Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 1030

Chapter 1030: Trapped

Kaiden Grey heard David Bennett’s panic through the red prison as its tether dragged him toward the portal above the garden bench.

"Don’t let him out!" David shouted again, backing into the men protecting him.

David’s allies answered with bolts of mana from behind their shields. Aria swept moonlight across the shots headed for Kaiden, while Alexandra caught the rest against a golden barrier beside the pond.

Another impact flashed white across the prison, hiding Aria from him. Kaiden shoved against the shell until his cracked ribs ground together, furious that he couldn’t even reach the woman fighting an arm’s length from his face.

’Come on, you fucking thing!’

He braced both boots against the curved wall behind him and unleashed Envy through his gauntlet. The red magic dimmed beneath his palm, its grip on his chest loosening enough for him to drag air into his lungs.

"What the fuck is he doing?!" David shouted.

Kaiden shaped his gauntlet into hooks and drove them into the cracks in the prison. When he pulled, the shell stretched around the hooked tips, refusing to break even as his shoulders began to shake.

"Ghh...!"

He forced more mana into Envy, stripping power from the shell before it could close over his weapon. His gauntleted arm pulled back, then stopped, the muscles beneath his sleeve standing out with the effort.

Yunohana fed more mana into the silver cord around his wrist. Her blessing pushed the shell away from his ribs, giving him the room to wrench one hook lower.

"Keep going, Lord Grey!"

A woman in burgundy stepped from behind David’s shield line. Her skin was deathly pale, and the blood running from one fingertip gathered into a narrow lance as her gaze fixed on Yunohana.

"Watch out!" Alice shouted from across the pond, but the vampire’s lance was already flying at Yunohana.

Yunohana could have left Kaiden’s side before the lance reached her. Her hand remained over the blessing instead, holding the prison away from his chest while she turned enough to keep the attack from taking her through the heart.

The lance punched through her left shoulder.

Yunohana hissed as blood sprayed over the silver cord. The impact twisted her away, but her other hand stayed against Kaiden’s prison and kept feeding the blessing.

"I have you." Pain shook her voice without weakening it. "Break free, Lord Grey!"

Her blood reached his fingers through the crack. Kaiden felt its warmth and looked at the hole in her shoulder, sick with fury at what she had taken for him.

She could have dodged. She had seen the attack coming and stayed because he still needed her hand against that fucking cage.

’You should’ve moved...’

The silver cord dug into his wrist as he pulled. He could still see Yunohana fastening it, her thumb smoothing the knot before she told him she wanted him to remember Japan fondly.

He’d promised her he would keep it. She had looked so happy, and now she was bleeding all over her own gift while trying to keep him alive.

"Keep him inside!" David shrieked. "She’s hurt! Keep shooting!"

Kaiden drove his bare fingers into the weakened crack beside his hooks. The edge split his skin, but he shoved deeper until he could curl his fingers around the other side.

’I’ll kill them. I’ll kill them all.’

The tether jerked the prison backward. Yunohana stumbled after it, still feeding the blessing, and Kaiden tore harder at the shell before it could carry him out of her reach.

"Grrrrhh...!"

Veins bulged along his neck as he hauled his arms apart. His back and shoulders bunched beneath the cloth, every muscle straining against the prison while Envy ate through the magic trying to crush him.

A crack tore past his face. Air struck his cheek, and he wrenched his head through the opening with his teeth bared.

"He’s getting out!"
