The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 157. The Demon In The Flu Mask II

Celia tilted her head to look at me for a moment. I could see her face was filled with confusion. Our eyes met, my heart was beating fast.

'Does she realize that I am her brother?' But I thought it was impossible because 'Ethan' was by her side and previously, she was holding her beloved brother tightly. Besides her last week hickey was gone and I didn't have any birthmark on my body. This was her first meeting with Damian. I also used a flu mask that covered my face. On the other hand, it was clear from my red eyes that I was a demon. And Damian and Ethan's posture was very different. That's why I was guessing maybe she was just shocked that a demon saved her.

Feeling a movement in front of me, I turned my gaze there. Even though my view was blocked by my wings, I could feel the Gruesome Hound brush away some of my Demonic Spikes with its claws. Since the debris didn't fall anymore, I opened my wings, blowing the smoke around me as I released my hug from them. My hand moved forward, arranging half of my Demonic Spikes in front of me as my shield and launched another half at the Gruesome Hound which was accompanied by several of his subordinates now.

"Go! Leave this to me!" I ordered Celia and Foxy in a rude tone. I purposely did that to cover up my identity and prevent the Hounds from discovering that Celia and 'Ethan' were my families. Who knew, other demons were hiding around here.

Celia was still stunned with her eyes fixed me. But Foxy quickly grabbed her hand.

"Let's go!" Foxy pulled Celia towards the exit. Meanwhile, as Celia returned to her senses, her legs moved to follow Foxy, although her attention was still on me and her confusion was still evident on her face.

The Gruesome Hound used his Hound's Rage to melt my Spikes that were attacking him. While the others managed to penetrate his subordinates.

My black lances stabbed them, but since I did it in haste, I couldn't target their critical points.

"GGGRRRRAAAAAHHHH !!!" Screams of pain and hissing sounds could be heard as they fell before me. To be honest, this place was too cramped as my battlefield since I was an aerial type, besides that I couldn't attack recklessly because my attack could injure other people who hadn't managed to escape around here, not to mention my and The Gruesome Hound's attacks were strong enough to turn this place into ruins. That's why I had to bring them to my Devil Space.

After making sure Foxy and Celia were out of this place. Quickly, I moved the rest of my lances towards the Hounds, especially their leader. And The Gruesome Hound responded by throwing his Fire Orbs.

- Boom! - Boom! - Boom!

Our attacks collided in our midst once again as I moved swiftly from side to side avoiding the remaining Fire Orbs that flew past me, causing explosions accompanied by large holes behind me. I recast my Demonic Spike and arranged it into my shield to protect myself from the impact. As a puff of smokes filled the place once again, I took the opportunity to use my Devil Space.

'Devil Space!'

A black cube came out of my palm, a second later it expanded rapidly and covered the place.

[Devil Space has been activated.]

As I used my skill, I could hear a roar.

"RRROOOOOAAARRRR!" Even though the smoke still covered my sight, I could guess The Gruesome Hound summoned his subordinates again.

Unlike before, instead of waving my wings to blow the smoke, I moved several of my Black lances upwards to make a large hole in the ceiling. As they charged towards me, I threw my remaining black lances at them and flicked my wings to fly out of the place.

[Critical hit!]

Since my sight was covered with smoke, my attacks landed randomly on them. Their screams of pain accompanied by the hissing sounds of my Demonic Spikes echoed into the sky. As I came out of the smoke, I recast my Demonic Spike and threw it at the train mercilessly. A smirk on my lips since I finally could fight freely now. My sight also caught a crack on the roof and two Flame Hounds scrambling out of it, clogging the hole.

- SSSHHH .....!

A loud hissing sound was heard as my black lances penetrated the top of the train and showered the Hounds below me with my Demonic Spike, melting the train's ceiling like melted chocolate on a stove. And since the smoke inside the train hadn't completely disappeared, they had a hard time dodging my attack.

- Clang! - Clang!

Clashing sounds could be heard as the Gruesome Hound brushed my two black lances. While the other one managed to injure him.

[Critical hit!]

Once again, painful screams sounded loudly along with the hissing sounds. Without wasting time, I glided at them and The Gruesome Hound greeted me with his Fire Orbs. I recast my Demonic Spike, but instead of using it to counter his attack, I flew from side to side, manoeuvring in the mid-air to dodge his attacks. Luckily, even though I was at the station, the train didn't stop at the shelter but outside.

As I got close enough to him, I didn't throw my lances at him but used my other skill.

'Hell Thunder!'

Dark lightning came out of my hand towards him. As expected, the Gruesome Hound took out a purple miasma from his mouth to counter my attack.

'Gotcha!' I smirked. As he was still busy countering my Hell Thunder, I waved my hand to throw my black lances at him. The Gruesome Hound cast his Fire Volley, but it was too late... my black lances stabbed him and his subordinates.

[Critical hit!]

- Clang! - Clang! - Clang!

The Gruesome Hound brushed off the remaining lances with his claws and tail. His eyes glared at me. While all his remaining subordinates turned to ashes. Then without a pause, I glided at him with my claw ready to tear his body. While he raised his claw to brush it off.

I smirked since I was expecting his movements. When our claws clashed with each other, I used my skill.

'Hell Thunder!'

My dark lightning struck his body directly.

"Arrggggg!" he screamed in pain as his body shook violently. I needed to admit after I turned into a High Incubus, the more I fought, the more I got used to controlling my power. That's why, even though the demon was above my level, as long as he was not an aerial type or had a hidden weak point. I could kill him easily.

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

I swung my other claw to finish him off. Unfortunately, he noticed it and jumped onto the roof behind him to avoid it. He panted in pain, his Fire orbs appeared around him. His eyes that were looking at me were filled with anger. Meanwhile, I also looked at him with the same gaze as I took out my Demonic Spike again.

"You are a demon. Why are you protecting humans?" he said in rage.

I let out wicked laughter.

"Protect them? I think you get me wrong. I just don't like other demons messing around in my territory." I couldn't possibly admit that I did protect them.

He frowned.

"You made the human world your territory? Why I never heard of you?"

I smirked.

"Now you've heard about me. So ..." I threw my black lances at him.

"Get lost!"

He also launched his Fire Orbs at me. As our attacks collided in the mid-air and created a puff of smoke, I glided towards him through the smoke and grabbed two of my lances in front of me. He was dying, he shouldn't be able to move as fast as before.

As I came out from the smoke and appeared in front of him, he swung his claw at me. I brushed it off with the lance in my right hand as I quickly shifted the lance in my left hand downwards. And in one precise movement, I stabbed his head from above, hollowing on top of his head.

[Critical Hit!]

[You have hit a Gruesome Hound for 217 HP. ]

In an instant, he turned to ashes.

After that, I shifted my gaze to the crack and didn't find the two Flame Hounds anywhere.
