The Incubus System Chapter 645. The Demon Hunter and The Great Demon II

Larry’s PoV

Larry's eyes fluttered open slowly, and for a moment, he simply lay there, staring blankly at the ceiling. As his mind began to clear, a sense of disorientation washed over him.

Suddenly, a jolt of realization shot through him, and he snapped his eyes open in shock. He sat upright in bed, his heart pounding in his chest as he remembered what had happened. He remembered the drowsiness and the strange feeling that something was not right.

Larry's mind was a maze of confusion and uncertainty as he tried to make sense of what had just transpired. He rubbed his eyes, trying to dispel the grogginess that still clung to him, and glanced around his room, searching for any clues that could shed light on the situation. But everything appeared to be normal - his game console and TV were still in the same place, his demon hunter uniform was still neatly tucked away inside his body pillow, and the darkness outside the window indicated that it was still night.

'Huh? Did I pass out?’ he thought in confusion.

He reached over to the nightstand and picked up the clock, squinting in the dim light as he tried to make out the time. To his surprise, the clock showed that it was almost midnight, which indicated that he must have been out for several hours. This realization caused his heart to race as he wondered what could have caused him to pass out so suddenly.

'What happened?' he thought, his frown deepening as he struggled to recall any details from before he lost consciousness.

He tried to piece together what had just happened. He remembered that he saw the figure of a woman. She had whispered something, but he couldn't quite make out what it was. Despite his efforts, the memory was hazy and blurry, like a dream that had already begun to fade away.

Feeling a bit disorientated, he tried to shake off the drowsiness and glanced around the room, looking for any sign of the mysterious woman, but she was nowhere to be found. His heart was racing as he tried to make sense of the event.

'Was it just my imagination?' he thought to himself, his brow furrowed in confusion. He considered the possibility that he had simply fallen asleep and was experiencing some sort of dream. But, something about the experience felt real and vivid, making it hard for him to dismiss it as just a dream.

Larry took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he had been feeling tired lately so he guessed it must be the case. As he realized that his mouth felt dry and was in dire need of a drink to calm himself down, he got up from the bed and decided to go to the kitchen. But when he walked past the mirror in his room, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

‘Huh?’ Something caught his eye, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back to take a closer look. He gazed into the mirror, and his jaw dropped in disbelief.

To his surprise and disbelief, the bruises that had been on his face were no longer there. He touched his face, thinking it might have just been his imagination playing tricks on him, but the bruise was definitely gone. In addition to that, all the bandages that had been on his face were also missing.

Larry's jaw dropped open, his mind struggling to comprehend what he was seeing. He couldn't believe that his injuries were now completely gone. 

“No way…” he muttered in disbelief.

Slowly, he began to move his body, checking if there was any pain left. To his surprise, he felt no aches or discomfort anywhere. He then unbuttoned his shirt and took a closer look at his body. Every single bruise he had was nowhere to be found.

He turned his body from side to side, examining himself in awe. 

"No way," he muttered once again, this time with an increased sense of bewilderment. He couldn't comprehend what had just happened. How could all of his injuries have just disappeared into thin air?  

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. "What exactly happened just now?" he thought out loud, still in a state of confusion.

As Larry stood in front of the mirror, trying to wrap his mind around the shocking discovery of his suddenly healed body, he found himself struggling to come up with any logical explanation. He searched his memory for any recent events that could have caused such a miraculous recovery, but nothing came to mind.

However, one thought did cross his mind, a thought so absurd and seemingly impossible that Larry almost dismissed it instantly. But the more he thought about it, the more it seemed to be the only viable explanation. The Great Demon.

Larry remembered how one of the demon's servants had the ability to heal humans. Could it be possible that the Great Demon’s servant had healed him in his sleep? The idea was ridiculous, but at the same time, the only explanation that made sense.

He quickly took out his Demon Compass, his hand shaking slightly as he fumbled with the device. A jolt of fear hit him when he saw the screen. It was true - there was a demon nearby when he was asleep. A high-level one.

Slowly, he sat down on his bed, his heart was pounding fast and he felt a sense of disbelief wash over him. He realized that he was incredibly lucky since despite what his Demon Compass showed, and yet, here he was, completely unharmed.

But above all, a question echoed in his head. "Why did The Great Demon help me?" he said in confusion. His hand, clutching the Demon Compass, was resting in his lap, and he couldn't help but question why. It was evident that the demon had a specific purpose in coming to him and healing him in secret, and this made Larry wonder what that purpose could be.

As he sat there, deep in thought, he couldn't help but think of the many questions that were plaguing his mind. How did the Great Demon even know that he was injured and in need of healing? Why didn't he come to help him in the first place, when he was originally injured? Why did he wait several days before finally coming to heal him?

Larry's thoughts were interrupted by yet another question. Why did the Great Demon choose to help him, of all people? And that made him even more confused.

“I don't understand…” he finally muttered. For sure, Larry had no interest in sharing this information with the association. So he decided to find out for himself.
