Pov Lilian:
I was surprised that one of my students was among the captured people, out of all of them Horn 2 has always been the best when it comes to infiltration, that’s because he is from the race of Demon Shapeshifters, and his ability allows him to change his own appearance, but unfortunately only the appearance changes.
He was the most difficult to train, changing his appearance takes great concentration and mental discipline, and just having the skill is not enough, in addition, I had to train his observation and spying skills.
I had to train him to be able to change his voice, and accent, change his way of moving and speaking was also very difficult.
I taught him to watch his targets to learn everything he can before taking their places, I had to teach him to choose his targets well, that’s why he had to choose targets that had some abilities similar to himself.
Of all my students, he was the most studious as he needs a great deal of comprehensive knowledge when taking someone else’s place.
“Mom, are you sure you’re going to do this?” (Horn 2)
“The plan may be simple, but it will work.” (I)
“Not all plans need to be complex.” (I)
“But you will be in danger if…” (Horn 2)
“Don’t say any more, I know what I’m doing, I’m over 4 times your age.” (I)
“…” (Horn 2)
“You should focus on yourself, get back to your appearance soon while I warn others about you.” (I)
“You know, I don’t really like the way I look…” (Horn 2)
“This is normal for your race, but it’s wrong.” (I)
“Now I have to go, before I do anything I need to notify High Priestess Vanessa and the Holy Child.” (I)
“They need to know about you and the current situation.” (I)
He was really lucky this time, Nix could have just killed him, I have to warn others about my students, especially the Holy Son.
“I’m leaving, I’ll tell Lilith not to torture you.” (I)
“Thank you so much for that, that Demon woman scares me.” (Horn 2)
“Is it her eyes?” (I)
“Of course I do, those eyes full of insanity and madness can’t be copied, a person shouldn’t even have eyes like that, how do you let someone like that run wild?” (Horn 2)
“I know she can be intimidating and scary at times, but Lilith is very considerate of the people she cares about.” (I)
I talk to him as I walk towards the door, I know he hates dealing with people like Lilith, people he wouldn’t be able to copy the looks of, almost every time I ask because of something like the person’s natural presence or their eyes, the eyes are full of meaning, they show a lot about the person, my student always had difficulty with this part as he needed to understand things for his skill to work.
But I think trying to understand a madman can be a very difficult task.
I leave the room and go talk to Lilith.

POV of a psychopath:
It took me a little but Finally, I found her, I couldn’t imagine what I would feel to see her again, it was so long, it was 825 years, 7 months, 16 days, and 2 hours.
It’s been such a long time, she’s looking so pretty, while I now have a lot of gray hair and my appearance is a little older than I was back then, I must thank you for my curse skills, thanks to that I stole enough vitality to live 500 more years easily.
“(How I would like to run to you right now, rip off your limbs and use your own claws to open your chest, make you slowly taste your own insides…)” (I)
I had to contain my emotion at meeting her, I can’t let her see me or feel my murderous intent.
After several hours I follow her to a mansion, this is excellent.
These mansions are located in less populated areas of the city, in addition, they usually have barriers around them to prevent invasions, knowing that they may even have barriers to prevent magical espionage.
I didn’t get close and I could feel the barriers, I only needed a few seconds to confirm my hypothesis.
“I knew I would be right, even after 825 years still the same, old habits of those who work in the criminal underworld.” (I)
These barriers are all at SS Grade at least, it seems that there is something of value in the mansion, that means there will be few people and they will all be slaves, she always did things like that because she didn’t trust anyone.
“< Open Barrier > ×2” (I)
To cross a barrier is not difficult, either you break it with superior power head on, or with superior knowledge, unfortunately, these barriers were made with great dexterity, but people were weaker than me, moreover, it seems to have been made by a scholar since their weaknesses are so predictable.
I use my mana on my finger tips and hit 37 different points in a certain order, this interrupts the flow of mana in the barrier in an area of ??the barrier creating a hole where I walk, in a few minutes this hole will close.
“It was harder than I remembered, maybe it’s rusty.” (I)
“< Presence of the Damned >” (I)
I cast a spell on myself, a kind of curse that I can undo at any time, this curse is using my vitality to function instead of using my mana, but that amount of vitality doesn’t matter to me.
I start to walk calmly towards the mansion, on the way I didn’t see any guards, but there were some maids, they were of several different races, they were all pretty and wore maid robes while doing chores.
Anyone would think they would be employed without noticing their hidden Auras so perfectly, their way of moving is like that of someone trained for combat.
As I walk they all ignore me, they all turn away when I pass by, that’s the effect of this curse, they choose not to look at me.
With that I walk until I reach a room that looks like an office, the door is half open but I can feel the protection magic on the door, this seems to be a trap but it must be paid for by me.
I can see Ellen sitting inside looking at a book in her hand while standing by the bookshelf, she was beautiful but all I felt in my heart was the desire to make her suffer in the cruelest way possible. 𝗼𝘃𝗹.𝗼𝐫𝗴
A smile forms on my face as I enter the room, her eyes blurring before disbelief takes over her face.
“(As I waited for this.)” (I)
