Chapter 2652 – 2652. Daily Quest

“Aaaaaaagh! Kill me! I beg you! Please kill me!!”

It didn’t even take five minutes for the vampire to wail in agony, begging for death.

I watched the vampire, quietly impressed.

‘This bastard is truly immortal.’

Evil Lightning. A normal creature would have been reduced to ashes, but this guy had been holding on for over five minutes.

It was proof that vampires couldn’t be killed by normal means. I couldn’t deny it, seeing it right before my eyes.

‘So, theoretically, they could live forever?’

The reason these incredible beings hadn’t conquered Earth… was right in front of me. Hazel. A vampire hunter. And more than anything, the fact that they couldn’t operate under the sun was a significant penalty.

“Do you want to become an immortal vampire? I’ll tell you how! Drink the true blood of a vampire! I’ll share some of my true blood! So please, save me from this pain!!”

The vampire cried out to me with desperation. He realized I was amazed by his regenerative abilities. Having lived so long, he was quite perceptive.

Before Hazel could say anything, I swung the Fire Lotus Blade. The vampire’s limbs were severed.

“Become a lowly mosquito that can’t walk in the sun and just sucks blood? Are you kidding me?”

“You…!”

“Your eyes still have some fight left in them. Shall we enjoy a campfire until sunrise? Oh, of course, you’re the fire.”

The last bit of venom in the vampire’s eyes drained away.

“I, I was wrong. Just kill me! Please…!”

“I don’t know how to kill vampires.”

I looked at Hazel. She didn’t seem to have any intention of killing the incapacitated vampire right away.

“I know that you vampires pursue individual actions, but you don’t stray far from your comrades. There must be other vampires in this desert, right? And Aiden must be among them. Tell me where they are.”

“You two are going to kill all of us, including Aiden? Have you forgotten how strong Aiden is, Hazel!”

“I know how strong Aiden is without you telling me. I’ve seen it myself. And that the wound he received from my father hasn’t fully healed yet. By the way, judging by the way you’re talking, you can still hold on, huh? Let’s talk again in an hour.”

“W-wait a minute…!”

Hazel turned away, her coat fluttering. I saw her frighteningly stern expression, so I didn’t follow her. It was better to leave her alone right now. If I tried to comfort her, I’d probably just make things worse.

My gaze turned to the vampire writhing in pain.

“Is that mosquito Aiden really that strong?”

“Show some respect…! He is the Lord of our vampires!”

“Are you a goldfish, not a mosquito?”

Zzzzzap!

Three more minutes of electric spa service.

The spirit of Confucianism settled into the vampire’s body.

“Aiden is the only vampire lord of the current era, having lived for 500 years. His power is comparable to an S-class hunter, known as a disaster.”

“The World Hunter Association has let a guy like that live until now? If it were me, I would have gathered about three S-class hunters to take care of him.”

“Aiden is cunning. He never operates openly. Especially after surviving that day 500 years ago. Aiden is meticulous about hiding his tracks.”

That day 500 years ago? I was about to get interested, but then I stopped myself. I don’t even care about Korean history, why should I care about the history of some mosquito bastards?

“And even the S-class hunters in America are reluctant to face Aiden.”

“Because he’s immortal?”

“Yes. As you can see, our vampires don’t die even if their heads are blown off, their hearts are shattered, or their bodies are split in half. The only things that can kill us are… the hateful sun and the vampire hunters who use the power of the sun.”

“An S-class vampire, huh. Hey, if I fought that guy one-on-one, who do you think would win?”

“Of course, Aiden would….”

I quietly gathered my power.

Zzzzzap, crackle…!

Lightning crackled around me. At the same time, I projected my boiling killing intent and fighting spirit onto the vampire.

The vampire trembled. He was sweating profusely, and slowly lowered his gaze.

“You…. You would win…!”

“So, the mosquito boss is just another mosquito.”

An hour later, Hazel returned.

The vampire was no longer arrogant, but rather whimpering like an old invalid, answering Hazel’s questions.

There were seven vampires in this desert, including Aiden. Aiden, who had suffered a fatal injury from Hazel’s father, was preparing an ancient ritual to recover. The ritual was nearing its end.

Once the ritual was complete and Aiden had recovered from his injuries, he would find Hazel, kill her, and take his revenge. That was Aiden’s plan.

“…I’ve told you everything I know. Please, kill me.”

“It would have been better if you had said that sooner. Now, die.”

Hazel pierced the vampire’s heart with a sword strike that resembled sunlight. The vampire’s body, which had been suffering from Evil Lightning, burst into golden flames and turned to ashes in an instant.

Hazel gripped the cross necklace in her hand and closed her eyes for a moment. She quietly prayed, then opened her eyes again.

“Thank you, Eugene. Things went smoothly thanks to you.”

“I’m glad I could help.”

