The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 941: Gold-Horned Mutant Serpent



"You didn't hear it clearly? Should I repeat it for you to understand?" Astoria nonchalantly asked.

Veins immediately protruded on Emperor Carpus's temples.

The ten Void realm experts of the Martial Saint Hall, Medicine King Sect, and Heavenly Sword Manor also frowned.

They had greatly underestimated the UN's shamelessness. They didn't expect that just because the UN had become powerful in recent days, it was already acting so rampant in a foreign country.

Whether it was Astoria's opinion or Kemun's provocations, Emperor Carpus was seriously angered by them.

"The Pure Moon Palace's people lived as citizens of my Divine Serpent Empire, and they shall die as dogs of my Divine Serpent Empire! All deserters are punishable by death!" Emperor Carpus barked before adding, "Since you dare to interfere in my empire's private matters and act unreasonably, your words mean nothing to me. I don't need to listen to your bullshit!"

"Your words also mean nothing to me," Astoria said, her expression turning cold. "I am here to give you a choice, not listen to your opinion. The Pure Moon Palace has joined the UN and is now under our protection."

"If you insist on attacking, we will definitely retaliate with force, and I can assure you, your side will definitely lose," Astoria stated strictly.

Although she wasn't familiar with the Divine Serpent Empire's cultivation system, she was already given a comparison by Ninth Fairy Sue. She could also roughly guess their strength based on their aura and energy fluctuations.

Nevertheless, Emperor Carpus was not deterred by Astoria's threat. In fact, he even responded with furious contempt.

"Do you think my Divine Serpent Empire is afraid of you?! Do you believe yourself superior to us?! You can't be more ignorant and wrong!" Emperor Carpus snarled.

Shortly after, he took out a crystal ball and raised it into the sky. When spirit energy was channeled into it, powerful green radiance immediately surged out in all directions.

Kemun snorted, and a strong fire barrier appeared to shield everyone from the penetrating green light.

However, the brilliant green light shooting out of the crystal ball wasn't an attack. Besides its blinding radiance, it had no offensive capabilities whatsoever.

After the green light faded as time passed, nothing else seemed to happen.

"Kekeke, was that bit of lightwork the source of confidence? Even if it's a beacon to summon something, don't you think it's rather in arriving? Do you think we are just going to wait to find out?" Kemun snickered disdainfully.

Emperor Carpus retreated with a few steps with an ugly expression before he shifted his dark gaze to the defective crystal ball.

The summoning was taking much longer than he had anticipated. It made him look like a fool. With Kemun in the front to handle the Divine Serpent Empire's side, Astoria no longer paid attention to Emperor Carpus's buffoonery, and she shifted her focus where it mattered.

"Open up the mountain and rescue the people inside!" Astoria directed the Transcendent- rank red dragons.

"Stop them!" Emperor Carpus immediately barked.

The ten Void realm experts from the three major forces immediately hesitated, considering the superior numbers and strength of the twenty Transcendent-rank red dragons.

However, Emperor Carpus's increasingly dark and gloomy aura quickly caused their hearts to tremble.

As such, they had no choice but to steel their hearts and charge forward.

"Finally!" Kemun's eyes lit up before he roared excitedly, "Hahaha! Where do you think you're all going? Your opponent is me!"

With a single dragon swiped, a wall of flames encircled the ten Void realm experts in a flash, cutting off their paths of advancement and retreat.

At the same time, the Transcendent-rank red dragons sensed the situation was under Kemun's control. Thus, they continued to open up the mountain to bring the trapped people out.

However, the entire mountain suddenly shook.

No, it wasn't just the mountain everyone was standing on but several dozen mountains in the area as well. The source of the trembling seemed to come from the bottom of the mountain, in the depths of the thick and endless fog.

Whatever was rushing toward them was fast, but more shockingly, it seemed very huge. Roar !!!

The colossal figure of a Gold-horned Serpent soon emerged from the thick fog. Its swift arrival brought forward a powerful surge of wind as it abruptly stopped, towered over the mountain, and eyed down everyone with its sharp, piercing gaze.

Shortly after, it glanced at Emperor Carpus, silently asking what it was summoned for.

Meanwhile, Astoria and the dragons were shocked.

No one had ever seen a Gold-horned Serpent before, especially not one that was several hundred meters long with scales that seemed harder than ordinary dragon scales. Furthermore, it also possessed the strong aura of a Late-stage Demigod, a minor stage above Kemun's.

The corners of Kemun's eyes immediately twitched.

Nevertheless, he did not shy away from the challenge. His level might be lower, but he wasn't necessarily weaker. His true dragon bloodline was stronger than the bloodlines of most

species on Pangea.

That said, Kemun was still slightly concerned and suspicious about the Gold-horned Serpent's faint draconic aura.

Meanwhile, Ninth Fairy Sue, who followed everyone on the back of a Transcendent-rank dragon, completely paled at the sight of the enormous creature.

"Gold-horned Mutant Serpent!" she cried out loud.

She vaguely remembered hearing that a powerful guardian beast protected the Evermore Imperial Family.

However, it was the first time she had actually seen it.

Had she realized it sooner, she would have warned the others about this powerful foe.

That said, her warning might not have deterred everyone from retreating, even if she did realize it sooner. After all, she did not know its exact strength.

However, the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent before her was so big that it might as well be a Divine-rank creature.

"Your Majesty! Since the Darkans have never treated Lunarans kindly, why can't you just let us go?! Why must you go to such lengths to exterminate us?!" Ninth Fairy Sue cried.

Her question was also something Astoria was curious about.

Why was the Divine Serpent Empire going to such extreme lengths to exterminate the Pure

Moon Palace for leaving the country?

Was it simply because it did not want its knowledge spreading outside?

Or was there a bigger reason?
