The Last Incubus with The Vice and Valor System

Lily's despair deepened as the voice continued its cruel taunting. She knew the odds of resolving her predicament were slim, relying on sheer luck to contact Leon so soon.

"I don't want to die like this," Lily cried, tears streaming down her face, her hands clenched tightly. By now, she knew, that she has no chance of solving this problem, the probability of her solving this problem of hers was simply too low, worst still its all down to luck of she would be able to contact Leon this soon or not... Things were beyond her control.

But there's no way Leon would visit a dungeon this soon after getting transmigrated to this world, if only she knew how wrong she is

"It's hopeless, Lily, there's no way out... Hahahaha!" the sinister voice persisted, before proceeding to laugh loudly in Lucy's mind. But suddenly, it paused, sensing something.

"Hmm..." it muttered thoughtfully, a hint of confusion creeping into its tone.

Lily, too, felt a shift. "This is..." she whispered, a glimmer of hope flickering in her heart.

With shock, Lily stood from her throne, she could sense it clearly now.

She could sense his presence! She could sense Leon's presence! Leon was near a dungeon rune stone! He was in a dungeon and have cleared it right to the end, the place where the dungeon rune stone is located.

The rune stone connects every dungeon in the world to the Great Labyrinth,due to her weird connection with Leon, seeing his soul right before he got transmigrated, Lily was able to sense Leon presence....

"How?" Her voice was that of disbelief, but the blank look of despair that has plagued her mind for a long time now is no longer there. This means there was a chance, a chance to break the bondage place upon her, caused by her unusual method of rising to power...

The improbability of this moment overwhelmed her—chances so slim, less than 0.5 percent is for Leon to enter a dungeon so soon after arriving in this world, and it's even lower, less than 0.1 percent, for him to clear a dungeon to the rune stone point, and reach the dungeon boss's lair, the point where the rune stone awaited. Lily found it hard to believe her incredible stroke of luck.

Yet, the odds were still against her. Would Leon's yang qi be potent enough to expel the mysterious voice from her system? For him to be able to do this shows that he's already a cultivator in such a small period of time, at this moment, him being a cultivator shows that his yang is higher than that of mortal men... But will it be able to help her with her God-level yin, the answer is no?

Or so she thought... There's no way he'll be able to break her from the bondage on her...

But despite the uncertainties, hope surged within her. It wouldn't hurt to check things out, will it? Despite how absurd it sounded, she still clunged to that tiny glimmer of hope that Leon would be able to free her...

She clenched her hands tightly, her eyes shimmering with newfound determination.

"Don't get your hopes up," the sinister voice interjected, panic lacing its tone. "It will only hurt more when your hopes are dashed."

But Lily remained resolute. "I need to see for myself," she declared, brushing aside the voice's desperate warnings.

"Hmmph! We will see!" The Sinister voice harrumphed before falling silent, but still a sense of foreboding was rising in her hand.

If she has a control of Lily's body she'd like to stop her from trying to meet Leon, but sadly, that wasn't the case, Lily was in full control of her actions, so the Voice, whatever it was that's in her head , could only watch from Lily's eyes as Lily made preparations to leave, she could only watch and let the sense of foreboding gnaw on her time and time again...

'I have a bad feeling about this, but why, he's just a lucky human that became a cultivator soon after transmigrating, there's no way hs yang would be able to expel me from Lily's system, right?' it was feeling very tensed.

Meanwhile, Lily after standing from the throne, closed her eyes to calm down her emotions and pin point the exact dungeon rune stone she was sensing Leon's presence from...

"This is it!" She muttered silently to her self, the excitement within her rising, With a flick of her fingers, a swirling vortex portal materialized before her. Her shimmering silver hair danced in the portal's wind. Filled with hope, Lily stepped into the vortex, knowing it led directly to the dungeon rune stone where Leon awaited.

In that moment, amidst uncertainty and peril, Lily embarked on a journey fueled by hope, determined to defy the odds and reclaim her fading destiny.

