Chapter 41.Wrath

The Incubus System chapter 41.Wrath

It was 10.57 PM when I could smell the faintly stink stench accompanied by an announcement in a red box in front of me.

[!!! Warning !!! ]

[Other Demons detected!]

Meanwhile, Emma's demon compass also showed the same thing.

"Get ready. There are some demons near us."

I responded with a simple nod. My eyes are still filled with emotions, even though I've tried to calm myself but my anger and sadness still over me right now.

Our feet walked to a dark alley near us as we pressed our back against a building's wall next to it and peeked slowly.

[Some demons have been found.]

Five teenagers gathered like they were waiting for something. Occasionally they whisper, giggling.

I quickly used my observation skills.

'Observation.'

[Observation skill succeeded.]

[Name: Shadow Imp]

[Level 6]

[Race: Demon]

[HP: 169/169]

[DP: 53/53]

[Skills: Venom Bite lv 2]

[Emotion: Relaxed]

[Condition: Normal]

"Be careful. My compass indicates that they are stronger than our enemy yesterday," Emma whispered.

I just replied with another nod, we stepped out of our hiding place and walked towards them. When I saw them in front of my eyes, suddenly my anger burned me as I remembered my father's corpse's condition in the hospital. Terrible questions filled my mind, did they torture him before killing him? Or did they almost eat him alive as they did to me a few days ago?

They turned their gaze to us. "Hey! What do you want ?!" one of them shouted.

"We will attack together on the count of three," Emma whispered again.

I did not answer her but immediately lunged and threw my double kick at the head of one of them.

[Critical hit!]

[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 153 HP. ]

[Critical hit!]

[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 148 HP. ]

The teen's body fell and turned to ashes. While Emma stunned in shock.

I know my actions are reckless but a wave of huge anger devoured me, my mind was not clear, somehow I wanted to get this anger out of me. What's in my mind now is killing the demons that have taken my father from me and Celia!

The other Shadow Imps turned to their true form. Two long horns grew above their heads, their eyes turned completely white, their ears and nose extended, sharp teeth and claws grew on their bodies, and coarse black feathers covered their hands.

Without wasting time, I threw my fist at the other's head, he raised his hand, trying to hold back my attack but my movements were much faster than his.

[Critical hit!]

[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 148 HP. ]

"Arggg!" he screamed in pain. Then I pulled his hand and slammed him to the ground.

[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 45 HP. ]

A Shadow Imp swung its claws at me. I caught his hand and threw him at the others.

[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 42 HP. ]

[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 45 HP. ]

My feet moved forward, stepping on his chest.

[Critical hit!]

[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 148 HP. ]

Then I turned and kicked the other's head.

[Critical hit!]

[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 150 HP. ]

The Shadow Imp's bodies turned to ash.

A movement behind me, I turned around and a Shadow Imp pounced at me with his mouth wide open, showing his sharp teeth clearly. Unable to escape, I raised my hand to block his attack. He almost bit me, but a white chain bound him and pulled him away from me. The Shadow Imp fell to the ground.

I glanced at Emma and saw the white chain come out of her palm. Without wasting any chance, I returned my attention to the Shadow Imp and stomped on his head twice.

[Critical hit!]

[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 154 HP. ]

[Critical hit!]

[You have hit a Shadow Imp for 150 HP. ]

In an instant, his body turned to ashes.

*Ting!*

[All enemies have been defeated!]

[You just got a penta kill!]

[Level Up!]

[You are now Level 14.]

[You have 13 unused stat points.]

[You have 3 unused skill points.]

"Thank you for helping me," I said, turning my attention to Emma, while she approached me with a displeased face and threw a slap on my cheek.

[You have taken 1 physical damage.]

Standing in silence, even though she didn't say why she suddenly slapped me but I knew it was my fault. What I just did is a reckless and dangerous act.

"I don't want to take my friend's body home, so don't be stupid," she said with a trembling voice.

My eyes glanced at her and realized even though her face looked displeased but her eyes were filled with tears and fear.

"I promise I won't repeat again." I realized I was carried away with my anger after knowing the truth about my father's death.

She had just sighed after seeing my regret but suddenly another announcement in a red box appeared in front of me.

