The Incubus System Chapter 158. The Demon In The Flu Mask III

I recast my Demonic Energy and Demonic Spike skills as my feet stepped closer to the crack.

[Demonic Energy has been activated.]

[STR: 60 + 108]

[AGI: 50+ 90]

[Time remaining: 4:58]

My gaze swept around, looking for the demons’ location as my black lances hovered around me. But I didn’t find any movement.

‘Looks like they’re planning to attack me when I use my dark energy to cover the crack.’ Though I knew their plan, I had no other choice but to do it since the longer the crack was open, the more demons would come.

I stretched my hand to the crack and used my skill.

‘Dark Energy.’ At the same time, I controlled my black lances to protect me from all sides.

The dark aura emanating from my hand began to cover the crack. Luckily, I didn’t see any other demons from the dark dimension marching towards it. And just as I expected, suddenly dozens of Fire Orbs flew at me from all directions. Quickly, I shifted my black lances position, arranging all of them and turned them into my shield, blocking their attacks from reaching me. I knew I wouldn’t be able to withstand their attacks if I threw my Spikes 1 vs 1 with their Fire Orbs, that’s why I used this method and hoped my ’emergency shield’ could withstand it. But one for sure, successful or not, with that many Fire Orbs, I had to be prepared for the impact

– BOOM!

A huge explosion occurred as soon as the Orbs landed on my shield. A strong wind was blowing from where the explosion occurred and a violent quake followed. The heat burned my back, luckily it wasn’t hot enough to burn my clothes.

I gritted my teeth as I maintained my position without breaking my skill. As I struggled, a roar came.

“Roaarrrr!” As if on cue, dozens of Grim Hounds suddenly came out of their hiding places and charged at me.

‘Shit!’ I couldn’t use my skill as long as I was still using my Dark Energy.

My eyes kept watching them as they drew closer. In an emergency, I had to cancel my skill.

Luckily, the crack closed faster than I thought.

[The crack has closed.]

[You have used up 20 DP.]

As soon as the announcement appeared before me, I flicked my wings to dodge as the Grim Hounds pounced on me. Missing their target, they ended up crashing into each other.

[The Grim Hound has taken 41 physical damage.]

[The Grim Hound has taken 43 physical damage.]

[The Grim Hound has taken 38 physical damage.]

[The Grim Hound has taken 38 physical damage.]

[The Grim Hound has taken 43 physical damage.]

And I took the opportunity to attack them.

‘Demonic Spike!’ My black lances flew at them.

[Critical hit!]

[You have shot a Grim Hound for 215 HP. ] X2 X10 *

* He shot 10 of them.

After that, what happened was a one-sided massacre by me. Since the Grim Hounds didn’t have ranged attack skill, I showered them with my Demonic Spike and killed them easily. But they kept coming as if their numbers were endless.

‘I have to locate those Flame Hounds.’

I took out my Demonic Spike again. But instead of using it to attack the demons, I threw them at the pillars around me to tear down the station. Those two demons should still be around here. I guessed they intended to drain my DP and stamina before attacking me. That’s why they only used their subordinates to attack me instead of attacking me directly.

Loud hissing sounds came from the pillars that were starting to melt. Within seconds, the station lost its supports, the roof began to falter and eventually fell.

– Krrrkk —– Krrkkk —– Kkkkkrrrrrkkkk ——- BRAKKK !!!

Suddenly two huge flames emerged from two different places, piercing through the collapsed roof, exposing those Flame Hounds. As they countered the roof from falling over them, I took out my Demonic Spikes and threw it at one of them and glided at the other.

– Clang! – Clang! – Clang!

The Flame Hound managed to brush off some of my Demonic Spikes, but because there were too many of them, finally some of the lances pierced his body.

[Critical hit!]

[You have shot a Flame Hound for 215 HP. ] X5

The Flame Hound turned to ashes.

Meanwhile, I swung my claw at the other. Again, as our claws collided, I used my Hell Thunder. At the same time, he opened his mouth. Since I expected him to attack me with his Flame Thrower, I lowered my head to dodge his attack.

As the dark lightning that came out of my hand struck his body, I could feel his flame passing above my head.

[You have struck a Flame Hound for 144 HP. ]

Without wasting time, I stabbed my claw into his stomach.

[You have hit a Flame Hound for 168 HP. ]

[The Flame Hound is in bleeding effect.]

[Its HP will decrease by 1 point per second]

“Arrgggg!” He screamed in pain and staggered backwards. Seeing that opportunity, I grabbed his head with both of my hands and smashed it against my knee.

[Critical hit!]

[You have hit a Flame Hound for 502 HP. ]

As he staggered back, I kicked his head.

[Critical hit!]

[You have hit a Flame Hound for 506 HP. ]

He was thrown and turned to ashes.

The Grim Hounds who were approached to save their leader stopped behind me in shock. Slowly, I turned to them and grinned evilly. My black lances reappeared around me.

“C’mon. Let’s finish this,” I said with a smirk.

They retreated slowly in fear. But, of course, I wouldn’t let them escape. I walked towards them, stepping onto the rubble roof of Nighthallow Station casually and waved my hand forward. My black lances glided at them, piercing their bodies.

[Critical hit!]

[You have shot a Grim Hound for 217 HP. ] X2 X10 *

* He shot 10 of them.

Seeing his friends turned to ashes, the rest of Grim Hounds fled in a different direction.

Quickly, I flicked my wings, bringing my body upwards so I could attack them more easily and took out my black lances again. I raised my hands and moved them like a conductor leading a big orchestra. The difference was that my instrumentalists and my musicians were my black lances chasing the Demons like the hunter’s arrows chasing naughty rabbits.

“Graaahhhh!” Screams of pain came from all directions, like a discordant orchestra followed by the announcement that the Grim Hounds had died one by one.

*Ting!*

[All enemies have been defeated!]

[Congratulations! You have completed your daily quest!]

[Level Up!] [Level Up!]

[You are now Level 30.]

[You have 17 unused stat points.]

[You have 3 unused skill points.]

[You have earned a new title: Protector. Protect the people you love. WIS + 5 LUK + 5]

“Nice,” I muttered with a satisfied smile. I was so relieved, I could save Celia and Foxy on time.

Slowly, I got down and landed my feet on the ground or rather on the rubble. My eyes swept around me as my brain tried to remember where I could be hiding. Even though my fight with the Hounds only took 10-15 minutes, I didn’t know what happened outside my Devil Space during that time, it could be that the police and rescue team had already come to this place. And I didn’t want to appear in front of them.

After confusing for a while, I finally decided to hide in the previous train where the Hounds were locking the hostages.

I stepped on that roofless train before raising my hand and clenched it.

‘Devil Space Deactivated.’

The sky above me broke like glass and uncovered the real evening sky. All the damage caused by my previous battle suddenly disappeared, the Nighthallow Station ruin returned to normal and the roof reappeared above my head. As I returned to my original world, I could feel someone’s presence behind me. Guessing it was a member of the police or rescue team, I decided to threaten him before he screamed.

Quickly, I took out my Demonic Spike, grabbed one of my black lances and aimed it at him. As I turned around, I was stiffened in shock with wide eyes when I saw Celia standing not far from me with the same expression.
