The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 712 Taunts & Rage

Back in the imperial capital of the Great Ratholos Empire, death continued to ravage the streets and instill terror into every home. The surprise attack from Great Devil Abaddon's domain inflicted great casualties on the common populace, but only during the initial period.

After all, the Great Ratholos Empire was a nation of powerful warriors, and the imperial capital was the heart of the country. Every home had at least one Rank 3 Body Refiner. Dealing with Vampiric Demon Bats wasn't an issue for them.

Most of the casualties within the great city comprised untrained witches, women, and children below ten years of age.

The actual casualties of warriors were very few, and even then, they were mostly the results of getting swarmed by several hundred bats or acts of self-sacrifice to save their families.

However, the waves of Vampiric Demon Bats were only the first phase of attacks from Great Devil Abaddon's domain.

Vampiric Demon Bats were ranked at the very bottom of the vampire hierarchy. They were lesser creatures of darkness and the root of the vampire race, but that also made them the weakest within the group.

Without special circumstances, opportunities, or evolution, Vampiric Demon Bats would never grow beyond Rank 3, and most were generally between Rank 0 and Rank 1.

In Great Devil Abaddon's domain, these Vampiric Demon Bats were only considered cannon fodders – Scouts sent to sweep the imperial capital's trash and detect impure blood.

They were simply cleaners, doomed to die blood-testing for the higher-rank vampires who wished to avoid contracting blood diseases from the humans.

…

Ding!

Emperor Varan swung his treasured sword, the Rank 5 Blue Fang, down on Noble Vampire Kazamir with all his strength and body weight—only to be casually stopped by the nail tip on one of the latter's fingers.

At the same time, a small crack appeared on the Rank 5 Blue Fang, which was refined from the sharp teeth of a Rank 5 Mutant Shark.

"Is this the best shot you got, Emperor of the Humans?" Noble Vampire Kazamir asked uninterestedly with one arm behind his back.

"You're proving to be far too disappointing. If you can't even defeat me, the weakest of my group, your city is doomed to fall, Emperor of the Humans."

With that said, Noble Vampire Kazamir exerted some force into his finger and flung Emperor Varan several dozen meters away.

After Emperor Varan recovered to his feet and glanced at the damage on his Rank 5 Blue Fang, he snorted, "You underestimate my empire too much. There are others stronger than me!"

Bam!

Emperor Varan stomped the ground, catapulting himself toward Noble Vampire Kazamir. His body spun three times in mid-air as he gathered centrifugal force and momentum and compressed his aura simultaneously.

Aura Blast!

At the moment of contact between the blade of Emperor Varan's Rank 5 Blue Fang and Noble Vampire Kazamir's sharpened nails, the compressed aura erupted spontaneously.

In that instant, Noble Vampire Kazamir's already surprised expression became even more wonderful to behold.

The force of Emperor Varan's sword swing was already 20% stronger than the last attack. But the aura eruption instantly increased that number to 120% power!

Ka-cha!

Under the forceful attack, the cracks on Emperor Varan's Rank 5 Blue Fang became even more evident. At the same time, Noble Vampire Kazamir's five nails all shattered.

The Rank 5 Blue Fang continued its trajectory and cleanly sliced off half of Noble Vampire Kazamir's right hand, prompting him to retreat from Emperor Varan with a leap to draw some safe distance.

Nevertheless, Noble Vampire Kazamir didn't seem particularly concerned about his injury. Blood gushed out of his wound to retrieve his severed hand. Within moments, his severed hand was reconnected and healed.

"It seems I have underestimated you, Emperor of the Humans. However, you must also know that there are at least ninety-

nine stronger vampires than me," Noble Vampire Kazamir calmly spoke with elegance, but he was, in truth, boiling with rage inside.

He couldn't believe a mere human could harm his noble body and ruin his pretty nails. It was a disgrace to a member of the Blood Ancestor's Night Parade.

"I'll worry about that when the time comes. Right now, I only care about slaying you," Emperor Varan grinned and said, "And by the looks of it, I have a pretty good chance. You might be stronger than me, but you lack experience."

"Did you only train and learn how to posture with livestock back in your home?" Emperor Varan taunted audaciously.

His opponent was strong, but not to the point that they could block his attacks as casually as they appeared on the surface. The vampire definitely used a considerable amount of blood energy to strengthen his body.

"Audacious!" Noble Vampire Kazamir snapped as he could no longer hold back his anger, not after hearing the last line. "I treated you with respect, and yet, you dare spit on my face and insult me?!"

"You're just a mere human! Who allowed to act so insolent in front of this Noble One?!" Noble Vampire Kazamir howled furiously.

His blood energy seethed along with his emotion and overflowed outside his body, surging like raging tides; it caused the ground to shake and the air to tremble.

Emperor Varan had no doubt that Noble Vampire Kazamir's following attacks would be far too powerful for him to receive. In fact, if he wasn't careful, he might even die in a single strike.

However, Noble Vampire Kazamir's unstable state of mind also made his moves more predictable.

Emperor Varan couldn't beat Noble Vampire Kazamir in raw power, but that didn't mean Noble Vampire Kazamir was undefeatable. His body was still made of flesh and could still be cut with a sharp sword.

Emperor Varan believed he only needed a single opening to cut off Noble Vampire Kazamir's source of life and end his life.

"Hahaha! I am the great emperor of this human nation! Why can't I act boldly and unrestrained to those beneath me?! You can act high and mighty while you are still standing, but I'll be the one to make you kneel to this emperor!" Emperor Varan continued his taunts.

Noble Vampire Kazamir's gaze became frighteningly cold with sharp killing intent.

"You are… courting death!!"
