Chapter 282: Parasite I

The Incubus System Chapter 282. Parasite I

I moved my feet quickly towards Diamond's office. My eyes were on Diamond's status in front of me, making sure she was okay.

[Name: Diamond Seabloom] [Age: 20]

[Level 1] [Race: Hybrid-beast]

[HP: 97/97] [MP: 55/55]

[Skills: Sea Communications lv 3]

[Condition: Under a demon's influence. ]

[Weakness: Chest, Neck, Head, Tip of tentacles. ]

[Talent: Kraken's blessing. ]

[Relationship: Incubus' partner. ]

[Profession: Master of the sea, Diamond College Owner.]

Based on her status, I concluded that she might be under a demon's manipulation skill. But strangely, why did her emotions show that she had full consciousness?

Upon that oddity, instead of coming as The Incubus, Damian Lucio, I decided to come as Ethan. In accordance with what that demon wanted.

After I threw a few knocks, I opened the door.

"Good afternoon, Miss Diamond," I greeted with a smile as if I didn't know what was going on. The stinking stench hit my nose as soon as I stepped into the room.

My eyes immediately fell on two things in the room. Made sure the CCTVs were off and Diamond, who was sitting behind her desk. Still, even though her posture showed she was fine, her expression showed something else. She looked scared and I could see her tears flowing from her eyes. But what confused me was, my Vision skill showed two stats above her head. Her status and a Demon's status.

'Observation.'

[Observation skills succeeded.]

[Name: High Parasite Demon]

[Level 60]

[Race: Demon]

[Class: Rare - Demon Lord's assistant]

[Weakness: Energy core (Head).]

[Talent: Take Over lv 2 (Take over the victim's body and control it according to his will. Including the victim's mouth and body movements. The victim's maximum level is 30).]

From his talent, I quickly caught what happened to her. Besides that, I also noticed five other demons who were hiding in that room.

[Name: Parasite Demon]

[Level 31]

[Race: Demon]

[Class: Common - Subordinate]

[Status: Low intelligence type]

[HP: 631/631]

[Weakness: Energy core (Head).]

[Talent: Take Over lv 1 (Take over the victim's body and control it according to his will. Not including the mouth. The victim's maximum level is 10).]

But apart from them, I didn't find any cracks here.

'It's happening again...' I thought. The same thing had happened before. Just like this, a Demon Lord's assistant along with several of his assistants. But there was no crack around, indicating they were out of the anomalous crack used by low-level demons to get here.

Diamond's voice interrupted my thoughts.

"What are you waiting for, Ethan? Come closer. I want to talk to you." Her voice sounded calm even though her face looked pale and scared. It was obvious she was either asking for my help or asking me to run away from her gaze.

"Okay," I replied. My hand moved to lock the door, making sure not a single demon escaped from there before I approached her. I hadn't used my Devil Space since I realized that the demon's special skill might endanger Diamond's life. Energy Drain. That's why I decided to deceive him.

As I was in the middle of the room, I narrowed my eyes and looked at her suspiciously.

"Miss Diamond, are you okay? You look pale," I said as I slowed down my steps.

"I'm fine. Quick, come here," she replied with a smile. But her gaze said a different thing.

As soon as I got closer, I realized she hid a broken vase in her hand. From there, I guessed that instead of controlling my body, it seemed like the demon was planning to eat me.

An idea popped into my head. Although I didn't like this idea, I was quite sure it was effective enough to get the Demon out of her body.

Instead of just sitting on the chair, without hesitation, I placed my bag on one of the chairs and walked to her side. I put my hand on the side of her face and smiled gently.

"Miss Diamond, do you miss me? I'm here now. Please, don't be sad..." I said in a melancholy tone. We hadn't seen each other for a week, since the beginning of the exam week to be precise.

And as I expected, she replied to me with a stab in my stomach.

[You have taken 12 physical damage.]

[Warning! You are bleeding.]

[Your HP will decrease by 1 point per minute.]

I lowered my hand and glanced down, pretending to be shocked. My eyes looked at the sharp broken vase in Diamond's hand with my blood dripping from the tip and my blood-stained shirt. Luckily, I used my Demon's Clothes skill today. Still... Although I was just pretending, the pain was real. This was the reason why I hated this plan.

As my legs staggered backwards, I shifted my hand over my wound to cover it or the demon would notice that I could regenerate. It only took a second before another announcement appeared.

[The bleeding effect has been stopped.]

[HP Recovery has been activated.]

[Your HP will regenerate 1 point every 3 seconds.]

"Miss Diamond... Why...?" I said in a trembling voice. My eyes showed my disappointment and demanded an answer with her betrayal.

Even though Diamond's tears flowing from her trembling eyes were getting more and more, a sly smile graced her lips.

"Fool... What a foolish human..." she said.

"I am..." I answered as if I was a broken-hearted man who had been wasted by his lover.

"Why... Why did you stab me...? Don't you love me anymore?" I acted like a crazy fool in love.

And she replied to me with an evil laugh. I could see the demons around me had started to show themselves. Five slimes shaped like dark green giant jelly in toddlers' size. Their faces were just a mouth and a pair of red eyes with a small orb at the top of them. At the same time, my HP recovery continued and healed my wounds.

Weakly, I brushed off the vase in her hand and hugged her with one of my hands desperately. In order to make it look realistic, I made my breath sound heavy as if I was enduring pain.

"Now, tell me... What did I do wrong? Why are you doing this to me...?" I said in a pleading voice.

Her evil smile widened, though her tears were running down her face.

"Do you want to know why?" She brought her face closer to mine.

"Because I'm not your girlfriend... I'm a demon--- who has taken over her body..."

"Who are you?" I said, pretending to be surprised.

"Let me introduce myself, foolish human..." Diamond opened her mouth wide. I could see something climbing up from her throat to her mouth. A second later a black slime appeared from her mouth. He had the same shape as the others.

As soon as he managed to get his head out, a sly grin was in his mouth. His red eyes looked at me menacingly.

"I'm---" Before he could finish his words, my hand grabbed his head as I used my skill.

'Dark Bound!'

My dark aura immediately enveloped his body, including the rest of his body which was still inside Diamond's.

[A High Parasite Demon has been successfully bound!]

[Warning! Your enemy level is above your level, this skill will break in 3 seconds! ]

He was startled by my sudden movement. Now, it was my turn to smile slyly. Without wasting time, I pulled that slime out of Diamond's mouth. At the same time, I used another skill.

'Silence!'

[Your skill has failed!]

[Cooldown: 1 minute ]

'Too bad!' My hand threw him to the middle of the room. That skill only had a 70% chance of success on enemies above my level.

Unfortunately, with his elastic body, he was able to land unharmed. Meanwhile, as soon as the other demons saw I attacked their leader, they crawled to him.

At the same time, Diamond coughed. Her weak body almost fell, reflexively, I caught her and pulled her into my embrace with one hand. Without saying a word, she hugged me tightly. I could feel her hands and body shaking in fear. My eyes fell on that High Parasite Demon.

"Who wants to listen to your boring introduction, asshole?" I said in displeasure. My gaze was filled with clear killing intent.

As they were still stunned and looked at me in surprise, I raised my middle finger at them, exposing my healed wound to them.

"Get lost from my woman!"
