The Incubus System Chapter 568. Splein, The City of Wrath.
Another week had passed, the day of celebration had arrived and my vacation was running low so I needed to finish all my business in the dark dimension before I returned to the human world.
In the future, I planned to go back and forth between the two worlds so I could carry out my duties with my dual identity. Letos' plan had been destroyed, and Lord Damon and I had also managed to clean up the rebels secretly, so it should be safe for me to go back and forth. After all, I had managed to handle all the affairs in the lust city, thanks to my Servant's Sigil skill and Lord Damon's clarification.
I knew my human identity wasn't very useful to me anymore. Even if I graduate with the best grades, I wouldn't be able to enjoy my life like an ordinary person. I had more important duties and responsibilities than that. For the human world, my power and strength put me in the same place as Erebus in the past. Even though I grew up and spent most of my time in the human world, I was not part of them anymore.
Well, a third of me was still a part of them but I was not sure they would accept me. Regardless of all these changes, I was grateful for what I had. Because with all of this I could change a lot of things and do what I couldn't do before.
During that week, I hadn't received any news from the runaway demon lords. I had sent spies to many places and used my skills to infiltrate difficult places, but still, I hadn't gotten any information. Likewise, Nefaris, Lord Damon, Lilieth, and my generals, all of them helped me but they got nothing. It was so frustrating, so my only hope was this Azrael guy. Maybe he knew a thing or two about them.
According to Lilieth and Lord Damon, he was a nice demon. At least he never rebelled or put Lord Damon in a difficult position even though he was a senior. But that didn't mean I was going to let my guard down. He could have taken the side of those traitors and decided to set me up with the invitation.
It was just a precaution since if that was what he wanted, then he should have invited me alone. The fact that he invited Nefaris and Lord Damon proved that for him this was an ordinary celebration event. He didn't seem to have any clue as to what had happened since he had been too busy with his city's battle royale.
The red moon in the sky of Splein City was getting higher when a portal opened in the middle of an empty street not far from the palace. A second later, a black luxury car came from inside. It was Cerberus with me and Lord Damon in it. No other cars followed us since Lord Damon was planning to surprise Azrael, so a tight escort would only create more suspicion.
Splein City itself was almost similar to the capital. It's just a little smaller. The civilization and buildings were kinda similar. The difference was, this city had much more battle arenas than the capital and most of them were packed with demons as if fighting was their only entertainment. I could even see a long queue at one of them.
Well, this was the Wrath City after all. So fighting was a common thing here since it was the only way to vent the emotions inside someone. Surprisingly, rather than anger, what I got from the demons' expressions was enjoyment. This was indeed a weird and interesting city.
Unlike a welcome when I first arrived at Licheri, there was no one on the streets around us except the officers escorting us. It seemed the civilians cared more about the battle than anything else. I only caught some of them turning their heads as our car passed and that was it.
Not far ahead, I could see an elegant antique-looking palace. Yes, a palace not a mansion or city hall. Azrael was an old demon so he liked some antique touches in his modern city. That was the only difference between this city and the capital.
"You know, I'm surprised you decided to hide your Demonic Power and miss your Grand Entrance. It's not like you," I asked Lord Damon who was sitting beside me without taking my eyes off the window. Previously, Lord Damon was hesitant about whether he would cover his Demonic Aura with the armor or not, since hiding it meant he would have missed his usual grand entrance.
"I did this for my grand entrance. I'm sure he wouldn't expect me to attend his invitation," said Lord Damon. His excitement was evident from the tone of his voice. Even his cold face couldn't cover it.
Some may doubt his identity later, including Azrael. But he planned to deactivate the armor later and reveal his real Demonic Aura. He even asked me to do the same. So he was kinda making a double grand entrance for us. He was sure it would be epic.
It was kinda cringing for me and a bit childish I could say. But since I didn't want to mess up his mood again, I simply agreed. I hoped this replaced what happened in my last duel with Letos.
I glanced at him and smiled once I caught the eagerness on his face.
"You look impatient," I teased.
"As I said, he is my old friend and I haven't seen him for a long time. It can't be helped," he reasoned. I bet it was because this was the first time he was able to go undercover. The armor itself was a prototype and more powerful than my first armor, but since it concentrated on covering the Demonic Aura, it didn't have any effect other than that. The good news, it was strong enough to cover his massive demonic aura.
"Remember we have to do it right. Okay?" he reminded me once he noticed my glance.
"Got it," I replied.
