Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 844

Chapter 844: Two Hammers

The front row was likely the weakest set of champions the Kaiju had, and it had taken two of his girls, two card buffs, and his Lust Stance to kill one of them in eight minutes.

’I need to be smarter about this.’

Spending all his cards in a 2v1 situation would quickly ruin their chances.

"Done."

The word came from behind his chair, small and proud.

Alexandra pulled her palms from his wrist with golden light fading from her fingertips, and the wound she’d been nursing since before the first turn was closed, new skin sealing what had been open.

Her first completed heal, and her hands weren’t even shaking anymore.

"Healed." She stared at her own handiwork like she couldn’t quite believe it. Then her face hardened. "And if you ever do that again, I will let you bleed."

"Noted."

"I mean it! And stop smiling!"

Kaiden did not stop smiling.

Alexandra huffed, folded her arms, and resumed her station behind his chair, where her indignation lasted roughly three seconds before she saw Luna bleeding on the board and her blue eyes went wide.

Golden light sputtered from her fingertips toward the tiny figure, stretching across the board’s surface.

Nothing reached her. The light hit the game’s boundary and dispersed.

She tried again, harder, both palms pushing forward. Same result.

"You can’t heal them, it appears. Would make the ’game’ rather cheap..." Kaiden sighed.

Alexandra’s hands dropped. She stared at Luna’s wounds from across the board, and the helplessness on her face was open enough that Kaiden made a decision.

He drew a blade across his other forearm, the one she hadn’t just finished healing. A significantly bigger red line opened on the skin.

"KAIDEN GREY!!!"

Golden light was already at her palms before she finished screaming his name, reflex overriding fury as she grabbed his arm and pressed down.

"You- I literally JUST- why would you-"

"You need to practice."

Kaiden wasn’t just trolling her. He knew she needed practice and he wasn’t fighting right now, so he thought he might as well.

It was not the time to have her stand around twiddling her thumbs when her healing capabilities could end up deciding life or death.

Alexandra’s healing hands didn’t stop while her glare could have scorched the board.

"You’re getting faster."

Her glare intensified.

"Kai."

Nyx’s voice carried up from her square, calm and precise. She’d been studying the same pieces from four inches tall and five rows closer.

"The front three will push forward next in a straight line, I think." She tilted her chin toward C2, C3, C4. "We can send ranged support the same way Aria joined the last fight. But its back four are likely much stronger than us four in the back... If it joins a fight and we match with our own ranged, it’s a 2v2 where their side outweighs ours."

She let that sit for a beat.
