Chapter 714: Powerless
The Incubus System Chapter 704. Powerless
We made our way toward a seemingly empty building. As we approached, I could see the broken windows and boarded-up doors. It was clear that no one had been here for years, and yet he seemed to know exactly where he was going.
He pushed open the door with a loud creak, and we stepped inside. The air was musty, filled with the scent of mold and decay. The darkness of the room seemed to swallow us whole, and I was grateful for the heightened senses that allowed me to navigate the space.
Then he led me to a corner of the room, where he carefully laid my body down and leaned me against the wall. I could feel the rough texture of the bricks against my back as I settled into the uncomfortable position.
Once I was settled, he backed away from me, creating a distance between us. His eyes were fixed on me, studying my every move. I could sense his apprehension, his fear that I might lash out in my weakened state.
"So... you should be able to regenerate or something, right? Or maybe your friends will come back to pick you up?" he asked hesitantly. His voice was laced with doubt as if he didn't believe his own words.
His guess was right. But in my weakened state, I knew it would take time for my powers to kick in and since I couldn't use my skill, I couldn't use my Soul Siphon to any demon nearby either. And there was always the risk that my subordinates wouldn't find me in time.
"Can I leave you now?" he asked again. His eyes were fixed on me, studying my every move and his fear seeped into his tone.
"Yes," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. I knew the risk of being left alone in this state, but it was a risk I was willing to take. I could always change back to my human form and blend in with the surroundings, pretending to be one of the victims, in case the demon hunters found me before my subordinates did.
