Chapter 141: Wounds Without Bruises

The Incubus System Chapter 141. Wounds Without Bruises

Larry answered me with an annoyed face. Then he brought his tray, dumped the leftover and put it on the counter before turning to me.

"I want to buy coffee. Do you want something?"

"No, thank you."

"Okay." Then he went to the counter.

I took another sip of my coffee as I shifted my gaze to the window. As my eyes fell on the students who were chatting in the yard, an announcement appeared before me.

[You are connected with Ian.]

Followed by Ian's voice.

'Mr Damian, Mr Miguel has already told me when he will come.'

I put my cup on the table. My eyes kept looking out the window.

'What did he say?'

'He said he will come to meet you tomorrow night.'

I smirked.

'Good. What else did he say? Will he bring Myra? ' Previously, I had asked Ian and the others to find out about this.

'No, sir. Mr Miguel said Miss Myra is busy preparing for their grand plan. '

'Do you mean the demon slavery plan?'

'Yes, sir. Looks like this has something to do with that plan. Apart from that, from his conversation, I heard about a woman named Eve. '

My forehead creased.

'Eve? Do you know who she is? '

'I do not know.'

'How's Camila?' Since I couldn't contact or meet her, I used Ian and the others to protect her.

'Mrs Camila is a little pale but she is fine, sir. She just came out of her room and joined Mr Miguel for breakfast. '

I let out a sigh of relief.

'How's Ronan doing?' Yesterday he took a lot of beatings because he had to pretend to be me, at least I wanted to make sure he was okay.

'Ronan is fine, sir. We've already taken him to the clinic and the doctor said he would get better in a few days. '

'Good.' Just when I was about to end my conversation, Ian suddenly spoke again.

'Mr Damian, Mr Miguel and Mrs Camila are fighting again.'

'How bad?'

'He almost hit her.'

'Stop him!' I ordered.

Then Ian fell silent.

'Ian?' Another announcement appeared.

[Your slave has fainted.]

[You have disconnected with Ian.]

'What ?!' Feeling something was wrong, I closed my eyes.

'Take over slave's body, Ian.' Ian's level above ordinary humans, he wouldn't pass out without a cause.

[!!! Warning !!!]

[Taking over your slave's body will reduce your HP drastically! Do you agree?]

[Yes] / [No]

'Yes!' I knew this consequence from the start as well as the cause. My race and Foxy's were the same, so I could get into her easily after taking a full synchronization with her. But Ian's and mine were different. That's why in order to enter his body, I had to compact myself so that I could 'fit' him, that was by reducing my HP to the same amount as him. Also, since he was a human, I couldn't access my skills at all since my skills used DP instead of MP.

[Warning! Your HP will decrease by 571 points.]

"Nghhh ..." I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists as I endured the excruciating pain that pierced my body.

[Your HP is under 50%.]

[Full Synchronize in 3 ... 2 ... 1]

The darkness in my sight began to change with the view of a man in his 30s with dark brown hair like Olivia who was standing with an angry face, his hand gripping Camila's hair. His other hand held a scissor. While Camila under his feet. Her hands were trying to get her long hair off Miguel and her eyes were filled with anger. Whereas the servants who were standing in the dining room could only remain silent and lowered their heads in fear. Apart from that, I also realized that I was lying on the floor with a broken vase and several flowers around me. My hand touched my temple since I could feel pain and something was flowing from it. Red blood stained my fingers.

"What the hell ..." I muttered. Now I understood why Ian passed out. Because Miguel hit his head with a vase.

"Let me go!" Camila's scream brought my attention back to her.

"Sure! After I'm done with your hair!" snapped Miguel.

I quickly got up and ran to them. My hand managed to stop Miguel's hand that almost cut Camila's hair

"Move! Do I have to break your head ?!" Miguel roared.

"Boss, your trial will be in a few days. If the court finds out about this, she will win," I reasoned.

"I said move!" Miguel struggled to get his hand off of me. I knew the reason why Miguel wanted to cut Camila's hair because he wanted to hurt her psychologically rather than physically. Besides that, cutting hair didn't leave bruises or marks on the victim's body, so Camila couldn't report it to the police.

"I know you just want to cut her hair, but if your scissor hurt her, she could use it as evidence to win the trial," I tried to convince him as my hand continued to hold Miguel's hand.

Miguel fell silent. Even though his face still looked angry, his hand was not struggling anymore.

"Please think again. Don't let your anger destroy your grand plan," I reminded him.

He snorted in annoyance as his hand released Camila's hair roughly and pulled his other hand away from me. His eyes were still staring at Camila in anger.

"You're right. There's no point in fighting a tainted woman who has slept with a disgusting gigolo like her."

"Then what about you? Didn't you also sleep with Myra?" said Camila. Even though her face didn't show any fear, her voice trembled.

"Myra is different. She's a respectable genius woman, not a pathetic woman like you. We will get what we want." Miguel turned in annoyance as he threw the scissor in his hand at a nearby dining table, sending it into a soup bowl.

"I lost my appetite! Ian take care of the rest!" Then he left.

"Yes, boss," I replied.

Several servants began to clean up the mess. While I extended my hand to Camila to help her get up and she responded by staring at my hand in confusion.

"I just want to help you get up, ma'am," I said.

Camila smiled bitterly.

"Did something happen to your head after Miguel hit you with the vase?" she asked.

"Yeah, a little," I replied. I knew I behaved differently from the usual Ian, that's why she was suspicious of me.

She took my hand and stood up.

"Thank you for helping me. Your wound is quite severe. Check it to the doctor, I will pay the costs," said Camila. I could see her eyes were shaking, holding back her sorrow.

I rubbed the remaining blood on my temple.

"Thank you for your kindness, ma'am."

She nodded once again before turning around and leaving.

I sighed.

'Miguel is worse than I thought.' Even though he was an ordinary person, he already calculated everything. He even could think of a way to harm Camila without causing a trace on her body. A second later, an announcement appeared before me.

[You are connected to Ian.]

'Ian, are you awake?' I asked.

'Yes, Mr Damian.'

'Check your wound to the doctor. Report the results to me. I will return to my body now. '

Then I opened my eyes.

[You have disconnected with Ian.]

[Warning !!!]

[Your HP is under 50%.]

An excruciating pain pierced my entire body as the sight of Diamond College's Cafeteria grew clearer in my eyes. I was gasping for breath and my sweat started to wet my face. My HP was only 79 points now. Of course, I could feel this pain even though there wasn't any wound in my body.

'I have to heal myself immediately ...'

I got up from my seat to go to the toilet, forcing my weak legs to move since I couldn't use my Dark Healing skill here.

'Shit ... I didn't know the consequences would be this fatal.'

Then I could see Olivia and Emma coming from opposite directions. When she saw me, Emma was just about to call me.

"Et-" But I shook my head and put my index finger on my lips. Then pointed towards the counter to take Olivia there. If Olivia and Larry saw me like this they would have taken me to the infirmary. And I couldn't possibly let the doctor examine me.

She nodded her head and did what I asked her.
