Heroine Hunts Heroines-Chapter 130

“My mana’s running low. How many have we taken down?”

“Just the two of us? At least 20,000, right?”

That’s quite a lot.

It seemed the Monster Army, which had confronted the Chinese Hunter Army head-on in Pyongyang, had forced them to retreat, deeming them a formidable threat. The other Guild Masters must have achieved similar results.

“Probably about the same on other fronts.”

“Though we might’ve done the most. Yujin-seok isn’t what he used to be, and even his Flame Bat doesn’t seem as effective anymore.”

Shin Ji-woon’s observation wasn’t wrong.

Yujin-seok was far from his former glory, and the Flame Bat wasn’t nearly as reliable. For close combat, Shin Ji-woon’s steel manipulation and Ji-yeon’s techniques were proving to be the most effective combination.

“Why’s that?”

“I can’t create any more steel.”

Ji-woon created a small lump of metal in his palm and sighed.

At this rate, he could likely only use his ultimate ability once. Even then, it wouldn’t last long. After that, he’d have to rely solely on his honed physical skills to continue fighting.

“I’m almost out of mana too.”

“Fine. I’ll use my ultimate ability grudgingly, but you go call the Monster Army to hold this position.”

“Your ultimate doesn’t last long, does it?”

“It’ll hold until reinforcements get here.”

Oh, Shin Ji-woon. What a sweet guy. But looking closely, his mana was already almost depleted. If he used his ultimate now, it was obvious he’d die facing the Chinese Hunters.

“I’m not going.”

“What? Is this some kind of loyalty as an old comrade?”

“If I’m in danger, there’s someone who’ll come for me.”

Oh, that’s gotta be me, right? Surely, he wouldn’t mean Yujin-seok.

“Yujin-seok? Dream on.”

“No, not him. Someone else.”

Why is she so damn adorable? War or not, I just want to push her down and have my way with her right here.

But honestly, the situation’s dire.

Outside this jar-like terrain, I sense over 30,000 fragments of sin. Even if Ji-yeon and Shin Ji-woon burn through all their mana, they might take down hundreds more, but eventually, they’ll be overwhelmed by sheer numbers.

Seriously, these guys can’t do anything without relying on swarms. If they’ve got fragments of sin embedded in them, wouldn’t it be better to go for a small, elite force instead of this mob?

And where the hell is Pingtao, that gluttonous hag? How much does she need to gorge herself before showing up?

“KILL THE KOREANS!”

“TAKE PYONGYANG!”

God, they’re swarming in like ants. Should I step in and wipe them out now?

“Dramatic entrances are always better, right?”

Let them struggle until the bitter end, resisting with all their might. Then, swoop in to save Ji-yeon at the last moment—it’s bound to earn me some serious brownie points.

“Damn, they’re coming in like crazy.”

“Yeah, no kidding.”

“You sure that person you’re trusting is even coming?”

“They’ll definitely come.”

Aw, how can I not step in now? She’s clinging to hope like a baby bird waiting for its mother.

As the Chinese Hunters surged forward in droves, I retracted my wings and leapt into the fray. With a swing, I unleashed White Flame toward the advancing horde.

“My Ji-yeon is just too precious.”

Whoosh!

“AAAAAARGH!”

The Chinese Hunters caught in my White Flame ignited like kindling.

With fragments of sin embedded in their bodies, they were no longer human. At this point, they were no better than bugs. And bugs are best dealt with by burning them alive.

“The way you kept waiting, trusting until the end even though you might’ve died… it’s so adorable.”

“...You waited on purpose for dramatic effect?”

Oops, caught me.

When I smiled bashfully, Ji-yeon’s eyes welled up with tears, and she started trembling. Was she upset? Pouting? Either way, it’s too cute to handle.

“I just wanted to see how cute my Ji-yeon would be when she said something like that.”

“You’re too much.”

“Hah, I can’t believe Ji-yeon was waiting for Yoon-ha, of all people.”

Shin Ji-woon of the Taehwa Guild was up close now.

Damn, he’s annoyingly good-looking. Handsome guys like him should all just die.

But of course, I’m on a whole other level of beauty.

“Hello there. I’m Yoo Eun-ha, Ji-yeon’s lover.”

“So that’s why she’s stopped chasing after Yujin-seok lately.”

Ji-woon accepted my introduction with a smirk.

“Well, we can save the gossip for later. Now, let’s enjoy ourselves a little.”

I drove my sword, imbued with White Flame, into the ground.

The flames rippled outward in waves, consuming the Chinese Hunters in an all-encompassing blaze. Their grotesque, zombie-like appearances, the fragments of sin, and their screams—all of it was erased in a bright, white inferno.

“How many did you just kill?”

“Who knows? Probably a ton. Besides, I’ve surrounded this whole area with White Flame, so if they even think about coming back, they’ll be toast.”

With the unquenchable barrier I’d set up, anyone who dared to push through would be burned alive. From what I could sense, I’d already wiped out around 10,000 of them.

Not bad for a warm-up, right?

“So, what’s the situation with the Yellow Dragon?”

“Don’t you know yet?”

Well, it’s not surprising. Who has time to keep up with this stuff in the middle of a war?

I pulled out my phone and showed the two of them the latest flood of news articles about the Yellow Dragon.

[Baekhwa Church Repels the Yellow Dragon! The Beast Left in Shambles in the West Sea!]

[China’s Imperial Ambitions Shattered!]

