The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 947: Celestial Human



Up in the sky, the blue-skinned divine being painfully clutched his right forearm as red blood with a hint of gold gushed out from the severed line that separated his right hand.

"Gahhh!! Insect-!!! Do you have any idea what you have done?!"

The blue-skinned divine man howled furiously ahead. After Vaan emerged from the split in space, he glared at him venomously.

He couldn't believe that he, a mighty Divine Origin realm expert, would have his hand severed so easily by one of the primitive land-dwellers. He didn't expect his invincible position would be threatened.

The growth of the primitive land-dwellers had seriously surprised him.

'The Ocean Master was right to send me out for investigation. These primitive land-dwellers have grown beyond our expectations in recent years,' the blue-skinned divine man thought. Although he needed to report the news back, he was also unwilling to leave just like that. How could he just leave after suffering an injury from a damn insect?

As the blue-skinned divine man glared at Vaan venomously, Vaan also looked back at him with indifference.

"Maybe you should have considered whose woman you were trying to grab before acting on it," Vaan coolly stated.

"Do you ask the roadside flowers for their opinion whenever you want to pick them?!" the blue-skinned divine man gnashed his teeth and said, "You have made a grave mistake by offending me, Vermin. You will not die a pretty death!"

"With your strength? Even if I stand still, you won't even be able to put a scratch on this body," Vaan confidently stated.

Ding!

Spirit Energy Cultivation Level: Second-stage Divine Origin realm (Heaven-Defying Path).n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Looking at the information on the blue-skinned man, Vaan didn't find it surprising that the hidden super civilization would have divine beings within its ranks.

After all, the super civilization was capable of building a spirit-gathering formation on a planetary scale, and it had been siphoning the world's spirit energy for an unimaginably long time.

If its people weren't even this strong, it would be far too disappointing.

Meanwhile, the blue-skinned celestial person called Hurgas tried to gauge Vaan's true strength.

Although Hurgas felt humiliated that a primitive land-dweller was able to hurt him, he also acknowledged that Vaan was possibly stronger than him. Even so, that didn't stop him from plotting his death to avenge himself and regain his honor as a proud celestial.

Being weaker didn't necessarily mean that he couldn't kill the primitive land-dweller.

There were many ways to kill a stronger person, including inviting even stronger allies to help and using divine-slaying poisons, among other things.

After Hurgas jabbed a few points on his right arm to stop the bleeding, he swallowed a green- color restorative pill before launching a water-type divine projectile at Vaan.

The attack consumed divine energy, which was refined from spirit energy. While it also had limited applications compared to mana, it also had more raw power. As such, it was also more powerful than a mana-powered spell of the same level.

Swish!

The fast-spinning water spear closed in on Vaan in no time.

However, it was still half-heartedly evaded by him before he retailiated with an attack of his own. The difference between them was too great for Hurgas to pose a threat to him. As such, most of his attention had been on Hurgas's regenerating hand.

The green-colored restorative pill seemed to be quite miraculous.

Puchi!

Blood sprayed as Hurgas's other hand got severed off by Vaan's half-hearted dimensional slash.

"Arghhh!!!" Hurgas howled in pain.

"What were you even hoping to achieve?" Vaan glanced at the Hurgas weirdly and said, "You know the difference in our power, and you still chose to attack me? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"

Hurgas gritted his teeth through the pain and glared at Vaan, "Enjoy your superior position while you still can. I may be weaker than you, but my celestial race is far more powerful than you can imagine!"

"I am not the only land investigator out on a mission this time, and I am definitely not the strongest!"

After saying this, Hurgas laughed, "Hehe! After using that last divine attack, my people will definitely come to check out the situation!"

"If you have the balls, I dare you to wait here for them to come!" Hurgas goaded. "Whether I have balls or not, I know it very well," Vaan casually glanced down at Hurgas and said, "On the other hand, yours probably shriveled and shrunk until it's no longer visible from all those years in the cold water."

Vaan suddenly made a horizontal swipe, and Hurgas found his world sliding despite staying still in the air. His head had been so cleanly severed that it slowly slid off.

By the time Hurgas registered the pain and realized what had happened, his vision was

already darkening.

He died with a look of disbelief.

Vaan intended to wait for the celestial race's reinforcements to arrive, but that didn't mean he needed to keep Hurgas alive until then. The person had already outlived his usefulness. Based on the person's attitude towards Astoria, Vaan had already understood one simple truth - The UN wouldn't be able to get along with the Celestial Kingdom.

Hurgas possessed a superiority complex and looked down on land-dwellers.

Although he might have been a rare exception, the Celestial race's overall attitude shouldn't

be too far from it. Since they didn't consider land-dwellers as their equal, they definitely wouldn't bother negotiating.

As such, once the Celestials found out about the mass production of spirit energy in space, they would most likely go to war with the UN to end it.

In the original timeline, Valefor had never made contact with the Celestials and spirit energy cultivation. The Celestials had never emerged, even after Pangea fully integrated with

Gehenna in the following hundreds of years.

However, this time, they had been baited out of their hiding due to him and Astoria.
