The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 902: Balmodan's Story

Contrary to Valefor's expectations, the message left in the ancient texts did not sound like a proud ruler who had reached the top of the Primal Chaos Era. Instead, it looked like a person in despair after losing many things, if not everything.

The Primal Chaos Master's despair and solitude could be felt through the ancient texts he left behind.

Anyone who read them would be unconditionally affected by the mood imprinted into the stone stele. Even Valefor was no exception; he felt gloomy and terrible.

Valefor thought he was a merciless butcher.

Yet, even he felt like he could sympathize with the Primal Chaos Era, who seemed to have lost everything.

The mood recorded in the stone stele was extremely contagious and magical.

The longer Valefor dwelled in the depressive mood, the clearer the picture of the Primal Chaos Master's experience.

It was as if he could catch a glimpse of the past and witness the death of worlds as the nothingness swallowed them along with all life on them. Countless wonders and miracles disappeared one by one as the universe returned to a blank slate.

Being the only one left in such a world would indeed be a pity.

If there were no other living beings left, he would have no one to kill, no one to vent the hatred and anger in his heart.

Valefor suddenly had more doubts.

Since the Primal Chaos Era seemed to be in such a despairing state with no hope, how did it survive in the end?

How was Chaos created?

Valefor didn't want to think, but he still couldn't help but become a little curious about history now after such revelations.

Nevertheless, even if he wanted to know, there was no one to enlighten him. As such, he could only put it aside.

Valefor shortly turned to Balmodan and asked, "Besides you, does anyone else know about this temporal chamber?"

"Unless someone had snuck inside without my knowledge, we should be the only people who know about this temporal chamber, Your Excellency," Balmodan answered seriously.

"Good," Valefor nodded and said, "I want to keep it that way, so do you understand what to do?"

"Yes, Your Excellency," Balmodan confirmed after shivering for a moment.

He thought he had to kill himself to keep the secret, but there was no killing intent from Valefor.

As such, Balmodan considered Valefor's words again and realized he just needed to prevent others from finding out about the temporal chamber. Sealing off the area without drawing attention should be sufficient.

"Alright, now let us talk about you."

"About me, Your Excellency?"

Balmodan was immediately surprised by the sudden focus on him. However, he quickly understood after giving it a second thought.

It was no surprise that Valefor would be a little interested in his history, given his origins. "That's right," Valefor affirmed before asking indifferently, "How did a Pangean Aura User like you survive in Gehenna after getting left behind by the third great expedition?"

"To be honest, it was all luck, Your Excellency."

Balmodan felt a little embarrassed to recount his story. But since Valefor was interested, he had no choice but to share his experience.

"During the third great expedition, I suffered a serious injury during battle and passed out. By the time I regained consciousness, the battle was over, and all surviving members of the third great expedition had already retreated to Pangea."

"Perhaps they would have carried me back if someone had found out I was still alive. Unfortunately, I was buried under demon wolf carcasses, so they must have missed my unconscious body."

"During the time of my unconsciousness, the blood of the demon wolf carcasses seeped into my open wounds and mixed with my own. By some divine miracle, the blood of the demon wolf was compatible with my body. Thus, I ended up inheriting the bloodline of the demon wolf."

"Thanks to that, the patrolling demon wolves recognized me as a half-breed and allowed me to live among them with a lower status until I took my chance with Kezan's corpse." Valefor yawned and almost fell asleep during Balmodan's explanation. It was rather boring, but he managed to get through it in the end.

In truth, Valefor couldn't completely trust Balmodan. He still suspected he was a pawn of the Outer Beings—or, at the very least, some unknown with an ulterior motive.

After all, Balmodan's story itself was rather suspicious.

How could his human body just happen to be compatible with demon wolf blood and absorb it while he was unconscious?

It seemed more reasonable if someone or something had secretly assisted him instead.

As such, Valefor decided to keep an eye on him and not let his guard down in case his suspicions proved to be correct.

Shortly after exiting the cave and sealing the entrance, Valefor immediately headed for the Redsong Territory to learn about Astarte's divine weapon refining technique.

The temporal chamber was undoubtedly useful.

However, Valefor could only let Vaan come back for it at a later date when the person wasn't preoccupied with cultivation.

Nevertheless, since he intended to take Balmodan's temporal chamber, he also granted him a [Decamillenium-Year Blazewood Branch] as compensation in advance.

Of course, Balmodan was happy to receive the [Decamillenium-Year Blazewood Branch] despite not knowing how he should best utilize it.

...

Meanwhile, Valefor stepped into Redsong Capital after splitting open another lingering spatial rift with the Asura Law.

However, the governing laws of Gehenna and Chaos were very stable. Thus, it only tooka dozen seconds for the spatial rift to close up on its own.

"Welcome to Redsong Territory, Your Excellency," Astarte greeted after hurrying over due to the unexpected opening of the spatial rift in her city.

Thanks to her timely arrival, she managed to catch a glimpse of the other end of the spatial

rift before it closed.

Her mouth subconsciously twitched when she realized it was connected to the Wolf God Domain. The distance between the Wolf God Domain and Redsong Territory was not small. Yet, the Heavenly Devil easily connected the two places with a non-spatial law. His attainments in the Asura Law were seriously impressive.

"Your Excellency, would you like to be entertained while you are here? Or would you like to learn our divine weapon refining technique right away?" Astarte inquired with a seductive

smile.
