Chapter 182: The Badmouthed Vampire
When Dante returned to the hotel with Megan and the K-pop idols, the brunette accompanied the band to their rooms before she went to hers.
Inside, Dante was talking with the vampire girl, who was still entangled in abyssal chains while sitting on a chair.
"Ugh, what are you perverts going to do to me!?" The girl exclaimed.
"Perverts? You are the one trying to kidnap a woman…" Dante refuted, crossing his arms.
"Fuck you, bitch. I'm just doing my job!" The girl continued.
"Are curse words the only thing she knows?" Megan pondered aloud, irking the vampire girl.
"Yeah, she is quite annoying…" Dante replied, making the vampire girl even angrier.
"She won't even tell me her name—She keeps saying she is Number 4…" he continued.
"What a stupid name," Megan said, purposely mocking the girl to make her mad.
"Oh, fuck you guys. It's Irina!" The vampire exclaimed, her face red from anger and embarrassment.
"Okay, Irina… And you are a sentinel, right?" Dante asked.
"Fuck you," Irina replied.
"I'll take that as a 'yes,'" said the warlock.
Dante wanted to know how a sentinel vampire appeared on Earth.
Now that he knew that The Golden Fox had 'fallen' into the convergence by mistake and landed on Earth, he thought it was possible for vampires to go through a similar experience.
"Where are you from?" Dante asked.
"Arcgate, born and raised," Irina replied with a serious expression.
"So, you were born here…" Dante muttered, placing a hand on his chin.
Megan noticed that the warlock had something in his mind, prompting her to inquire about it.
Dante explained that, at first, he believed that Irina and her companion were from Terra, but knowing that the woman was born in Novaria changed his perspective.
"I see… So, it was a patriarch who came to this world," Dante commented, making Irina widen her eyes.
Megan was a little lost, so Dante gave her a brief summary of the vampire categories and explained that only the patriarch could create new vampires for their clan.
"What's your Father's name?" Dante asked, his tone and gaze piercing through Irina.
The girl dropped her defiant expression and looked to the side. "Just kill me," she said with a defeated tone.
"Oh, could it be a matriarch this time?" Dante continued casually asking, ignoring the girl's words.
When Irina heard the word "matriarch," Dante noticed a small surge of umbra flowing from her body, so he deduced that he was correct.
"Kill me…" Irina repeated.
"Shut up for a moment. I'm thinking…" Dante replied, waving his hand as if Irina's words were distracting him.
The warlock thought about the fact that she called herself "Number 4," so it was easy to conclude that they were given numbers related to their power levels.
"How many numbers are there?" Dante asked.
"Kill me…" Irina replied.
"Does your Mother count as a number?" he continued.
"Kill me…" Irina repeated her answer.
Any question that referred to the vampire clan was met with an invitation to kill Irina, so Dante and Megan gave up and decided to ask about the client who ordered the kidnapping of Kim Mi-Yun.
Irina was silent at the question, which was a step forward from being told to end her life after every sentence.
Still, while the pair were able to discover that the vampire clan was uninterested in the idol, they didn't get a clear answer as to who ordered it.
*Yawn* "Well, let's keep talking tomorrow…" Dante commented, stretching his arms.
Megan followed suit, and as the two changed into comfortable clothing, Irina blushed with embarrassment and indignation, calling the pair shameless for changing while she was still inside the room.
Moreover, seeing that Megan was in her panties, wearing a tank top with no bra—and that Dante was shirtless, wearing a set of sweatpants made the vampire even more embarrassed.
Before she knew it, the lights in the room were off, and both security guards were peacefully sleeping while Irina stayed bound to the chair, facing the bed.
'Who the fuck are these people…?' Irina thought.
'Why do they know so much about us? And why haven't they killed me?' She continued.
It was evident to Irina that she wasn't dealing with ordinary humans, but she also knew they weren't demons since their "Demonic Hold" spell didn't have any effects on Dante.
Even if Dante were a high-ranking demon, the spell would have given some sort of feedback after casting it. Nevertheless, absolutely nothing happened when it was targeted at the warlock.
Irina couldn't see a lot of mana flowing from them, which made her deduce that they were using other types of energy for their spells.
'I get it, they use umbra! That's why we thought he was a demon…' Irina thought, widening her eyes in realization.
Reminiscing her encounter with Megan, she noticed her prowess in close combat, so she wondered if the brunette was some kind of dark warrior.
However, she also saw her stowing away her pistol when changing outfits, making her realize that Megan wasn't going all-out against her.
Irina and her brother, Laurent, thought that Dante would be the only obstacle standing in their way. Still, she told herself that she wouldn't underestimate the pair again.
The following morning, Megan opened her eyes and lazily rolled on the bed, heavily placing one leg on top of Dante's stomach and waking him up as he coughed a little.
"My bad…" Megan said, slowly retracting her leg.
*Yawn* "It's alright," Dante replied, closing his eyes again.
"Bad morning, fuckheads," Irina said, making the pair open their eyes with annoyance.
The vampire was still bound to the chair while facing the bed, staring at the two with an arrogant frown.
"Creepy…" Megan muttered.
"It's not like that! Vampires don't sleep, you dumbass!" Irina exclaimed, angrily shaking her head while blushing.
"Do you want the TV remote or something?" Megan asked.
"Ughhhh…" The vampire scoffed in defeat.
Irina felt annoyed at some of their words, but she was mostly confused as to why they treated her so casually. Still, she decided she couldn't let her guard down and kept planning a way to escape.
