Chapter 62 - Chapter 60: Episode 59 - Severance of Pleasure (1)
As Yu-rin continued her rhythmic hip thrusting, Seon-ah felt his climax finally welling up.
Driven by her resentment toward Miel, Yu-rin wanted to carve her own mark onto Seon-ah's body. She began to stimulate his cock relentlessly, even as she pulled away, refusing to let him find relief.
"Haa... Noona... wait... Ah... too fast... it hurts... stop..."
Even though Seon-ah pleaded as if in pain, Yu-rin kept up the frantic pace, lifting and lowering her hips with punishing speed.
Miel realized that by pushing him to the point of abuse, Yu-rin was trying to trick Seon-ah into thinking it was her, even though it was Yu-rin doing the work.
Miel tried to intervene, but because their pleasure was linked, she was on the verge of her own climax and had to bite her tongue to keep from moaning.
Yu-rin was even stealing the moans that should have been Miel's.
If they both started moaning, Seon-ah might realize something was wrong and rip off his blindfold.
Miel had no choice but to endure it in silence.
When Seon-ah finally reached his limit and reached up to tear off the blindfold, Yu-rin quickly pinned his wrists and kissed him hard.
She swallowed his moans as if they were sweet, desperate not to let a single sound reach Miel.
Yu-rin felt a sudden urge to pull off his blindfold, just to see his flustered expression.
But she knew if she did that and his mind shattered again, there would be no turning back.
Deciding she had pushed him far enough, Yu-rin finally pulled away.
Seon-ah's blindfold slipped off, but his eyes were rolled back in his head.
He had fainted; she'd been thrusting for ten minutes straight since he started, draining him like a broken faucet.
Miel, too, seemed unable to handle the overwhelming mix of pain and pleasure, collapsed in the back and trembling.
The Yin Mark was clearly visible on both of their lower abdomens.
Yu-rin stared at the mark with cold, hard eyes.
'It shouldn't be there. I have to find a way to get rid of it.'
As long as that mark remained, she couldn't feel happy, even with Seon-ah in her arms.
Miel was supposed to be nothing more than a tool—a source of infinite aphrodisiacs—but because of that mark, even sex with Seon-ah felt tainted.
She thought about the other succubus, the one tied to the origin of that mark.
There were currently two high-level monsters captured for the expedition project.
If a crisis hit, they weren't going to waste time trying to persuade demons who valued their own skins over pride; they were prepared to open a gate and send a full-scale force into the Demon World.
One was a noble-class vampire, and the other was a succubus of Miel's race.
Yu-rin decided that when dawn broke, she would ask the succubus held in the Hwaryong Guild's research center how to remove the Yin Mark.
The next day, Yu-rin left the house, leaving Seon-ah and Miel behind.
Most high-level monsters of rank A or higher committed suicide the moment they were captured.
They considered it a disgrace to be caught by "inferior" humans, and she could guess the kind of pride that drove them to end their own lives.
That was the term Miel and the others used for Seon-ah and me in the Demon World: inferior species.
She assumed it was a common sentiment among all demons.
The incredible technology of the Gates.
Abundant resources.
And the power of Mana—what Miel called magic.
These three things were clearly superior to anything on Earth.
As humans, we were physically helpless, so magic was a terrifyingly powerful advantage.
It was even surprising that we could communicate with these monsters at all, thanks to that very magic.
However, the high-level monsters at the center she was visiting didn't seem to have much common sense.
The vampire, despite his noble rank, had been a fallen mercenary who got caught during a gate conquest.
He'd been starving for blood, but here, he was given an unlimited supply—and not the trashy blood of a woman, but high-quality human blood. He'd even said he wanted to live here forever.
It was enough to shatter every prejudice she'd held about high-level monsters.
The succubus was just as bad, demanding a man to be her mate as if it were a basic necessity.
As a bonus, she demanded a computer for her cell.
Of course, the center refused, since she was asking for a person, not just food or supplies.
Who would actually want to be violated by a monster like that?
She had to correct herself.
Remembering Seon-ah calling out "Miel-noona" yesterday, a surge of anger hit her.
Having peered into human memories, the succubus would talk about internet broadcasts, viral videos, and community sites.
She'd heard the succubus even used the slang of the younger generation; it seemed she had adapted to the human world all too well.
She'd seen the vampire once, but this was her first time meeting the succubus.
Today, she was visiting to promise the succubus what she wanted, in exchange for learning how to remove the Yin Mark from Seon-ah's abdomen.
Usually, very few people were allowed to meet them.
A B-class hunter like her wouldn't normally have a chance to get near them.
But she was a staff member advising on the Demon World beyond the Gate.
No matter what the monsters said, her words as a human carried more weight.
Demons couldn't be trusted, but she was the most trusted advisor on the expedition team.
When she interrogated the vampire, they asked her to verify information against what she'd witnessed in the Demon World months ago.
Since she'd already heard almost everything, she wasn't sure if the succubus could offer any new, helpful information.
But she was here for her own selfish reasons.
The isolation room was a fortress of steel, impenetrable to anyone else.
She entered only after passing four security checks: iris, fingerprint, and voice recognition.
Inside, a backpack-like device was strapped to the succubus's chest.
A tube ran from the device to a mask over her nose and mouth.
She knew exactly what it was.
When monsters crossed the Gate, they could fight and manipulate mana as long as the fog was present.
But once the fog vanished, their physical strength plummeted, and their ability to focus on mana became severely impaired.
It was the Earth's oxygen concentration that made it impossible for them to concentrate on magic.
The device on her chest was a Mana Interference Device, essentially a high-pressure oxygen generator.
As long as it was attached, her physical strength was reduced to human levels, and she couldn't use magic.
If they tried to remove it, an alarm would sound and a kill team would be deployed; both monsters knew this and didn't dare try any tricks.
She introduced herself and began the conversation.
The succubus talked on and on, seemingly delighted to have a conversation partner after so long.
She was smiling brightly, chatting about trivial things.
If not for the wings on her back, Yu-rin wouldn't have even thought she was a monster.
"So, you know, I was surprised at how much that woman eats on VTube. I wanted to try filming something like that later too. Hahahaha!"
Seeing the computer and the bed in this twenty-pyeong room, it almost seemed pitiful.
Nevertheless, the succubus chattered on about dramas, movies, anime, and games she'd discovered on the internet.
Since Yu-rin had a goal, she listened to every word the talkative creature said.
Finally, when the topics ran dry, Yu-rin asked.
"I have one thing I want to ask. You know the Yin Mark, right?"
"It's something only a succubus carves onto her mate. How did you know about that?"
The succubus countered with a question, ignoring the lack of politeness.
"Is there a way to remove it?"
"Hmm... well... have you ever seen a person with a Yin Mark engraved on them?"
"..."
Yu-rin pondered.
Was it safe to tell the truth and ask for help?
She couldn't read the succubus's eyes while she was lost in thought.
Despite being victimized by Miel, she had treated this succubus like a person, simply because she seemed to be living happily in the human world.
"I just wondered if there was a way to remove it, that's all."
Yu-rin glossed over it, pretending it was mere intellectual curiosity.
"Hmm... I think I'd have to see it in person to know... There are some Yin Marks that can be erased. Of course, the problem is that I'd have to see the target, because I have to erase it myself."
"..."
Her internal conflict deepened.
But then she remembered Seon-ah calling Miel's name yesterday.
She made her choice.
"Actually... there is a man with a Yin Mark... could you keep it a secret?"
In the end, Yu-rin decided to erase Seon-ah's mark.
When she visited again in three days...
She would bring Seon-ah, tucked away in a specially ordered, extra-large carrier bag.
