The Witch Hunter System
chapter-762

Abaddon heard that the human Soul Master was a Peak Demigod. Thus, when he saw Vaan, he was already 90% certain he was the human Soul Master mentioned to him.

The 10% doubt was due to Vaan's Celestial Dragonwolf form.

Nevertheless, before Vaan was given a chance to respond, he was immediately bombarded with blood and dark spears, each targeting every inch of his body.

In a mere instant, Vaan's body was skewered into a porcupine-like state by hundreds of blood and dark spears.

However, Abaddon didn't feel the slightest relief from killing Vaan as he sensed his attacks meeting little resistance. It didn't feel right, given Vaan's fleshly defense must be far tougher than ordinary human flesh. In fact, it felt like stabbing the surface of a water body.

It didn't take long before he got his answer.

The porcupine-like Vaan deformed, losing resemblance to a living being as it turned into a large puddle of clear water on the ground.

The skewered body had not been Vaan's true self but merely his projection on a body of water. However, the level of attention to detail made his water projection look no different from being his true self.

After all, the water projection wasn't just shown from one side but from all sides and angles, and it had fluid movements matching his own.

It could have been considered a water clone if not for its lack of combat power. As such, it was only a water mimic at best.

Nevertheless, it was still good enough to trick Abaddon.

Even Abaddon did not feel good about attacking a fake body. It immediately reminded him of his frustrating battle with Hecate.

"Another trickster, huh?" Abaddon uttered gloomily.

However, just as he said that, multiple spatial rifts opened before more bodies of Vaan stepped out. Moreover, they all gave him smug, contemptuous looks like they were looking at a fool.

A large vein immediately protruded on the corner of Abaddon's face.

Even though Abaddon knew they were most likely all fake, he could not stand such blatant disrespect and insolence in front of him.

How dare they look down on him?

Pip, pip, pip!

Abaddon casually struck down every copy with a blood spear through each head.

However, the blood spear only briefly deformed the body of water before it reformed Vaan's image. At the same time, the blood spears disappeared into the space rift behind them.

For their destinations…

Puchi!

"Arghh!"

Abaddon suddenly yelped in pain, finding several dozen blood spears impaled in his back. His blood immediately boiled with anger, knowing he had struck himself.

"You cunning little rat… I'll kill you!! Show yourself!" Abaddon roared furiously.

Another three dozen copies of Vaan emerged from newly formed space rifts before they lunged at Abaddon, surprising him. He didn't expect them to move on the offense.

They weren't the same copies as the ones made from Hecate's illusory power. Upon further study, they didn't seem as real and lacked attacking power.

Since they lack attack power, moving on the offense was pointless… unless the real one was hidden among them!

Abaddon immediately narrowed his eyes and singled out a copy that seemed different. He swiftly grabbed it single-mindedly as it came at him, ignoring the rest.

At the same time, Vaan seemed to have sensed the danger as he halted his advancement to retreat.

However, he reacted too slowly and fell into Abaddon's grasp.

Although Abaddon felt his hand passing through a thin layer of water, he also came in contact with solid clothes right after.

"I got you now, you little bastard!" Abaddon roared heartily, giving a hard pull.

However, in that exact instant, he also felt an equal tugging force on his back, pulling him away.

Abaddon's eyes instantly widened in surprise. He realized his hand had passed through an inconspicuous pocket-size spatial portal and grabbed himself. At the same time, Vaan gave him a disdainful look before deforming into a puddle of water.

Abaddon thought he had caught Vaan's true body, but it was just another water copy that looked a little more real than the rest!

He was fooled again!

Nevertheless, Abaddon didn't have time to be angry. He felt some slight threat coming from the rest of the three dozen copies as they lunged at him with different attacks – Some manipulated fireballs, some controlled wind blades, and some fired water bullets.

The copies might be fake, but the power of laws was very real!

Unfortunately, such a pitiful amount of law power was far from enough for Abaddon to take seriously—at least, that was what he wanted to believe.

However, the slight sense of threat he felt couldn't be wrong.

As such, Abaddon immediately covered himself in a blood field, protecting his body from all angles.

Rumble…!

Several dozen attacks quickly bombarded the blood field.

Whether they were fireballs, wind blades, or water bullets, they all dissipated after striking the blood field. Such was a natural result, according to Abaddon's expectation.

However, his eyes once again widened in surprise, discovering dozens of tiny holes in his blood field.

Some unknown power was actually corroding his blood field!

It took Abaddon a moment before associating it with the Death Law. Only the Death Law could be so silent and subtle yet deadly effective against his Blood Law!

After Abaddon reinforced his blood field, the growing holes became negligible. They couldn't reach him.

Ultimately, there was too big of a difference in the power level between Abaddon and Vaan.

Even so, if Abaddon had been a little more careless and underestimating of Vaan, he might have been slightly harmed. If that happened, it would have been a colossal joke, a stain Abaddon could never wipe clean.

How could a Peak Demigod hurt a Peak Rank 6 Divine Being?

Nevertheless, Abaddon had to admit Vaan was extremely talented. He was so young yet already so skillful with so many laws—just what to expect of a Soul Master!

Truly a person too dangerous to be left alive.

"Enough!" Abaddon roared, eyes glimmering with intense crimson light.

Asura Domain!

The surrounding space suddenly turned dark, crimson, and heavy with killing intent and blood lust. The atmosphere felt so suffocating that even the other laws were suppressed.

As such, Vaan failed to maintain his power of laws within the affected area, and all his copies shattered at once.

'So this is the Asura Law? Truly overbearing,' Vaan smacked his lips.
