The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 203: My lucky golden ticket.

I quickly searched through the memories I took from the guy I’m supplanting. Before I had only skimmed through to find out his name and affiliation, thinking that was all that was necessary.

Now I had to search him thoroughly, to find out what he was referring to quickly. Many memories flooded my mind.

If it was when I had just one metamorphosis, I might have vomited from the information overload, but now it was different.

I quickly pushed aside his entire childhood and the fact that this particular breed was born as if they were potatoes, which was curious to see.

And, how even though it wasn’t necessary, the guy had found love and planned to marry a girl who had a mask just like him, since she was of the same race.

Yeah now I feel a little bad, but then I saw how this race liked to make sacrifices to grow in power and I saw that it was a tradition for the women to sacrifice the husband on the same wedding night, and I got over it.

I finally found the memories I needed, and before the guy in front of me did anything, because his face now had serious suspicions towards me, I pulled something out of storage that I’m going to throw away later, since there’s a lot of stuff in there that I honestly don’t even want to look at.

I knew this breed was especially peculiar, but now I’m regretting pulling out his memories, and I think it will leave me with traumas. Luckily, there was a soul magic that could wipe memories. Once I don’t need them, I’ll erase them forever.

Concentrating and extracting the demonic mana whose source was now the stone in my chest, I put it on the card, which made a hologram and began to display information about me, and it matched what I had previously said.

These guys were even more advanced in this regard than the humans in the other realm, I didn’t think they would have this kind of magical technology.

”Hum, right. You will be fined for abandoning the assignment, but since it has justification, it will be alleviated a bit. Are you okay with this?”

”Yes...”

”Good, you can come in. Someone will soon come and guide you.”

He didn’t even doubt me, despite being masked, nor did he make me take off my mask, and that’s the reason I chose this species.

It was a race that was born of the cursed earth and carried a curse all their lives, but they also developed a natural restraining mechanism: the mask.

This began to grow at puberty, and the mask contained and absorbed the curse they carried.

This is why it is known that you should never ask this species to remove its mask. Not counting their natural curse, the one accumulated in the mask is something that is not known exactly how dangerous it is.

That is why no madman would impersonate them, and wear their masks, which are unmistakable because of the aura they emit.

..

Following his instructions, I passed what looked like the second line of defense and crossed a bridge connecting two mountains. As I looked down, only a dark abyss loomed in sight.

It made me wonder how humans could get past this, and looking ahead I saw a second wall with cannons and such on its second wall.

’Humm, if I want them to be of help, then a way must be found. No...., maybe they already have it.’

I kept gathering as much information as I could while looking at the surroundings of this fortress .

”hey keep walking, why are you stopping”.

”o sorry I got a little distracted.”

But I wasn’t the only one . While the demons didn’t seem to be actively recruiting mercenaries, there were certainly a decent amount, and I wasn’t the only one who wanted to leave, because it seemed like we had a lot of disadvantage in this war and it wasn’t worth risking so much of our lives for money.

Or at least, that’s what most of the retreating mercenaries are thinking. Some may be survivors of larger groups and lost important comrades. Anyway, the more demons we retreated, the better.

On the way, I saw how many soldiers and knights looked at me and the whole group with disapproving faces, but I easily ignored them.

I had to go through two more checkpoints. Luckily, I had all the bases covered, the anti-human barriers were very powerful and advanced even with all my knowledge and Elena’s help it would be difficult, without spending a lot of time, resources and effort, that’s why I didn’t bring anyone else with me.

On the way I saw known demons of the identity I am using, but luckily the aura was gloomy and silent, as no one was happy to retreat, as they would lose money and be called cowards, who chose life over their race.

And luckily no one approached me until the end, I didn’t want to inspect the memories of that guy again, I barely and have restrained myself from throwing up, before.

..

.

I was finally able to cross to the other side of the portal. I took a deep breath and noticed again that there was a change in the mana in the air.

It was a more turbulent and chaotic mana, but my body, currently that of a demon, was receiving it well. I looked ahead and, again, a fortress was some distance away.

