Chapter Title: I Haven't Even Started Yet
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I haven't even started yet.
I've asked Oh Yeonseo before if the Great Spirits were such incredible beings.
What I'd learned in school was just the basics: they're at the top of the gate ecosystem, they command high spirits like limbs, they can come and go from any gate as they please, they lend power to summoners if they're in the mood, and they rarely reveal themselves directly to hunters.
"Even one high spirit is enough to sweep through most gates. A Great Spirit can command those high spirits at will, so you can imagine. And Woojin has three of them bound to him. And he's not even a summoner—he's the first and greatest contractor!"
She'd grabbed me, her face flushed with excitement as she said it.
An S-Rank summoner's word, so it had to be true.
They loved my Yin Energy a ton, they could use their power outside gates, and if the vessel was right, they could pass on their sigils to other hunters—there were a lot of things they taught me that school never covered.
All of it only possible because I was their first contractor.
"If word got out right now, you'd be treated like a national-level hunter. You could single-handedly wipe out the forces of any country except a few hunter superpowers. You'd get insane wealth and power... but they'd use you just as much."
Oh Yeonseo said it while nuzzling my side and fiddling with my dick.
This is true pillow talk.
Seo Nayeong and I had talked plenty in bed, but we always ended up bickering. I'd never planned out the future with lingering skinship like this.
"That's why you need an organization. One that can stand up to the Four Great Guilds, the government, and especially the Hunter Agency if they try to exploit you. It doesn't need to be big. Even if it's just a handful of members, if each one is national-level like you, no one could touch you. Not in Korea, not anywhere in the world."
She punctuated it with a kiss to the tip.
It was so electric that even though I'd just cum, the switch flipped again.
Watching the blood rush in and my dick regain its shape, Oh Yeonseo smiled brightly.
"Starting a guild with Nayeong was smart. With a money-laundering mobster backing you, funds are plentiful. And since it's basically a one-man guild, no one's meddling."
She took my dick in her mouth and sucked noisily before smacking her lips.
"Once I wrap things up here, I'll join you. I want to always be by your side, Woojin."
She sucked a few more times, then swirled her tongue around the urethra.
She'd already figured out my weak spot and went after it relentlessly.
I couldn't help but groan, and she looked satisfied.
"Before that, contract with Salamandra. I want to try out its powers."
"Why hasn't anyone seen Salamandra until now?"
"No idea. It hates humans, no hunter's caught its interest, it's on a different level from the other three even among Great Spirits and doesn't mix with them, it's only in records—lots of rumors, but nothing confirmed."
She slid down from my side and settled between my legs.
Licking her lips seductively, she was clearly gearing up for a serious blowjob.
"There are a few summoners who can use Great Spirit powers without taking their sigils. So the powers of those three spirits are pretty well-known. What I want is the last one no one's ever used. I want to be the unprecedented summoner who wields all four spirits' powers. You can make that happen, right?"
With total confidence, she took my dick into her mouth.
The way it slid in with her gulping saliva was insanely lewd.
I get why ancient kings went mad for women and ruined their countries.
If I were king and a woman like Oh Yeonseo sucked my dick while asking for the kingdom, I'd hand it over happily.
Her pleasure was that lethal.
*
Thinking of Oh Yeonseo sucking my dick while facing a furious Great Spirit glaring like it wanted to kill me... yeah, I'm pretty far gone.
Of all the scenes to pop into my head after seeing the spirit she'd craved so badly.
If I catch that guy, I can have sex with Yeonseo.
｢Your face pisses me off. How can you make that expression in front of a spirit?｣
"What's wrong with my face?"
｢It's the look of drooling over a female. Makes me sick.｣
Sharp instincts on this spirit.
And Han Chaewon staring at me like I'm an idiot from the side was just bonus.
I smoothed my expression and spoke to Salamandra.
"Tearing up the lizard was unavoidable—it was rampaging too much. You said handle it however, soothe it or fight it, your call."
｢I never said rip it to shreds! The idea that a human could do that to my pet is absurd to begin with!!｣
"And that's not the end of it. You need a lesson too. You said it was an accident you came here. But you torment people with this crap? I'll break you of that habit for good."
｢Hahaha! Cocky just from catching one lizard. I can summon dozens, hundreds of them. Still talking big then?｣
"Of course. I'll rip apart every one that comes out, so bring 'em. Come to think of it, you're not all that, are you? You just keep summoning minions instead of stepping up yourself."
