The Incubus System Chapter 703. How Could You Be So Naive?
Larry's PoV
Larry stood there, lost in thought, a sudden voice from his Demon Compass interrupted his reverie.
"Attention all demon hunters in the battle area," the voice crackled through the Compass. "Reinforcements have arrived and we need all available hunters to join the fight immediately. I repeat all available hunters are to join the fight."
He knew that he had to respond to the call, even though he was still reeling from his encounter with the strange demon.
Quickly, Larry brushed off the dirt from his clothes as he hurried out of the building, his eyes filled with determination. He knew that he had to put his encounter with the mysterious demon behind him and focus on the task at hand.
Oddly, he felt a sudden sense of clarity wash over him. The pain in his chest seemed to dissipate, and the heavy atmosphere that had been weighing him down felt lighter. He couldn't explain it.
Larry took a deep breath and set off toward the street once again.
As soon as Larry emerged from the building, he looked up at the sky, half-expecting to see the massive crack that had appeared before. He had prepared himself for the worst, imagining a gaping hole in the sky that could easily swallow ten commercial airplanes at once. But to his surprise, he saw nothing. The crack was nowhere to be found, and the sky above him was clear and unbroken.
He shook his head in disbelief, wondering if he had imagined the whole thing. But he knew that couldn't be the case. He had seen the crack with his own eyes, and he had felt its destructive power. Yet now it was gone, replaced by the familiar night sky.Instead, he found another thing.
His attention was drawn to a demon that had just landed on the ground. The demon was different from the others he had seen before - there was something about his gallant and intimidating figure that set him apart.
"The great demon…" Larry muttered unconsciously.
That made the great demon turn towards him. Their eyes met.
Larry's heart beat faster. He stared at the great demon, his eyes focused on the demon's body. He could see the exhaustion in his eyes and the way his body trembled ever so slightly. It was clear that the demon had just been through a great ordeal, and Larry couldn't help but wonder what it was.
Suddenly, it dawned on him - the demon had closed the crack in the sky. The demon had saved their world from destruction.
His mind raced with conflicting thoughts. He knew that this was his chance to defeat the demon and become a legendary hero - a hero whose name would be remembered for generations to come. But at the same time, he couldn't bring himself to harm the demon.
He remembered all the times the great demon had helped him when he had sent his subordinates to treat him. Larry knew that this demon was different from the others.
Larry could feel the decision he had to make, the gravity of the moment. He knew that whatever he did next would determine the course of his life and that he would have to live with the consequences for the rest of his days.
Still… Instead of killing him, Larry decided to do something he would probably regret for the rest of his life.

Ethan's PoV
We just stood there like a statue for a while. I knew I should have opened my portal to escape and I tried, but I couldn't. Even though my DP still had 12% remaining, an announcement in the red box kept appearing in front of me.
[Warning!]
[You are temporarily paralyzed due to major Demonic Power loss!]
[You are in extremely exhausted condition! You will collapse anytime soon!]
Yes, I couldn't run away, use my skills, or even move from here. While my pets and the others were busy distracting the demon hunters who had just arrived.
But then Larry's gaze changed.
With a sense of urgency, Larry approached me, his footsteps echoing off the abandoned street. I struggled to lift my head, my eyes squinting as my sight was getting blurred. I stumbled, my wings flailing as I tried to find my balance, but Larry held me steady. He supported my almost-collapsed body with his own.
Without a word, he placed his hand on my shoulder, his grip firm and reassuring. I winced as he lifted my arm, wrapping it around his shoulder, and suddenly, I was up on my feet again. With all his might, he brought me towards a building not far from where we stood.
I couldn't believe it. Larry was helping me. I was speechless, my mind racing as I tried to make sense of the situation.
"We should hide or my friends will find you," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. I could hear the tension in his voice, feel the tremble in his body, and sense the rapid beating of his heart. I was still in my demon lord form, after all, and my aura must have been overpowering.
I turned to him and frowned. "Why are you helping me?" I asked in my demonic voice, my eyes scanning his features. Even though my vision was blurry, I could sense the sincerity in his words.
He took a deep breath before answering. "Because you've helped me several times before, and I know I'm weak compared to you. So, this is my only chance to pay you back," he admitted, his eyes never leaving mine.
A scoff escaped my mouth, the sound deep and rumbling, as I looked at the man who stood beside me. "How could you be so naive?" I growled, my voice heavy with the weight of my demonic form. "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you? Or eat you?" I asked, my eyes narrowing as I stared at him.
Despite my harsh words, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude toward him. He was the type of person who knew how to return favors, who always remembered every other person's kindness and repaid it when he had the opportunity to do so.
"I am," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "But I know you won't be able to do it now. Not in this state," he said, his eyes meeting mine with a calm determination.
'Well, he is right,' I thought. It was rare to hear good common sense from him. Well, helping a demon wasn't a good decision for a demon hunter though.