[!!! Warning !!! ]

[Another Demon detected!]

I gasped when a stink stench pierced my nose that indicated its presence was close to us. My hand grabbed her hand and my eyes swept around us trying to find the demon's whereabouts.

"Check your demon compass!" I said.

Emma had just raised her hand to examine her compass, but a large shadow jumped at us. With alacrity, I pulled her behind me to avoid it. My hand lifted and caught two claws that stopped in front of my face at the last moment. In front of me, a large Imp grinned frightfully, his head, body, hands and legs covered by hard skin like scales. 'Observation.'

[Observation skill succeeded.]

[Name: Chaos Imp]

[Level 10]

[Race: Demon]

[HP: 213/213]

[DP: 78/78]

[Skills: Venom Claw lv 3]

[Emotion: Excited]

[Condition: Normal]

"Tsk!" I clicked my tongue in annoyance. This Imp is much stronger than before and I can't use my full power because of Emma.

'Then I'll aim for his critical points.'

A white chain tied him up, I quickly retreated to make a distance and threw my kick at his chest.

[You have hit a Chaos Imp for 2 HP. ]

'What ?!' My eyes widened in surprise at the amount of damage I gave him.

I changed my attack points and threw my double kick at his head.

[You have hit a Chaos Imp for 3 HP. ]

[You have hit a Chaos Imp for 2 HP. ]

Seeing that my damage did not change, I concluded this is because of the strange scales that protected his body.

"Grrraaaahhhhh!" He roared as he struggled to escape from Emma's holy chain. While she continued to hold his movements desperately.

'I must find his weakness.' The only thing that crossed my head was to raise my observation skill.

'Raise observation skill by 1 point.'

[Your Observation skill is level 4.]

[Weakness and Talent have been added.]

'Observation.'

[Observation skill succeeded.]

[Name: Chaos Imp]

[Level 10]

[Race: Demon]

[HP: 206/213]

[DP: 78/78]

[Skills: Venom Claw lv 3]

[Emotion: Rage]

[Condition: Normal]

[Weakness: Back of the neck]

[Talent: Tough Skin.]

"What are you waiting for? Attack him!" Emma shouted.

Quickly, I turned behind him and threw my kick behind his neck.

[Critical hit!]

[You have hit a Chaos Imp for 151 HP. ]

"Grrraaaahhhhh!" He screamed in pain while a grin appeared on my face when my attack succeeded. As I was about to finish him, the imp raged and broke free from Emma's holy chain.

Emma fell while the Chaos Imp jumped backwards to avoid my kick. I had just glanced at Emma to make sure she was fine, but the imp rushed and swung his claws repeatedly towards me. Deftly, I avoided his attacks as I waited for my chance. Both of his claws swung, my eyes caught all his movements perfectly and caught his claws with both of my hands, stopping his attack. Strange coloured liquid dripped from his sharp fingernails flowing between my fingers.

"Attack the back of his neck!" I shouted.

Emma quickly reached out her hand towards the back of the imp's neck. A lance that glowed in white came out of her palm and shot behind the imp's neck. Meanwhile, the imp tried to get away from me but I held his hand tightly, finally he kicked me. Even though I saw it, but I couldn't avoid it, because if I did I needed to release my hand from him.

The kick landed on my stomach.

[You have taken 38 physical damage.]

At the same time, Emma's Mana Strike hit him.

[Critical hit!]

[The Chaos Imp has taken 53 magical damage.]

In an instant, the Chaos Imp turned to ash.

*Ting!*

[The enemy has been defeated!]

[You gained EXP!]

I staggered backwards, grimacing in pain, holding back the pain that was piercing me as nausea pierced my stomach.

Emma ran over and held my hand to support me.

"Are you alright?" she asked worried.

"I'm fine," I replied, leaning my back against the wall.

"We need to go to the clinic to examine your wound."

"It's okay. I'm fine," I replied quickly. I couldn't possibly let the doctor examine me, because even though my appearance was still human, I could feel a drastic change in me since I became a demon. Besides I can heal myself with my dark healing skills.

I returned to my feet and released her hand from me, showing that I was fine.

"Let's go."
