The Witch Hunter System
chapter-748

If all Vampire Lords feared Soul Masters so much, Vaan found it hard to believe they could threaten him. Furthermore, they were still manageable around this level of power.

However, if he had to face an even stronger Vampire Lord, the situation could turn out differently. Not to mention, there was still the Great Devil Abaddon to worry about. There was truly too big of a power gap between them.

'A weak Vampire Lord would fear me because they cannot defeat me, but a strong Vampire Lord would destroy me to end my growth…' Vaan's gaze sharpened.

'Humans and vampires are already warring with each other. An irreversible feud has been established between our races. Given how big the Vampire Lords reacted to me being a potential Soul Master, Great Devil Abaddon will hunt me down with everything he has if he comes to learn of it…'

'It seems Great Devil Abaddon is truly my tribulation,' Vaan frowned.

Since that was the case, he naturally couldn't let the vampires report any news to their Blood Ancestor, even if he needed to take drastic measures.

…

Shortly after the Fifth Progenitor made his second attempt to escape, the Eighth Progenitor didn't dare to stay. After all, if the Fifth Progenitor were gone, the Eighth Progenitor would become Vaan's main target.

"Didn't I say to stay?" Vaan's gaze turned serious.

He immediately jumped in front of the Fifth Progenitor with a single step, instantly creating dozens of moving space cracks to entrap him.

The Fifth Progenitor managed to evade the relentless pursuit of Vaan's space cracks for several breaths before he was caught in their encirclement like a cornered king in a game of chess.

There was nowhere for the Fifth Progenitor to run.

The Fifth Progenitor was eventually swallowed by one space crack and found himself in an independent subspace cut off from the rest of the world. Two minutes later, the Eighth Progenitor also joined him.

"Where are we, Lord Demetrius?" the Eighth Progenitor quickly asked.

The Fifth Progenitor frowned, taking a moment to observe the empty void filled with darkness.

If not for the absence of stars and other celestial bodies, the dark void could have been mistaken for a place in the sea of stars. Even so, it was no different from one; it was also a cold, dark void, merciless to life.

However, the Fifth Progenitor and Eighth Progenitor were both Divine Beings in the Divine Blood Realm. Their vampiric bodies were powered and sustained by blood energy.

As such, they wouldn't be suffocated by the absence of air in the short term.

"This seems to be an independent subspace created by the Demigod Human… Although it looks boundless at a glance, its space is actually limited. There's an invisible wall containing us," the Fifth Progenitor analyzed.

"Oh? In that case, we only need to shatter this wall to break out of this spatial containment."

The Eighth Progenitor quickly understood.

"I don't believe a Peak Demigod's Spatial Law is stronger than my attainments in the Shadow Law!" – was what the Eighth Progenitor disdainfully believed.

However, after he found the boundary of the subspace and assaulted its wall with his strongest shadow attack, the subspace remained stable and firm.

His attack did not change anything.

It was as if the shadow attack was thrown into a bottomless abyss, devoured without a trace.

"W-What?! That's impossible!" the Eighth Progenitor exclaimed with surprise and disbelief.

His physical abilities may have been lowered, but his shadow power was still at the second stage of the divine rank. His shadow attack should have been more than powerful enough to shatter the space power of a Peak Demigod.

However, the reality was quite different from his expectations!

At the same time, the Fifth Progenitor's crimson eyes narrowed before he uttered, "Sure enough, a Soul Master's perception cannot be measured by normal standards."

"I'm afraid this human's comprehension of the Spatial Law is no weaker than the second stage of the divine rank. Furthermore, his mastery and control of space is unlike anything I have ever seen."

"Perhaps even the law power of a Third-stage Divine Being will not be able to shatter this spatial cage," the Fifth Progenitor guessed.

"You're telling me that even if this world's laws didn't suppress our powers by a level, we still wouldn't be able to escape? That is ridiculous!" the Eighth Progenitor spat with a heavy expression.

"A Peak Demigod with space power on par with Third-stage Divine Beings… This kind of talent is truly heaven-defying and unprecedented. Gehenna has never produced this level of talent in his entire course of history…"

"Well, Gehenna is only a single realm within a sea of countless realms that exist throughout the boundless Chaos. What we perceive as unprecedented could, in fact, be common in our Eternal Darkheaven Sector," the Fifth Progenitor casually mentioned as he continued studying the subspace for a weak spot or opening.

However, after a moment, he suddenly paused.

"Dammit, my mind mustn't be functioning properly after such a long slumber. I can't believe I forgot something so crucial!" the Fifth Progenitor exclaimed, smacking his head.

"What did you remember, Lord Demetrius?" the Eighth Progenitor asked.

"No matter how high the human's comprehension of the Spatial Law is, he is still a Peak Demigod!" the Fifth Progenitor reminded, adding, "His soul power is still less than us. If we keep blasting this wall with our power, we will deplete his mental energy and cancel this spatial cage!"

Just as the Fifth Progenitor prepared to barrage the space wall with his law power, Vaan's voice sounded in the dark subspace, "If I truly wanted to kill you, you'd both be dead already. Do you believe it?"

The Fifth Progenitor immediately frowned, preparing to retort with disdain.

However, the Eighth Progenitor responded faster as he fearfully answered, "I do! I definitely believe it!"

"Lord Edwin, you…"

The Fifth Progenitor glanced at the Eighth Progenitor in astonishment and confusion, not expecting him to be more fearful of his life than him.

However, such a low-level threat shouldn't have triggered such a strong reaction.

Nevertheless, the Eighth Progenitor saw what the Fifth Progenitor was thinking. He quickly explained, "I already told you not to underestimate this human. The Law of Space isn't the only law he comprehended."

"He has another law power than is, in my opinion, even more terrifying than his spatial power. In fact, it reminds me of Thanatos's Death Law," the Eighth Progenitor mentioned.

The Fifth Progenitor immediately felt weak at the mention of Thanatos's Death Law. That just proved how dreadful of an existence the Supreme Great Devil was to them.

"It's not impossible to let you both live. Shall we negotiate?" Vaan's offer sounded.
