The Witch Hunter System

With the Rank 2 Unicorn Horn Spear in hand, Vaan quickly felled a few dozen goblins in a quick burst of stabs that formed afterimages.

The Rank 2 Unicorn Horn Spear did not seem impressive when he used it during the day. But inside the pocket realm, which was much darker without a speck of sunlight, the spear’s special trait was revealed as its spearhead glowed with a soft white light.

Although it didn’t have much effect on the entire goblin horde, the Rank 2 Unicorn Horn slightly suppressed the Rank 1 enhanced goblins in his vicinity.

It invoked their fear of white and light-attribute objects.

Nevertheless, the goblin’s natural fear of white and light-attribute objects was common knowledge. It could be seen from the equipment of the Aura Grandmasters, multiple Aura Masters, and Senior Witchs.

They had all worn some white clothing or used white steel weapons.

Even so, their equipment had little effect on the stronger Rank 2 enhanced goblins and above.

Evidently, the goblins’ body transmutation with other creatures had helped them build resistance and overcome their natural fear of white light.

That said, Vaan quickly made himself known with his terrifying killing speed and the fact that he carried a person on his back.

Rank 2 enhanced goblins and below were just cannon fodders. The wolf-men and Rank 3 enhanced goblins posed the biggest threat to Lord Helia and the others.

“That person is… Van Helsing! I recognize him. He made quite the entrance in the competition for placements. To think that he was still alive.”

“Truly a surprise. However, one extra person doesn’t make much difference! We are lacking in both strength and numbers.”

The Rank 3 Aura Grandmasters spoke while fending off the attacks of other Rank 3 enhanced hobgoblins and covering for the other members of the expedition group at the same time.

“What about that person on his back? She looks a little familiar…. Woah!” one of the Rank 3 Aura Grandmasters was distracted and nearly lost his life as the price.

“Focus on the battle! Now is not the time to be distracted!”

“You bet!”

Shortly after, the Rank 3 Aura Grandmasters no longer dared to divide their attention.

Meanwhile, Lord Helia had the greatest burden of dealing with multiple Peak B-rank hunters from the Assembly of Silent Night.

She was being suppressed under their barrage of attacks and could fall at any moment.

However, as a Peak-stage Senior Witch specializing in Water Magic, she was doing very well to last as long as she did against multiple opponents around her level of strength, especially when she was already at a disadvantage due to her hands.

Vaan quickly killed his way over to Helia’s side.

Even with Aeliana on his back, he moved unhindered as if she was as light as a feather. He swung the Rank 2 Unicorn Horn Spear around and slew the weaker goblins before they could get close to him.

With a strong kick, he sent a big hobgoblin flying and knocked over dozens of smaller goblins, some with broken bones.

The unluckier goblins at the forefront died from the impact. Some at the back also got crushed to death under all the accumulated weight.

But as Vaan made his way to Helia, she also moved away from him. She was constantly on the move, chased by Silver Hawk and three other Peak B-rank hunters.

She fired water bullets at them, but Silver Hawk and the others quickly blocked them with their weapons.

Although Helia failed to kill her opponents, she succeeded in slowing them down and drawing her distance.

Even so, her mana dwindled by the moment.

The other Senior Witches weren’t doing much better as they handled the rest of the wolf-men with their Specialized Magic.

“How much have you recovered, Aeliana? Have your spores been cleared from the area?” Vaan quietly checked on Aeliana’s progress as he fought.

“Not yet, my Lord. The sporadic battle is blasting my spores everywhere, making it difficult for me to retrieve them. But, if you settle me somewhere high, I should be able to retrieve my spores and recover faster,” Aeliana quietly replied.

“I see.”

Vaan scanned the area before locking onto a nearby supporting pillar.

Shortly after, he killed his way towards the towering pillar located over two hundred yards away, stepping on several goblin heads with enough force to crush them in the process.

Upon reaching the towering support pillar, he scaled it like an agile monkey, easily reaching two hundred and forty feet high, before he carved out a spot to place Aeliana down.

While it looked like he was hacking away the rocks, he was actually using Earth Manipulation to create a spot for Aeliana to rest on the support pillar.

Direct impacts would only cause cracks to form on it.

Considering the constant battle below was intense and caused frequent tremors in the area, it would only make the cracks bigger and destabilize the support pillar.

It was hard to say how many would survive if the entire ceiling collapsed on everyone.

But, looking at it from another perspective, if he could control the collapse of the pocket realm’s ceiling, he could easily wipe out the goblin horde and turn the tides of battle.

However, it was impossible to avoid friendly casualties completely, not to mention the persecution that would follow him after the end of the battle.

Humans were like that; they would look for something to blame, whether to vent their misfortune or seek to gain benefits from the dispute.

“Stay here and focus on your recovery.”

“Yes, my Lord!”

Aeliana complied after he instructed her.

After leaving a few recovery potions and mana stones to aid her recovery, Vaan launched himself off the towering support pillar and dived back into the big battle below.

Vaan descended rapidly, but the goblins were too busy facing the others to notice him.

Just when it looked like he would crash into the ground and severely injure himself, he stabbed his spear into the back of a tall Rank 3 enhanced hobgoblin and relied on the spear shaft’s flexibility to quickly break his fall.

Roar!

The hobgoblin painfully cried as Vaan used the rebound force to launch himself back into the air.
