I Am The Only Witch Hunter-Chapter 362: Odora III

With the Gold Soul, Siderius could attempt to graft more dangerous creatures without the worry of Mutation Collapse.

He had also begun using the later rings in the Nine Rings to further enhance his mutation process.

Originally, he had only used three rings.

Ring of Sense. Ring of Urge. And Ring of Instinct.

Now Siderius used the later two, Ring of Emotion and Ring of Memory.

These two rings allow him to absorb even more essence from the mutation and advance his attributes even more.

Siderius established the five rings at the same time around the psyche of the Chaos Hound. Then he jumped inside the Alchemical Palace to quickly dissolve the psychosis.

He successfully dissolved all psychosis within a day, marking the completion of Odora III.

His agility, strength, and stamina were all increased by five points because of the mutation.

Along with that, he had gained another artificial mutation. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

He named this ability Hostility Sense.

The Chaos Hound was able to smell hostility from other creatures toward it. Siderius had inherited this ability from it.

For his current supreme perception, this ability wasn’t that good but at least it gave very good attributes enhancement.

At night, Siderius opened his eyes and breathed out.

"Finally, Odora is completed. There are only Tengura and Ultima left."

Odora was harder to find but Tengura was very easy. Siderius had already found suitable candidates for his first Tengura.

Tengura had many ways to build. Offensive, Defensive, or Utility.

Siderius had his eyes on a certain dragon and its scale. The scale of the dragon was the hardest thing possible in the natural world.

For a Rank-2 Alchemist, Rank-1 Witch Hunter, and Rank-2 Spirit Swordsman like him, fighting a dragon would be a flip of a coin.

The result of the battle would be determined by how old the dragon was.

The older it was, the stronger it would be. A dragon with a few decades in its years would be powerful enough to kill even Rank-3 Witch Hunter. Witch Hunter simply didn’t have a good way to hurt a dragon.

Spirit Swordsman, however, had more than enough damage to get over that hard scale.

"The Dark Ice coven had a dragon as their pet. They are in the Hallow Lands. We haven’t been able to establish connection with the Hallow Lands because the baron over there still had very good control over it."

Varick Hallolass was killed by Siderius. He was the previous Baron of the Hallow Lands. After his death, his friend had risen up and taken his place.

If Siderius wanted to unite the North, he needed to take over the Hallow Lands. That territory was also the direct connection to Everia as well. Siderius had connections in Everia. The prince of House Argentius was with him. Quinlan was an influential merchant. Regulus showed interest in joining him.

With a few more nudges, Siderius could see himself building a force in Everia as well. Hallow Lands would be a great bridge to do that.

"I need to attack the Hallow Lands. But first, I need to get rid of the head of the snake."

The head of the snake, or rather, the witches that could change the tide of battle was two groups.

One was the Baron and his men.

Two were the Dark Ice Coven.

"It is time for an assassination mission. Kraus would be good in joining this mission. I also need to prepare a fast striking force to take out the Baron as well."

For the next few days, Siderius prepared the plans and a small troop to follow him into the Hallow Lands.

He didn’t use outside troops but rather bringing his own 300 men, including soldiers and Knights.

These first 300 soldiers would be the foundation for a larger army in the future. But to be able to achieve that, these 300 men must know the true smell of war.

Siderius and Roland spent these last few days to finish their agreement with other noble houses. At the moment, the Collector of the North had joined them and would cover their tracks, they still had some time before the Royal Court would figure out everything.

So Siderius and the other Noble Houses had decided to lay low for a moment and prepare their armies.

Siderius told the Noble Houses about the Hallow Lands and quickly convinced them into sending soldiers to the border of the Hallow Lands.

Siderius didn’t need them to attack but only to take over. After the heads of the Hallow Lands were dead, the remaining forces would not surrender so easily. That was when these Noble Houses came into handy.

A week later, the small legion of Santa Roberto was ready to take off.

Nadia was the general. She led a legion that had a lot of former miners. Henry and Roland led the 2nd legion. The second legion had less soldiers but each soldier was much more dangerous than the first legion. They could be called the elite legion.

Siderius sat on his horse, looking over to the horizon.

The four apprentices approached him.

"Master!" They said in unison.

"How are all of you these days?"

"I have finished the second Ocula, Master. After this mission, I will graft the third one." Ashe said gently.

"I am still stuck on the first Ocula, Master." Henry said.

"Me too." Rea said.

"Hehe. I have reached the second Ocula." Roland said.

"You all did very well. Don’t feel defeated just because the others are ahead of you. You must look after and protect each other. In time, we will all see each other at the top."

The four apprentices smiled and nodded.

"As you said, Master." They said in unison.

A crow landed onto Siderius’ shoulder. On its leg was a small piece of paper. Siderius removed the piece of paper and read its content.

"Kraus has located the targets." Siderius said. "It’s time."

Ashe unsheathed her sword and turned to the soldiers behind, "Are you ready, soldiers?!"

"Aye!"

"March forward!"

The army of 300 men advanced. Their feet stomped the ground like an earthquake.

People in Santa Roberto watched as the army slowly disappeared in the far distance.
