The Incubus System-Novel



The Incubus System Chapter 546. The Winner Takes All, The Loser Turns to Dust IV

I was stunned. I never thought dark dimension history could be this interesting. I thought the demon lords were the strongest demons among the others. They took the territory with their power and made other demons acknowledge his/her authority in the same way. But it turned out that it not only required power to become a demon lord, but also the ability to lead and build a civilization. A place where their kind could live. Somehow it made them no different from humans.

I stole a glance at Nefaris.

Well, except for Nefaris of course since she left her place as it was and didn't have any intention to build it. That piqued my curiosity about her territory since I thought the reason wasn't as simple as laziness as Lord Damon said or freedom as Nefaris mentioned.

"What about you, Nefaris? Does your territory have it too?" I asked.

My question made her turn to me.

"The core?" she made sure.

Which I answered with a nod.

"Of course. But I ate it. That's why I can feel everything on my territory. I won't recommend you to do it. It was too much and can lead you to insanity if you are not strong enough to hold it since you can feel every single thing in your area. Birth, death, pain, happiness, and everything. That's why I decided to make it a wild territory. A sanctuary where demons have their freedom to the fullest." A long tired exhale came out of her mouth.

"If not--- I might end up as the dictator controlling every little thing that happens in my territory. I believe freedom is better than a dictatorship," she added in a nonchalant tone.

"I see…" My voice sounded like a mutter.

But then a frown appeared on my forehead as another question popped into my head.

"Wait for a second, I thought the core was some kind of orb or something. How did you eat it? Or is it something similar to Letos' Deathraze?" I asked in confusion. Well, it was my random conclusion since most demons' cores were in the shape of orbs.

"The core has a different shape, depending on the territory. No one knows why they took that form. But most said it adapted to what's around it. In my case, my territory's Demon's Reign took the form of the devil fruit. So I could eat it," replied Nefaris.

With that explanation, I assumed that Nefaris' territory core was probably the only edible core since I had never heard of any other Demon Lords who had full control of their territory except for her.

"Anyway---is that means the dark dimension itself is alive?" I assumed. This world could feel the pain and had a defense mechanism, so that was all I could think of. This was something interesting since the human world didn't work that way. But I couldn't deny that the human world also had its own defense mechanism, like disasters caused by human arrogance to nature and global warming.

Nefaris answered me with a hum.

"Hmm… that's a tough question." She put her fist under her lips and started to think for the right words.

"I could say yes. It's alive but it has no consciousness like us. So it's something similar to a plant. It can respond due to certain things. Like sunlight, rain, wind, temperature, and animals around it. What distinguishes it is the demonic power that flows in all things in this world, including the land. It gives them the ability to fight more fiercely than the human world," Sarael gave me a long explanation. (Sarael was a human before he became a demon general so he understands the basics of the human world. Ref Demon Lord's Succubus).

"So can it communicate? Maybe use sign language or something?" I asked curiously. His explanation made me even more curious.

"Communicating, huh?" This time it was Sarael who hummed and was deep in thought for a while before he opened his voice again.

"I've never heard of that before."

After those words, he turned to Nefaris. So did me and the others. She was the oldest among us so we assumed she knew a thing or two, more than we do.

She frowned and swept her gaze to all of us.

"What?" she retorted before he turned to Sarael. "You act like the demon world's expert just now but throw a tough question at me once you don't know the answer," she complained.

Sarael answered her with a dry smile and turned his gaze to me.

"You heard that? That means she doesn't know either," he said in a cynical tone.

In an instant, displeasure appeared on Nefaris' face.

Realizing this could turn bad, I decided to end this conversation.

"I think what you told me is enough. We have to get the Demon's Reign first," I quickly cut them off and grabbed Nefaris' hand, hoping she would restrain herself.

Luckily Nefaris agreed with me. She held my hand tightly. A smile developed on her lips.

"As you wish. Besides, I'm sure you'll have to meet a lot of demons there.'

'Oh no… please not another crowd,' I thought but I could keep my calm.

"More reasons to get out of this right away." After those words, I went to the exit with Nefaris and the others. But Tania's voice stopped me.

"Wait."

It made me turn to her.

"What about them?" asked Tania. Her gaze pointed at the ashes in the cell.

'Right, I almost forgot about it.' There were no burials or funerals for demons so they usually toss the ashes like nothing. But I guessed Tania asked this because she knew humans treated the deceased better than the demons.

"Please, collect their ashes and bury them," I said. At least it's better than tossing their ashes into the bin or throwing it out on the street.

"Okay." After that answer, I left with the others.

Note: Hi readers. Author is here. I've been sick since last week so I'm late to update. I threw up a lot and got fever. Doctor said I got gastric problem again and it has been happening since 2022. My condition is detorating since then and as results, it is hard for me to write or even to sit in a long time. I need to take a break once in a while. That's why I post so late. I hope you guys can understand. I'm still recovering right now.
