'Thanks to Jang Sung-hoon, your head won't hurt.'

Kim Tae-hoon, who finished reminiscing, settled the situation in his mind.

Now, Messiah's Awakeners had become Kim Tae-hoon's hunting dogs. From now on, the Awakeners must dedicate forty percent of their gains to him.

Of course, in return, Kim Tae-hoon should provide them with a safe hunting stage.

'He's a smart guy.'

This did not simply stop there. If Messiah's Awakeners became Kim's hunting dogs, ordinary survivors would also be forced to follow him.

The only way for ordinary people to fight against the Awakeners and the monster was with weapons like guns, which were owned by Kim Tae-hoon and the Mac Clan.

Of course, it was not perfect.

'It's not just him who's smart!'

Not everyone was happy with this system, and there was no way that the system could control everyone completely.

At this moment there had to be a group of people preparing for a scheme, and a few of them would be smart.

Surely there would be problems. There would also be some pretty serious problems, to the extent that people died, and the person who caused trouble in return would also die.

Jang Sung-hoon was also well aware of the facts. That's why he said, ”It's necessary.”

'All I have to do is kill the devil.'

A devil snake.

Its body would be the strongest symbol and shield.

Everyone who survived if Kim Tae-hoon captured the devil snake would be indebted to him, and they would have a sense of duty to protect his existence in order to survive in the future.

'All I have to do is kill it.'

That was why Kim Tae-hoon's thoughts were not so complicated. There was nothing complicated to think about. It was obvious what to do!

”Boss, boss! I finally made a video! I took a photo of him!”

It just wouldn't be easy...

The world was white from the blizzard, and that was all they could see. The horrible traces of the disaster that struck the world for several days were not hidden in the snow.

In other words, the places where there was no snow were still covered with terrible marks.

It was the history of the New Jungdong Station.

The station, which had impressive walls, floors, and ceilings, was nowhere to be found as if a mad herd of bulls had passed by.

Ssss…

The sound came from a huge monster passing by.

It was a snake.

It had black scales, darker then the lightless station.

But it was too big to call a snake. It couldn't be compared to the term 'a big snake'.

At the same time, it was incredibly powerful. When its body brushed the wall lightly, the bricks collapsed like a waterfall.

The snake that seemed impossible to stop, stopped in front of a mound of dead bodies.

It fluttered its tongue in front of the stack of dead bodies but did not start eating at once. Instead, it tasted the bodies with the long-forked tongue.

Sssss!

Its action of pulling its body back was the same as a little boy who was very picky about food.

In the end, it ignored the pile of corpses and moved out of the station right away, hunting living things with hot blood instead of cold bodies.

As it did, the sun fell on the snake as it left the stairs.

Its inverted triangle-shaped head appeared, and its yellow eyes appeared.

Its eyes were beautiful enough to be called gold rather than yellow, but they could not be thought of as beautiful by anyone who looked at them right now.

In front of those eyes, no matter how fierce the beast was, it would be a rat in front of the snake.

The wound on its solid black body was also apparent in the sunlight.

Initially, it had no intention of stopping. Its body gradually began to emerge from the dark.

Then a cold wind blew past.

At the touch of the wind, the snake paused. It soon turned away as the wind picked up.

Soon after, it began to swallow the pile of corpses.

The dirty pile disappeared, and when it the snake was gone, only the cameras were working quietly behind it.

5.=======

At the end of the video, everyone who watched it was frozen.

Even though the image, and even the picture quality, was not clear, and there was only a vague shape of the being in the dark, its existence o overwhelmed everyone who saw it.

They were at a loss about what to do.

'Oh, God, we need to kill this? No way. This monster is entirely different than those we've hunted before! No matter how hard we try…! It's a monster that is no match for a Black Orc!'

”We can't kill this. We can't kill it.” Bang Hyun-wook was the first person to speak out.

Shaking his head, Bang Hyun-wook's eyes trembled like they had when he first faced monsters.

His voice brought Jang Sung-hoon to his senses. His sober expression soon hardened.

'It's my misjudgment. I did not think it was that strong… I was sure it was a powerful monster, but if we used the grenades and claymore we have, and if we added the Telekinesis of the boss, it would be enough to win… '

It was Jang Sung-hoon, not just anyone who claimed to be able to hunt the devil snake.

No, all plans made by Jang Sung-hoon were based on the fact that Kim Tae-hoon hunted the devil snake.

Of course, he thought the chance of winning was good, as it was Kim Tae-hoon, and he had the power of Telekinesis.

Telekinesis was a very good combination with weapons, such as guns and bombs.

If he controlled something like a grenade with his Telekinesis, he would never miss the target. The Mac Clan now had better firepower than a rifle, such as grenades, machine-guns, and claymores.

He had thought, 'We can't kill a dragon or something, but isn't it enough firepower to kill a big snake?'

But it wasn't that much when he saw it. 'I'm wrong. This is not a guy we can hunt right now.'

Major Kim hunting it was like a good-looking mouse that hunting a cat.

If he was lucky, he'd bite it, but eventually, he would be a prey.

”Boss, let's give it up for a while. Once you look at its patterns of behavior, it doesn't like the cold. Therefore, if we keep throwing dead bodies…” Jang Sung-hoon quickly modified his plan.

Kim Tae-hoon did not respond to Jang Sung-hoon's urgent remarks. Instead of answering, he played the video again in his mind.

When it was exposed to sunlight while coming out, its image was taken by a camera he had installed. He recalled the look of its body.

'Its level of protection is beyond that of a Black Orc's.'

It was not a vague guess.

The abandoned subway station was very dangerous. Walking around the station with bare skin was like going naked on a thorny path as a human being.

Even if it didn't get hurt deeply, it would get scratched.

The devil snake, however, had lived for several days in the ruins of the station, and still boasted its beautiful body, just as clean as a glass, not showing a speck of damage.

But there was a scar on its body.

'The Sword works.'

The Sword of the Imperator, which coveted blood and with an unknown master, had proved that it had hurt the snake.

'The conditions themselves are much better than those against the Black Orc.'

Furthermore, Kim Tae-hoon had various weapons to use against the devil snake.
