Chapter 552: Chapter 549. Licheri's Core III
The Incubus System Chapter 549. Licheri's Core III
As soon as my dark aura disappeared, Licheri and I were already in the city hall's courtyard. It was just a simple garden with a few neat bushes and wide mosaic paths. A huge fountain with a small naked Letos statue on the top of it.
The yard wasn't that big compared to Pearl's mansion, but since this was an office, it was more concentrated on the building itself. To be honest, I would rather move straight into Letos' office, I couldn't do that since I had never been inside it.
The staff and guards looked shocked at my sudden arrival. They quickly either pulled out their claws or put on an attack stance, preparing to attack me.
"Don't you know who I am?" I said with a firm tone. My intimidation was clear from the tone of my voice and the look in my eyes. They should know who I am from the news, but they may not know it or choose to pretend not to know so they had valid reasons to attack me.
Realizing my identity, they lowered their claws and bowed to greet me.
"My Lord," they greeted politely. Most of them looked unwillingly, but they had no other choice but to do it.
But a few of them chose not to. From the look in their eyes, I could tell they already knew my identity but chose to ignore it. I recognized some of them as Letos' loyal subordinates. But none of them held important positions or information.
Nonchalantly, I turned to them.
"Lower your claws and stop acting stupid. I will spare your life as long as you don't make any trouble." Even though I said it in a calm tone, my threat was clear from the tone of my voice and I mean it. I had killed a lot of demons today and I didn't mind getting my hands dirty with more blood.
"What if we don't want to?" one of them returned my threat. Their gazes had said it all. No, not just from their gazes. In fact, their presence had shown their bad intentions. This yard was not their station, yet they were here, waiting for me. They knew this was the first place I would go.
"Then I have no choice but to kill you," I replied, still, in a firm tone.
Unfortunately, they ignored my threat and chose to fight even though they knew they couldn't possibly win.
"Then so be it!" said one of them. His determination was clear in his voice.
"We'd rather reunite with our Lord than be your servant!" another said. His emotion filled his every word.
A second later, as if on cue, they rushed to attack me.
"I respect your loyalty…" I muttered in a cold voice. Even though I hated this, I knew that some precious thing or person couldn't be replaced by anything else. So honorable death was better for them than working under their master's enemy. And I would give it to them.
I was just about to call upon my Demonic Spike to kill them. But something else had stopped them.
The ground beneath them suddenly formed dozens of hands to catch them. Not only their feet but also their bodies. It even shut their mouths. It was similar to my Shadow Ritual, except it was made of earth.
Before their shock dissipated, in the midst of those hands, a sharp spike burst out and pierced right into the demons' weak points. One critical hit was enough to turn the demons to ashes, showing how strong the caster was.
The other demons pressed their lips and lowered their heads. They chose to keep their mouths shut and say nothing since they knew opposing the lord meant death.
While I immediately realized who finished them off. I turned to Licheri who was sitting casually on my palm. Despite his cute and innocent face, he didn't bat an eye when all of them died or even showed any fear because of it. And I knew it was him who did it.
Noticing my gaze, he jumped, shifting his body to face me.
"You should say thanks to me," he said with a proud smile. Despite his appearance, he was more powerful than my pets or my servants. Well, the fact that I couldn't detect his HP and DP indicated his status was above mine. Which meant… the system considered his position to be the same as Lord Damon. Or maybe, he was the core, not a real creature.
"I can handle them," I asserted.
"You can." He jumped up and sat on my shoulder. His mouth was in front of my ear.
"But in this case, I know it's hard for you since they attack you due to their loyalty. Not because they committed a crime or wanted to take over the throne," he revealed.
It took me by surprise. Luckily, I was able to maintain my composure.
"You can read my mind to that extent?" I said in a low voice. My surprise was evident in my tone of voice.
"I told you, I just got into your head so I know your personality, the way you think, your dilemma, and everything. Asides from your young age, you are a human, demon, and angel in one body. A rare creature. I didn't know such a thing existed." A sweet smile appeared on his lips.
"If not, why do you think I decided to take this form and talk to you while I can pretend to be dead as usual?" he added.
An exhale out of my mouth since I couldn't deny any of that.
"Right," I said lightly.
"Hmm, since you look unhappy. I can pretend that I can't if you want it," he offered again. He had said that once but I was not sure he could hold himself back.
As I walked towards the building, I spoke.
"That's not going to get rid of the fact that you can do it."
