Chapter 258: Coax
The Incubus System Chapter 258. Coax
Lord Damon and Lilieth's PoV
Meanwhile, the red moon in the dark dimension's sky was getting dimmer as the clouds that covered it were getting thicker. But it didn't affect Eternal Night City, the Demon Kingdom's capital since the neon and the light from the buildings were always on 24 hours 7 days a week. Those lights brought the City to life and illuminated the demons that live there.
A black luxury car moved swiftly through the street that never sleeps. As the car passed through the street lit by street lights, neon and billboards, the demons on the sidewalk turned and pointed at it. Even though the demons were in their true form, their clothes weren't much different from humans. They were the demons who decided to acknowledge Lord Damon as their sole leader.
The car stopped in front of one of the twin modern towers. Those modern towers were dominated by black colour and glass. Several glass bridges connected the two buildings and the rooftops were connected by a gigantic glass bridge.
A headless demon in a nice suit who opened the car's door, greeted him.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness," he said politely. A voice that came from nowhere.
But Lord Damon and Lilieth didn't answer. They looked irritated and were in a really bad mood right now. Splash of blood coloured their clothes, but it certainly wasn't their blood. The chauffeur and a bodyguard also got out of the same car. They were the two dark dimension's great Generals, Sarael and Andrew. Just like the two great demons walking in front of them, the two Generals also looked upset. Splash of blood also coloured their clothes even though those words only fit Andrew since Sarael only wore his trouser, his usual battle outfit.
As his feet moved, Andrew reached his hand out to his side, handing the car key to the valet at his side. And the valet immediately picked it up. Quickly, the valet approached the car but instead of pressing the key, he just showed it to the car. Then in a matter of seconds, the car turned into its original form. A huge three-headed black Hound. Its height was at least 5 meters with sharp teeth and claws, as well as a tail similar to that of a snake, making it not only a good 'vehicle' but also a fighting tool. A spiked collar around its neck. Its name was Cerberus. Even though this demon was an epic class Hound demon type, it was an unintelligent one. It could be said that this type of demon was the same as an animal, just like a dog that served humans.
"Please follow me, good sir. I have prepared your 'gasoline'." After that, the valet walked to the building parking lot, where all the 'vehicles' were parked. And obediently, Cerberus followed him.
The Illusion Night first tower's automatic glass doors opened and two headless demons in neat suits bowed to Lord Damon and the others to greet them. As the great demons entered the place, their clothes changed. Lord Damon, Andrew was back in their neat suits, this time without bloodstains on their clothes. Likewise with Lilieth. As for Sarael, a black suit also covered his body.
The sound of their shoes pounding on the floor made all the demons turn around and look at them. Greetings came from all around them, yet they didn't reply and continued walking towards the elevator.
How could they not be upset? Previously, they had succeeded in thwarting Letos' plans, even, almost managed to capture his wife alive. And according to Lord Damon's original plan, they should drag her to Letos as proof of his involvement. But first, they wanted to read that woman's memory.
Who would have thought Letos would suddenly come with his troops? But he didn't come to help his wife. Before they caught her, Letos killed her. It was easy for Letos since he always used a special skill so that his wives couldn't betray him, a skill similar to Demon's Rule but much more sinister and cruel.
After he managed to kill his wife and the rest of her army in front of them, Letos approached them and behaved like a sweet coax. He apologized for this misunderstanding since he couldn't discipline his wife properly and ended up trying to create a war between the Lust demon type and Lord Damon. Unfortunately, Sarael couldn't revive Letos' wife, since Letos had turned her to ashes in an instant. It was quite irritating for them since it meant that their plans were in vain, so they had no other choice but to let him go. Moreover, Letos behaved like a heartbroken man rather than an attacker after that.
As they walked down the lobby, the sound of news on the TV made them stop and turned. On the screen, Letos, who looked regretful and gloomy, was holding a press conference in his office. Dozens of mics lined up on the podium indicated that he had invited all news networks to ensure this news spread throughout the dark dimension. Not forgetting the fake tears that made Lord Damon and the others look at him in disgust.
"This is truly my greatest failure as a demon lord and a husband. I didn't even know that my beloved wife was planning to attack the king. I'm---" Before those words were finished, the TV suddenly exploded. The screen shattered and only left an indistinct colour light there. The demons in that room, the receptionist, the security including all the employees immediately bent their knees and lowered their heads in reflex. Since they already knew that it was Lord Damon who destroyed the TV with his Telekinesis.
"Replace the TV with the new one," he ordered in a cold voice before he walked along with Lilieth and the others.
*Tring!*
The elevator door in front of them opened. The elevator guard who immediately noticed those great demons' bad mood lowered his head.
"33th floor," said Lilieth after they all entered the elevator.
"Yes, Your Highness," the elevator guard pressed the button.
The elevator moved up. They stood in silence and their minds were deep in their thoughts, especially what they should do next. They had been waiting for this for years, preparing everything neatly, spying on Letos' every move yet this still to no avail. Lord Damon and Lilieth started to wonder if there were spies in this tower, but that chance was so low. Different from a few years ago, this place was heavily guarded now and every demon who worked here had to give his/her loyalty to Lord Damon or Lilieth. In addition, Lord Damon Demonic Power had protected these two towers, so if an intruder entered this place without permission, Lord Damon would notice it. Moreover, it was possible that Letos simply watched his wife and acted according to what they did.
The elevator door opened. They got out of there and walked through the hallway past some Succubus dressed like sexy scientists. Simply sexy black lingerie with mesh stocking plus a white scientist coat and high heels. Those scientists greeted them, and they just replied with a nod.
Sarael and Andrew quickly ran forward and opened the white door for Lord Damon and Lilieth. They entered a magic tech lab filled with magic tubes containing Demonic Power, machines, devices and some screens with computers. They approached a short brown haired Succubus who was standing in front of a magic tube. Her finger was busy swiping the computer tablet in her other hand. Her face was similar to Ivy.
"How is it, Irien?" asked Lilieth without further ado. Irien was the first demon to give her loyalty to Lilieth, also Ivy's mother.
Irien turned to her.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness," she greeted. Then she turned to Myra who was busy taking notes in front of the device's screen with a tired face.
"She did a great job, Your Highness. I've also confirmed that all her analyzes were correct. And with my modified magic collar, she can't betray us either."
"Keep an eye on her and tell her to fix it faster," Lord Damon ordered. For the time being all they could do was prioritize repairing the damage she had caused. Even though he knew he still had to repair it with his power, he had to make sure he didn't spend his Demonic Power for nothing since danger was lurking around him, Lilieth and Damian. Even though the demon lords and Demonesses didn't know about Damian yet, who knew if some of them already did?
"Very well, Your Majesty."
Note: Instead of using portal skills, Lord Damon uses a car (Cerberus) because what they are doing is a hunt and Lord Damon doesn't know the exact location (Just like Ethan, Lord Damon has to know the place first, before he can go there). As for the One Eye Demon, Lord Damon couldn't use that to spy on Letos' wife since if she were to find out about that demon's existence then their plan would fail. Also, why do they use elevators while Lord Damon and Lilieth can fly? It's the same reason why humans choose to use an escalator even if it is full of people while they can go faster by running down the stairs next to it.
