Chapter 185: Demon's Rule
The Incubus System Chapter 185. Demon's Rule
'Raise Demon's Rule skill by 1 point.'
[Your Demon's Rule skill is at maximum level.]
[Demon's Rule (Requires 10 DP) - The skill used by high incubus/succubus to impose restrictions on their partners. Applicable only to partners with the love meter over 5/10. ]
I smiled at her and placed my hands on both sides of her face gently. Our eyes met and locked into each other as if there were only the two of us there.
'Demon's Rule'
My eyes glinted in red. I could see traces of fear when she saw the change in my eyes, but she remained in her position. Her eyes remained on mine as if she was under my manipulation skill even though I didn't use anything on her. The dark aura from my body spread out, forming a strange formation beneath our feet.
[Demon's Rule initiated. ]
The dark aura beneath our feet spread up and swirled around her body and mine. Her eyes locked onto mine. Then I could see an announcement appear before her.
[Do you want to give your loyalty to Damian Lucio?]
[Yes / No]
She was shocked. Just like when I first got this system. She raised her hand and waved it in front of her in confusion.
"What is this?"
"It's my system. Choose with your thoughts," I said. Unexpectedly, unlike when I used my Demon's Contract skill on Foxy, my Demon's Rule skill allowed my partner to choose whether she wanted it or not.
She lowered her hand and concentrated on the announcement in front of her. A second later, the screen disappeared and was replaced by an announcement in front of me.
[Demon's Rule is in progress ...]
'She accepted me ...' Well, even though she was the one who asked me from the start, I couldn't help myself but feel happy. My heart was beating fast as happiness mixed with excitement mixed in me. Maybe this was a man's feelings if his proposal was accepted by his girlfriend. The dark aura beneath our feet grew thicker as an announcement appeared in front of me.
[Installing Demon's Rule 67.8%]
[Installing Demon's Rule 98.9%]
[Kiss your partner to seal the contract]
I brought my lips to her and kissed her. As my tongue entered her mouth and her tongue moved, clashing with mine, I could feel my Demonic Power pouring into her. Not only that, but I could also feel her Magic Power within her body. How did my Demonic Power mix within it without breaking the flow itself or contradicting each other. It was quite strange since the elements were supposed to contradict each other. Besides that I could feel it too ... I could feel her feelings for me. How she wanted to ease my burden. I could feel how tense she was right now her heart was beating fast.
Meanwhile, I realized Tania was watching me. Her eyes were observing me as if making sure everything was going well.
[Demon's Rule has been successfully done.]
[Congratulations! Now, Emma Lunaspark is completely yours! ]
[Emma Lunaspark's strength has increased by 30%]
I released my kiss and pulled myself away from her.
"Do you feel something strange? Or do you feel some changes in your body?" I asked in worries.
Meanwhile, she was turning her hands as her eyes were fixed on it. Then she checked the rest of her body before returning her gaze to me.
"I think nothing has changed. But ..."
"But?" I asked her to continue her words.
"But somehow ... I can feel your warmth. As if you are hugging me now," she said with a gentle smile.
My hand rubbed the side of her face once again. A gentle smile on my lips.
"I promise ... I'll protect you," I said.
She let out a short chuckle.
"What are you talking about? I chose this not because I wanted your protection, but because I wanted to fight together with you."
"Thank you ..." I said. Then I lowered my hand and turned to Tania to ask about the Demoness' Maid and what happened to the dark dimension. But I found her still looking at Emma with a serious gaze.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked.
My words dissolved her thoughts.
"Nothing," replied Tania quickly.
"Since she has given her loyalty to you, I will answer your questions. But before that ...'' She directed her glowed hand at the fainted Demon Hunter. Then I could see him turning stiff. I guessed she used her stun spell on that demon hunter. After that, she raised her hands slowly and a transparent dome that was similar to a small Devil Space covered us.
[You have just entered another demon's Devil Space.]
As soon as I saw the announcement, I quickly grabbed Emma's hand to prevent her from falling due to the Demonic curse effect. But no, she looked fine. I didn't see the pain on her face.
"Yes?" asked Emma in confusion.
"Nothing," I said. I guessed this was because of my Demon's Rule skill. But to make sure, I decided to confirm it with my Observation since as far as I knew, only demons were not affected by this Devil Space skill.
[Observation skill succeeded.]
[Name: Emma Lunaspark] [Age: 18]
[Level 8] [Race: Elf]
[HP: 193/193] [MP: 51/73]
[Skills: Holy Chain lv 3, Mana Strike lv 4]
[Emotion: Happy]
[Love meter: 6/10]
[Condition: Normal]
[Weakness: Chest, Neck, Head, Ears]
[Talent: Elf's Blessing, Incubus' protection]
[Relationship: Incubus' loyal partner]
[Profession: Demon Hunter, College Student.]
Seeing that her race had not changed, I felt relieved and based on her talent's description, I now understood why she was fine. Tania's voice returned my attention to her.
"Right, before I tell you about that Demoness' Maid, I'll explain about the dark dimension's condition first. But whatever I say you should keep this a secret from anyone. Do you understand? "
"I understand," I replied.
"As you know this crack problem started one year ago, when the energy at the borders of the human world and the demon world unstabled. Since then large cracks began to form and demons could enter the human world in large numbers. And unlike usual cracks, these cracks can't close by itself. "
Driven by curiosity, Emma carefully interrupted Tania.
"Um...May I ask you? Ethan just turned into a demon a week ago. If those cracks had appeared since a year ago. It's that mean ..."
"We and Lord Damon's loyal subordinates are the ones who have closed it with our strength," replied Tania.
Emma's confusion was clear on her face.
"Do you mean Lord Damon Arcano Malignus, the strongest Demon Lord?"
"Yes. Let me explain everything," said Tania.
Emma pressed her lips and nodded. I knew there were a lot of questions in her head as well as mine. And I could guess, given that the demon hunters were unprepared to deal with this problem, the association only knew little information about the crack issue.
Tania continued her conversation.
"Lord Damon tries his best to cover up this problem from the other demons. Because as a Demon Lord, he has to maintain the balance between the human world and the demon world. He also does this to prevent the demons from escaping and messing in the human world. As for us, the Demon Generals, apart from killing the escaping demons, we also have to cover the crack without anyone knowing it. " Then she turned to Emma and gave her a serious gaze.
"That's why the demon hunters never saw the crack, but only saw the demons."
The trace of surprise was clearly visible on Emma's face since it meant that all this time, secretly, the demon hunters were not fighting alone. No, actually, it was the Demon Generals who had protected the demon hunters and humans. Because if it weren't for them, I didn't know how many demon hunters and humans would have died. Maybe the demons even managed to control several cities.