“I’m a little sorry to say this, but I just contacted the World Hunter Association and requested information about you. The World Hunter Association has a very old connection with me, so they tell me most information. But what do you think the World Hunter Association said about you?”

From her perspective, I was a man who had suddenly appeared. It wasn’t surprising that she contacted the World Hunter Association to find out my identity. If anything, I was surprised she hadn’t done it sooner.

“A Korean S-class (True) hunter?”

“No. They said it was classified and they couldn’t tell me. There are very few cases like this. It means you’re a very important person from the World Hunter Association’s perspective. Like an unofficial S-class hunter, for example.”

“I don’t really know how the World Hunter Association sees me. To be honest, I’m not very close with them.”

Of course, I knew that the World Hunter Association was trying to be very careful with me.

‘The World Hunter Association must know I’m in America. Judging by their lack of reaction, they don’t intend to contact me yet.’

If I killed the vampires in America, it would be a thank you from the World Hunter Association’s perspective.

“I have a favor to ask of you. Help me kill the vampire lord Aiden. I will definitely compensate you.”

“You know that it takes a lot of money to hire an S-class hunter, right?”

“…Tell me if there’s anything else you want. I’ll try my best to grant it.”

I could tell from Hazel’s attitude. She was already prepared to give me her body. If I told her to take off her clothes, she would. But that wouldn’t be fun.

“Then, our date will last until we take down Aiden. How many days do you think it will take?”

“Haa. That damn date. According to that guy, the vampires are scattered all over Arizona. They have their own network, so they probably know about our presence. Normally, the vampires would run away, but… Aiden is doing some kind of ritual right now, so they won’t be able to run away. At most, they’ll just move their base a little further away. It’ll be over in three days at the earliest, and a week at the latest.”

“Then we can sleep now and start moving tomorrow.”

“What are you talking about? We have to move diligently from now on since we have to travel all over Arizona. I sleep during the day.”

It seemed like her day and night concept was reversed because she was a vampire hunter.

Then, I suddenly wondered about the size of Arizona.

‘Travel all over Arizona? No way it’s bigger than Korea.’

I checked the internet and found out that it was bigger than not only Korea, but the entire Korean peninsula. It was about three times the size of Korea. One state in the US was bigger than Korea.

‘We’re not really going to have to just drive around, are we?’

And we started moving by car. And we just drove around. We took turns driving and sitting in the passenger seat, driving through the desert.

And then it became midnight.

[Day 2 Quest
Dance for 30 minutes without stopping.
Quest Success Reward: 200 Points.]

As soon as it turned midnight, I frowned as hard as I could when I saw the quest that appeared.

‘Shit. What kind of stupid quest is this?’

Dance for 30 minutes without stopping. Did quests like this even exist?

‘It’s an easy quest, but the reward is 200 points. Objectively speaking, it’s a cost-effective quest.’

But the quest content was too lame.

Of course, I was going to complete the quest. Dancing for 30 minutes was easy. More than anything, if I failed even once, the [Daily Quest] itself would fail.

The car that had been driving continuously stopped from time to time.

Even if you were an A-class hunter or higher, driving was boring, and sitting still was frustrating. We also had to eat, so we needed rest time.

We took out two chairs that were in the truck and sat in the desert, looking at the night sky. We could see some stars. We even lit a small campfire, which made the atmosphere better.

“Let’s dance.”

“What? Why are you suddenly talking nonsense? Are you sleepy? Sleep in the passenger seat. If that’s uncomfortable, sleep in the cargo area.”

“We’re on a date. So you have to go along with me to some extent. It’s not like I’m asking for sex, you can at least do this much.”

“…Okay. I’m not the only one dancing, right? I’m not good at dancing.”

“Let’s dance together. What’s the difference between this and a club? If the music is good, it’s a club!”

I jumped up from my seat. I hadn’t been to a club recently, but I used to go quite often with my friends. I played a suitably exciting song on my smartphone. Hazel was very hesitant, unlike her appearance. I took her hand and led her.

“Let’s dance! Come on! Move your body! It’s not that hard!”

I started moving my body in front of Hazel.

“Ha, really. I’m really bad at this.”

Hazel, who had been watching me, started to move to the beat little by little. She was gradually getting excited. As the song and atmosphere intensified, her intense dance began. Her boobs were bouncing around. Then, she suddenly grabbed her knees and lifted her butt. What followed was a shocking twerking!

‘Ooh yeah.’

Without realizing it, I raised my hand to prepare for a spanking, then quickly lowered it.

‘Her saying she can’t dance was bullshit.’

“Kyahahahahahaha!”

Hazel’s laughter echoed through the quiet desert.

[Day 2 Quest Completed.]

[You have acquired 300 points as a reward for completing the Day 2 Quest.]

[The Day 3 Quest will be available tomorrow.]

30 minutes passed in an instant.

But Hazel and I were still dancing.
