The Witch Hunter System
chapter-817

Although Vaan planned to move part of Pangea to the Darksea Abyss Territory, he was still far from achieving his goal.

Moving the black pillar already consumed thirty percent of his soul force.

He simply didn't have anywhere near enough soul force to move three empires over such a great distance to reach the Darksea Abyss Territory. It didn't seem possible even if he reached the peak of Rank 6 Divine Being.

Of course, he knew better than to make a plan that wouldn't work.

There was another way to move such huge lands to the Darksea Abyss Territory-By carrying them within his Heaven-Swallowing Space.

Naturally, the capacity of his Heaven-Swallowing Space was only comparable to a city at the moment. However, it could expand indefinitely if there was a constant supply of mana.

Even Vaan did not know how big his Heaven-Swallowing Space could grow; he only knew his cultivation didn't limit its growth.

"Since you have already thought it through, I won't try to dissuade you. However, I want to remind you of the dangers of the Darksea Abyss Territory; you mustn't underestimate them, Sir Vaan," Hecate reminded.

Vaan calmly nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Lady Hecate."

"Since that's out of the way, there's not much left for me to say. I will find you in the next few days to record your oath and put the Great Devils at ease. I will also use that chance to hand you a few things you might find useful, Sir Vaan," Hecate stated.

"Hand me a few useful things? By the sound of it, I am not following you back to your territory yet, Lady Hecate?" Vaan asked.

"Not yet, Sir Vaan," Hecate shook her head and said, "I'm afraid the Great Devils will get jumpy if they hear news of you setting foot into Gehenna before being reassured of your oath to become one of them."

"After I deliver the items and record your oath, I have to attend to other matters and won't be free for some time as well. That's why I cannot bring you back with me yet, Sir Vaan." "Furthermore, you haven't settled all your matters in Pangea yet, have you?" Hecate asked. "I'm afraid not. It may take up to several months, actually," Vaan admitted before commenting, "Though, I must confess the Great Devils are not how I imagine them to be." "While the Great Devils might seem high and mighty to most people of Pangea, they are, in fact, quite the scaredy cats," Hecate smiled.

"Since anyone in Chaos could die for no rhyme or reason, most beings tend to live cautiously. This is especially true the longer they live. That's why, while it might seem unfair to you, this is just how the Great Devils are."

"They didn't survive to this age by being the strongest. They became the strongest by surviving. Normally, they wouldn't tolerate anything that could threaten their existence. So, you should understand how much of a concession they are making to let you live."

"They are doing something different from their usual way of handling things—no doubt, thanks to my efforts in persuading them," Hecate claimed.

"And I am grateful for that, Lady Hecate," Vaan sincerely expressed.

Hecate nodded before mentioning, "On another topic, I trust my Dreamcatchers have been protecting you responsibly, Sir Vaan? You haven't been bullying them too much, have you?"

"Why do you assume that I would bully them, Lady Hecate? Am I such a bad character in your mind?" Vaan replied with a wry smile.

"That's hard to say... You do seem like a wolf in sheep's clothing, Sir Vaan," Hecate said playfully before sighing with exaggeration, "Since you claim to be innocent, I wonder what could have changed my Dreamcatchers in these past several days?"

"They used to be such honest and well-behaved children, crowding around me at every chance they got. But now, they are trying to get away from me as if they are feeling guilty over something."

"What kind of secrets are they trying to hide from me, I wonder?" Hecate uttered.

Considering it was Ninth Dream's spiritual world, her presence could be vaguely sensed in the

area.

However, after Hecate spoke, Ninth Dream's presence quickly disappeared.

"Do you see what I mean, Sir Vaan? Such a dishonest child," Hecate shook her head with a seemingly helpless yet playful look. "Surely, you must have some ideas regarding their change?"

"Well..." Vaan briefly glanced in a particular direction and smiled.

Although nothing seemed to be in that particular direction, Ninth Dream's spiritual avatar was actually hiding behind her cloak of invisibility in that direction. As such, Ninth Dream was greatly astonished when Vaan glanced in her direction.

'Was it just a coincidence?' Ninth Dream doubted.

However, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

"They might have been secretly peeking into other people's private affairs and picking up new knowledge about the naughty stuff that men and women do, Lady Hecate," Vaan said with amusement.

Boom!

Ninth Dream was immediately thunderstruck after she overheard Vaan's words. It was only now that she realized Vaan had been fully aware of her voyeurism.

She was so flustered she didn't know what to do.

She couldn't figure out how Vaan knew about her peeking and masturbation. However, she didn't want to think about it-she didn't dare to think about it.

Ninth Dream's cheeks quickly turned red-hot with embarrassment and shame.

'What do I do? Sir Vaan actually knows about my secret deeds, and now, Lady Hecate knows about it, too. How can I ever face them in the future? How can I ever show my face again?' Ninth Dream lamented with regret.

The consequences of having her secret exposed were unimaginable.

'How on earth did Sir Vaan know about my peeking? Could he actually see through my invisibility spell? If that was true, then... wouldn't that mean he has also seen me...'

Ninth Dream became even more flustered as her thoughts traveled along those lines. She didn't dare to finish her train of thought.
