The Incubus System Chapter 460. The Demon King's Absence II

There was nothing there but the door and the thick dusty floor beneath us. The walls and everything around us were made of strong stone which reminded me of the medieval era's castles. Our only light was some strange stones that glowed dimly in purple on both sides of the door.

"Just in case you want to know. This place is in the tower one's basement and can never be accessed by anyone except by using the Teleportation skill," he suddenly explained.

"You mean beneath the parking lot?" I made sure in case something bad happened and I couldn't access this place with my Teleportation skill.

"Yeah, around that location," he confirmed.

"Okay," I replied.

He reached out to the door.

"Caedos!" he ordered and the door opened by itself.

We entered the stone chamber. Every time we stepped on the stone floor, the sound of our footsteps echoed throughout the room. Huge pillars lined both sides of us.

My eyes fell on a portal that resembled a black hole at the end of the room. Two pillars made of black crystal were on either side.

We stopped in front of it. My eyes looked at it in amazement. I felt like I was looking at a portal in a sci-fi movie.

But then, I narrowed my eyes once I noticed some white dots in between that dark energy. The white dots flickered and moved rapidly from place to place. A few of them changed to other colors. Apart from that, I also saw a large gray dot that didn't change its position. I quickly caught what it was.

"This is where I can keep an eye on the border energy." He pointed at the colorful dots.

"As you can see, some demon lords are trying to destabilize the energy by using their power. That's the reason why the border is getting more and more unstable. Unfortunately, I can't detect who they are," he explained.

And I believed that gray dot was the big crack in Lightglen City.

"If you can keep an eye on them from here. Why don't you fix everything from here?" I asked in curiosity. It was more efficient than going from place to place and fixing the cracks up manually.

"As I said, it will drain my energy. Once I use my Dark Energy to close it, it will draw all my strength to cover all the cracks. That's why I need Lilieth to replace me for a few days if I have to do this," he explained.

"I can help you, ya know," I reminded him.

He turned to me and gave me a flat stare.

"Even I didn't let Lilieth do it. Let alone a newbie like you. Besides, don't you have another mission?" he reminded me.

I pressed my lips to his statement. I didn't know how bad this could be, but I expected for the worst. Besides, I also couldn't draw any conclusions before I saw how bad it was.

"I only ask you one thing. Take me to my room later," he reminded me. He had warned me before that he would collapse later.

"I understand."

He breathed in nervousness and stretched his arm forward. This was the first time I saw him that tense.

A second later, his dark power came out of his palm slowly. Over time the power that came out of his palm was getting bigger. I bet the portal sucked his power mercilessly.

His hand began to tremble as his energy came out. He gritted his teeth, holding back his pain. It was clear from his face even though he tried to cover it up.

"Should I help you?" I asked in worry even though he had warned me what was going to happen.

"I told you. Your job is keeping an eye on it," he refused firmly.

I pressed my lips to his answer.

Trying to distract myself, I turned to the portal and decided to concentrate on it. Little by little, the white dots turned into darkness just like the others, but not all of them. Likewise with the colorful dots. Except for the big gray dot. I felt like something was holding it back.

"Khhhh!" A grunt from his mouth made me turn to him.

"Dad!" I called him and raised my hand, intending to hold his body in reflex. He looked exhausted. Sweat dripped from his forehead to his chin. His face was pale and his breathing was heavy.

But he replied to me with a fierce glare.

"Stay away. Just observe!" he roared.

Swallowing my annoyance, I lowered my hand and fell silent. Although I hated this, I knew he needed me to look after these towers and capital during his absence. If both of us collapsed, this place would be in danger. One of us had to stay alert.

As I expected, after a few minutes, he collapsed. Reflexively, I caught his body before he hit the floor.

As his body landed on my arms, I was shocked. His body was so light and I couldn't feel the energy inside him. The heavy atmosphere around him also disappeared. Yet... The white dots hadn't disappeared completely even though they had been reduced considerably.

'This is crazy...' He was a demon king but he couldn't fix the border perfectly. Somehow I could understand how tough the task was. If we combined our strengths we might be able to cover it, but that would only leave the capital unguarded. Not to mention if other enemies knew it they would use this opportunity to attack him. So what I had to do was end this war first before I could help him.

I used my Teleportation skill to take us back to the mansion. To his chamber to be exact.

After laying him on the bed, I took a small towel from near the bathroom and wiped his sweat.

"Thank you for your work, dad. I'll take over your duties for a while. Please rest well," I muttered as I used my Camouflage skill, turning myself into him and placing the towel on the side table.
