The Witch Hunter System

"Grandmother, you don't need to get involved in my love affairs. I already have many women. As such, you don't need to be anxious to hold your grandchildren. I'm afraid you don't have enough arms to hold them all in the future," Vaan calmly replied.

Victoria was immediately astonished by Vaan's claim. Given how amazing and capable he was, she knew he would have multiple women.

However, how many women did he exactly have to make that claim with such confidence?

"This… Who else is your woman, Grandson?" Victoria couldn't help but ask.

It was already a slim chance to hook her grandson up with Henrietta since he already had multiple women. However, that slim chance could turn into impossible if he had too many.

"Hm, let me see…" Vaan briefly paused before mentioning, "There are the two princesses of the Delarosa Marquisdom, Linetta and Lillias. There is also Aeliana's mother, Solana, who lives in Sunpeak City, and Dahlia and Hester from Redpine City."

"Oh, you should have already seen Astoria, who is now the Holy Empress of the Holy Knight Empire. And there's also Henrietta, who you came with. So far, she's my official wife," Vaan casually stated.

Victoria's mind blanked for a moment before she asked, "Can you repeat that last part, my dear grandson?"

"You mean Henrietta, my official wife? We wedded fairly recently, if I may add. Surely, you know her," Vaan said.

"Oh, I know her, alright. I know her all too well," Victoria replied with an unfathomable and thoughtful look. Soon, her shoulders trembled as she started chuckling, "Kukuku. So, it was like that…"

"Hennie, oh, Hennie… How could you hide such important information from me, his maternal grandmother?" Victoria uttered to herself with a sly and amusing look.

She had been wracking her head, thinking of ways to bring them together. But as it turned out, the two were actually married already! She never needed to do anything. The problem was already solved.

She just didn't know—all because someone didn't tell her.

But why didn't Henrietta tell her about it?

Well, it wasn't hard to guess her reason. She could imagine what Henrietta thought and felt when she realized their relationship.

Henrietta was just too embarrassed and ashamed to tell her.

'How should I use this information to my advantage? It looks like Henrietta and I are going to need to talk! Hehehe, how amusing! How fascinating! How great! I'm definitely going to have fun with you! How dare you hide this matter from me?'

Victoria couldn't stop giggling as she imagined various ways to tease Henrietta and see her embarrassed state.

She could have made a fool of herself if her grandson had not told her.

…

Meanwhile, Henrietta suddenly felt a cold shiver while she was fighting on the battlefield, causing her skin to be crawling with goosebumps.

Although she didn't know how she could get cold shivers while covered in flames, she didn't get a good feeling about it.

'Is my danger sense ticking off? The demons must be plotting something dangerous!' Henrietta thought as she increased her killing power.

Boom!

Jet-black flames smothered the land, vaporizing countless vampires caught in its sweep.

Henrietta's black fire became the vampires' nightmare as they trembled in fear before its destructive might. In front of a Transcendent Witch with Demigod-level combat power, there wasn't anything the vampire army could do to resist.

They needed someone stronger to face her!

However, not a single member of the Night Parade came forward. None of them wanted to leave the crimson light domain and suffer a reduction in their power.

Although they didn't fear Henrietta like the rest of the vampire army, they feared Vaan. In their minds, facing Vaan was the same as facing Thanatos, and there was nothing more dreadful than fighting Thanatos in Gehenna.

"Dammit! How can there be so many strong humans and dragons? The weakened suppression should have made this war easier than three hundred years ago! But its actually harder!" Melchior cursed, biting his lips with a nasty look.

The stress of being pushed toward death twisted his mind, turning him into a true devil. He couldn't stop thinking of ways to torture humans and dragons for putting him through this situation!

They all deserved eternal damnation! Die, die, die! Just die! They should all die!

Madness filled Melchior's eyes.

He was prepared to give a destructive order when a powerful, ancient voice sounded behind him, "What's going on here? It looks like you are having a hard time facing the humans… and dragons, huh? Should I lend a hand?"

ancient voice sounded behind him, "What's going on here? It looks like you are having a hard time facing the humans… and Melchior immediately turned to look before his twisted expression transformed into surprise and shock.

"E-Eighth Progenitor! Why are you here?" Melchior exclaimed, his eyes widening with more surprises as he sensed the Eighth Progenitor's power.

It had only been a few hours since Edwin Luther awakened from his long slumber.

However, his power had already risen to the third stage of the Divine Blood Realm after paying a short visit to the Luther family. He didn't just retrieve his divine blood; he even absorbed the Blood Ancestor's divine blood found in his traitorous descendants.

Although doing so would put him under the Blood Ancestor's control due to the latter having superior cultivation, it didn't matter to him as long as he could drink to his heart's content in the human world.

"Why can't I be here?" Edwin Luther nonchalantly glanced at Melchior and said, "You can be here, but I can't? Is there a rule that states you have the first bid on all the blood here?"

"N-No, of course not!" Melchior replied nervously, but his heart was surging with joy, knowing a Vampire Lord would join the war much earlier than expected. "However, you have to be careful, Eighth Progenitor!"

"Your power will be suppressed by a level if you leave the domain!" Melchior reminded him out of consideration.

However, it only earned him the Eighth Progenitor's contempt.

"Hmph!" Edwin Luther snorted before barking, "Even if my cultivation drops back down to the second stage of the Divine Blood Realm, do you think anyone below the Divine Rank can threaten me?! Are you looking down on this Lord?!"

"I wouldn't dare, Lord Edwin!" Melchior cowered.

"That's what I thought! Hmph! I feel insulted that such a timid vampire like you is also in the Divine Blood Realm like me," Edwin Luther spat before saying, "Watch and learn how this Lord does things!"

Shortly after, Edwin Luther transformed into a shadow of bats, shrieking piercingly as he flew out of the crimson light domain.

He headed straight to the dragons in the sky with gleaming blood lust.
