9 Episode 9 - , Part II (2/2)

'If I only make an opportunity, if I can only make an opportunity for them to escape...' Above all, he knew better than anyone else that resentment at this moment was not helpful to himself.

'The opportunity to live is not going to come if I blame someone.'

But the situation was getting worse every moment.

'I have to find a way before I lose my power.' He clearly felt his power weakening. Especially, his physical health, mental strength, and concentration were consumed more than anything else.

'Or maybe my body will burst.' Telekinesis required much more physical health and concentration than he had thought. If the water stream was too strong, the waterspout would be destroyed. Like that, if he used the powerful Telekinesis, his body would be destroyed since it was still only a human-level trained body.

The fatigue that he felt now was terrible. Because he had been trained as a soldier, he could endure. He was a man who could struggle at the crossroads of life and death.

'I would drink a cup of coffee before I die... I can't ask the monster for that kind of consideration.'

In his mind, the image of the death was drawn. And the moment he was weak…

”Keeeeee!” A low but clear cry began to leak from the Black Orc's mouth.

Thump! Its feet also began to move. It was as slow as walking on the moon, but it took a step at last. 'Shit.'

It started to overcome his Telekinesis, and its orange eyes were shining. It spoke with its eyes, 'Man, I'm going to chew your head off alive.'

He felt it in his own eyes.

'These... these monsters are smart.'

The first Goblins and Orcs he had encountered were just fierce. They were overwhelmed by hunger because they were faithful to their instincts. That was why the small Goblins showed their teeth without hesitation to people larger than them.

But the Black Orc was different now. It was not ignorant, and it knew how to hunt. It did not just destroy and struggle instinctively. Of course, it wasn't the only one.

'Now this world would be full of these monsters… It is just the beginning. There will be some monsters like it, some monsters that are much more powerful than the Black Orc, with terrible abilities.' He was sure of this.

'We need a proper hunter to kill these monsters; not one, but a group of hunters… In the era of monsters that start from now on, mankind does not need only weapons to survive. We need hunters with knowledge, ability, and experience to fight monsters. Of course, the worries about this part are the ones that must be done after surviving.'

He forced his thinking to turn. He looked at the present, not the future.

'If I pull it towards me instead of pulling it back, I might get a chance…' He came up with a way to live.

At that moment, an unsuitable sound broke out in the stillness of the blood. Clank!

'That's...?' The source of the sound was a huge can that hit the Black Orc's head.

'Cooking oil?' It was a big yellow can, an 18-liter can of cooking oil!

”Big brother!” After the jaunty sound of such a can of cooking oil knocking on the Black Orc's head, Bang's voice was heard.

”Did you see the movie, Home Alone?”

Kim did not need any more explanation. He immediately changed the picture in front of his eyes. He turned the chain around the Black Orc's neck, which had been pulling it back, 180 degrees, in his own direction. At the same time, he tied his own body with a chain of Telekinesis and pulled it to the right.

Thump, thump, thump! In a sudden change, the body of the Black Orc rushed toward him at the explosive speed.

His body, flying to the right as if hit by a car, was able to avoid the rush in a breathtaking move.

”Kaaaah!” The Black Orc, which had finally opened its mouth, screamed during its unceasing sprint, and it stopped only after it had broken five shelves.

”Krrr!” The Black Orc, who took an instant posture, immediately followed Kim with its eyes, and it was running toward Bang and Ahn. There was no hesitation.

”Kh-aang!” It began to rush again, screaming.

In the meantime, Kim shouted at Ahn and Bang, ”Go up!”

”Watch out for the cooking oil!” Just as Kim was warned by Bang, he slipped on the floor, which had become a sea of cooking oil. At the same time, he reached out his hands for the ceiling.

Just like a spider-man, the hero from Marvel Comics, who fired a web with his wrist, Kim used his Telekinesis to create an invisible line between the ceiling and his arm.

He stopped slipping using the line, and said to Bang and Ahn who looked at him in surprise, ”Go!”

”That's awesome!” Bang said admiringly.

”Go!” Kim shouted again to Bang.

”What? What about you, big brother?”

At the repeated question, Kim looked at the Black Orc, who had just run back near them. He looked at it again and reached out his hands, painting a picture. It was a picture connecting a big line to its two legs. He waited for the moment it put its huge foot down on the cooking oil!

Thud!

As it stepped on the cooking oil, he began to slip backwards, grabbed its leg and pulled it the other way. There were many bangs as it broke down the display stands, and it past him out of sight.

”Keee? Keee? Keee?” In this unexplained situation that it had not experienced in its life, it cried out in confusion instead of shrieking.

Kim started to run on the escalator, leaving behind the embarrassed cries coming from the Black Orc. Bang and Ahn followed him. They quickly headed to the first floor. When they started for the ground floor, Bang asked, ”Big brother, are you going to run away?”

It was more of a plea than a question. 'Please let's run away like this.'

”Kaaaah!” The cry of the Black Orc shook the escalator to the first floor.

Bang shook his deer-like eyes more eagerly at the sound.

However, Kim's eyes were not on Bang, but on Ahn Sun-mi. ”Do you have a driver's license?”

”What?” It was a sudden question. ”Yes, I do.”

She managed to answer, and Kim said, ”We are going to steal a car outside.”
