Chapter 90

Regardless, Zhixuan pressed his lips to the inside of her thigh and sucked her blood. Cho-i Hyeon looked at his small head and considered just smashing it right there. But with his subordinates below, and the thought of Zhixuan from Jaheon of China dying, she figured it would be a headache, so she decided to stay still for a moment. No, actually, she didn’t stay still and started playing with his long hair.

“More importantly, why are you sucking blood?”

She was asking that quite late. Regardless, Zhixuan seemed to have no intention of answering and continued to just suck blood. The blood he hadn’t managed to suck ran down her thigh.

“Honestly, only one thing comes to mind.”

Cho-i Hyeon grabbed Zhixuan’s long hair from both sides and made them stand up like rabbit ears. Zhixuan frowned as if annoyed, but Cho-i Hyeon didn’t care.

“hidden dungeon.”

At those words, Zhixuan’s eyebrow twitched. His gaze moved upwards.

“It’s true, isn’t it?”

Cho-i Hyeon was quite happy that there was one more unique case like herself. So she gently stroked his hair and asked,

“Which dungeon did you enter? A vampire dungeon? Was there such a place? I don’t think there’s one in Korea.”

Zhixuan was still silently sucking blood, making slurping sounds. Cho-i Hyeon became a little frustrated. So she tapped his head, urging him to answer. She was starting to feel lightheaded from lack of blood. Just how much was he going to drink?

“Stop drinking.”

Cho-i Hyeon grabbed Zhixuan’s hair and lifted him up.

“Ow, ow, ow.”

He feigned pain with blood-stained lips. Cho-i Hyeon looked at her profusely bleeding thigh. The sofa was getting soaked. Come to think of it, hadn’t someone said there was a vein on the inner thigh? And as soon as she thought that, her vision briefly went black.

“Ah.”

Thud. Her body fell backward. Her breath had stopped for a moment due to excessive bleeding. Zhixuan tilted his head slightly. No, hadn’t she said she wouldn’t die? But Cho-i Hyeon’s heartbeat had clearly stopped.

“Hmm, did her regeneration not keep up?”

He calmly searched for a reason, even though Cho-i Hyeon’s breath had stopped. But about ten seconds later…

“Haa.”

Cho-i Hyeon’s breath returned. She opened her eyes wide and shot up into a sitting position.

“You really drank a hell of a lot.”

“…?”

Zhixuan crossed his arms with a look that clearly showed he didn’t understand at all. With his lips stained with blood, he really just looked like a madman. Cho-i Hyeon got up with a grunt. The wound on her inner thigh had long since regenerated, leaving only a little blood.

“Come here, now.”

“Hmm, I’ve reconsidered, and being eaten is still a bit…”

“What, do you want to die? You take two of my lives and then you want to back out?”

“Looking at what you do, it doesn’t seem like a very precious life.”

“That’s just to me. Aren’t you coming here quickly?”

“Ahahaha, no thank you.”

Zhixuan backed away behind the sofa, avoiding her. She stood up and lunged at him. Zhixuan, as expected of an SS-Rank, was faster than Cho-i. She frowned deeply and chased after him. Crash! Thud! The more they rampaged, the more the hotel’s furnishings collapsed and broke. The side table overturned, the vase shattered, and the sofa fell backward. And after a long time of rampaging, Zhixuan, who had been darting away from Cho-i, suddenly came close to her. He wrapped his arms around Cho-i’s waist as she jumped forward, spun her around, and threw her onto the still-standing sofa. Cho-i was pressed against the sofa by his body, and Zhixuan looked down at her. His long hair flowed down beside her.

“No matter what, why are you so confident?”

“What are you talking about, you bastard?”

“You know very well that I’m not an S-Rank, right?”

“Of course I do. You never tried to hide it.”

“Don’t you know that I could just kidnap you, tie you up, and raise you purely as a blood provider?”

Cho-i Hyeon chuckled at that.

“No, you can’t do that.”

At that, Zhixuan asked,

“Because of someone like Taehyeok Sa?”

“No. I only trust myself.”

Cho-i said that and continued speaking.

“Want to eat?”

“Trying to change the subject like that right now…”

“No, not you, you bastard.”

A reply immediately came from within her mind.

‘Prey?’

Cho-i Hyeon’s eyes curved like a crescent moon.

“Yes, the prey has arrived.”

She knew he would answer. She felt her consciousness drifting further and further away. Ah, but who will clean this up? Even as she thought that, she immediately thought of Taehyeok Sa. Taehyeok Sa will do it, she thought. With that comforting thought, Cho-i let go for a moment. And naturally, there was a being that took over her body.

“Hello?”

