The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 912: Valefor's Outrage



Between the two versions of Vaan, the Eighth Progenitor naturally preferred the former and wished "Vaan" would return to the way he acted when they first met.

After all, the latter version of "Vaan" was just too scary.

The Eighth Progenitor had no idea how he hid his cultivation so well, especially for his slaughter aura. The karmic sin associated with reaping so many lives wasn't something that could be hidden.

It was like stepping on shit; even if one tried to rub it off, the smell would still linger.

As such, being coated in such a heavy slaughter aura, "Vaan" shouldn't be able to hide it all.

But then again, it hadn't been long since the Eighth Progenitor had awakened from an incredibly long slumber. The world may have changed a lot, and new sophisticated methods may have been developed to hide one's cultivation and aura.

Who was he to judge a Peak Divine Knight?

All the Eighth Progenitor knew was that "Vaan" was an unpredictable and eccentric being. He already wielded so much strength, yet he pretended to be a mere Demigod-rank human.

If all experts pretended to be the pig to eat the tiger like him, the Eighth Progenitor would be too scared to travel. Even if he had to travel, he would definitely maintain a humble attitude, no matter how unassuming whoever he interacted with seemed.

It would be too late to cry if another mortal turned out to be a mighty Divine Knight. The Eighth Progenitor immediately departed for the mining sites with a ruthless glint in his eyes. Although he understood the temptation of high-quality blood, he couldn't spare the blood thieves who targeted miners.

After all, if they didn't die, much more of their kind will.

Nevertheless, he wasn't sure how great of a background the blood thieves had.

He had already removed all the vampire supervisors from the mines and placed the areas under protection. Yet, under such conditions, vampires still managed to sneak in and steal blood from the miners.

No, vampires weren't necessarily needed to extract and collect blood.

Any mortal under mind control could have targeted the miners' blood in the vampires' place. Such an indirect method would hide the vampire mastermind's traces.

Nevertheless, something like that happening would also imply higher-ranking vampires were involved in the blood theft.

However, the real question was how high up the ranking was the vampire mastermind involved. Furthermore, there could even be more than one high-ranking vampire involved.

The Eighth Progenitor only hoped a Vampire Lord wasn't involved in the problem. He didn't actually care about other Vampire Lords; he just didn't want them to implicate him.

After all, if the Heavenly Devil found out a Vampire Lord was involved in delaying his great plans, he might just decide to get rid of all the Vampire Lords.

He definitely didn't want that to happen.

'You old bastards, please don't be involved in this business,' the Eighth Progenitor silently prayed as he made his way over to the mines.

...

Meanwhile, shortly after the Eighth Progenitor left the floating castle above Vladigold City, the Fifth Progenitor, Demetrius Diablo, arrived to make his report.

While the Eighth Progenitor was in charge of all active mines, the Fifth Progenitor had been put in charge of locating new rare mineral deposits to mine.

"My Lord, I have discovered..."

Just as the Fifth Progenitor made his report, he noticed the rapidly changing weather in the region. Valefor also paid attention to the sky as the clouds and winds gathered unnaturally.

"Uh... What is happening?"

"What's going on with the weather suddenly?"

In Vladigold City, on the surface, many humans and vampires also began to notice the cool night turning chilly from the cold breezes.

Rumble...!

It didn't take long before the roars of thunder resounded from the depths of the huge formation of dark clouds.

The unprecedented weather change and phenomenon was something the people of Evernight Territory had never experienced or heard of before. It left them both in wonder and fear.

Everyone could sense a terrible concentration of destructive power in the center of the spiraling clouds.

"Is that the weather normal, Demetrius?" Valefor inquired.

"There's nothing normal about that abnormality, my Lord! I think we should get out of here immediately!" the Fifth Progenitor cried as he sensed the destructive power in the sky could annihilate him.

Nothing good would come from standing directly under such destructive thunderclouds.

Boom!

Not even a second after the Fifth Progenitor made the suggestion, a black bolt of lightning descended in a flash.

Under the impact, the fortified floating castle easily shattered apart like soft tofu. Broken reinforced stones and shards of rare metal scattered in all directions, while the whole area that was directly struck by the black lightning was reduced to powdered dust.

At the same time, the Fifth Progenitor's sorry figure shot out of the dust storm with half his life.

On the other hand, Valefor's indestructible body shot straight through the floating castle and smashed into the city grounds, forming a small crater and a rising cloud of dust and soil.

Not long after, Valefor crawled out from the small crater before glaring at the thunderous clouds fiercely.

"Fucker, so I was your target after all!" Valefor cursed.

Rumble...!

Boom!

The heavenly thunderclouds charged themselves and released another bolt of black lightning with ungodly speed as if in retaliation for Valefor's cursing.

Valefor simply had no time to react before he was struck into the ground again before the discharged power reduced his surroundings into a wasteland devoid of life.

A few dozen people had died before they were given the chance to flee.

However, those who witnessed the horrific destruction from further away immediately fled in

panic and horror.

"Ahh! Run!"

"Get out of here!"

As the cries of fear and confusion resounded throughout the city, the heavenly thunderclouds continued to drop more bolts of black lightning, regardless of Valefor's seemingly uncertain

status.

It seemed to be certain that he was still alive.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The bolts of black lightning struck in waves, one after the other, relentlessly and

unforgivingly.

Although Valefor remained unscathed, he was continuously pushed deeper and deeper into

the earth under the heavy suppression of the heavens. The oppressive situation outraged him

to no end.

"Goddamit!! What did I do?! What the fuck did I do?!?! Who the hell is targeting with me?!" Valefor cursed furiously, feeling both helpless and confused.
