The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 499. The Hounds' Territory II

'Now!' I ordered. Swiftly, Foxy stretched her hand forward.

At the same time, without moving a muscle, I used my skill.

'Telekinesis.'

Before they managed to get us, my invisible power held all the Hounds in mid-air and lifted them higher. Different from the battle in Myra's lab, my Telekinesis skill was much much stronger now. I could hold more enemies without sweat and control my power more easily. Moreover, those Hounds were way below my current level.

"Graahhh!" they roared in panic and struggled to break free, but it was in vain.

'Clench your hand,' I ordered.

And Foxy did my command. Better, she even showed her devilish smirk once she caught my sudden plan.

"GRAAHHHH!" Their screams echoed through the forest once my invisible force shattered their heads one by one. The blood splashed on the trees, bushes, and the ground before their bodies hung weakly and turned to ashes. A series of damage announcements appeared in front of me with 'Critical Damage' on top of it.

The Hounds' screams of pain intimidated the low-level demons which were watching our one side slaughter. All of them quickly ran in fear without a second thought. I was sure this battle was enough to tell the others how strong Foxy was and I hoped it would provoke their leader to take on us.

Also, I hoped this would make The Queen think of me as an ordinary demon. Even though I knew it was just empty hope, it wouldn't hurt to try right?

Gracefully, Foxy lowered her hand, as if she was a high-level noble demon who was used to it. She didn't even flinch when the Hounds died.

"Congratulations, My Lady. You killed them all," I said, lowering my head politely.

She replied to me with a confident smirk.

"What for? They are all just insects. You don't need to mention it," she said in a smug tone. I was quite surprised by her nice act since she looked like a noblewoman in disguise. Her ordinary clothes weren't able to cover her status and power.

"My apologies…" I said, pretending to regret what I said.

A long exhale came out of her mouth.

"It's fine. Let's move or we won't be able to reach our destination before nightfall." Upon what she said we continued our journey.

As my feet moved, she telephated me.

'How's my act, Master?' she asked cheerfully, although her face remained cold.

'It's perfect. You have done a good job, Foxy,' I complimented her.

'Yes, I thought you were a real noblewoman for a second. It was really cool!' said Luna excitedly.

'You should see your expression when you saw all of them dead!' added Yuffy in the same excitement.

'Hehehe~' I could catch a faint smile on Foxy's lips even though she tried to cover it up.

'Anyway, sorry for taking your prey. You should be the one who killed them, but I want to provoke their leader so they will come to us sooner,' I said. I didn't know when the queen would be attracted to me or worse, she would ask me to her place or even catch me.

To be sure, the sooner we got rid of the Hound's leader, the better. Besides, there were too many of them and our first attack was meant to show off, so I was not sure Foxy could handle them alone.

'It's fine, Master. I have my chance in the next batch,' she said.

'Okay. Just remember. Do it elegantly. You are a noble demon,' I reminded her.

'Leave it to me, Master,' Foxy said confidently.

As they disconnected from me, another howl sounded.

'Here's come the leader,' I thought. I didn't expect them to move faster than I thought.

We stopped our stride and prepared for the next attack. I thought we were going to face their leaders soon, but I was wrong. More Grim Hounds were coming to us. This time, five times more than the first attack.

Hundreds of demonic red eyes peeking behind the trees and the rustling sound coming from the bushes around us signaled that they had surrounded us from all directions. Their roars sounded, trying to intimidate us and shrinking our guts. But it was no use at all other than making us sweep our eyes around.

Once again I telephated with my servants.

'How is it? Did you find him?' I asked. Although my Vision skill didn't catch the leader among them, I decided to make sure once again.

'Negative,' answered Ivy.

'Nope, they are all Grim Hounds,' answered Yuffy.

'Should I do the same as before?' Foxy confirmed. I didn't catch the fear in her eyes, but she knew she wouldn't be able to handle this alone.

Although my original plan was to let Foxy take the credit, our circumstances didn't allow me to execute this plan, so I decided to show them something else.

'No. Stay among us and kill only those who approach you. Order us to handle this. Remember, give your order in your most elegant way,' I reminded her.

'Got it,' replied Foxy.

After that, an arrogant laugh escaped Foxy's mouth. She folded her arms in front of her chest gracefully and raised her chin a bit.

"Foolish. Do you think this is enough to beat me?" Another confident smirk on her lips. " Get them out of my sight," Foxy ordered. The way she talks and acts reminded me of Lord Damon.

"Yes, My Lady," we answered.

I used my Demonic Claw, my most basic skill, and stormed at them. While others also used their weakest skills. We had to show that we were capable bodyguards, yet also had to show that we were not as strong as Foxy. This was to cover our identity since, according to Lord Damon, not many demons had a level as high as us. Still… Even if we used our weakest skill, we only needed one critical hit to kill the Hounds.

'I feel like killing a swarm of ants,' I thought as I pierced a Hound's chest with my claw. I wondered when this boring battle would end. Yet what they saw in plain sight, was I tried to give my best to fight them. The same was what others did.

While Foxy used her blue orbs to kill one or two Hounds who attacked her casually as if they were nothing.
