The Incubus System Chapter 427. Memories of The Nephilim's Painful Past I
"Take it and come back here after you get it. Its power will probably give you a side effect." Yeah, that was another warning.
"Does that mean more pain?" I concluded.
"Power is pain, Damian. You have to get used to it."
I sighed. Even though I hated this, I knew I needed it. But, my body-- which was still aching, refused to do so.
'Maybe that's why people say no pain no gain.'
'Raise Teleportation by 1 point.'
[Teleportation lv 1 (Requires 2 DP) - You can teleport yourself to a spot you want within 100 Meters. Just concentrate or imagine where you are going.]
I knew I could fly there, but I didn't want to take a risk going through that thick dark miasma. Who knew if they would pull me?
I concentrated on where the sword was.
'Teleportation!'
A dark aura enveloped me. Just like when Lord Damon teleported me the first time, I could feel a force dragging my body. The difference was I knew where I was going. When the dark aura disappeared, the swords were already in front of me.
Their screams were getting louder and louder in my head.
'Master is back... Take us... Master... Take us with you...'
As Lord Damon said, I placed my hand on the black sword handle and took my stance before I pulled it. I had to be careful since I didn't want to slip off.
I thought it would be difficult. At least, in the movie, the hero needed to use all of his strength to pull his glorious sword. But unexpectedly, I could pull it easily.
[Nightmare has been equipped]

'That's too easy,' I was confused.
But Lord Damon's voice made me turn to him.
"Damian, come back here! Now!" he shouted. I could catch a trace of panic in his voice.
I did what he said and teleported myself back to him. I could guess he was afraid I slipped from there and fell into the black miasma. But what happened next was beyond my expectations. As soon as I got near him, the incredible pain stabbed my chest.
Once again, I screamed out loud as a surge of emotion entered my head. Resentment, pain, sadness, anger, hatred, all these negative emotions pierced my heart and head. It was like forcing me to swallow something I didn't want and I couldn't stop it.
I released my sword and fell to my knees. Even if the sword turned into a dark aura, I knew it didn't go away. Just like the armor, it had become a part of me.
The pain that I felt before was physical pain so I could endure it. But this... This struck me mentally.
My hands pounded on my head, trying to stop the pain in frustration, but I couldn't. Instead, Lord Damon tied me up by using his Dark Bound.
"Endure it, Damian. It will go soon," he said worriedly.
But, for how long?
I didn't remember how long I screamed. It was only a few seconds yet it felt like forever. The moment when the pain disappeared, I collapsed to the ground.
-----
The noise woke me up. It was a male and female voice. Enduring the pain in my head, I forced myself to open my eyes and stand up. I stared at the unfamiliar scenery around me. Everything around me looked blurry, just like a blurred movie. But I knew I was in an old small house. Not only that, but I also realized that my body was transparent.
"Get out of here! Now!" said the man. I looked at him. Even though I could only see his face vaguely, he should have a similar face to mine and Lord Damon.
"They came for me. You are the one who must go. Take Erebus with you," said the woman. Just like the man, her face was also blurry. But she looked like Puriel.
Near them, a little boy with the same hair as me looked scared and confused.
It didn't take me long to realize what had happened.
'Oh, I got it. I am in Erebus' memory.' I just picked up his sword so I was pretty sure the emotion that entered my head had something to do with his past. I also immediately realized who the man and woman were.
Since I was transparent, I couldn't do anything but watch them.
"Don't make me repeat myself," Xenos roared. His body changed into his original form. His demon lord form. His form was kinda similar to me and Lord Damon.
Gabrielle Gasped.
"You..."
Despite his terrifying form, Xenos' gaze softened. His hand touched Gabrielle's face.
"I love you, Gabrielle... I won't let anyone take you and Erebus from me."
The sadness pierced my chest. I turned to Erebus who was looking at his parents in sorrow. It seemed that... even though I was just an outsider, I could feel Erebus' emotions.
When I returned my gaze to Xenos and Gabrielle, the scenery around me changed. This time I was at the edge of a forest. A village was not far from where I was.
Erebus ran as fast as he could, avoiding the teenagers who were chasing him. He was much older now, maybe around 7 to 8 years old. Some of them threw stones at him.
"Go away you disgusting demon!" they shouted.
"I'm not a demon!" sobbed Erebus. Quickly, he hid himself behind a big tree, avoiding the stones. Desperately, he covered his head with a shabby hood to hide his pair of little horns.
"I'm not a demon... I'm a human," he sobbed. His tears filled his face.
"Mom... Dad... Where are you?"
I was stunned. This time not only his emotions, but my emotions also filled me. I felt like... I saw my former self in him. When I turned into an incubus.
Unconsciously, I extended my hand to him, trying to touch his head but the scenery around me changed again.
I was in an open field in the middle of a medieval village. It was filled with angry-looking people. Their hands carried sharp weapons and some of them dragged Erebus. He struggled and screamed with all his might, but with his small body, there wasn't much he could do.
"Kill him! Kill him! Kill the demon!" they shouted angrily.
"I'm not a demon, I swear! I didn't do anything!" he begged.
"Liar! Cut his horns! Torture him to death!" The others shouted.
They put their head on a chopped tree and carried an ax.
My heart was beating fast. My eyes widened. Fear filled me. I shuddered in horror as I immediately realized what they wanted to do once they swung the ax to his horns.