[The Dreams of the 21st Century Emperor Dashed!]

The Yellow Dragon was definitively defeated.

Even foreign media were celebrating Korea’s victory over the dragon. Japanese outlets, in particular, took the opportunity to openly mock China.

“Well, that’s a relief.”

“We just stopped it from reaching Seoul, though.”

Shin Ji-woon from the Taehwa Guild seemed relieved, so I hit him with a dose of reality.

Pyongyang was the real problem. Dealing with 1.3 million troops wasn’t a walk in the park. This would be a long and grueling fight.

And let’s not forget about the Sin of Gluttony, Pingtao.

“Yeah. We’ll have to hold off their reinforcements now.”

“Exactly. If the Yellow Dragon’s been defeated, they’ll undoubtedly regroup and come at us harder.”

It’s not just the numbers that are a concern. The sins are still in play, and Pingtao is next on the list.

“So, is everything here wrapped up? Can I head back now?”

“Yes.”

“Alright. Then I’ll head out first. You two can roll around or rest or whatever you need to do. I’ll let the Guild Alliance know.”

Ji-woon, clearly exhausted, gave a dismissive wave before walking off.

The moment he was out of sight, I darted over and pulled Ji-yeon into a tight embrace.

“Fufu~. Do you have any idea how much I missed you?”

I really did. Holding her now, I could feel the dampness of her sweat soaking into me. This seductive woman—making me this worked up—she’s going to have to face the consequences later.

“Didn’t you watch the whole time?”

“Because you’re adorable. Trusting me so much, saying all those sweet things—I wanted to hear more. Ugh, you smell amazing.”

I took a deep inhale. That intoxicating scent—so sweet, it was almost maddening.

As I kept sniffing at her, Ji-yeon pushed me away, her face flushed red.

“I smell like sweat! I’ve been fighting!”

Sweat? Sweat smells like this? Who are you kidding? This is nectar, not sweat.

But I don’t discriminate. I leaned in and ran my snake-like tongue across her cheek, tasting her sweetness.

It’s divine. This isn’t sweat; this is holy water.

“Sweat? It’s the sweat of someone I adore. What’s wrong with that? I’d rub myself all over you right now if I could.”

“Shouldn’t we save this for later? You know, since there’s a war going on? Isn’t it kind of weird for us to be doing this now?”

We’ve dealt with the Yellow Dragon, and all that’s left is Pingtao.

We’ll destroy her so thoroughly that the only language she’ll speak is Korean.

But first, a little nourishment wouldn’t hurt, right? A quick break is all I’m asking for.

“It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.”

“Would you just listen for once?!”

“Ah, ow!”

A light flick landed on my head.

"Even if you’re in a rush, I’ll take care of it when we’re done, okay?"

By that time, though, it seemed like my schedule might be way too packed. If it really wouldn’t work, there were other ways.

I raised my fingers, gazing at her with desperate eyes, and opened my mouth.

"Then let’s just kiss."

"Alright. Mmm. I’ll allow that."

As expected, Seo Ji-yeon was weak when it came to me. With just a little persistence, she granted me permission for her lips.

Smooch.

I latched onto her lips like a dog, licking and sucking them fervently.

How could even lips be this sweet? How does someone end up with a body like this?

Ah, her lips are so sweet. As expected of Ji-yeon. She has this knack for making me lose control without even trying.

"Ah, I really can’t hold back anymore. Just a little. Let’s just do it a little, okay?"

"Ah, no, we really can’t. This is too much!"

No, this won’t do. I need some relief, even if just a little.

Because of Maman, my insides are a complete mess right now.

If I don’t let out this pent-up need even once, I don’t know what’s going to happen.

"Do you know how it feels to pleasure yourself with your tail? I’m seriously drowning in self-loathing here."

Sobs. She has no idea what it feels like to shape your own tail into a makeshift dildo and use it on yourself.

Does she understand this filthy, humiliating feeling of having to satisfy yourself when there are countless openings right in front of you?

Ji-yeon wouldn’t know—she’s been too busy waging wars.

For someone like me, leaving a female alone even for a single day makes my whole body ache, like thorns sprouting in my mouth. That’s just how it is.

"What? What about the others?"

"They said no for the same reason!"

"Ah, I see."

Originally, I planned to do it once when I brought the four dragons over. But I couldn’t because there wasn’t enough time.

"Okay, so just let me do it a little now, alright?"

"Ah… fine, fine. I’ll let you do it, but—! Eek?"

Once permission was granted, there was no reason to hesitate.

"Alright, let’s have ourselves a blazing night."

"A blazing night?"

I summoned white flames into my hands.

Then, I surrounded us with them, creating a secret space entirely enveloped in those flames.

It was an adaptation of the technique Rachel had used before.

With this, a room of white fire was formed.

"This is so perfect," I murmured in delight.

Gently, I embraced Ji-yeon.

"It’s not even hot at all. How’s that possible?"

"The flames don’t burn the ones I love."

That’s just how it works. These white flames only burn what I want them to.

That’s why the Ji-yeon I love will never be harmed by them.

"Ugh, saying something like that in this situation doesn’t make me feel any better."

"I told you, this is just to recharge before fighting the sins!"

I latched onto Ji-yeon’s chest.

Smooch.

Tonight, I’m going to suck to my heart’s content.

I’ll make Ji-yeon’s breasts even more delicious and sweeter than Maman’s.

"Hey, I don’t produce milk, no matter how much you suck on them!"
