As the night fell in the Revenant country, the moon and countless stars replaced the azure blue sky, clouds weren't visible anymore.
Fein stood up at this time from his meditative crossed-legged position. He felt his butt was numb from all the sitting he have done. But overall, he felt refreshed and his mind was clear.
'It's time to start.' As Fein thought of this. He took a deep breath, felt the cold breeze of the night on his face, then closed his two eyes.
A few moments later, Fein entered an optimal state. After all, he was about to use his perception to cover big cities, and he would use it to its maximum range for a minute while processing the information that he would obtain. This would definitely put a burden on his mind, so he has to be in his best condition.
The royal family didn't know that someone was about to spy on all the information on their territory, such as the secret place of the castles and other sensitive information. Of course, that is, if Fein would have the chance to know them in one minute.
'I hope it would turn well this time. If not, there are still two remaining great countries to visit.' Just the thought of this made him feel tired. They have been visiting city to city, country to country since their adventure.
Well, it was noble and exciting as he managed to experience things that he wouldn't experience if he just stayed in one place. Every country has something to offer, whether a small or a big one. Due to this, Fein experienced changes in his perspective along the process as he openly incorporated and welcomed other people's ideas.
If he had just had time, he would have visited all the libraries in the East. Unfortunately, he didn't manage to because of a tight schedule. Recording all the contents of the books in the East would be a long-term project that he can only do after he finished what he needed to do. Of course, not just in the East... But also in the West, North, and Central Plains. He would empty their libraries and record as much knowledge as he can! At that time, he would become the greatest scholar to ever exist! His mind palace would become the largest library in the world!
Just like that, Fein removed the distracting thoughts from his head. Then he willed it. He controlled his perception. At the start it was slow, it only covered half of the Central city after one minute, then it became faster and faster. The speed snowballed as the two-minute mark was reached and his perception covered big cities one after another.
In the end, Fein's perception has enveloped fifteen big cities! Some of the cities he had covered were even bigger than normal countries on Earth.
Countless pieces of information steadily flooded his brain. Fein was already proficient at this time and he wasn't as overwhelmed. Though he still felt a slightly heavy pressure, it wasn't as worse than before.
Fein was proud to say that he finally has masterful control over his extremely large, wide perception. And became decent at processing a tremendous amount of information that could even rival supercomputers in his past life.
Suddenly, in his perception, he finally found a clue. Eight kilometers away from him. He perceives nine women dressed in a dark robes with four men whose feet and arms were bound in a rope. Fein could even read their emotion based on their subtle body language.
The four have varying injuries on their body. 'So these are the witches on the way to kidnap people again? They really dare to do this in a great country. They had guts...'
Suddenly, Fein realized that he was the one to speak. Ain't he literally on top of the castle of the ruling body of the Revenant country?
? ...
"W-where are you bringing us? Please let us go! We have families waiting for us at home!"
"You damned bitches? Do you dare to do this to me? I'm from the Verdugo Family!! You will pay for your recklessness. My elder brother and my father won't let you for your presumptuousness!" One of the men has stubble on his face and a fatty belly.
Lissandra, the ice witch, ignored the words of the four men who tried to convince them.
Lissandra threw a beam of blue light to the feet of the guy from the Verdugo family.
"Ahhhhh!" the stubbled-face man screamed in pain.
On the left side of Lissandra. Anne is also the common witch that doesn't have specialization but knew an array of curses. Just like degu users, witches have a more complicated power system. First of all, witches can be graded up to SSS class like degu users. They convert their degu energy into curse energy to launch curse spells. Second, their powers depend on their study. They can only use spells if they knew the principle behind them. So an S rank degu energy might not be able to use an S rank curse type spell that corresponds to their level of energy. That's why knowledge and study are the priority of witches. Their degree of study or level of knowledge is also graded in four categories. Apprentice, Official Witch, Scholarly Witch, and lastly Specialist.
Apprentices, just like its name, are those witches at the entry-level... A beginner, but also the most important stage because it's the stage where the witches began to establish their foundation or systematic study. Apprentice studies fundamental knowledge or also the basics. They can cast F to E-level spells as long as they can provide the curse energy needed to activate the spells. It's also the reason that even if the witch is a specialist, which is also the highest level of knowledge, won't be able to launch S-rank spells even if they have sufficient knowledge to launch the spells. Because curse energy is the fuel. The level of knowledge and curse energy level should match.
Official witch, this is the stage where the knowledge foundation of the witch is already stable, and can be said that one truly stepped into the world of curses. An official witch can already use D to C-level spells.
