The Witch Hunter System

'Do not try to face Abaddon. Buy time if you can, and run if you can't. You only need to survive until I arrive; that is all I ask of you. Abaddon's power is beyond your imagination. Even I dread his power despite fighting him to a draw,' Hecate seriously said.

'What power does he have that you would dread it so, Lady Hecate?' Vaan asked curiously.

'Abaddon has comprehended the Blood Law, Darkness Law, and Asura Law to a high level. The Blood Law and Darkness Law aren't of any concern to me, but it's a very different story for the Asura Law.'

'The Asura Law is a demonic law of slaughter and killing. Although it isn't as miraculous as the Nihility Law regarding functions, it's the most powerful law for fighting. Its attack power is arguably greater than even the Nihility Law.'

'This is because the Asura Law is the Origin Law of the Lord of Chaos,' Hecate stated.

After Vaan listened to Hecate's explanation, he quickly understood how fearsome the Asura Law was.

Although the Nihility Law was a law of the highest order in the third-dimensional world, the Asura Law had been elevated to the same level because of the Lord of Chaos transcending the heavens.

As such, the Asura Law was stronger than it was in the past.

'In the current era, it wouldn't be wrong to say the Asura Law is the strongest law in Chaos. And unlike the Nihility Law, it is quite widespread in Chaos. Comprehending the Asura Law is like a form of recognition and respect to the Lord of Chaos,' Hecate added.

Even as she was speaking to Vaan with her mind, she was rushing to the Evernight Territory at her quickest speed. Alas, her lingering wounds from the previous battle also prevented her from traveling as fast as she hoped to.

She only hoped that she could make it in time.

…

During this time, Vaan learned everything he could about Abaddon and his Asura Law.

At the same time, he was given a deeper insight into Chaos. Surprisingly, Chaos was the most fitting name for its overall situation.

Almost half of all Realm Wars that occurred in Chaos were the result of its denizens learning and advancing their understanding of the Asura Law. Another half was caused by the desire to acquire resources.

Only a small fraction of the Realm Wars were actually due to personal feuds.

Chaos was truly a chaotic place. It was far from peaceful. In this eternal world, immortality was not the main pursuit in life – Vaan didn't find this surprising.

After all, an eternal lifespan was not the same as being unkillable. Eternal life was meaningless if one did not possess matching strength to protect it. Otherwise, it could only be robbed by others.

'Ironically, life in the eternal world is more fleeting than the mortal world,' Vaan mused.

Suddenly, he thought of something and immediately asked, 'Since Realm Wars are very common in Chaos, has Gehenna ever had one?'

'Not directly, no.'

'Not directly?'

'Gehenna is only one of countless star realms in the Eternal Darkheaven Sector. While it seems to be an independent realm, it is actually one of ninety-eight star realms under the control of the Skymagia Star Kingdom.'

'One million years ago, the Skymagia Star Kingdom waged a major Realm War against the Divinesun Star Kingdom. All Rank 6 Divine Beings and above were conscripted into the war, including Gehenna's Seven Great Devils of that time.'

'Naturally, they perished and never made it back.'

'I see…'

'You're awfully laidback despite a Great Devil knocking on your door,' Hecate suddenly mentioned, noticing the lack of urgency in Vaan's tone.

'I have already laid down the strongest and sturdiest object to block Abaddon's descent, Lady Hecate. There is nothing else I can do but wait and see from here,' Vaan calmly replied.

Trying to reinforce the black pillar's defense was pointless when most people couldn't even get close to it. Even if they could, their magic powers weren't strong enough to strengthen such a sturdy and enormous object.

Furthermore, Abaddon's power was far too great. The dragons and witches would only be exhausting themselves before the greater battle ahead.

It was a far wiser choice to conserve their energy for the next waves of vampires that would emerge—should the black pillar's sturdy defense fail to obstruct their entry to Pangea.

Rumble…!

The towering black pillar shook again as it suffered another powerful blow for the seventh time in the last ten minutes. Unlike before, it did not appear as stable. The impact from the other side caused it to tilt slightly.

At the same time, several huge pieces of star core iron splintered off the black pillar, dropping to the ground with seismic booms.

As Vaan observed the shift in the black pillar, he quickly understood Abaddon's plan on the other side.

Abaddon did not want to expend too much power trying to destroy the black pillar. After all, no matter what, the black pillar was still a priceless treasure made of the densest iron from a star's core.

As such, he was only trying to knock it over to create an opening.

The black pillar did not need to be destroyed or removed as long as a clear passage between Gehenna and Pangea was formed.

To that end, countless vampires were digging up the earth on their side to destabilize the black pillar's standing.

At the same time, Abaddon and the other Vampire Lords struck the black pillar with synchronized attacks to speed up the process. They were the only ones who could get close to the black pillar.

The lower-rank vampires and livestock could only dig up the earth outside the black pillar's gravitational pressure.

Naturally, those who were a bit stronger dug a little closer.

"Keep digging! It is only a matter of time before this black pillar falls! Our entry to Pangea will be opened then!" Abaddon barked, subconsciously waving his left hand to command the vampires.

His majestic image was quickly ruined by the awkward state of his small left arm.

Nevertheless, no one dared to joke about it.

More importantly, the vampires and livestock didn't understand the sudden urgency to invade Pangea.

Even if they could help the Blood Ancestor create an opening, only the Vampire Lords could follow him to the other side. The rest couldn't do the same—not with the black pillar's gravitational pressure bearing down on them.

They would be crushed to death before they could reach the opening.