｢Wh-what did you say?｣
Pillars of fire erupted all around.
Really pissed, huh.
｢Salamandra, enough. He's the human we chose.｣
Gnome finally stepped in, unable to stand it any longer.
It'd been silent without its powers, but Salamandra's rage was getting out of hand, so it tried to calm things.
｢Stay out of it, old man. I don't need the judgment that picked this trash.｣
No respect for elders, but who knows if spirits even have that concept.
Clear was that Salamandra had no intention of backing down.
I'd provoked it to see how it'd react, and its pressure was several times stronger than at first.
Of course, now that I was awakened, that pressure meant nothing to me.
"Ugh, Woojin... hold my hand."
Han Chaewon, unawakened, was the exception.
With barely any Yin Energy left, she breathed raggedly and reached for me.
I fed her Yin Energy, adjusting the flow carefully.
She'd been so aroused at the motel that if she climaxed again, she couldn't sync with my support.
Fortunately, she wasn't suffering too much.
"Feels bearable now."
"Yeah. Thinking about what we did together with Woojin... makes it tolerable."
Humans really are adaptable creatures.
Just look at Nayeong these days—she blushes but doesn't get so excited her movements slow.
She's gotten used to the stimulation I give her.
Negotiations with Gnome must've broken down, because Salamandra's fury turned back to us.
"After talking that shit, you don't plan on leaving alive, right? I'll burn your soul to nothing."
The fire pillars looming behind it began to swell.
Several merged, barreling toward us with enough force to swallow the plaza.
The flames spread along the walls, incinerating even the rear corridors.
It had filled every direction with fire by warping space.
No matter how you twist or tear space, flames would rush from another angle.
｢Try redirecting with your fancy power. Wherever you touch, flames from the other side will follow.｣
"Too bad."
｢Too bad? What?｣
"You filled it well, but why leave the ceiling empty?"
｢What?｣
Say our footing was left for last to watch the flames approach and despair.
Fine.
But aside from where flames shot up, the ceiling was wide open.
Like it was screaming, just escape this way.
I scooped Han Chaewon under my arm and yanked the empty space above us down to the floor with all my strength.
Like pulling back a rubber band on my finger to maximum tension before firing.
"Nngh..."
I released, and the compressed space sprang upward like a released spring.
Impossible scenario, but materializing a Yin-drunk gate space had no limits.
Having the exact mental image form in real-time was awfully convenient.
As it reached the ceiling, I spread Yin Energy downward, envisioning thousands, tens of thousands of sheets of paper stacking up.
Crush it. Crush it so it never rises again—!!
The space hanging from the ceiling above us began compressing toward the floor.
Under the immense pressure, the flames twisted into bizarre shapes and plummeted downward.
Salamandra summoned more flames upon noticing, but couldn't stop the folding space.
｢A human... a mere human... grraaaah—!!｣
The space compression smothered even Salamandra's scream, shoving the flickering flames below the floor.
When the new space we'd brought down touched the floor, the flames were gone, leaving only Salamandra flattened and writhing on the ground.
"How's it feel to lose to a mere human?"
｢Kill... I'll kill youuu... raaaagh—!!｣
Its rage hadn't cooled a bit.
It couldn't accept defeat to a human.
"Guess not."
I lifted the trapped space into the air and rotated it 90 degrees to face it.
Its eyes blazed with murderous fury fierce enough to kill with presence alone.
I folded its space in half.
Folded each half again.
And half, half more... accordion-style, shrinking the area it occupied relentlessly.
｢Kyaaah! It hurts... guk! Stop... aaaah—!!｣
If it had bones, they'd snap in the opposite direction with each fold.
No bones or not, constant folding in a shrinking space had to hurt.
Gate-materialized space trapped even a Great Spirit—no escape.
It couldn't change form or hide, just endlessly suffered the humiliation of folding.
Its first taste of such horrific pain as a Great Spirit.
When the space swelled too much to fold further, I snapped it open left and right like unfolding a cloth.
Inside the creased space, the fire spirit twitched feebly.
No trace of its prior arrogance, but its eyes still gleamed with killing intent.
"Nice glare. I was worried you'd submit too soon. I haven't even started yet."
