The Witch Hunter System

Somewhere in the Western Sea, Valefor plunged to the sea floor after Vaan kicked him through the spatial portal. However, he did not exit at his original location but somewhere else.

At the same time, the unstable spatial portal closed earlier than intended.

'Now, where the fuck is this? If you're going to send me back, at least send me back to the right place!' Valefor complained in his mind with a big frown.

Although Valefor blamed Vaan, the fault was none other than his own. The murderous aura of his Asura Law had interfered with Vaan's spatial power and destabilized the portal.

As a result, the coordinates were altered, landing Valefor where he was now.

Actually, Vaan intended to send Valefor to the Dragon-Serpent Clan to check on the situation. However, the latter's aura had indeed affected the spatial portal, dropping him several hundred kilometers off the mark.

Nevertheless, Valefor wasn't in a hurry to leave. He chose to study his surroundings with slight interest since he never really explored the Boundless Sea in his original timeline.

Since he was here, he might as well use this chance to look around. In any case, he didn't have any urgent business after wiping out three Celestial armies.

Suddenly, the looming shadows of giant sea monsters approached to investigate the disturbance in the sea region. When they spotted Valefor, they instinctively wanted to eat him.

However, they were immediately baffled when they got closer to him. They suddenly couldn't decide whether to eat him or not. It was as if another part of their instincts were fighting back their more primal instincts, telling them that he wasn't food.

Meanwhile, Valefor frowned at the confused sea monsters.

He was prepared to kill them since they approached with killing intent. However, they suddenly didn't know what they wanted. They were like lost lambs who didn't know what to do with life.

"Poor fools, scram! Find somewhere else to sort out your shit!" Valefor snapped at the sea monsters.

His surge of slaughter aura immediately terrified the sea monsters and drove them away. Even they knew the definition of fear when facing something similar to death's incarnate.

Nevertheless, Valefor soon found a problem. He realized he wasn't much of a swimmer. Unless he utilized his Asura Law, he was like an anchor in the water. He could move quickly with brute force, but his body would sink back to the solid seafloor quickly.

He couldn't stay afloat.

Still, the sea floor possessed more objects of interest anyway. Thus, Valefor decided to walk the sea floor instead of tediously learning how to swim with his new heavy body.

Boom… Boom…

Every step he took caused slight tremors along the sea floor and ripples through the seawater.

Several dozen kilometers away, Sir Ethar and a few of his Knights hid in a seamount cave to avoid the patrolling sea monster that suddenly invaded the Inner Sea.

They had attempted communication with Silverscale City while heading toward the Southwestern Sea's direction to investigate the source of the seismic earthquake.

However, all forms of contact with Silverscale City seemed to have been cut off, as if they were temporarily experiencing bad reception. Even after time passed, they still couldn't reach out to Silverscale City with their communication devices.

With no access to the Celestial Network, they were blinded to the sea monsters' invasion until they saw them in the Inner Sea with their own eyes.

The discovery shocked and scared them to no end and forced them into hiding until now.

"Dammit, what is going in the Western Sea right now? How can there be sea monsters here? Why is there no network reception in this sea region? Does it have something to do with the previous earthquake?"

"Given the magnitude of its power, I wouldn't be surprised if the network towers were damaged… After all, I doubt anything was ever built to withstand that level of—"

"Shush for a moment," Sir Ethar said with a frown. "Can you hear that?"

Boom… Boom…

The quiet tremors sounded quite distant but grew clearer with each frequency.

At the same time, the sea monsters in the area also left, causing Sir Ethar's group to feel pleasantly surprised and excited.

Sir Ethar performed a series of hand seals before drawing a line across his eyes with two fingers, activating one of his divine spells.

Heavenly Spirit Eyes!

Sir Ethar carefully peeked outside the seamount cave with his ocular ability and confirmed the absence of sea monsters within a fifty-kilometer radius.

At the same time, he also discovered the source of the rhythmic tremors. When he focused on the person's appearance, he became dazed for a moment before joy overwhelmed him.

"Hahaha… the heavens must be helping me! What a fool. He doesn't even know how to swim!" Sir Ethar exclaimed heartily.

Although his Knights wondered what he saw, Sir Ethar didn't answer them. He immediately shot out of the cave to capture his target.

Knowing his target had very good spatial abilities and could easily escape, Sir Ethar feared alerting his target. As such, he cast divine stealth spells on himself, erasing the ripples created by his movements.

When Sir Ethar got close enough, his eyes immediately flashed with a ruthless glint, aiming his sword-like chop on his target's neck.

Pat…

Valefor's feet sank several inches deeper into the sea floor, leaving behind a footprint in the rocky ground and scattering bits of sand in the area.

Sir Ethar thought his striking power was great, but Valefor practically took no damage. He watched in horror as the latter slowly turned his head, eyeing him with gloominess.

The seemingly infinite slaughter energy in his abyss-like black eyes sent a chill down Sir Ethar's spine.

"Did you just hit me?"

"N-No, this was just a misunderstanding, Your Excellency. I mistook you for someone else—"

Poof…!

Valefor "patted" Sir Ethar back.

However, the latter's body couldn't withstand his pat the same way and exploded into a mass of blood, dying on the spot.

"What an imbecile," Valefor snorted before continuing on his way.

Some distance away, Sir Ethar's Knights witnessed his pathetic and helpless death, and their hearts chilled with dread and alarm.

"Good lord… Was that really the target we were hunting?" a Knight gulped.
