The Incubus System Chapter 643. The Great Demon Has Returned III

Upon my reaction, my pets came closer to my side. They were also curious about what I saw. "You look happy, Your Highness," Shadow said. The trace of sarcasm was clear in his tone as he looked at me curiously.

"He is not happy, he is plotting something," Rave corrected him. A hint of excitement was in his tone.

"What are you looking at, Your Highness?" asked Red, his eyes following mine to Nathan.

A short chuckle came out of my mouth as my smirk turned to a grin. "Just a bunch of confused demon hunters," I said, my eyes still focused on Nathan. "And a human who thinks of me as his nemesis," I added a hint of amusement in my voice.

"That weak human?" asked Buni, her eyes also on Nathan. "Should I get rid of him?" he asked, a hint of eagerness in his voice.

"Not yet. I don't know what he wants yet. Besides, he might be useful for me later," I said as I watched Nathan and the other demon hunters.

"What is your plan?" Red asked, turning to me.

"I haven't thought about it. It depends on the association's plans," I confessed. "In the meantime, I'll let him be," I said, standing up without taking my eyes off the demon hunters. "But of course... if he is in my way, I will get rid of him."

With that, I opened my portal to another place, and we stepped into the darkness.

The Demon Hunters’ PoV

The demon hunter walked cautiously through the city, their eyes scanning the towering buildings that loomed above them. Their hearts raced with anticipation, for they knew that the demons they sought were hiding somewhere among the concrete and steel. They clutched tightly to their Demon Compass. That device had guided them on many successful hunts in the past. But today, something was different.

As they made their way through the streets, they couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The compass on their wrist seemed to be pointing them in the wrong direction, leading them to empty alleys and an empty area. Each time they arrived at a location, they found nothing but disappointment and frustration.

"Is the compass broken?" they muttered to themselves, their eyes glued to the device as they searched for any signs of malfunction. But as they examined it closely, they couldn't find anything wrong. It seemed to be in perfect working order.

Their minds raced with possibilities, trying to make sense of what was happening. Was it possible that their compass had broken at the same time as they were hunting? That seemed highly unlikely. But what other explanation could there be? They had been using this compass for years and had never had any issues with it before.

As they continued their search, the demon hunter couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The city felt different today as if it was hiding something from them. The tall buildings seemed to be closing in on them, making them feel small and insignificant. But more than everything, they couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched, but every time they turned around, there was no one there.

The hunter pressed on, determined to find the demons they were after. They knew that the stakes were high and that every moment counted. But the compass seemed to be leading them in circles, taking them to the same places over and over again.

Nathan prowled through the dark alleyways, his eyes scanning the shadows for any signs of movement. His heart pounded with adrenaline as he prepared for the hunt but the same as others, he found nothing.

After several failures, as he rounded a corner, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye. A shadow moved swiftly and silently through the darkness. Nathan's heart skipped a beat.

He pressed his back against the wall, his feet pounding against the pavement as he chased after the shadow. He could feel the excitement building inside of him. But just as he turned around, the shadow vanished into thin air.

“It can’t be…” he muttered. His eyes scanned the area for any signs of where the demon might have gone. But there was nothing there. No trace of the shadow, no indication of where it might have disappeared to.

He let out a frustrated growl, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. He had been so close, and yet again, he had found nothing. This had been happening more and more lately, even though he had just received an addition of power from a new vaccine. He felt his anger boil over as he realized that the demon was getting more elusive and harder to catch.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He knew that getting angry would only cloud his judgment and make it harder for him to catch the demon. As he stood there, trying to decide what to do next, he couldn't shake the feeling that the demon was toying with him, leading him on a wild goose chase.

It was he who had suggested that the advanced class demon hunters should be on the front line and have a longer hunting time. He believed that the association could not rely on ordinary demon hunters or even the top-class ones to capture the Great Demon. He thought that the main reason why they never managed to get any information about the Great Demon was that the low-level demon hunters were in their way.

As he was deep in thought, Nathan couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. He couldn't explain why, but he felt like someone with a strong power was watching him from somewhere. He turned his gaze to the tallest building nearby, somehow feeling like the source of the power was coming from there. But he found nothing. The building was too tall, to begin with, and no one could watch him from there.

‘Is it just my feeling?’ he thought to himself, feeling a sense of confusion and uncertainty.
