The Incubus System Chapter 301. The Nephilim's Descendant I

I just fell asleep, but a foreign female voice suddenly greeted my ears. She sounded like she was calling someone's name but I didn't know who since it was so faint.

"-bus... Erebus." That voice came again.

'So noisy...' I grumbled internally and decided to ignore it since I was too sleepy to answer her. But then I remembered something important. There should be no one on this floor other than me and my women. Besides, this woman called me Erebus, not Ethan or Damian.

"Erebus? Is that you?" This time her voice sounded much clearer.

I opened my eyes and found I was lying in an unfamiliar place.

Quickly, I got up and looked around in confusion, but I didn't find anything. It was just an empty borderless room filled with white light.
'Is this a dream?' Unlike before, I was completely aware that I was sleeping before. Also, judging from the view around me, I was pretty sure this was a dream. I bet my excitement over that angel made me have this weird dream.

"Erebus, why don't you answer me?" the woman's voice came again.

"Show yourself, then we will talk," I said in a nonchalant tone. I wondered what my subconsciousness wanted to tell me. And based on this light background and my thoughts before going to sleep, I could already guess who she was.

The pieces of light around me gathered in front of me and formed the figure of a woman with a pair of wings behind her. Her face was beautiful and elegant. Her long hair that covered her waist was golden yellow. Her height was not much different from Lilieth. Her body was slender and looked fragile but I could feel the tremendous power from there. A simple white dress covered her body and instead of a pair of red eyes like mine, a pair of blue eyes adorned her eyes. A warm smile graced her face. I recognized the woman since I just saw her in Mia's memory.

'Ethan, Ethan, Ethan. You only saw her once. Now you dream of her out of excitement,' I thought. A long breath escaped my mouth. But since this was a lucid dream, I would say and do what I want.
"Who are you? What do you want?" I asked.

"You haven't answered my question. Are you Erebus?" she asked again.

"Do I look like him?" I decided to play with her. I didn't know what Erebus looked like, but since he was Lord Damon's brother, they should have a similar appearance.

She observed me, from my head to my toes.
"I've only seen his image once when he was a kid. So I'm not sure you are him."

"Then what makes you think I'm Erebus?" Again, I said it in a nonchalant tone.

"Your power... I can feel the power of the light and dark inside you. Erebus is the only Nephilim in this world. So no one has that power but him," she said with a frown. Her eyes continued to inspect me in detail.

"You can think of me as him then," I said in a casual tone. Well, that was a weird question since I rarely think about Erebus lately, yet his name popped up out of nowhere. After those words, I turned to the other side and walked at a leisure pace, as if I was strolling in a park.

She quickly followed me.
"So you are him or not?"

I chuckled. This dream was indeed funny.
"I've already answered one of your questions. You should answer one of mine before asking again."

"It's barely called an answer," she retorted with a frown.

But even with her complaint, I kept moving my feet nonchalantly.
"An answer for an answer," I said.

"Fine. What do you want to ask me?" Finally, she gave up.

I stopped in my tracks and turned to her. She also stopped her steps in reflex.
"Why are you looking for Erebus? What is your relationship with him?"

"That's 2 questions," she complained.

"Just answer my first question," I said. After all, she had to explain her relationship with Erebus to answer my first question.

"Erebus... Is my sister's son. My nephew. My sister asked me to take care of him since the higher-ups already realized that she broke the angel's main rules in her exile. By marrying a human," she said in a gloomy tone.

"Then?" I asked her to continue her story.

Her eyes stared into the distance and I could see the overwhelming regret from there.
"Gabrielle knew sooner or later the light dimension would send our sisters to pick her up and based on her husband's temper, she was not sure he would let her go without a fight. So she sent her son's image to me and asked me to look after him, in case everything turned bad. But who knew... Everything was worse than she thought. Her husband turned out to be the demon king. So that meant ... Her son was a Nephilim. In the middle of the battle between our sisters and the demon lord, Gabrielle told me to pick up Erebus in the next village. But I failed... In order to protect myself from the battle's impact, I used the special barrier and it trapped my body in the crystal."

Well, if that was true, it was a nice background story that could explain everything. Unfortunately, I realized this was just a dream, so I guessed it all came from my imagination.
'Shit. I just found out I have a high imagination.'

After a short pause, she spoke again. This time I caught a strong determination in her eyes.
"I don't know how long I've been stuck there. But my mission hasn't changed, I have to find Erebus."

"Thank you for explaining it to me."

"Now, answer my question. Are you Erebus or not?" she asked again.

But instead of answering, I asked her again.
"How about answering one of my other questions before I answer yours?"

"Are you trying to trick me?" she said with a frown.

I chuckled.
"You have felt the power within me and you said it yourself that only Erebus has it. Can't you conclude it?" I decided to give her an uncertain answer.

"But I can feel the dark power within you beyond the light. You are more like a demon than a Nephilim," she retorted.

"Then tell me, how can I awaken my angelic power?"

She frowned in confusion.
"Why didn't Gabrielle ever tell me she had sealed your angelic power?" She held out her hand to me with her palm facing up.

I took a glance at her hand before returning my gaze to her.
"What's that for?"

"Just take it."

Without a word, I took her hand and she closed her eyes. Our hands glowed in white. But only briefly, the glow dimmed and she opened her eyes. Again she looked at me with a frown.
"It's a strong seal. It seals both of your Demonic and Angelic power. But half of your Demonic seal is gone. While your Angelic seal remains intact." She let go of my hand.
"But why Gabrielle never told me that she and Xenos had sealed your power?" she said in wonder.

Then she looked at me suspiciously.
"Moreover, why did she never say that you are an incubus?" she continued.

Meanwhile, my gaze was on my palm since I could feel a strange power when she held my hand. It made me wonder, was this really just a dream?
