Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 393

Chapter 393: Strategy

Kaiden and co barely had time to gather their bearings before the camp came alive as word spread that the briefing was about to begin.

Awakened gathered near the central platform, more than a hundred of them forming a loose semicircle. Weapons reflected in the sun, armor clinked as people moved, and the quiet sounds of anticipation filled the air.

Tessa stepped up first. She carried herself with the authority that came from years of leading. At level 85, she was one of the strongest present despite only having a B-tier class, the Arcane Archer.

But even she glanced to her side when a second figure joined her.

The man wore a deep blue coat and sported a fashionable beard. He was tall, broad-shouldered, and his expression was hard to read. He belonged to Runewoven, named Geralt.

As Talia herself was not a combatant, someone else had to take on the responsibility of leadership.

That duty fell to this man. Level 89, A-tier awakened.

"Thank you for assembling quickly," Tessa began. "We are here for more than just clearing monsters. This mission is a test. Nova Circuit and Runewoven have agreed to stand side by side, and this is the first real chance to prove that our alliance has a future together."

That instantly earned the woman a sharpening of spines from her members and sneers from Runewoven. They all understood that Nova Circuit was the weaker guild, so much so that they were in near financial ruin.

The woman’s words, using this mission to prove that this alliance had merit for both sides, felt hypocritical to their ears.

The man from Runewoven took over. His voice was deep and sharp. His mere presence was enough to silence even the loudest of the whispers from his side, letting Kaiden know he was a real leader who had the obedience of his subordinates.

"The dungeon that broke is further inside the reservation. The pulse can already be felt, but the rift is stable. The monsters that escaped are demonic in nature. Expect twisted beasts, armored fiends, and lesser devils. Based on the readings of the association, their strength will fall between levels fifty and seventy."

He paused, scanning the crowd.

"Our task is simple. Contain the threat. Save the native tribes who still live in the area. And in the process, take this chance to grow. Many of you will gain valuable experience here, and the guilds will benefit as well."

Tessa stepped forward again, sporting a smile. "The good news is that most of you will not need to enter the dungeon, which I’m sure many of you are happy to hear. Going into dungeons is nasty business, especially one with a demonic theme. This one is outright hellish, according to scout reports."

This earned the woman many sighs of relief. All awakened present knew how traumatizing some dungeon environments could be. To them, the awakened combatants, fighting on Earth was a major boon.

Tessa continued, "The threat will end once the boss monster is defeated. At this time, we cannot say with certainty whether it remains inside the rift or has already slipped into the wilds. For that reason, an elite task force has been formed. We will use artifacts to track the boss and bring it down. As for the rest of you, your task is simple. Focus on the horde. Contain the spread. Keep the tribes safe and cut down every lesser creature that crawls into our world."

The two leaders exchanged a brief nod before stepping back. The gathered awakened broke into smaller groups, their chatter rising once more as plans and strategies began forming.

Tessa broke from the other leaders and crossed the field toward Kaiden’s group.

"It’s a pity Rae and Riven aren’t here," she sighed as she came to a stop before them.

Aria giggled, eyes sparkling with understanding. "How opportunistic of you, Tessa. You’re already thinking about how to harness the power of two A-tiers for yourself, aren’t you?"
