Chapter Title: Out of Control (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
One hassle about turning into a woman's body was that horny bastards would come charging in whenever the mood struck them.
It was like that right from the start when I first fell into Hell.
Not a single low- or mid-tier demon swarming Hell didn't crave fleshly lust, so back in those early days, I had to deal with trash coming at me all day long, all trying to claim my body.
Of course, I survived by smashing all their skulls.
After that, no more bastards came at me for those reasons.
Anyway, the point is, thanks to those experiences, I'd gotten damn good at sensing others' desires—especially lust.
Especially when the guy in front of me had eyes dripping with it. No way to miss that.
'What a horny mutt.'
He might act all normal on the outside, but he was definitely wallowing in filthy thoughts inside.
No reason to hang with a creep like that.
"......This is a bit rude, don't you think?"
Hwang Won-uk scowled as he glared at the middle finger I'd raised.
In response, I flipped him off with my left middle finger too.
"What're you gonna do about it?"
A vein immediately bulged on Hwang Won-uk's forehead.
"......Why the hell are you picking a fight all of a sudden?"
"Your eyes piss me off."
"Hey. Do you even know who I am?"
"Why should I?"
"Ha, unbelievable."
Hwang Won-uk let out a hollow laugh and turned his head.
"Team Leader Lee. What the hell is this?"
His eyes seemed to ask if they weren't properly managing returnees.
"Did you even train her right? Zero social skills?"
Team Leader Lee Min-hyuk quickly wedged himself between us, sweating bullets as he tried to mediate.
"It seems the returnee has no interest in contracting. Director Hwang, please head back. And returnee, don't provoke Director Hwang. No need to start a fight, right? Both of you, stop."
"I bet I'd win if we fought."
"No, ha. This is ridiculous."
Hwang Won-uk laughed incredulously.
"Never been treated like this before. Ha ha."
"What? Looking at your face, seems like you've been through worse plenty of times."
"Ha ha ha."
He rubbed his temples like he was massaging his forehead, then suddenly his eyes widened fiercely.
"No, but this bitch."
At the same time, his pupils slit vertically.
"What makes you so goddamn bold?"
Eyes like a snake's.
"You think you're hot shit or something?"
And that familiar aura wafting off him.
'Oh, a dragon whelp, huh?'
No wonder he's so full of himself. Makes sense now.
As I nodded along, Hwang Won-uk shoved Team Leader Lee Min-hyuk—who'd frozen stiff from the aura—aside and strode right up to me.
"Hey, you little shit. Looks like you were some big shot in that other world, but you think you can strut around here the same way?"
He growled down at me from two heads taller.
"You think I'm easy pickings? Huh? Earth's crawling with trash like you. Whatever power a punk like you has means jack shit. Got it?"
"I bet I'm stronger than you."
Then Hwang Won-uk shoved his face right in mine.
"You really wanna die, you fucking bitch?"
"Your breath stinks, asshole."
"......This crazy bitch, right to the end!"
The next moment, he swung a full-force punch at me.
Or tried to.
"!"
He ducked his head in a panic mid-swing.
At the same instant.
A line 'sliced' through the space where his neck had just been.
"Oh. So you've got some skills."
Dodged that, huh.
Taat!
He kicked off the ground and leaped back.
Realizing how close he'd come to disaster, he clutched his neck on instinct. His face quickly hardened.
"You crazy bitch......!"
"What? You swung first."
"That's not the same as......!"
I looked at him with utter disdain.
"You didn't swing with the resolve to kill?"
"......!"
"Pathetic mutt."
Does he even know shame? His face flushed beet red.
Soon, he clenched his fists into the air.
"......Was gonna go easy on you, but no dice."
The next moment, golden gauntlets equipped on both hands. No special ability—just pulled from a sub-space storage that dragons all have one of.
"Ho. You even have one of those?"
Not even a full dragon, just a Draconian with a bit of bloodline. How the hell does he have sub-space storage?
That's kinda interesting.
'Eh, I'll figure it out later if I'm curious.'
With the golden gauntlets on, confidence surged from somewhere, and his face lit up. He slammed his fists together and unleashed his killing intent at me.
"Let's see if you can keep yapping after I beat you like the dog you are. Huh?"
"Your confidence is out-of-this-world."
I glanced at Team Leader Lee Min-hyuk. He'd already pulled Choi Eun-ji back.
Paang!
Thinking I'd looked away, Hwang Won-uk kicked off and flew at me. Draconian or not, dragonkin is dragonkin. Horrific leg strength propelled him right to my face in an instant as he swung.
And.
Pabababak!
His swung arm shattered into six pieces.
"Kuaaaak!"
