The Incubus System Chapter 216. Why Did He Help Us?

Emma, Ruby and Larry’s PoV

– Boom! – Boom!

Two explosions occurred in their midst. A strong wind was blowing from the explosions as Larry and Ruby’s Holy Blast countered some purple orbs from the ugly purple winged Imp that rained down on the three of them.

– Shhhh!

The loud hissing sound came as the rest of the Imp’s orbs landed on the street, melting the asphalt and making holes around them. The Nefarious Imp flying above them grinned evilly. He deliberately kept his distance so their Holy Chains couldn’t reach him. Another batch of purple orbs was already hovering around the Imp. He knew that with his aerial advantage, he could play around with the demon hunters beneath him.

Meanwhile, Emma thrust her white lance into a Shadow Imp in front of her, hollowing his face and turning him to ashes. Unfortunately, there were at least about 20 more Imps around them since the Nefarious Imp brought at least ten other Shadow Imps with him. Since she didn’t have any ranged attacks except her Mana Strike and someone had to protect Ruby and Larry from the Shadow Imps around them, she concentrated on killing them. Occasionally, she had to avoid that winged Imp’s attacks.

Ruby and Larry pointed their hands at that Nefarious Imp and fired their Holy Blast again. Different from before, their faces looked serious since they knew that Imp wasn’t an easy opponent for them. Even Ruby had contacted the headquarters to request some reinforcement and asked to postpone the evacuation when she saw that Imp. That Imp had a long, wide range attack, if the police evacuated the people around them, it was the same as allowing the Imp to kill those people. While staying in this place wasn’t a good choice either, but it was their best option at the moment.

The Nefarious Imp smirked and dodged the two Holy Blasts easily by flying to the other side. Then he moved his hand to throw his purple orbs at them.

“Watch out!” shouted Ruby to warn Emma who was putting her full concentration to kill the Shadow Imps around them. While Larry prepared his Holy Blast again. Emma ignored it and concentrated on the Shadow Imps in front of her, she didn’t even give a glance at what was happening and continued to swing her white lance at the Imps in front of her.

But suddenly, those purple orbs stopped in the mid-air as if an invisible force was stopping them. It was not only Larry and Ruby that were frowned on in confusion, but also that Nefarious Imp. Then suddenly those Orbs launched back to that winged Imp, raining him with his own orbs.

“Ggggrrrrrraaaahhhhh !!!!!” the Imp groaned in pain as the orbs landed on him accompanied by another hissing sound.

Ruby was stunned, her voice stuck in her throat. Her eyes locked at the Imp in disbelief.

“What the hell …” muttered Larry in the same disbelief as Ruby. His jaw dropped and he slowly lowered his hand.

Meanwhile, Emma concentrated on the fight in front of her since she knew it was Ethan’s Telekinesis skill. That’s why she paid no heed to Ruby’s previous warning. Because she knew Ethan was near them.

As the mouth on the Nefarious Imp’s chest was wide open, another winged figure flew at him. His movements were very fast. They only realized it was another winged demon after that demon had pierced the Imp’s mouth with his sharp claws.

“Gggrrraahhh !!!” Another scream of pain came from the Imp as his body shook violently as if he was struck by a high voltage thunderbolt. After that, the Imp turned to ashes.

“It’s him again …” muttered Ruby. Her eyes were staring at the great demon who was floating in the mid-air. As usual, he wore ordinary human clothes with a cap over his head, making his face unrecognizable. Moreover, their distance was quite far. All they could see from his face were his glinted red eyes staring at them. His wings that resembled a large bat’s wings were wide open and a pair of red horns above his head, signifying his status that he was no ordinary demon. Sharp black claws with thick skin that resembled a pair of strong black gauntlets covered up his hands to his elbows.

“Who is he?” asked Larry curiously. He had never met such a terrifying demon like him before. Even though that demon’s form was much better than the usual demons, he knew the demon in front of them had a great power that could kill hundreds of people in a short time and flatten the area around them.

