Chapter 711: Encounter
The Incubus System Chapter 701. Encounter
But our conversation had to be interrupted, the urgency breaking through our thoughts like a sudden thunderclap. "Sarael! New wave!" Andrew shouted.
Sarael and I turned to face Andrew. But rather than him, my sight caught something else.
My eyes scanned the horizon in search of any sign of danger. And then I saw them... a horde of demons coming from a distance, their forms a writhing mass of darkness that seemed to stretch out across the sky like a malignant cloud.
They came like a swarm of ants detecting sugar, their movements were coordinated and precise as they made their way toward us fiercely. Their numbers were so great that they seemed almost unstoppable. Three other demon generals stood by in the front line, their expressions set in grim determination as they prepared to face the oncoming horde.
Sarael turned around. I could see the fierce determination etched onto his face before his face completely facing the horde. His eyes were bright with an inner fire that spoke of fierce loyalty to his cause.
"We will handle them," he said with a confidence that was both reassuring and awe-inspiring. "Just concentrate on your job," he added, his voice taking on a more emphatic tone. "Your Highness," he said, with an emphasis on my title that left no room for doubt about his respect for me. I knew he mentioned my status on purpose, to remind me that I am Lord Damon and Lord Erebus' descendant. Reminded me of my responsibilities.
And then, just as he finished speaking, his hand was raised and a skull in his hand glowed with an eerie green light. I knew that this was a sign that he was ready to summon his undead army once again.
"You don't have to remind me," I retorted in a low voice. With a flick of my wings, I backed away from the impending battle, from the crack. My mind focused solely on my task. I knew that I had to act quickly to cover up the crack before it was too late.
