The Noble Lady of Lust
Chapter 243: Point of No Return

Chapter 243: Point of No Return

While they would have eventually made their way into the city and invaded it, my plan was to use them only as a distraction. I realized that it would be difficult to escape undetected, with so many factors at play.

Even without counting on Akihara or Vey, it would be complicated, as my little platinum ticket is more important than I thought.

Even at this point, the more I investigated, both my main self, and number two, the more we realized that the lord of the city, although not directly involved in the war, had a considerable force under his command.

He was careful about the matter of my little platinum ticket, to the point of even putting it under Akihara’s surveillance in some way. Although the latter didn’t seem interested, having it under her radar was the best security.

I still didn’t understand, though even without my intervention, the humans had managed to invade the city where Akihara was.

If she had acted, someone like her would be in the reports, but she didn’t and there was no mention at all of someone strong like her that’s why I was so surprised when I saw her for the first time.

With her present it should be impossible to conquer the city, although there could be reasons.

First, because she was more disinterested than I thought and stood aside and did nothing even when her supposed husband was about to die, during this invasion.

The second reason was that she was not there at the time the humans arrived. The last possibility was that the humans had someone of her caliber to defeat her.

But the great general was the ultimate strength, and he only had the strength of Vey. In that range, strength can vary greatly, and Vey is at the top of that range.

I myself tried to find out more of the situation on this side, but apparently we had no further backup. This was the strongest kingdom on the continent, and the rest had only sent troops.

I already knew that some generals were from other kingdoms, which, although they did not care much about the prince. They had to collaborate to gain access to the rift, which was a paradise of resources.

Well, how them handled matters is also none of my business, the good thing is that everything flowed well. Now, although it was a little later than I originally thought, as the troops had to rest, everything was fine enough. Even with a day to spare.

’haaah...I just hope there are no more unforeseen events...shit because I keep fucking creating flags’.

..

.

"Attack! Mages, cast purification spells, and purify this tainted mana Heavy infantry, stand your ground!"

Those were the first orders as we emerged from the rift. We had already done reconnaissance, albeit at the cost of many soldiers’ lives, and we understood that as soon as we passed the rift they would attack us with everything from the fortress.

That is why our side was as defensive as possible, with infantry carrying large shields and armor, which had effects to cover us from various defensive attacks and so on.

In addition, the casters, on the part of the army mages, were temporarily walking walls. Not only that, but due to the difference in mana between the worlds (being that of the demonic world a bit more chaotic), it had to be purified a bit to use it properly.

We were now in the enemy’s territory, but we did not retreat. We were very prepared, and the heavy infantry advanced slowly while being reinforced by the mages.

Now, in addition to arranging the escape route of the main body, more than once, number two had gone out of the city and, in advance, had scanned the situation of the fortress and gathered information.

I contributed something during the councils of war, to be taken into account in the plans, saying that it was thanks to ’my father’, who was already on the other side and contacted me with a special method of our family.

When the whole army finally had room to get out of the crack, the plan began. In the back, ten eighth metamorphosis mages began to activate a magic circle, with a red stone in the center.

I found it curious, because it was basically the same thing they used to attack the academy, only this was of a much higher quality, for i are not difficult to create , while I have materials, and in fact the gem I use to communicate with the twins, work in a similar way, but with other functions persoanlizadas.

Krrrzzhhhhhhhkk.... Vwommm.... crakkc.....crakc....

At that moment, the stone broke and began to make a crack in the red space, from which three men emerged. They didn’t look very old, and appeared to be the same age as Philip, but that’s natural, since, considering that life expectancy when you enter their range grows exponentially, even if they are over a hundred years old they would look relatively young.

Now, the crack was closed. The blond-haired, green-eyed fellow in front started talking to Philip. I knew he was the big general, since, basically, except for the color of his eyes, he was identical to Philips.

They quickly came to an agreement. The old man spoke to the two men who came with him and Philip.

The latter pointed to me, the Great General scrutinized up and down. Honestly, because I do not attract much attention with my glasses and hairstyle, it is difficult to see the state of people as I am not so conspicuous.

Of the few generals I saw, one was the fat greasy one, and again I regret my bad luck to draw the attention of the worst perverts, even being in disguise, so as not to draw attention to myself.

’haaa~ what’s the difference it doesn’t matter anyway I wouldn’t like to be looked at with lust by some old men’.

..

.

’Number one?’

’Now.’

BOOOOM!

Just as I was about to warn the real me, he spoke to me first. This was the first attack and a surprise attack on the south side of the city.

One third, under the leadership of one of the men who came with the big general, discreetly organized a group of 5,000 army elites, all with at least 5 metamorphoses.

