The Incubus System

Chapter 328: True Demon Lord

“If you hate my Demonic Power, then you should release my Angelic Seal sooner,” I said in a teasing tone. My flat stare turned into a seductive smirk that appeared on my lips.

She quickly lowered her hand awkwardly.

“You wish,” she said curtly.

Well, I didn’t expect her to agree that easily considering how she rejected me yesterday.

“So why did you call me here? You don’t have much time, do you?” I said this by judging our transparent bodies and the state of this place.

“Oh right. I’m here to complain.” From her tone and her gaze, I knew she was serious.

My eyebrows wrinkled in confusion.

“Complaining about what?” Previously, I thought she would ask for my help to break her free from the crystal. But I was wrong.

She folded her arms in front of her chest and gave me another pout.

“You are the one who touched my barrier last night, right? Because of that incident, they strengthened the palace’s protection including the barrier where I was. It even gave me a hard time to cast my dream spell,” she blabbered.

“How could you blame me for that?” I answered her complaint with another complaint.

“Let me get this straight, Miss angel. You wanted to find Erebus but you were trapped in that crystal for a thousand years. You should thank me since I appeared in front of you out of nowhere,” I said in annoyance.

She pressed her lips and diverted her gaze to the other side. Her cheeks were a little red in embarrassment since she couldn’t deny that fact.

“I know, but… I was trying to free myself from this crystal and almost succeeded last time. But the last incident made them strengthen my barrier so I will need more time to break it. Like a year or so,” she said in a much calmer tone. A bit of guilt came from her tone since I mentioned Erebus name.

“I can help you to break it. Just tell me how,” I said.

She returned her gaze to me and shook her head from side to side.

“The current you won’t be able to do it. This is a high-level Holy Barrier and you’re only a High Incubus. You won’t be able to do it. This barrier will also neutralize all of your spells so you can’t use your manipulation spells to spy the palace either.”

“You said the current me, right? If I raise my level, do I have a chance to break that barrier?” I asked.

“It’s not enough. At least you need your Angelic Power so the barrier can recognize you as another angel.”

I pinched the bridge of my nose as I closed my eyes. A tired breath escaped my mouth.

“Oh Lord, not another loop.” I needed her to open my Angelic Seal by doing sex. But to free her body from inside that crystal, I needed my Angelic Power.

But then I remembered the demon hunter vaccine. I lowered my hand and turned to her.

“The demon hunter vaccine. Can I use that to break my Angelic Seal or maybe make the barrier recognize me as an angel?”

“The demon hunter vaccine?” she asked in confusion.

“You know… Something like a medicine that can grant Holy element skills to humans,” I simplified my explanation. Since she had been stuck there for too long I was not sure she knew how much this world had changed.

She was deep in thought a moment before she got my point.

“Oh… Do you mean the Angelic power they extracted from me? It’s only a little and not strong enough to break the seal. Even though they’re taking more lately, it’s still far from enough.” Her words proved my suspicions that the kingdom of Serpent Rock used her to produce their vaccine is true.

“What if I take 2 doses, 3 or more until I could get enough Angelic Power to break my seal?” I gave my ideas.

“Ethan, do you remember what I said yesterday? That you have to kill a High Angel to break your seal?” she reminded me.

“Yes. I remember.”

“That means you need all of my Angelic Power to break it. The magic power they extract from me is only a quarter of my whole power. And they only do it once every two or three months. Do you think that’s enough to break your seal?” With that fact, I predicted her power was the same as Lilieth.

This meant another dead end.

“Is there no other way?”

She was deep in thought for a moment before she shook her head from side to side again

“Unless if you can get a demon lord’s help. He can weaken my barrier and I can break it from the inside. But… I don’t feel like being saved by a demon lord.” Which ended with a nonchalant shrug.

“So if I become a Demon Lord, we can work together to break it, right?” I made sure. At last, a way out after some annoying loop.

This time she was the one who frowned at me.

“You are a Nephilim and your ancestor, Erebus, has lost his surname since birth. How did you become a demon lord?”

“Because Lord Damon has bestowed his son’s power to me,” I replied in a casual tone.

Her eyes widened.

“Wait, you mean you are the next ruler of the dark dimension?” she concluded.

“Yeah.”

She lowered her head. Her brows furrowed again. Her pupils moved from side to side.

“A Nephilim becomes a demon lord? Is that possible?” she muttered.

Unfortunately, our time ran out as an announcement suddenly appeared in front of me.

[The dream spell has been cancelled.]

[You will be out of the dream world in 5…]

The world around me started to crumble and our bodies began to disappear.

“I can’t promise you how long it will take me to become a true demon lord. But I will try my best,” I said.

[4…]

She returned her gaze to me and smiled.

“Puriel Crystallight.”

“Huh?” Another frown on my forehead.

[3…]

“It’s my name. Last time, you asked me about that, right?”

“Nice to meet you, Miss Puriel. Please wait for me,” I said with a smile.

[2…]

“I will.” She raised her hand to touch my cheek one more time before everything turned white.

[1…]

Reflexively, I opened my eyes. The sight of my room ceiling and the morning sunlight entered my eyes. I could feel the warmth of Luna and Yuffy’s bodies who were on both sides of me. Also, their breath tickled my ears. I glanced at the clock.

08.16 AM

I knew I had to get up, but instead, I smirked.

“Puriel Crystallight. Just wait for me,” I muttered.
