The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 311. (Un)peaceful Dinner V

I flew as fast as I could. My eyes searched for the new location of the third crack since the previous one had disappeared before I got there, passing through the streets filled with demons who were looking for their prey in confusion. Luckily, they hadn't noticed where the humans were. I also caught several demon hunters who were fighting desperately, but the demons outnumbered them.

Horror screams rang out as the demons almost shredded two demon hunters' bodies. Quickly, I shot my black lances on them.

[You have shot an Aggressive Butcher for 135 HP.] X50*.

*He shots 50 of them.

In an instant, the demon hunters' screams turned into the demons' screams of pain accompanied by a loud hissing sound. Their bodies fell one by one to the ground. The demon hunters were petrified in shock before turning to me who was flying away from them.

As I moved, my hands continued to move, shooting every demon I found with my Demonic Spike to immobilize them. There were too many of them, so even though my priorities were the crack and the noble demons, at least, I had to prevent the Aggressive Butchers from spreading to other areas or attacking the people inside the building. After all, it would help the demon hunters to kill them faster.

A few seconds later, I caught the third crack that just appeared on the side of a street lamp, but I didn't catch any Malevolent Butchers nearby. After I recast my Demonic Energy, I flicked my wings and flew quickly towards it. The Aggressive Butchers around it quickly noticed my presence. They were just about to attack me, but I waved my hand, throwing my black lances at them.

[You have shot an Aggressive Butcher for 140 HP.] X50*.

*He shots 50 of them.

Then, as my feet landed on the ground, I extended my hand on that new crack. My feet stepped in hurry to approach it.

'Dark Energy.'

Like before, the crack expanded rapidly for a while and gave off a dark purple aura. But before my dark power managed to close it completely, a demon managed to escape and lunged at me fiercely.

[The crack has closed.]

[You have used up 10 DP. ]

Although I managed to close the crack, it was too late for me to cast my Shadow Barrier. So I raised both of my arms, placing them in front of me in a cross position to protect myself.

"Khhh!" I gritted my teeth as I could feel the heavy feeling as soon as the attack landed on my arms. The impact even managed to push me 5 meters away and made a trail beneath my feet. Luckily, my Demonic Claw protected my arms.

Without giving me a chance to counter him, I could feel another movement from in front of me, indicating that he had launched his second attack. This time, I flicked my wings and flew upwards, dodging the attack just in time. The strong wind from my wings showed how fast my movement was. At the same time, twenty blades pierced the ground where I was standing before.

Quickly, I opened my arms and used my skill on the Malevolent Butcher beneath me.

'Demonic Spikes!' Fifty my black lances slid towards him. But at the same time, I could feel another attack coming from behind me.

'Shit!' This time, I dodged it by flying to the side. But one of the blades managed to rip my suit and stab the side of my stomach.

The pain pierced my body and my blood soaked my suit as an announcement appeared in front of me.

[You have taken 210 physical damage.]

[Warning! You are bleeding.]

[Your HP will decrease by 5 points per 2 seconds.]

Meanwhile, loud clashing sounds indicated that I failed to land my Demonic Spike on him.

I glanced at the first Malevolent Butcher who just unrolled himself after brushing off my spikes with his Deadly Spin before I clicked my tongue and used my skill.

'Dark Healing!'

[Dark Healing has been used.]

A dark aura covered my wound and disappeared along with the pain that tormented me.

[Your HP has restored 500 points.]

I shifted my gaze alternately to the two Malevolent Butchers who were grinning evilly beneath me. This was not good news. But rather than being afraid, I took this as a challenge. My excitement filled my body and an announcement appeared in front of me.

[Do you want to accept a daily quest?]

[Fighting with two higher-level demons at the same time.]

[Target: Malevolent Butcher.]

[Reward: Title and EXP.]

[Yes] / [No]

My smirk appeared on my lips as I accepted the quest.

"Great. Some worthy opponents at last." My hand pointed to a nearby Aggressive Butcher.

'Energy Siphon.'

[Energy Siphon initiated.]

[Target: Aggressive Butcher]

[Level 27]

Yes, since my Energy Siphon was level 3, I could use this skill up to enemy level 30.

After that announcement, the Aggressive Butcher screamed in pain. I decided to refill my Demonic Power since my next battle would be an unfair one. Besides I had used a lot of Demonic Power to knock out the Aggressive Butchers along the way.

The Aggressive Butcher's body shook violently as the dark force that came out of him entered into my body. I could feel his energy flowing and blending with the Demonic Power inside me.

Meanwhile, the Malevolent Butchers' eyes widened and their bodies stiffened in shock. The grins on their lips disappeared.

"You--- aren't an ordinary Incubus..." said one of them in a hoarse voice.

- Bruk!

The Aggressive Butcher fell weakly on the ground. His DP was only 10% left.

[Energy Siphon is complete!]

*Ting*

[Your Demonic Power is fully charged.]

I lowered my hand and smirked evilly. My eyes were on them.

"Oh, I didn't know you could talk," I replied in a casual tone.

"If you are this territory's ruler, we can split it in half. Or at least, let us and our kind pass," said the other Malevolent Butcher.

"Pffttt--- Hahahahaha!" My mocking chuckle turned into a burst of evil laughter.

"I'm not interested in sharing my territory with anyone," I said in an arrogant tone. Even though I knew the humans hiding around me could hear what I was saying, I'd rather say this than say I was protecting humans. If one of these demons managed to escape to the dark dimension, then they would report about me to the other demons. Soon or later it would be reaching the demon lords' ears. Or... If they found out the humans were hiding inside the buildings, they could have taken some as hostages to threaten me.

"You greedy Incubus..." he hissed in displeasure.

"Aren't all demons greedy?" I said as I recast my Demonic Energy. I didn't have a choice but to play a villain to protect the fact that I protect humans despite my identity.

"The winner takes all. The loser will die," I hissed. My eyes looked intently at them. After those words, I lunged at one of them.
