The Witch Hunter System-Chapter 1028: Indiscriminate Slaughter

Although the bisected Dragonoid man brought about his situation by entering a spatial rift that he had no understanding or control over, the Celestial Dragons still blamed Valefor for his severed state.

"Kill him! But do not give him the mercy of a quick death! He has to pay for intruding into our holy land and harming our people!"

A Dragonoid man riled up the Celestial Dragons as he drew out a golden sword from his storage ring.

When Valefor saw more than four dozen Celestial Dragons equipped with various divine armaments, he couldn't help but grin in anticipation.

Although he didn't know if they had also comprehended Weapon Intent like the Hammer User, he looked forward to the possible surprises they could deliver him.

Not even two breaths after the strike order, a burly Dragonoid woman dropped down from directly above Valefor, swinging down her giant battle-axe pre-emptively.

Due to Valefor's lack of movements, it didn't seem like he was aware of her attack.

However, he suddenly sidestepped and narrowly avoided the battle-axe's cleave at the last moment, giving the burly Dragonoid woman little time to readjust her attack. She could only do her best to reduce her exerted strength to weaken her recoil and shorten the time for her follow up attack.

Even so, her giant battle-axe still embedded several inches into the silver floor, damaging the city's foundation.

Unfortunately, the Dragonoid woman wasn't given enough time to raise her battle-axe before Valefor stepped on its belly and backhanded in the face, sending her flying away.

Shortly after, Valefor lifted his foot and gave the giant battle-axe a light kick, causing it to spin a few times in the air before the handle landed firmly in his grip. He rested the head on his spare palm and inspected the weapon with a nostalgic look.

"Not bad. I can use this," Valefor muttered.

The moment the weapon entered his hands, his aura seemed to have changed into that of a weapon master. Given his aura was already full of blood and slaughter, the giant battle-axe only strengthened its oppressive.

Although the Celestial Dragons didn't know about Valefor's past, they instinctively understood what it meant to put a killing weapon in the hands of a person with the aura of a merciless butcher.

Valefor had become especially dangerous in everyone's eyes.

The Celestial Dragons, who charged at the forefront of the group, immediately halted their advances upon feeling the dreadful pressure and danger that Valefor's aura was giving off.

Alas, even among Celestial Dragons, there would always be some brave or foolish souls.

"Die—!!!"

A jacked Dragonoid man swung his heavy, jagged mace down on Valefor's head, intending to crush him into a pulp with sheer force and weight.

In that instant, Valefor's gaze flashed with sharpness.

Boom!

With another narrow sidestep, Valeofor evaded the heavy, crushing attack before swinging the two-handed battle-axe upward with one hand swiftly like it was made of feathers.

Splurt!

Blood immediately sprayed from the jacked Dragonoid man's arms as he dropped his big, jagged mace along with his severed hands.

"Arghhh!! My hands—!"

The jacked Dragonoid man retreated two steps before a silver line flashed across his neck, ending his short outcry of pain. Blood quickly sprayed from his neck as his head rolled onto the ground.

His headless body dropped to the cold floor shortly after.

Valefor had to admit that even he could lose if he played around too much. The Celestial Dragons' large numbers would exhaust his strength. As such, he had to reduce their numbers.

Nevertheless, the loud commotion on the streets quickly attracted more Celestial Dragons to the scene, increasing the several dozen Celestial Dragons into the hundreds.

Sparring between Celestial Dragons was very common in Celestial City, but it was never this rowdy or impactful—to the point that it would affect other parts of the city or the entire Dragon Heart as a whole.

After all, Celestial Dragons usually sparred within a designated battle arena, isolated by an energy barrier that required the help of at least four other Celestial Dragons to erect.

Without the protection of the divine energy barrier, Valefor's brief battle with Celestial Dragons had already caused more damage to Celestial City than anything it had ever experienced in its entire history.

Shortly after Valefor's decisive kill stunned the Celestial Dragons, they became enraged for their fallen kin. Due to their small population, they valued the lives of their members far more than any other race.

Each Celestial Dragon was more precious than millions of Celestials.

"Kill him! Make him pay!"

"Avenge Sir Fabios!"

Within moments, Valefor earned the hatred of every Celestial Dragon and entered a full-blown war with them. They wouldn't rest until they killed him.

Under such a situation, it might be impossible to subjugate the Celestial Dragons and turn them into subordinates. Still, this kind of issue was none of Valefor's concern. If they couldn't be used when they were alive, their corpses would still be of use.

Once Valefor realized the situation he had created, he became more decisive with his kill. Even if they hated him, they could still know fear!"

"Kill that bastard—"

Splat!

Just as a relatively weak Dragonoid man chanted Valefor's death sentence, his head exploded into blood splatter under the might of the giant battle-axe tossed by Valefor.

It was only after this second kill did the battle finally erupted into full motion.

