Chapter 723: The Cause?
The Incubus System Chapter 713. The Cause?
Lilieth stared at me, her brow furrowed, clearly confused. "That's new," she said quietly, almost to herself, her voice tinged with disbelief. I glanced at her, curiosity bubbling up inside me.
"I know, but can we talk about it later?" I cut in, my tone a little urgent. "We have something more important right now."
Lilieth sighed, pulling her gaze away. I could feel the disappointment, but she didn't push the issue. "Let me guess. You wanted to know about that massive crack?" she asked, her voice sounding amused, like she already knew.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
I nodded, confirming her suspicion.
"It was Zatan and Beel," she revealed casually, like it was no big deal.
Lilieth flicked her fingers, and without any warning, a chair slid across the room as if moved by an invisible force. I watched as it stopped just in front of me.
With a graceful movement, she sat down, crossing her legs, clearly making herself comfortable for what promised to be a long conversation. Her high heels clicked softly on the floor as she adjusted herself.
My mind raced with anxiety as I tried to process what she'd just said. I had to ask. "Have you caught them yet?" I searched her eyes, hoping for some sign of good news. But her answer crushed that hope almost immediately.
"Unfortunately, no," she said, disappointment clear in her tone. But then she added something that sparked a glimmer of hope. "But we found their trail. It's just like you said. They're fighting each other, trying to mess with the energy balance of the border."I frowned, trying to wrap my head around this. "Do you know where they are?" My voice was laced with urgency.
"We do. But when we got there, it was too late. They were gone," she said, shaking her head. I could feel my heart drop at the news. But she wasn't done yet. "The crack... it appeared somewhere else. Not in the same spot. So they're still around here."
I stopped, my brain processing the information. "Wait, so... do they have some way to create the crack? They just need to find where it opens?" My voice trailed off, trying to piece things together.
Lilieth nodded. "Exactly. If they can open it once, tracking it down is easy. They just follow the wild demons that get pulled through."
Her words hit me. If they were tracking where the crack opened, it meant they were getting closer. Much closer. I shuddered at the thought of them potentially breaking through into the human world. That would be a disaster.
"That's bad..." I muttered, more to myself than to her.
"Yeah. But we're still trying to find them," she continued. "The demon lords are still recovering. They're not much different from Lord Damon right now." She looked over at him as he slept, unmoving. "They're weak, but we can't let our guard down. I'm just hoping we can catch them soon."
I exhaled slowly, trying to calm myself. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, and the anxiety was building. I glanced at Lord Damon again, but he was still motionless. It was frustrating. He was supposed to be powerful.
"If you need anything, just let me know," I said firmly, hoping there was something I could do to help. But Lilieth shook her head, her expression serious.
"There's nothing you can do," she replied. "The only thing you can do now is wait for them to make their next move."
I let out a sigh, feeling more useless than ever. "Right," I muttered, trying to hide my disappointment.
Lilieth softened slightly. "By the way, you should thank your queens," she said, her voice a little gentler than usual. "Nefaris in particular. She really surprised me by stepping up to protect the capital. You know how lazy she is, right? But this time... she's different."
I raised an eyebrow in surprise. Nefaris? The same Nefaris who couldn't be bothered with anything unless it involved her own amusement? It was hard to picture her taking any real initiative.
"I'll make sure she gets her favorite blood tonight," I said, appreciating the info. It was rare for Lilieth to actually compliment someone, let alone a queen.
"Okay." Lilieth stood, her long purple hair swaying behind her as she moved. "I'll let her know you're here. Just remember to rest afterward, and do it in your room. You know she can't come in here, right?" Her tone was almost teasing now, but there was still an edge of concern in her voice.
I nodded, remembering that this room was off-limits to everyone unless they were invited. Even then, they had to be accompanied by one of us. It was our sanctuary, a place where Lord Damon could be safe from unwanted attention.
"Yeah, I got it," I replied.
"I will excuse myself then," Lilieth smiled, just a little, before using her teleportation skill. A dark aura surrounded her body for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, she was gone.
