157 [Bonus chapter] Death Trap
Ba-dump. Arad’s heart started beating, he could feel it hitting like a hammer in his chest. [Move!] A voice screamed inside his head. The veins on his arms and legs bulged, his mind wanted to move but his body couldn’t reply.
The veins spread to Arad’s neck. ROAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR! He screamed, his voice shaking the whole building till the windows cracked. The incubus glared back, terrified at the sudden roar.
CRACKLE! A lightning bolt flashed across the hallway. Abels appeared beside the incubus swinging his sword at his neck, “ARAD! I’m thankful!”
The incubus smiled. He ducked down and left Sara standing. Abel’s sword headed toward her neck.
SWOSH! Abel used two swords. He shifted the direction of the first one and sent the second after the ducking Incubus.
CRACKLE! CLAP! With a thunderclap, the hallway flashed. THUD! Abel landed on the end of the hallway with his sister in hand. The incubus landed on the other. A blood droplet dripped across his neck. He wiped it with his thumb, licking it, “You’re a fast one. How come you can move?”
“SARA! SARA!” Abel slapped Sara to wake her up but she was unresponsive. “Wake up!”𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝒈
“So won’t wake up, I knocked her out with magic.” The incubus stood, claws extending from his fingers.
“ARAD! Focus on your breathing and heartbeat, you’re locked in a dream state. You must wake up.” Abel shouted. Arad was able to scream even with the magic, he must be able to fight.
“Even if it has a weaker effect on males. I never heard of a human moving like you.” The incubus giggled, “That man surprised me enough by screaming, but you’re on another level.”
Abel glared at the incubus and then at his sister, “Sorry, but you must wake up!” He lifted his blade, stabbing her in the shoulder and zapping her with lightning.
“GYAAAAAAA!” She screamed, gasping back to life. Sara glared at Abel with tears in her eyes. “You must run away. This place is dangerous.”
the incubus started sweating. “How is that possible? Women can’t break out of the spell even if skinned alive. She wasn’t strong enough to resist since she fell in the first place.”
“You don’t need to know,” Abel helped his sister stand and pushed her toward the door, “Get out of here!”
Abel pointed his sword at the incubus. [Thuder step] CRACKLE! CLAP! He flashed forward, swinging both his swords. A thundering wave exploded as he appeared where the incubus stood.
“I see,” The incubus smiled, hanging from the ceiling, “If both you and your sister could resist the spell. Then it’s either an inherited or a racial ability. My bet on the second, is you two aren’t human.”
Abel glared up at the incubus, lightning crackling from his eyes.

CLAP! CLAP! CRACKLE! CLAP! CLAP! CRACKLE! CLAP! CLAP! CRACKLE! CLAP! CLAP! CRACKLE! CLAP! CLAP! CRACKLE! CLAP! CLAP! CRACKLE! CLAP! CLAP! CRACKLE! CLAP! CLAP! CRACKLE! CLAP! CLAP! CRACKLE!
Arad stood there, he could hear Abel and the incubus fighting. His muscles tensed like springs but were unable to move. His mind went in and out of consciousness. [Break it! Move! Don’t fall asleep!]
CRACK! The ground cracked beneath Arad’s feet. His draconic weight started seeping out as he used more power trying to move.
Thud! Abel’s sister walked back into the brothel, panting with a kitchen knife in her hand. She rushed toward Arad, “You can fight, right?” She swung the knife at Arad’s shoulder.

CLAP! CRACKLE! Abel and the incubus clashed in the hallway. Shattering everything they came into contact with.
Abel moved with lightning and the incubus deflected him with his claws left and right. “You’re an interesting one! I will capture you alive and suck you dry when I can change.”
“Sorry! I don’t intend on becoming your food.” Abel took a deep breath, standing with his swords above his shoulders. [Chain lightning step]
Abel flashed toward the incubus as he did before, swinging his blade. “Idiot, it won’t work!” The incubus dodged.
Abel’s body didn’t stop moving and the lightning never faded. He chased after the incubus immediately.
The incubus gasped, “He’s chasing me?” He kept dodging, but Abel never stopped.
CLAP! Abel finally caught the incubus, slicing his left ear as he missed the head. “Slippery bastard,” Abel growled.
The incubus panted, “Six strikes, chain lightning.” BAM! His ear regenerated.
CRACK! The floor beneath the incubus cracked as something heavy landed. He only saw a fist of flames rushing at his face. “Heh?” CLANG! He swung his claws up, deflecting the strike and jumping back.
Before the incubus could land on his feet, a fiery foot smashed into his face. BAM! BAM! CRACK! He rolled across the hallway and smacked into the wall.
“You bitch!” The incubus growled. Seeing Arad standing there with Sara piggyback on his back.
“Get knocked!” The incubus glared at Arad. His eyes flashed with a pink light. Arad’s body seemed to go limp for a moment, but Sara immediately stabbed him in the shoulder, waking him up. CRACK! Arad balanced himself by stomping the ground.
BAM! Flame burst from beneath Arad’s feet, exploding in a blast that propels him forward. GAH! Sara tightened her grip so she won’t fall. She felt her consciousness slip from her head as Arad accelerated. [Gravity magic] Kept her in place.
FLAP! The incubus tried to escape from the window. CLAP! Abel cut his way, swinging his sword. BAM! Arad attacked from the other side with a kick.
The incubus smiled, sweat dripping from his face. “Two monsters!” He glared at Arad, knocking him again. Thud! He then ducked below him and flew away. Sara wasn’t quick enough to stab Arad and wake him. Abel’s hit missed as he didn’t want to him His sister, or Arad that she’s riding.
The incubus flapped his wings. It isn’t worth it, he needs to run away.
CLING! As he flew, his wings hit a silver thread on the hallway ceiling. It wounded his left wing and he couldn’t flap it.
“What is this?” the incubus growled, falling to the ground. KABOOM! A burst of flame exploded from the ground, sending a metal rod across the incubus’s right leg. GRWAAAAA! He cried in agony, “Who put those things here?”
The incubus looked to the side, opening the door. BAM! BAM! BAM! Three crossbows fired at him. He rolled away panting.
Arad smiled as Sara woke him up. “Jack is helping,” He giggled.
“He’s unconscious. The incubus’s magic knocked him out.” Abel stared at Arad.
“I bet he laid those traps as he worked. They only activate on an order, and will hit you a combo.”
Jack’s traps aren’t normal. He strings them together so you can’t activate trap 2 before 1. And the moment you fall into trap 1 it pushes you to fall into trap 2, and that sends you to 3.
The incubus glared toward the unconscious jack in the staff room. That asleep man has turned the whole brothel into a death trap.
