The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 281. The Dinner Preparation II

After that, we decided to talk about something else. It was not that we were not interested in talking about that reckless reporter, but the exam had just finished and so were our problems. Although each of us had a heavy responsibility, just like other students, we wanted to relax and free our minds for a while. Discussing how Elenna broke through many places and risked her own life, only made us more annoyed and gave us headaches over her acts.

About 10 minutes later, Olivia and Emma decided to go home since they wanted to prepare themselves for the dinner. Which was followed by Larry a few minutes later. I decided to stay for a while. I wanted to check my system for a bit before I went home with my portal since something had been bugging me since yesterday.

An annoyed sigh escaped my mouth as my eyes stared at my status. I leaned to the back of my chair and tapped my index finger on the table repeatedly. I thought my status was kinda weird. How could my servant have more HP than mine? I could clearly remember, Ivy, the same demon kind as me, had 3003 HP when she was level 61. And my HP was still 1200 now. It hadn't even reached half her HP points, although I had gotten a lot of status bonuses for it. I admitted, I distributed a lot of my points to other stats, but our differences shouldn't be that far.

'Is it because I haven't gotten my title yet?' That was the only guess that went through my head. Since from Lord Damon's words, I could conclude that the title was not just a name but something that could increase my strength, just like when Lilieth opened my access the first time. But it seemed I had to increase my level first to claim it. Still... This HP difference really bothered me. Though my critical attacks were deadly now.

Then I decided to open my skills.

Note: Skill tree is on Discord

I leaned my body forward and put one of my elbows on the table. My fist was clenched in front of my mouth. My other hand was still on the table and my index finger was tapping on it. As my eyes looked at my skill list and skill tree, my brain began to plan what skills I would take later. Since the magic tubes and gave me quite a lot of bonus skills, according to my calculations, I was able to take up all my skills at level 83. Still, I couldn't distribute it recklessly since as my level got higher, I needed more EXP to level up.

Previously, apart from maximizing my existing skills, I took five new skills. Dark Bound, Shadow Barrier, Wrath Kill, Puppet Break and Silence. I could say Wrath Kill was one of my best combat skills. With that skill, I could kill an enemy who had a higher level than mine with just one critical hit.

Whereas with Dark Bound, I could bind my enemies with my Demonic Power. Unlike my Telekinesis, this skill was permanent. So my enemy wouldn't be able to move as long as I didn't cancel it. And instead of my Deflection skill, I chose to take my Shadow Barrier since I could use it to create shields for everyone. Meanwhile, even though Deflection could reflect magic attacks, I could only use it for myself. And Silence, that skill could make a person lose his voice and eliminate his ability to use his skills temporarily.

'I think I should prioritize my skill points to maximize my Wrath Kill before taking my Deflection,' I thought. After Myra's lab's battle, I felt much stronger. My DP reduction was slower due to my Energy Protection, so I didn't worry about my DP anymore. And my HP Recovery helped me to heal my minor injuries without using my DP. I was quite grateful that these two passive skills could cover my insecurity about my HP points. But that didn't mean I was satisfied with it. Since the higher the level of my enemy, their attack would be more deadly. If my HP point was too low, one hit from my enemy was enough to send me to my death.

I sighed once again and decided to go home. I had promised myself to take a break and relax for a while after the exam was over. But in the end, my mind immediately returned to my responsibilities right after I left the class. Though I admit, I could think a lot more clearly now.

My hand was about to grab my bag, but my cellphone's ringtone stopped me. I opened my bag and took my cellphone. It was a message from Tiffany.

Tiffany: Hey, how's it going? I heard your exam week has just ended. Should we celebrate it tonight? I got some discount coupons from a nice cafe near your house's district.

I smiled. It tickled me remembering how bad our relationship used to be. Yet it improved after we cleared all our misunderstandings. Moreover, after our conversation at the hospital and our last meeting at my house, although we got closer because we had different goals, in the end, we understood each other's difficulties.

My fingers moved on my cellphone's screen.

Me: How about tomorrow? I already have another appointment tonight.

Tiffany: Okay. I will pick you up at 06.00 PM tomorrow. How's that sound?

Me: Sounds good.

Tiffany: One more thing. Tell Celia to dress up as pretty as possible. We will take a taxi to get there, so she doesn't have to worry about her makeup.

'A high-class cafe?' I thought. It was rare to dress up for a cafe.

Me: Okay.

I was just about to put back my cellphone, but suddenly an announcement in a red box appeared in front of me.

[!!! Warning !!! ]

[Your partner, Diamond Seabloom is in danger!]

[Other demons detected in less than 100 Meters from Diamond Seabloom.]

'Shit!' But a second later, another ringtone came from my cellphone. Since I hadn't closed my chat app yet, I could see the message on my screen.

Diamond: Ethan, can you come to my office now?
