The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 747 Flee!

Although the Fifth Progenitor was infuriated by Vaan's insult, he did not rush to attack him like the Eighth Progenitor did. He had seen what Vaan could and did do to the Eighth Progenitor.

With a combination of ability and wits, Vaan played the Eighth Progenitor like a fool.

Furthermore, he even discovered a terrible weakness in [Shadow Bat Movement]. Using such a movement before a spatial-ability user was akin to asking for death.

As long as parts of one's shadow bats were sealed away, one would lose some of their fighting abilities.

Although this only reduced one's physical aspects and not one's power of laws, a reduction in combat effectiveness was still a reduction nonetheless.

Having learned from the Eighth Progenitor's mistakes, the Fifth Progenitor certainly wouldn't repeat them.

"Lord Demetrius? When did you get here? Well, never mind that. Please help me out here! This Demigod Human mustn't be underestimated! He has comprehended a very destructive law!" the Eighth Progenitor requested as he coughed.

However, given his childish voice, the Fifth Progenitor found it hard to take him seriously despite making a mental note of his words.

"Lord Edwin, you seem to be in terrible shape. Of course, I will help you deal with this insolent human. You don't have to worry about that. I won't make the same mistakes as you either," the Fifth Progenitor coolly stated.

After cleaning up his house, he secretly followed the Eighth Progenitor to the human world, thinking he couldn't let the latter enjoy all the benefits of the human world for himself.

However, the Demigod Human had given him a great surprise in terms of abilities, wits, and judgment,

Nevertheless, he, too, had risen to the third stage of the Divine Blood Ream after absorbing the blood of his descendants. With the experience of the Eighth Progenitor's mistakes, he wouldn't suffer the same fate fighting the Demigod Human.

However, the Eighth Progenitor had experienced first-hand terror of fighting Vaan. As such, he was clearer on some things.

"You don't understand, Lord Demetrius!" the Eighth Progenitor gritted his teeth and shouted, "Do you think I suffer this terribly because I merely underestimated my opponent?!"

"No matter how much I overestimate my opponent, it's impossible for a normal Peak Demigod to reduce a Divine Being like me to this pitiful state! There is too big of a gap in our abilities!"

"If you were secretly watching the whole time, you should have seen how skillful his control of the Spatial Law was, Lord Demetrius!" the Eighth Progenitor reminded.

"I've naturally seen his skillful control of…"

The Fifth Progenitor was about to dismiss the Eighth Progenitor's words when a sudden realization made him break into cold sweats.

Indeed, the Demigod Human had impressive control of the Spatial Law, summoning spatial portals in difficult-to-evade times and places to trap the Eighth Progenitor.

However, a condition had to be absolutely met to create such a situation – the Demigod Human had to be able to keep up with the Eighth Progenitor's movements!

The Demigod Human's limited perception shouldn't have been able to keep up with the Eighth Progenitor's movements. But the reality was that the Demigod Human's perception did, in fact, keep up with his movements!

What did that mean?

It meant the Demigod Human's perception was abnormally more powerful than his given soul rank! Furthermore, his perception was at least comparable to the second-stage Divine Rank or higher!

The Eighth Progenitor noticed the Fifth Progenitor's comprehending look before he spat, "So, you get it now, Lord Demetrius? He must be a fucking Soul Master! A fucking Soul Master, you hear me?"

"Ahh!!"

The Eighth Progenitor screamed in anguish, knowing the Second Progenitor had screwed him over.

The so-called obstacle that the Second Progenitor mentioned didn't refer to the resisting human armies or the dragons.

It referred to a single person – a potential Soul Master!

If the Second Progenitor himself wasn't afraid of confronting a potential Soul Master, why would he need to wake up the rest of them from their long slumber? To share the glory?

The Second Progenitor wasn't so selfless!

"Fuck your grandmother, Second Progenitor!" the Fifth Progenitor cursed before turning toward the crimson light domain to flee back to Gehenna. "Fuck this shit! I want no part in this!"

Fighting a Soul Master had too many uncertainties and risks that he would rather not take.

Swish!

The Fifth Progenitor immediately turned into a blur of shadows as he darted through the sky, zooming back to the crimson light domain at his quickest speed.

However, Vaan didn't intend to let him escape.

"Since you came, don't think about leaving," Vaan coolly stated, instantly appearing in front of the Fifth Progenitor, blocking his flight path.

"Since you came, don't think about leaving," Vaan coolly stated, instantly appearing in front of the Fifth Progenitor, blocking his Seeing that, the Fifth Progenitor became even more determined to flee. He used all his power to execute a forceful maneuver around Vaan.

However, he still fell into Vaan's spatial portal.

The Fifth Progenitor heavily smashed himself into the ground several thousand meters further away from his destination and wanted to cough up blood on the spot.

In front of the power of space, distance was non-existent.

His speed would be countered unless it exceeded his opponent's perception– The Fifth Progenitor knew that. Yet, he still utilized his quickest speed to escape, resulting in the same mistake made by the Eighth Progenitor.

"Human!" the Fifth Progenitor furiously burst out of the earth, roaring with a bloodied body, "I do not wish to fight you! Why must you force my hand?!"

"Fifth Progenitor, you have no shame! You said you would help me deal with this human! Yet, you fled at the mention of a Soul Master! Where is your pride and honor?! Are your words so worthless?!" the Eighth Progenitor childishly cursed from a distance.

"Ptui! Fuck pride and honor! My life is more important! What use have I of pride and honor if I'm dead?!" the Fifth Progenitor spat contemptuously, adding, "I've just woken up after 700,000 years! I want to enjoy my life, thank you very much!"

Shortly after, the Fifth Progenitor fled towards the crimson light domain again. At the same time, his mind spun for solutions as he tried to determine the best escape.

Meanwhile, Vaan frowned in the air.

It was his second time hearing about Soul Masters. Moreover, the Vampire Lord seemed to be very afraid of them.
