The Incubus System Chapter 223. Two Incubi
I couldn't hide my shock from my face after I found out about her relationship status. Questions flooded my head. If she was another Incubus' partner, where would he be now? Did he hide his demonic aura like me? That's why I couldn't detect him? Was he also Lord Damon's subordinate? And was he related to this crack?
'No... If he is Lord Damon's subordinate, Tania and Yuffy should have known about this, yet they didn't say anything even though Yuffy followed me to the Tempestechnologies.'
Since I wanted to find out her plan, I decided to use my Mind Corruption skill on her. But I had to release Olivia and Camila first, since judging from their situation it seemed that Myra didn't intend to do the live streaming plan and I guessed her original plan was worse than that.
"Miguel! Answer me! Why did you betray me?!" said Myra angrily.
But instead of Miguel's answer, it was Emma who yelled at her.
"Let them go!" she shouted in displeasure. Her hands were clenched into fists holding back her anger, she was ready to beat Myra. If Pearl wasn't here, maybe she had already attacked her with her Demon Hunter skill. In contrast to Emma, Pearl's attention was focused on the devices and tubes in the room. Her brows furrowed and it was clear from her face she was in deep thought.
Myra smirked in arrogance. I guessed she was quite confident in her abilities as an ex-advanced demon hunter. Besides that, I also noticed she was wearing the same magic bracelet as the one we saw yesterday.
"Make me!" she scoffed. Then without further ado, she extended her hand to us. Her palm glowed in light and a white chain launched at us. Emma was just about to take out her Mana Strike, using her white lance as a weapon but I quickly grabbed her hand, stopping her. While my foot kicked Myra's Holy Chain to brush it off before I stepped on that chain.
"Tsk!" Myra clicked her tongue in displeasure and tried to pull her chain but I didn't budge. But then I caught her glancing to the other side of the room, checking something.
I glanced in the same direction as her and realized there was a tiny black hole in the middle of a strange gate there. I quickly recognized it was a crack to the dark dimension, but it looked a little different than usual. The normal crack edges were usually messy like a wall crack that had been hit by a large, hard object. It showed that it was unintentional. But this crack had a neat round shape just like my portal skill. I also noticed a device connected to it as well as a thick cable connected to a huge tube that glowed in green with some black force mixed in that made the glow even darker.
'Is that cable sucking the energy from the crack and transferring it to the tube?'
I suddenly realized, she stole energy from the border! So she was the one who made the border energy unstable! She was the one who made the crack problem even worse! The source of this problem was her!
"Release Olivia and Camila, I will take care of her," I said calmly to Emma and Pearl. Despite my calmness, my anger was clear from my voice. I couldn't hold myself back anymore, though I wasn't sure she realized the border between the two worlds' was deteriorating because of her doing. Because of her crazy plan, she had killed a lot of innocent people, demon hunters, my father, also... Me.
Hearing my words, swiftly, both of them ran to Olivia and Camila to free them.
Myra shot her anger from her eyes.
"You asshole!" Her other hand took a knife from her thigh belt and tried to throw it at me. But I released her chain and with one smooth movement, I kicked her chain back at her.
- Clang!
[You have hit a human for 30 HP.]
The chain hit her wrist and her knife fell to the ground followed by her grunt. Without wasting time, I lunged at her, pushed her to the wall and pinned her hands.
She looked at me in anger and tried to release herself away from me.
"You fuc---"
Before she finished her words, I used my skill.
'Mind Corruption.'
Her gaze turned blank and she was not resisting me anymore.
[The target has been in your Mind Corruption. What do you want to do with her memory?]
[Read / Erase / Alter]
'Read.'
[Please insert what you want to read from the target's memory.]
'Her Demon Slavery's plan and her Incubus lover.'
[Reading memory is in progress...]
As before, her memory rushed into my head and I closed my eyes tightly. But rather than a movie, I felt like watching a nightmare. Not her nightmare but mine. I could see how she ordered someone to drug my father, weakening him. From her memory, I just found out that my father's two best skills were similar to my Demonic Energy and Demonic Claw. It was just that instead of black electricity like mine, a white light covered his body and instead of the black claws on his hands, a pair of strong silver gauntlets allowed him to kill a rat demon with a single blow. He looked like an angelic knight, in contrast to my demonic appearance. Now I understood why Emma and Theo idolized him. And the reason why my father dared to face the Imps army outside Ironshade Town without waiting for the association's help was he had done the same thing before and he was able to handle it alone. In other words, if Myra didn't drug him, my father should still be alive!
