The Witch Hunter System-Chapter 1015: Crying to Celestial Dragons

"Get… Get away from me!"

Another Baron barked in fear, seeing Vaan take a step towards him. He tried to retreat, but due to the strong seal on his cultivation and movements, he could only wiggle on the ground.

Vaan grabbed his back collar and lifted him off the ground before driving a claw through his back. He seized the Divine World with spatial power and ripped it out.

"Nooo—!!"

The Baron squealed like a pig getting butchered the moment he sensed his divine energy disappearing from his body.

"Next."

After tossing the Baron to the next pair of Knights, Vaan urged the next volunteer to step forward to receive the Divine Inheritance.

Just like that, Vaan produced five First-stage Divine Star Realm warriors out of the Body Refiners within a short period. Marquis Salamrut helplessly watched his uncles and nephews become cripples before it reached his turn.

For Marquis Salamrut’s Divine World, which was obviously the best of the batch, Vaan decided to give it to Old General. As for Berucha, he had other plans for him.

A few minutes later, a Third-stage Divine Star Realm warrior was born.

"Bahahaha! This Granddaddy feels amazing! Many thanks, my Lord!" Old General exclaimed raucously with joy.

Although Vaan mentioned there was a risk of death if the experiment went wrong, the Body Refiners had all seen how smoothly the transplants went. There was simply no danger at all!

Berucha and other Body Refiners couldn’t help but feel excited for their turns.

After Marquis Salamrut, the last of the nobles in the marquisate estate, was sent out for judgment, Vaan turned to the Fanghorn Soldiers and Moonwater Soldiers present. They couldn’t help but straighten their backs when they received his attention.

"Seal this place and keep the angry mobs outside. Don’t let the opportunists take advantage of their chaos to plunder this estate. The remaining family members should be investigated. Look into their history and judge them accordingly. Victims should be spared, and sinners should experience purgatory."

"Yes, Ocean Master!"

After giving the Fanghorn Soldiers and Moonwater Soldiers his instructions, Vaan led Berucha’s group to the next noble estate.

Fanghorn City alone had nearly three hundred nobles, meaning there were almost three hundred Divine Worlds to collect. The chance of clean nobles existing among them was quite small.

After all, if the head were crooked, the rest of the body wouldn’t be straight.

Perhaps many nobles could have lived a different lifestyle—one where they actually performed good deeds and lived according to noblesse oblige. Unfortunately, it couldn’t happen once they exposed themselves to the Fanghorn Lord’s twisted hobbies.

Once they experienced the thrill of sinning without consequence, it wasn’t easy to extricate themselves from such dark tendencies.

…

Inside the City Lord’s manor, gloom shrouded the hall where the Fanghorn Lord and nobles gathered. With the exception of Marquis Salamrut, they represented the highest authority among nobles in Fanghorn City.

"We’ve lost contact with Lord Salamrut."

"Sir Lepsten has also stopped communicating."

"I’m not hearing anything from Count Balgrus."

The nobles reported their loss of outside contacts with increasingly grim and heavy expressions.

Although they had abandoned their families to stay in the City Lord’s manor for its superior defense, it didn’t mean they were completely emotionless toward their kin. They just prioritized themselves over them.

"The outside has been overrun with soldiers from the Fanghorn Army and Moonwater Army while the sea monsters pressure the city with their encircle. There’s also the new Ocean Master to worry about."

"Can we do nothing but wait for our demise here?"

"Dammit, I should have fled to Celestial City at first notice! Why do I have to die here? I haven’t lived long enough yet!"

"Hmph! Given your depraved history, you should be thankful that you have even lived this long and not be judged by karma until now."

"I could say the same for you!"

Due to everyone’s tight nerves, a single disagreement immediately turned into a full-blown argument. The increasingly noisy hall put a frown on the Fanghorn Lord’s face.

"Enough!" The Fanghorn Lord silenced the noise in the hall with his empowered voice. After the hall became quiet again, he asked, "Do we not have a single piece of good news to share?"

Not long after the Fanghorn Lord said this, a servant specialized in electrical engineering suddenly barged into the hall fearfully, despite knowing he could die from a casual smack if his discourteous arrival displeased any of the nobles present.

"City Lord, I did it! I fixed the connection issue. You should be able to contact Celestial City now!"

"Well done! Finally, a piece of fucking good news!"

The Fanghorn Lord’s eyes lit up instantly. He shot up to his feet with renewed vigor. It was just a connection fix but it made his mood improve by a hundredfold.

No one had any idea that the connection problem should have never taken so long to fix, given their technical expertise and technology.

However, there was nothing they could do if Pangea chose to interfere discreetly, delaying their contact with Celestial City. If Pangea hadn’t considered the potential risks to herself, she wouldn’t have given them a chance to contact Celestial City at all.

Nevertheless, once the Fanghorn Lord confirmed the green signal on his connection with Celestial City, he immediately sent a mail to the Celestial Dragon King.

However, knowing the Celestial Dragons viewed all Celestials like insects and nobles were just bigger insects, he feared the Celestial Dragon King would not read his mail right away.

At the same time, he didn’t dare bother the Celestial Dragon King with a call, either.

As such, he wrote several more emails to other Celestial Dragons within Celestial City, hoping at least one would reply with good news.

Due to the life-and-death situation they were facing, the Fanghorn Lord didn’t hesitate to exaggerate the problem and paint black to white and white to black.

He did not mention the new Ocean Master but blamed the entire military faction instead, claiming the military faction had launched a surprise all-out offensive to wipe out the noble faction in order to restore the authority of their military government.

Once the noble faction was gone, the Celestial Dragons would be next!
