37 Episode 37 - Territory Dispute, Part III (2/2)
'If Boss kills the devil snake, the number of parties will explode at that moment, and a group that has a lot of power in it, and that has a smart person, will try to establish a Clan like us.'
Of course, if Kim Tae-hoon could not kill the devil snake, everything they had prepared so far would collapse like a mirage.
”Do you have anything you're looking for when you keep looking at the map?”
”We have to check the monsters' territory, because there's a high probability that there's a strong monster in the apartment or housing complexes.”
”That's great. Honestly, I'm just thinking about whether big brother can kill that snake.”
If Kim Tae-hoon failed to hunt the devil snake and was killed, there would be only despair in Bucheon.
There would be scenes of desperate humans hunting each other in front of monsters.
Literally, the humans who survived in Bucheon would self-destruct.
But at this moment, Jang Sung-hoon did not think he would fail in the hunt, which is why he came here.
”We cannot get an answer even if we think about it. What we're going to worry about is after the boss kills the monster.”
'I'm sure it's here. There must be a secret warehouse of Baek Sung-taek, where he kept the artwork he has stolen.
'I can't see through the map, so there's no way to know. Isn't there a map relic, like a map nucleus?'
8.======
Gulp!
Kim Tae-hoon took a photo of his right hand with a smartphone after eating a monster stone.
=[Basic Abilities]
- Strength: 100
- Health: 89]==
At last, his Strength level exceeded 100 points. It was amazing.
'It's as fast as when I took all the monster stones.'
But what was even more surprising was that Kim Tae-hoon had not been monster hunting recently. Nevertheless, the speed at which his stats rose was as fast as when hunting monsters on the front line.
'Jang Sung-hoon was right!'
It was all thanks to Jang Sung-hoon. His system made survivors hunters.
Hunters hunted monsters, and Kim Tae-hoon's share increased as did the number of monsters they hunted.
Of course, it wasn't all for free.
Kim Tae-hoon raised his head.
The Sword of the Imperator, the eerie Sword, was hovering like a satellite near him.
The movement was very smooth. It was like the Sword was moving on its own.
It was the result of hard training.
'I am now at a satisfactory level.'
The potential and effectiveness of Telekinesis were infinite. Infinite did not mean that a user with that kind of Telekinesis could use everything, just like F1 racing cars mean nothing to the public.
Just because a child is given a surgical scalpel and scissors that a noted doctor has used, does not make the child a noted doctor.
The same went for Kim Tae-hoon. The value of his Telekinesis was infinite, but his ability to deal with it was not.
Of course, through training, real fighting and practice, the endless possibilities would gradually become his potential.
However, Kim Tae-hoon could not afford to learn something new as the time was limited to him. Instead, he tried to do well what he could.
Faster, stronger, more precise!
He practiced moving and controlling the Sword more quickly and more precisely with his Telekinesis.
'Cut.'
At the thought of Kim Tae-hoon, the Sword of the Imperator shot out like an arrow. It flew toward the tire located behind him and passed through the top of it.
Shi-yik!
A piece of the tire that had been cut off in passing fell to the ground.
Near the piece of tire that had fallen off were more pieces of broken tires.
The ones on the bottom were thicker than fingers, and the later ones gradually getting thinner.
On the top of the pile of tire pieces was a thin slice of paper.
Kim Tae-hoon blew out a long breath like a steamboat about to start off...
9.
The devil snake had not been in a good mood lately.
Only cold corpses were served as meals, and eating cold in the cold weather was a hardship and humiliation.
The devil snake didn't want to go somewhere colder, so it endured.
Ss! Ss!
But the devil snake no longer wanted to bear the hardship. Today it intended to fill its stomach with living beings, and it would not even look at the pile of dead bodies.
Of course, just in case, it headed to its dinner table, as usual.
And as always, there was food again. But there was only one corpse this time.
Churr!
The devil snake was angry at it. It was going to satisfy itself with only one sacrifice!
Moreover, the body smelled disgusting.
Shaa!
The devil snake could quickly see that the body was not a sacrifice, but a poisoned bait. It was even angrier, and it did not intend to endure its anger.
It was going to show its dignity once again, and that this was its territory. It began to climb the stairs without hesitation.
The cold air that descended the stairs did not stop the angry devil snake. It appeared at once in the subway entrance.
The snake that greeted the sunshine after a long time revealed its great splendor under the sunshine.
Boo-aang!
At that time, a huge bus rushed at the devil snake with all its speed, as if to welcome it.
Kwa-kwa-kwang!
The bus hit the devil snake, and the vehicle crumpled like it was made of tofu.
On the other hand, the body of the devil snake was only shaken, not falling, and kept its place without falling.
The yellow eyes of the devil snake lit up with an awful murderous spirit. It swiped its tail toward the bus that had smashed into it.
Kwang! The bus broke in two like tofu broken in half by chopsticks.
As if it was not enough, the pavement of the road was also crushed by the tail of the devil snake, leaving a broad scar on the ground.
The blow left the world quiet. A terrible silence filled the surroundings of the devil snake.
”AWWWOOOO!”
Howling broke the silence. It shook the devil snake's body, and its eyes narrowed to slits, evidence of a terrible rage.
It was ridiculous that a smelly Werewolf in its own realm was Howling. The devil snake had no intention of accepting it.
”AWWWOOOO!”
The devil snake began to race toward the Howling.
The place it arrived was an empty lot for building construction.
A human standing alone in the vacant lot greeted it.
