The Witch Hunter System

After settling his thoughts, Vaan glanced out the window and saw the beautiful night sky with cascading moonlight to estimate the time.

The night was not young, but there were still several hours before the first ray of sunrise arrived.

’I ’ve finished collecting all the information from Lady Solana ’s research papers and books, but I still have this much spare time, huh? Seems like my ability improved again, ’ Vaan mused.

Although staying at the Golden Peacock Inn guaranteed protection, Vaan didn ’t intend to sleep.

Given his mental level, he could stay awake for a whole week without an issue. Of course, this excludes factors brought by mental workload.

If Vaan overworked his mind, he would require rest much sooner due to the built-up mental fatigue.

’With Lady Solana ’s protection, there ’s no need to worry about Lady Linetta and Lady Lillias, ’ Vaan thought.

Although the internal conflict within Delarosa Household was a nuisance, building a connection with the Delarosa Household through Linetta and Lillias shouldn ’t be a mistake.

After all, the Delarosa Marquisate occupied a vast amount of land in the south. A mere Redpine City is insignificant compared to it.

Furthermore, it was closer to the southern borders.

’There must be more powers than just the seven witch kingdoms on this continent. Unfortunately, all information on existing powers outside the seven witch kingdoms is not readily available—No, should I say they were restricted from public access instead? ’ Vaan mused.

He could understand why, though.

Nevertheless, Vaan quickly shelved aside the thought and scanned his surroundings with Magic Vision.

The material buildings seemingly fell into the background as the clusters of mana belonging to people, the environment, and even the minuscule spores of the Plant-type Abomination all entered his sight.

Interestingly enough, the spores had a tendency to absorb nearby mana.

’Despite the city being full of mana, none of it can be used. The spores are responsible for this. If too many spores entered the body, they would attach to the mana veins and magic circles like leeches and interfere with the activation of magic… ’

Vaan understood the secret behind the Curse of the Purple Umbala, but his expression remained calm like the lake of still water, serene and without ripples.

’Fortunately, these spores cannot affect me, ’ Vaan slightly smiled with amusement.
