Chapter 217: Aw! Aw! Aw!
The Incubus System Chapter 217. Aw! Aw! Aw!
Emma, Ruby and Larry's PoV
"Is he also the demon that helped you on Ironshade Town's attack?" asked Larry. He remembered that Ruby mentioned it at their meeting this morning and Larry paid more attention to it since the location was near Ethan's house.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
"Yeah ... It's him ..." Ruby replied in a gloomy tone. Her eyes on her demon Compass, making sure the indicator pointed to the number 0 which meant there were no other demons around them. Her hand pressed a button on the Demon Compass to report that this place was safe and the police were allowed to evacuate those around them.
Larry fell silent as he remembered the demon's black lances. The same black lances he had seen a week ago.
"He also helped me, Emma and Theo," said Larry out of blue. He knew they decided to keep their mouths shut about the incident since they were afraid the association thought they were lying. But because the demon had shown himself, he decided to say it.
Ruby turned to Larry with a frown.
"When? Why didn't you report it to the headquarters?" Even though Larry was childish, he never covered up important things like this. Especially something related to demons.
"Last week. We didn't report it because we didn't see him in person. He just used those black lances to kill those demons. We didn't even know he was a demon. How could we possibly report something like that to the headquarters?" He turned to Emma.
"Right?" he asked for her agreement.
Emma, who had been silent and only listened to both of them to make sure Ethan's identity remained hidden, finally opened her voice.
"Uh ... Yeah. He helped us, but he didn't show himself. So we just saw him today," she replied without any further explanation since she didn't want to get involved with their conversation. She realized Ethan was much stronger than when he fought the Nefarious Imp last week. But since that Imp was very dangerous and considering what that demon could do to perforate the buildings around them last week. Of course, Ethan had to kill that Imp quickly, even if he had to reveal himself in front of them. In fact, in less than five minutes, those Nefarious Imps had succeeded in changing the streets around them as if they were standing in the middle of the barnacles on the rock surface. She also knew the reason why Ethan didn't use his Devil Space skill was to protect Larry and Ruby. Since they couldn't fight if they were in the Demonic Curse effect.
Ruby frowned again. That meant the demon had helped the demon hunters so many times, she even guessed it was that demon who helped the dying demon hunter last night.
"Why did he fight other demons ... Why did he help us ... Why did he protect humans ..." she muttered in confusion. Her mind was deep in thought, trying to find a reasonable reason. Did the demons fight over the human world's territory? But if that was the case, the demon should have attacked them after killing those Imps. But the demon just gave them a warning and disappeared. He also kept warning them that their time was running out and the demon hunter had to take quick action. But what action? What could they do? Even though the Demon Hunter Association was a big organization, important decisions required the Senate approval with complicated procedures. It was so frustrating in an emergency like this, but they didn't have many options.
'What should we do ...' thought Ruby.
Larry was aware of Ruby's confusion. It was very clear on her face ever since she attended the sudden meeting this morning, so he tried to lighten her mind. He tapped Ruby's shoulder.
"Cheer up. Look on the positive side. There are no casualties from this incident," he said. It was a miracle that there was not a single victim in this incident, considering how powerful their opponent was. Although the association had announced that they were developing a new device that would allow them to fly to fight the demons, it wasn't complete yet.
To Larry's surprise, Ruby grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly. She turned to Larry with her murderous smile. Her eyes filled with killing intent. Larry's face turned pale even though he didn't know why. But from Ruby's strength, it looks like he had made a big mistake.
As Larry's hand opened the car door, Ruby's voice came from behind him.
"Of course ..." Her voice sounded like a death call to him. He turned to Ruby slowly with a pale face and could see a murderous smile had graced Ruby's lips.
Since he quickly sensed what was about to happen to him, he turned to Emma as he gave her a 'Please help me' gaze.
"Y-You should come with us, Emma. I believe they also need your report." His sweat of anxiety started to wet his palms. At least if Emma sat between them, she could protect him from Ruby.
"What are you talking about? Emma is still in her suspension period. She can't come with us to the headquarters," said Ruby in a sweet voice, but her killing intent was still clear from there.
Emma could only wave her hand and smiled awkwardly.
"Good luck." Well, this was inevitable for Larry and she also had no interest in being Larry's human shield.
"B-But ---" said Larry desperately, but Ruby stopped his words by pushing him into the car. Quickly, she entered it and closed the door. Panicking, Larry tried to get out from the other door, but Ruby held his hand tightly.
"Where are you going, Larry?" she said with a creepy smile.
Larry looked at her in horror.
"I-I'm sorry. I-I know I was wrong. B-But I really didn't know," he pleaded.
"It's okay, Larry. I understand, of course, I understand." Despite her words, she squeezed Larry's hand tighter and tighter. Then she turned to the chauffeur who could only look at them in confusion mixed with fear since he knew Ruby was angry.
"Take us to the headquarters and say nothing about what you will see," she said.
"O-Okay, miss." Then the chauffeur immediately started the car.
Ruby returned her gaze to Larry.
"And you, Larry. You should act like an obedient disciple," she said still with the same creepy smile. Her hands were cracked on each other.
Larry shook his head from side to side in fear. Since he knew Ruby would beat him up now, here.
"No ... Please. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry ... Aaaaaaaaa !!!!"
As the car moved away, Emma could only hear Larry's scream from it.
'I hope he's still alive tomorrow,' thought Emma.
