The Incubus System Chapter 584. Sparring Partner

"How much time are you going to give her?" Lilieth questioned me while holding me. "Didn't you say you'd be back in the human realm soon?" She proceeded to remind me once again.

It left me speechless. She had a valid point. I had no choice but to call a timeout for Syntyche because otherwise, things would be in vain. And I needed to get it done quickly before the shock therapy disappeared from her mind.

I told her that I would visit her before I went back to the human realm, and I meant it.

"I will visit her one day before I return to the human world," I stated. "Secretly…" I added. Although I would have preferred to make the public announcement of our alliance, I was unable to do so since I used her to lure Zatan and Beel out.

"Secretly? Why?" asked Lilieth, frowning.

I did my best to break out of her hug in a gentle manner.

"She has agreed that she will assist me in luring Zatan and Beel out. I hope her return will bring them back to their cities." Actually, I seriously doubt it would be that simple. Considering that I had deceived them in the past and that Syntyche harbored ill will toward them, Zatan and Beel would put their extreme caution.

"Oh right. I forgot about them. Do you have any information about them?" she asked.

"I've searched many places and can't find them. Syntyche doesn't know where they are either," I explained. Previously, we limited Syntyche's movement. She couldn't send her Spyder since she was afraid of being caught. But now, since she was already at our side, she could mobilize her Spyder and use her skill to the fullest. She would be very useful to me.

"For time being, I've put some spies in their cities and asked Syntyche to announce that she's back. Hopefully, those two will return to their cities after seeing them. So--- since I don't have anything else to do. I decided to return to the human world," I added.

I just needed to take care of important things and based on what I saw when I got Licheri, the demon lords didn't have much work. Most of them usually gave their work to their assistants and only showed up when they were needed. So even though they looked like the human world's mayor, they had a very different job desk and acted more like a king or queen of their territory.

"At least, you have to reach your max level first," Lord Damon, who was sitting down on his chair, reminded me.

A humming sound came out of my mouth.

"Hmm... You are right," I answered. I was not sure I would get a worthy opponent in the human world so I would have a hard time raising my level later. So reaching my level to the max before the holiday was over was a good idea.

"So… Should I go to the Abyss again?" I asked in doubt. "I did finish off the Burial Grounds' demons, but there's some left in Lunatic Ravine."

Lord Damon shook his head from side to side.

"I don't think you can do it."

I frowned again. "Why?"

"The evil atmosphere has spread. The Abyss' demons have been killing each other ever since you left. All of them went crazy and died within a week."

My eyes widened.

"What?!" I never thought what happened last time would be that fatal.

"Well, not all of them. Some still survive but they are weaker than the previous generation. I don't think it will help you raise your level," he stated. "Besides, you are stronger than a demon lord now. You need another demon lord as your opponent to raise your level."

I had to say he was right, but…

"I can't go to them and challenge them out of nowhere, can I?" I smiled dryly upon his statement. Then I remembered a demon. "Except Azrael," I quickly added.

"Then you can fight him as your training," Lord Damon suggested in a casual tone. "Just think of him as your friend. You can go to his palace and play with him for like two or three hours per day." He said it as if I was an elementary kid spending time playing at his friend's house for summer.

I held my cringe although it was a good idea.

"We just met. What if I offend him? It could lead to a war," I was concerned. I was a new demon lord and was just able to stabilize my territory. Some demons still hadn't accepted me. While he was a demon lord who got along with others. If something happened and he was offended by it, he could decide to wage the war and attack my city.

"Judging from his personality, I don't think so. Instead, I'm sure he'll be happy since he has a friend," Lord Damon assured me. "Sparring partner to be precise."

"If he is that peaceful why are you calling him the Lord of Wrath?" I asked curiously.

"Because his strength will be doubled if he is angry. He is the type of demon who can turn his inner anger into power. So being the lord of wrath doesn't mean he gets angry easily or will be angry 24/7," he explained.

"Or maybe you can fight Licheri," Lilieth said out of the blue.

I snapped my fingers and pointed at Lilieth. My face brightened.

"That is a good idea!" I said in excitement. I never fought Licheri before. But judging by his status, his position was above me, so he should be stronger than me. Well…

I glanced at Lord Damon.

'Maybe I can also raise my level if I fight him. ' But I couldn't say it since I knew his power hadn't returned yet. On the other hand, I was curious about how big our current power gap was.
