The Incubus System Chapter 646. You Are The Lord of Perverts? I

Ethan’s PoV

I closed my eyes and let my body sink into the soft mattress of my bed. A long sigh out of my mouth. It was almost midnight, and the quiet of the night was only disrupted by the occasional hoot of an owl. I was surrounded by the peace and comfort of my own space, and I was able to let my guard down for a moment.

My pajamas felt comforting against my skin, and the shower I had taken earlier helped wash away the exhaustion of the day. Especially since Foxy slept with Celia and my pets slept in their new bed, so I had my bed for myself tonight.

Despite my luxurious bed in the demon world, nothing could ever compare to the comfort of my own bed, my own room. It was like a warm embrace, welcoming me back with open arms after a long night's hunt. The soft mattress and fluffy pillows seemed to melt my body, offering a level of comfort that I could never find in any other bed.

Yet my mind couldn’t rest…

'I just returned to the human world, but another task is waiting for me,' I thought as I stared at my room ceiling. I had traveled between the human world and the demon world as I had to bring Yuffy to heal Larry. His wounds were enough to make me feel guilty. Knowing that he was hurt because of me, I knew I had to do something to help him.

As for the night hunt, it was a success, and I couldn't help but feel proud of my pets. They were still new to the game, but their skills were honed and sharp. We traveled to several different places, including abroad, to ensure that our hunt was not obvious to others. During our hunts, we encountered only a few demons, which was exactly what I expected. It seemed that the majority of demons were in Lightglen City, and the cities around it. It was clear that it seemed like everything would go down in that city.

'Just sleep,' I thought again as I closed my eyes.

As I lay in my bed, I desperately tried to push away all the thoughts in my mind and just focus on sleeping. Unfortunately, despite my intentions to rest and recharge, something was pulling me away from a peaceful sleeping time.

I felt the familiar feeling pull on my consciousness, as if someone or something was trying to drag me. I felt myself being pulled into the void of my own mind, into a world that I only knew from my dreams.

Then, I could feel a warm embrace wrap around me. It was a sensation that I was familiar with. A familiar scent of the person, a sweet aroma.

"Ethan! Finally, you're back!" A woman’s voice came from above me. Her voice rang with happiness and her hug only grew tighter.

With a sigh, I opened my eyes and as I expected, I was already in the middle of nowhere. Which meant I was inside Puriel's dream spell.

"I'm back, my dear aunt," I greeted her.

Her smile only grew brighter at my words, and she let go of her embrace, taking a step back to look at me with a mixture of pride and fondness. "Welcome back, Ethan. I've missed you so much."

I could see the pure joy and relief written all over her countenance. Her eyes sparkled with an inner light, her cheeks flushed with happiness, and her lips turned upwards into a beaming smile. It was as if all of her worries and concerns had melted away in an instant, leaving only the pure joy of seeing me again. 

"I'm glad not much has changed from you!" Puriel exclaimed, her face alight with happiness.

I sat down and smiled, taking in the familiar surroundings of her dream spell. "Really?" I asked, intrigued by her assessment.

She narrowed her eyes and brought her face closer to mine, studying me with an intensity that made me feel as if I were under a microscope. "Hmm..." she hummed thoughtfully, as if deep in thought. "Actually, something has changed," she added after a moment's consideration.

I smiled dryly, the corners of my mouth turning upwards in a wry smirk. "What's it?" I asked, somewhat bemused. After all, this was my human form, and it should be no different from before.

"Your power," she said, still observing me closely. "You are stronger now, and more like... a true demon." Her voice was filled with a mixture of awe and fascination as if she were trying to make sense of the changes she saw in me.

A long exhale escaped my lips. "Of course," I said with a nod. "I'm a demon lord now." The words came easily to my lips as they were an undeniable truth.

Puriel pulled away from me slightly as if taken aback. "You are?" she asked, her voice filled with surprise and disbelief.

She frowned as she took another long look at me, her eyes roving over every inch of my form as if searching for some kind of telltale sign of my newfound status. "But you don't look like one," she added, her voice filled with confusion.

I chuckled, the sound escaping my lips in a dry, almost humorless, manner. "This is my human form, remember?" I reminded her, my tone gentle but firm.

After a moment of silence, as she continued to observe me closely, she asked, "What kind of demon lord are you?" Her tone was filled with curiosity and a hint of skepticism.

Again, I smiled dryly, the expression a natural reflex to the situation. "Have you forgotten what kind of demon I am?" I asked her, my voice filled with amusement.

"Incubus," she answered promptly, her eyes still focused intently on my face.

"Yes," I replied with a nod. "So I'm the incubus lord now."
