Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 528

Chapter 528: Time to Begin

The alliance’s officers did not hesitate to include Kaiden’s party in the newbie track. While his level at 46 might not have been the highest of the highs, as he and his party only started leveling a couple of months ago instead of the full year, none doubted their competence.

Somehow, they always pulled through.

By this point, no one among the two guild management wanted to question their ability, even if they logically did not understand most of what was going on with them.

And those few who might’ve raised a few arguments were already under orders to shut it down by their two leaders. Tessa and Talia knew better than anyone that it was best not to begin such dumb arguments. Their belief in Kaiden was that firm.

Talia clapped her hands once, sharp enough to snap the discussion back into order. "Alright. With Kaiden’s six, we need fourteen more who qualify as newbies to round out the team of twenty."

"I’m sorry," Kaiden cut in. "But we’re seven now."

A ripple of confusion passed through the officers.

Tessa blinked. "Huh?"

Before anyone could follow up, the dark halo floating above Kaiden’s head pulsed before erupting with a clean burst of white radiance. Then a voice, bright and girlish and absolutely unbothered, chimed through the hall.

"Hehe! Sorry, I care too little about you for a proper greeting, but you can just call me Kai’s Guardian Angel!"

"..."

Silence.

Absolute silence.

Then the entire hall reacted the exact same way.

Not with shock... not fully.

Not with confusion, though there was plenty of that.

What dominated the room was exhaustion.

Tessa’s hand slid down her face.

Talia pressed two fingers into her temple like she felt a migraine forming.

Several strategists slumped in their seats.

A handful of crafters muttered curses in three different languages.

Someone in the back audibly said, "Not again..."

It wasn’t that they weren’t surprised, of course, they were, but the people who knew Kaiden had passed the point where ’shock’ was an active emotion. They were drained. Spiritually. Existentially. Emotionally. Every time they thought they were beginning to grasp the outer edges of Kaiden’s nonsense, he returned with a brand-new development that slammed all their understanding straight back to zero.

A talking halo.

Sure.

Why not.

Of course.

One man finally gathered what remained of his sanity to raise a question.

"Uh... wait. Are... talking artifacts counted as awakened? And the two monster ladies... are they even qualified to participate?"

Aria had an answer locked and loaded. "I asked the Association on our way here. Because the two of them underwent a unique transformation during their subjugation and since their power level is close to ours, they fall under the same classification as newly awakened humanoids. They’re cleared for combat participation in the newbie track."

The man slowly nodded, relieved that at least something in this group had paperwork behind it. "Alright... alright, that makes sense. But then, what about the..."

His eyes drifted upward toward the rotating halo.

He hesitated.

He looked at Kaiden.

He looked back at the halo.

His lips parted.
