On the sea of Incheon, which was colored by the light of dawn...

A fishing boat was moving slowly over the sea, making a breathless sound. There was silence above the fishing boat, and the sea was also still.

In the silence, the fishing boat made a breathless sound, and it stopped as a man appeared from the steering house of the stopped boat.

'Yeongjong Island, it has been a long time.'

The man with a Sword on his back, Kim Tae-hoon, was immersed in memories for a while, looking at a golf course that was dimly visible where the stopped boat was pointed. It was not a memory of golf. The place of memories was the huge Incheon International Airport beyond the golf course. 'Incheon International Airport.'

There were a few cases where Kim went abroad, leaving through Incheon International Airport. Most of the time, he went abroad through another route, became a civilian after his mission, and returned via Incheon International Airport. For him, Incheon International Airport was the place marking the end of a long mission. It was also a place where he realized that he survived.

'I have no bad memories.' That was the only comfort that Kim could have in front of the green-eyed monster he was hunting from now on.

”Hoo!” Kim Tae-hoon sighed briefly. He could see that the harsh winter has passed. That was the end of his sentimental recollections.

He moved to the back of the boat and stood in front of one of the countless boxes there. He opened the wooden box and the bag inside. There was something in the bag that seemed to be like a musical instrument, but it was something quite different: a gun with an elongated barrel, unlike a typical gun.

'It's been a long time.'

The sniper rifle PSG-1, a luxury beloved by snipers all over the world, and more familiar to him than any other weapon he had ever used. It was his partner, willing to share his fate when dealing with an enemy that was stronger than him.

That fact has not changed much now. The enemy that he had to deal with from now on had formidable power and force. Of course, he did not intend to play head to head against the enemy. That was what he did best.

'I will show you what armed forces demonstrations are.'

7.

Armed forces demonstrations were not just an exercise of violence. Its original purpose was to cause psychological pressure to the object through the demonstrations.

So, what do you need to exert psychological pressure on a target? The answer was simple: fear.

Nothing was more effective than the fear of death. But that did not work well if you gave them a simple fear of death. You had to make them fear that they would die at some point in time and for some reason.

'Hoo.' On the rooftop of an apartment complex located on Yeongjong Island, he drew his breath, looking through the sight at a Brown-skinned Orc's head, prepared to deliver the fear.

Tu-woong! The sniper rifle hurled the bullet forth with a dull sound. The bullet began a short journey and eventually completed it by penetrating the Orc's forehead.

The Orc with a hole in its head fell backward. Soon, a crowd of Orcs gathered around the corpse. The Orcs were angry at the death of their kin, and they let loose with their fearsome cries at the threat that fueled their anger. However, the sound did not reach him, as he was about a kilometer away.

Tu-woong!He pulled the trigger again. The Orcs that gathered at the dead bodies of their same race also became corpses. One by one, the corpses of the Orcs piled up, and at some point, they no longer approached the dead.

He pulled his eyes off the panoramic sight. Five. It was the headcount of the Orcs that he killed in this hunt.

'I've barely killed a hundred in four days.' It was certainly an inefficient hunt.

If he appeared in front of the Orcs immediately, dozens of Orcs would gather for him. It would take the time to breathe in and out to make the horde into a pile of dead bodies.

On the other hand, the number of Orcs that he could kill through sniping was not even ten per hour. Nevertheless, the only reason for such efforts was because of the distance of one kilometer.

'Now the learning period is over.'

This distance, which could be reached in one minute by a cheetah running at full speed made death not just death, but death from nowhere.

'There will be a crack sooner or later.'

The option for such an unprecedented fear was always the same: hiding. There was no other option. The Orcs would hide everywhere to escape the death of the unknown.

'All it has to accomplish is showing the bottom of ogre's patience.' It was their leader that was the real problem, after all.

Twin-head Ogre.

When the Orcs hide, it would start getting hungry.

The Twin-head Ogre was a big two-head glutton, and the amount of food that it ate in one day was enormous, dozens of human corpses.

How long could it hold on to its hunger?

No, was there any patience to restrain its hunger on such a crazy monster?

Kuhuhuh! Kahahah! At that moment, two shrieks from Mt. Baekun began to fill Yeongjong Island like thunder. The two sounds sent a bitter cold through him, like the chill of winter returned.

'As expected.' He gritted his teeth tightly.

The fear of the Twin-head Ogre was a very simple fear, unlike the fear of the unknown inflicted by Kim. But the power was overwhelming.

'Not a joke.'

It was why he was striking from a distance.

'I'm not going to be able to fight this fear head-on, either.

'It is impossible to face this fear. The moment I'm exposed to this fear, my stomach is going crazy, my brain turns white, and my heart starts to run like crazy. And that's all I can do when I'm exposed to the fear: I can't use my telekinetic force to fly or to handle the Sword and an Arrow, or I won't be able to protect myself with Energy.'

Of course, the opportunity for him to attack the Twin-head Ogre at the moment of starting the battle with it was pathetic. In order to save the limited opportunity, he would have to make a gap that was not there.

Therefore, he did not overdo it.

'After a while, it'll run around like an angry bull without warning, and that's the only chance I'll kill.'

He disassembled the gun skillfully and put it in his bag, and began to run on the roof of the apartment.

Paat! He leaped straight to the roof of the next apartment.

He set a new record for a long distance that would shame an Olympian, continued along the roof of the apartment again and made another leap.

Using the apartments as stepping stones, he vanished quickly.

Kaaah! Keu-uh! The Twin-head Ogre was ten meters tall, with a huge body like a building. It grabbed two Orcs in its hands.

Kr, Kr! Krrrr! The captive Orcs struggled to get out of the grip.

But when the Twin-head Ogre closed its hands, the bones crunched like sugar sticks, the eyes of the two Orcs burst out with the sound of bone splintering, and the blood began to ooze from their eyes and ears. The Twin-head Ogre put the heads of the dying Orcs in its mouths.

Crunch! Crunch! Two mouths began to eat at the same time, an Orc in each hand.

Chomp! Chomp! Two horrifying sounds at the same time.

The Orcs gathered in front of this horrifying Twin-head Ogre were shaking, but had no thought of running away. Some of the Orcs with black skin pushed a few of the trembling Orcs toward the Twin-head Ogre.

The Orcs pushed forth were terrified, and the Twin-head Ogre, finishing two Orcs at once, reached out to the closest Orc before it.

At that moment, the Twin-head Ogre smashed the head of the Orc, instead of grabbing it.
