The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 361 Departing Gifts

The discomfort didn't come from recording too many fire-attribute magical plants. Even if there was a limit to the Plant Compendium, he was sure he was still far from it.

There wasn't anything wrong with his body either.

The sudden discomfort came from his sixth sense, telling him something bad had happened or was going to happen in the near future to him or the people around him.

Vaan's Demigod-rank soul enabled him to perceive the laws, or rather, the 'beliefs' in the world. People's trust and belief in him was also a type of belief.

'Is this how divine-level beings sense the thoughts of their believers?' Vaan wondered.

He quickly comprehended that the cumulative belief of people in a divine-level being was also a form of power that could strengthen the said divine-level being.

The seven Great Devils relied on the connection formed through the power of belief with their worshippers.

'So this is how the Great Devils make contracts with humans and pass their divine power over without personally descending into this world,' Vaan understood.

He wouldn't be surprised if the followers of the seven Great Devils were their eyes and ears in the literal sense.

Considering Vaan only had a Demigod-rank soul, he was still far from performing such divine abilities.

But at the very least, he understood the discomfort was a sign of someone thinking about him and possibly needing his help.

Vaan immediately started to filter through his list of contacts.

The twin flowers of the Delarosa Household should have made it to the capital long ago. If they encountered a problem, they wouldn't suddenly think of him now.

Thus, it was unlikely them.

It couldn't be the students from Redpine Academy either. His time there was short, and his relationships were casual, not enough interactions to develop strong bonds and worship.

Thus, Redpine Academy was also ruled out.

It was even less likely to be Hester, Astoria, Eniwse, and Aeliana, as they were all in the Red Dragon Clan under the protection of the dragons. If there were problems, the dragons would resolve them.

Thus, it couldn't be them either.

'As expected, I've been away for too long. Dahlia and the others must have encountered a problem in Sunpeak Town,' Vaan determined.

Although it seemed like it took some time before Vaan arrived at a conclusion, his whole thought process had happened in an instant.

'I need to return quickly and check on the situation,' Vaan decided.

He immediately left the Trial by Fire and arrived at Dragon Summit.

At the same time, the nine dragon lords sensed Vaan's spiritual summoning. As such, they immediately dropped their activities to answer his call.

Within a few breaths of Vaan landing on Dragon Summit, the nine dragon lords all arrived at once.

"What do you need from us, Supreme Leader? Please command us," Astarot enquired, prepared to start a war if Vaan willed it so.

"I need to make a quick trip to a human settlement in the Kingdom of Black Rose. But, once I leave, I'm unlikely to return for a while as well," Vaan mentioned. "I need someone who can send me to my destination with spatial magic in the shortest time possible."

The nine dragon lords all glanced at each other.

They knew the supreme leader was preparing to return to the witch kingdom, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.

Nevertheless, they had to follow his wish.

"If it's within the Kingdom of Black Rose, any one of us can send you there with a single spell, Supreme Leader," Astarot informed before quickly adding, "But before you go, there is something we would all like to give you."

"Something you would like to give me?" Vaan was slightly surprised before he acknowledged with a nod, "Alright, but make it quick."

"Yes, Supreme Leader!" Astarot and the other dragon lords answered.

Shortly after, the dragon lords flew back to their caves and picked up the items they had prepared in the past three days before returning to Dragon Summit.

"This is what each of us wanted to gift you, Supreme Leader," Astarot and the other dragon lords presented their gifts all at once, including Narvim and Khaleesi's.

In total, Vaan received six sets of clothes, one set of armor, a heavy broadsword, and a huge black metal cube, which appeared to be a type of magic tool.

Thinking Vaan would have difficulty carrying everything, they added an adjustable belt, an interspatial storage magic tool, which possessed a warehouse-size subspace.

The six sets of clothes were all made of dragon fabric. They came in sets of pure black, pure dark red, or a mix of both and some gold lining.

Although they only possess Rank 3 defense, their fire resistance was comparable to peak Rank 5.

The armor set was made of dragon scales and other rare metals added into the mix. Its color was also comprised of black and dark red. As for its defense, it was comparable to High-Rank 5.

The heavy broadsword's quality was also at High-Rank 5, made of dragon scales and other rare metals. Its main body and hilt were jet black, while its blade was bright red.

Every piece of equipment was refined and stunning, like a work of art. Their extraordinary craftsmanship wasn't something one would expect to be made by dragons.

However, anything was possible when they had perfect control of their magic.

Finally, the huge black metal cube was a spatial-type magic tool capable of opening a huge spatial portal connecting to a giant gateway on First Peak.

Although the black metal cube could also be used as a Rank 5 defensive item, its primary purpose was to connect to the Red Dragon Clan.

As the dragon lords introduced each item, Vaan didn't hesitate to swap out his current clothes for one of the new sets made from dragon fabric.

Always burning his clothes was an inconvenience that the dragon lords had taken into consideration during their creation.

"Amazing. These items would all be considered priceless treasures in the Kingdom of Black Rose. I will definitely put them to good use," Vaan promised.

The dragon fabric clothes were a perfect fit and gave him a refreshing new look.

"We would be honored if they serve you well, Supreme Leader!" Astarot and the other dragon lords responded.

"Alright." Vaan nodded with satisfaction before commanding them, "If you would do the honors, Lord Astarot. Please send me to Sunpeak Town."

"Gladly, Supreme Leader!" Astarot answered happily.
