Chapter 456: Demon Tag
The Incubus System Chapter 454. Demon Tag
Lord Damon’s PoV
The sound of footsteps echoed on the 99th floor’s Illusion Night First Tower. Two incubi ran down the corridor, trying to escape from a demon who was chasing them.
The smell of death and the heavy atmosphere that enveloped the place pierced their bodies. Even though they were elite soldiers, the fear that gripped their hearts was so intense to the point they almost let out their screams many times. Moreover, they had just seen that demon kill their leader.
They ran faster. Their eyes looked around them, trying to find a way out but they couldn’t find it. Over time, they could feel their legs getting heavier. Every step was a painful thing for them.
Occasionally, they threw their Storm Spike at that demon. Although they didn’t expect it could kill him, they hoped the skill could slow him down.
Strangely, even though that demon only walked at a leisurely pace, no matter how fast they ran they couldn’t escape him.
After they turned at the end of the corridor, they realized there was a door on their side. Without another thought, they went in and intended to escape through the window or hide.
But when they had just closed the door, Lord Damon was already in the room. His evil smirk was on his face. He stretched out his hand to read their minds, but those incubi decided to end their lives.
Without hesitation, they slit their own throats with their claws, turning their bodies into ashes. For them, it was better than being caught.
A disappointed sigh escaped Lord Damon’s mouth as he lowered his hand.
“Here go my toys,” he muttered in a nonchalant tone. He already read one of them before and found nothing. So he wasn’t sure he could get any important information from them either.
He used his Teleportation skill. His body turned into a dark aura and moved to the previous corridor. As soon as he appeared, two headless demons who had just been combing the place followed him from behind.
“How’s the situation?” asked Lord Damon without further ado. His feet strode towards the throne room.
“Tower one is clear, Your Majesty. But we haven’t heard anything from Tower two,” answered one of them.
“Tch!” He clicked his tongue in annoyance. Despite all his preparation, he didn’t expect Letos’ elite soldiers to be more slippery than he expected.
Shortly, a headless demon spoke again.
“Oh wait. Tower Two is clear, Your Majesty. We’ve cleaned them all,” he reported.
“Did they manage to catch anyone?” he confirmed.
“Nothing, Your Majesty. Those intruders chose to end their lives,” replied a headless demon.
“Too bad,” muttered Lord Damon. Even though it was bad news, it wasn’t enough to wipe the smirk off his face. He was very happy that this plan managed to lure all the Letos’ soldiers into the capital.
Just like what Damian and he had predicted, Letos used this incident to attack the capital. Illusion Night Towers to be exact.
The attack started when Lilieth started to give her speech. Some demons suddenly barged into the building from the doors and the windows. From that attack, it was clear that Letos had been preparing for this for a long time. All of them were highly trained and had infiltrated the capital long ago.
From their movements, the attack, or the ambush to be exact, concentrated on capturing the command center, the rooftop where Lord Damon lived, the laboratory, and the 99th floor, the towers’ four main places.
Of course, the attack failed miserably since Lord Damon and his elite soldiers were ready to welcome them. One by one Lord Damon’s elite soldiers killed Letos’ troops, ambushing them. Including his assistant, a high Incubus.
That assistant was a high-level one. His power was almost equal to that of a demon lord. But it was nothing compared to Lord Damon. So it could be said, this plan succeeded in hitting two birds with one stone.
“I will activate the barrier now. Inform everyone to prepare for the effect,” Lord Damon ordered as soon as he arrived at the throne hall. His feet kept moving towards his throne.
“Got it.” The headless demon pressed a communication device similar to a watch in his hand.
“This is Elite One speaking. His Majesty will activate the barrier. Prepare yourself!”
Nonchalantly, Lord Damon sat on his throne and waited a while.
“They’re ready, Your Majesty,” said the headless demon after he got an answer from the others.
“Good.” Lord Damon stretched out his hand with his palm facing up.
‘Absolute Loyalty.’
As his palm emitted a dark aura, the servant marks on their bodies also emitted a dark aura. All of them were silent. Their red eyes stared blankly, indicating that they had lost their minds.
‘Bring all unloyal demons before me,’ he ordered. Then what he did was wait.
Absolute Loyalty was the demon king’s skill. The skill was connected to these towers and was used to ensure there were no intruders or traitors in the place.
That skill would last for a few minutes and detect all demons that had not pledged their loyalty to him. Luckily, neither of them brought a single demon before him. Which meant, the towers were clear and none of the enemies pretended to be his servants. This was one of the reasons why he sent Damian’s servants to secure the capital.
Once he canceled it, they got their consciousness back.
He stood up from his throne.
“Come with me. Lilieth and Damian will come back soon. We have to welcome them,” he ordered.
“The public started asking about the previous attack. What should we say about it?” asked one of the headless demons, following him from behind.
“Just tell them it was an accident. An explosion from a coffee machine or something” replied Lord Damon nonchalantly. Letos’ elite soldiers didn’t make too much ruckus so that should be enough to cover it.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” replied the headless demon.
As Lord Damon’s feet moved, a mutter came out of his mouth.
“Too bad I can’t see Letos’ face right now.” Yet his evil smirk widened showing he could already imagine it.
