The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 533. Trapping The Incubus Lord II

Letos' PoV

Letos had just landed his feet in his mansion's courtyard which looked much quieter than usual, but Nefaris prevented him from entering the building.

"So slow. Where have you been, pervert king?" she complained without further ado, folding her arms in front of her chest arrogantly.

Letos didn't answer. He wasn't interested in arguing or saying anything.

"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" she said, ignoring Letos' sour face completely.

"Get lost!" Letos ordered curtly before he walked past her.

Nefaris did not react. But when he passed by her side, she spoke again.

"Lilieth has arrested all of your subordinates and wives."

It shocked Letos. He stopped in his tracks and turned to her.

"What did you say?" he said in disbelief.

"Lilieth has arrested all of your subordinates and wives," Nefaris repeated.

That explained why he couldn't feel anything other than Nefaris' Demonic Power. He thought her power had overwhelmed the others.

"Where are they?" he said in a clear panic. Then he approached her impatiently. "Tell me where are they?!" he snapped. He didn't think things could turn bad in an instant like this.

But Nefaris replied with a displeased face.

"Take it easy will ya? Geez!" she said in displeasure.

"Where are they?!" he repeated in a higher voice, ignoring what Nefaris said.

"She was taking them to the capital," replied Nefaris.

Without further ado, he turned around and planned to take them back. With that many demons, Lilieth should have taken them manually since it was too much for her portal. He wasn't sure he could free them if they had made it to the capital.

What Nefaris said next made him stop in his tracks.

"But someone managed to bring them back," she said.

Letos turned to her.

"Who?"

Nefaris gave him a teasing smile.

"You know this demon well," she said in a casual tone.

"Who? And where did he take them?!" Letos raised his voice impatiently.

"Gladiator Arena," she replied. "You should pick them up now before Damon comes."

"You haven't answered my question, Nefaris. Who is this demon? And why did he do it?" he demanded. He didn't want to fall into another trap.

"I told you you know about this demon, Letos. He also has a grudge against Damon," Nefaris replied.

"Just tell me who!" he snapped.

"You're dumber than I thought. Can't you feel his sword?" she asked confidently.

He frowned in confusion.

"Sword?" he repeated in confusion before he recalled the nostalgic Demonic Power he felt when he entered Licheri. Thinking again, it was the same as what he felt a few months ago.

A second later, he gasped. His eyes widened in disbelief as he realized who he was. That nostalgic demonic power was Erebus' sword! Nightmare.

"That's impossible..." he muttered in clear confusion and happiness. A smile bloomed on his lips.

But then, that smile faded.

"Wait for a second… If he's still alive, why doesn't he come back?" he asked suspiciously.

"Damon locked him up. Along with his swords…" Nefaris replied.

"Where?"

"Torture Abyss."

Once again, he gasped in shock. Now he understood why he couldn't find Erebus.

"Then why can't I feel his Demonic Power?" he asked.

"That's because he hides it. He has to hide from Damon to execute his grand plan," Nefaris replied casually.

"Wait… Do you mean he was the one who was pretending to be my dead assistant?" he made a bull eye guess.

"Bingo. He had no other choice but to do it. He knew you were loyal to him but he needed someone to distract Damon so he could prepare his plans. Now, all preparations have been completed. So he wants you to join him once again, just like the past," she tempted.

That was enough to explain everything.

'Just like the past…' Those words rang in his ears as he could remember when Erebus locked Damon in the human world.

A grin bloomed on his lips.

"Where is he?" he asked in a much calmer tone. He thought it was his worst day, but he was wrong.

"He's been waiting for you in the arena."

Although there was still a lingering suspicion in his heart, he decided to give it a shot. Moreover, he knew the sword's power was real.

They went there as fast as they could. Letos flew and Nefaris turned into a bat to follow him.

They arrived at a large dome-shaped building. With the entrance wide open, they could see straight into the field in the middle of it.

Letos landed on his feet and strode in a rush. His heart was pounding wildly. His eyes fell on the lonely Nephilim figure standing in the center of the arena. It was Erebus' trademark expression whenever he was alone.

"Impossible…" Letos hissed in disbelief. Still, he pulled out his poison claws. Who knew he was that human world's incubus who was pretending to be Erebus?

But from the sword in his hand, he should be a real Erebus. That sword gave off a distinctive demonic power that Letos couldn't forget and it wouldn't acknowledge any master other than that Nephilim.

Letos approached him in caution and immediately realized there was only one sword in his hand. He stopped his steps and turned to Nefaris.

"Where's the other sword?"

"He lost it when he fought in the last tier of Torture Abyss," she replied.

"Last tier?" he said in disbelief. He didn't even want to put his foot in that place.

"Yes. He managed to kill all the demons and mastered their power. That's how he got out of there," she replied, smirking evilly.

It left Letos speechless since no one could ever get out of that horrible place. But mastering the last tier demons' power to break through the seal might be the only way to do that.

He knew this could be a trap, but the sword in his hand was undeniable evidence. On the other hand, Letos desperately needed an ally to be able to fight Damon. So this was his only hope.

Clenching his hands, he continued on his way and stopped 10 meters away from Erebus.

"Lord Erebus?" he asked in mixed emotions.

Erebus turned to him and smiled. It was the same smile when Erebus released him from Letos' mother a thousand years ago.

"Long time no see, Letos."
