The Incubus System Chapter 602. The Incubus' Me Time IV


I closed my eyes and let a series of information rush into my head. It wasn’t much since it was only about a place and Kei only had set foot there once. Around a couple of seconds later, I opened my eyes.


"Thank you, Kei," I said then I stood up. “I must go now. Tell the girls that I'm sorry I can't stay here too long,” I added.


"I understand, Your Highness,” answered Kei. The same as me, he also got up from his seat.


"If I don't contact you with Telepathy within an hour, tell Ivy and the others about this incident and tell them to be careful," I warned him in case something bad happened to me. They were still in the middle of the new recruit’s training and if I contacted them now, they would leave it for sure. Since this was just a spontaneous event so I decided to check this alone.


I opened my portal to the Hole of Doom.


[The Portal has been opened]


As soon as the dark hole appeared in front of me, I walked into it.


"Please take care of yourself, Your Highness," Kei added, bowing politely. I replied by waving my hand without turning to him.


Once I got out of the portal, the scenery around me changed.


The ground was dry and dusty. There were small rocks scattered all over the place. All the trees were withered and dead.


In the middle of it, a large round hole with a diameter of 100 meters was burning. Flames burned inside it and cast black smoke that blocked the moonlight and reflected into the sky. The ground around that hole was covered in ashes, creating a gloomy atmosphere. Thick ash flakes were falling from the hole onto the ground, which made the surroundings look even worse than before.


I could feel dense demonic power around here. Not as thick as the demon lord's but more than mere demons'. But it didn't come from one place. All of it was in the air and filled this place. It was kinda similar to the Cursed Mountain where Lord Damon kept Erebus' swords, but this one was much weaker.


Even though I didn't find anyone, I decided to check my surroundings. Maybe, I could find some clues regarding Zatan and Beel's whereabouts. Who knew if they were in this place before, but immediately ran away after realizing that another demon was approaching this place?


'Well, this could be a trap,' I thought. I had to be on guard since those demons could have been Zatan and Beel's subordinates. They did that on purpose to invite me here for whatever reason. So I decided to use my skill.


‘Evil Eye.’ My dark power gathered in my palm and formed a One-Eyed Demon that flew and surveyed everything from above. With this way, at least I could detect abnormalities more quickly. Except for everything that happened underground, of course. Zatan could be that desperate to lure and fight me 2 Vs 1 here, but if he did that, it would be the same as suicide.


I walked around without activating my Demonic Aura and the side effect immediately appeared as my eyes were able to catch some curious demons hiding between the trunks and approaching me. There were only a few of them at the beginning, but they continued to increase over time. I bet they detected me as a new demon, a low-level one since they couldn't sense my demonic aura at all.


But I paid no heed to them. I concentrated on my surroundings and tried to find anything that could be a clue. Like the battle remnants, skills, or even their traces of demonic aura. But after five minutes of walking around the hole, I found nothing.


The wild demons around me started letting out growls. I could even hear them whispering to each other mixed with the sound of their footsteps.


“Lowly demon. A lowly demon has entered our territory.”


"A disgusting lowly demon."


"Gross."


I exhaled a long breath.


‘They are noisy…’ I thought. Yet, their presence gave me an idea.


A smirk appeared on my lips.


'Then I will let them attack me…' But since I didn't want to be careless, I didn't provoke them but waited for them to attack me.


A couple of seconds later they attacked me. From the north, one group rushed at me while the other group came from the south.


Their numbers were around 30, maybe more. Their shape was humanoid with short tails and thin arms and legs. But their bodies were covered with scales and they had sharp claws. And they were wearing leather armor over their naked body. So they looked like the human world's primitive tribe.


They let out a war cry.


"Kill him! Tear his flesh!"


They rushed at me with their sharp claws. But I remained calm.


'Poison Domain. Paralyze…'


[You have activated your Poison Domain: Paralyze]


[Area: 100 Meters]


[Time remaining: 4:58]


In an instant, the poison spread around the area. The atmosphere turned dark and the poison began to move through the air. As soon as the poison was released, the demons that rushed at me stopped in their tracks and froze. Then, their limbs became immobile and they fell down to the ground. Some of them screamed.


"Eek! Aaahhh!!!"


"Aaaahhhh!!!"


Their painful cries echoed like a pathetic orchestra. The demons were screaming as they were paralyzed. But I didn't care. I paid no attention to their pleas. I simply just stood there and watched them collapse one by one.


"Uuu… Aaa..."


After a while, the attack stopped. What was left was nothing but the demons that were groaning in pain and lay weakly on the ground.


I walked among them and looked for the strongest or the most intelligent one and I quickly found it. I used my Telekinesis to lift his body to me, hovering the demon in the mid-air.


"Let's find out what you saw a few days ago." I extended my hand to him. 'Mind Corruption.'


[The target has been in your Mind Corruption. What do you want to do with his memory?]
