The Witch Hunter System

Asura Law…

The publicly undisputed ultimate fighting law in Chaos – Not only could it enhance the user's combat prowess, but it also suppressed all other laws.

Nevertheless, this Origin Law was also like a double-edged sword.

When Abaddon summoned the Asura Domain, Vaan immediately felt his accumulated malice and sins. It was like countless billions of tormented souls had been shackled to it, screaming for freedom and release.

However, Abaddon would never grant them such wishes; the more he killed, the stronger he grew,

A normal person would have succumbed to their guilt and sins, but not Abaddon.

"Come out, Soul Master! If you don't come out, I will start killing everyone dear to you! I will wipe out entire countries and slaughter every last human if that is what it takes to find you!" Abaddon threatened.

Crackle…!

Moments later, a space rift split open in the air before Vaan emerged. His appearance was immediately met with another one of Abaddon's fatal blood spears.

However, Vaan's body also burst into another puddle of water.

Given Abaddon's blatant malice and killing intent directed at him, Vaan knew there weren't any chances of talking or reasoning. The other party would kill as soon as they were given the opportunity.

As such, he also wouldn't foolishly hand himself out on a silver platter.

Nevertheless, Abaddon's gloominess intensified.

Having fallen for Vaan's tricks multiple times, Abaddon already knew Vaan wasn't easy to catch despite possessing the overwhelming power to destroy him.

Abaddon would only be chasing shadows unless Vaan decided to fight him head-on.

"Of course, a little rat like you wouldn't dare to come out and face me. However, you have also exposed your weakness," Abaddon coldly stated with disdain.

"You are buying time to protect these humans. Perhaps some of them are even important to you. I wonder if you will continue to hide away when I am killing every last one of them—!"

Abaddon was about to depart for the densest group of humans when a large spatial portal opened, followed by Vaan's cold laughter on the other side.

"Hahaha! I expect no less from a devil. Even with absolute strength, you resort to underhanded means to force out a mere Demigod. I wonder if you feel proud of yourself? The other Great Devils must be looking down on you, hahaha!"

"Since you are so pathetic, I will give you a chance to find me. I am on the other side of this portal. If you enter, you will likely find me. But then again, you are too much of a disappointment for a Great Devil. I doubt you dare."

Abaddon's fury and gloominess continued to intensify even further. However, he took a moment to study the large spatial portal in the sky.

A boundless sea of stars and a lone white moon could be seen on the other side. Evidently, it had to be somewhere in outer space.

After knowing that, Abaddon concluded it was a trap.

Although the cruel environment of the void wouldn't be able to harm him, it would still be a great inconvenience if he was sent far away and allowed the humans to buy more time.

"Kekeke, do you think I am a fool? You are just trying to trick me and buy more time. If so, why would I fall for it? I prefer to kill humans to force you out," Abaddon chuckled sinisterly.

"Hehehe, if only doing so would actually force me out," Vaan calmly replied from the other side of the portal.

"Abaddon, you say you are not a fool, but you have already fallen for multiple of my tricks. Between us, you are definitely the fool, not me. And since I am not a fool, what makes you confident that I would come out to stop you from killing other humans?"

"It is true that they are my weaknesses, but what good will it do for me to come out? I don't have the power to stop you. Since I am powerless to change that, why would I risk my life doing something pointless? Do you think someone intelligent and vengeful like me will do that?"

"I'll tell you what – I can't protect them now, but I can definitely kill you in the future, Abaddon! I have already given you a chance. It's up to you whether to take it!" Vaan coldly stated.

Abaddon coldly snorted, unable to retort.

Shortly after, Abaddon stubbornly dashed toward the dense human group in the distance. But at the same time, Vaan's large portal started shrinking.

In that short instant, Abaddon's expression changed. He immediately changed his mind and turned around, diving straight through the closing portal with impeccable timing.

The portal disappeared along with all traces of Abaddon and Vaan.

…

Abaddon found himself floating in the void with a beautiful white moon ahead. However, he didn't have the heart to enjoy its pretty sight as gloom shrouded his heart.

Killing humans was something he could do anytime.

On the other hand, if he let the Soul Master escape, his days would be numbered. Furthermore, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully during those days.

As such, he had no choice but to chase the Demigod Human, knowing he was walking into a trap.

"Little rat, where are you hiding?! You better not have tricked me again!" Abaddon bellowed.

Despite the vacuum of space having nothing to carry sound, Abaddon's empowered voice still traveled far and wide through the void.

It was seemingly backed by the power of law.

Nevertheless, Abaddon's calling was quickly greeted with a flame arrow zooming in from several tens of thousand meters away.

Although the flame arrow carried the destructive force to annihilate any Peak Demigod, such pitiful power was nothing in front of Abaddon.

Pish!

With a cold snort, Abaddon casually slapped the flame arrow away like he was shooing away flies.

Afterward, he immediately flew toward the starting point of the flame arrow's appearance, which came from around the moon.

"Is this where you want to play? You are more foolish than I thought. True, this place is the domain of space. However, it is also the domain of darkness!"

Abaddon quickly shot around the moon to see where Vaan was hiding.

However, what awaited him was an enormous dark hole on the surface of the moon. As for Vaan, he was nowhere to be seen.

Rumble…!

'Something is coming!'

Abaddon's gaze immediately turned serious, sensing something emerging from the moon's abyss.
