Ch. 24 The New Swarm
After they had been disarmed it didn't take long for either of the genderless creatures to die. Looting them both... Somehow I got equipment from the named "footrest" and of course the incubus horns, bloodline and the previously mentioned testicles got removed from loot drop due to the attacks. Of course I also got incubus skin. Incubus king skin is actually not far off of what I need to kill a bunch of incubus to get. It's just barely a peak epic grade a few of these and I'll have a peak legendary grade incubus skin. As for the horns and bloodline? same... Granted that does leave me to believe that Ela's bloodline is peak epic... Huh... Sadly for her she's not with me anymore. Without my luck the chances of her getting a bloodline from a monster is actually about 0.01%... luck is so useful... granted if it wasn't useful the karmic god wouldn't be so worshipped after all the monks under it don't get a special element like everyone else and have a extremely strict life style. However they get "body tempering" techniques and amazing skills for fist fighting along with some interesting utility and movement skills. Like I said though their karmic god preaches kindness and karma and all that and all his follows get immense luck and charisma bonus for it. If it wasn't for the lack of any sort of element and strict melee skill set their karma of one branch would probably be the most followed path in the game... It's a very famous path that many just call the demonic monks... Basically they only have to follow on their own karmic interests which means anyone that wrongs them they must get revenge on no matter how small and the reverse. They are commonly seen as the best mercenaries in the game as they cannot back out of a deal unless it's harmful towards themselves or they abandon their entire path. The deal can't be backed out of just because they don't get as much money as if they killed the employer or any nonesense like that but if they stand no chance of completing the deal without dieing then they can back out of it. Due to their faith they work backwards to most mercenaries though. You have to pay them before they do the job. Otherwise how is it that they need to do it? You haven't benefited or helped them. The most common way people get ripped off when they hire a demonic monk is equal exchange... If the money isn't beneficial to them enough they can be considered to have related you the moment they agreed to meet. The main reason some people don't join religion other then the extreme cases like Affie's choice is because the quests they offer are all forced. If you fail, abandon or refuse a religious quest you receive a penalty. Which is why placing your money in a demonic monks hand can be quite difficult. As the moment they have something that benefits them they are forced by a religious quest to help you. Even without agreeing or accepting the quest. If they accept the request they have no way but the previous mentioned to back out but if they don't they will loose levels stats or skills and be required to give back your stuff. Granted that in itself can be considered a very good reason for a demonic monk to hunt you so they are then immediately forced into a quest to kill you if they fail again the karmic scale goes further and further into the red and that's how some demonic monks loose all their levels. Which is why they have a large alliance situation going on the moment a demonic monk is forced into that kind of a rut and you don't let them kill you after already failing the kill quest once then you become a kill on sight for hundreds of millions of players and billions of NPCs that chose that path... Which is the main reason people don't pick fights with them...
Anyways I've found myself knee deep in pussy before I knew it as I left the gay dude hall and ran into more summoners this time the summoners aren't old ment though but lolis... the lolis summon tons of lesser succubi... The lolis themselves are technically clothed but they appear to be wearing the same clothes as the lesser succubi which thankfully isn't the see through slut bikini that most succubi queens wear... it's kinda weird to think that demons have a uniform now that I think about it... I wonder who picked their uniforms... In the lore of course... I know it was either the ai or a designer who worked with the ai during the games creation. Granted the designers actually don't know what they made the system used the original players dreams as a way to quickly design intricate maps of course the dreams were lead to be a specific way. So that it wouldn't be a chaotic cluster fuck of dumb shit... Then the players were granted a bonus to exp for as long as their maps weren't discovered by a player. Some of the original players supposedly still have the exp bonus to this day. Granted that would make them like 300 years old so maybe that's a lie... The human lifespan is a mystery now days the only one who knows is the ai in charge of system. We do know how many humans there currently are though. The population didn't shrink... Despite all living in boxes humans can still breed as the boxes allow the stimulus from the game to effect the real body then transport the required *cough* materials to the mother's womb. Or the other ways like how Affie and Crys did it. The npc children program is only a thing given to barren women or couples or lonely men who want a kid but have no other options they desire to use. Oh there's also the surrogate thing... Women with no partners can choice to have a child for another couple or a lonely man and they give up all responsibility or rights to the child. Granted that can be either the cheapest option or the most expensive I've been told there's very large fluctuations of "rent" prices depending on a woman's self worth.
As I narrate nonesense inside my head for way to long I've successfully downed my first group of loli summoners... Who... Don't become decrepit when they stop summoning but hot... Not they don't stay as lolis you perverts they take up a similar shape to succubi queens and seem to go crazy as they only know how to attack physically I got hit when I got shocked seeing a cute loli turn into a naked hot momma hulk style and figured out thankfully that they don't have the same powers as a succubus queen. So they went down easily and then I kept going forward onward to the Lustful? This is gonna be either better or much worse then the last boss... Here's hoping no lolis have been lewded... Granted summoners being with the boss is already a major issue... I'm also hoping there's no succubi queen there as that would make it very difficult for me to fight... Unless of course I abandoned my entire future and drank the incubus bloodline now... lol... Not an option just a fun jab at a dumb choice... I'm sure even if there is a succubus I can find a way to down her... Now for the main question... If the swarm of the summoners has something to do with the boss... How did the Enthralled gay bear have anything to do with devouring... Or the old men... I mean Gluttony is assumed to be their sin... But what kind of gluttony clearly the Enthralled bear was more lustful then gluttonous... Did they perhaps really enjoy eating ass? ... Yep that's as far as I'ma think about that subject... here's hoping for my own mental and emotional stability they were just all canabals... I dislike the idea of killing gay men just for being gay... They should be evil gay men... At the very least... I mean sure the old men were summoning demons and the demon was mind controlling that bear dude... But I think based on the scroll that all these demon are just cattle for the crimson to eat... And that the human disciples of Gjorn are just general disliked everywhere. Gjorn was a piece of shit... I doubt he teaches people and they become saints. Speaking of... Why does my main quest right now include a lot of spirt based materials and undead things and then one pot made from clay from a saintess basement? That seems like a weird out of the wall kinda scenario... After all it is kinda it's most important ingredient it and the blood are the final key components to the compass... And while blood does seem inherently evil... Ooo blood magic scary... Blood is kinda like the most important thing for most parts of the game... Holy bloodlines can only be obtains as vials of blood after all and those are holy by nature... Granted most those vials drop from killing a light element creature or if you wanna get really high in the light element category you can go ahead and get an angel bloodline... Weak angels aren't hard to find and farm... If you follow the light faith though you will find it's twice as hard as everyone else to farm that bloodline seeing as you have to hunt the fallen angels and purify their blood. Granted many paths have there own best bloodline more difficult to get... Some suggest it's to prevent people from going to far into one direction without putting in the effort. If you wanna reach the peak of the mountain you must tread farther then anyone else kinda scenario... Of course other just say that it's only easier for everyone else because it becomes downgraded to a catalyst ingredient as the rarer bloodlines are bound to the person who looted them.
