Chapter 854: Real Or Not?
The Incubus System Chapter 844. Real Or Not?
I closed the bedroom door behind me and with a snap of my fingers, I summoned my portal.
Stepping through it, in an instant, I found myself in the alley nearby to our usual meeting spot.
The distant sounds of traffic and the city's constant hum formed the backdrop to my arrival. Adjusting my stride, I made my way down the alley.
After I entered the coffee shop, the soothing aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped me as I made my way to the counter to place an order. A quick decision led me to choose my usual, a latte to kickstart the conversation.
With my order secured, I settled at a vacant table, my mind swirling with the dream. The rhythmic hum of conversation and the occasional clinking of coffee cups provided comforting background noise.
I couldn't help but ponder the implications. If the colossal eye made another appearance, it would signify the dream was real, but somehow my system couldn't detect it.
My thoughts then shifted to the colossal eye's cryptic warning of calamity.
Puzzled, I tried to reconcile this prediction with my own understanding. Lord Damon had never hinted at such a possibility, yet the warning lingered.
'Wait... maybe that's because Erebus once used his soul to blow up the border and create the crack,' I thought, the realization hitting me like a sudden revelation. The memory of Erebus's reckless act resurfaced.
In the colossal eye's view, perhaps the line between Erebus's malevolence and my existence had blurred. The dark stain of Erebus's actions had inadvertently tainted my identity, making me a potential source of calamity in the eye's gaze.
A wry smile played on my lips. I contemplated the irony. Erebus, with his reckless ambitions, had inadvertently cast a shadow on my reputation.
The soft chime from the counter signaled the arrival of my latte. The waiter, a young man with a friendly demeanor, approached my table with a tray cradling the steaming cup.
The rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, momentarily distracting me from the lingering thoughts of the colossal eye.
"Latte for Ethan," the waiter announced, breaking from the usual routine of discreetly calling out names.
I offered a nod of gratitude as he carefully placed the latte on the table. "Thanks," I said, a genuine appreciation in my tone. The waiter reciprocated with a small, understanding smile before retreating to attend to other patrons.
The fragrant swirl of freshly brewed coffee enveloped me. I took a leisurely sip of the latte.
My attention wandered to the window beside me, where the bustling street outside. And then, a familiar figure came into view.
Larry approached the coffee shop. His left leg clearly wounded due the recent battle. Despite the evident strain, a beaming smile graced his face.
Waving enthusiastically, Larry made his way inside. His entrance injected a burst of energy into the coffee shop, the atmosphere shifting with his arrival.
Without awaiting my response, he hastened toward my table, his grin undiminished.
Larry's grin widened as he settled into the chair, a noticeable wince accompanying the motion.
The marks of his recent skirmish were etched on his features.
"Yo! Glad to see you safe and sound," he exclaimed, his happiness infectious.
"That should be my line," I responded with a huff. My eyes lingered on the visible signs of his struggle. "What happened to you? Have you got into a fight?" I inquired.
It was painful for me since I knew what happened to him yet I couldn't tell him directly.
Larry... He deserved to know the truth. Yet, revealing my status as the great demon, a prince of darkness, could unleash consequences upon him.
On the other hand, I was in a dilemma. Telling him my identity could put him in danger. Demons and humans could target him. Unlike my partners or servants where my system could tell me when they were in danger. There was no announcement that could warn me in case he was in danger.
