The Witch Hunter System
chapter-666

'Who just said that?'

Wild gazes darted around in the hidden skies above the Black Mountain as Chaezi, Kuvat, and the other confused dragon elites tried to locate the source of the last voice.

Although everyone had thought out loud, the last thought had truly shocked and surprised them all.

Even Vaan's fortified mind was shaken by the earth-shaking thought.

If it had been a normal person in his shoes, such thoughts directed at them wouldn't just be a ripple in the lake; it would be a whole damn tsunami drowning them – They would choke on their own spit.

Forget whether copulation between a human and a true dragon was possible; it would already be fortunate if the male human didn't get swallowed whole by the female dragon's cave.

A few moments later, several questioning gazes fell on Fraegar, causing the latter to feel embarrassed.

'Hey, don't look at me like that. It's not like I said anything weird, right…?' Fraegar defended herself.

'You don't think so?' Chaezi felt exasperated before she suddenly blinked with enlightenment. 'No… You might be right. The Supreme Leader possesses the Fire Dragon God's purest blood essence and soul energy.'

'It only makes sense that we, with the best talents in the clan, serve the Supreme Leader to maintain the Fire Dragon God's strong bloodline in the clan,' Chaezi thought seriously.

The offspring produced from their copulation with the Supreme Leader would definitely possess the strongest dragon bloodline in the history of the Red Dragon Clan.

'Hey… Aren't you forgetting something? To do that, we must first consider whether it is even possible. Do you think it is even possible?' Verun asked pessimistically.

Verun admired their devotion to the clan and the Supreme Leader, but he felt they were delusional in their idea.

However, Kuvat suddenly interjected after careful consideration, 'Actually… It's not impossible for us dragons to adopt human forms and potential while retaining our dragon bloodline and talents…'

'However, it won't be as easy as the time when our clan still lived in Chaos. Back then, any dragon could adopt a human form with Transfiguration Magic upon reaching Rank 6. But now?'

'We'll probably need at least a Divine Stone of Humanity and a Rank 5 or higher quality beast core from a Thousand-Face Chameleon, among other simpler supplementary ingredients, to refine the Divine Human Pill,' Kuvat figured.

'The Divine Human Pill… I think I've heard of this divine pill before… Oh! I remember now!' Fraegar suddenly exclaimed with excitement.

'What is this Divine Human Pill?' Chaezi inquired.

'The Divine Human Pill is a miraculous pill that can grant any race the ability to shapeshift into a human form and freely change between the two,' Fraegar explained energetically before suddenly becoming dispirited, 'However… This Divine Human Pill is so popular throughout Chaos that the Divine Stone of Humanity and Thousand-Face Chameleons have become exceedingly rare.'

'Even if they were found and auctioned to others, their prices would be astronomical. It's not something we can afford,' Fraegar sighed.

Somehow, the young dragon elites ended up engaging in a full-blown serious discussion about human-dragon copulation and how to make it possible.

As Vaan quietly listened, he learned more about Chaos and the humans' situation there.

Since the Lord of Chaos Albion was human, it went without saying that the humans' situation in Chaos wouldn't be bad. After all, humans were one of the ruling races of Chaos.

However, humanity was both the strongest and the weakest race. Even among the countless human factions in Chaos, there were powerful and weak ones.

Still, one thing that all of Chaos couldn't deny was that the human growth potential was limitless.

Humans were born weak and seemingly without any distinctively strong traits. They were like a blank slate with nothing at birth. But it was also precisely because of this that humans were the most malleable and easy to change.

Because they were born with nothing, they could become anything.

That was the human potential, something every race in Chaos wanted, and the Divine Human Pill was developed for the sole purpose of acquiring it.

Everyone wanted to become like the Lord of Chaos, a being at the pinnacle of existence.

…

Nevertheless, it was clear that acquiring human forms was something distant for Fraegar and the others.

It was fine if they somehow pulled it off; Vaan wouldn't reject their advances in that case. But until then, he had no intention of exploring any dragon cave. He didn't want to develop claustrophobia from the experience.

'That's enough,' Vaan cut the dragon elites' discussion short before solemnly reminding, 'Kuvat, you have yet to finish your report. What big discovery did you find?'

'My deepest apologies, Supreme Leader,' Kuvat made no excuse for his mistake and quickly turned grave with Vaan's reminder as he replied, 'I found out a weird, large-scale hex magic had been cast on the whole imperial capital.'

'Oh?' Vaan's mental tone turned serious before he asked, 'I suppose you haven't found out what it does yet?'

'Unfortunately not, Supreme Leader,' Kuvat replied regretfully before adding, 'However, I have a very terrible feeling about it – as if something extremely bad will happen if we allow it to serve its purpose.'

'I see…' Vaan wasn't surprised by Kuvat's answer.

After all, they knew too little about hex magic.

Shortly after, Vaan fell into deep contemplation as he recalled every piece of information to determine the purpose of the weird hex magic.

Large-scale hex magic… Big enough to cover the whole imperial capital… The rising flames of conflict being fanned… Numerous deaths… Blood?!

Vaan's mind was suddenly shaken.

'Quickly check the main areas of conflict! See if there are any changes to the quantity of blood being spilled in those areas!' Vaan immediately ordered every dragon elite.

Blood sacrifice!

Kuvat quickly thought of the possibility, and his expression instantly turned paled in horror.

In fact, Kuvat had also thought of the possibility and checked the quantity of blood earlier. However, he didn't find any changes to the spilled blood throughout the imperial capital.

That said, since even the Supreme Leader suspected it, then the hex magic must truly be the type that required a blood sacrifice!

But what kind of blood-sacrificing magic required it to be on such a large scale?! What was its purpose!?

Kuvat didn't dare to imagine the consequences.
