The Witch Hunter System-Chapter 694 Terrible Premonition

After absorbing the second soul fragment, Vaan's status underwent great changes. Although the recovery of his Boundless Sea and Sky Aura was most likely his greatest gain, it was not his only gain.

That said, it was definitely his most concerned gain. f reenovelkiss.com

Having glimpsed through millions of short reincarnations, Vaan had learned much about Heaven's Envy and Life Tribulation.

The so-called Heaven's Envy was a type of law that had existed since the beginning of time. The purpose of its existence was to control the growth of life and not let it grow aggressively like cancer. This was to prevent the universe from getting flooded with powerful beings capable of destroying worlds.

In simple words, Heaven's Envy was a law of balance and self-preservation, and its purpose was to prune life. Only by overcoming the Life Tribulation would one be allowed to continue living.

Although the Prime Originator, Allfather of Chaos, granted the path of everlasting to all life, he also thought it was necessary to keep such a law. Thus, even the Lord of Chaos did not touch or alter it.

Nevertheless, the heavens weren't completely heartless. It wouldn't give people Life Tribulations without recompense. There were plenty of benefits to overcoming them.

As such, Life Tribulations couldn't be considered the Damnation of the Heavens but trials or tests – those that complete them would be rewarded.

However, the problem was that the difficulty of Varuna's Life Tribulations was so great that he was mired in the vicious cycle of reincarnation millions of times.

It was no different from a death sentence.

Furthermore, Life Tribulations weren't events that only came once. So long as one lived under the heavens, they would continue to receive Life Tribulations.

'I overcame death once when I activated the system, and since then, my rise has been relatively smooth and swift. This could be considered passing a Life Tribulation and receiving its reward…' Vaan thought.

As a man living in a matriarchal society, his life had been truly difficult; death was just around every corner, waiting for him to stumble.

There should have been many more unreasonable witches like the City Lord's daughter, who ignored all rules and reason throughout the kingdom.

However, he had actually encountered so few of them and met many more reasonable witches that he had always been suspicious and doubtful of his heaven-defying luck. As it turned out, this was part of the heavens' blessings for passing the Life Tribulation.

'I have achieved a level of power others wouldn't even dare to dream of achieving in several decades, let alone in less than a year. With my present abilities, I should be able to contend with weak Divine Beings now…' Vaan deeply mused.

The Boundless Sea and Sky Aura had raised the difficulty of his future Life Tribulations. Thus, he had to consider everything that could threaten the current him. In fact, there were too many to list.

There was nothing he could do to resist if the sun suddenly exploded or Outer Beings descended from the sea of stars.

However…

'As I thought, the closest things that could threaten me right now are the seven Great Devils…' Vaan felt a tremendous weight bearing him down.

He wasn't ready to contend with Peak Rank 6 Divine Beings like the seven Great Devils.

However, that was only the case if he was in Gehenna. If they came to Pangea, their powers would be suppressed. He wouldn't mind slaying a few Divine Beings in that case.

But if the Great Devils found a way to ignore the worldly power suppression…

Vaan's heart chilled.

Imperial Capital, Delarosa Household

Shortly after Fraegar discovered the weakness of Blood Magic, she quickly instructed her fellow peers, "Destroy his blood reserve with Poison Magic! He won't be able to use his Blood Manipulation if there's no blood to control!"

"Yes, Lady Fraegar!" the other dragons answered.

After they fended off the Double Contractor Galen's attack, they immediately targeted his blood bank with poison spells. They knew they couldn't compete with Galen directly. Thus, they chose to weaken him first by destroying his advantage.

All of a sudden, Galen found his blood bank bombarded with poisonous green spells. The highly venomous power seeped into the pool of blood and fused with it, altering its properties.

Not only did the blood coagulate, but they also became heavy, like dense metal. Even though Galen could still control the coagulated blood to an extent, it was too burdensome compared to normal blood. (f)reenovelkiss

The coagulated blood drained his mental power like crazy when he tried to force the issue.

Galen's expression darkened instantly.

"Pesky lizards, you have enraged me! Do you think you can stop me if you ruin my blood bank?!" Galen roared.

He quickly separated the normal blood from coagulate blood to salvage what he could before drawing them all into his blood.

Despite the huge volume of blood, Galen's body was like a bottomless abyss, swallowing it without an issue. However, his flesh became increasingly flushed, and his eyes glistened with greater crimson intensity.

At the same time, the entire Blood Slaughter Domain was quickly shrouded in darkness with a wave of his hand, obscuring everyone's vision.

"You fools. Blood isn't the only thing I can control," Galen spat with contempt.

Vampires were the rulers of blood and darkness. Since he was bestowed the concentrated blood essence of the Vampire Ancestor, he was no different from a Royal Vampire.

Naturally, he inherited the power of blood and darkness.

Inside the shrouded region of darkness, Galen's presence vanished as if he had become one with the darkness. At the same time, he could still see the concentrated blood of everyone's heart.

Every heartbeat was like a pulse that allowed Galen to hear and see people's entire network of blood vessels. Furthermore, by studying the blood flow and heart rate, he could sense everyone's emotions and predict their movements.

Galen's vision was enhanced while others were robbed of theirs.

"Let the hunt begin—"

Galen's smug look abruptly froze as powerful beams of light erupted from the dragons' locations, dispersing their surrounding darkness.

"You pesky lizards and your magic are truly annoying," Galen spat gloomily.

Although he was powerful, he was still a newly awakened Royal Vampire. He was still in the testing phase of his abilities.
