Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong-Chapter 253: Information Exchange and Manipulation...

Jareth already somewhat suspected that Luche will likely stalk him later after that big fight in the elven country.

Although she’s one of the strongest people in this world, she also has some screws missing in her head.

To gain the power that she has now, she’s gone through many hardships, causing her to lose a lot of things.

Just like how every strong person in this world is a bit of a weirdo, she’s one too.

She likes fighting strong people, and after meeting someone strong like Jareth after so long, she will obviously try to fight him a few more times before she’s satisfied.

To make her opponent fight her, she has even killed her opponent’s loved ones in the past. Basically, she can go to any lengths for a good battle.

If not for the fact that Konda was sealed away, she would have been fighting that abominable thing every day just for fun.

’Still, she can’t really be considered a villain from the perspective of the game as her only motive is just a good fight...’

’You can totally ignore her in the game and not deal with her at all; she’s an optional boss after all...’

Jareth shook his head and asked in a calm tone,

"By the way, is the passage to ’Levina’ open in this decade or not?"

As Jareth asked that question, a look of shock appeared on Luche’s beautiful face all of a sudden.

"W-wha!? How does a human know about Levina!?"

"Tch! Did Zion tell you about it? I will beat up that guy the next time I meet him! He’s always getting on my nerves!"

"Even though I have been confessing my love for thousands of years, he’s still stuck in the past! I sometimes feel like beating the sh*t out of him!"

"Ugh! So annoying!"

Jareth glanced at Luche’s frustrated face and spoke in his usual cold tone.

"Well, I know about a lot of things... Zion hasn’t told me about it; I knew about it from other sources..."

"So, is the passage to it still open in this decade?"

A conflicted look appeared on Luche’s face as she replied in a calm tone,

"No, it’s been close for the past fifteen or so years I think... it should have opened by now but it hasn’t yet..."

"Although it’s surprising that a human even knows about its existence, why are you asking about it..."

"That’s not a place regular beings would want to visit... that city was already heavily corrupted a few centuries ago... I doubt there’s anything worth looking for in that destroyed city..."

Jareth shook his head at those words.

"Well, I am just asking... I have something to do there... but if the passage is closed, then it’s going to be troublesome indeed..."

According to the story of the game, ’Levina’ is a mythical city that exists at the border of reality and the spirit world.

It’s a place where many mythical beings used to reside in the past, and even the First King Strar U’lbyatre once stayed there for a decade or so.

Every ancient mural has at least a few lines mentioning this legendary city from the past.

Of course, Jareth has visited it in the game, but that was only in the game.

The real world is different; moreover, due to Jareth’s actions, many things have changed in this world’s current timeline.

The butterfly effect has become quite severe; there might be unknown changes everywhere that he doesn’t know about.

’Still I must visit that place once; I need an item from that place...’

Just like the ’Leaf’ of the ’World Tree,’ a legendary item is in that city, which Jareth needs for his wormhole device.

’After I am done sending the kiddos back, I will go and grab that item too before anyone else interferes again...’

Last time Jareth went to the abyss altar area, Zion interfered, causing him to lose half of the item that Jareth needed, due to which the trip ended in failure.

This time Jareth’s planning on acting fast so that no one can interfere.

"Well, thanks for the information; in order to thank you, I shall repay with a piece of information..."

A look of interest appeared on Luche’s face after hearing Jareth’s words.

"Hoh, that’s new... there’s barely anything in this world that I don’t know about... I doubt there’s any information that you can provide that will be interesting enough to me-"

Before Luche could finish her sentence, Jareth spoke in a calm voice.

"The ’Light of Awakening’ has been found... by the ’False Dome Cult’... I don’t know about the exact location of the base where it’s located though..."

Hearing those words, Luche’s eyes constricted for a moment, and a look of shock appeared on her face.

"Y-you... Are you telling the truth!? That armor has been found!?"

’Light of Awakening’ is a legendary armor that was personally created by the First King Strar U’lbyatre and is the best piece of war equipment in this world alongside the ’Sword of Salvation, Astra.’

It’s so powerful that even if an ordinary person wears it, they would instantly become as strong as a peak grade-1 warrior and mage combined.

Not only does it give insanely powerful defense, but it also increases strength and even magic capabilities tremendously.

In a gamer’s term, it’s basically a ’God-tier End Game Equipment.’

The very few legendary players in the past who defeated ’Konda’ in the game all shared a similarity: they equipped this armor.

In the game community, players used to say that the only genuine method to beat Konda is by equipping this armor.

Konda was extremely powerful; it could put several debuffs on the opponent just by existing nearby, and to negate all those powerful debuffs, you would need the help of powerful light elements.

That’s where ’Light of Awakening’ comes in; it not only protects you from miasma and debuffs, but it also infuses all of your attacks with a ’Holy’ and ’Light’ attribute, which causes extra damage to Konda.

’If Zion was able to find this armor in the past, then he would have been the closest person to actually be able to slay Konda all by himself...’

Jareth only managed to defeat Konda by making use of loopholes, and it was completely by pure chance.

In an actual head-on battle with no ’Heavenly Punishment,’ it would have been impossible to kill Konda so easily.

That thing was near unkillable; otherwise, someone as strong as Zion wouldn’t have been driven to the ends of despair. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"It’s the truth... that armor is now in the hands of the ’False Dome Cult,’ I am quite sure of it..."

"Moreover, this cult is the reason why the destruction of this world is accelerating causing tremendous headache for everyone..."

Luche didn’t bother listening anymore and spoke in an impatient tone.

"Okay... I should get going now! I remember I had something to do!!"

Without waiting for Jareth’s reply, Luche jumped away like and disappeared in the distance instantly as if she was in a hurry.

’She’s going to look for that armor so that she can give it to Zion and propose again...’

Jareth easily figured out what the other party was thinking.

Luche is the person with the best tracking skills in this world; she’s the only person who can track the secretive ’False Dome Cult.’

Originally, Jareth and Zion were the only ones tracking and dealing with them; now even Luche is going to deal with the Cult.

This is the exact reason why Jareth told Luche about this information; he wants her to create problems for the cult and delay their plans of destroying the golden nails as much as possible.

The thing that Jareth lacks the most currently is ’time’; he doesn’t have enough time to slowly search for hideouts of that cult and uproot them one by one.

Even in the game, the False Dome Cult was an organization that had no fixed base; they kept moving randomly, and it’s near impossible to guess where they might be.

Luche is the best person to find their hiding spots.

Jareth isn’t worried that Luche will take the legendary armor for herself and will become a threat; only Zion can bring out the best effects of that armor.

’Although Zion isn’t exactly on my side and I might have to fight him again in the future, I need him to deal with the false dome cult’s schemes...’

’I just have to get strong so that I can deal with him even if he’s wearing an armor...’

Jareth doesn’t have the time to always be pursuing the false dome cult and keep thrashing their plans; he has many things to do, and time waits for no one.

So it’s better to let Zion and Luche disturb the cult while he himself focuses on his plans.

’Why do I feel like I have become more and more like a manipulator nowadays...’

A complicated look appeared on Jareth’s face as he thought about his changes; he couldn’t help but sigh to himself thinking about all this.

’I have changed a lot too, I guess...’
