"A witch you say... Even in Imperium, the witches hide pretty well among the masses so it's not easy to find them. If I want to verify it can you show me your soul weapon?" Souta rubbed his chin and asked while looking at the mature beautiful woman in front of him.

Amanda narrowed her eyes at Souta's words. Imperium? She hasn't heard it before but it seems that this mysterious man knew a lot of things about witches. Also, from his words, it seems that there were other witches.

Is it possible?

Her clan was exterminated decades ago and she was the sole survivor of the witches. She always thought that she was the last witch.

Alice simply stood at the side. She already saw Amanda's soul weapon so she wasn't that curious about it.

"How do you know about the witch's soul weapon?" Amanda asked in return. Soul weapon was a witch's ace so she wouldn't show it easily to anyone.

"I know a lot of things. It's more than you can imagine so show me your soul weapon if you really are a witch." Souta smiled faintly.

Amanda had no other choice but to show it to him. She knew that she wouldn't be able to escape even if she tried it.

She closed her middle finger and ring finger and used them to caress the lower part of her palm. Then, energy slightly fluctuate, and a red-colored vortex of energy formed on her wrist.

A small exquisite black handle slowly came out of the vortex. Amanda wrapped her fingers on the handle and slowly pulled it out.

She did the same thing on her other hand.

"Oh, it's really a soul weapon...?"

Souta looked at the pair of daggers in her hands with an amused expression. The pair of daggers had a black handle and its blade was red like the color of blood. Its design was perfect and it's enough to arouse the attention of those who liked to collect beautiful objects.

This pair of daggers were good but it only had the power of a high-quality orange grade weapon.

He knew that as long as a witch grew stronger their soul weapon would evolve into a higher grade. The soul weapon of a god-level witch could rival a universal-grade weapon. Also, the ability of their soul weapon was very compatible with the witch.

"Now, do you believe me?"

Amanda asked as she loosened her grip on the two daggers before they turned into tiny particles. Her soul weapon has come back to her body.

She could take it out anytime and use it to surprise her opponent.

"Yeah, you are really a witch... No wonder why you name your organization a Red Witch." Souta nodded with a satisfied expression.

"Then, what will you do to me?" Amanda asked with some hesitation.

"Nothing, I'm just curious about rare species like you. You know it's satisfying to witness the ability of a rare species like you." Souta said.

"You..." Amanda didn't know what to say. It feels like this guy was treating her like an expensive object.

Souta ignored Amanda as he turned his attention to Alice who was silently watching from the side.

"How is it?" He asked.

"Hm... This planet is really connected to other high worlds. It's possible that the forces in the central continent detected us when we used the transportational gate."

"Yeah, the possibility of it is pretty high so we have to prepare ourselves."

"Torkez is controlling the Clautus Group. It won't be long before he grasped the whole city in his hand. After that, I planned to help him further expand this organization so that it would envelop the whole country. As for the neighboring countries... There's a dwarf kingdom on the north, an elven republic on the south, a monster empire on the edge of this continent."

"Franklin has established an underground organization called Noxious. It's full of elite assassins. I will let him infiltrate the dwarf kingdom as for the monster empire... I will send Yuko and Doranjan to deal with it. With their current strength, they wouldn't be in trouble unless a fourth evolution monster appeared but it's unlikely that a fourth evolution monster is hiding there."

"So you plan on conquering the south continent?"

"Yes, I will gather more talents under my wings to further increase our forces. Also, if someone could replace Torkez it would be great."

"I see... Currently, Torkez couldn't focus on researching the parasites." Alice nodded as she glanced at Amanda who was silently listening to their conversation. "How about her? Do you think that she has the capability to replace Torkez?"

Amanda gulped nervously they turned their attention on her. The conversation of these two people looked normal but the content was terrifying.

Do her ears functioning well?

These two casually mentioned that they planned to conquer the whole south continent! A whole continent, not a country! It was completely different from conquering a country!

Conquering a whole continent was a hundred times harder than conquering a country.

Who are these people for them to casually mention something like that?

She didn't have any idea at all.

Amanda subconsciously shivered when she saw Souta looking at her. She felt like a predator was eyeing her and those eyes felt like it could see everything that she was hiding.

"Her power level is A-rank but she's pretty weak but she's a witch so if she undergoes hard training she would become powerful. As long as she solidified her mana then her soul weapon would reach the level of red grade and when she reached the shackled realm her soul weapon would become a dark grade." Souta said while rubbing his chin.

Even god could hardly get a universal grade weapon but a witch was guaranteed to have one. Among the three god-level powerhouses of Hebrei Kingdom, only one of them has a universal grade the other two only had dark grade equipment.

"What you do think, Alice?"

"She's suitable. She has experience in managing an organization like Torkez so she's perfect for that position. That way, Torkez can focus on his research about parasites." Alice said her opinion. In the end, Souta was the leader so he had the last decision.

If Torkez managed to produce the parasite king then they would be able to reproduce the parasitic essence parasites. It means that the strength of their forces would increase by a higher level. Also, Souta didn't need to use the parasite carefully. He could just transplant it to any suitable people above C-rank.

Souta nodded and he turned his attention on Amanda. He slowly opened his mouth and asked, "What's your name witch?"

"Amanda Brune..." Amanda answered him with a resolute expression. Although she was afraid, she tried to hide it in her heart. There's no benefit if she let out her emotion. She always does it... In the past and now.

"Good." Souta nodded with a faint smile as he approached her. He looked straight into her eyes and said, "I can see intense hatred deep in your eyes. The things that you want to achieve with your small organization can't be something simple."

Alice just watched this scene with an amused expression. 'Do you know that you look like a devil with that kind of expression, Souta?' She thought.

"I can help you achieve your goals. The dreams that you thought that you can't fulfill. I can help you with it and also you will gain a strength that you can't imagine. How about it? I just want you to work for me in return then I will help you achieve your dream no matter what happens." Souta whispered into Amanda's ears using his gentle voice.

"I..."

Amanda didn't know if she should accept it or not but certainly, Souta's words were extremely alluring for her. She knew that her goal was hard to achieve considering her level of strength and the organization that she had before was too weak.

She didn't want to accept it but she realized that her puny strength wouldn't be able to help her. That's why when she saw the demon summoning scroll, she didn't hesitate to prepare the ritual.

Even if she sold her soul to a demon, it's fine as long as she could achieve her goal. It's not for her but for her tribe members that were murdered mercilessly.

"I accept it. I will work for you as long as you help me." Amanda said with a resolute expression. She was ready to face any kind of consequences for her actions. She was even ready to die for her goals.

"Good. Then, from now on you're mine."

Souta grinned widely as he raised his hand and caressed Amanda's cheeks. Red flesh started to wriggle on his wrist and in just a few seconds his arm was covered by several layers of black and red flesh.

"Lower your defense. The natural resistance of an A-rank is pretty tough for parasites. Even if you are sleeping the parasite wouldn't be able to fuse with your body."

Black and red flesh started to seep into the pores of Amanda. At the same time, Souta looked at the system prompt that he just received.

*Ding!*
