The Witch Hunter System-Chapter 715 Treachery

?"Did you hear that, Fraegar? Not only is she cowardly, but she is also deaf and blind," Vaan said jokingly to Fraegar while taunting Velorina.

Fraegar couldn't help but laugh as she relaxed. Since her Supreme Leader arrived, then she had nothing to worry about.

But at the same time, she couldn't help but feel shocked by her miraculous recovery. That red elixir was just too potent. It must be extremely precious and rare.

Fraegar felt touched, and her inner desire was reinforced – She had to find a way to achieve human form so she could bear the Supreme Leader's child! They could create a wonder baby with her new generational talent and the Supreme Leader's peerless bloodline!

Meanwhile, Velorina venomously glared at Vaan with caution and envy but mostly rage. She noticed his lustrous and grand dragon-silk attire. It must have been made with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship.

"Insolent Human! How dare you insult me!" Velorina screamed furiously, but she did not dare to attack. She couldn't break through Vaan's invisible wall even if she did.

However, Vaan didn't intend to use infinite spatial expansion again.

It was one of the most basic applications of the Spatial Law, but it was also an inefficient and wasteful usage of mental strength. It was only good for posturing and demonstrating the vast difference in strength to a weaker opponent. To stronger opponents, it was an express ticket to death.

"Oh? Are you envious of me too?" Vaan glanced at Velorina with pity.

"You are truly a sorry excuse of a being. I would teach you an unforgettable lesson for what you have done to Fraegar… But unfortunately, I don't have that much time to waste on you."

"So you can just die," Vaan stated.

Shortly after, he pointed a finger at Velorina, and a beam of nothingness shot out. Before Velorina could react to anything, the beam of nothingness had already penetrated her forehead and dispersed her soul.

Velorina died without seeing how she died.

Fraegar stared at Velorina's fallen corpse with a blank look for a moment before she was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe such a difficult opponent had died just like that.

However, that also spoke volumes of the Supreme Leader's power – Unfathomable and unparalleled.

When Fraegar glanced at Vaan, her eyes were filled with even more respect, reverence, and adoration, thinking no other being could ever match up to him.

Nevertheless, Vaan didn't stick around after collecting Velorina's corpse. He had already said what he needed to say to Fraegar. As such, he took off to the next location that needed him.

Meanwhile, Lord Fergus and several high-ranking vampires within the top ten of the Night Parade fled back into the crimson light zone, which had become a part of Gehenna.

"In the end, we still ran pathetically in defeat. So much for taking down that human, even if it cost our lives," the second-

rank Royal Vampire, Melchior Albatroz, commented with ridicule as he recalled Fergus's previous words in battle.

"Hmph!" Fergus Albatroz snorted at his younger brother's snide remark and retorted, "If some idiot didn't drive the bats crazy and ruin our formation, why would I need to order a retreat?"

"The situation became impossible to salvage. With the disorder in our ranks, it was clearly impossible to take down that human. I don't know why the bats wouldn't attack that human, but I know we have to report everything back to the Blood Ancestor."

"That said, I find it strange that the Blood Ancestor has yet to arrive. I fear something back home is delaying the Blood Ancestor's arrival…" Fergus Albatroz mentioned with a frown.

In his preoccupied mind, he did notice the cold glimmer in Melchior's eyes. By the time he sensed Melchior's sudden surge of killing intent, it was already too late.

Puchi!

Melchior ran straight through Fergus's back before he ripped out his heart, depriving him of half his blood power and severely injuring him.

"Y-You…!"

Fergus shot Melchior a look of disbelief and fury, confused and pained by his act of betrayal.

"Sorry, Big Brother," Melchior apologized without a hint of emotion and said, "However, you have already lost your right to lead us after that colossal failure. Do you think you still have the right to return to the Evernight Territory alive?"

"I will be the one to report your pathetic failure and everything else to the Blood Ancestor. You don't have to worry about anything and die in peace. I will put your divinity to good use and become a better leader than you ever will," Melchior declared with a cruel grin.

"You bastard…! To think you harbored such treacherous ambitions! I was a fool to have trusted you! Do you think the clan elders will agree with your leadership?!" Fergus barked with suppressed fury.

"You don't have to worry about that. Those Old Things are in deep slumber. If no one wakes them up, how would they know what happened to you?" Melchior laughed coldly.

Fergus felt helpless in front of Melchior after suffering a crippling injury from him. He could only watch the latter consume his heart and perfectly assimilate his divine power.

There wasn't a single shred of rejection, as they shared the same blood.

After Melchior cut off Fergus's head and absorbed the rest of his blood power to ascend to Rank 6 Divine Being from Half-

step Divine Being, Fergus's life finally withered away.

"Seeing as no one made a move against me, I presume you all agree with me taking the reins from here?" Melchior calmly asked, sweeping the high-ranking vampires a glance.

"…We don't," the vampire group expressed their stance.

After Melchior assimilated Fergus's divine power, his blood aura felt slightly more powerful than Fergus at his peak. As such, even if they didn't find his treacherous action agreeable, they couldn't do anything about it.

"Good!" Melchior nodded before saying, "Then, let us return to the Evernight Territory to find the Blood Ancestor. We will pin all the blame on Fergus for our collective failure."

Melchior's last line immediately received strong approval. If Fergus took all the blame, they could all escape punishment and return without worry.

However, at that moment, none of them knew that the Evernight Territory was currently quaking in terror under the wrath of another Great Devil.
