"I'll talk..." Lissandra couldn't help but feel that the one in front of him was truly a ruthless man. Her beauty wasn't effective enough for the man to spare him.
Lissandra was quite confident with her appearance and used it to deceive a lot of men with powerful authority. Even a president of a country couldn't resist her beauty. It's also because of her beauty that she successfully reaches her current strength. It helped her to gather the resources that she needed to advance step by step.
'Just how strong is this man? Can he beat our leader?' Lissandra felt powerless at the moment. Just the speed shown by the other party was enough to show how terrible he was. After all, he could kill her several times in a short time. 'I should have studied disease type instead.'
Lissandra's heart was full of regret at this moment. If she had a decease-type curse, no matter how fast the one in front of her, her curse would hit. Now, she'd rather tell the enemy in front of her information and die instantly with the curse their leader cast on her than get tortured.
"Go on..." Fein said without emotion. He was eager to avenge his captain and torture the leader of the Order of the Witches a hundred times. "First, tell me the specific location of the base."
Lissandra nodded quietly. She closed her eyes for a while and accepted the unfavorable situation she was in. In the past, she was just an ordinary little from a happy family. But one day, her family was attacked by bandits. They raped her and her mother. Her mother was killed because she tried to struggle. Then there was her dad was also beaten up to death along with her brothers.
It's also the time she met her savior, the leader of the Order of the Witches. She took care of the bandits effortlessly, it was also the first time she witnessed the mysterious curse power and became aware of the other side of the world.
Just like that, the leader of the Order of the Witches, who was using the name Erica at that time, took her to the organization and trained her along with forty girls the same age as her.
At first, the organization didn't teach them how to fight, but how to seduce men. Simply, the art of seduction that they later used to get resources such as money, materials, and equipment. After two years passed, the little girls came back, each with newfound confidence, but from the original forty, only thirty returned alive.
It was later that year that the Order of the Witches taught them its core values for another year. A systematic brainwashing method to make clueless young people like her become loyal. Since then, the organization became her home, and the witches became her family. The geniuses from ordinary talents were segregated, and Lissandra was fortunate enough to have an excellent talent that caught the leader's attention.
Erica groomed Lissandra, taught her theories regarding the curse technique, and trained her how to negotiate. In the end, Lissandra, with her talent and intelligence, goes from the apprentice stage all the way up to the official witch and finally to her current level, the scholarly witch.
She experienced a lot of things, unable to distinguish good from bad, or right and wrong. The teachings of the organization, and her upbringing which made her who she was. She claimed a lot of lives and performed a lot of evil acts that were condemnable. Only after she receives a task to disguise herself and live like a normal human did she realize all the wrongdoings she had done in the past.
As Lissandra understood human society more and more, confusion flooded her heart. But it was already too late... After all, they already carved her character that way. Now, she understood retribution finally came. And she could only accept it without much thought of struggle. Even if she tries to struggle, the enemy she encountered this time was too strong.
Thinking of this, Lissandra's emotions gradually calmed down. "The location of the base is underground, in the middle of two the two other great countries..."
"So it's really not in this country huh."
"No... The Revenant's country underground is a dead end, it doesn't have much resources around it. But in the junction between the border of Hilfiger and Balberd, there are a lot of minerals, beasts, and other materials. The higher-ups picked it because of its terrain that was easy to defend, hard to attack strategic significance."
Suddenly, Lissandra's face turned pale. Her heart tightened, she felt as if someone punched his stomach and squeezed her heart. She coughed blood before she continued speaking "The curse had taken effect."
"Well, you'll die anyway. So do I just need to get underground to see the base?"
"No, it's not that easy." Lissandra gasped for breath. "You would see it for yourself if you are capable enough."
Then Fein witnessed as Lissandra's body started to swell exaggeratedly. Her cheeks, her arms, and her head swelled like putting air into an empty balloon. Then, she burst like a human bomb. Blood sprayed everywhere, and parts of her body flew around the place that Fein had to surround his body with a degu energy barrier so rain of flesh, blood, and stumps won't get to his body.
Fein valued hygiene in current life and even in the past. 'What the fuck is this curse, it's too cruel. Their leader isn't really good news. To think that she would do such a thing to her subordinates. I need to teach that bitch a lesson.'
Now, he finally fulfilled his goal and there's no point staying anymore. Just like from the black scroll, the approximate location of the witch's base was around the great countries. After all, Gregory won't possibly know its specific location as he hasn't gone there yet.
As Fein was about to teleport away... He recalled something, a thing that he have thought earlier. Kill at least two S-rank degu users from the East to weaken them. At that time, the South would surpass the East in terms of the number of S-ranks and he would obtain free experience points! It's like hitting two birds with one stone!
