Book 5: Chapter 51: Thousands In The World Who Share The Same Name

“How despicable of you to play such a petty trick!”

Lilith glared at Lacey, her beautiful eyes burning with rage as she launched an attack at Lacey. Eerie black threads came out of the roughly stitched doll and Lilith’s movements immediately became stiff and unnatural. Like a wooden puppet, she abruptly froze in an odd punching stance.

Lacey watched Lilith’s fist come to a halt just a few centimeters from his forehead, and he finally felt a sense of relief. Fortunately, the dragon princess could still be controlled by his doll.

As Lacey let out a sigh of relief, blood in his chest churned and his wound started throbbing again. He forced himself to swallow a large amount of blood that had risen to his throat and quickly retrieved a magic potion from his storage ring to heal himself. After gulping it down, he managed to suppress the injuries in his body. He stood up with much difficulty and laughed.

“So what if you’re the dragon princess? You’re still going to die by my hands!”

“Despicable! Shameless!”

“Hmph, from your perspective, I’m the villain. Being called despicable and shameless is the highest praise for a villain, don’t you agree, Princess Leonith?” Lacey sneered as he reached out to touch Lilith’s delicate face. He had to admit that it was very rare to find someone who looked just as beautiful as himself, but he was also grateful that someone as exquisite as Lilith had fallen into his grasp.

Looking at the contemptuous smile on Lacey’s face, Lilith pursed her lips in frustration and spat, “If you think you’re so strong, then fight me! Let’s talk with our fists instead of resorting to petty tactics.”

“Oh, I wouldn’t dream of challenging Your Highness to a physical fight.”

Lacey was left feeling extremely satisfied seeing how badly Lilith wanted to beat him into a pulp but was unable to. He could even forget about the internal injuries he suffered, which nearly destroyed his organs.

“Wait and see how I’m going to transform you into a stunning beauty and make you my puppet.”

Lacey gently touched the doll’s forehead with his fingertips. His eyes glazed over and became as vacant as the doll’s. In response, his body began to glow in the same dark light as the doll, and they appeared to be resonating with each other. The light around them pulsed rhythmically along with his breathing.

Strange energy fluctuations started to emanate from the two of them and gradually spread outward. This must be what Lacey had mentioned earlier when he said he hadn’t had the chance to completely control Kieran yet. Once the ugly doll could deeply control Kieran, Kieran would be permanently reduced to Lacey’s puppet, losing ownership of his own body forever.

The most terrifying aspect was the fact that his consciousness would be trapped within his own body, condemned to eternal solitude and darkness while witnessing Lacey ruthlessly making his body do things that go against his will and desires.

To Lacey, that was immense joy and he would now take this joy to the next level as his current target was none other than the dragon princess. His desire to make someone as noble as her to do things she would rather not do continued to intensify.

Lilith’s trembling lips betrayed her fear. “Wait… No…!”

She could already envision her future of becoming a mere toy for Lacey. As a dragon princess, an outcome like this was worse than dying. Unfortunately, she could not even kill herself.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Hehe, it’s too late for you now. You’re about to experience a living hell.”

Lacey shut his eyes and focused his mind on the doll, causing the energy around them to fluctuate even more intensely. After a while, he finally noticed a shining golden light.

That was Lilith’s spiritual world, which was completely unguarded.

Spiritual worlds were extremely important to any living being with consciousness. Any harm inflicted upon this spiritual world could result in memory loss or a decline in intelligence. In severe cases, it could even lead to a permanent mental shutdown. Thus, living beings had a natural instinct to protect their spiritual world. Spiritual worlds typically had a protective layer that became increasingly resilient as the living being grew stronger.

Under the control of Lacey’s doll on a superficial level, the defenses of a person’s spiritual world were greatly weakened. They became as vulnerable as a mortal, so even a slightly skilled sensory-type magician could easily invade their spiritual world and wreak havoc in it.

This was the doll’s most terrifying ability, which allowed Lacey to have complete control over his opponents.

Now, he was just one step away from the door to Lilith’s spiritual world. Lacey suppressed the excitement in his heart and concentrated, forming his consciousness into a thin black thread. He followed the pathway created by the doll and began to infiltrate Lilith’s spiritual world.

Pop! Lacey heard a sound as if a bubble had burst in his mind. He was taken aback by the fact that the protective layer of Lilith’s spiritual world was weaker than he had anticipated.

Even so he did not dwell on it too much as his doll had never failed before. He simply assumed that Lilith was only a brute who focused on enhancing her physical abilities while disregarding her mental prowess.

Now, onto the main event…

Upon Lacey’s successful infiltration into Lilith’s spiritual world, black threads began to spread throughout the world like the roots of a tree. As Lacey took control of Lilith’s spiritual world, her senses were gradually transferred to his consciousness.

Lacey had taken control of Lilith’s hearing, smell, touch, sight, taste, and perception, effectively dominating all of her senses!

Now that everything was in his control, there was no way Lilith could reverse the situation, even if she was a deity!

Lacey was intoxicated by his victory.

Ah! The moment I’ve been waiting for has finally arrived! How exhilarating will it feel to make the dragon princess do this and that kind of thing? I can hardly wait to find out!

Lacey opened the eyes of the body he was controlling, instantly receiving all sorts of information from its senses.

“Let’s open the door to a whole new world!” Lacey cheered in his mind.

“Leonith, hurry up and welcome your patron~!” An extremely hoarse voice entered Lacey’s ears.

Huh? Something doesn’t feel right.

Lacey squinted and shook his head, trying to adjust to the bright colors emitted by the light stones around him. The voice he heard came from the poor quality spectrum stone.

A group of people ahead of him were all dressed flamboyantly while vigorously shaking their heads to blaring the music. The air was thick with the scent of smoke, sweat, and perfume, causing Lacey to feel nauseous.

Wait, what is this place?

Lacey’s eyes widened as he scanned his surroundings repeatedly, but he could not find any similarity to his cherished Lovetide love hotel. Instead, he found himself in what appeared to be a seedy motel situated in the remote corner of a street, surviving on shady dealings to make a profit.

No, scratch that. It IS that kind of seedy motel.

As Lacey stood frozen, a… man, wearing makeup so thick that it looked cakey, came over to Lacey and shoved him hard.

“What are you spacing out for? I’m telling you to go greet your patron, you little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲!” he said with a scowl.

It took Lacey a long time to regain composure and forcibly suppress the unsettling feelings in his heart.

“Patrons? What patron?” he cautiously asked as if he was doubting the reality around him.

The flamboyant man got angry and roughly turned Lacey’s head to the side. “Are you asking for a beating, you little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲? See that? You have a patron! She specifically asked for you! Don’t keep her waiting!”

“Patron…?”

Lacey lifted his gaze and saw the “patron”— an obese woman in her fifties, easily weighing over three hundred pounds. She wore a thick gold necklace that matched the thickness of her thumb and sat, or rather lounged, on the sofa. She beamed at him with a charming smile and even threw a flirtatious wink.

Lacey nearly choked. He suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine, leaving him feeling cold and numb from head to toe.

The flamboyant man patted Lacey’s shoulder and whispered in his ear, “Aren’t you the lucky one? The countess is known for her wealth. If you manage to please her tonight, you won’t have to worry about money for the next six months. If she falls for you, then you’ll have a comfortable life ahead of you.”