“He is the great demon that we talked about in the meeting,” replied Ruby. She wanted to attack that demon, not to hurt him but to catch him since she wanted to ask him so many things. Unfortunately, the building around them was full of people and her attack could enrage that demon. With his great demonic power, she was sure he could destroy the surroundings easily. So as long as that winged demon didn’t attack them, she decided not to attack him either.

Without saying a word, that demon stretched out his hand towards them. Twenty black lances appeared in front of him and several of them quickly flew at them. Larry and Ruby gasped, they immediately extended their hands and prepared their Holy Blast to counter it, but it was too lateā€¦ Those black lances were already in front of them. Ruby didn’t expect the demon would suddenly attack them since he helped her and Mrs Clea last time.

But no … Those black lances passed them and killed all the Shadow Imps around them. Larry’s eyes on those black lances that turned the Imps into ashes. From there, he realized that the demon was the one who helped him last week.

That winged demon smirked.

“Didn’t I say I wasn’t your opponent?” he said in a casual tone. His remaining black lances hovered around him. But then, his smirk faded and he turned to the side as if he was looking for something. And just as he had predicted, a scream of fear accompanied by a hissing sound came from where he looked.

Another Nefarious Imp flew on the side of a building two hundred meters from them. A wicked smile on his lips as he savoured the humans’ terrified faces. His Venom spikes were already floating around him, ready to take his victims’ lives. A quarter of that building had melted like a rotten apple eaten by a large caterpillar, exposing the upper floor of that building. The people in it ran downstairs to save themselves. Some people who were too afraid to move, were hiding behind the furniture around them.

The Imp waved his hand to launch his spikes. The people’s screams of fear sounded. Meanwhile, Ruby and the others quickly ran to them, but they knew they wouldn’t make it in time. Unfortunately, they also couldn’t fire their Holy Blast recklessly since the demon was too close to the building.

Luckily, as before, the Venom Spikes stopped in the mid-air as if an invisible force was stopping them. Then the spikes suddenly turned around and attacked the Imp.

“Gggrrraaahh !!!” As the Imp screamed in pain, that great demon waved his hand. His remaining black lances slid at the Imp’s mouth. In just that one strike the Imp turned to ashes.

The people hiding behind the furniture slowly peeked from behind their hiding place in disbelief. Since it was clear, it was the winged demon who helped them, not the three demon hunters who had just arrived near the building. A Demon killed his own kind to help humans? Even they couldn’t believe it if they didn’t see it with their own eyes.

One of them raised his cellphone with trembling hands to take a photo of this extraordinary event. But suddenly his cellphone slipped from his hand and quickly flew towards the demon before he could take the photo, like dust sucked by a vacuum cleaner.

That winged demon turned to the person who tried to take the photo as the cellphone hovered on his side.

“I don’t like paparazzi, Mr Jordan.” Even though he sounded calm, his threat was clear in his tone. Moreover, that demon called his name correctly even though they just met.

“Y-Yes, sir,” that person answered in a stammering voice.

After hearing his answer, the cellphone flew back to him. That demon returned his gaze to the demon hunters who could only be silent below him. Ruby’s feelings were mixed since that demon saved her again. And Larry, he didn’t think that the mysterious person who helped him last week was a demon. Even though he just decided to make him his new mentor after talking to Ethan this afternoon.

Then before they said a word, a black hole appeared behind the demon.

“You have to move faster, demon hunters. The time is ticking,” the demon warned them again as he flicked his wings and flew into the hole. Although he didn’t say it directly, it was clear what he was talking about was the energy disturbance at the border.

Ruby and Larry couldn’t say anything and could only see the demon swallowed by the darkness and the black hole disappeared from their sight.

“Why did he help us?” muttered Larry in confusion. His eyes kept staring in the direction where the demon had disappeared.

“How do I know?” retorted Ruby in annoyance since that question was also bothering her since yesterday.
