Demonic Pornstar System - Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Upgraded Valkyries
As for the dungeon of their choice, it would have to be the same one that they entered beforehand. It was simply the best choice considering their opportunities. When one clears a dungeon that wasn’t explored previously, they can receive drops from slain monsters and also find treasure chests.

However, those dungeons were not open to the public. All dungeons were owned by the United States and its governing body, who would lease the dungeons to contracted guilds.

The only way Kaiden and co could enter a ‘virgin’ dungeon was to either create their own guild and pay millions, if not billions of dollars for each dungeon contract, or to swear allegiance to a guild that owned such dungeons.

The former option was simply not feasible for the time being, while the latter was not something Kaiden wanted to do.

Guilds were strict organizations, he wanted to be his own man. Kaiden cherished freedom and independence greatly.

Not joining a guild wasn’t only about his ego, though. Depending on the contract, he could find himself separated from his ladies due to being forced to join different combat teams. Furthermore, their rate of growth would depend on the opportunities the guild decides to give them.

And if this much wasn’t enough of a reason to stay independent, there could be some guild manager who decides to spite him—which was a very real possibility considering he had three gorgeous and loyal girlfriends—the manager could heavily stunt their growth by not sending them on missions or even sending them to their deaths.

Thus, joining a guild was a major no-go for them.

However, Kaiden had already devised a plan that would let them clear fresh dungeons without having to go with either of the aforementioned options, but for that path to become available, they would first need to showcase their strength and competence as combatants, which was the goal of today’s dungeon dive.

…

“Welcome back to Valhalla’s Sinners, everyone,” Kaiden greeted his viewers.

– Princeless Princess: Good luck with today’s stream!

– Kaiden’s Wife: Agh! I was beaten to being the first to comment… Anyways, break a leg!

– Kaiden’s Wife: I didn’t mean it literally!

– Divine Light: I already know that this youngster is a great entertainer and a well-established ladies’ man, but I’m curious to see if he excels as a combatant as well.

– Kaiden’s Wife: Of course he does!

It didn’t take long for the squad to move away from the dungeon gate and find a few stragglers.

<Glowcap Creeper – Level 4>

<Glowcap Creeper – Level 3>

<Glowcap Creeper – Level 4>

<Glowcap Creeper – Level 5>

They were greeted by four monsters that formed a group. These creatures were luminescent mushroom-like entities with extending tentacles. They could fight from medium range, which made them harder opponents than simpler monsters who resembled animals.

Since Kaiden already knew his abilities, he was eager to see what his ladies were capable of.

“I got this, besties,” Nyx announced as she stepped forth. Aria eyed her curiously while Luna frowned. It was evident she wanted to go first.

Nyx crouched down to pick up two larger chunks of stone lying on the ground, weighing them in her hands before lifting them from her palms with [Telekinesis], the ability she had unlocked as soon as she became Kaiden’s Sinsworn Valkyrie.

“[Kinetic Shard].” Her spell intonation resulted in the stones shattering into dozens of sharp fragments. With a push of her two hands, the shards shot toward the group of glowcap creepers in the form of a hailstorm made of miniature projectiles.

The luminescent monsters reacted quickly: their glowing tentacles whipped out with great speed. They deflected most of the shards mid-air, and the ones that hit only grazed their tough, rubbery hides, drawing small traces of bioluminescent fluid but failing to cause significant damage.

Nyx eyed the monsters as she evaluated the results of her actions. “I still need to increase my Magic stat if I want such measly projectiles to cause good damage, it seems. For now, I have to rely on greater objects to deal sufficient damage.” Once the Space Valkyrie was satisfied with the findings of her analysis, she stretched out her right hand and utilized her second newly unlocked ability. “[Astral Summon: Fire]!”

The air shimmered in front of her, and a strangely transparent blade materialized out of thin air. It pulsed with fiery energy.

This spell allowed the Space Valkyrie to summon a weapon of her choice, and she could also coat it with one of the four basic elements: fire, water, wind, and earth. She elected to go with fire in this instance as these creepers looked a lot like mushrooms, making her assume that fire would be the best counter-element.

The blade shot forward, propelled by her [Telekinesis]. Nyx used all her mental strength to make this projectile traverse through the air as swiftly as she could, and this effort of hers was boosted by her heavy investment into the Magic stat as well.

The targeted glowcap creeper tried to react by flailing its tentacles in a desperate attempt to block the incoming attack, but Nyx’s speed was too much for it. The flaming blade struck true, embedding itself deep in the creature’s spongy body.

Flames erupted from its core, consuming the monster from the inside. It screeched in the form of a wet, gurgling sound, and its glowing form began thrashing wildly as the fire spread across its luminescent flesh. Its bioluminescent shine lost its strength rapidly, and the stench of burning organic matter filled the air.

It didn’t take more than a few moments for the creature to collapse into a smoldering heap as the flames reduced it to a charred husk.

Nyx had guessed its elemental weakness correctly.

The gorgeous pink-haired girl straightened her back proudly while wiping a bead of sweat from her brow. Summoning and controlling the blade had taken a small toll on her energy reserves, but she could continue for a long while. However, it became evident to the Space Valkyrie that she should not neglect the Endurance stat in the future.

“Kreee!” the remaining three creepers screeched as they sent their tentacles at Nyx to eliminate the woman who proved to be a great threat to their lives.

She pushed her arms out towards the incoming attacks and intoned her final newly acquired spell; “[Kinetic Barrier].” A transparent shield formed in front of her body, enveloping Nyx in a protective veil from the direction of the attacks. The tentacles slammed into it only to get repelled.

The creepers continued their assault relentlessly, which resulted in Nyx wincing and gasping while her barrier began showing signs of cracking. If things continued as they were, the shield would break apart.

Before Nyx could mount a counterattack, Luna dashed in front of her and slashed at multiple tentacles with her [Stormblade], tearing them apart immediately.

“You cowkin bitch, you must be assuming you’re the heroine of a deranged hentai. Stop letting these tentacle monsters have their way with you! You’re not in the middle of shooting an adult video, dumbass.”

Just as Luna mounted a counterattack, Grace, the secretary of the Awakened Association’s chairman, was rushing towards the aforementioned man to deliver the big news of what she was currently witnessing on the stream of Valhalla’s Sinners.
