The Incubus System

103 Chapter 101. Demon World’s New Ace

She swung her Holy Chain and extended it towards me. While I flicked my wings to fly up to avoid it and only stopped after her chain stopped extending.

"Get down you coward!" she snapped.

"Pffttt! Why do I need to obey you?" I answered in a casual tone. Thankfully, I wore different clothes from the one I wore when I met her this morning.

"Then I will take you down!" Her other hand was directed at me and white light shot out from it. I simply dodged it to the side and sent that white light into the sky behind me.

Unwilling to give up, she fired her Holy Blast at me repeatedly. While I manoeuvred in the mid-air, shifted my body side to side, letting the white light pass through me.

After a few shots, she stopped, even though she still had a lot of MP, I could see her gasping.

"Save your Magic Power. I'm not your enemy," I tried to calm her down.

"Are you trying to say that you are my friend?" she said sarcastically.

"Do you think you can trick me with such a cheap lie? You crazy demon!" Another white light shot out from her palm.

I shifted my head to the side and the light passed over my shoulder.

"I never said that. I just don't want to continue this fight." My enemies were the demons, not the demon hunters. I also didn't want to attack her because that would only lead to misunderstanding.

"I will excuse myself," I said politely, hoping she doesn't get in my way anymore. But when I just turned to the side, suddenly a white light was shot at me. I retreated and the light passed me an inch in front of my face.

A tired breath came out of my mouth as I turned my head to her in annoyance.

"Cut it out. I told you I don't want to continue this fight." Even though her level was above me, she was under the Demonic Curse and I could move freely in the sky. Even without fighting, I could already guess the result.

"I want to talk!" she said, her hand was still on me.

"About what?" I asked.

"About this!" she said as she waved her hand, showing the mess around her.

"That's another demon's doing, not me." Well, I was not sure she would believe what I said.

And as expected, she gave me a sneer.

"Not your doing. Yeah, right," she said sarcastically.

"If you don't believe me, why do you even bother to ask?"

Again, I was just about to leave but she fired her Holy Blast again. This time instead of dodged it, I took out my Demonic Spike and countered with one of my lances.

- Boom!

An explosion occurred in our midst. A strong wind was blowing from where the explosion occurred as she kept her footing, while I didn't budge. Feeling that she wouldn't let me go before I gave her an explanation, I decided to give her a chance to speak.

Seeing that I wasn't leaving, she lowered her hand.

"Tell me! What happened at the border? Why did you guys send so many demons here?"

"I'm still trying to find out what happened. About those demons, no one sent them. They came by themselves."

"Hmph!" she snorted in disbelief.

"No one sent them? That many demons?" She replied with a sarcastic tone.

"That's right. They escaped from the dark dimension due to the crack between the demon world and the human world. And they has to eat humans to maintain their existence. That's why I and several other demons are trying to fix this problem and close the crack. " Of course what I meant by 'other demons' were Lilieth and the other four Demon Generals. I took the conclusion that they were also in the human world because I remembered that Lilieth and that tentacle man mentioned their names.

She paused for a moment after hearing my words and glared at me.

"If all demons have to eat humans to maintain their existence, doesn't that mean you have to do the same?!" Her hand raised and she fired her Holy Blast again.

I moved my index finger, a lance flew to counter it.

- Boom!

Another explosion occurred amidst us as our attacks collided in the mid-air.

"You said you only wanted to talk. So please mind your manners, " I warned her.

She gritted her teeth in annoyance and lowered her hand, but her eyes still stared at me.

"Now answer me, if all demons have to eat humans to maintain their existence, doesn't that mean you have to do the same?! Why are you acting like you're innocent ?!"

I smirked.

"I don't eat humans, I eat something else." And since the other four Demon Generals were from humans like me so I deduced they eat the same way as me.

She frowned in disbelief.

"Something else?"

"That's what I can tell for now. But I can make sure I don't hurt humans." I couldn't say I ate by having sex. I didn't know her, she could report this to headquarters, that way they would look for me in all prostitution districts because that was the easiest way to get it.

"Then who's your leader? Who's the escaping demons' leader?" She asked again.

"I'm working on my own. For the escaping demons, I'm also not sure they have it." I made this conclusion based on Foxy's information who escaped to the human world because she fled from the Hounds and the attacks that had been happening so far. But of course, that did not rule out other things.

"What kind of stupid lie is that ?!" Again, she fired her Holy Blast at me.

And I moved my index finger, throwing my lance to counter it.

-Boom!

Another explosion occurred in our midst. I swung my hand, controlling several of my black lances towards her.

"Don't mess with me," I threatened, my five black lances stopped one feet in front of her.

But despite my threat, her eyes glared at me.