Dozens of furious Celestial Dragons charged at Valefor, wielding swords, sabers, spears, axes, hammers, and even small knives but not a single bow and arrow.

In the eyes of the proud Celestial Dragons, ranged weapons like bows, crossbows, throwing knives, and needles were cowardly weapons. As such, none of them were manufactured and used for such battle styles.

Thanks to that, Valefor also avoided a load of pressure.

"Hahaha! Come!"

Valefor made a devilish grin, and his slaughter energy erupted, transforming the surroundings into an oppressive, gloomy crimson field. Once his Asura Domain was deployed, the area became his playground.

Many Celestial Dragons felt their steps became heavier and slower as if they had just entered a high-gravity zone. However, such feelings were only illusions conjured by their minds after being affected by the oppressive and suffocating aura.

Valefor's first two kills had certainly planted the seed of fear in their hearts and amplified it countless times through the Asura Domain.

"What the hell is this weird atmosphere?! I can't fully utilize my strength!"

"Everyone, guard yourselves with divine energy! Don't let this strange field of blood and slaughter affect your state of mind!"

Amid the panic and surprise, some quick-witted Celestial Dragons discovered the trick to resisting the coercion of the Asura Domain. Unfortunately, the mental debuffs only covered one aspect of its several functions.

They could resist the mental debuff, but they couldn't stop the Asura Domain from empowering Valefor.

To deploy an Asura Domain was to turn the area into a region governed by the Asura Law. It allowed Valefor to draw upon the power of the Asura Lawn and utilize it more easily.

Valefor's slaughter energy was only the catalyst to draw the Asura Law into the area and concentrate it.

It was like Fire Law User turning a lush green plain into a region of flowing magma and active volcanoes to draw upon the fiery elements that had gathered.

Even if another Domain were deployed within it, the opposing opponent would still be at a disadvantage unless it was big enough to break the encirclement. After all, it would just be a small balloon trapped inside of a bigger balloon; it wouldn't be able to draw in outside air to enlarge itself.

As such, staying inside such Domains would only be putting oneself at a severe disadvantage.

Shinggg!

A sharp silver light suddenly cut through the Asura Domain, creating a long tear in its gloomy crimson bubble.

Valefor's eyes narrowed with understanding, recognizing the silver light as the Sword Intent of a Sword User. Indeed, the sharpness of Sword Intent could cut open his Asura Domain.

Although the tear in the Asura Domain was repaired in a matter of seconds, the Celestial Dragons in the area still felt like they had briefly breathed in the fresh air from an opened window after getting trapped inside an enclosed room full of burning smoke.

It made them realize the importance of escaping the crimson field. Staying inside would only smother them to death.

Unfortunately, the Celestial Dragons closest to Valefor had no chance of fleeing as they were forced to engage him in combat. Moreover, as Valefor moved, the Asura Domain moved along with him.

The Asura Domain wasn't a stationary object that could only stay in one place after dropping.

As such, if the Celestial Dragons all fled in the same direction, they would never escape. Their only hope of breaking out of the Asura Domain was to scatter in different directions.

However, doing so would also weaken their battle prowess as a coordinated group, becoming easy targets for Valefor to pick off.

"Ahhh! Save me!"

Terrified wails could be heard from time to time within the depths of the Asura Domain.

If the Celestial Dragons had bravely fought Valefor head-on, they wouldn't have been so afraid, even if it was a foolish thing to do. However, it was a different feeling once they turned their backs on him to escape the bloody field.

Their sense of fear would certainly be stronger under such circumstances.

Within minutes, several dozen Celestial Dragons fell under a variety of weapons picked up by Valefor.

It didn't seem like he had any weapon specialization but rather mastered every type of weapon. Although Weapon Intent wasn't always shown, his proficiency in using different weapons showed his great familiarity with them.

"Devil! This monster is the Devil—Arghhh!"

Another Dragonoid man growled in pain after getting impaled into the silver wall of a building by a golden spear.

…

Meanwhile, the Celestial Dragon King's previous indifference to the situation disappeared after reviewing the despairing footage displayed by AI Pangea at his request.

Bang!

The ground deformed under the Celestial Dragon King's angry stomp as he gnashed his teeth and stared at the holographic screen furiously.

"Who the hell is this bastard?! How dare he invade my city and kill my people!" the Celestial Dragon King roared.

The Celestial Dragon King could see that Valefor's strength had long transcended the Divine Star Realm and entered the realm of Divine Transformation. Those Celestial Dragons with Half-step Divine Transformation Realm battle prowess were simply no match for him.

Only he, the Celestial Dragon King, could match such a powerful opponent!

Boom!

Without any further delay, the Celestial Dragon King stormed out of his Dragon King Palace and rushed toward the scene of battle, hoping to arrive sooner to minimize the damages and losses.
