Chapter 547: Licheri's Core I

The Incubus System Chapter 547. Licheri's Core I

'Seriously?! This isn't a concert!' I screamed internally as I hovered in the mid-air. We were already in the middle of a crowded city square. Near the city monument to be exact.

Although I chose to fly to go there the crowd still followed us from the building entrance to the square. They joined the crowd that had filled the place and attracted demons around them along the way. It created a bigger mass. It even made me feel bad for my pets and servants who couldn't fly since they had to escape from the crowd.

My eyes fell on the square which was full of demons before I turned my gaze to the monument. The monument was a 150 meters tall stone tower. On the very top of it, Letos' statue sat on the throne and looked at the city, showing who the leader was. It somehow reminded me of Lord Damon's statue in the capital. The difference was that Lord Damon's statue was more flashy than this.

'And they will build my statue after this,' I reminded myself. I could help but cringe since it was kinda weird, at least for me, though I knew it was the highest honor.

'Concentrate, Ethan, you still have a lot to do,' I quickly shook my thoughts.

"My Lord, can we have a quick interview please?" I could faintly hear one of the reporter's shouts mixed in with the ruckus. But it was too crowded so I could only catch a few.

"Where are you from, My Lord? Why was none of us aware of your presence?"

"Why did you kill Lord Letos? Was it for revenge? Or does this have something to do with the king's agenda?"

Ignoring the screams of the crowd beneath me, I flapped my wings without a word and launched to the top. Answering their questions in a place like this would only provoke chaos. So I was planning to hold an official conference later after Lord Damon gained consciousness.

Besides, I still had to search for this city's core, and based on what Nefaris said it wasn't easy. The core looked exactly the same as the others and didn't emit any demonic power unless someone who had the right to claim it touched it. Either the ruler, his/her kids, or someone who managed to kill the previous demon lord. That's why no one noticed it since then it didn't react to anything.

I stopped in the mid-air. It was high enough to the point I couldn't hear the voice of the crowd below me. While I asked my servants and pets to block any reporters who tried to approach us. Even Nefaris helped them. Yeah, the demons didn't only follow me by foot, but also by the air.

My gaze fell on the gray statue in front of me. I had to say the statue was well made and clearly showed how powerful he was. His muscles looked perfect. All the curves and everything were well carved as if it was Letos himself sitting on the stone throne. The only thing that bothered me was that he was naked.

Well, the human world's sculptures and paintings also showed a lot of nudity, especially if those arts were made around the mid-7th century. But it was an art, none of us are allowed to touch it with bare hands. While in this case, I had to use my hands since Nefaris said the core wouldn't react if I didn't touch it directly.

I took a deep breath.

'Here goes for nothing...' I approached and started to touch the parts, like spots that had a different color than the others or parts that looked more suspicious. In sleep mode, the core didn't emit any demonic power, so I could only make a guess.

Minutes passed, and my hands groped every single spot on that statue. But I didn't find it.

'Seriously, why would he hide such an important thing in a public place like this?' But I couldn't deny that this was also a perfect hiding place since no one would expect it. Moreover, mere demons didn't know about this Demon's Reign. While Letos could sense another demon lord's presence from their demonic aura.

Another five minutes had passed, and the flying demons who were trying to get closer to me were getting more and more. Nefaris and my servants were having a hard time getting rid of them. Some even pointed their cameras at me due to their high curiosity. Indeed they wouldn't be interviewing me due to the rules, but I didn't want any of them to record all of this since this was classified information.

"Where are you?" I grunted in annoyance. I wished I could smash the statue and hope the core emerged from the ruin. But according to Nefaris, each core had its own endurance. If I hit it too hard, it could destroy the core. So I had no other choice but to search for it manually.

Exhaling in annoyance, I stepped away and stared at the statue. I tried to observe it with a cool head. Or at least I was trying to cool my head.

'Okay if it is me where will I keep it?' I had touched everything. Literary everything. Even his naked cock, so I was getting frustrated.

My gaze stopped at one point.

'Wait... Maybe not all of it.' I just realized that I hadn't touched a part.

'But is it really there?' I thought in doubt.

Without thinking, I touched it and prayed that my guess was right. Otherwise, it would be very awkward since it was right at the end of his limp cock.

I groped that part and swallowed my shame. It was the first time I felt like the lowest degenerate. Unfortunately, I still couldn't find it.

'Yup. It's not here.' I was just about to take my hand away, but the dark aura that slipped from the statue stabbed into my hand. Followed by an announcement in front of me. A sign that I had found what I was looking for.

[You have found Licheri's core.]

[Demon's Reign has been activated.]

[You are claiming the core in 3... 2... 1...]
