Into the Creations 1690

Chapter 1690 – 1690. Hunter Vs Vampire

“Seo Yujin!!”

Just as Joo Seo-hyun was about to rush after Seo Yujin, four vampires appeared, blocking her path.

“Butcher…!”

The vampires who had blocked her way hesitated when they faced Joo Seo-hyun. The Butcher Joo Seo-hyun’s infamy was well-known among the vampires. There wasn’t a single vampire who didn’t know the story of how over ten vampires had attacked Joo Seo-hyun to kill her, but failed.

“Don’t back down! She’s alone! If we can’t kill her, we’ll die at Yana-nim’s hands! You know how cruel Yana-nim is, right? It’s better to die at her hands!”

“Damn it! I didn’t become a vampire for this!”

“It’s too late to shout now! Charge at once!”

The four vampires charged at her simultaneously.

Joo Seo-hyun gritted her teeth and ran towards them. She was pushing herself harder than usual. Normally, she would have taken a breath and countered the enemy’s attacks. That was the most efficient way to fight against vampires who relied on their physical strength. But now, she was impatient.

‘The Seo Yujin now isn’t the Seo Yujin from Atlantis!’

Even though she felt impatient, the combat skills engraved in her body didn’t disappear. Her feet moved perfectly, following the footwork as she approached the vampires, and her hand drew her sword from her waist. The sword, sliding out of its scabbard, was faster than the wind, slicing across the neck of the vampire in front.

Another vampire’s hand aimed for Joo Seo-hyun’s right forearm. The moment she was grabbed by the vampire’s hand, her forearm would be crushed.

‘Instant acceleration.’

She used the ability she had since birth. It was an ability she had developed by observing Seo Yujin’s moments. Her time sped up. And relatively, the world’s time slowed down.

Joo Seo-hyun had to make a quick decision. Unlike Seo Yujin, she couldn’t maintain this accelerated world for more than three seconds. In that short time, she found the optimal sword path.

The blade shone. The sword light rotated in a circle around Joo Seo-hyun. The vampires’ arms that touched the circle were cut off, and their bodies were marked with sword wounds. Vampire blood splattered, staining Joo Seo-hyun’s suit.

She had dealt with all the vampires and was about to go out the window when something moved on the floor with a dragging sound.

Joo Seo-hyun swung her sword. An arm that had been crawling on the floor shot upwards. It was a vampire’s arm. Joo Seo-hyun clicked her tongue. It was a mistake. She was too hasty and hadn’t confirmed the vampire’s death. She moved to kill the vampire.

The face of the vampire lying on the floor turned black. The best surprise attack had failed. He opened his mouth urgently.

“B-Butcher! Aren’t you curious about your partner’s life?!”

Joo Seo-hyun didn’t waver. Her eyes became even colder. Her mind, which had been clouded by impatience, began to work coldly again.

“If it’s Yana, she’ll know. That woman wouldn’t kill Seo Yujin right away. If she had intended to kill Seo Yujin from the start, there would have been no need to capture her.”

“Y-Yana-nim’s goal isn’t your partner, it’s you!”

“I know that without you telling me. We have a bad history.”

“Spare me! I’ll guide you to where Yana-nim is!”

“Don’t lie. You don’t know where Yana is.”

Joo Seo-hyun had a confident expression. The vampire instinctively knew he couldn’t persuade her.

“…How do you know so well?”

“I told you. We have a bad history.”

Joo Seo-hyun’s sword cut the vampire’s neck.

Joo Seo-hyun looked out the window. She couldn’t sense any trace of the one who had kidnapped Seo Yujin. She looked at the floor. There weren’t even any footprints. Unfortunately, she didn’t have the skill to track the disappeared vampire.

She waited quietly in that spot. She didn’t rashly contact the company to request support. Given Yana’s personality, the moment additional support arrived from the company, she would kill Seo Yujin.

‘If Yana’s goal is me, she’ll contact me. This situation is similar to the incident in Russia.’

Beep beep beep beep!

A phone rang from one of the vampire corpses. Joo Seo-hyun rummaged through the vampire’s clothes and picked up the phone. It was a flip phone, a model from before smartphones. It was definitely a burner phone.

“……”

Joo Seo-hyun opened the phone and answered the call. A woman’s laughter came from the speaker.

-Long time no see, Butcher.

“Where are you?”

-Don’t be noisy and listen to me.

“……”

Joo Seo-hyun closed her mouth.

Yana.

A noble-class vampire from Russia. Her infamy within the company was immense. In Russia, she had kidnapped Jaeger’s child, taken them hostage, and killed Jaeger and the children. It was best not to provoke her rashly.

-I wonder what kind of expression you’re making right now? Is it like my face with my arm cut off by you? It’s a shame I can’t see your face right now.

In the past, Joo Seo-hyun had failed to kill Yana and had let her escape.

“……”

-Butcher. You were the most annoying one I’ve ever seen. You were too perfect. Beautiful, strong, and without family or friends, you were flawless. But, oh my god. You got a partner? And a partner you chose yourself? I knew it the moment I saw the photos of you and your partner taken from afar. You two, you’re lovers, right?

“You’re wrong. That guy and I aren’t like that.”

-Then what kind of relationship is it?

“……Enemies. That guy is my enemy. An enemy I have to kill myself, with my own hands.”

So she couldn’t let him die at Yana’s hands. Seo Yujin had to die by her hands.

-Huh? Ahahahahaha! Do you think such a lie will work on me? You damn bitch! If you want to deceive me, hide your trembling voice first! You’re terrible at acting. You can’t do anything but swing a sword, can you? You’re just like the Butcher.

