Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong-Chapter 252: Half-Fairy and Half-Demon...

"Why hide when you are already this close? You know that I can sense your presence..."

Jareth kept staring at the boundless sky while saying those words in his usual cold tone, causing the other party to feel a bit shocked.

A woman with an extremely charming face and a curvy body appeared on the branch of a nearby tree.

Her bluish skirt swayed with the gentle breeze, and a seductive smile appeared on her face.

"This is the first time I have been spotted so easily; not even Zion could spot me when I was stalking him in the past... you are indeed very unique..."

Sitting on the branch of the tree, it was none other than Luche herself.

As she appeared in sight, all information that Jareth knew about her slowly started to come to mind.

First of all, Luche is half-fairy and half-demon.

She was created when a fairy was corrupted with dense miasma leaking out of ’Konda,’ the great calamity of the ancient times.

It would be more accurate to call her a ’succubus’ in her current state.

She has pink hair, and even her pupils are ’heart-shaped’ with dark pink in them.

Just by standing nearby she can charm most people easily; her every move is extremely seductive and plays with the heartstrings of all men.

’She’s just as much of a psychopath, though... When I played the game, she indeed seemed beautiful but after meeting Shiina, I don’t care about other women...’

’She was supposed to be pestering Zion according to the game lore.... Sigh, what a headache...’

Along with Zion, Luche is one of the survivors of the kingdom that was once destroyed by ’Konda’; she’s lived for thousands of years, and she’s been pestering Zion for thousands of years.

’I wonder if you can still call her a succubus... which succubus pesters a single person all the time instead of going to any random person she can find...’

’I guess her fairy blood still has some influence on her despite being corrupted...’

Strictly speaking, fairies are more or less immortal beings; their bodies are made up of pure condensed elementals in the first place, and they never get sick or anything, so they can live without aging at all.

Unless they are killed by external forces, it’s impossible for a fairy to die; that’s one of the reasons why Luche was able to live for so many years despite not being an elf like Zion.

In fact, she might outlive Zion in the future, as she’s simply immortal. (She’s immortal in terms of lifespan; she can still be killed if attacked by strong external forces...)

According to the game lore, she’s forgotten about her life as a fairy and doesn’t remember anything from the time before she was corrupted.

She doesn’t even know herself that she’s a half-fairy, and that’s also one of the main reasons why she didn’t stand up to protect the fairy race from going extinct.

If she knew about her own origins, she might have helped the fairy race, and perhaps she would have prevented them from going extinct at the hands of humans.

’The main problem about her is that she’s persistent and difficult to deal with...’

Unlike Zion, Luche is not the type to face her opponents fair and square.

This game had three extremely powerful bosses that you could fight.

Zareth has already dealt with the other two; he’s killed Konda and has defeated Zion once.

Konda was just a mindless fool who couldn’t even do proper chain attacks; it was just fighting on pure instinct.

Zion is a ’hero’ at the core. He never uses underhanded tactics in battle and confronts his opponents head-on.

But Luche is different; she is cunning, smart, and has no sense of chivalry whatsoever.

If the situation is not in her favor, she will run away without caring about honor or anything.

She lies, pretends, and can even go back on her promises without even feeling a little bit of guilt.

She’s equally as strong as Zion because she’s lived thousands of years, and even a pig will become strong if it’s lived that long, let alone her, who’s already very talented.

Her wood magic originated from her fairy origin, and that’s not all; she can use poison magic and illusion magic, and she is a very accomplished dark magician too.

Aside from that, she can even use ’Divine Heal,’ which is the highest-level healing magic available in this world.

In other words, she’s the type of boss monster who can recover her health bar to full if you let her cast the healing magic and don’t stop her on time during battle.

In the game, most players would rather fight Konda than go her way because she’s simply too annoying to deal with.

If you do enough damage to her and reduce her health bar to a low amount, she will escape, and once you let her escape, your nightmare begins.

She will ambush you in the game continuously at any random point and will make your playthrough a complete nightmare unless you beat her first.

Dealing with her is like stabbing a hornet’s nest, except in this case the hornet is extremely smart and cunning and can even lay ambushes against you when you are at your weakest.

There were a lot of players who were at low HP after fighting a boss and were collecting the loot when she would suddenly appear and kill the player, making them lose all loot.

Players gave her a nasty nickname because of this behavior: ’Crazy B*tch!’.

...

After remembering all the details about her in his mind, Jareth sighed to himself and asked,

"Why are you here? Don’t say bullsh*t like you find me better than Zion again at my face; I know that’s a lie..."

This time it was Luche’s turn to be surprised.

"What!? How did you know I was faking all that!?"

Jareth shook his head and spoke in a calm tone.

"A woman who has liked the same man for thousands of years wouldn’t just change in a matter of seconds..."

"A love so deep that it has persisted for thousands of years, I refuse to believe that it can be abandoned in a matter of seconds..."

"You saying that you like me is just a fiasco of yours... there’s no way you will fall in love with someone else so fast..."

Jareth kept staring at the sky and a rare smirk appeared on his face.

"If it was possible, you wouldn’t have kept pestering Zion for thousands of years; you would have changed your mind at least once in the past..."

No matter what the players say about her, Jareth actually respects Luche because of her persistent love for Zion.

’She’s basically like me... I still love Shiina despite knowing the fact that I have already died and has left her behind in a different reality...’

’She might already have married someone else... after all, there’s no guarantee that time moves exactly at the same speed in this place as the world from my past life...’

Jareth knew that clinging to his love for Shiina was not a good idea for him, but he just couldn’t let go of it.

In this dark and dying world, his love for her is one of the main reasons why he is still able to keep going.

Without a strong mind, he can’t face the hardships of this world.

"You are surprisingly perceptive... this is the first time someone has seen through me so easily..."

"Yes... I am physically unable of having feeling for anyone else in this life... I don’t know the reason..."

"Despite being a succubus, I have never had physical connections with anyone in this life... I know it sounds ridiculous but it’s true..."

Jareth knows the reason; it’s because she has fairy blood running in her veins.

Fairies only have one partner in their entire lifetime; they are physically incapable of being with a second person. It simply goes against their nature.

"Sigh, and here I was going to pester you for my own entertainment... tch! you are no fun!..."

"This is the exact reason why all succubus hates targeting men that have lovers; they are the most difficult to charm and seduce..."

Jareth couldn’t help but smile at those words.

’Well, of course that’s because having a lover increases your resistance to charm and seduction by ten times!’

(It’s not even a joke; having a lover gives you a passive stat boost: ’Resistance to Charm and Seduction increased tremendously!’...)

Of course, it only works for others but not on the person you actually love. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

’This world never ceases to amaze me; there are all kinds of strange and mysterious things in this world...’

Although the future of this world is bleak and even the skies of this world seem to be enshrouded in impending calamity, there are still many things that are not corrupted by the miasma.

The ’Law’ of ’Love and Protection’ is one of the few ’Laws’ of the ’World’ that has the highest resistance to corruption after all.
