Chapter 299: Angel in The Crystal II

The Incubus System Chapter 299. Angel in The Crystal II

Despite Mia's blurry memory, I was pretty sure of my guess. Unfortunately, Mia didn't realize it was an angel since she was just a little kid back then and her parents covered up the truth. While I wasn't sure she already realized it by now since her mind was already preoccupied with many other things, especially since she focused herself on balancing her political power in recent years. After all, it happened a long time ago.

Once I noticed Mia's eyes were starting to return to normal, I used my other skill.

'Manipulation.'

A second later, her eyes looked empty again.

[Manipulation skills succeeded.]

"Mia, this is just a dream. You are just too tired after all those wild games. Please go back to sleep." Instead of altering her memories, I decided to use my Manipulation skill and take advantage of her drowsiness to put her back to sleep.

Mia nodded her head. Without a word, she lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

My eyes fell on Mia who was sleeping in front of me in guilt. My hand came closer to her face to brush her hair. But I stopped before I could reach her and pulled back my hand. I knew I should have confessed my identity to her, but I postponed it because of the angel. It wasn't like I didn't believe her, but I had to be careful because this was the first time I had found a connection with the light dimension.

The angels were the demons' natural enemies and we had equal powers. If I made a fatal mistake and didn't handle this matter carefully, I could trigger a great war between the light and dark dimensions. Besides... Even though I was a Nephilim, I hadn't broken my angelic seal yet or rather I didn't know how. So rather than a real Nephilim, I was still a demon now.

'Is that mean the Kingdom of Serpent Rock has something to do with the light dimension? But how do they communicate with each other? Is the angel in that crystal the light dimension's messenger?' But I was not sure about that since I found some oddities there. Unfortunately, there were no other memories that could explain the relationship between her family and the angels.

I was deep in thought for a moment, trying to draw conclusions or guess from the little information I had.

'No... I don't think so...' If they had it, the Queen shouldn't have proposed raising the vaccine's price in an emergency like last time. Instead, she should have cooperated with the association to defeat the demons. Besides, if that angel was the light dimension's messenger, why was she inside the crystal? Why didn't she show herself in flesh and help the demon hunters?

Although I didn't know the reason and made this guess based only on Mia's memory and my judgment, that Angel was more like trapped in there. Besides that, I remembered Yuffy and the others had told me that the angels had already strengthened the boundary between the light dimension and the human world, so no angels could enter the human world. In other words, this angel shouldn't be in the human world.

'Is she an exile? Just like Erebus' mother?' Another wild guess crossed my head. Yes, Gabrielle, Erebus' mother, was a High Angel. But the light dimension exiled her to the human world, which led her to a fateful encounter with Lord Damon's father, Xenos.

Previously, my generals and I thought that the angel's involvement was only limited to giving their power to create the vaccine using the crack similar to what Myra created, but much smaller. It was just enough to give a bit of their angelic power and injected the demon hunter vaccine with holy elements. But it turned out that our guess was wrong.

Wild guesses filled my head, from the worst to the stupid. But since I couldn't hold my curiosity, I decided to find out more. I got up to grab my cellphone which was in the next room before I went back into my women's room and sat on a massage chair. My finger unlocked the screen and opened a search engine website to check the Kingdom of Serpent Rock's time zone.

'Nice,' I thought as soon as I discovered our time zone had a 6-hour difference. So it was still past midnight there.

Without wasting time, I put my cellphone on the table and stood up from my seat. My dark aura that covered my body changed my clothes into a black tight suit. A masquerade mask covered one-third of my face. I decided to infiltrate her palace now. With my Mind Corruption's current level, I could see her memories clearly, including the background. So I could open my portal to that place.

I shifted my hand to empty space.

'Portal.'

[Set your destination.]

'Red Viper Palace, Kingdom of Serpent Rock.'

[Skill failed!]

[You can't open the portal to a place protected by a holy barrier!]

I lowered my hand slowly and exhaled in disappointment.

'Of course, they have better protection.' Still, it didn't mean I would give up.

Once again, I used my Demon's Clothes to change my clothes to my usual and remove my mask. My feet moved to the bed and woke Foxy with a low voice.

"Foxy, Foxy, wake up." My hand shook her body.

Lazily, Foxy opened her sleepy eyes and sat down on the bed.

"What is it, Master?" Her hand rubbed her eyes. Although I didn't want to wake her up, my curiosity couldn't wait. If I could communicate with that Angel, maybe she could tell me how to release my angelic seal.

"Come with me. I need you to do something important for me," I said in a lower voice.

Foxy's brows furrowed in confusion. But seeing my serious expression, she nodded in agreement.

As we moved to the sofa, she used her Demon's Clothes to cover her body with her usual clothes. I sat on the sofa and leaned my back backwards, my hand extended to her.

"What should I do, Master?" Foxy asked. Her eyes looked at my hand in confusion.

"I'll explain later. Just let me borrow your body for a while." My head was filled with questions and curiosity. After all, instead of giving her the explanation that only contained my guess, wouldn't it be better if I explained it after I got more evidence?

"Okay," she replied.

After I used my Master's Blessing on her, I shifted my hand to empty space as I opened my portal.

'Portal.'

[Set your destination.]

'Center Park, Grand Dusk District, Kingdom of Serpent Rock.'

[The destination has been set.]

My portal opened in front of me.

[The portal has opened! ]

It was the closest place based on Mia's memory to her palace.

'Close the portal after Foxy arrives at the destination!'

[Waiting for Foxy enters and leaves the portal]

I closed my eyes.

'Access servant's body, Foxy. '

[You are connected to Foxy.]

'Full Synchronization!'

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

The darkness in my sight began to change with the view of myself sitting on the sofa. My hand fell weakly as if I was sleeping. I shifted my eyes on Foxy's hands and moved them to make sure I could move her body perfectly. After I used Foxy's hiding skill, I stepped into the portal.

Like passing through a time warp, the dark night and the view of the empty park greeted my vision as soon as I exited my portal. My eyes swept around me to check my surroundings and immediately fell on a magnificent building, which was dominated by red colour with the elegant middle east design, 500 meters from me. The roof was like a big dome. Two towers with large serpent heads on top were on the sides.

I moved my feet quickly towards it but stopped as soon as I saw several military guards in the dark red uniform standing like statues in their posts. A magic rifle was in their hands. No, it wasn't their appearance that surprised me, but their level that was almost the same as the rookie demon hunter's level.
