The Incubus System Chapter 604. No Clue

“Hmm..." He hummed and thought for a while before he spoke again. "I'm not sure about that. But we can try,” answered Lord Damon. His doubt was evident in the tone of his voice.

The crack didn't work like my Barrier which only existed in one place. Sometimes, yeah, it opened up in the same place. Sometimes, the crack got carried away with the energy flow and it would open elsewhere. Or sometimes, it took a few moments before the energy damage occurred. 

So simply, the energy border did not stay in one place like I thought before, it moved like a stream of a river. The difference was that, if a river moved in one direction, the border energy moved in a different direction depending on the ruler of this world's power. In other words, it depended on Lord Damon.

Many factors influence it, his emotions, his power, his conditions, and his feelings. Once I took the throne it would act depending on me. So what Myra did in the lab before was something really extraordinary.

I had to admit she was a genius since her magic tech portal stopped the energy flow and opened it by force so the two worlds could be connected to each other. More than that, it stayed in one place for a long time and didn't move like a wild crack.

As for the demons who tried to open the crack by mixing their demonic powers, it worked like a virus that infected a human body and weakened the host's health over time. But in this case, it created a crack between the demon world from the human world.

But when we had difficulty in detecting where the crack would open in the demon world, it was easier for us to detect it in the human world. Lightglen, Nighthallow, and Ironshade Town. If the border disturbance was too severe, cracks would most likely appear between the three of them. Especially in Lightglen City.

Those three places were the same as the organs that had been damaged. The energy border that protected the three of them had been damaged by the war between Lord Damon and Erebus a thousand years ago. Even Lord Damon couldn't restore it to how it was before, so Zatan and Beel would most likely appear in one of those cities.

I didn't know if I should be happy or sad since I lived in Ironshade town which meant I could keep an eye on those three places easily. But on the other hand, all my friends and partners also lived in those places, so it would be dangerous for them. So even though the easiest way to catch Zatan and Beel was to wait for them to branch off the border and escape to the human world, I prefer to deal with them before.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." I snapped my fingers and used my Teleportation. My dark aura engulfed both of us. In an instant, we were already in front of the border room.

We entered it and walked to the end of the room.

"Have you never tried this before?" I asked curiously without stopping my steps. There were many things I hadn't learned in the demon world. Especially about the cracks and energy borders.

“This has never happened before. The demons usually only rely on wild cracks to escape to the human world. The only anomaly thing was what that crazy female human did.” I knew he meant Myra.

“Did you detect what she was doing through this place too?” I guessed.

“Yes,” he answered. "It was too obvious and I could feel it. So I went here to check it and found out about that portal. But since I knew that it was related to Letos, I decided to use it to trap him." A sharp exhale out of his mouth. "Unfortunately, it was a failure."

"I see. That's why you didn't let me kill her." A trace of disappointment was clear in my tone as I remembered how bad my killing intent was when I found she drugged my human dad to decrease his power.

We stopped our conversation once we arrived at the end of the room. Our gaze fell to the gate in front of us. I could see some dots but it wasn't as much as before. But it quickly disappeared. It signified someone had closed them. I bet it was closed by Lord Damon's elite soldiers. Those five people were pretty strong and had Dark Energy skill to cover the cracks.

As for the others, there weren’t any problems or suspicious movements from them.

"I think they haven't succeeded yet," said Lord Damon.

"Maybe the two of them aren't strong enough to create it," I analyzed. There were Letos and Syntyche in their last battle. I was sure they played a lot of roles to create the cracks.

"I guess so," answered Lord Damon. "I will place some spies to make sure they aren't approaching other demon lords," he added.

"I think that is the best solution for now," I stated as I couldn't think of another good way.

After that, we continued to stare at the gate for a while. But nothing happened.

"Maybe we should stop here?" suggested Lord Damon.

"Yes," I agreed.

We turned around and walked to the entrance.

"Since you have nothing to do, how about accompanying me for a drink and joining me for dinner?" he asked. “We need to talk about your coronation ceremony after all.”

“Coronation ceremony?” I repeated with a frown. “Was yesterday's conference not enough?” I asked.

“It’s not a simple ceremony. But also a clarification that the throne will be yours in the future. No one can have it,” he explained. He snapped his fingers and used his Teleportation skill.

"Okay. I'll join you then." I nodded. As the dark aura disappeared, we were already in the mansion's entertainment room.
