The Incubus System Chapter 160 - The Truth

The Incubus System Chapter 160. The Truth

After that we were silent. I knew she didn't hate , but I didn't know what to say to her. After a while, she let go of her embrace and lifted her head to look at .

"Brother ... What happened?" One of her hands went up and touched the side of my face in hesitation. Her eyes that were slightly red and wet with tears looked at deeply.

"It's a long story ..." I said with a wistful smile. My hand overlapped her hand and rubbed it slowly against my cheek. I could feel her soft skin against mine. My heart was pounding and my emotions flared up. Happiness and relief mixed in after she accepted my identity.

"Did everything start from a week ago?" she guessed.

I was stunned since she got it right. My surprise was visible from my expression.

"How do you know it?"

"I realized you changed a lot since then. You never fought before yet you could defeat Bern easily that day ... After that everything seed easy for you. You solved our financial problems, paid my college registration fee, fought Franz." Then she made a short pause. Her eyes trembled side to side in emotions.

"I rember you said you took a tutoring job and they paid you in advance. But a tutor's salary can't be that much ..."

'She guessed everything right ...' I knew I had changed a lot that day and I couldn't cover it up since I just explored my new self.

"It could be mom who sent the money."

She shook her head slowly and smiled bitterly as she took her hand away from my face.

"I know mom blocked your contact that day. Because I saw you ---- How you desperately tried to contact mom." She pressed her lips in sorrow and regret for a mont.

"That's why I agreed to Bern's request ... Because I know you did your best for ... For us ..." I could see her tears rolled on her cheeks.

Seeing her tears, my hands moved to wipe them gently. I didn't expect her to find out about it.

"Since that day I realized you always co ho late almost every day. Also found dad's suit missing from his wardrobe and marks on your body ... I also noticed the sll of your laundry started to change as if you slept with many different won. Sotis ... I could sll blood from it. I know you are not a playboy nor a cruel person but I'm sure there must be a clear reason for all of this. But you didn't say anything to ... and covered it in a sweet manner, "she added with a trembling voice.

I shook my head from side to side.

"No, I did not act like that because I wanted to cover this up. I just --- don't want to lose you."

Celia's gaze was full of emotion and sadness.

"You are my brother. How could I hate you?"

I clamped both sides of her head with my hands and made her look straight at .

"Look at , Celia. I'm a demon. I'm the enemy of mankind. How could I not be afraid that you would hate ? " I lowered my head slightly. Traces of sadness were clear on my face.

"Besides, at that ti you were cold to . If you hated when I was human, how can I tell you that I have turned into a demon?" My eyes that looked at her show how serious I was.

"Are you that scared?" She looked surprised by my confession.

"Yes ... You are the only one left in our family. I don't want to lose you."

A wistful smile began to appear on her face.

"I'm sorry I have made a misunderstanding because of my ego. I promise I won't leave you ... I will never leave you ..."

"Thank you ..."

"Brother, can you tell , what happened? Why did you suddenly change like this? Did an evil demon change you? How about we find a way to turn you back into a human?" She tried to encourage .

"If I turn back into a human, I will die," I explained.

Celia looked surprised upon my answer.

"But ... Why?"

Another bitter smile appeared on my lips.

"Celia, that day --- One year after dad died ... It was also my death day."

"You are kidding, right?" she asked in disbelief.

Even though I didn't want to say it. I had to tell her that Ethan Strongheart died that day and ca back to life as an incubus nad Damian Lucio. I was not a half-demon or a human possessed by demon spirits or sothing like that. I was a true demon like the Hounds and the Imps, it was just that I could maintain my consciousness as a human and did not act brutally like them.

"No, I'm not kidding. Ethan Strongheart died as demons' al that day ..."

"No ... I know you're just kidding." She took my hands away from her and backed away slowly as her tears trickled down on her cheeks. I could only be silent, but from my expression, she should know how serious I was.

"Please say sothing!" she couldn't help herself but yell.

"Celia ..." I approached her slowly.

"Please tell that you are just kidding! Tell my brother is still alive!" she yelled again in frustration. Her sob sounded between her words.

"Celia ..." I hugged her to calm her down and she cried in my arms.

"Please ... Say that my brother is still alive," she said in a calr tone.

"Your brother is still alive ..." Even though I said that she still sobbed because she knew I could never turn into a human again.

"But he ca back to life as an Incubus and will never be able to return into a human again," I confird.

"Is that because of that change, you slept with so many won?" she guessed. It seed that those words had explained so many things to her.

"Yes. I need to have sex in order to survive. I eat through sex or I will go insane." My hand stroked her hair gently, trying to calm her down as best I could.

"So that job ..." Her sobbing sound was still clear.

"It's not a tutor job. I beca a prostitute in Ledred ..." I admitted.

Her tears were dripping more and more. Her hands grabbed my shirt tightly. I understood her sadness, we grew up in good family, that's why prostitution still had a bad label on Celia's mind. Moreover, I had never dated a woman before. I could say, this truth made fall into the pathetic creature in her eyes.

"Well, but despite my job, I only sleep with certain won. Besides, I also have so partners who love and treat well," I tried to comfort her. But she still sobbed and her tears continued to flow. I loosened my embrace, put my hand on her chin and lifted it to face .

"Celia, it isn't that bad. If I didn't turn like this, I wouldn't be able to save you. I wouldn't be able to fight the other demons," I said with a soft smile.

"But now you are killing humans ..." In an instant, I knew what was bothering Celia and making her so sad and difficult to accept this truth.

"I don't kill humans," I confird.

Her confusion was clear on her face.

"Are there demons who don't kill humans?" she said in disbelief. I forgot what ordinary people knew was demons killing humans even though they didn't know why.

"Have you ever killed demon hunters who were chasing you before?" she made another wild guess with a worried tone.

"Celia, I have never killed humans, including the demon hunters who are after ," I confird once again.

"Demons kill humans to eat. Just like lions kill deers. I told you I am an incubus, I eat through sex. I don't kill humans."

"But, what about the blood sll on your clothes?" she asked in confusion.

"It's either because of the demon blood, my own blood or ..." I paused since it was kinda awkward for to say it.

"My partners' virgin blood."

Her face turned red in embarrassnt.

"Vi-Virgin blood?" she said in surprise and disbelief.

I smiled nervously.

"I already said I have so partners and so of them were virgin. So ..." I stopped my words since I was sure she already knew the rest.

"How many of them?" Celia asked, still in the sa tone.

"It's 7 partners and 1 servant in total." I cleared my throat.

"Including you."

"Eh? ?" she said in a puzzled expression.

"Do you rember what we did last week?"

"Yes." Her face was getting redder.

"It counted as sex, though it was only an oral," I explained.

"So since that day ... I'm also one of your partners?" she asked for my confirmation once again.

"Yeah. That's why I can find out that you are in danger."

"If your other partners are in danger. Are you going to save them too?"

"Of course," I said with a smile.

Slowly her smile appeared and a slight chuckle escaped her mouth.

"Why are you laughing?" There was a feeling of joy in since she started showing her smile.

"You know. You sound more like a heroic seducer than a demon."

"I'll take that as a complint."

- Clang!

A falling iron's sound startled us. Reflexively, we turned to the origin of the sound and my expression turned serious.

"Who's there?" I took out my Demonic Spike again. I didn't know if it was the police or the rescue team but I had to threaten him so he wouldn't scream to call his friends.
