The Witch Hunter System

Nevertheless, there was also a slight chance that the clause could make the Great Devils drop the entire matter of allowing him to become a Great Devil.

Although it was only a slight chance, it was still a possibility.

As such, Vaan was prepared to increase his trump cards. He had something in mind that could truly threaten the Great Devils should they make an enemy out of him.

However, he had yet to test whether it could be realized.

"In any case, the ideal situation would be for the Great Devils to quietly accept the added clause and let me carry on with the trials. I do not wish to be forced to reveal my trump cards or lose anyone-if it can be helped," Vaan commented.

He understood the risk of adding the clause to the contract, but it had to be done.

After all, even if the Nihility Law could help him break free from the contract, he would be forced into a very passive position if he accepted the oath as it was. The Great Devils would only keep reaching for a mile after being given an inch if he gave them such an advantage. "That would indeed be the ideal situation if it can be helped. I also agree that taking this step is necessary," Hecate acknowledged before adding, "A Soul Master shouldn't be subjected to such unfairness."

"Unfortunately, fairness does not exist in a world governed by power. My peers don't seem to possess the brightest of minds, either—at least, not anymore. The comfort of time must have rotted their brains."

"I suppose that is why they are all stuck at Peak Rank 6 Divine Being," Hecate commented. Vaan glanced at Hecate, who was also stuck at Peak Rank 6 Divine Being. However, he was wise enough to avoid making a snide comment on it.

Moreover, she didn't consider herself to be the same as the other Great Devils, especially not when Rank 7 was just around the corner now.

"Anyhow, I should give you everything I came to give, Sir Vaan. Then, I will perform the contract creation and recording since you have decided to become a Great Devil of Gehenna," Hecate stated before withdrawing several items from her silver interspatial ring.

At the same time, Vaan's interest was piqued. His eyes quickly locked onto the several items Hecate took out.

There were two scrolls, a bottle of mixed blood, a few pill recipes, a thick manual, and several dozen vials of special pills and potions.

"You're giving me all of this, Lady Hecate?" Vaan asked with a little surprise.

Although the pile of items wasn't a lot, his instincts told him they possessed extraordinary value.

"That's right," Hecate nodded before introducing the items, "You should be familiar with the Soul Rejuvenating Water, so you should understand what these few dozen vials of Soul Rejuvenating Essence and Soul Rejuvenating Pills will do."

"This manual contains my experience in ancient alchemy and potioneering. These are the three recipes for soul force recovery medicine. If you have an interest, you can try learning."

"These two scrolls are bloodline-related divine techniques I have chanced upon in my travels. The Divine Blood Refining Art should help you assimilate Abaddon's vampiric bloodline without conflicting with your existing bloodlines."

"Moreover, the Divine Blood Refining Art will also help you cultivate blood and comprehend the Blood Law," Hecate explained.

After speaking up to this point, Hecate hesitated to give Vaan the last scroll and bottle of mixed blood.

"What about these last two items, Lady Hecate?" Vaan inquired with growing curiosity.

Since Hecate brought them yet felt hesitant to give them, there had to be some extraordinary yet uncertain factors regarding them.

"This other scroll is something I once took out of my family treasury to study," Hecate mentioned.

"However, I quickly gave up after realizing it was a broken technique. Supposedly, one of my ancestors obtained from the Mysterious Primeval Secret Realm. So, I felt like it would be a waste if I continued to let it gather dust in my storage."

"I didn't have any luck learning it, but you might be able to unlock its secrets, Sir Vaan. If you succeed in cultivating it, this bottle containing a hundred different beast blood essences should aid you a bit," Hecate informed.

"What is the Mysterious Primeval Secret Realm?" Vaan asked with interest.

"That's a good question, Sir Vaan. Even I don't quite know the answer to it," Hecate answered before saying, "The Mysterious Primeval Secret Realm is probably one of Chaos's greatest mysteries."

"It's a secret realm that opens randomly in all kinds of places in Chaos. It doesn't seem to have any pattern to its opening time and location. However, it would create a great buzz throughout Chaos each time it opens."

"This is because it is filled with divine arts and cultivation techniques from a very distant era -so distant that people believed it to be the very first era of Chaos, the Primal Chaos Era," Hecate said.

"Is that so?" Vaan uttered thoughtfully.

After listening to Hecate's words, his interest only grew. The moment he accepted the scroll, he opened it up for a quick read.

Surprisingly, he understood every character record on it. No doubt, the scroll wasn't an original copy but the translation Hecate transcribed for him.

"The Everlasting Blood Mantra?" Vaan furrowed his brows after reading the name of the ancient technique.

Despite being a transcribed copy of the original version, he could sense the unfathomable primordial aura emanating from it.

How could it possess such ancientness when he could still smell the fresh ink?

"How peculiar..." Vaan uttered in wonder before asking considerately, "Do you mind if I give this a read, Lady Hecate?"

"It seems the Everlasting Blood Mantra has attracted your interest. Please take your time to read it. I'm also interested in hearing your thoughts on it later, Sir Vaan," Hecate replied.

Vaan nodded.

Shortly after he read the scroll, he couldn't help but feel shocked at the Everlasting Blood

Mantra.

Was this really a cultivation technique from primordial times? Maybe it was a broken technique like Hecate said?

The core concept of the Everlasting Blood Mantra was to create an immortal and indestructible blood by refining the blood essence of countless different species.

Upon mastering the Everlasting Blood Mantra, the cultivator was said to be able to fully revive even if they only had single drop of blood of their being remaining in existence. The potential supplementary uses of the technique were also outrageous.
