The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 389. My Father, The Demon King

*Tring*

That sound made my heart beat faster as my mind was filled with wild guesses about the dark dimension. I opened my eyes and stepped out of the elevator.

"Welcome to the Illusion Night Towers," two blue little Imps greeted me. One was a male and another was a female. Their size was about my palm. A pair of wings and a tail in the same color were on their backs. Office clothes covered their bodies. A grin adorned their faces, showing rows of neat sharp teeth, making them look like grinning baby alligators.

I was stunned. My confusion was clear even though I tried to hide it. Not only because of those demons but also because the place looked like the lobby of a luxury hotel. The room was dominated by beige color, with a crystal chandelier in the shape of the crest of the demon kingdom hanging from the ceiling. Some expensive sculptures and paintings adorned it. If it wasn't for the demons wearing office attire, I would have thought I was still in the human world.

"I thought it connected to the command center," said Ivy in confusion.

Upon her question, I approached my nearest servant, Yuffy.

"Where are we?" I whispered.

"This is the 99th Illusion Night Towers. The Demon Kingdom's Palace. Where the king and his family are," she explained in the same low voice.

"The king is waiting for you. Please follow me," said the Imp, without answering Ivy's question. I could only guess this was Lord Damon's order.

We followed those demons walking down the corridor which was dominated by beige and gold colors, with a touch of black or brown. Ornaments and decorations around it were dominated by modern elegant designs. The lights that illuminated us made this place far from a gloomy vibe.

This place was totally unexpected since I thought this would be more like a medieval stone castle before.

My eyes glanced from side to side, observing everything around me. The decorations were far from gruesome when I previously thought this place was filled with medieval armours or formalized monster corpses. It seemed like I had jumped to baseless conclusions too quickly. Well, the video games always showed the demon palace as a scary place so I couldn't help but think the same.

My sight shifted to Foxy who was walking leisurely beside me. Unlike me, she didn't find all of this weird or surprised by it despite her story was also one of the reasons why I thought the dark dimension was a scary place. But on second thought, she was wearing a yellow hoodie and skirt when I met her for the first time. Previously, I thought she was wearing that outfit after she saw one of Diamond College's students, but it looked like it was her outfit from the start.

As we reached the end of the corridor and almost turned, my gaze shifted to the row of huge windows on my side. I stopped in my tracks and instead of following them, I approached the windows curiously.

My eyes fell on the demon city below me. The colorful flickering of street lights, cars, vehicles, billboards and neon, made it not much different from the human city. My sight could catch a park which was at the end of the street and the night market on the other side. I didn't even catch any old medieval-style buildings here. All of them were the same modern buildings as the human world.

"What the hell..." I muttered. This was very different from the Deadly Swamp. It was as if I was in a different world.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Foxy said. She put her palms on the glass and smiled happily. Her eyes looked at the city in amazement.

'Oh, right. She's never been to this place before,' I thought.

"Sir." A male voice coming from behind us made us realize the others were waiting for us. From how the Imps called me, it seemed like they didn't know me.

"I'm sorry." Then I followed them again.

A minute later, we arrived in front of a huge door. This door was bigger and more luxurious than the others. The door opened by itself and the Imps gestured to us to enter. As soon as we entered it, the door behind us closed. My eyes stared at the hall. The floor was made of white marble. Large pillars made of black crystal neatly lined up on both sides of the room and a red carpet lay all the way to the throne which was at the far end of the room. Not to mention the lamps that looked like diamonds filled the ceiling. This was the most luxurious place I had ever been. Even my partners' mansions were nothing compared to this.

Despite the luxurious vibe of this room, the atmosphere told something different to me. It was heavy and full of intimidation. My eyes fell on Lord Damon who was sitting on his throne. His legs were casually folded. His elbow was on the armrest and his head was on the back of his hand. His eyes were fixed on me and a smirk was on his lips. Somehow even though I knew he only wanted to talk to me, I felt as if I was going to fight the game's last boss.

He held out his hand to me.

"Damian, come here." Even though it was an order, his voice sounded friendly.

Upon his request, I approached him. But when I had only taken a few steps, an announcement in a red box appeared in front of me.

[!!! Warning!!!]

[You are in a demon lord's battle arena!]

At the same time, a giant transparent black dome covered the room. Sensing I was in danger, quickly, I returned my gaze to the throne and Lord Damon was no longer there.

'Shit! Demonic Claw, Demonic Energy!'

[Demonic Claw has been activated.]

[Demonic Energy has been activated.]

[STR: 100 + 180]

[AGI: 60+ 108]

[Time remaining: 4:58]

As I activated my skills, I could feel a movement coming from my side. I managed to dodge it at the last second even though it did succeed in cutting a few strands of my hair. I could even see his claw that resembled mine was one centimeter in front of me.

Unfortunately, even though I was able to dodge it, the impact itself was able to throw me. Quickly, I flicked my wings and stopped in the mid-air with my eyes fixed on Lord Damon.

"What does all this mean?" I said in displeasure.
