Chapter 715: You Can't Move, But You Can Erect, Right?
The Incubus System Chapter 705. You Can't Move, But You Can Erect, Right?
"Ethan, Ethan, are you okay?" It was Emma's voice, filled with worry and concern.
Slowly, I turned my head towards her, struggling to make out her features in the dim light.
"No," I managed to croak out, my voice barely audible. My entire body felt heavy and unresponsive as if it were made of lead.
As if in response to my distress, Mrs. Clea appeared beside Emma, her expression equally concerned. "What happened?" she demanded, her voice sharp and commanding. "Did another demon lord escape from that crack?"
I couldn't help but feel a small flicker of annoyance at her words. Of course, she would be more concerned about the potential threat to the city than a single demon like me. But then, that was her job as the demon hunter association's chairwoman.
"I used too much power to close the crack," I explained, my voice barely above a whisper. Even the act of speaking seemed to take all my strength.
Mrs. Clea's eyes widened as she processed my words, and I could see the gears turning in her head as she calculated the possible consequences of my actions. As the chairwoman of the demon hunter association, it was her job to keep the city safe from any and all demon threats. And here I was, a demon lord, practically powerless and unable to defend myself.
"But you can regenerate, right?" she asked urgently, her voice full of emphasis.
