Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Combined Assault

"[Lunar Arc]!" Aria intoned while aiming at the bleeding eye socket that Nyx’s masterful assault had left behind.

"[Doom Strike]!" Kaiden jumped at the monster, swinging his War Axe with all his might.

Nyx was in the middle of conducting a power struggle against the mauler as it refused to let go of her dagger, keeping it under its left paw.

Aria’s projectile hit its mark, driving deep into the monster’s eye socket. The moon-themed spell pushed through and left a severe wound on its skull. Copious amounts of blood gushed forth.

Kaiden’s follow-up came at the perfect time. He gritted his teeth and gripped the handle so tightly that numerous veins popped on his arm. The result of his strike spoke for itself—he hit the monster in the side of its head with so much force he pierced right through its skull so deeply the edge of his pick emerged from its eye.

The beast whimpered weakly for a second before losing all strength in its body and crumbling to the ground lifelessly.

[You’ve slain Silverback Mauler (Level 5). You’ve gained 1100 XP.]

Kaiden finally allowed himself to relax, collapsing to the ground. His chest heaved from the intense exertion, and as soon as the immediate danger passed, his injuries hit him mercilessly. For a long time now, his body was fueled by nothing but adrenaline.

His ribs were most certainly fractured at best, if not outright broken. The initial attack of the beast hit him the worst. If Kaiden had bought a light armor instead of a medium one, he would’ve died—the metal chest plate he thought would prove to be more than enough for their first dungeon descent was in tatters.

"Kai!" Aria shouted worriedly before running up to him.

"Hold on, Kai!" Nyx did the same and started rummaging through his backpack. "Drink this!" she instructed while uncorking the low-tier health potion Luna had left behind with him. She took one of each while giving him the other half.

Nyx held the potion to his lips and gently tilted it so he could gulp down its contents with as little effort of his own as possible. "Aria, can you help by watching for threats? Beasts can jump at us from the bushes or even from treetops."

The Scarlet fangirl’s many hours spent fawning over awakened and their dungeon clears gave her some secondhand experience. Nyx knew that despite their victory, they were not out of danger—not at all.

"I’m okay... The potion is working... Thanks..." Kaiden grunted between pained wheezes. A low-tier potion was only helpful for light wounds, and its effects would materialize much slower than a high-tier potion’s would. It was still much better than nothing, though.

"I got 1100 XP..." Kaiden said with wonderment in his tone.

"900 here. It’s an amazing gain!" Nyx replied with a happy smile. If her boyfriend could think about his XP gains, then he was in a better condition than she assumed.

The amount of XP one gained depended on multiple factors. Firstly, the difference in levels. The bigger the gap between the slayer and the slain, the more rewards the slayer gets.
