The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 1044: Can't Reason With a Madman

After the initial shock of the Divine Attendant's death, the remaining Divine Attendants were even more horrified to realize that they did not know the extent of Valefor's strength.

However, at the very least, they knew he was someone they had no chance of defeating. Even escaping from him would be highly difficult, given their proximity.

The Divine Attendants were at Valefor's mercy.

Valefor had only demonstrated his power twice, but he had already suppressed the Divine Attendants to the point of suffocation. Not even the three Half-step Rank 6 Divine Beings among them could react to his killing move, not to mention it was a very casual one.

The disparity between them was like heaven and earth.

Most of the Divine Attendants' hearts were shaken when they realized they could all die if they weren't careful with their next words.

Keeva Discord took a deep breath to calm her nerves before re-evaluating Valefor.

"Do you realize what you have done? You have killed a representative of another star realm, a Peak Rank 6 Divine Being under the Witch of Plague Calamity, no less. Your reckless action is equivalent to a declaration of war. However, even if Nightmare doesn't do anything, you have disobeyed the Skymagia Royal Family's decree and earned their wrath. Do you get it? You have doomed yourself and everyone around you!"

At first, Keeva Discord spoke very carefully, reminding Valefor about the consequences of his actions. However, seeing his inaction, the more she said, she regained some of her confidence.

Unfortunately, she had overestimated Valefor's insanity. When she saw Valefor raise his hand, her entire being screamed with danger.

"Nooo—!"

Puchi!

With another flick of Valefor's middle finger, another arrow of concentrated asura power pierced Keeva's forehead and incinerated her body and soul, killing her effortlessly like the last one.

Even a Half-step Rank 7 Divine Being could not resist Valefor's execution.

"You—!!"

The other two Half-step Rank 7 Divine Beings glared at Valefor with helpless rage, despair, and horror.

From their perspective, Keeva Discord had spoken very reasonably. She was neither overbearing nor humble. Yet, she was still killed.

In front of a madman like Valefor, they simply could not reason at all.

"Since she said I have doomed myself and the people around me, why should I still let you all leave this realm alive?" Valefor grinned coldly, sending chills down the Divine Attendants' spines.

In that instant, the Divine Attendants all realized Valefor had intended to kill them all from the start. The hatred buried deep in his eyes appeared to be directed at their specific kind.

However, the Divine Attendants couldn't understand when and how their realm made such a terrifying enemy.

Still, they understood that they were going to die regardless of what they said. As such, they only had one thought, no matter how hopeless it seemed: Flee!

Clover and Estrella simultaneously sent voice transmissions to the other Divine Attendants and starship crew under the deck, instructing them to prepare for escape. The moment they gave the signal to ignite the thrusters on full throttle, they immediately guarded against Valefor's attack.

Unfortunately, if Valefor wanted them to stay, then they wouldn't be able to leave.

Valefor's manifested asura power gripped the red starship like a telekinetic hand, preventing it from soaring into the sea of stars. At the same time, his asura power continued to overlap in layers, strengthening his hold over the red starship while creating an inescapable cage. ṛ𝖆ＮöᛒΕṩ

As the red starship's thrust power increased, so did the Valefor's tightening grasp.

The Divine Attendants were forced to reinforce the starship's shield with their combined power to avoid getting squeezed to death. After all, they had nowhere else to go once they were trapped within Valefor's cage.

Unfortunately, even their combined powers could not stop Valefor's shrinking cage from crushing their shield and starship altogether.

"Nooo—!!"

The Divine Attendant cried before Valefor ultimately clenched his fist, crushing everything with his overwhelming asura power.

The starship imploded, and a violent wave of hot energy swept inside the rapidly shrinking cage. It claimed all lives within and reduced the starship to scrap metal.

Shortly after, Valefor nonchalantly hurled the burning remains outside the boundary of Vladigold City for people to salvage later.

Ding!

<You have killed a Half-step Rank 7 Divine Witch (x3)>

<You have killed a Peak Rank 6 Divine Witch (x9)>

<You have killed a Rank 5 Transcendent Witch (x27)>

<You have killed a Rank 4 High Witch (x281)>

…

After the Divine Attendants and crew died, their mana sources were collectively absorbed by Valefor.

However, given his level of cultivation and its uniqueness, the mana sources of the deceased witches had little effect on him. After all, the system was already flawed and incomplete.

It was not very helpful beyond a certain level.

Otherwise, Valefor would have long ascended to godhood with the billions of lives he reaped in his original timeline.

Still, even if the system was flawed and incomplete, it wasn't completely useless. Mosquito meat was still meat, no matter how little it was.

Ding!

<You have killed a large number of witches at once, triggering a Grand Elimination-type Witch Hunt>

<[Objective]: Eliminate 10,000 witch-type beings>

<[Reward]: Currently unknown. The reward is calculated after the completion of the witch hunt. Note: The more witches of higher levels hunted, the better the final reward>

<[Current Progress]: 320/10,000>

…

Valefor wasn't surprised to see the grand elimination-type witch hunt, but he didn't care about it either. He had completed many such witch hunts in the original timeline, so he also knew the rewards weren't anything great.

At the very least, the benefit was never worth the effort.

As someone who had exploited the Witch Hunter System to the best of his ability, Valefor knew that it was just an incomplete tool used to encourage killing witches.

It seemed the original creator of the system had a deep grudge against the witches.

…

Shortly after Thanatos confirmed the death of Nightmare's witches, his manifestation appeared in front of Valefor nervously.

"My Lord, even if you silenced all the representatives today, Nightmare will still know what happened today. I'm afraid they will report to the Skymagia Royal Family about this and summon its wrath upon us. Do you have a solution regarding this?"

Although Thanatos believed they were completely screwed, he still had to ask.
