The Witch Hunter System
chapter-695

Although Galen's power of darkness was strong, it wasn't enough to blot out the sky. In the end, it failed to cover the whole Blood Slaughter Domain due to the suppression of light.

Light and darkness canceled each other out, but the darkness was still slightly stronger. Thus, the light spells from Fraegar's group failed to reach Galen.

Nevertheless, with Galen's power of darkness reduced to half its effect, his big hiding ground was also reduced to half. Although the others still didn't know where he hid, they knew he was somewhere in the other half of the domain, which was still covered in darkness.

"Your Majesty, should we also make our move?" Commander Jhoru inquired.

However, Emperor Varan shook his head, saying, "No, we will only get in the way. This is a battle of magic. Forcefully joining this sort of high-level battle will only result in unnecessary casualties."

"We will focus on the Delarosas. Apprehend those who surrender and kill those who resist, then have the regular soldiers bring them out of this killing field. We will also retreat once that is done."

"As it stands, we will become that Old Demon's blood supply if we stay," Emperor Varan stated.

"You're absolutely right, Your Majesty!" Commander Jhoru furiously nodded, adding, "While we might still be able to help, the rest of our men won't be. Not only will they not contribute, but they will even help the Old Demon."

"I will mobilize the troops right now!" Commander Jhoru shortly followed up on Emperor Varan's instructions.

…

Meanwhile, Kuvat took the chance given to him by his fellow peers to absorb the Divine-rank Stalactite Milk given to him by the Supreme Leader.

"Kuvat, heed my words – a True Dragon's physique is far different from a Human's physique; it is physically superior and much larger. However, this is both a blessing and a curse. While you enjoy superior talents, the resources you require to advance your physique are also thirtyfold that of a human's."

"What I will give you now is enough to advance your physique to the next level. However, it is of a different element to your nature of fire. I must also add that this Divine-rank Stalactite Milk is extremely precious in terms of quality and quantity. You can easily trade it for any type and quality of precious resource you desire."

"However, I must also remind you that this type of resource is also one of its kind. Whether you choose to take it or not is completely up to you."

Kuvat recalled the Supreme Leader's words as the Divine-rank Stalactite Milk fell from a spatial portal and into his possession.

'Whether I continue pursuing the sole path of fire or walk a different path, the choice is mine – This was the Supreme Leader's message for me. However, I do not need to make a choice, for destiny has already chosen for me!'

After Kuvat decisively swallowed the Divine-rank Stalactite Milk, he experienced the potency of the miraculous water remolding his fire-attribute physique, changing it into one that was also closer to the earth.

The earth rapidly strengthened him as the rich energy within the Divine-rank Stalactite Milk erupted, coursing through every part of Kuvat's body.

The earthly energy of the Divine-rank Stactite Milk wasn't violent in nature. But given its sheer quantity, even thirty Transcendent Humans would have imploded from energy overload.

However, Kuvat's robust body was able to withstand it, not a bit more and not a bit less; it was just the right amount required. As Kuvat's physique upgraded to Middle-stage Transcendent rank, he also acquired the dual physique of earth and fire.

'Right now, I am the foremost talent in my generation!' Kuvat's eyes glowed with endless confidence due to his advancement.

Unable to contain his excitement and joy, he immediately let out a mighty dragon roar.

Roar—!!!

"Thank you for protecting me, everyone. I have succeeded! Leave the rest to me!" Kuvat announced as his draconic aura erupted with grandeur.

At the same time, Galen glanced in his direction with shock and disbelief.

He knew the dragons were up to something, but he didn't expect one of them to achieve such a startling transformation in such a short time.

After all, unless one relied on special means, such as accepting the divine powers of the Great Devils, it was extremely difficult for Transcendents to advance with each step. And yet, one of the dragons actually possessed something that special!

"What the hell did you just take?! How did you raise your power so much in such a short time?!" Galen barked with unease.

He felt like he no longer had everything under control after Kuvat's power grew to a level that could rival his.

"Are you nervous, Old Demon?" Kuvat grinned before boasting, "Hehe, this is the gift granted to me by our god!"

'Our god!' Galen noted with great emphasis.

Only Divine Beings were worthy of being called gods. The Great Devils were such beings, but most people wouldn't call them gods, especially not the dragons. The Red Dragon Clan only had one god.

"The Dragon God?! How is that old thing not dead yet!?" Galen panicked with alarm before abruptly smiling with frightening calmness and cruelty, spitting, "Is that what you think I would say?! Even if your god intervenes now, it's already too late!"

"My Master's plans have been set in motion for two hundred years! A small setback will not change the final result! Pangea has been far too quiet! You all have grown complacent with the peace you enjoyed and forgot the terror of three hundred years ago!"

"Fret not! We will bring back the terror of those days! Darkness will descend on these lands, and the world will know fear once more! Let us welcome His Greatness and his people together!" Galen declared with feverish valor and excitement.

Kuvat and the others suddenly paled as they heard Galen's declaration.

Galen could be a mad demon, but they couldn't simply pass his words off as the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic.

"You… Old Demon, what the hell are you trying to do?!!" Emperor Varan roared at the top of his lungs before quickly urging, "No, we must kill him right away!"

"Hahaha! It's too late, you fools! I was only serving as the distraction!" Galen laughed with insanity.

He valued his life so much.

So, why in the hell would he bother risking his life by expending all his efforts in a battle with unclear results?!
