The Incubus System Chapter 541. The Remaining of The Alliance I

Zatan's PoV

“Bloody hell… So Letos wasn't lying after all,” Zatan muttered in shock. His eyes were fixed on the TV in front of him, staring at the mysterious incubus who had just turned Letos into ashes. The incubus sat proudly on the throne, reminding him of Damon when he had just taken over the throne.

Zatan had just arrived at his mansion when he felt a tremendous power similar to the king's coming from Licheri. Soon after, his servants suddenly approached him in a hurry and asked him to immediately watch TV. They said there was something big going on at Licheri and it had something to do with Letos.

He thought Letos made another conference and acted like a victim as usual and Lord Damon snapped and then decided to kick his ass. It was the only guess that explained all of it, at least for him.

But he was wrong… It was Letos and the mysterious incubus' death battle. No, it wasn't just a death battle, but it also exposed the mysterious incubus' identity that had been attacking them all along.

Rage and regret infiltrated Zatan's heart. He gritted his teeth and felt like he wanted to break that demon right now. He couldn't believe that the incubus had used him to overthrow Letos. More than that, he couldn't believe he had fallen straight into the incubus trap. Still, it didn't mean he felt sorry for Letos.

"What should we do, my Lord?" His servant's panicked voice brought his attention back to reality. He should act carefully to face this. Especially since he had to deal with this Damon's spawn.

Zatan didn't answer immediately but was deep in thought.

'He just fought Letos. If we attack him at the same time, we'll win,' he thought. But on the other hand, he was also afraid of Lord Damon and Lilieth. Moreover, the incubus claimed he was their child. If that was true, it meant they would fall straight into another trap.

'No. That incubus should have known about the alliance, but he didn't make a move. This must be a trap!’ In other words, the king and Lilieth could have been waiting for them there. Once they took the bait, the king would execute them. Even at full strength, Zatan knew he, Beel, and Syntyche would not be able to defeat the king and Lilieth. Plus that royal incubus and Nefaris. It was the same as suicide.

"My Lord?" said the servant again. This was the first time they saw an obvious trepidation on Zatan's face. He didn't even say anything.

“Call Beel for me,” Zatan ordered without further ado.

"Yes, My Lord," said the servant and he immediately did his order. Yes, only Beel, since he remembered it was Syntyche who said that the incubus was Letos. Even if she had tried to warn them with her analysis, who knew it was a trap? After all, Syntyche was the most suspicious among them.

Zatan plopped himself onto the sofa and flicked his index finger, asking the servant to get him a drink. A tired exhale came out of his mouth. He never thought this alliance would end this badly and create a new bigger problem.

Another servant quickly poured him a glass of wine and gave it to him.

He took it and turned to the others.

“You, tidy up my luggage. All this shit makes me want to go on vacation.” He gave another order.

Of course, he didn't plan on taking a real vacation but ran away before he found a way to take care of this. It was just that he couldn't tell his subordinates due to his dignity as a leader. After all, judging from how the mysterious incubus' act was, Zatan concluded he was only targeting the demon lords, not their subordinates, or killing the demons around him mindlessly. In other words, that incubus would only target him.

"Yes, My Lord," replied the servant. Even though he was confused by Zatan's request, he didn't dare to say a word.

As he waited, Zatan's eyes were fixed on the TV, watching the screen intently. How the incubus behaved and tried to analyze whether all of this was just Letos' charade or not. He didn't want to rule out all the possibilities since all could have happened. Letos was a cunning demon. While no one could guess Damon's thoughts behind his cold face and arrogant attitude.

It was only a few moments before Beel picked up the phone. The servant immediately gave it to Zatan.

“Hey, have you seen the news?” said Zatan without further ado, and didn't bother to greet him.

"I'm watching it right now. That bastard has managed to play a trick on us,” answered Beel. His anger was clear from the tone of his voice.

“He will come to us soon. Do you have any ideas to handle him?” asked Zatan. Again, he didn't want to say that he was planning to run away due to his dignity.

"I have," answered Beel.

"Tell me."

“What if we escape to the human world?” said Beel straight to the point.

A frown of confusion immediately appeared on Zatan's forehead.

"How? You know the king has strengthened the border right? And we can't count on the cracks." But Zatan was happy that Beel had the same thoughts as him about escaping. Since they shared the same idea it should be easier.

“I know how to make the cracks,” Beel said confidently.

"What?" said Zatan in disbelief and shock.

“Well, this is just my guess. But we can give it a try,” added Beel.

"How did you know that? Why didn't you tell me?" Zatan asked impatiently. He couldn't believe Beel was hiding such important information from him.

“I also just realized it and thought you've noticed it too," said Beel.

"What are you talking about?" Zatan was even more confused.

A long exhale came out of Beel's mouth.

“Ha… So you didn't notice the cracks.”

“Cracks? What cracks?” asked Zatan in confusion.

“When we fought Letos after we attacked him with our Ulti, I saw that there were some small cracks around us,” Beel explained.

"Really?" asked Zatan in disbelief. He was indeed not paying attention to it.

"Yes. Unfortunately, it closed in a second. I think our Ulti has disturbed this world's energy balance. But it's not strong enough to make bigger cracks. That's why it immediately repairs itself," Beel analyzed.

A smile appeared as Zatan listened to Beel's explanation. This could be their way out.

“Can you tell me more about it?”
