Will of chaos

For the next few days, we had barbecues every night, the merchant always refused to participate, it seemed he thought we were all crazy for doing something like this every night.

As you would expect, some monsters always appeared in the surroundings to attack us, but they always run when I use intimidation on them.

The Gray Elf and the other Dark Elves said that there was no point in continuing to hide if everyone already knew about them.

My group and I continued to wear masks and the Guardian was sleeping wrapped around my arm like a vine all these days.

The trip was very smooth and worry-free, just as I imagined, Darcia continued to pester me, moreover, when we discovered a lake, Darcia insisted that everyone should bathe there.

But I refuse and use a potion of liquid soap in front of everyone get very clean, I would be a fool to accept the proposal of this woman who clearly has ulterior motives.

I look at her two companions, they seem like more normal people to talk to.

The man named Alan was tall at around 1.90 meters tall, he had a muscular body and had brown hair tied in a ponytail.

He was a beautiful person and he had my dream physique, I was very jealous of his body, he has everything I wanted in my own body, he is tall, has big muscles and the characteristics of his appearance are very masculine.

I was gnawing at this bastard with envy as I wondered why my luck is so bad, why I had to travel with someone who has a body like his, why I have to look the way I always wanted to look, I was so sad but didn't want to show it, luckily I managed to put those things aside for the first couple of days.

Nor can we forget about the beautiful Priestess of the God of Justice, she was a Mage, and her Aura displayed a great amount of Mana.

In addition, she was a woman with white skin, brown eyes, and hair, large curves that draw attention wherever she went.

Surprisingly she was very easy to talk to, she was also responsible for keeping Darcia from leaving her side during meals, so she has my thanks.

During those days we had simple conversations without asking where each one came from, why they are going to the village of the Elves, or who each one was.

One thing I'm sure of is that everyone knows I'm a Vampire, the Elves must have known from the start, but Alan's group seem to know from the start that Vanessa was a Vampire since they could sense her Aura, as she calls me Dad, it was easy for them to deduce that I am also a Vampire.

To do a test I drank a bottle of blood in front of everyone during the barbecue, but no one cared, it seems that Vampires aren't as hated as I initially thought.

That's how we continued our trip through the Illusory Forest, on the fifth day we left the trail we had been following until then.

When we left the trail and started walking through the forest I noticed that the landscape looked strange, it was difficult to perceive the distance from the trees as if they were moving, sometimes it seemed that there would not be enough space for the carriages to continue, but that was just a kind of illusion as if there is something interfering with our spatial perception.

On the sixth day, Sophia said that we would soon arrive at the Trees of Desire site, about 2 or 3 hours later I realize that we had arrived at the third test site.

That's because I found myself in an illusion as if I was in a wooden cabin inside a calm forest, my whole group was with me and there was nowhere we should go or anything to worry about, it was the kind of life I would be want to have.

"I'm disappointed, is this the kind of illusion I was worried about?"  (I)

I smile and shake my head in disappointment leaving the space around me shattering as it reveals that I'm still inside the carriage.

"Are you okay, Master?"  (Orion)

"Yes, the illusion didn't fool me, it just showed me something I'll never have, but want all the time."  (I)

"Why does the master say he'll never have that?"  (Orion)

"What I want is a peaceful life, but I am fully aware that this will not happen, I am a Vampire, I am the son of a Goddess, I am hated by an entire religion, I am surrounded by people that others consider strange and I have to admit that I get carried away by my curiosity doing potentially dangerous things like in Hela's case."  (I)

"For someone like me to have a quiet life is an impossibility, but wishing doesn't hurt anyone."  (I)

"I'm glad the master managed to be someone realistic."  (Orion)

"What are you talking about, am I always realistic?"  (I)

,m "A realist wouldn't even have imagined building a city inside a dungeon or creating a living Dungeon like Nix."  (Orion)

"..." (I)

