Chapter 450: Best Friends
Calypso’s joy was infectious. "Come," she chirped while waving her hand with a theatrical flourish. "Let me show you what this home looks like!"
Her excitement made it impossible not to follow. Luna, Aria, and Bastet trailed behind her with a mix of reluctance, curiosity, and awe.
They passed through echoing corridors lined with infernal carvings, each wall depicting scenes of ancient conquests and endless night.
Luna whistled. "Okay, this is way cooler than I expected. We’re in a literal demonic castle! You could really host a final boss in here."
"Yeah, like one named the ’Infernal Matriarch’?" Calypso cooed slyly. "Now it’ll house the new boss, the Paragon of Sin, his Infernal Matriarch and Valkyries... Oh, and I guess his tanned kitty will be sunbathing somewhere around here as well."
Bastet’s eyes narrowed into fiery slits. This newcomer didn’t know her place!
As the two monster girls got into it, Aria smirked at Luna. "You realize there’s no internet here, right? Or electricity. At least until we figure out how to power anything."
The gamer girl froze. "Wait... no internet?"
Calypso looked confused. "Inter... what?"
Luna’s face fell dramatically. "That’s bad. Like, really bad."
Then, after a moment, she shrugged. The Storm Valkyrie realized that she had much bigger things on her plate than figuring out how to continue playing video games in this place. They were international figures now, wanted by many organizations.
Furthermore, playing video games was lacking in comparison to progressing as an awakened. Leveling up in real life was a much more satisfying thing to do. Gaming, to her, went from her most beloved hobby - perhaps besides enjoying her adult toy collection - to being one hobby among many others.
