431 Order of the Phantom
Fein slowly calmed down and put his attention on the next section, the third section. The third section, on the other hand, record the deeds of the witches since its founding. And it was written in this format in the scroll.
The activities of the witches in the past years:
-Kidnapped young and talented degu users and turned them into a puppet. They used the converted puppets as a tool for their goals.
-The witch organization sends its elite members to explore several secret realms to obtain materials and resources.
-Kidnapped innocent people who don’t have a degu talent and used them as materials for their pill and boil them in a cauldron. The pill is called blood bill... It can prevent aging, strengthen the body, enrich degu energy, remove impurities, strengthen memory, and beautify the skin.
-The witch organization killed a few explorers who had successfully brought out ancient relics.
-Disguise themselves as beautiful, rich women and seduce men with high status in several powerful countries and kingdoms. They used this to bring convenience to their actions and conceal their activities.
-Meet with some members of Laughing Phantom a few times in extremely concealed ways.
‘Damn, just as much did the captain pay to get such a detailed amount of information? And how did he even do it?’ Fein felt a chill on his back as he continued to read.
.....
He knew that the information in the black scroll wasn’t gathered overnight. But it was the result of Gregory’s use of hard work throughout the years that he serves as a captain of the Ranger’s Eye!
Although the third section only mentions the deeds of the witches. They were still valuable info! After all, by learning the activities of the witch and analyzing the patterns. He could deduce what they would do next, where are they, or what their goals are. Though it would take time.
‘These fucking witches are too evil. Did they turn young children into puppets? Too unforgivable!’ Fein couldn’t help but sigh. ‘If my Michael knew this, I’m sure that he would rush recklessly to them. Although I’m not a man of justice. I still want to skin these bastards alive.’
What caught his attention was the so-called blood pill. What is cruel? This is cruel! It had really touched the bottom line. Fein felt his blood boil as he thought about how those poor innocents became raw materials into a pill. Fein didn’t find the effect of the blood pill outrageous. But had guessed that the witches just probably liked the blood pills because of their beautification effect. ‘What a bunch of crazy bitches! They just did it to become younger and more beautiful, isn’t it?
‘But why do they keep killing explorers? What is their goal? Do they even seduce influential figures? Just how many kingdoms have the shadows of the witches? It seems that although the Laughing Phantom became low key, they used the witch organization as a tool to accomplish their goal and pulled the strings behind the scenes.’ Fein’s brain become to work very fast with the blessing of his talent.
No matter what, he didn’t care what the witches do. He just wants to avenge Gregory, and torture them until they didn’t have the will to live anymore.
Killing them just like that is too easy, right? Just slashing them and done?’ Fein clenched his fist and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. ‘No! I have to make sure that they would die painfully!’
A painless death? Do the witches deserve it? If they really die without a struggle, then Fein won’t feel satisfied.
With that, Fein read the next section of the black scroll, section four. If the section there listed the activities that witches had done. The fourth section was about the members themselves, or the witches.
The group of witches actually call themselves the ‘Order of the Phantoms.’ They had a hundred members, of which seventy-two were B rank degu users, twenty-seven A ranks, and one S rank.
What amazed Fein was the fact that the Leader of the Laughing Phantom had actually created a method to convert degu energy into curse energy. A type of energy used to launch various curse spells and techniques. As for who created the curse technique, it was Niki himself.
Gregory wrote in the upper column of the four sections some details about curse spells that he had seen the witch uses after he fought them. It has all kinds of weird and bizarre effects that were unguardable in some ways and could easily take the life of their targets silently.
For instance, what happened to his captain... Fein further understood that the one who killed his captain was actually the leader of the witches or the S-rank witch. She had used the most silent killer of the curse. ‘Fudaria’ or also the curse that could give a disease that would slowly kill the target or even just take effect after a couple of amounts of years. The victim that would be seemingly healthy won’t even know how he would die. It’s basically an invisible time bomb.
Fein rejoiced as the witches weren’t that particularly strong in frontal battles and melee. But he only needed to guard against their strange means. As for the ‘Fudaria’... He didn’t need to worry about it! After all, he was immune to diseases!
The thing is, there are various types of cursed techniques. Dark monster summoning, disease-type, psychic-curse, and an attack-type curse.
‘This is the one who cursed captain?’ Fein saw that the last words from section four were about the leader of the ‘Order of the Phantoms’.
Maria Kurei, it wasn’t known how many years Maria had lived. But she was actually one of the members of the Laughing Phantom and Niki’s loyal followers! Maria had mastered all the types of curses, and she could even kill multiple S ranks with her ‘Fudaria’ the cursed-disease type she specialized the most.
At this time, Fein had to wonder, and at the same time felt awe at the detailed information that his captain had compiled. As in the fifth section, Fein almost didn’t want to read it. Because he knew that he would only become.
The final content of the black scroll was actually Gregory’s last words! He knew that had to read it. ‘I hope it won’t make me fucking cry.’
