Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 857

Chapter 857: Charge

The Kaiju grew with every step of the charge, and it had already been the largest living thing any human had ever seen.

Kaiden ran at the heart of his army and watched it sharpen out of the pale distance: four legs the size of skyscrapers, a hide of raw stone carapace, six burning eyes, each of which was much bigger than Kaiden himself.

The world had met this creature when it stood up out of a mountain range it had been wearing as a disguise, and it had eaten twenty dungeons on its way to his door.

Humanity had named it Kaiju because no smaller word fit.

Its chest swelled.

Kaiden knew what came next.

"Monoliths, move to the front!"

The order ran through the ranks, and the fortress-variant Maulfiends slammed down into a wall of obsidian plating across the army’s face just as the howl arrived.

It hit as pressure first, a rolling cliff of force that turned the air white where it compressed, and the Monolith rank slid backward a full meter with their plating shrieking against the floor.

"Behind me!" Nyx shouted, folding space along the formation’s heart so the wavefront split around the girls like a river around a blade, and even then enough of the sound got through to stagger half the rear line.

Behind the army, forty-six Dungeon-Born went down on one knee behind their shields with blood running from their ears, and the line began to slide.

Taigi’s voice cracked across her warriors, hoarse and furious, holding them in place by sheer will.

"STAND! We were useless the whole war, this is our only chance!"

Not one of them broke formation.

Kaiden’s hand tightened on his greatsword as the pressure faded. His eyes flicked once to the rear where his weakest and bravest were already pushing back upright.

He’d built the back line around what the Dungeon-Born could actually help with: carry the wounded, guard the healer, run the lines.

For now, they were out of their depth in a fight like this. There had been no time to rank them up, and no Dungeon Master option he’d unlocked could make them more than they were.

Alexandra stood in the center of their ring with golden light already pooled in both palms, and for the first time since this duel began, nothing separated her from the wounded who needed her.

Through the entire Gambit she had stood beside the board, pushing her light against a boundary that refused her over and over while the girls bled on the other side of it. There was no boundary here. Her hands were steady.

The Kaiju charged.

A creature that size had no business accelerating like that, but Kaiden had watched it clear dozens of miles in a single leap once, and the memory kept him on guard.

The ground quaked in long waves ahead of its footfalls, and he sent the Maulfiend ranks forward to break the first one before it reached the line.

They were armor. That was the cold arithmetic of it. The front rank caught the stomp’s shockwave on raised mauls and obsidian shoulders, and six of them died in the same second, plating folded flat like foil.

[Unit losses: Maulfiend x6.]

"Make it count!" Luna shouted, and the Quakelords answered the next footfall with their own, hammering the floor in unison so the counter-shock met the Kaiju’s wave head-on and broke it into harmless ripples.

Stone spikes erupted in belts across the creature’s path. Nightclaw flights poured over the formation with the Gorefiends diving ahead, and the Nightshrouds went for the crown, bleeding darkness across six burning eyes in overlapping black veils.

The Kaiju tore through the spike belts without slowing, and Kaiden reached into Lust Stance and pulled.

Warmth roared down five bonds at once, and he shaped it the way the Gambit had taught him: speed into Luna, density into Aria, pressure into Nyx, escalation into Calypso, weight into Bastet.

The drain lit up behind his sternum immediately, a deep burn that would only grow, and he welcomed it, because the system paid every buff back to its source. Six Sin Fusions burned across this battlefield, and each one of them made him stronger too.
