The Incubus System Chapter 869. That's Basic Knowledge!
I cringed at the suggestion. "You're kidding, right?" I questioned. "I don't know how to do any of that," I admitted.
Puriel's reaction was priceless. Her eyebrows shot up, and her mouth formed a small 'O' of astonishment. "You don't know that?" she repeated, her disbelief evident.
"Nope," I replied, a touch of frustration in my tone. "It's not like you've given me an angelic handbook or anything. I don't even know your skills or powers," I added, a bit exasperated.
Puriel's turn to cringe came swiftly. "Are you dumb? That's basic knowledge," she plained. Puriel's expression shifted from surprise to a more thoughtful demeanor. "Well, I suppose I've been telling stories more than sharing practical knowledge," she admitted. "But these skills are essential, especially when dealing with mysterious entities like the colossal eye."
I rolled my eyes cynically. "Yeah, maybe you should throw in an 'Angelic 101' lesson or something. Besides…" I shot her a pointed look. "I was a human, and now I'm a demon. I didn't exactly get my education from angels or the light dimension," I reminded her.
"The human world doesn't teach you that?" she asked once again.
"Nope," I replied succinctly. The everyday curriculum in the human world didn't exactly include lessons about demons or angels. I had my fair share of adapting to a new reality after I turned into a demon.
Her frown deepened, and she shot me a disgusted look. "Ew, what do they teach? Don't tell me they also never teach a simple skill like Holy Blast," she expressed with clear disdain.
"Holy Blast is reserved for demon hunters," I clarified. "More precisely, it's an advanced skill possessed by elite demon hunters. So, not every human learns it, and not every demon hunter has it," I elaborated.
"You're kidding, right?" she asked in disbelief.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" I responded, my tone serious.
Her expression shifted from disbelief to a mix of surprise and understanding. "Well, that's just... unexpected," she admitted, still processing the revelation.
"Yeah, the human world doesn't exactly teach how to fight demons to all of us," I quipped.
Her frown intensified. "How weak are humans now? Don't tell me they are struggling even to kill something as feeble as a Rat Demon," she mused.
I pressed my lips together, fighting off the urge to answer right away. Ironically, I had once met my demise at the claws of a Rat Demon.
She gasped. "Wait, they're struggling to kill weak demons like the Rat Demon?" she asked, a mix of disbelief and shock evident in her voice.
"Rat Demon isn't the weakest, okay? There are even weaker ones than that," I reassured her. I vaguely recalled Foxy mentioning something about a weaker demon, but the name had slipped my mind.
I leaned back, a reflective expression on my face. "Also, humans are doing their best, but they face a wide variety of demons. The Rat Demon might not be the weakest, but it's certainly one they encounter frequently," I explained.
"So that's all true?" she exclaimed, gasping in shock once again. Her eyes widened.
I gave her a dry smile. "Uh… yeah," I responded.
I shifted my gaze to another direction, trying to evade the judgment I sensed in her eyes.
"So what have you been telling me all this time? About the demon attacks and such, all of them mostly just by weak demons?" she clarified, leaning in, her gaze intensifying.
"Well, Beel just wreaked havoc this morning, so you can't say that," I countered, trying to defend the humans. I stole a glance at her.
"Dominated by weak demons?" she corrected herself.
"I'm not weak," I stated, a smirk playing on my lips. After all, I was one of the demons that had attacked the human world, at least from the human perspective.
She shot me a flat stare, well aware that I was merely feigning innocence.
