The Witch Hunter System

Vaan found it had to believe that he had become the seventh Great Devil Contractor. It wouldn ’t add up with everything he had learned about the Great Devils and their Contractors.

Even when little information from outside the seven witch kingdoms was known, the seven Great Devils and the six existing Great Devil Contractors were special exceptions.

After all, the six Great Devil Contractors obtained powers that rivaled Transcendent Witches, not to mention the seven Great Devils that stand far beyond the Transcendent Rank.

That kind of shocking information is nearly impossible to keep secret.

’The six Great Devil Contractors all received Transcendent-level power at the time of the contract… On the other hand, my body has only been strengthened to Rank 1 after awakening the system… ’ Vaan mused.

Unless the system had been playing a prank on him, Vaan had not heard any voices from any of the seven Great Devils.

’I ’m not a Great Devil Contractor, but I seem to have a relationship with one of the seven Great Devils of the Gehenna Realm, ’ Vaan determined.

And if Vaan had to make a guess, it had something to do with being 90% human.

’Although I lack memories of the body before my transmigration, the parents of this body were more likely to be humans—or a witch and witch descendent, to be more precise… Then— ’

’Kyuu? Kyuu…! ’

Topaz suddenly appeared in Vaan ’s direct line of sight, asking him why he was ignoring her. She moved onto his head with a pout on her face and threw a tantrum by pulling his hair.

Alas, Topaz lacked physical strength. Thus, Vaan only felt like she was trying to find nits in his hair.

Although Vaan understood her thoughts, he only responded with a smile and continued to let her tug at his hair.

’When I was struck by an Aura-powered attack, I was left thrown into the wasteyard. That must mean that none of the witches could have saved me with healing magic. But against all odds, I survived anyway, ’ Vaan recalled.

However, the system was not one to give without first receiving; it doesn ’t draw rewards from nothing. Vaan had, more or less, figured this out.

’The system didn ’t just help me recover but also fortified my body. Considering the system doesn ’t draw power from nothing, it must have been something it already had, ’ Vaan speculated.

Furthermore, a lot of blood was required to awaken the system within the Etherstone.

’A sacrifice? No, that ’s probably not it. ’

Vaan relied on his superior memory to recall the details of the event. He had indeed lost a lot of blood at that time. His bones were broken, and even his organs were crushed.

However, the system didn ’t absorb all of his blood. In fact, most of it was left behind.
