Chapter 427: Pain and Gain VI
The Incubus System Chapter 425. Pain and Gain VI
I quickly used my skills and crossed my arms in front of me.
[Demonic Claw has been activated.]
[Demonic Energy has been activated.]
[STR: 200+100 +360]
[AGI: 70+35+108]
[Time remaining: 4:58]
His claws landed on my Demonic Claw. Even though it managed to push me back, this time, I was able to withstand his attack.
'Fucking shit! He's heavy!' I gritted my teeth.
"I need to check a lot of documents today," he continued. As soon as I peeked through the gap between my claws, I could see his evil grin.
"I will use half of my power this time." His bones wings created ten skeleton hands to grab me.
I flicked my wings to dodge, bringing my body upwards a few meters away. Just enough to escape his wings. His wings were the most annoying things for me. It could make a lot of hands so I had to immobile him before I could land my attack. With my current power and speed, everything should be easier. After all, since he only used half of his power, he should only be 20 levels different from me.
I threw my black lances at him.
"It's useless Damian." He was about to use his Death Scythe to counter it, but I used my barrier in front of him, blocking his attack from destroying my lances. While my Demonic Spike suddenly turned up before darting down at him.
In one slash, my barrier broke but the one who was shocked was him, not me.
My lances rained down on him like wolves pouncing on their prey, but he quickly used his barrier.
As he paid his attention to it, I lunged at him and used my Wrath Kill. But that didn't mean I would attack him normally.
Again, I threw my lances to break through the barrier. That should be enough to destroy it. And I was right. As the last lance pierced it, the barrier broke into pieces. He looked surprised by that, but he kept his composure.
Still, his death scythe was ready to split me in two. He raised his weapon since he thought I was going to attack him with my claws. But no, I attacked him using something else.
'Hell Thunder!'
With my Wrath Kill, the skill range was much farther away. My black lightning grabbed his body. Although it wasn't enough to paralyze him, it was enough to shock him.
[You have struck Damon Arcano Malignus for 390 HP]
Realizing my chance, I swung my claw at him.
A loud crashing sound boomed as my claw and his weapon collided. If it weren't for my Demonic Claw covering my arms, the blade was enough to scratch me and I was sure it was enough to inflict a fatal wound on me.
"You've learned well," he said.
"Thank you." I smiled, but that didn't mean our fight was over.
'Telekinesis!' And as I suspected, my invisible force managed to grab his body. It was enough to hold him in for a while. I wanted to use my Dark Bound, but I was not sure it can be used on a Demon King like him. Moreover, my class was far below him.
This time, I called upon my black lances again. They appeared all around us, encircling us like soldiers ready to slay their foe and rushing at him mercilessly.
"You shitty brat..." he hissed. Yet his smirk showed how satisfied he was with what I did.
But, a moment later, I was the one who bounced off. Not just me, but also all of my lances. I flicked my wings and tried to lessen the impact but I couldn't. As a result, I successfully hit the ground.
I gritted my teeth and got back on my feet. Even though it wasn't hard enough to do any damage, it didn't mean I could let my guard down. But the moment I could stand up, I was stunned in shock. Lord Damon was already in front of me. Although his face didn't change, his skin color was as pale as a dead man's. His sclera turned black. Its horns were elongated. His body was enlarged, taller than usual, and covered by thick black skin. His black core on his chest.
'Heavy...' His aura alone could grab me. It was like there were big barbells on my hands and feet. I felt like I was facing death itself.
From there I realized... He had returned to his original form.
"You fought well." His voice brought me back to my senses.
"Is this your true form?" I forced myself to speak.
He grinned.
"This is my demon lord form. Something you will get soon."
"My fourth form?" I asked. I already had my human form, Incubus form, and demonic form, so the demon lord form would be my fourth form.
"Fourth?" he scoffed, which was followed by his mocking laughter.
"That human form doesn't count. That's just a fake. This will be your third form." His dark aura covered us once again. Once it disappeared, we were already in my safety ward.
He approached the armor and held out his hand. A few seconds later, the armor turned into a dark aura.
"Now try it.."
Despite my confusion over the armor's new shape, I decided to extend my hand as usual.
[Do you want to turn off the armor visibility?]
[Yes/No]
"I can make the armor invisible now?" I said in surprise. Now, I understood why he changed the shape of the armor.
"You will need it. Some things are better hidden," he replied.
"Okay," I said.
'Yes.' Even though the armor was flowing down my body, it didn't show anything. I didn't even feel anything there, as if the armor had become one with me.
[Protection of the Demon King has been equipped]
[Reduces physical attack damage by 20%]
[Reduces magic attack damage by 20%]
"How is it possible?" I muttered. My hands groped all over my body, trying to figure out where it was going.
And he replied with another frown.
"Are human's magic tech not at this stage yet?"
I shook my head from side to side.
"They are even more pathetic than the demons," he scoffed.
"That doesn't explain this," I said.
"Even Letos' weapon can do the same. What makes you think I can't do it? Are you underestimating me? Or do you think demons carry their weapons openly like idiots?" he said in displeasure.
"I'm not. But where did it go?" I asked for his explanation.
"In your body of course," he answered with a frown.
"Do I have some sort of inventory or something?" I assumed since I had a system like RPG games, I might have an inventory I didn't know about.
He gave me a flat stare.
I grinned awkwardly. From his gaze, I knew my guess was wrong.
"That armor is my power. It simply enters your body and mixes with yours," he explained.
"Oh, I get it. Then what about its durability?" I asked.
"That can be fixed as long as you put it back in the magic tube. But outside of this room, you shouldn't take it off," he warned me.
"Even in the shower or when I have sex?" I asked.
"Never ever let it go," he pressed.
"Okay, fine. I get it." Well, the armor itself had turned into a dark aura. I didn't feel anything, even though I was naked. So it was not a problem for me.
"Good." In a blink, he suddenly appeared in front of me. His hands gripped my shoulder.
"Grit your teeth!" he ordered.
