Chapter 400: Power Comparison I
The Incubus System Chapter 398. Power Comparison I
As for the crack, as I expected, it was the other demon lords and demoness' doing. They used their powers to make things worse. They used the same method as Lord Damon, giving their power to their trusted subjects and spreading them to many places. When they found a crack, they either used it to escape to the human world or mixed their energy to create an anomaly crack. It was like mixing oil in water. The crack couldn't close automatically unless someone replaced that power with the same power as Lord Damon's.
I took this opportunity to share all my findings. Including conveying The Spider Queen, the Glob King, the Gargoyle King and The Incubus Lord involvement. But according to them, only The Gargoyle King and The Incubus Lord made significant moves. Funnily enough, the demon lords and demoness were former or children of Erebus' followers. So this was a bit ironic for them and me since I was his descendant.
Especially the Incubus King. He hated Lilieth and Lord Damon but idolized Erebus. The reason? It was Erebus who helped him to overthrow his mother a thousand years ago. Yes, rather than an incubus, a thousand years ago lust demon kind was led by a queen, a Succubus. Letos was just an exile back then. Since his mother was too afraid of Letos' power so she locked him up, leaving him starving without being able to have sex for days. But Erebus freed him and made him the king of lust demon kind. It was also one of the reasons why he kept suppressing the succubus, executing those who disobeyed his orders and hated Lilieth. But Erebus' reign only lasted ten years, before Lord Damon killed him in the human world and reclaimed his throne, so Letos wanted to avenge him.
Unfortunately, even if we knew their identities, without clear evidence, Lord Damon couldn't just execute them. Their deaths would cause new chaos in the demon world. The struggle for power, disaster, rebellion, even it could create new enemies. So for now, Lord Damon could only tighten his surveillance and spread all his trusted subjects to look for evidence.
This was one of the reasons why he pulled out all his soldiers. He knew the problem wasn't in the human world anymore, but here. So he had to end it here. After all, this way, he could focus his concentration here.
As I thought, before, Lord Damon only sent his soldiers to the human world to solve the crack problem. He had never thought of protecting humans from the start. So right now, humans had to face all those attacks alone. Although I was a little worried, all my partners already had my protection. Not to mention the elite soldiers who protected them.
Lord Damon and the others also knew about the famous quotes that were spreading among the demons. A quote that indirectly taught how demons had to hide among their food. He had tried to stop it but to no avail. Unfortunately stating that the quote was illegal would only make it spread faster so they could only hold themselves back.
In addition, Andrew also warned us about the crack above Lightglen City which could open at any time. It was the most possible thing after so many energy disturbances at the border.
"So, for the time being, all our enemies are moving secretly?" I confirmed.
"More or less. At least we haven't received any meaningful movement reports other than finding a way to the human world," Andrew replied.
My mind was immediately deep in thought since it was either good news or bad news. The good news was, the real war hadn't occurred yet, I still had enough time to learn a few things about the dark dimension. The bad news was, there was nothing scarier than an enemy that was moving underground. They could have hatched a hideous plan and waited for the right opportunity to ambush us.
I turned to Lord Damon who had been silent ever since. Just like me, he also looked deep in thought.
"The last battle. You said you were only used 1/3 of your strength, right?" I asked. It dispersed his thoughts and made him return his attention to me.
"That's right."
"Compared to the other demon lords, how strong are they?" I decided from the basic question, measure my enemy's strength.
"Most of them have 1/2 of my power. Twice is stronger than you. Letos is the strongest among them. I estimate his power is almost 3/4 of mine," he explained. That explained why the demon lords cooperated and waited for the right moment to kill Lord Damon.
His explanation was good news for me since I might be able to close our power gap between us. Still, there was one thing that bothered me.
"I know this may sound stupid. But... If they are hundreds or thousands of years old, why can't their strength grow beyond this?"
"Because they're already at their max level," Lilieth replied. She turned to Andrew.
"Turn on the hologram." She decided to give me more explanation.
Andrew took a remote from the table and pressed a button. The room turned dark as a small pyramid-shaped device emerged from the middle of our table. That device emitted a hologram of several demon forms along with a list of their maximum levels.
Common class demon lv 1-50
Rare class demon lv 30-70
Epic class demon lv 60-120
"All of it depends on the class. In addition, the status can also help a demon to break through his/her level," said Andrew. As he pressed a button on his remote, more information appeared on the hologram.
Noble demon lv 30-80
Assistant/maid/elite soldier demon lv 40-80
General demon lv 70-100
Royal demon/ Demon Lord/Demoness lv 100-120
King lv 120-240
"As you can see, General, Royal and King have different level limits than others." Andrew closed his explanation.
The hologram was enough to explain the strength difference of each demon. But there was one thing that made me curious.
"What about Letos? Why does he have higher power than the others?" I asked.
"That's because he has a special weapon that he took from his mother," replied Lord Damon.
