The Incubus System Chapter 1507. Send Another One and I’ll Take That Too

The Incubus System Chapter 1507. Send Another One and I’ll Take That Too

I said nothing.

Only looked at him coldly.

But… My human heart recoiled.

‘This is wrong,’ the thought came sharp and unwanted. ‘This is too cruel’.

Because I wasn’t just beating him anymore.

I wasn’t just humiliating him. I was taking something from him. Something he had dreamed about.

I could lie to myself and say it wasn’t his.

Technically, it wasn’t. It belonged to Aurelion. But feelings didn’t care about technicalities.

To Nathan, it was his.

His proof. And salvation.

His answer to every defeat, every humiliation, every moment he had felt too weak to protect anyone.

And I was stealing it in front of him.

No. Not stealing. Removing.

The polite word tasted like ash.

My fingers flexed.

The Soul Siphon dug deeper.

Nathan screamed again, weaker this time. “My power…!”

I clenched my jaw.

I would leave his demon hunter power.

That was his.

His training. His body. His discipline.

His original light sword techniques, whatever remained of them, whatever belonged to Nathan himself.

I wasn’t going to reduce him to nothing.

But this?

This wing?

This royal light burned into him by Aurelion?

No. I couldn’t let him keep it.

Because if he kept it, he would use it again. And the worst part?

He would think it was noble.

That was the kind of stupidity that got people killed with clean consciences.

The golden light flowed from Nathan’s wing into my palm.

My veins glowed beneath my skin, white-gold mixing with black shadows. The silver mask on my face reflected the light in thin, cruel lines.

[Foreign Authority Extraction: 42%]

[Bestowed Wing Stability: Collapsing]

Nathan’s voice broke. “No… no, no, no…”

His wing flickered.

Feathers dissolved one by one.

Each feather turned into light before being pulled into my hand.

He tried to crawl away.

His body wouldn’t move properly.

I stepped closer and placed one foot beside his hand.

A warning.

He froze, trembling.

“Please…” he rasped.

That word hit somewhere I didn’t like.

Please?

From Nathan?

I hated this!

I hated him for making me do this!

I hated Aurelion more for making this necessary!

Because this was not only punishment.

It was declaration.

Aurelion needed to see.

Every angel he sent after me… I could siphon them.

I could take what he gave and turn his gift into mine.

So he had better be careful.

He had better think twice before sending more people to die in front of me.

The threads tightened one last time.

Nathan let out a single broken cry.

Not loud now.

Just wounded.

Small.

“My power…”

Then the wing collapsed.

It folded inward, cracked into fragments of light, and vanished into my palm.

Nathan’s body dropped flat against the arena floor. Only his original human holy energy remained, dim and ragged but still there.

I let the siphon fade.

[Soul Siphon Complete]

[Extracted Authority: Royal Holy Bestowal Fragment]

[Target Remaining Power: Native Demon Hunter Core Preserved]

I stood over him.

Didn’t move yet.

The arena was silent.

Even Lysathiel didn’t speak.

Maybe she saw what I had done and understood both sides of it.

Mercy.

Cruelty.

Strategy.

All mixed together until the result was ugly but effective.

My hand still glowed faintly with Aurelion’s stolen light.

The light settled into my core with a quiet pulse.

My demonic side didn’t like it.

My holy side did.

My human side felt sick.

Then I felt it.

A presence. Hidden behind the walls, behind the witnessing runes, behind the layers of holy authority carved into this place.

There… He was there!

Aurelion.

He still didn’t want to make an appearance, I guessed.

Kings loved watching from safe places.

I slowly turned toward the direction of that pressure.

The glowing wall gave nothing away. Only presence.

I smiled. Then I bowed. Deeply. Like a performer at the end of an act.

One arm across my chest.

Head lowered.

White clothes, silver mask, angel wings still spread behind me.

A perfect picture of respect.

Except my eyes.

Even lowered, my eyes held no obedience.

This bow did not say, ‘I serve you’.

It said, ‘Thank you for watching. I hope you understood. Send another one and I’ll take that too.’

The pressure in the wall tightened.

For one breath.

Then another.

Then it disappeared.

Just like that.

Gone.

I remained bowed for one extra second, because petty manners were still manners. Then I straightened. “I guess he already saw enough,” I muttered.

Only then did I exhale.

Slowly.

The air felt colder leaving my lungs.

I looked down at Nathan.

His body lay on the floor, cheek against cracked stone, one arm stretched toward nothing. Without the wing, he looked smaller. Not weak exactly. Just human.

That was the tragic thing.

Humans looked fragile after gods finished playing with them.

I turned toward Lysathiel.

Her face was pale.

Not scared of me.

Maybe.

Or maybe a little.

But mostly disturbed.

Her eyes moved from my glowing hand to Nathan’s unconscious body.

Then back to my mask.

I let the remaining light fade from my fingers. “Can we take him home?” I asked. “He already lost the wing and such.”

My voice sounded casual. Too casual.

So I added, “I’ll check him one more time later. Before he wakes up. Just to make sure there’s nothing hidden.”

Lysathiel didn’t respond immediately.

Her gaze lingered on Nathan. Then she looked at me. “You don’t want to kill him?”

I did not answer with words.

I just looked at her.

And I knew she understood the look perfectly.

‘Do you want me to kill him? Please don’t tempt me with that question.’

Because yes.

A part of me still wanted to.

The part that remembered Larry tied, suffering under people like Nathan. The part that remembered Nathan raising swords at me again and again, calling it justice. The part that knew leaving enemies alive sometimes meant they came back sharper.

That part whispered, ‘Do it.’

But another part of me looked at Nathan’s empty back and Jenny’s crying face in my imagination and Celia’s worried eyes and thought, ‘No’.

Not today.
