The Witch Hunter System - Chapter 976

Chapter 976: Prelude to War (2)



Great Ratholos Empire, Imperial Capital

"Lord Kemun, this is too abrupt. What do you mean the Celestial Kingdom will attack the UN in a few hours? Why are we suddenly getting attacked by these Celestials? Do you know how strong they are?"

"I don't have time to explain the details to you, Emperor Varan. Just know that the Celestial Kingdom will be the biggest we have ever faced, and you have to prepare for it immediately. Someone else will answer your doubts."

After delivering the message, Kemun immediately prepared to leave despite Emperor Varan's confusion.

"Where are you going now, Lord Kemun?"

"Since I am already here, I need to go seek help from the Evernight Territory. The vampires will be your country's best hope of resisting the Celestial Kingdom's eastern army."

Right after dropping that statement, Kemun immediately took off for the crimson-light zone connecting to Gehenna. The Evernight Territory's Valdigold City was just on the other side. "Halt! What is a Red Dragon like you doing here? Don't you know travel between the two realms is currently prohibited?" a vampiric guard quickly obstructed Kemun's path.

"I understand," Kemun acknowledged before saying, "However, this is an emergency. I must meet the Vampire Lords and request reinforcements to combat a great threat in Pangea."

As Kemun said this, he couldn't help but feel astonished after noticing the great changes in Valdigold City. Various large projects were ongoing in the city, and even a massive ship was found on the outskirts.

What was going on with Valdigold City?

"Do you think you can meet our Vampire Lords just because you want to? Who do you think you are?" the vampiric guard scoffed, crossing his arms disdainfully.

Kemun frowned before replying in a low tone, "Look, Buddy. I don't have time for this. I am Kemun, the Seventh Dragon Lord of the Red Dragon Clan. I directly serve the Supreme Leader, Lord Vaan."

"If you know what is good for you, you will stop delaying my business. Otherwise, if Lord Vaan's home fails to receive timely reinforcements because of you, you will be held accountable," Kemun strictly warned.

...

A short ten minutes later, Valefor found out about Pangea's situation from Kemun. When he did, Vaan, who was currently in the Southwestern Sea, also found out due to their spiritual connection.

However, Vaan did not rush back to the Black Rose Empire.

He didn't need to be there since he could just send Valefor there. After all, they were one and the same person. Valefor being there was the same as him being there.

If he wanted to, he could even take over control of Valefor's body.

Nevertheless, he had another role to play in the Boundless Sea. The Celestial Kingdom wouldn't be able to focus on attacking the UN if its own home was on fire. The Celestials wouldn't be able to ignore the sea monsters entering the Inner Sea.

In the Southwestern Outer Sea, Vaan spread out his Boundless Sea and Sky Aura.

Moments later, the black seawater stirred, and gargantuan kings and emperors of the deep sea arrived one after the other, each with their army of minions or kins. Despite their enormity, the rulers of the local sea region acknowledged Vaan and paid their respects as if he were above them.

'Summon your friends. Spread the word that I want the Celestial Kingdom's bases in the nine seas to be found and troubled,' Vaan willed.

The gargantuan kings and emperors of the deep sea seemingly acknowledged Vaan's command with their heads lowered. Shortly after, they dispersed in different directions with their forces.

"Master, the conflict between the Inner Sea and Outer Sea has been going on for years. So long as the Sea Warden's trident remains in the enemy's hands, the sea monster will soon forget your command when they enter the Inner Sea," the Temple Spirit reminded.

"Then, we will deal with the Ocean Master and reclaim the Sea Warden's trident first," Vaan coolly replied, adding, "The Celestial Kingdom has borrowed it for long enough. It's about time we take it back. What do you think?"

"I think so too, Master," the Temple Spirit answered, feeling excited alongside the Stone

Spirit.

They finally had the chance to recover the Sea Warden's trident and wash away their shame.