The mangled arm sprayed blood and chunks at me.
So I ended up drenched in it.
'Ah, knew I should've just crushed it.'
Miscalculated. Regret.
Meanwhile, Hwang Won-uk clutched his right shoulder and retreated fast. Blood gushing like a fountain turned his face pale in seconds.
I picked up a chunk of his severed arm from the floor and shook it.
"Hey, you dropped something."
"You, fucking psycho......!"
Instantly, his eyes rolled back.
He regenerated his right arm in a flash and charged. I tossed the severed right arm back at him.
Peueok!
"You dog!"
He swatted away the chunk with his new arm and clenched his fist tight. I couldn't help sighing.
This is why I tried for the neck first.
"Dragonkin are such a pain."
Regeneration means repeating the messy work.
I flicked my fingers, slicing his incoming ankle.
Kudangtang!
He lost balance and tumbled to the floor.
"Aak!"
Of course, the stump regenerated fast. Judging by the speed, he had a Dragon Heart too.
With a Dragon Heart supplying mana, dragonkin can regenerate endlessly. Total zombies.
Tsk.
'Can't use fire right now.'
Best to cauterize in this situation, but my current power's too low for 'fire'.
'Fire guzzles mana anyway.'
So what now?
Answer's obvious.
Keep destroying.
I snapped my fingers.
Peubeubeuk!
His limbs pulped.
"Kuaaaak!"
The limbless freak writhed like a bug, screaming. Even then, his mouth worked, spewing curses at me to the end.
"Fuck, you dogshit! I'll kill youuuu!"
"Shut up, you."
Sew his mouth shut?
"Aaaaaaak!"
Well, crushing regenerating limbs on repeat? Screams are natural.
I strode over to him.
Squatted down and met his eyes.
"Got a question."
"Kuh......!"
"How'd you become a Draconian?"
Returnees are those dragged to another world and back, right? How the hell did he turn Draconian?
Well, thinking of my case, species traits can change somehow......
"Draconians are kinda special."
Human-dragon hybrids, so how does a normal human become one?
"Ah, reincarnator or something?"
That'd explain it.
"Hey, answer me."
I patted Hwang Won-uk's cheek.
But he just rolled his eyes back and twisted.
"Kuhk, kuhk. Kuuh."
"Eh, don't really need an answer."
Interesting, but not enough to let you live.
I placed my hand on Hwang Won-uk's head. Infused a bit of mana and scrambled his brain. His memories unfolded before me.
"Oh ho. Heir to a mad dragon? Lucky bastard. Yeah, that explains the sub-space on a mere Draconian. Was wondering about that."
"Uhk, kuhk!"
Checked his memories.
Seen enough.
"Up we go."
I stood and stretched my back.
Then planted my foot on his head.
That moment.
"Ms. Kim Hyun!"
Team Leader Lee Min-hyuk's voice from afar.
I turned. He stared with a stiff face, gauging my mood, opening his mouth oh-so-carefully, like defusing a bomb.
"Do you really have to go that far? We can still salvage this."
"You can salvage after slicing off all his limbs?"
"Yes. Murder. As long as it's not killing a person, we can handle it. Please, stop."
Team Leader Lee Min-hyuk pleaded earnestly. Beside him, Choi Eun-ji shook her head, face drained white.
I stared at them quietly, then smiled.
"Nah."
Peueok!
Crushed his head with force.
Brains, blood, and shattered skull sprayed everywhere.
I turned back to them. Choi Eun-ji opening and closing her mouth, face ghostly pale.
And Team Leader Lee Min-hyuk, tense, focused on my every move.
'At least they didn't stupidly interfere......'
Time for a gift.
I shoved my hand into headless Hwang Won-uk's heart. Felt a round orb in my grip. Yanked it out.
A beautiful, iridescent orb sparkling with rainbow hues.
The Dragon Heart.
Owner dead, so no infinite mana supply, but the mana stored inside rivals a high-tier demon's.
I slowly absorbed the Dragon Heart's mana and turned.
"Team Leader Lee."
"......What?"
I nodded at dead Hwang Won-uk.
"This guy's been up to some real shit. Didn't mean to kill him on purpose, but he deserved it."
"Pardon? What do you......"
No answer. Used the Dragon Heart's power to open his sub-space storage. Dumped everything out.
Gold bars, stacks of cash, weapons, booze, all spilled onto the floor.
Then bags of white powder and syringes.
And finally, naked women 'poured' out.
"......What the fuck!"
"Kyaaaak!"
Seeing the corpses, Lee Min-hyuk gawked at me in horror.
I shrugged.
"See? Told you he deserved to die."