“……”

Yana cursed at Joo Seo-hyun for a long time.

Joo Seo-hyun listened to Yana’s curses silently. She had a strong feeling that Yana was buying time while cursing at her.

Whenever Joo Seo-hyun tried to move, Yana would say as if she were a ghost.

-Don’t move from there.

About five minutes passed like that.

Yana’s cursing finally ended.

-He’s here, your man. So this is your type? He’s not as good as I thought. What’s so good about this man?

“I told you. That guy is my enemy.”

-Ah, yes, yes. So that’s how you’re going to play it? Then go ahead. Here’s your man’s voice.

-Kkyaaaak!

Seo Yujin’s scream echoed. Joo Seo-hyun reflexively reached for the sword at her waist.

-Sorry. His finger broke. Human bodies are so weak.

“……”

-They say love and hate are just a paper-thin difference. You’re not saying he’s your enemy because of that, are you? Hmm. Should I take revenge on your enemy for you?

“Don’t do anything unnecessary. That guy has to die by my hands.”

-Don’t put so much force in your voice. Your killing intent is coming through the phone. Ah, is that killing intent towards me? Or towards your enemy?

“……”

-Not answering? Well, whatever. Let’s meet in person. Don’t contact the company and come to the place written in the text. If you do anything unnecessary, or if you’re late for the appointment, your man will die.

Click.

The call ended. And less than ten seconds later, a text message arrived. It had the time and hotel name written on it.

‘A luxury hotel?’

It wasn’t a suitable place for vampires to cause trouble. Joo Seo-hyun put her doubts aside and grabbed the steering wheel. There wasn’t much time to think slowly.

When Joo Seo-hyun’s car arrived at the hotel, a new message arrived with a new time and place.

Whether it was to check for pursuers, they were making Joo Seo-hyun go around in circles. And Joo Seo-hyun had no choice but to follow.

• • •

I wriggled my body on the floor.

‘Damn it. I let my guard down. I never thought I’d be kidnapped like this. If I had been holding a sword instead of a gun, this wouldn’t have happened.’

It’s too late to regret it now. I quietly raised my head and looked around.

It was an old warehouse. There was a pile of trash in one corner, and the walls were rusty. The smell of the sea wafted faintly through the night air.

‘I saw it when I was being captured earlier. I don’t know exactly where, but it was a secluded warehouse. I don’t know which sea it is, but… the guy who captured me was really fast.’

The vampire who had kidnapped me fell to the floor and fell asleep as soon as he entered the warehouse. Judging by the fact that he was sweating profusely, it seemed like it was quite difficult for him.

My arms and upper body were bound by chains. My left hand had four fingers broken, except for the thumb. I could move my legs, but moving would draw the attention of the vampires.

‘There are 63 vampires.’

40 were slave-class. 22 were common-class. And one was noble-class.

In the center of the warehouse, sitting on a chair, was a platinum-blonde Caucasian beauty. She was the noble-class vampire, Yana.

‘She’s the one from the original story.’

In the original story, she had kidnapped Ji Hyun-sung’s family. Judging by what that woman was saying, she seemed to have built a troublesome bad relationship with Joo Seo-hyun.

‘Yana. She looks like a busty platinum-blonde beauty on the outside… but I know her true form.’

Knowing her true form, I wasn’t turned on. Not just her, but all vampires’ true forms were basically ugly.

‘She’s planning to use me as a hostage to kill Joo Seo-hyun.’

Over 60 vampires.

No matter how strong Joo Seo-hyun was, there was no way she could face that many vampires alone.

‘Damn it. I’m the captured princess? I absolutely can’t stand that kind of cancer-inducing development.’

Besides, that woman broke my fingers. If a beauty had broken my fingers, I might have forgiven her once, but a monster dared to break my fingers?

‘I’ll kill her.’

I raised my body.

Clang.

The sound of the chains filled the warehouse. The vampires’ gazes were fixed on me.

“What is it? Do you have something to say?”

There was a sneer in Yana’s voice.

“You bitches! You’re all going to die today. I’ll make sure you know you messed with the wrong person.”

“Ha. This one’s gone crazy too. I guess it can’t be helped. Hey, guys. Break one of his legs. Then he’ll be a bit more….”

[Activating Heavenly Heart (天心). Lasts for 1 minute.]

The chains that were binding my body slid down. It was a magical, unrealistic sight, and the vampires, including Yana, stared blankly with their mouths open.

Yana was the first to come to her senses.

“Surround him and capture him! We need to ask how he broke the chains.”

Before the vampires could move, I summoned a box from my inventory.

Thud!

When the box fell from nowhere, the vampires paused. They looked at the box with a mixture of caution and curiosity.

“Are you curious about what’s inside? Okay. I’ll show you.”

I opened the box.

Inside, there were grenades and other bombs. From dynamite to C4. It was full of explosives.

“You have awakened the spirit of the Heavenly Demon sleeping within me. I will become the Bomb Heavenly Demon and wipe you all out.”

The spirit of the Heavenly Demon!

“Heavenly Demon Hoo Akbar!”

I put on the Bomb Heavenly Demon Coat from inside the box. The Bomb Heavenly Demon Coat, which reached down to my ankles, could turn this entire area into ashes if it exploded.

“I will not die alone. Those who kill me will fall into hell with me! Even if you don’t kill me, you will die!!!”

“This crazy bastard! Capture him!”

Yana shouted.

I threw a grenade at her.
