not opponents of the Hound of Tindalos, and going in will only result in unnecessary loss of lives."

Su Wei held considerable authority among the group of wizards. The ones who were itching for action calmed down, realizing that, with their limited magical abilities as apprentice wizards, facing a creature that could traverse time and space was tantamount to suicide. They realized that their arrogance had led them to overlook the danger of these mysterious creatures.

The wizards who regained their senses expressed their gratitude to Su Wei. However, at this moment, Su Wei just pursed her lips, looking at the hound in the interrogation room with a hidden worry.

She had heard her teacher mention these creatures before. Though not in great detail, she knew they were dimensional beings that would relentlessly pursue anyone who saw them.

On the screen, Park Jung-chul, reciting an incantation, grew weaker and weaker. The hound started to approach him, and it seemed almost certain that he would die.

Seeing this, Smith urgently shouted, "Park Jung-chul, if you tell me where the original copy of that book is, we will come to save you!"

Of course, this rescue was a ruse. Faced with such an unknown dimensional creature, Smith couldn't risk sending people to their deaths just to test the waters.

However, Park Jung-chul believed him. His expression brightened, and he shouted loudly, "I sent the original copy to the leader! The leader of the Christian New Century Church!"

"Christian New Century Church?"

"Yes, that's right! Please, I've told you everything, hurry and save me!"

Smith didn't say anything more. He coldly watched as the jaws and claws of the Hound of Tindalos pierced through an unknown angle of space, piercing Park Jung-chul's body.

"Inform the White House. We need to have a serious talk with the South Korean government!"
