"Are you coming back with me?"
Seeing the "rat" still standing there in a daze, the soldier asked.
"Do I have a choice?"
"Of course. You can move around freely. Just don't pick up a weapon or wander too far, or you might get hurt by mistake."
The human soldier had no intention of escorting her under guard. He even seemed concerned for her safety. The incubus was so exasperated she laughed.
The Main Plane really is a wonderful place. Naive fools like this can survive to adulthood here. They wouldn't last three minutes in the Abyss.
"Lead the way."
The plan isn't finished. The Felstone hasn't been detonated. I still have to be Lady Biross's eyes. Yes, that's why!
It's definitely not because staying with these humans means I don't have to think about anything complicated!
The incubus convinced herself and followed the young soldier back to the warehouse. There, she found several soldiers raising a grave mound.
"What are they doing?"
"Making 'your' grave."
"I don't know what you mean." The incubus played dumb.
"I said you did well." Femi's gaze fell on the through-and-through wound on the right side of her chest. "Are you sure you don't need treatment?"
"Just thinking about finally getting my revenge gives me all the energy I need," the incubus said, giving up the pretense. "Enough talk. Get the Felstone to the connection point. Then we wait for the Red-Eye Clan to return."
"And watch them fall."
"You've worked a miracle. Ordinary people accomplished what even Legendary figures couldn't. The entire Main Plane will sing your praises."
"It was just an ordinary operation." Femi took no pride in it.
"No, they will." The incubus was certain.
The living would never be raised to such lofty heights, but the dead were another matter...
