The Incubus System Chapter 534. Two Royal Incubi I
Ethan's PoV
"Long time no see, Letos," I greeted. My eyes were fixed on Letos staring at him with a gentle gaze even though what I felt was very different from what I showed. Rage overtook my heart. My adrenaline was racing in my veins. There was a part of me that screams to kill him, avenge for what happened to me in the past.
Hatred filled my mind. I felt like I wanted to storm at him and slash him with my sword. But I held myself back. Since Nefaris and I managed to trick him to this point, I wanted to finish him in one hit. So I decided to keep pretending to be Erebus until he was within my range.
Still, I had to be careful of him since the fact that he let out his Deathraze showed that he didn't trust me completely. Luckily I was pretty confident with my acting since I had seen a lot of Erebus memories. I knew how lonely he was. I knew the pain in his heart, his hopes, and his expressions. Even though I didn't have much memory about Letos, I just needed to act like Erebus.
"Lord Erebus, is it really you?" he asked again. Even though his weapon was still covering his hands, his relaxed steps and his trembling voice showed that he had started to trust me. I bet his frustration for an ally played a good part in this. Well, Erebus had helped him once when no one cared about him. So Letos saw him as a hero and that image would never disappear from his memory.
"It's me, Letos. Who else?" I answered. My hand released my weapon, turning my black sword into black smoke, showing that I didn't want to fight him.
Seeing I had taken down my guard, he also canceled his Deathraze.
But even if he started to show his trust, I had to keep an eye on him. One wrong movement, I was the one who would die.

His HP was twice mine even though I got a lot of VIT points from my daily quest. Besides that, he had the same ultimate attack as me and three high-level skills.
He stopped two meters in front of me and smiled at me.
"My Lord… Lord Erebus, you are still alive," Letos said in a stammering voice. His disbelief was clear from the tone of his voice.
"I won't die that easily," I said confidently.
"You're back..." he added in the same tone. His emotions filled his heart. A happy smile graced his lips. I couldn't believe a cunning demon like him could smile like that. Or maybe… was this also a fake?
"I am…" I trod over to him and opened my arms as if I wanted to hug him. A smile on my face also said how happy I was.
Just like me, he also greeted me by opening his arms. After he was close enough, I reshaped my sword in my hand and used my skill on him.
'Telekinesis!' My invisible power grabbed his body, limiting his movement. At the same time, I swung my sword at him. That way, I hoped I could give him a fatal blow with one try.
Unfortunately, he managed to dodge before my power could grab his body entirely. So I could only slash his hand a bit.
[You have cut Letos for 675 HP]
He backed away, making a distance to get out of my range before he stopped. At the same time, reflexively, he unleashed his Deathraze and took his attack stance, preparing to counter my attack. His blood and hissing sound came out from the wound on his arm. It was a deep wound and his Dark Healing couldn't heal it immediately since Nightmare's side effect reduced that skill's effectiveness.
Suddenly, silence overtook us. Our eyes stared at each other coldly. My friendly smile disappeared and the atmosphere around us turned tense.
A gigantic transparent dome suddenly enveloped us. It was this battle arena's barrier.
Letos glanced at the control room and looked at Nefaris who was standing, watching us from the huge window.
"You cursed woman…" I could hear his hiss before he returned his attention to me.
"Who are you? Why do you have Lord Erebus' sword?" he yelled in anger. His displeasure and confusion were evident in his tone. The sword was the only reason why he believed in my act. Yet it also betrayed him.
"Give me your best guess," I challenged. My hatred was evident in my tone of voice. At this point, I didn't hide my hatred for him anymore.
"Stop messing around and tell me!" he shouted impatiently. It seemed he had no idea who I was since no one should be able to wield the sword other than Erebus and he knew, even though I was a fake, the sword was real.
"It's a bit sad since you have no idea who I am even though you have killed me once..." I said in a cold voice as I covered three-quarters of my face with my hand. My eyes were fixed on him.
A frown of confusion appeared on his forehead.
"Killed you?" he repeated in confusion.
I canceled my Camouflage skill. A pair of red horns appeared above my head. My angel wing was replaced by another black wing and an incubus tail appeared behind me. These were my demonic features that Erebus didn't have.
[You have returned to your original appearance.]
I shifted my hand to the side, showing my face to him.
"I'm Damian Lucio. Lord Damon's son and nephew. Nice to meet you, Letos."
Upon my appearance, Letos' eyes widened in shock. His jaw dropped for the same reason.
"No way..." he mumbled.