We didn’t have to do any more procedures. Without entering the fortress, they let us go without caring what we did next.

Of the few things I know about what I knew, I alternate about where my platinum ticket was located.

The second ideal scenario is that he was in the middle of escaping his family, and the third and most difficult is that He should be held by the lord of the border city to the in-between world, basically the nearest city, to the rift, ignoring the fortress I just passed that was exclusively for military use.

The schedules have gotten a bit convoluted for me, as I don’t remember when I arrived, but in the middle world it was still daytime. As far as I know it was always reverse of the schedules of both worlds and, by the fact that I see a light on the horizon, which, if I’m not mistaken, is sunrise.

In this world the sunlight was grayish and although for those of this world it would be a beautiful clear day, from my point of view the sky gave the sensation of being eternally cloudy because of the opacity and the grayish color.

Honestly, in my opinion, I feel that it is a sad and dark world, but not enough to have complaints. If I am not mistaken, it is now Monday and the second day.

I haven’t slept, but now I can sustain several days without. Sure, the mental drain doesn’t make it worth it, but if it’s for one night, that’s okay. With that in mind, I went with the flow of people.

If they’re going somewhere, it’s probably the city. I watched along the way as people who looked like the reinforcements made their way to the fortress, from infantry to mounted cavalry, as well as several wagons that looked like they were carrying important people.

Finally, after two hours of walking at the leisurely pace of the group I followed so as not to attract attention, I caught a glimpse of the city.

”Well, I think this is the city of Tyravok. I got here many days earlier than I thought.”

Arriving so quickly made me think positively. In fact, it was only the second day and I was already halfway there. After all, maybe giving William so many beatings made some of his luck rub off on me somehow.

’Not for nothing is he my lucky golden ticket.’

...

..

.

’Fuck, William! I curse you and your fucking luck.’

I cursed William and his luck, which now I definitely didn’t want to have, the reason being the being in front of me.

”Glup.”

Now I remembered that, accompanied with William’s luck for fortunate events, there were also unforeseen and unfortunate events. Although it is still a kind of luck, as it made him stronger when he went through it.

But looking at that state, I can’t even imagine how the hell I’m going to win against that, and I definitely don’t have William’s protagonist power, What I had in front of me was not something I could handle at all.

This world is not gentle at all, and in an oversight, it shows you its fangs. When I got here I thought I was prepared, but I had underestimated what this plan of mine really entailed, and I should have taken into account that something like this could happen when I decided to execute it.

And by rushing it, I ended up having in front of me someone with whom, no matter how hard I look, we are nowhere near being in the same league.

’What was my status again? I think I’m barely hitting two hundred.’

I realized that his stats were so high that even if I added up the values of mine with demonization and resonance activated, which was the strongest I’ve ever been, I couldn’t even get to his lowest stat.

I felt insignificant and oppressed in front of her. It seemed like a losing battle.

’Fuck it all, if I’m going to die, I’m taking her with me. It’s all or nothing, I’ll never know if I don’t try, it’s just numbers, I can do it, I’m not going to let her bully me.’

But I couldn’t go on like that. I auto-suggested, and determinedly prepared myself to face the biggest challenge I’ve had so far. I stepped forward and...

smack!

But before I even took a step, a dull thud sounded. I barely understood that I was the recipient of the blow which was on my cheek. It was so quick and decisive that I couldn’t even react until the pain hit.

”Did I say you could move?”

Came the authoritative voice of the woman, who was at least two heads bigger than me at this point.

I wonder if this is how Eira feels when she has to look me in the face. Now I understand a little how she always seems angry at everyone. Poor thing must feel oppressed being small.

’Humm... That’s probably why Chihuahuas are also.... No, concentrate, this is no time to think about nonsense.’

That blow was so strong that I ended up thinking about the fragility of the Chihuahuas’ existence, but finally I put my thoughts in order, I had to worse all my attention and concentration on how to overcome this situation, In which I got myself, myself, when only two and a half days ago, I was just looking for my platinum ticket, without thinking that I would meet in front of such a big wall.