"There is always a leader in every large scale attack! And you said no one organized it ?! Do you think we're stupid ?!"

I realized what she meant was noble demons who could make other demons as their servants, since they did look like leaders.

"They are noble demons with subordinates."

"Noble?" she let out a condescending chuckle and gave me a cynical smile.

"A demon could have noble status?" she said condescendingly.

"It's up to you to decide to believe me or not, but I will give you a warning. As long as this problem is not over, more demons will come to the human world and they will be more powerful than before. If you are not careful and recruit more hunters to fight them, you will only sacrifice your own members. "

She frowned again and looked at me in confusion mixed with suspicion.

"How did you find out about us?"

"It doesn't matter how I find out." Just as those words left my mouth, my eyes widened in surprise when I saw a small black hole appear behind her. A second later, around that hole cracked and shattered like broken glass.

The stinking stench pierced my nose along with an announcement in a red box in front of me.

[!!! Warning !!! ]

[Other Demons detected!]

At the same time, the demons' hands who came out of there tried to reach Ruby from behind.

"Move!" I ordered as I moved my hand, controlling the black lances in front of her to attack the hands. This third crack proved that the borders around here were really fragile.

Seeing my lances launched at her, Ruby swiftly dodged to the side. She looked angry at first since she thought I was attacking her, but her expression turned shocked after seeing a crack behind her.

[You have shot a Rat Demon for 61 HP. ] X2

[You have shot a Toad Demon for 66 HP. ] X2

[You have shot a Toad Demon for 62 HP. ]

The demons pulled their hands, the hole looked dark again but suddenly a Crocodile Demon's head appeared from there.

"Graaaaahhhh!" He roared loudly with his mouth open exposing his sharp teeth.

Ruby extended her hand, a lance that glowed in white came out of her palm and flew at the demon.

Meanwhile, I glided at them. The crack just appeared, I just needed to close it before it got worse.

"Argggg!" The demon screamed in pain, but his head remained there.

Seeing that he was still alive, I fired several of my Demonic Spikes at him.

[You have shot a Crocodile Demon for 65 HP. ] X3

And he turned to ashes.

I just reached out my hand and cast my Dark Energy but suddenly a white chain launched from my side.

- Clang!

I brushed it off with my lances.

"What are you doing?" I glared at Ruby.

While she responded to me with the same gaze.

"I won't let you bring your friends---- aaaahhhh!"

Before she could finish her sentence, she was thrown with an invisible force and fell into the sea.

'Ethan, close the crack. We'll take care of it from here.' Lilieth's voice resounded in my head.

I turned to the crack and saw Lilieth standing in a black swamp surrounded by hundreds of demons. Her hand extended to them, an invisible barrier kept the demons from reaching this crack. A messy black-haired man with an arrogant face was standing beside her. He only wore black trousers with a tattoo under his left eye, showing his well-built body clearly with a big diagonal scar on his back. A skull glowed in green light in his hand.

"Is he your new ace?" His eyes looked at me in disdain.

"He is one of you. You have to be more polite to him, Sarael," Lilieth replied in a calm tone.

As soon as I heard the name 'Sarael', I quickly realized that he was one of the Demon Generals.

Sarael gave me a smirk.

"Don't disappoint us, boy." The skull in his hand grew brighter, the ground around the swamp turned into black flames that burned all the demons around them.

My eyes widened in shock once again.

'Is this a Demon General's power?'

"What are you waiting for? Close the crack," Lilieth's voice dispersed my thoughts.

"Be careful," I said as I extended my hand and used my Dark Energy skill.

[The crack has closed.]

[You have used up 2 DP.]

*Ting!*

[You have gained EXP!]

"You coward!" Ruby's shout indicated she was fine.

I walked to the side of the bridge and knelt on one knee. My eyes stared at Ruby who swam in the calm sea since we were still in my Devil Space. Her eyes looked at me angrily.

"Need my help?" I said in calm tone. Even though she was quite close to the shore and could swim well, she was still under the Demonic Curse influence.

She responded to me by stretching out her hand and firing her Holy Blast again. Like before, I moved my index finger and one of my lances flew to counter it.

- Boom!

An explosion created a wind that brushed my hair and shook the sea's surface around her.

"I will take that as a no." I stood up and almost turned around but she screamed again.

"You coward! Wait there and fight me like a real man!" she taunted.

I chuckled.

"I'm not a man. I'm a demon," I said in an indifferent tone. Then I turned around.

"Adios. Don't forget what I said," I reminded her once again.

"Come back here!" she screamed.

My feet continued to move as I ignored her screams. A cellphone lying near me caught my attention since the name 'Ruby' written with pink glitter was on the back of the case. A thought crossed my head and I took it.

' I'll borrow your cellphone for a while.'