"(I want to say he's wrong, but it's hard to say something when he presents such concrete facts.)" (I)

"Weren't you affected by the illusion?"  (I)

"There's nothing I want more than to serve the master, besides I'm a Divine Beast, illusions and mental effects don't work on me."  (Orion)

"How long do you think it will take for the others to wake up."  (I)

"I don't know, but I was hoping that Nix and Layla would have woken up by now."  (Orion)

"From what they're saying I don't think they want to wake up, anyway their Auras aren't getting out of control so they know they're in an illusion and they're just enjoying it."  (I)

"Mother...Father..." (Nix)

"Hahahahaha...die...die...how fun..." (Layla)

"Are you sure it's a good idea to leave them alone?"  (Orion)

"They're fine, they're just enjoying the moment each in their own way."  (I)

I look at Layla chuckling as she gives off a slight bloodlust.

"Even if they're enjoying something disturbing..." (I)

"(She must be in an illusion where she is killing multiple Necromancers.)" (I)

Pov Nix:

I know this is an illusion, but it's been so long since I've seen them, this illusion is actually an old memory that I wanted to live with again.

At that time I was still in the form of a Dragon, we were in a field of flowers watching the stars, my mother's hair always shone beautifully when the moonlight fell on her.

My father was in his human form-hugging my mother, they were always so loving in front of people, it was as if they were only able to see each other when they were around.

I remember that day perfectly, I in my Dragon form fended off the two who were smaller than me before I got sick of seeing something so gooey.

That day they laughed at me for doing this, I remember it was also that day my father said that one day I would also be able to transform into Human form, that day we could go to a city for a family outing.

I remember my mother laughing while saying that my father took her on a date in a human city in the past, but almost destroyed the whole city when a noble started hitting on her, when that noble tried to approach my mother he passed out due to My father's aura.

My mom was saying this while laughing, but my dad just said that if it hadn't been for my mom stopping him that town would have been decimated in a second.

The two were always very different, but it was always so much fun when we were together, that illusion is the closest I'll ever get to see my mother again.

"That's enough, thanks for showing me such a good memory."  (I)

I was happy while the world around me was breaking like it was as fragile as glass, when I woke up I was sitting on the floor with my head on the master's legs who caressed my head.

"By your smile, it looks like you took advantage of your illusion, so stop crying, tears don't match that smile."  (I)

Tears

I put my hand on my face and realize I was crying, I dry my tears and lay my head back on the master's legs as he continues to stroke my head.

Pov Layla:

"Hahahahaha..." (I)

How amusing, everywhere I looked there were Blackmancers trying to attack me, but none of his blows managed to hit the mighty me.

It was so much fun cutting them to pieces, burning them alive, and hearing their screams made my body tremble with emotion.

Some of them were even crying as they used their comrades' corpses to defend themselves from me.

These fools don't realize that there's no way to defend themselves from me, this illusion is amazing, I was right to let this illusion affect me, here the master won't mind if I make a big fuss.

"Die you worms... hahahahaha..." (I)

"You are all trash, you all deserve to die, so scream harder, cry more, I want to hear you begging for life like I begged for mine in my five previous lives..." (I)

I kept killing everyone, compressing the space around them into spheres of flesh or making trees grow inside their bodies was so much fun, I could stay here forever.

"Enough playing, it's time for food, wake up your little Devil..." (Zenos)

"..." (I)

I wake up and it's already night out of the carriage, everyone is looking at me as they get out of the carriage, I'm in the master's palm as he rocks me to wake up.

"I'm already awake, already awake..." (I)

"How was the massacre?"  (Zenos)

"Very fun."  (I)

"Necromancers?"  (Zenos)

"Yes."  (I)

"Now that you've had fun with your illusion, try not to be affected again, your smile was a little too distracting for others."  (Zenos)

"But it was so much fun..." (I)

"I let you have fun for hours, that's enough."  (Zenos)

"Alright... (idiot master.)" (I)
