Chapter 15: The Villain Dies from Talking Too Much

“Crash!”

The shut door burst open as Kanzaki Rin kicked it in, storming inside fully armed.

Her gas mask with infrared detection immediately locked onto Yagawa Ryouka’s figure in the smoke.

She fired her weapon at the vampire without hesitation.

The oddly-shaped handgun shot crackling arcs of electricity instead of bullets.

Yagawa Ryouka shrieked when struck, collapsing in twitching convulsions.

Kanzaki Rin kept squeezing the trigger until the stun gun’s energy reserves emptied completely.

She’d come prepared – this stun gun was the strongest weapon available to an intern at the Countermeasures Department.

Though vampires possessed formidable healing abilities and near-immortality, they still bled from cuts and seized up when electrocuted.

With the weapon drained, Yagawa Ryouka lay motionless, clothes smoking with a pungent burnt odor mixing with smoke bomb residue.

Kanzaki Rin snorted at the fallen vampire’s act. She wasn’t born yesterday.

She aimed directly at Yagawa Ryouka and snapped her fingers.

Flames erupted with the crisp sound, banishing smoke and illuminating the living room.

Fire engulfed Yagawa Ryouka instantly, transforming her into a human torch.

Thankfully the surrounding furniture stayed clear, preventing full-scale combustion.

“AAAAH!”

The burning vampire’s screech betrayed her ruse.

Yagawa Ryouka sprang up blazing and lunged at Kanzaki Rin.

The hunter retreated calmly, hurling the empty stun gun at the vampire’s face before snapping her fingers again.

Fire jetted from her fingertips, slamming into Yagawa Ryouka with a burst of sparks.

The vampire’s speed never faltered – she closed the distance in eyeblinks.

Kanzaki Rin whipped out a silver dagger and stabbed at Yagawa Ryouka’s chest.

Their collision sent both women tumbling across the floor.

Using practiced combat techniques, Kanzaki Rin twisted to pin the vampire beneath her.

Though flames still clung to Yagawa Ryouka, the hunter’s fire-resistant mask and combat suit offered protection.

Kanzaki Rin felt blade meet flesh – then realized Yagawa Ryouka had intercepted the strike with her bare hand.

The dagger pierced clean through the vampire’s palm, tip grazing her chest.

Kanzaki Rin strained to push downward, but Yagawa Ryouka’s grip held firm against the pressure.

The vampire’s entire body resembled charred wood, yet her wounds visibly regenerated – scorched skin smoothing to perfection, bald scalp sprouting fresh hair.

Within moments, Yagawa Ryouka’s cute features had completely restored themselves.

However, this cute face now looked fierce like a wild beast, staring intensely at Kanzaki Rin.

Kanzaki Rin ignored Yagawa Ryouka’s crazed gaze, her mind focused only on pushing the dagger down to kill the vampire.

She used her full body weight, pouring all her strength into the small blade.

But instead of sinking deeper, the dagger slowly started lifting upward.

Kanzaki Rin possessed unusual strength for a human – more powerful than grown men, capable of breaking bricks with her palm.

Yet Yagawa Ryouka’s multiple blood feedings since becoming a vampire had boosted her power far beyond normal human limits.

In this raw contest of strength, Kanzaki Rin clearly lost.

As the dagger tip lifted from Yagawa Ryouka’s chest, the vampire smirked and threw Kanzaki Rin off with ease.

Kanzaki Rin rolled aside and scrambled to her feet.

Yagawa Ryouka pounced, punching her hard in the stomach.

Grunting through the pain, Kanzaki Rin thrust her dagger forward, only to have her wrist caught and get flipped over Yagawa Ryouka’s shoulder.

Kanzaki Rin crashed through the living room into the kitchen, slamming against the fridge hard enough to knock it sideways. Food supplies spilled across the floor.

She struggled upright against the tilted appliance, gasping for air.

Yagawa Ryouka already stood before her.

When Kanzaki Rin tried snapping her fingers, the vampire kicked her hand away. Grabbing Kanzaki Rin’s neck, Yagawa Ryouka lifted her off the ground and ripped off her mask.

The vampire paused, having already known her opponent’s gender but surprised by the pretty face beneath.

“Such lovely features,” Yagawa Ryouka purred, tracing sharp nails along flushed skin that broke out in goosebumps. “How sad the boys would be if I ruined this.”

Kanzaki Rin’s terrified expression excited the vampire, who licked her lips while considering torture methods. Then she noticed Kanzaki Rin’s eyes shifting to calm assurance.

“Not scared anymore, little sister?”

“Ever heard…” Kanzaki Rin strained through choked breaths, “…of villains dying from monologuing?”

Yagawa Ryouka’s sharp vision caught the reflection in Kanzaki Rin’s eyes – her own figure, and a black shadow behind her.

The vampire’s heartbeat stuttered as she whirled around to see a fist rushing at her face.

CRACK!

The air-splitting punch smashed into Yagawa Ryouka’s face, shattering her cheekbone like porcelain. Blood sprayed as she crashed headfirst into the kitchen counter.

Coughing on the floor, Kanzaki Rin kept her gaze locked on Fang Cheng. She’d thought him dead after watching Yagawa Ryouka rip out his heart via drone feed.

Disaster Countermeasures Department records stated clearly: vampires killed their kind by consuming hearts. Survival after heart removal was impossible.

Yet here he stood, alive despite everything.

Fang Cheng shook his bruised fist, then noticed Kanzaki Rin. He rushed over reaching out – only to shove her aside and wail at the destroyed fridge.

“Who wrecked my food?!”

Smashed eggs and trampled groceries littered the floor. Fang Cheng’s anguished howl echoed through the kitchen. “I sold a kidney for these supplies!”

Kanzaki Rin: (°ー°〃)
