The Witch Hunter System

"You better tell this Lord everything that has happened until now without leaving out a single detail, Klaus! If you dare hide anything, this Lord will dismantle your body, refine your divine blood, and torture your divine soul for a hundred years!" Abaddon spat gloomily.

"U-Understood, Blood Ancestor!" the Second Progenitor complied, frightened out of his wits.

He had no idea what angered Abaddon, but he didn't dare play any tricks in front of him. Abaddon's oppressive pressure was just too suffocatingly heavy and frightening.

"After you left me in charge of conquering the Great Ratholos Empire, I discovered the other side had a strong human with Soul Master potential. In order to confirm it, I woke up the remaining Vampire Lords to use them against the said strong human…"

"However, I gave the other Vampire Lords a full day to return to their homes and recover their strengths first. S-Since then, only the Fifth Progenitor and Eighth Progenitor have gone to fight on the other side… I have yet to hear further from them, Blood Ancestor."

"A-Also, the Sixth Progenitor, Eleventh Progenitor, and Thirteenth Progenitor have secretly disappeared. I have also yet to learn of their whereabouts… The Drusilla, Tepes, and Vlad families have also ceased to exist…"

"But by the looks of it, the Sixth Progenitor, Eleventh Progenitor, and Thirteen Progenitor must have fled together…"

After the Second Progenitor spoke up until that point, he became extremely nervous. He feared Abaddon would have the wrong idea about him.

Abaddon's expression darkened, but he didn't find the Thirteenth Progenitor's action surprising.

In the past, the two of them were considered rivals. The Thirteenth Progenitor's pride most likely wouldn't allow her to serve under him. As such, her looking for opportunities elsewhere to make her comeback seemed like the most logical choice.

However, Abaddon no longer put the Thirteen Progenitor in his eyes.

The person was 700,000 years behind. It was impossible for her to catch up to him in a short time, so she was not presently a threat.

Nevertheless, the Second Progenitor still had to be punished for letting three Vampire Lords run away.

Pak!

Abaddon suddenly slapped the Second Progenitor into the ground with his right hand and stepped on his head humiliatingly.

"You woke up all the Vampire Lords, and yet you failed to make use of three. Not only did you let three Vampire Lords escape, but I've even lost three loyal families. How do you intend to make up for this mistake, Klaus?" Abaddon asked.

"Please spare me, Blood Ancestor! I swear I will do better!" the Second Progenitor desperately pleaded while trying to look up at Abaddon's face.

However, all he could see from the corner of his eye was Abaddon's left side, which was missing one complete arm.

Although Abaddon regenerated a new left arm in the last twelve hours of recovery, it was not fully grown. It was only the size of an infant's and was hardly useful in its current state.

Its growth rate was extremely slow due to Hecate's lingering law powers around it.

Nevertheless, it gave the powerful and menacing Abaddon a rather comical look. Even so, no one dared laugh or comment on it, let alone the Second Progenitor, who was currently suppressed under the person's feet.

"Tell me more about the potential Soul Master. How strong is he?" Abaddon demanded with a deep frown, knowing he had to destroy this person at all costs.

It was impossible for him to make peace with Pangea after everything he had done. Furthermore, his ambition wouldn't allow it.

"Y-Yes, Blood Ancestor…" the Second Progenitor quickly complied.

"According to Melchior, the potential Soul Master is only a Peak Demigod. However, his power of law is much stronger than his rank suggests. Furthermore, it's also quite possible that he comprehended the Death Law like Supreme Thanatos…"

"Your Night Parade was completely suppressed and intimidated by that person's power…" the Second Progenitor added.

"The Death Law…" Abaddon uttered with a heavy expression.

Of the seven Great Devils, Thanatos was the only being he didn't dare to offend, precisely because of the Death Law. The Supreme Great Devil's Death Law was simply that scary.

There was resistance in the face of absolute death power.

Nevertheless, if it was the Death Law, Abaddon understood why his traces of divine will would disappear so completely without hopes of recovery.

'This world doesn't need a second Thanatos! I can't let this potential Soul Master grow! Otherwise, my days will be numbered!' Abaddon thought as his killing intent surged.

Rumble…!

Suddenly, the world greatly trembled as if it had just suffered an impactful blow from something unpredictably huge and heavy. The entire Vladigold City was alarmed and surprised by the earthquake.

Abaddon frowned, and the Second Progenitor looked doubtful.

"What just happened?"

"I'm not sure…"

"Then go and find out!"

Abaddon no longer suppressed the Second Progenitor under his foot. He granted him freedom of movement with a strong kick, sending him dozens of meters away.

"U-Understood, Blood Ancestor!" the Second Progenitor quickly scurried off to investigate after getting up.

Great Ratholos Empire, Imperial Capital

Several minutes ago…

Shortly after Vaan wiped the Blood Ancestor's trace of divine will from the Fifth Progenitor and Eighth Progenitor's bodies, he immediately returned to the Black Mountain.

"Ah! What are you doing? You can't do that!" a herbalist assistant cried as he watched Vaan pocket all the spirit plants and herbs around the Black Mountain.

Everything was safely stored inside Vaan's Heaven-Swallowing Space.

Nevertheless, his outrageous action alarmed even the Pill King to come out of his seclusion. Countless curses and protests followed, but they all fell on deaf ears.

The Pill King and his assistants could only watch Vaan clean out their herbal gardens.

However, they had yet to witness Vaan's most outrageous act.

Rumble…!

The whole world seemingly shook as the entire Black Mountain started sinking into the ground and disappearing.

"Oh my god! Look! The Black Mountain is sinking!"

"No! This can't be happening! Why is this happening?!"

Ever since the discovery of the Black Mountain, it had never moved an inch from its location.

As such, the moment it completely disappeared from sight, it sent capital-wide panic and shock. The Great Ratholos Empire's people never expected such a thing to happen to their national treasure.

However, it didn't take long before the Black Mountain reappeared elsewhere…

"Oh my god…"

"Is that something even humanly possible…?"

The chaotic battlefield enjoyed a moment of silence as everyone, be they man, dragon, wyvern, witches, or vampires, paused their fight.

They watched on with disbelieving gazes as Vaan dropped the whole Black Mountain on the crimson light domain to seal the vampires' only point of entry and retreat.

Boom…!!!