I opened my eyes and gasped.
"You killed my dad..." I muttered. Two drops of tears flowed from my eyes that looked at Myra in rage and hatred. Involuntary, my hand choked her neck mercilessly. My anger peaked, not only Damian but Ethan inside me also screamed to kill her even though she was a human.
[You have choked a human for 180 HP.]
She opened her mouth as she gasped for breath, trying to take the air as much as she could to her mouth. Her eyes returned to normal indicating that she was no longer in my Mind Corruption skill. She struggled to free herself from me and let out an inaudible shriek. I knew what she did was based on her love for the Incubus but I couldn't forgive her.
"He was afraid that you would fall on the wrong path, that's why he kept warning you. He fought to protect humans, yet you killed him because of your ego..." I tightened my choke and lifted her body slowly until her feet didn't touch the ground anymore, my hatred consumed my mind and my heart. What I wanted was to break her neck even though I knew it wouldn't bring my father back.
[You have choked a human for 200 HP.]
"AAAHHHHH!" Suddenly Miguel's scream came, accompanied by a stinking stench that pierced my nose and an announcement in a red box in front of me.
[!!! Warning!!! ]
[Other Demons detected!]
- Clang!
At the same time, a clashing sound came along with another announcement.
[Incubus' Protection has been activated]
[One attack to Emma Lunaspark has been repelled]
My eyes turned to Emma, she was already standing, holding her white lance with a black transparent barrier, protecting her. Olivia and Camila who had been released from their chains were standing behind her, as well as Pearl. Their eyes looked at the gate in horror. I could even see Emma's hands were shaking.
'Shit!' I cursed internally as I came back to my senses and turned my gaze at the crack. That crack was around 2 Meters in diameter now. The edges around the crack crumbled, enlarging the crack in every second. I knew Myra was planning to make a way for her lover with that gate but the gate should open in the next hour. Since it opened much faster than expected, it was a sign of how bad the damage was.
"Ah~ What a fierce puppy~" A man's sweet voice came from the crack accompanied by the sound of footsteps. Miguel's screams of pain accompanied his every step. An Incubus with mahogany hair with an innocent and cute face smiled sweetly at us. Unlike me, his horns were black and he didn't have wings like mine. His tail with the triangular tip behind him and his disgusting sense of clothes covered his body. He wore a black tight leather outfit that only covered his arms and his upper chest, showing his chest and six-pack abs clearly. And his leather tight pants covered all of his legs except his crotch, exposing his big cock proudly to us. A black whip that writhed like a snake out from his palm. I could guess he used that to pull Miguel and attacked Emma earlier. In his other hand a chain leash connected to an iron collar. A naked woman in her 20s walked on all fours following him. Her body was covered in scratches and bites. Her brunette short hair looked messy. Her trauma was evident in her eyes and face. I recognized her, it was the maid who Myra gave to the Incubus before they parted.
Behind them, red demons with long ears as well as sharp teeth and claws. They moved deftly tearing apart, eating Miguel alive just like the rat demons ate me. And from his HP, his death was in a matter of seconds. I wouldn't be able to save him even if I wanted to. Although those demons had hands, they walked on all fours. Despite their small bodies, they had adult huge cocks, signifying they lived by their kind name, Sex Demon.
Myra raised her hand towards the Incubus.
"Za--el... He---lp--me!" she pleaded with a broken voice.
The Incubus named Zael stopped his steps and smirked wickedly.
"Why should I?" he said coldly.
In that instant, Myra's eyes widened in shock. Her broken heart and disappointment were clearly visible on her face as she realized that her lover had betrayed her.
I released my grip and threw Myra to where she tied Olivia and Camila before and chained her with my Telekinesis skill without taking my eyes off the Incubus. There was undeniable rage and anger in me when I saw him. I felt like an alpha wolf who saw another alpha wolf entering my territory and I didn't like it. My eyes glared at him.
"Get off of my territory," I warned him in displeasure.
