True Incubus: The Demon with No Limits

”Sixty million.”

”...what?”

”Yes.”

Naomi revealed it and Evelyn couldn’t believe it.

”Dollars...?”

”Yes.”

”How did you win 60 million in a bet...?”

”There’s this rich gambling addict witch I know who made the bet, I participated and won.”

”You are... rich.”

Evelyn didn’t know what else to say and Naomi—

”I am not.”

She shook her head. Evelyn frowned and Naomi started explaining.

”As I said, these people have a skewed concept of money. Do you know how much even a normal Witch’s artifact costs?”

”How much...?”

”About fifty million.”

”...what?”

”And that’s the most basic of them. Lucian asked what it would cost to build a customised weapon, she said that depending on the specific customisation, the cost could easily shoot up to about five hundred million or even a billion.”

Naomi explained and Evelyn...

She couldn’t believe it.

She turned her head and glanced towards Lucian, still lying on the bed, unconscious.

’A weapon...’

She thought inwardly as she kept staring at him.

Naomi looked at her and frowned.

”What are you thinking?”

She asked.

”Nothing.”

”It was definitely somethi—”

Naomi wanted to press on but before she could say or do anything else, the door of the Medical room opened and another woman walked in.

A woman who made both girls straighten their backs.

Vivienne.

The woman’s eyes first moved towards Aevrienne, then Naomi, then Evelyn.

”You should be resting.”

She spoke as she stared at Evelyn.

”I was worried about him.”

Evelyn smiled.

”Worry about yourself.”

Vivienne spoke in a strict tone. Evelyn turned quiet, Naomi lowered her head as well, not wanting to be noticed by the woman.

Vivienne didn’t care, her eyes moved towards the bed, staring at Lucian who had been lying there for a while.

Then, after looking at him for about three seconds—

”Stop pretending.

I have things I want you to do.”

She commented and both Naomi and Evelyn blinked in surprise. Their eyes instantly turned towards Lucian and the next second—

Lucian slowly opened one eye.

”...how did you know?”

He asked with a confused look on his face.

Vivienne completely ignored that question.

”Your body is currently filled with Blank Demonic Energy, change that.”

She ordered, pointing at the two women around him.

”Then, once you are done, come to me.

You have an hour.”

”Why the rush?”

Lucian tilted his head as he sat up.

”That Vampire you caught.”

”Varek?”

”Yes, they are going to deliver him to House Arcelis.”

”House Arcelis...?”

Lucian’s expression changed in an instant.

He knew House Arcelis.

It is one of the oldest Vampire Houses, it may not be the strongest, but it is definitely one of the richest and has quite a big influence on Vampire Politics.

Of course, all this wasn’t enough to surprise Lucian, especially when he had met Silvian, Heir of House Veyr, a House with far more influence than House Arcelis.

Just that...

The name stood out to Lucian because...

House Arcelis was the House that Varek belonged to.

Varek Arcelis.

That was Varek’s complete name before the Arcelis House removed him from the Family when they realised that he had formed a Contract with a demon and had started killing Vampires of their House.

”They want him back?”

Lucian frowned as he sat up. The previous playfulness on his face completely disappeared.

”Yes.”

Vivienne nodded.

”Do they plan to execute him?”

”I don’t know.”

Vivienne didn’t care.

”What I do know is that they requested him alive.”

”It wouldn’t be surprising if they want to execute him on their own grounds.”

Lucian muttered.

Vampires were extremely prideful, even if they wanted one of their own dead, they wouldn’t let ’mere’ humans do it.

They would rather do it themselves.

What surprised Lucian even more was how quickly it all happened.

From Evelyn and Naomi’s conversation that he eavesdropped on, he had been out for two days, that meant only two days had passed since the Enclave had Varek and they were already requesting him...?

That seemed... odd.

Weren’t they being a little too active?

Was it because of pride?

Was it because they did not want a Vampire of Arcelis House to be in the Enclave’s custody, even if the said Vampire had long since been removed from the Family?

Or...

Was it something else?

”What are they offering?”

Lucian questioned curiously.

”Why are you asking?”

”Just curious.”

”Quite a lot.”

Vivienne did not hide it either.

”Is that so...”

Lucian had no idea what ’quite a lot’ was, what he did know, however, was that it was his teacher’s way of telling him to shut up and do as he was told.

Lucian, however, had one last question.

”Why me?”

He had no interest in delivering that thing to his family, he honestly did not want to associate with that being, especially when staying here was clearly more interesting, especially since now he had an Ancient Spirit he could talk to.

A Spirit who can... take him to the Demon Realm.

But—

”You were personally requested by the Warden Seat.”

”...what?”

Lucian’s face changed.

”Garrick requested you.”

Vivienne repeated with this annoyed look on her face, clearly the woman did not like repeating herself.

”He came to me, asking if he could travel with you. He was polite, so I agreed.”

”You are making your hurt student go to a Vampire House because someone... asked politely?”

Lucian couldn’t believe it.

But Vivienne—

”You can learn quite a lot from him.”

She spoke seriously.

Lucian’s expression changed as well.

Garrick Vale.

He did not know much about him, but from what he had read, the man was a Veteran Hunter, he was also easily one of the strongest hunters in the Enclave, some even called him the Strongest, just that...

Every time Lucian stared at this teacher of his, he quickly shook that possibility out of his head.

The Strongest?

The strongest wouldn’t come to someone to ask for her permission, he would just give the order.

But—

Whatever it may be, the fact that Warden Seat Garrick was strong couldn’t be denied.

And Lucian, he had no reason to refuse, especially when someone like Garrick personally requested him.

”Alright.”

He nodded.