Her eyes widened. Her eyes were all whites. Zhixuan quickly recoiled at the strange sensation that enveloped his body. But the Entity’s hand was faster. Bang! The Entity grabbed his wrist and threw him against the wall, smashing it. The wall broke and his body collapsed.

“Ugh…!”

Before Zhixuan could get up, Cho-i Hyeon’s Shadow fell over his body. The Entity grabbed his neck and lifted him. Zhixuan frowned deeply and tried to twist Cho-i Hyeon’s wrist, but her wrist held his neck without the slightest movement.

“This is another new male, isn’t it?”

The Entity’s manner of speech had now become similar to Cho-i Hyeon’s. The rough, scratching sound in its throat remained, but the innocent tone was quite similar.

“This is, *gasp*, what else…?”

“My prey.”

The Entity looked at Zhixuan with what seemed like affection. The Entity’s head tilted, and soon its mouth opened. Small, neat teeth were visible. They didn’t look like an animal’s, but the black throat did look like an entrance to something. Crunch, gnash. Soon, a sound was heard.

***

Bang-!There was an explosion from the top floor of a hotel in the middle of Seoul. Taehyeok Sa, Yeonhan Kim, and Dongju Kim, who were waiting in cars nearby for Cho-i Hyeon, simultaneously jumped out of their vehicles.

“Aaaah!”

“What the!”

People fled to avoid the falling debris from above, and Taehyeok Sa blocked some of it with Telekinesis. Seeing Taehyeok Sa appear, people breathed a sigh of relief and began to evacuate the area. Among them were some who, disoriented, immediately pulled out their smartphones, but they were quietly dealt with by Dongju Kim and Yeonhan Kim. Dongju Kim and Yeonhan Kim simultaneously rushed into the hotel, while Taehyeok Sa used Telekinesis to lift himself and head straight to the top floor.The side of the hotel’s top floor was completely collapsed. And through the completely collapsed wall, a figure was faintly visible.

“Cho-i Hyeon!”

Taehyeok Sa called out to her, but there was no answer. And then, once again, Bang! A loud noise came from inside. Taehyeok Sa entered the penthouse through the collapsed hole. Everything inside was overturned and broken, with nothing left intact. Taehyeok Sa first spotted Zhixuan, who was standing with her back to him. Zhixuan was literally covered in blood, with numerous marks all over her body as if she had been mauled by a beast. And in front of her…

“This is driving me crazy.”

Cho-i Hyeon, with her eyes rolled back and blood smeared around her mouth, stood there smiling.

“You came too?”

The Entity asked in a cheerful tone. Its imitation of Cho-i Hyeon was chilling. The Entity seemed even more pleased by Taehyeok Sa’s arrival, clasping its hands together and resting them against one cheek as it spoke.

“I’m touched that you’ve all gathered for me.”

“Sorry, but Cho-i Hyeon doesn’t say things like that.”

At that, the Entity’s expression instantly turned blank.

“Oh really?”

The Entity’s face, devoid of its smile, looked like that of a dead person, but soon a painted-on smile reappeared on her face.

“Yes, you must be the strongest males in this world.”

The Entity said.

“You can’t stop the Calamity anyway.”

“You’re saying the same thing as last time.”

“You’re far too inadequate.”

The Entity began to approach them, stepping over the debris. Zhixuan slowly retreated and asked Taehyeok Sa, who was standing behind her.

“If you had something like that, you should have told us.”

“Would you have believed me if I had?”

“The Entity is the same. So, do you have a plan?”

“I do have a plan.”

“What is it?”

“To hold out until the unconscious Cho-i Hyeon wakes up.”

“That’s not usually called a plan.”

“I think the one who touched her is talking too much.”

“Damn it.”

Zhixuan uttered a curse for the first time. Taehyeok Sa subtly glanced at Zhixuan. He had anticipated this situation ever since he called for Cho-i Hyeon. There was no way Cho-i Hyeon could survive against a hunter who had concealed their SS-Rank, no, no. This was the only way she could endure. However,

‘Isn’t he misusing it without any awareness?’

He seemed to have no hesitation about his body being controlled. Taehyeok Sa thought about the nagging he would give Cho-i Hyeon once he woke up, then straightened his posture. Ding- But then, there was the sound of the elevator moving. Men in black suits poured in from the door on the left of the open area. It seemed they had found out there was a problem on the upper floor and had come up to deal with it instead of Zhixuan.

“You idiots! Get down now!”

But before they could answer his shouts, the Entity immediately leaped forward and swung its arm at them.

Boom! Once again, a loud explosion erupted, and half of the remaining area was blown away. What was left were corpses with their upper bodies gone.
