Chapter 228: A Demon with Two Identities

The Incubus System Chapter 228. A Demon with Two Identities

"Camila..." I said in a gentle voice, very different from my previous voice. My gaze shifted from Camila, Olivia and Pearl who were looking at me with the same gaze. My guilt and fear gripped my heart. Even though my fear wasn't as bad as when Celia discovered my identity. That didn't mean I wasn't afraid of losing them. Each one of them had a special place in my heart and had already taken a role in my life, all of them were important to me. Moreover, I had to explain to three of my partners at once now and I didn't know if it would be as smooth as before or not. Still... I knew I had to do it, I didn't want to lie to them anymore. Besides, sooner or later I had to tell them.

Secretly, I took a deep breath and exhaled to calm myself down before moving my feet towards them. One of my hands pressed against the wound on my shoulder to prevent my blood from coming out of it. At the same time, I checked my remaining DP.

[DP: 70/500]

Just what I predicted, I didn't have much DP left, but it was still enough to heal myself without triggering my Incubus Rage. As I stepped, I used my Dark Healing.

I lowered my hand that was covering my wound as my dark aura accompanied by hissing sound healed it. Meanwhile, they gasped in shock and I could see the fear on their faces as the wound on my shoulder suddenly disappeared without a trace. Even Olivia didn't hesitate to point her white lance at me with a shaking hand.

My steps stopped. Even though I knew I could dodge her white lance easily, somehow seeing someone who had been crying in my arms raised her weapon at me, made me sad.ediately, Emma grabbed Olivia's hand and tried to lower it, but Olivia still pointed her lance at me.

"He's not our enemy. He has protected us," said Emma, trying to remind her.

Unfortunately, her fear made Olivia unable to accept Emma's words.

"But he's a demon! What if he also wants to hurt us?!" said Olivia. Her eyes remained fixed on me. Her fear was evident in her tone of voice. Emma's hand tried to lower Olivia's again but Olivia kept raising her hand and pointed her lance at me. I was speechless. But they had just gone through a horrific incident that they would never forget for the rest of their lives, so I could understand their fear and worry.

Still, I was determined to tell them everything. I clenched my hands and moved my feet again. My horns, wings and tail disappeared as I deactivated my Demonic Form. This way I hoped their fear would lessen. Unfortunately no, Olivia didn't lower her lance.

"Olivia, please stop it," pleaded Emma. Her hand tried to lower Olivia's hand once again, but Olivia didn't budge. I could see the sadness in her eyes. Of course... Who wouldn't be sad to see her best friend try to kill her lover? Moreover, she knew that Olivia also loved me, it was just... Olivia didn't recognize me since I was Damian now.

Olivia answered Emma's plea with other things.

She slowly turned her head to face me, revealing her eyes that were red from holding back her tears.

"You were a human?" she repeated my words in disbelief.

"Please let me explain everything. About me, about my dual identity---" I shifted my gaze to Camila and Pearl who could only be silent in shock.

"---and about this tangled relationship." Then I returned my gaze to Olivia.

"Could you give me a chance to explain it?"

She was silent again, I could only hear her panting breath. After a while, she released her hand from me.

"Tell me," she said.

I was just about to open my mouth, but Pearl stopped me.

"Wait!" Her voice turned my gaze to her. Pearl stood up with difficulty, her hand holding on to the wall behind her to help her get back on her feet, proving what I said also hit her hard. Unlike before, she looked at me with determination, though her fear was clear from her gaze.

"Since you want to tell us everything. Do you mind if I use my tentacles to make sure you tell the truth?"

"I don't mind," I replied. I could understand her request since with what they had just been through, of course, she was sceptical of anything that related to the demon.

After my answer, she approached me. While Olivia backed away to make a way for her. Pearl stopped not far from me and her legs turned into tentacles. Those tentacles started to approach me, but in contrast to her usual tentacles' movement, this time her tentacles moved slower and filled with clear doubts. As her tentacles started to stick onto my skin and slowly slithered like a bunch of snakes crawling on my body, I opened my arms slightly, giving her more access to touch my body. My eyes fixed at her. I knew she was afraid of me. Strangely, although she was so hesitant to touch me, she forced herself to do it.

"Pearl... If I wanted to hurt you, I would have done it since the first time we met," I said.

"I know..." said Pearl with her eyes quivering in fear, yet her tentacles kept creeping up my body and covering it, especially my wrists, my neck and my chest.

"Your heart beat and your blood flow have told me that you have never meant anything bad to me or anyone. And I know my tentacles are never wrong. Therefore... Please tell us everything," she added. Her voice sounded like a plea.

"I will."
