The Incubus System Chapter 415. The Demons' Dinner III
"Can anyone tell me about Nefaris Queen?" I tried to break the awkward silence. My eyes moved from side to side, looking at all of them.
"She's the vampire queen and one of the death demons like Lord Damon, nya," Kitty explained.
"Is she bad news?" I guessed. Their silence said it.
"She's one of the few demon lords who doesn't submit to Lord Damon. But she isn't my opposition either. Surprisingly, even though she has a big territory, she never really takes care of it. She sees her territory as a free and wild place. A sanctuary of the demons who desire freedom. As long as they aren't against her, of course. But her territory has limited resources including animals," Andrew explained.
A frown appeared on my forehead.
"So she is a queen that doesn't care about her territory?"
"She's different, Damian. Her land is connected to her," said Lilieth.
"What?" I said in disbelief and confusion. That didn't make sense to me.
"She can sense everything, every creature in her territory but she chooses not to care about that. Once you step into her land, she will detect you in an instant. She can kill everyone who enters her territory. That's why she doesn't want to submit to the king," Lilieth explained.
I nodded repeatedly.

"One last thing. I want to ask about my system." I decided to go study after this question.
"Am I the only one with this system? Or do all demons have it?" I asked.
"Only you have it," said Lilieth.
"Didn't you also compare your strength with the level system and such? Is this system some kind of seal for me?" I asked.
This time it was Ivy who explained to me.
"Since power is everything here, the level system has existed in the dark dimension since the modern era. We use the Power Scale to compare and determine the class of each demon. It's a magic device that we use to measure a demon's strength. That's why we're used to using levels to explain the strength difference between the demons." From her explanation, I just realized that the dark dimension's magic devices were as advanced as the humans.
"As for your system..." Ivy's words trailed off as her eyes glanced at Lilieth and Lord Damon.
Suddenly, Lord Damon reached out his hand to me with his palm facing up. While I just stared at him in confusion.
"Take it, I'll tell you about your system's origin. It's a taboo to say it openly," he said.
I took his hand upon his request. As our palms touched each other, a series of memories rushed into my head. Those memories made my body freeze and overwhelmed my emotions. But it explained everything about what was going on inside me and my Demonic instincts.
This all started after Lord Damon managed to maintain the unborn Damian's remaining dark power. Since Lord Damon knew Damian would lose his personality even if he could regenerate his body, Lord Damon asked Ivy and Irien to create a system that could control his Demonic Power and his incubus instincts. So similar to the armor, they combined a program into that power and created my system. Hopefully, it could control me.
But everything changed after Lilieth found me. Instead of regenerating, the power reacted to me and chose me as its host. So Lilieth gave me that power to revive me. That power broke my Demonic seal and revived me as a demon. Finally, it found my alter ego was more suitable for it and took my dark side as 'Damian'.
The power changed my appearance to Damian permanently since this was a mixture of my original appearance if Erebus didn't seal my power and Damian's real appearance if he was born. But it still retained Ethan's appearance due to my memory. That was why I had a dual appearance.
I gasped as soon as Lord Damon released my hand. My heart was beating fast. While my eyes were still on him.
"I see..." That was all I could say. I tried to swallow the emotions that filled me since those memories also told me Lord Damon's emotions. His sadness, anger, pain and dilemma when he lost me the first time and when he found out I would only be a lifeless puppet.
Lord Damon folded his arms in front of his chest and put up his usual arrogant face.
"Do you have any other questions? I have a few more things to take care of," he said.
Even by his expression, I could tell he was embarrassed after he let me know what happened in the past.
"I think that's all."
"Good." Without further ado, he stood up from his chair.
"I will be at my office." Then his dark aura engulfed him.
After he disappeared, I turned to Lilieth.
"He's a complicated guy."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe replied to me with a smile.
"Indeed. He is a great ruler, a wild lover and a caring father. That's why I love him."
A gentle smile began to appear on my lips.
"True..." I muttered. I never thought the strongest demon lord had that many sides. He was not just a ruthless demon lord like the history books described.
"Since dinner is over..." I stood up from my chair,
"I'll excuse myself." Then I turned to my servants.
"All of you come with me."
"Another batch of sex? Are you still hungry?" asked Lilieth in surprise.
"No, I want to read their minds. I'm sure it's quicker than learning it from the books." But then I remembered what Lord Damon and Lilieth had prepared.
"But don't get me wrong, I'll also read everything that you have prepared for me," I added quickly.
"Remember you shouldn't read other people's minds too much. It will backfire to yourself," she warned.
"I'll keep that in mind. I only use it to find important information and basic things," I reassured her. After all, reading other people's minds was not a pleasant thing for me. It had a bad impact on my psychology.
Then my servants and I went to my room.
