The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 455. Our Loss and Victory I

Ethan's PoV

Our car moved fast on Licheri City's street towards our previous portal spot. The silence enveloped us as so many thoughts occupied my head.

Trying to distract myself, I turned my gaze to the car window, staring at the city view. Although a lot of lust demons kind still stood on the sides of the streets, their number was less than before. The excitement was no longer visible on their faces. Likewise with the incubi who were guarding along the streets. A sign that the previous incident also shocked them.

A touch on my hand broke my reverie. I turned my gaze to Lilieth who was sitting by my side.

"You've been doing your best, Damian," she said with a gentle smile.

Even though I gave my authority to Lilieth, she had to bring her troops before starting the investigation. Leaving Lilieth there alone wasn't a good idea. Letos could have used her as a hostage. So bringing an army to accompany her was a must. After all, we had checked there was no more clue except the CCTV footage. As for the authorities, it was an excuse to keep an eye on Letos and Licheri.

I nodded and smiled bitterly.

"Yeah." I knew I did everything well but it didn't wash away my guilt. Although I couldn't blame myself completely either. Still, I had to admit, the excitement and happiness that disappeared from the other demon's face soured my mood and increased my guilt.

A wild thought crossed my head.

"Lilieth... Is there any chance of them surviving?" I asked.

"You know... Letos might hide them somewhere else before he blew up the place," I pointed out what I meant, clinging desperately to the last straw of my hope.

"I'm not sure. But we can ask Lord Damon once we get back. He can sense death," she suggested. But from the unexcitement on her face, I knew the chances were slim.

I was silent upon her answer. Yeah... I know I was just trying to cheer myself up.

Upon my silence and gloomy expression, she spoke again.

"At least they're free now and Letos didn't manage to get what he wanted," she tried to cheer me up.

I forced a smile. It didn't improve my mood at all but I tried to get out of my slump.

"You're right." I took a deep breath, swallowed my mixed feeling, and turned my gaze forward.

"I have to concentrate on my next plan," I added.

"What are you planning about your face?" asked Lilieth, trying to change the subject. Of course, she meant my undercover plan. I couldn't use my own face or Letos' face since it was too obvious. I didn't want to use my human face either. And if I showed up as a random incubus, the other demon lords would think I was another incubus. Like a family from the dead succubus.

"I'm planning to borrow one of his assistant's faces. Do you have any suggestions on which I should use?" I answered. I had been planning this ever since I got my Camouflage skill. Besides, I had seen his assistants' faces today.

Lilieth answered me with a humming sound for a while before she spoke again.

"That dead high incubus might be a good idea. The public has seen his face. But... Everyone knows he's dead. So maybe a lot of people don't believe it," she suggested.

Her suggestion gave me another evil idea and I wouldn't hesitate to use it to drag Letos down.

"Or... We can frame Letos and make it look like he faked his assistant's death." I was sure those demon lords had higher intelligence than the others. So they may think that Letos used his assistant's death for other purposes. A perfect plan to make them fight against each other.

Indeed, demons recognized another demon by his Demonic Power. But I planned to cover all my Demonic Power for this mission. So they could only recognize me from my face.

"But how?" she asked.

"By showing up in Licheri City, of course," I replied.

It made her frown.

"Why Licheri? What's your plan? Are you planning to mess around?" she asked again.

"I'm not. I'm just gonna show myself here and there. You know something like a secret agent in his slack time. I just need some proof that I'm from that city and several witnesses," I explained. Of course, I would use sunglasses or something that could cover my face naturally.

"But wouldn't that only lead Letos to catch the witnesses?" she said in worry.

"I'm going to use CCTV for this plan. Also since you're going to investigate at Licheri, maybe you can help me with a thing or two. You know, like accidentally catching a glance of me around Letos' building or something. That could create an alibi for us, "I gave my idea. I had to confess this plan was getting better and better.

Another humming sound escaped her mouth.

"True. And I can blame your appearance for his betrayal. That he faked his assistant death and everything he put in front of the public was only an act. As long as you didn't do it too openly," she said.

"Yeah. I just need to make things look natural," I replied. A devilish smile began to appear on my lips.

"Well, isn't this exciting? It's him who usually does the act. Now it's our turn." Somehow this plan lightened my guilt a bit. I knew this would be our best counterattack. In the end... I could take my revenge on him.

Upon my expression, a devilish smile also developed on Lilieth's face.

"Indeed..."

The end of the street was getting near and the demons around us were getting fewer, signifying that I had to open my portal.

'Portal, Illusion Night Tower's yard, Eternal Night City.'

A big portal appeared in front of our car. I noticed the size had changed since I got my status as a royal demon. And our car went through it, followed by two other cars.
