28 Episode 28 - Power Enhancement, Part III (2/2)
Kim Tae-hoon put the mug on the ground. ”Do you like coffee?”
”Is there anyone in Korea who hates coffee?”
Kim Tae-hoon started to make more coffee.
7.
The start of the new morning of the Mac Clan began with a battle with the monsters.
”A world where even pigs became monsters.”
”It's a real crazy world, damn it.”
The monster appeared to be like a wild boar, but it was so large that it could not be compared with a wild boar. It had a horn that reminded them of a rhinoceros.
A Horned Pig!
Three dreadful Pigs were charging the Mac Clan vehicles on the move.
The moment the Horned Pigs appeared, the Mac Clan moved with great speed.
First, two SUVs became ramparts that blocked the advance of the Horned Pig.
”Get out of!”
”Wait!”
The drivers who were driving the SUV's facing the Horned Pig got out of the slow-moving vehicle.
”The driver is here!”
”Even the left driver came out!”
As soon as the fact was delivered to Kim Tae-hoon, who was riding in the back of a dump truck, he stared at two cars driving along.
Two cars revved up and began to accelerate toward the Horned Pigs.
The result was obvious.
Three Horned Pigs, unwilling to stop, collided with two SUV's on a narrow road, and after screaming a bit, were entangled and crushed.
The sound of the Horned Pigs clearly told the gruesomeness of the situation.
Lieutenant Kim Soo-ji saw this and quickly ordered the soldiers in the back of the dump truck, ”Aim!”
The soldiers distracted by the intense shock created by the traffic accident in front of them came to their senses.
In their gun sights, they saw one or two Horned Pigs stumbling around in shock.
”Start firing!” There was a flurry of gunfire.
During the rain of gunfire, Kim Tae-hoon threw an arrow high into the sky.
The arrow without feathers rose up continuously. Kim Tae-hoon raised his arrow high enough that he couldn't see it anymore
When the arrow disappeared from Kim Tae-hoon's senses, it no longer received the help of his telekinesis. It began to fall
Shiii!
The sound of the falling arrow was eerie. It sounded like a hawk diving on prey, trying to cut off the target's life at once.
The arrow, which fell like that, began to change its path at some point, and it hit precisely in the middle of the forehead of a Horned Pig struggling in front of the gunfire.
Pok!
The arrow disappeared into the body of the horned Pig like magic, without a trace.
Quik!
The Horned Pig gave a short cry, fell to the ground and began to twitch.
”What the heck?”
”It suddenly fell down, didn't it?”
The soldiers, who did not see the arrow, cocked their heads at the sudden fall of the Horned Pig that had stood up against their bullets.
On the other hand, Kim Tae-hoon frowned.
'This is not enough.'
Kim Tae-hoon focused on pulling out the arrow embedded in the Horned Pig.
But it did not come out. He could not draw the arrow in the body of the Horned Pig properly and clearly.
This was a characteristic of telekinesis. It was not all done just by mere imagination.
Just like a top artist who had the skill to visualize a perfect object with his eyes.
Just like a doctor with experience, training, and ability, who could image the state of a body without opening up a patient's body.
Telekinesis did not respond to vagueness. Only when he imagined a clear fact could it show true power.
'That's not enough.'
It meant that Kim Tae-hoon was still limited and lacking in ability with his telekinesis.
Kim Tae-hoon clicked his tongue and looked over at Lieutenant Kim Soo-ji.
Kim Soo-ji nodded. ”Stop shooting!”
At her shout, the rainy gunfire stopped at once.
If they had been just dazed and pulling the trigger, they would not have stopped shooting.
Soldiers not shooting was evidence that self-control and discipline now existed, and it was evident that they were now blooded.
It was evident that they were no longer cowards who were too scared to judge how many empty cartridges they had thrown up, that they had become hunters who had repeatedly fought with monsters, not survivors struggling to live through being slaughtered by repeated monsters.
Of course, they did not stop shooting just to confirm that...
Kim Tae-hoon hopped down lightly from the back of the dump truck. Bang Hyun-wook came to his side, holding his steel pipe.
”Big brother, which one do you want?”
”You pick first.”
”Me first?”
”I'll give you a chance to look good in front of your favorite girl.”
”I think the right one is livelier, so I'll kill it.”
After finishing the words, Bang Hyun-wook pulled out the Energy in his gut and sent it through his whole body. His whole being heated up in one breath.
”Uh-cha!”
The sound of him circulating his Energy caught the attention of the Horned Pig, which was still full of Energy and the Strength to fight, and a mite ornery after being shot all over.
A Horned Pig stared at Bang Hyun-wook, while the other one was already rushing toward him.
Looking at this, Kim Tae-hoon also boosted his telekinesis in his gut. At the same time, he held up his fist. His right hand went black.
That was how the battle began, a battle of the Awakeners!
