The Incubus System Chapter 456. Our Loss and Victory II
As soon as our cars left the portal, we arrived at Illusion Night's yard and kept moving to the parking lot. The guards immediately lowered their heads as soon as we passed.
Roars and growls greeted our car when we passed the demon beast's row of cages. At the end of the parking lot, Lord Damon and two headless demons were waiting for us.
The car stopped in front of Lord Damon.
"Good job, both of you," he complimented us as soon as we got out of the car. A happy smile on his face.
Behind us, Cerberus returned to his original form and a headless demon escorted him back into the cage. I took my last glance at Cerberus since, despite his cool form, he hadn't had a chance to show his power.
"What about the towers? Did Letos take the bait?" I asked impatiently, approaching him. At the same time, I changed to my original form.
His happy smile turned into an evil smirk.
"Of course. He mobilized all his soldiers to take over this place but it was us who ambushed them," he said proudly. He seemed satisfied with what had happened.
I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"I should have known it from your face."
"Did you manage to catch any of them?" asked Lilieth curiously. I was curious about that too, but I didn't ask since I already guessed the answer.
"Unfortunately no. They would rather die than be caught." A trace of disappointment was evident in his tone.
Well, I was expecting that. His presence in this place had shown that he had not succeeded. Otherwise, he should be preparing his troops to attack Letos.
"But I must say their shocked faces entertained me," he added.
He snapped his finger. In an instant, we were at the royal mansion.
"That makes my day. Unfortunately, I can't see Letos' angry face," he continued. He turned to me and Lilieth.
"What about you guys? I heard the prison explode." His feet walked leisurely down the corridor.
I smiled bitterly.
"The plan was successful. But we couldn't save any of them," I said regretfully. I didn't know where he was going, we just followed him.
He patted my shoulder and smiled wryly.
"You've done your best. Just remember, despite our status, there are so many things that we can't change. Even for a king like me," he advised.
"Yeah, I know... It was just..." I lowered my head in regret. My eyes stared at my palm as I closed it slowly in front of me as if I was trying to grasp something but I couldn't have it.
"They are there. In front of my eyes. We know the plan. Yet I can't do anything. It irritated me a lot. Even with this huge power, I feel... Powerless."
There was nothing worse than this feeling. I knew what would happen yet I couldn't do anything to change it. Just like how I watched Erebus die in my dream. I could do nothing but watch everything.
I turned to Lord Damon and looked into his eyes.
"Dad, about those succubi... Did they really die? Or did Letos hide them?" I tried my luck.
"I felt a lot of death from Licheri. So yes... They are dead. Letos really killed them," he clarified.
I nodded repeatedly and returned my gaze to the front.
"I see..." I said in a low voice.
"Damian, once we get rid of Letos and his alliance. This will be over," Lilieth reminded.
"I know..." I replied quietly. A second later, I lift my head and put on my best smile.
"Oh right. Where are Ivy and the others?" I tried to get my mind off something else.
"I ordered them to secure the city," Lord Damon replied.
I frowned.
"Why don't you let them help you?" I asked. Compared to some headless demons, my servants had a higher level than them. So they should be more useful than others.
"If you want to take them on your mission, I have to hide them," he replied.
"Makes sense," I said. And yeah, that was my plan. I even planned to have them use that assistant's face and mess around in several places at once.
"Since we're done..." Lord Damon opened the entertainment room's door, gesturing us to enter the room.
"Shall we celebrate it? I'll call your servants back."
I entered the room.
"A couple of drinks is fine. But a full party, I think I will skip," I politely refused. I was seriously not in the mood for any party.
"Why?" Lilieth asked.
"I know this is our victory. But we have sacrificed a lot of lives. So... We didn't really win. At least, that's how I feel," I exclaimed.
A long exhale came out of his mouth.
"Right... So this is about your human morality."
"Yeah. Besides, we have to stay alert. Who knows Letos has other plans. And you still have to explain to me about tomorrow right?" I sat in front of the minibar.
Another long exhale came out of his mouth. His annoyance was clear from there.
"Fine." He snapped his fingers. Three wine glasses floated in front of us along with a bottle of wine, filling them with a purple liquid.
"As for tomorrow, what you need to do is observe how I fix the border and pretend to be me to cover my absence. I don't think I need to explain any further," he added.
After the glasses were full and floated in front of us, we took them.
"This is the first time we can fully counter Letos. So... Cheers!" said Lord Damon as he lifted his glass.
"Cheers." I raised my glass a bit and drank it. There was no over happiness on my face since all I was thinking about was how to make Letos pay for what he had done.
