Readying their guns, the party started to make their way through the tunnels with Madison at the front.

  Activating the Impure King Armour, she had it focused on speed for now as they weren’t in combat.

  Black armour started to wrap around her body as jet boosters appeared around her back and waist area. Since Madison chose the speed variant, the armour looked quite slim with most of the armoured pieces hugging her body, accentuating her curves to the party, especially her bosom.

  There were a few sheets of nanotech that hung off her waist which looked somewhat like a skirt of sorts but Shiro knew that they could double as waist mounted cannons should the situation arise.

  As the suit finished assembling itself, the visor on the helmet lit up with a shade of red which made it seem like the helmet of a berserker. In addition to this, there was a soft red glow between each of the assembled pieces, giving the armour a demonic feel.

  "I must say, Impure King fits the armour quite nicely. She really does look like an Impure King or rather, Impure Queen." Aarim raised her eyebrow.

  "Really? Rather than king, I’d say it reminds me more of demons. After all, her class is Demonic Valkyrie." Shiro raised her eyebrow.

  {Real conspicuous there oh empress of mine.} Nimue rolled her eyes.

  ’What? I need to ease them into the idea first.’


  "There’s a radar in the upper right corner. I’ve already marked the demon signatures so you should see a few red dots in the distance. Use that to your advantage." Shiro smiled as she narrowed her eyes and aimed her gun forward.

  "Give me a second, someone’s trying to put a ’mark’ on us."

  Transforming her hand cannon into a sniper, she pulled the trigger.

  *BANG!!!

  Watching the bullet fly through the cave walls, they could faintly hear the sound of a scream in the distance as one of the red dots on Madison’s radar disappeared.

  "Huh???" Looking back at Shiro, Madison blinked her eyes twice just to make sure her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her.

  "What? I’ve already mapped out the entire underground area in my mind. With the penetrating power of the sniper, I can ignore walls and shoot them you know? It ain’t like the walls here are made from dungeon material." Shiro shrugged before knocking a piece off the stone walls.

  "True." Madison nodded as she grabbed her shield and shotgun.

  "We’ll go easy first so follow my lead. Once you get used to using the guns and the armour, you can start doing your own thing ok?" Shiro smiled since she trusts the party’s combat potential. Once they get used to the guns and how they should fight with them, it should be a piece of cake for the party to handle the demons. With the exception of the A classed ones of course.

  Dashing toward, Shiro activated Analysis and peered past the walls. Seeing the demonic signatures charging towards them after her initial shot, Shiro had a grin on her face.

  "They’re coming!" She shouted out.

  Readying her two hand cannons, she aimed them forward and pulled the trigger.

  *BANG BANG!!!

  Seeing a spray of blood in the distance, Shiro knew that she had hit her mark.

  Glancing towards her Monster title, she was overjoyed to see her tally go up by two from the kill.

  ’Perfect.’ She thought to herself as the party readied their guns as well.

  Dashing behind Shiro, the 9 of them charged through the first wave of demons that appeared.

  Changing her armour to be defensive, the jet boosters morphed into floating shields that kept the demon at bay while her shotgun made short work of them. Each shot would tear off a large chunk of their body as flesh was plastered against the walls.

  During this, Madison couldn’t help but notice that a few demons were looking at her with shock and disbelief on their faces before they died. This confused her but she dismissed it as them being shocked that they have such powerful weapons.

  Running through the cavern, the party noticed that there was a large open area just around the corner where quite a few of the demons are located.

  Glancing toward Helion, Shiro nodded her head as he grinned.

  Throwing the orb in front of him, he watched as the twin miniguns and mounted rail cannons assembled themselves.

  Immediately understanding his intentions, Madison charged in front of the turret and activated the one way shield. That way, he could fire at the demons while the demons can’t fire at him.

  "Burn f*ckers burn!" Helion called out with a grin and pulled the trigger.

  Watching the barrel spin up, the demons had a bad feeling as they wanted to retreat but it was too late.

  A wave of bullets was sent into the room as their plated armour was like paper in front of the intense barrage. For those that could fend against the bullet with their natural physique, they tried their best to close the gap but the rail cannons responded by evaporating their upper torso.

  "So if you don’t mind me asking, how come the guns are more powerful than I remember? These are still B classed Demons no?" Lyrica asked while shooting a few demons that tried to carve a hole through the side.

  "Both of my classes have merged so I assume that my nanobots gained a buff. Plus, my nanotech attunement is tier 6 which is in a whole new realm all together so I’m not surprised at the power of my guns. If anything, I can make them stronger with a few modifications. After all, I still need to figure out the advantages my class gives me. It’s something that no one has ever achieved so you can say that I’m beta testing." Shiro replied with a chuckle.

  However, her musing was cut short when several powerful signatures started to approach from the distance.

  "We’re going to go with small skirmishes now. The big wigs have noticed. You take care of the small fry, I’ll deal with the A classed demons. Those with snipers can assist me and don’t worry about hitting me. I’m pretty confident in dodging a bullet." Shiro chuckled.

  Slamming her hands down, she activated her Tectonic Quake Attunement and started to adjust the underground cavern to their advantage.

  Opening up the area a lot more, she started to add tall walls and sharp corners so that her party could surprise the demons with their guns. Jumping into the air, she wrapped her body in a suit of armour as well, one that boosted her speed so that she could avoid getting hit as much as possible.

  Nodding to each other, the party started to split up as Helion noticed that he could just use one of the miniguns instead of mounting everything to the group.

  Pulling the mini gun off the turret and returning everything into the orb, Helion started to run towards some cover.

  "With that minigun of yours, I don’t think you’ll be very good at dodging spells no?" Madison laughed as she raised her eyebrow.

  "Isn’t that what you’re here for m’lady?" Helion smiled and pointed towards her shield.

  "If I’m not here, Silvi will need to resurrect your ass if you make a mistake. Plus, aren’t you supposed to be the front line like me? What kind of man hides behind a woman?" Madison shrugged.

  "All the women in this party are abnormal so you can’t use common sense."

  "Agreed. Well since I’m your front line, care to hit the long distance ones for me?" Madison smiled while raising her shield to block some spells.

  "Of course."

  Watching the two synergise with each other’s strengths, Shiro couldn’t help but raise her eyebrow as Madison made up for a minigun’s weakness with her shields.

  Making sure that the rest of the party was doing well, Shiro had a smile on her face since this was quite a nice team bonding exercise.

  Unfortunately, it might be cut short due to the fact that all the A class demons are making their way here.

  ’Madison’s identity should be revealed soon.’ Shiro mused to herself.

  After waiting for a short moment, Shiro came face to face with two demons who seemed relatively normal if not for the fact that they had demonic wings sprouting behind them.

  "A queen. Powerful one at that too." The Older Demon narrowed his eyes at Shiro before turning to Madison.

  Taking a deep breath, he opened his mouth as a loud voice bellowed out.

  "Princess! Why are you slaughtering your own kind!?" He shouted out with anger and annoyance in voice.

  ". . ."

  Silence enveloped the party as everyone stopped their shooting and glanced towards Madison who froze up from his shout.

  Turning towards the Older Demon, Madison removed her helmet.

  "Who’s the princess?" She asked.

  "You are." The Older demon replied with a frown as he didn’t know why Madison would ask such a question.

  "Me?" Madison pointed as herself.

  "Yes you."

  "The f*ck?????"
