I go to a place that has a lot of trees and bushes with thorns, as soon as I try to go through these bushes with thorns it had to seem like it had disappeared to someone from the outside, but the truth is that I went through a protective barrier that is being hidden by an illusion.
Inside the barrier was a small clearing where the Dungeon was open and dozens of Ogres and Orcs stood guard fully equipped for combat, all of them having Grade +SS strength.
I wave for them to get up after kneeling when I show up, Inside the city, everything is always normal but whenever they are outside they act more respectfully, Ivan must be teaching everyone unnecessary things.
I enter the dungeon with the girls and head straight for the town, everyone is already waiting in the meeting room knowing I'd just gone to do some preliminary recon before the meeting.
The meeting room is in the government building downtown, I walk straight into the meeting room where I find everyone talking while they wait.
I go straight to the nearest empty chair to sit down, Lilith and Érica do the same, and conversations stop.
"To start the meeting I will start by saying that this city is the correct place, the vampire is in the castle, possibly in the highest tower, but we still don't have confirmation." (I)
"Do we already know who the target is?" (Ivan)
"No, but it must be someone from the royal family or associate since it's in the castle." (I)
"What should we do? Will it be a direct attack or infiltration?" (Sapphire)
"I don't know, we have some things to work out before that, we need information about the target before we do anything." (I)
"Unfortunately, no one who left the Dungeon in the previous city can go to the city for information or risk warning the enemy of our presence." (I)
"So who are you going to send to investigate?" (Samira)
"Me, you, Beatriz, Barok, Sapphire, and Jade." (I)
"I'm going too?" (Samira)
"Yes, you have the most sensitive ears and I know you have been training to filter the things you hear for a better understanding." (I)
"Are you sure it's a good idea for me to go, a Lamia attracts a lot of attention." (Sapphire)
"This is not the Morror Continent, Sapphire." (I)
"Here Lamias are not considered monsters, shouldn't be a problem since I saw Centaurs entering the city earlier." (I)
"But what are you going to do, Father?" (Vanessa)
"Are you going to hide in the shadows like you've done in the past?" (Vanessa)
"I thought of that, but let me try something different." (I)
I close my eyes and form a picture of my face in my mind, then start making small changes like the chin shape, nose size, and bone structure.
After having an image formed I activate the skill I got when I devoured that slime in my first days in this world, I activate the body control skill.
With that I can directly control my whole body as I want to take the shape I want, a slime uses this ability to move and attack, but his body is just a jelly that has no flesh, bones, muscles, organs, and nerves.
My body is much more complex than a slime, and because of that every time I use this skill I feel excruciating pain, I don't even know how it is possible to stretch or contract a bone that should be rigid, but this skill treats my whole body like if it were made of a malleable matter somehow.
Using this skill I transform my face with the small changes I imagined which will give me a slightly more masculine look.
I put up with the pain for a few minutes while I make these changes to my face, with my resistance to the current pain and the much more painful experiences I've had to date, using this skill has become something more bearable where I can keep myself from screaming for the pain I'm in. feeling.
I look at my hand shaking from the pain I was feeling, I take a mirror out of my storage item and look at my appearance, I notice my long red hair and close my eyes as I use my Dark Affinity to accumulate dark elemental energy in my hair that turns black, so I tie my hair in a ponytail.
I look in the mirror again and think that it would be difficult to change my eye color, but then I remember that I have an eye patch that I can wear, I wear it on my purple eye to just show my golden eye.
After so many changes I look in the mirror happy with the completely different appearance, when I lower the mirror I notice that everyone else in the meeting is looking at me with disbelief except Ibuki who already knew this skill.
But there were some eyes that were shining with admiration, those were the eyes of Elsaris and Lilith, I'm sure Lilith just found this amusing while Elsaris must have thought about the usefulness of this skill in her field of work.
"If you all keep looking at me like that I'll be embarrassed..." (I)
"I have to stop surprising myself, I'm not sure my heart can handle so many surprises this often." (Vanessa)
"This is an amazing skill, the possibilities to change appearance without using magical disguises are endless..." (Lilian)
"From the sweat and pallor on your face, it looked like you were in a lot of pain." (Sapphire)
"I'm fine, after all, I've been through this pain is bearable." (I)
"This only makes me even more worried, for you who have endured the pain of having your body recreated by the True Dragon bloodline to say that this pain is bearable means that probably no one else in this room would be able to bear it, with the exception of Lilith." (Vanessa)
"You're wrong, Ivan would surely be able to bear it." (I)
"I don't feel pain, so it doesn't count." (Ivan)
"Shall we get back to the matter at hand?" (I)
Most of them exchange glances before we get back to the topic at hand, now with my new look, I can enter the city along with the others.
After another hour of meeting everyone leaves, leaving only the people I spoke to earlier, everyone follows me while we put on functional combat clothes similar to the Adventurers before leaving the Dungeon.
So let's all go to the nearest road, when I saw that there was no one nearby, I pull a carriage from my storage item along with a Golem similar to a type of Lizard half Horse that I got in the village of the Elves, I didn't want to use the monsters that we normally use in our standard carriage.
This was a new carriage, so I thought a different kind of thing pulling the carriage would be better.
