The Incubus System Chapter 548. Licheri's Core II
Once again I was stunned. My eyes widened as a tsunami of information rushed into my head. Rather than a movie, I kind of swallowed a lot of information from visualizing a pile of books. Knowledge, writing, leadership style, political affairs, and history about what happened from the first demon lord of Licheri to the last one.
The difference was that my Mind Corruption skill showed everything in the first person point of view, while when Erebus' memory rushed into my mind, it stirred my feelings. But I saw all of this without involving any emotion or judgment of the previous demon lords. It was just information. Just like how a pile of data was being transferred from one electronic storage to another.
During that process, I couldn't feel anything including the sound and everything around me. Not even wind. I felt like the statue itself. All my attention was only on the information as if I was a top student who was receiving lessons from several professors. And like a machine, my brain was forced to accept all that.
Quickly, I realized how vulnerable I was and I couldn't deny I felt a little panicked. I didn't expect this and Nefaris did not mention this effect before. My only hope was that no one would attack me and in the worst case, I hoped that my servants could stop the attackers.
At least it took more than ten minutes before my consciousness returned to reality and my senses could feel everything again.
[Congratulations! You have successfully claimed Licheri's core!]
[Licheri Demon's Reign new host: Damian Lucio Malignus]
[Demon type: Royal Incubus]
[Age: 19]
But instead of moving, I only moved my pupils from side to side. A lot of things filled my head. A list of what I had to do and who I could entrust to do the tasks to replace Letos' assistants filled my head. Including the list of Letos followers. Some had the knowledge and skills so I would do as far as using my Servant's Mark skill on them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I should start working," I muttered as I took my hand away from the statue. But before I left, I decided to take it. So I planned to do what I did to the real Letos.
'Wrath Kill!' Once my Demonic power covered my hands, I prepared to smash it and took a pearl that was at the tip of the cock. Yeah, I realized the shape after I swallowed all the information from the core. Rather than white, the pearl was gray and covered in dust. That was why it looked the same as the rest of the statue. Also, from the information, I concluded the core was strong enough to withstand my attacks.
But before I moved, a child's voice came out of nowhere.
"19 years old? Aren't you too young to be a demon lord?" he asked in a cute innocent voice. His voice reminded me of Kir. I knew it was a complaint, but I didn't catch any offensive means from there.
"Huh?" I let out a stupid voice and looked around me. But all I saw was my servants and Nefaris who were trying to chase away the reporters. Some even argued in mid-air.
For sure, I didn't find any kids or small demons like Kir near me. Well, kids were something I had never seen in this world to begin with. That was because most demons had a long life. Moreover, once they were born, their bodies grew rapidly. They would reach the physique of an adult demon within a day. So what's left was how they learned about this world and raised their level.
On the other hand, some small-sized demons like Foxy and Kir usually lived in villages or wild areas.
'Am I hallucinating?' I guessed I was too tired and had too much information at once so I started hearing something that wasn't there.
The little boy's voice came again.
"No, you don't. I'm the one who asked you." It was clear he answered me even though I said everything on my mind.
Since his voice was clearer than before, I turned to the origin of the voice. To where the core was.
My eyes could catch something coming out of the tip of the cock, just like cheese cream coming out of the spray can and manifesting into a… rabbit? Mini cat? Talking milk jelly with ears? Okay, I was not sure about his shape since he looked like a billiard ball with thin fur, eyes, a mouth, and a pair of tiny ears.
I squeezed my eyes in disbelief and frowned. My jaw dropped.
"What the heck…" I muttered in disbelief since the core turned into that creature before my eyes. Moreover, his status showed who he was.
[Name: Licheri]
[Level ??]
[HP: ??????]
[DP: ??????]
He pouted in displeasure.
"Dun what the heck me," he complained with a cute voice.
"You are the core?" I made sure once again. I thought if the core manifested into something, it would look more… lewd. So I was kinda surprised.
"Yeah. Haven't you checked my status? I know you have a strange system in your body," he said straight to the point.
'He knows as far as that?' I thought in surprise.
A cute frown on his forehead.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Of course, I just went through your head, remember? If not, how could I have known you are only 19 years old?" he answered.
"Hey, stop reading my mind," I protested. Even with my telepathy, I could control what I wanted to send and what I didn't. But him--- He heard all my thoughts without my permission.
An innocent grin appeared on his lips.
"I can pretend I can't."
I smiled wryly.
"This creature..." I hissed in annoyance.
But before I let out my complaint Nefaris' voice made me turn to her
"Damian, are you done yet?" she shouted.
"I am," I yelled.
Without a war, Licheri jumped on my hand and I quickly caught it.
"Let's talk at the city hall. I'm sure you have a lot of questions for me. So do I." He sat casually on my palm comfortably.
"Fine." I turned to Nefaris and the others. "Meet me at the city hall!" The reporters' target was me, so the faster I left, the faster they would disband themselves.
Then without further ado, I used my Portal
