The Witch Hunter System - Chapter 1024

Boom!

Inside Fanghorn City's Residential Zone, the barrier protecting the City Lord's manor shattered under a sudden yet powerful attack. The impact shook the entire manor, alarming the Fanghorn Lord and high-ranking nobles.

Their expressions at that moment were one to behold.

"Quickly repair the barrier!" the Fanghorn Lord cried out in urgency, face pale with horror.

Although the nobles quickly restored the barrier within a few breaths, everyone's heart palpitated with dread. Everyone knew a few breaths of vulnerability was a few breaths too long.

Any number of enemies could have intruded within the manor during that time.

As such, no one felt safe, even after the new barrier was erected. This was because the nobles had a new guest among them in the big hall. The sight of a Dragonoid woman should have made the Fanghorn Lord overjoyed since reinforcement from Celestial City arrived.

However, the Dragonoid woman gave him a terribly wrong feeling based on her expression. It was no surprise since Lady Nurla glared at him like she was looking at her mortal enemy.

After all, although Lady Nurla did not know the details of Sir Mugim's email, she knew the Fanghorn Lord must have hidden important information.

Otherwise, Sir Mugim would have brought more people to resolve Fanghorn City's situation. At the same time, she would not have been reduced to a mere maidservant of a Land Dweller.

Since she couldn't defy Vaan, she could only direct her hatred and anger at the Fanghorn Lord.

"You are... Lady Nurla, right? Where is Lord Mugim?" the Fanghorn Lord asked carefully, not daring to approach the Dragonoid woman.

"Hmph!" Lady Nurla snorted before gritting her teeth. "You still have the gall to ask me?!"

"Be careful!" the Fanghorn Lord quickly warned everyone, sensing the danger from Lady Nurla spiked.

However, his warning came a step too late. Lady Nurla's dragon grip caught the neck of an unsuspecting Earl and raised him into the air, startling the latter. But despite the person's frightened resistance, he was like a helpless chicken in her grasp.

He could not free himself, nor did he need to.

The Earl immediately received his freedom in the next moment when Lady Nurla hurled him away. Unfortunately, she threw in the direction of the barrier outside the manor.

Bang!

The Earl slammed into the barrier heavily, causing it to ripple with waves of energy along its spherical surface. At the same time, all the organs in the Earl's body were displaced, and his bones shattered.

Although he didn't die outright due to his last-second protection of divine energy, he was still incapacitated due to heavy injuries.

"Lady Nurla, what is the meaning of this?!"

The high-ranking nobles quickly retreated from Lady Nurla with alarm and fear. They did not worry about being the quickest to get away; they only cared about not being the slowest.

After all, the slowest was the most likely to be caught next.

Nevertheless, the process of integrating Celestials into the UN could only be taken one step at a time. Once the Celestail Districts were established and running without issues, only then would further batches of Celestial civilians be considered for transfer to the surface.

Absorbing the Celestial Kingdom was just like eating a giant cake; overeating would only upset the stomach. It had to be eaten one bite at a time. That said, the resources, manpower, and technology of Fanghorn City and Moonwater City alone were enough to hasten space development by at least tenfold.

It was hard to imagine how much Pangea would transform within a short time once all the cities of the Celestial Kingdom were conquered.

Vaan had to admit that the developments he pushed forward would change everyone's life as they know it. Many people would even find it difficult to adapt to the new world and get left behind by the rapid changes.

However, this issue was inconsequential compared to the bigger picture. A weak Pangea would only be eliminated in the great river of time.

On the grand scale of the current universe or even the boundless Chaos at large, Pangea was just an insignificant little planet. Whether it was planetary-level asteroids, nihility fractures, or black holes, any of these natural forces could easily obliterate Pangea from existence.

As such, strong planetary defenses and surveillance were necessary, whether it was to guard against Outer Beings or prepare for the next world.

...

A couple of hours later, Vaan waited at the Dragon Vein entrance for the arrival of the next group of Celestial Dragons. AI Pangea had informed him beforehand. As such, he prepared to summon Valefor again.

However, just as he opened a spatial rift and extended his hand inside to grab Valefor, his hand froze.

Valefor, who had been drilling battle knowledge into Sir Mugim, was on top of the latter.

Moreover, Sir Mugim had been beaten so badly that most of his dragon scales shattered, becoming bare-chested. Due to their position from Vaan's angle, the sight looked rather suggestive.

When Valefor sensed Vaan's repulsive and disappointed gaze, he realized how it might have looked to the latter. He instantly felt a chill, and his skin crawled with goosebumps.

"Finally coming out of the closet, eh? So, this is why you took the Dragonoid man away."

"Wait, this is not what it looks like! I swear it is not!"

"Sure, if you say so."

Vaan did not argue with Valefor; he readily acknowledged Valefor's claim. However, his unconvinced expression as he said this showed that he thought otherwise.

As such, Valefor almost wanted to cough up blood in anger.

"I'm not fucking gay, alright?!"

"Don't worry. I completely understand."

"Arghhh—!!!"

Valefor roared madly with frustration, indignance, and even depression after failing to convince Vaan, who obviously knew the truth but just wanted to mess around with him.

Why did interacting with Vaan have to be infuriating every time?!

What did he do to deserve this?!
