Shortly after the brief tongue-click, silence returned to the sky once more.

At the same time, the black cloaks searched the dark sky with their eyes, but they failed to locate the source of the sound.

However, Lethal Shade was completely startled when Infamous Enigma called out Lord Dream Streak.

"Lord Dream Streak is here with us? If we have an S-rank Witch Hunter with us this whole time, why wasn't I privy to this information?" Lethal Shade questioned.

"Such a large number of A-rank Witch Hunters were mobilized to the Kingdom of Black Rose. Did you really think the organization's upper echelons would just let the two of us lead the operation?" Infamous Enigma mentioned.

"The answer is obviously no. It only makes sense that one or two S-rank Witch Hunters would be sent to oversee the operation. And given Lord Dream Streak is usually in charge of matters related to the witch kingdoms, it's only reasonable to assume he is the one sent to watch over us."

"Are you saying Lord Dream Streak has been watching our men get helplessly slaughtered?" Lethal Shade asked, feeling angry at the S-ranker's indifference.

The black cloaks continued to wait for the S-ranker to appear with hopeful looks, but the person never showed up.

During that time, Vaan didn't stay idle.

The black cloaks had the audacity to target his people in his presence. He didn't take kindly to threats and coercion.

He had been powerless for too long. However, now that he was truly powerful, he could finally vent off all the negative feelings he had kept bottled up inside him to his heart's content.

In Vaan's eyes, the black cloaks weren't opponents; they weren't even qualified. They were only dummies and punching bags for him to test the extent of his aura and physical might.

Still, Rank 4 opponents were not strong enough for him; their bodies were too fragile and easily torn apart. Thus, Vaan began targeting their armor instead.

White Tiger Palm!

Boom!

Vaan's palm landed dead center on a black cloak's chest, creating a sizeable palm imprint on the Rank 4 chest plate under the black cloak's clothes and shooting the person off into the distance like a cannonball.

The impact force shattered the person's bones and ruptured his organs. Even so, Vaan didn't let the person off.

Extreme Lightning Fast Step!

Vaan instantaneously closed the distance on the person in the air and grabbed him by the feet before hurling him back towards a group of ten black cloaks on the ground.

Ka-cha!

The person's spine couldn't handle the strain caused by an abrupt and forceful change in two extreme directions and snapped.

If the person hadn't died in the first blow, then he definitely died after slamming into his comrades, crushing them, and shattering many more bones.

Boom!

Vaan shot back into the ground shortly after and finally started killing the remaining black cloaks once and for all. He quickly slaughtered them, reducing their numbers to a mere twenty within a few dozen breaths.

He had conducted enough tests.

"What are you waiting for, Lord Dream Streak?! Will you only be content once we are completely wiped out?! Why won't you help us?!" Lethal Shade and Infamous Enigma were enraged.

Even after losing over a hundred A-rank Witch Hunters, the S-rank Witch Hunter refused to intervene.

It almost seemed like the S-rank Witch Hunter had abandoned them.

In the end, the black cloaks were decimated, leaving Lethal Shade and Infamous Enigma left. The two were forced to fend for themselves but were no match for Vaan.

However, Vaan didn't kill them like the rest of the black cloaks.

Instead, he temporarily spared their lives after crippling their movements and breaking their jaws, robbing them of the ability to even suicide.

Vaan understood the two black cloaks were more important than the rest and may hold valuable information about the Assembly of Silent Night and possibly about various existing powers outside the seven witch kingdoms.

Nevertheless, after defeating all his opponents, Vaan casually collected the salvageable bodies and equipment and piled them all into a small mountain outside the lord's estate, next to the two surviving black cloaks.

Only then did he glance up and fix his gaze on a particular empty spot in the sky.

"Isn't it about time you people showed yourselves?" Vaan nonchalantly asked. Time passed, but he received no response, causing him to become impatient. "No? Then, I will make you."

Shortly after, Vaan made a grasping gesture at the sky.

In that instant, an enormous hand of blue flames manifested, lighting up the night sky as it grabbed an invisible object in the air and dragged it down to the ground.

At the same time, the blue flames burned away the hidden object's invisibility spell and revealed a small magic airship.

After the small magic airship crashed into the ground, two figures escaped the billowing blue flames before finally meeting Vaan face to face.

The two figures did not hide their appearance behind black cloaks and cloth wrappings like the other members of the Assembly of Silent Night.

Instead, they wore impressive Rank 5 black armor and possessed elderly faces. But while they appear quite advanced in their age, their presence was equally intimidating.

They possessed the pressure of Rank 5 beings.

"Haiz," one of the two S-rank Witch Hunters sighed and said to the other, "As expected, this is all your fault, Dream Streak. Your tongue-click exposed us."

"No, I already knew you two were hiding in the sky from the start," Vaan casually corrected, not feeling the slightest pressure from the two.

"Oh?" Dream Streak uttered with interest before saying, "Then, you should also know that we allowed you to kill all our A-rank Witch Hunters."

"No, you knew you didn't stand a chance even if you intervened. That's why you both hid like timid chickens while I slaughtered your men," Vaan retorted with a sharp tongue, not caring about their faces in the slightest.

The two S-rank Witch Hunters' faces twitched, but they suppressed their murderous impulses and forced themselves to remain calm.

"In any case, I hope whatever grievance you have with our organization has been settled with their deaths," Dream Streak stated. "More importantly, we want to welcome a man of your caliber into our ranks as a fellow S-rank Witch Hunter."

"Would you be interested?" the other S-rank Witch Hunter asked.
