The Incubus System Chapter 644. The Demon Hunter and The Great Demon I

Larry's PoV

The night steadily progressed. The sky was now blanketed by darkness. The starry sky twinkled above. The streets were quiet and still, save for the occasional hoot of an owl or the rustling of leaves as a gentle breeze blew through the trees.

With the precision of a cat burglar, Larry entered his room on tiptoe, easing the door closed behind him with the slow and steady movement of a snail. He just washed and ironed his uniform with the utmost care, ensuring that it was spotless and ready for another night hunt.

Carefully, he held his breath as the door made the softest of clicking sounds to make sure his mother, who was sleeping in the next room, remained undisturbed. As Larry approached his bed, he clutched his demon hunter uniform tightly before he expertly slid his uniform inside his body pillow, 'Nana-chan', hiding it from his mother.

After a long, tired breath, he slowly lowered himself onto the bed. Every inch was a torturous journey as his body screamed in protest. With a sharp hiss of pain, he finally lay down on the mattress, his back touching the soft surface with a gentle thud. The bed was covered in a soft, downy comforter.

Lately, it has been different. His body was wracked with pain, every movement causing him to wince and gasp. The bruises and wounds were still fresh, a reminder of the brutal beating he had received from Ruby.

The reason for her outburst was simple - she missed Ethan so much and she was at her limit. But despite her repeated threats and demands, Larry refused to reveal Ethan's whereabouts. He remained silent, even as Ruby unleashed her fury upon him. And he knew that he had made the right choice.

Despite the best efforts of the demon hunter association's medical team, Larry's body was still a mass of bruises and wounds. But, despite the pain and discomfort, Larry was grateful that he was able to prove himself as Ethan's loyal friend. Besides, he was able to cover up his wounds with his new glasses and a flu mask. Still… It caused him so much pain.

He took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the ceiling above him. "I wonder when all of this healed," he muttered under his breath. College was about to start, and he couldn't possibly walk around with injuries like this.

With a gentle sigh, Larry turned his gaze to his game console and TV not far from his bed. "I wonder when Ethan will be able to come here and help me to finish the game," he muttered again in a more calm and sad tone.

He couldn't help but feel that something had changed about Ethan recently, and he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. He knew that Ethan had been busy lately, with either his new job or girlfriend. Two. 

Okay, two girlfriends and a crazy stalker, if he counted his ex-mentor. But, despite all of this, Larry felt that there was something different about Ethan, something that went beyond his new busyness and responsibilities.

Larry tried to find the right words to describe the change he saw in Ethan, but he just couldn't. He knew he was still Ethan, it was just, somehow, he felt Ethan looked more--- mature. No, mature wasn't the right word for that. Responsible? Serious? But these words didn't quite capture the full extent of the change that Larry saw in his best friend. It was as if Ethan was carrying a much heavier burden than before as if his problems were weightier than his previous financial struggles.

With a deep sigh, Larry closed his eyes, lost in thought. He wasn't just thinking about Ethan, but also about the demon hunter association, which he felt had undergone some changes of its own. Specifically, after an advanced demon hunter transferred to this city. His name was Nathan. From the moment Larry met Nathan, he had an instant dislike for him, although he didn't know why. Unfortunately, Nathan was too strong. He even was as strong as the chairwoman. So, he couldn't say anything.

Somehow since Nathan appeared, Larry felt a lot of things had changed. He felt his only problem in the association wasn't just Theo who saw him as a nemesis. Well, he couldn't complain either since the demon attack had gotten worse recently. Also, the Great Demon's appearance, of course. It seemed to change everything.

Larry did not think of that demon as an enemy. Instead, he knew that the demon had helped the demon hunter, it was just that he didn't want to show it openly. Yet Larry also knew the association would never regard the great demon as a friend due to his race.

'If we can get the Great Demon to our side, maybe we can end this long battle quicker,' he thought. But he knew it was a crazy thought.

As Larry was deep in thought, suddenly, a sense of drowsiness overtook him, an overwhelming fatigue that seemed to seep into his bones and overwhelm his senses. This was unlike any normal feeling of sleepiness, and alarm bells rang in his mind as he realized something was not right.

He tried to open his eyes, fighting against the oppressive weight of the drowsiness, but his vision was blurry and indistinct. Through the haze, he could just make out the shape of a figure, a woman, standing over him. Her lips moved as she whispered something, but Larry's mind was too cloudy to make out the words.

Despite his efforts to stay awake, the drowsiness proved too much, and he felt his consciousness slipping away. The last thing he remembered was she approached him. Her shadowy form loomed above him as he fell into a deep and dreamless sleep.
