The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 304. Never Ending Loop

After we moved to another room, I told them about the angel, the barrier, the demon lords' plans and my previous dream. It was a weird sight since the room design, which was dominated by pink, was similar to a love hotel, yet all of us sat on the sofa and had a serious conversation.

As they listened to me, some of them furrowed their brows, while others were deep in thoughts. Occasionally some of them asked me for more information and I answered them according to what I knew.

"Wait, that isn't fair. You can break your angelic seal via sex. But what about me?" Celia complained with a frown. She looked excited when I said I had found a way to break our seal. That way she could have a similar power to mine and could protect herself, in case the demons were after her. But since that only applied to incubus so she had to take the normal way, killing an angel to take over her power.

"Maybe there is another way. After all, we have to break your seal gradually. You have to learn to control it little by little or it will bring you troubles," I said. I realized this was the main reason why Lilieth didn't give me full access to my system in the first place. I couldn't imagine if I had this much power when I got the system. I would end up killing Bern and the Demon hunter would catch me right away.

Celia answered me with a sigh and pouted. I knew, even though Celia was quite mature for a girl of her age, she still had a childish side, especially for things like this. Well, her hope died in an instant so I could understand her disappointment.

I turned my gaze to Ivy and the others.

"Anyway, I gathered you guys because I wanted to ask about the Holy Barrier. Do you know how to break it?" If they knew how to break it undetected it would be great. Even though I was still in a dilemma since it had something to do with the Kingdom of Serpent Rock's economy, from that dream, at least, I knew that angel didn't want to hurt me. Also, since the light dimension didn't look for her for a thousand years for whatever reason, I didn't think what I would do could cause war, although... I wasn't sure of it.

"We've never dealt with the angels before, so we don't know. What we know is, the barrier can nullify the demon's influences," answered Ivy regretfully.

"Besides, after the angels separated the late King Xenos from Erebus and his wife, they handed over all the human world's affairs through the third party, humans," Luna added.

Yuffy, who had been silent before finally spoke.

"Maybe the king knows something about this."

Her words made Maria turn to her.

"But the king forbade His Highness to see him for a while. While he can't get out of the dark dimension either." She was right. The Spider Queen, the Gargoyle King, the Incubus King and the Glob King had set their eyes on the Dark dimension's throne. They even tried to expand their territory in the human world by exploiting the cracks. I didn't know what they were planning, but Lord Damon had to be careful.

"We can send a message to ask him about this. Also send a warning about the demon lords' plans," I gave an idea. Since Ivy said that the barrier could disperse the demon's influence, I was not sure I couldn't put my hopes on Mia either.

This time all my generals shook their heads side to side.

"Why?" I asked in confusion.

"Sending a message for an important matter like this is too risky. The king's enemies' spies are everywhere. If that message falls into the wrong hands then you and everyone around you will be in danger," Yuffy explained. Now I found another reason why Lilieth sent Kitty just to give me the simple warning that night.

"So I'm simply the same as an exiled Prince?" I concluded. A trace of annoyance was evident in my tone of voice, though I couldn't blame Lord Damon and Lilieth for this.

"They did it to protect you," Maria tried to calm me down.

A tired breath escaped my mouth.

"I know but..." My words trailed off before I grunted in annoyance.

"Why am I so weak?!" I said in frustration before I threw my back on the back of the sofa. Yeah, even though my level rose rapidly in a short time, I knew it wasn't enough to defeat those demon lords. It was the main reason for my limited movement and also the result. So it was simply a never-ending loop for me.

Although I understood Lord Damon and Lilieth protected me since they didn't want to lose their child again, it was bugging my pride, a lot. And if anyone found out that 'The Great Demon' was just a weak demon prince, I would become the whole world's laughing stock.

"Don't blame yourself, brother. You are much stronger than you used to be. You've done your best, "Celia tried to cheer me up. While Foxy didn't say anything. From her gloomy expression, I could tell she felt the same way as me.

But I didn't answer her. Instead, I drew a couple of deep breaths to calm myself. She was right, I was stronger. But only compared to humans, not the demon lords and I didn't know how much time I had left. I couldn't calm down until I could take over his responsibility.

"Maybe one of us can go to the dark dimension to talk about this. Once everything gets better," Ivy suggested.

"I think that's the only option we have right now," I said. Or it was the only thing we could do. Though I didn't know when things would get better.

At first, I thought as long as I could break through that barrier, find a peaceful way to settle The Kingdom of Serpent Rock's economy and meet that Angel to open my angelic seal, I could get new powers. That way I could help Lord Damon faster. Unfortunately, it was another dead end.

In the middle of our own thoughts, Celia suddenly spoke.

"Can I ask about the angel and demon? I mean the demons who work under Lord Damon."

"What do you want to ask?" answered Luna.

"If the angels and demons want to protect humans, why did you guys fight each other in the first place?"

"You get it wrong, Celia." My voice made her turn to me.

"The demons don't do it to protect humans but to maintain the balance between the three worlds. Simply, they just don't want another big war," I continued. I also thought like her before, but after I heard my generals' explanations I could conclude, now or even a thousand years ago, Lord Damon didn't protect humans, he only protected his family legacy, his world and his own kind, nothing more.

"His Highness is right, Celia. We owe nothing to humans, so we simply just want peace. At least some of us," Yuffy added in a calm tone.

"In other words... Good demons never existed," I concluded since I knew what she was thinking. I had this thought before, but not anymore now. We simply had our own agenda.

"I see." Celia's face was a bit gloomy now, disappointed at my answer.

"Then what about you, brother?" she asked me.

"I'm just trying to protect what I want to protect. As simple as that," I replied. And protecting someone or something didn't depend on good or bad. It was simply what I wanted to do.

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

The sound of the electronic alarm on the side of the door interrupted our conversation and it made me turn to the clock.

12.35 PM

I got up from my seat in a hurry as I realized I was late.

"We'll continue this later, I'm already late for lunch," I said.
