Chapter 651: The Great Demon Has Returned I

The Incubus System Chapter 641. The Great Demon Has Returned I

Once I stepped out of my portal, the night sky greeted me. The stars were out in full force, twinkling like diamonds against the inky blackness. The moon was full and round, casting a pale glow over the city below.

The wind was strong and gusty, whipping through my hair and face. It was so refreshing. I could feel the coldness of the night on my skin, and I couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling invigorated by the fresh air. The tall buildings were illuminated by colorful neon lights, casting a vibrant glow over the streets. They stretched up towards the sky as if they were reaching for the stars. The streets were empty and silent, with not a single vehicle in sight. It was as if the entire city had been abandoned.

Even though the government had stated that the city was safe and could operate as usual, many people still didn't dare to spend time outside their homes at night. The streets were deserted, and the only signs of life were the flickering neon lights that illuminated the buildings. Even Ledred was not operating as usual and closed early.

I had deliberately chosen Lightglen as my destination, knowing that the city had the thinnest border energy compared to the others. This meant that demons, like Zatan and Beel, were more likely to appear in this place. And I was not disappointed. As soon as I stepped out of my portal, I could sense the presence of demons lurking in the shadows. Well, most of them were just low-level demons, still, we had to clean them up.

"Spread out and kill as many demons as you can. Come back here in half an hour," I ordered, my eyes fixed on the street in front of me coldly. My pets, who had been waiting for my command, immediately answered in unison, "Roger that!"

As they spoke, they began to transform. Their fur rippled and elongated, becoming thick and black. Their teeth elongated into razor-sharp fangs, and their claws grew longer and sharper. They had transformed into hideous demons, ready for battle.

My pets spread out in all directions, moving nimbly and swiftly. They were like shadows, darting through the streets, hunting down the demons that lurked in the darkness. Their movements were graceful and fluid, and they seemed to be one with shadows.

Waiting for my pets, I decided to enjoy the scenery around me, anything that caught my attention. Either it was the sky, movements, or my pets' battle.

'Ha... I'm bored.' A minute just passed yet that feeling already grasped me, but I could leave the spot since this was my pets' first night hunt in the human world, anything could go wrong. I needed to stay until they were finished.

Well, I could take the opportunity to do my Shadow Ritual with my partner, but I decided to hold myself back. It would be very strange if they found out that The Great Demon and Ethan Strongheart returned on the same day. I also would not show myself to the public for the same reason. It was better to remain in the shadows and move in silence.

There was a possibility that the demon hunters assumed Lilieth wasn't related to me although they had met her and the others during the previous attack. They had never seen us together anyway.

I sat on the side of the building with my feet dangling in the air and couldn't help but feel a sense of exhilaration. The wind was whipping through my hair and clothes. My eyes were fixed on the street below, a sight that would terrify any human being. The thought of falling to death was something that would send most people into a panic, but it didn't scare me anymore.

Ever since I turned into a demon and had my wings, the fear of falling had long dissipated. Instead, I felt a sense of freedom and liberation, overlooking the city. It was as if I were a bird, soaring high above the earth, free from the constraints of gravity.

'Should I invite one of my partners here?' I thought. The thought was tempting, but I knew that it would be unfair to them. Treating them as a filler for my boredom would be the worst thing in a relationship, and I didn't want to do that to them.

I knew that my partners were important to me, and I didn't want to jeopardize our relationship by using them to alleviate my own boredom. I wanted to be with them because I loved them, not because I needed something to distract me from my own thoughts.

So, I decided to fill my boredom with other things. I took my phone from my pocket and started scrolling through the screen. It was Damian's phone, so even if the demon hunters tracked it, it wouldn't be a problem. I would turn it off before I left later, so there wouldn't be any traces of my weird movement.

I looked through the phone and couldn't help but notice that I barely got any messages. Everyone on the phone already knew my identity, so there were no surprises or secrets. The only messages I received were a few random ads, which I quickly swept away.

Since I didn't have any messages to read, I decided to browse the internet to find out the public's view of the last demon attack. I searched for news articles and forum posts, trying to get a sense of what people were saying about the attack, especially about me.

Some praised my actions and my ability to protect the city from the demons. They even started to take my side, seeing me as a savior rather than a monster.

On the other hand, some were against me. They saw it as a fake act and criticized my actions. They believed that I had another motive behind my actions.

As I read through the comments and articles, I felt a sense of mixed emotions. On one hand, it was satisfying to see that some people supported my actions and saw me as a hero though I wasn't. On the other hand, it was disheartening to see that others saw me as a monster and criticized my actions despite the fact that I had saved their ass. But I knew that I couldn't please everyone.
