The Incubus System Chapter 780. Obvious 

A rush of energy surged through me, a dark aura enveloping my body as the transformation took hold. 

My appearance shifted, my red eyes glowing with an otherworldly light.

Once the transformation was complete, I used my skill. ‘Teleportation.’

In the blink of an eye, I vanished from my original spot and reappeared directly in front of Elenna. My appearance was enough to startle her, causing her steps to falter and her eyes to widen in surprise. 

Before she could react or utter a single word, I swiftly moved, covering her mouth with my hand to prevent any outcries.

‘Mind Corruption, Read. Everything she knows about demons, demon hunter, me, and the cult,' I ordered.

The rush of information flooded my mind like a deluge, a torrent of thoughts, memories, and insights that weren't my own. It was as if I had stepped into Elenna's mind, experiencing her world through her eyes.

I couldn't help but chuckle at some of the misconceptions she had about me. It was both amusing and intriguing to see how she had pieced together fragments of truths and woven them into her own narrative. 

Her instincts played a significant role in her conclusions, and while some were indeed wildly inaccurate, I couldn't deny that she had stumbled upon some elements that were surprisingly close to the mark.

But what really piqued my interest were the tidbits that aligned with reality. The moments where her intuition had guided her towards a truth she couldn't have possibly known by conventional means. 

Eventually, the flood of information began to recede, and I withdrew from her mind, my consciousness returning to its original state. 

Opening my eyes, I looked at Elenna, a hint of mischief dancing in my gaze. I couldn't deny that her tenacity and determination had caught my attention.

“Hmm… she could be of use to me,” I mused aloud. Reading her memory made me aware of her use of the company network. But to talk about this, I needed a better place than this.

As Elenna lay unconscious in my arms, I activated my portal skill. When we emerged from the portal, we found ourselves on the rooftop of an abandoned building in the heart of Nighthallow City. The wind howled around us.

I gently laid Elenna on the floor. She seemed so fragile in that moment. 

With a snap of my fingers, I created a small burst of sound, enough to rouse her from her unconscious state.

Her eyes fluttered open, her gaze immediately locking onto mine. 

In an instant, recognition flashed across her features, quickly followed by shock and a healthy dose of fear. 

"AH!" she screamed, her voice echoing off the rooftop as she scrambled backward. 

I watched her reaction with a raised eyebrow, my arms casually folded across my chest. 

"You're the one who's been relentlessly searching for me, and now you're acting like you've seen a ghost," I remarked, a wry smile tugging at the corner of my lips. 

Her chest rose and fell rapidly, the erratic rhythm of her breathing mirroring the tumultuous thoughts swirling in her mind.

Her trembling finger pointed in my direction. "E-Ethan? So you're the great demon?" she stammered.

I couldn't help but feel a surge of dark amusement at her reaction. The girl who had been so adamant about uncovering the truth was now confronted with a reality that far exceeded her expectations. 

"Guilty as charged," I replied, my tone dripping with a touch of irony. 

"Seems like you've stumbled onto a revelation you weren't quite prepared for."

Her eyes widened. The fierce gaze she had leveled at me earlier had transformed into something entirely different.

I allowed a slow, satisfied smile to grace my lips. 

"First, I was the demon hunter, then the loyal disciple of some sinister cult. It's amusing how wrong those assumptions are," I taunted, my words layered with mockery.

Elenna's gaze bore into me. The pieces of the puzzle were finally falling into place for her. It was as if she had stumbled upon a hidden truth she wasn't quite ready to face.

"That previous incident... Those ghosts... That's all your work, right?" she concluded, her voice tinged with a blend of fear and determination.

I tilted my head slightly, a half-smile playing on my lips. 

"Bingo!" I exclaimed, my tone light and almost playful. "But I can't give you too much credit for that deduction. It's a bit too obvious, don't you think?"