Meanwhile, back in the dungeon in the human realm, Leon, after clearing the dungeon and receiving the Blitz skill, saw a prompt appear right in front of him...

┏━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┓

Host, you've cleared the information.

Let me give you information you're not aware of...

After a dungeon is completely cleared by a party or a person, and the dungeon boss is killed, and the dungeon's ultimate skill received, the portal you used to get into the dungeon will reappear at your point of entrance immediately after all that is done.

It will remain there for the span of thirty minutes, and if you have not exited the dungeon before the thirty minutes is over, the portal will disappear into nothingness and the dungeon will self-destruct.

If you have not left the dungeon before it self-destructs, you will be caught in the explosion of the dungeon's secluded space and be completely obliterated. The chance of surviving a dungeon self-destruction is close to nil, and even if it's possible, you will be lost in the warps of the void, unable to teleport back to the human realm, and then finally be devoured by the void...

A party or anyone that clears the dungeon usually uses that time limit to quickly collect all the goodies and loot they can before the dungeon self-destructs.

•──────────────────•

┗━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┛

Leon gulped as he read this and took in the information. He knew what the system meant by that prompt; he only had less than 30 minutes to collect the loot from the goblins he had killed. He now understood the peril of lingering here too long.

At that moment, another prompt appeared, depicting a thirty-minute countdown timer on the left side of his view...

┏━━━━━━━━━━━┓

30:00

┗━━━━━━━━━━━┛

┏━━━━━━━━━━━┓

29:59

┗━━━━━━━━━━━┛

┏━━━━━━━━━━━┓

29:58

┗━━━━━━━━━━━┛

....

┏━━━━━━━━━━━┓

29:55

┗━━━━━━━━━━━┛

The countdown continued to tick away with each passing second.

Leon sighed as he watched the timer. This only emphasized that the system wasn't joking. It never had before, and this certainly wasn't a matter to be taken lightly.

He sighed again, storing his katana in his spatial ring. He first went and picked up the two short swords the goblin dungeon boss had wielded before it was killed. By now, the boss had already dispersed into pixels, leaving its shortswords and clothes behind.

Leon picked up the shortswords and brandished them for a few seconds. The quality was definitely superior to that of the other shortswords wielded by the goblins he had fought; he could feel it.

A prompt appeared before him at that moment...

┏━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┓

Goblin King's Twin Short Swords

A twin short sword that the Goblin King wields, possessing a magical effect that makes it a more formidable opponent...

This dagger is granted to him to slay intruders to the dungeon and, when time is ripe, exit the dungeon and conquer the world (Dungeon Break).

•────⋅☾ Effects ☽⋅────•

┗━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┛

"What a cool short sword, to bad its name is lame," Leon muttered as he stored the shortswords into his spatial ring.

After that, he walked back in the direction he had come from, planning to loot everything he had missed on his way back to the stream of water and bridge—the exact point where he had entered the dungeon. According to the information given by the system, a portal should be waiting there.

But then, he sensed a change in the atmosphere behind him, a weird feeling as if space was shifting. In that instant, he heard a howling sound, prompting him to turn around, his senses on high alert.

He saw it: a portal had appeared right in front of the rune stone that shot a green beam of light into the sky. The portal was a mesmerizing vortex, swirling with colors that blended seamlessly from one hue to another, like a kaleidoscope of light and shadow. Its edges shimmered with an ethereal glow, and the center seemed to twist and turn endlessly, creating a captivating, almost hypnotic effect.

Leon's eyes widened in surprise. "It's you!"

A/N:

In the past chapters when Leon was fighting against the hoards of goblins I mentioned that there were goblin corpse littered in the ground, let it be known that the dispersing to pixels is not instantaneous and is also very slow.

And also the survivors that he killed moments back before facing the goblin king disguised themselves with goblin corpse that were slowly dispersing to pixels...