We veered off and took a great detour around the fortress. It was something that normally wouldn’t be done, because if the attack on the fortress failed, we would be isolated. If the fortress had room to maneuver, they could attack us and wipe us out.

We had to be as cautious as possible, but number two had already established a route that was relatively difficult to detect, and I, who was in front, dodged or destroyed all the detection alarms that the demons had set up.

We had to be careful, but by the time the night was almost over we were able to reach the city undetected and began the attack, just in time for my original self to finish incapacitating Akihara and Vey.

The city’s army was alone with the city lord’s personal forces, which numbered no more than ten thousand. Although this was high for a city lord, it had to be kept in mind that this city would be the second defensive bastion if the fortress fell, and received this privilege from the kingdom.

Now, well, most things were already done. I looked at the defensive wall and they already seemed ready.... Well, although it was a surprise attack it was not so much because I myself, or number two had warned through the informants this attack, the reason was to give space to my main self, to act.

However, even so it was considered a surprise since we did not give them enough time to prepare thoroughly.

Now, number two, who was doing the intermediate preparations, was in charge of preparing the escape path for my original self. I was also working with informants to keep the citizens from getting involved in what was about to happen.

Although I knew that a war was a heavy thing soldiers understood, the possibility, of death and like those who walk the path of force were prepared.

But it was another thing for innocent civilians to be harmed for my purposes. My alternate self through his memories taught me strongly, that while the path of slaughter to the top was inevitable, I could not be indifferent to the lives of others.

I could not be indifferent, at least, to those I can save, and those who do not deserve it, especially if they are in danger because of me. That’s why number two had taken care of that.

I already had many plans and backups, and in none of those plans would normal people, demons or not, be harmed.

..

My thoughts on the situation stopped when I finally located who I was looking for I saw the lord of the city, I didn’t know him personally, but number two I had seen his portrait, and besides he was with that damned Eryk, who almost put an arrow through my head a few days ago.

I hadn’t seen him again, but at least I was reassured that he was here. It would be a problem if he wasn’t, as far as I knew, he was supposed to be the top force in the city.

All the soul conversion people of the kingdom army, which was four people on the demon side, should be in the fortress dealing with the great general and the main army, there were four of them but they were all in the first rank.

But suddenly there was a worrying movement. I was paying special attention to Eryk, and I saw how he received a communication and spoke through the communication device, angry.

A moment later he informed the lord of the city , who became nervous and sent him pointing towards the residence. Eryk nodded and left.

..

Well, now this was going to get complicated, and it seemed that even my little Platinum ticket even in this situation had priority.

’haaa...well at least, I tried’.

Now, they did not need me, as they did not need to destroy the barriers; this attack was simply a distraction so that my so-called father could act.

So I had received permission to stay behind once I finished leading them.

What could I say? Apparently, I had gained their trust over the past few days. If there was no need to break through the barriers, then I was just dead weight they had to keep alive to get their prince back.

Now I was only in the rear, surrounded by four warriors who functioned as walls around me in all four directions.

They were my defense against any danger, but perhaps they were also there to prevent me from escaping or doing something funny.

That meant they still didn’t trust me, which I was relieved about, because from the beginning I never thought of helping them get anyone back.

The prince was dead, and I had no leeway to rescue the general’s son. This was all for my own personal gain, and it was time to betray them. I feel like the villain, but I can live with that.

"Ha~"

’Vox Umbrarum’,

"Obscura Essentia"

A spell was formed that caused silence around me and another that hides the mana I emit, it was fortunate that the four, squires none of them looked in my direction, but I felt their senses glued to my presence, but I did not care.

"Universum mihi pareat,

leges spatii et temporis flectantur,

nexus inter loca remota formetur,

et iter meum ultra fines cognitos ducam!

Per vim meam, sine errore, sine periculo,

sine termino, ordo rerum conservetur,

corpus meum intactum permaneat,

anima mea non dividatur!

Aperi mihi portam inter mundos,

transgrediar ab initio usque ad finem,

dissolvam vincula vincula loci et superabo limites aeternitatis.!

"PORTA DIMENSIONAL" (Dimensional Gateway.)

As I finished, a barely stable crack formed behind me and, before the guys around me noticed anything unusual, I quickly changed my skill to Doppelganger and created a clone, as a Doppelganger.

I only had 50% power and lacked skills, but it would serve to replace me long enough .

I left it there and quickly jumped into the crevice immediately everything went quickly and smoothly, maybe the guys who were guarding me and had fixed my presence noticed something strange and turned around, but with my dopelganger there, they would only think it was their imagination.

I was finally done with this side and now I had to be ready, my work was not done yet, not until my main self returned home safely.
