Will of chaos

After making the proposal to the woman named Alessandra she started to cry as she took my hand, her eyes were still full of madness, but this time what I saw inside them was not hate or anger, it was sadness, when she started crying didn’t stop, after a long time, she simply lost consciousness in my arms while crying.

“This Duke really managed to piss me off this time.” (I)

As I hugged this woman I noticed how thin her body was, moreover I could tell she was as strong as an average person, but when I used my ability to “Identify” her to see her status I was surprised at what I saw.

She had high stats for intelligence, defense, and vitality which filled me with fury as I knew the way to increase stat was to train those physical traits.

This means that to increase defense you have to be beaten and to increase vitality you must be on the verge of death if that weren’t enough the jobs she had in her history were slave, maid, and torturer.

I couldn’t even think what this woman had to go through to get these jobs, but when I checked the titles my fury reached a level I haven’t felt since Diana’s life was in danger during the zombies’ mission to the Valen City of the Trigan Kingdom.

Alessandra’s Titles:

[ Duchess ]

[ Garius’ Slave ]

[ Garius Toy ]

[ Garius’ Pet ]

[ Crazy ]

[ Lonely ]

[ Broken Person ]

[ Survivor ]

[ Demon’s Will ]

[ Vidark Believer the Demon God of Vengeance ]

Seeing these titles made me want to meet this Duke Garius in person to do with him what he never thought possible, I will not allow this bastard to die even if he begs to do so.

When I saw almost all of his abilities were resistance to different types of poisons, resistance to physical blows, resistance to spells, resistance to different elements, resistance to diseases, resistance to hunger, resistance to fear, resistance to pain, etc.

All these resistance skills were maxed or close to that, plus she had the “insane mind” skill also maxed out, I can’t even tell how she managed to survive.

All I know is that I was filled with fury and bloodlust that I hoped I wouldn’t feel again, I didn’t even know this woman, but what she went through is inexplicable, these skills and titles have no reason to be carried by an ordinary person.

When I was almost losing control of my emotions I felt two different energies envelop my body calming me down, I could feel that these energies carried the presence of the Goddesses Selene and Aine, it must have come from my blessings.

After I’ve calmed down a bit I hold this woman in my arms while I finish stealing everything from the vault, library, secret room, and kitchen.

Leonardo was the one who renovated this castle too and he was the one who told me all the secrets of this place, after stealing everything I deactivate the barrier and leave to leave the city to the meeting point where I stay silent waiting for everyone to return.

———–

After a long time of waiting, everyone came back so I open the Dungeon to enter, I leave the woman in Nix’s arms talking to find a room for her in the mansion, as soon as everyone is inside the Dungeon I close the gate and go look for a safe place to plan our next step.

After two hours I find a cave in a cliff wall more than ten meters high, I go flying there and find it was empty luckily, so I close the cave entrance with earth element magic and then open the Dungeon gate to get in.

———-

When I arrive at the mansion Freya stops me and pulls me into a separate room as she has a serious expression on her face.

“Where did you find this woman?” (Freya)

“She is the wife of the Duke of this place.” (I)

“Wife…” (Freya)

This was the first time I’ve seen a look of fury on Freya’s normally calm face, she seems surprised by what I said while having a murderous look on her face. ．𝗻𝐞𝘁

“You may remember that the Duke is an extremist Demon who hates Humans, so why would he marry a Human?” (I)

“…” (Freya)

“When Nix brought her in, I was the one who took her to the bath luckily, I wouldn’t want Caryna to see what I witnessed.” (Freya)

“I can imagine, I’ve seen her status, from her titles and abilities I know her body won’t show even half of the suffering and humiliation she went through.” (I)

“Have you found this Duke?” (Freya)

“No, otherwise I would have brought him back with me.” (I)

“What are you going to do with her?” (Freya)

“She’s going to live here, you haven’t seen her eyes, she’s not going to be able to live a normal life, I thought this weird, messy place would be better for her.” (I)

“That’s not what I meant, I want to know if the master is going to use his skills on her?” (Freya)

“…” (I)

“I don’t know…” (I)

As I waited for the others to return from the attack on the city I thought about what I should do with her, but even now I’m very confused about what I should do.

“Your skill of hers could fix her body, I saw how the master breathed new life into Layla, Sophia, Samira, and Jade.” (Freya)

“This time it’s different.” (I)

“Because it’s different?” (Freya)

“Why is she going to turn into a Demon if I use my skill on her.” (I)

“She holds even more darkness inside her than érica did when I first met her.” (I)

“But I heard that you were able to take the darkness out of an Elf who had suffered at the hands of pirates.” (Freya)

“Can’t you do the same for her? Can’t you take away this darkness?” (Freya)

“There is a difference, the Elf of the time was being consumed by despair, he rejected this darkness.” (I)

“But this woman accepts that darkness, she clings to that darkness tightly, I think that’s what kept her alive, it was that hatred that kept her alive until now.” (I)

“…” (Freya)

“I don’t know if she would want to become a Demon, she doesn’t seem to hold a grudge against the Demon race itself, but I don’t know what would happen if she were a Demon herself.” (I)

Sigh

“In my long life, I’ve seen people like her, but never in such a bad state, I wish I could help her in some way.” (Freya)

“So help, when she wakes up treat her like you treat everyone, that will be enough until she decides what she wants to do.” (I)

“Regardless of what I think is right or wrong, the decision still belongs to her, I will leave the choice in her hands.” (I)

“Wouldn’t it be better to turn her into a Vampire?” (Freya)

“I don’t know if it would help, my ability will still burn the darkness inside her and turn it into power that will be returned to her.” (I)

“She’s going to end up turning into some kind of Vampire Demon.” (I)

“But that wouldn’t be better, at least she would have a father and siblings who could be an emotional support for her, just like Erica used you for emotional support.” (Freya)

“érica did that for you?” (I)

“No, Diana was the one who said that to me when she was drunk.” (Freya)

“I’ll give her that option too, but it’s her decision.” (I)

“But one thing that won’t change is that when I find this Duke I’ll leave it in her hands, no one else has the right to punish him.” (I)

“I can’t tell if it would help her or take her even deeper.” (Freya)

“I don’t even know if it’s right, but she needs it to move on.” (I)

It seems Freya was very affected by what she saw while giving Alessandra a bath, but I can understand her, I felt the same way when I saw her status.

———-

After talking with Freya for a while, I went to meet the others to find out how we would get to the next town, during the meeting we decided to continue on foot with me taking turns with Nix to the next town, but that will still take a week.

I also told everyone about Alessandra, Sapphira showed respect by saying that she admired Alessandra for surviving so long and still having the will to fight, Jade had the same opinion as to her mother.

Others had similar opinions, those different were Ivan, Vanessa, Lyra, and Leo who showed revulsion against the Demon who did this to Alessandra as well as pity for what happened to her.

Elsaris didn’t show anything like her children, but Samira was crying, Caryana wasn’t here luckily, but Freya will tell her daughter about it later in a way that’s easier for her daughter to understand.

The people who had the strangest reactions were Layla and érica, they had an evil gleam in their eyes but didn’t say anything.

érica looked in my direction and it looked like she knew what I was planning to do, she said she wanted to talk to Alessandra, I didn’t know if it would be right to do that but I thought it would be good to find out how she reacts around a Demon who is not did anything to her.

I told about her only superficially, I avoided talking about her titles, abilities, and scars, these are things I shouldn’t reveal without Alessandra’s permission, I just wanted others to know a little about her so I could help her in her adaptation to living here.

After the meeting was over I went to take a shower and then I tried to sleep, but I couldn’t, what happened today made me lose my sleep.
