Chapter 722: The Pale King And The Lewd Prince
The Incubus System Chapter 712. The Pale King And The Lewd Prince
The portal closed behind us, and Luna, Yuffy, and I found ourselves in a dimly lit room. I instantly recognized it as Lord Damon's room in the royal mansion. The air was thick with the scent of sandalwood and incense, and the space was decked out with all sorts of luxurious stuff—just the kind of setting I'd expect from someone with his level of wealth and power.
Lord Damon was lying on the bed, looking weak. His usual strong presence was nowhere to be found. His face was pale, and he looked like he'd just gone through some serious health issues. Normally, his aura would fill the room like a blazing sun, but now it was barely there, flickering weakly.
I scanned the room, looking for Lilieth, but she was nowhere in sight. I figured she must be busy with something else, considering the chaos that had just gone down in the capital.
I stepped up to Lord Damon's bedside, my senses sharp. But my focus broke for a second when I noticed movement by the window.
I froze, my attention snapping toward the window that overlooked the courtyard. There was a sudden surge of energy out there. It was fast and intense, and I could tell right away that whoever or whatever was out there wasn't thrilled about my sudden appearance in the demon king's bedroom.
A blur of motion rushed toward the window, and I instinctively raised my hand, activating my Shadow Barrier skill. The dark energy formed just in time, and the creature slammed into it with a deafening crash. I could hear its claws scraping against the surface as it tried to break through, but the barrier held strong.
I turned toward the window, now fully in my demonic form. My eyes glowed bright red as I stared out at the courtyard. The creature—Kir was on the other side, standing in battle stance. His fur was bristling, and he bared his teeth at me, snarling.
But as soon as he saw me in my demonic form, his expression shifted to one of shock. He realized his mistake right away and immediately bowed in deep apology.
