SC1 7.3 - Unsuppressed Precision Shooting

Waiting was the biggest part of shooter job. My effort to kill Old Jack using precision shooting was not an exception. While waiting for Old Jack to show up, I spent my time eating melon seed while observing the rocky opening.

A moment ago, a pack of six white rumps took their time to drink from the small pond in the opening. Now, they were leisurely grazing the scattered grass patches near the pond. The buck and its harem were really nice mid-size game. By using subsonic round, I would definitely knock down 2-3 of them before the rest realized the danger and escaped to the woods.

Unfortunately, only hunter above C-rank could digest meat, fish, and fruit from the wild. Other than that, House of Hunter also forbade hunter below B-rank to harvest wild game and wild fruit. Well, it’s not like I and Ariel would suffer from lack of money and food, so the prohibition didn’t bother me.

Then, I was checking the clock in my tablet and found it was already 4:20 pm, when the white rumps suddenly ran in hurry to the woods. My heart instantly skipped a beat, and a moment later a big wyvern gently landed on the opening.

It had big head like a catfish but with two small horns, long neck like snake, wide batwing, giant eagle legs and claws, and long tail like lion. It stood in its leg and had about 3 meter tall shoulder height. With ease, I recognized this wyvern.

‘Welcome home, Old Jack,’ I muttered before turning my gaze to Ariel and signaled her to silently crawl over to me.

A moment later, Ariel already kneeled behind my shoulder and checked on Old Jack using a binocular.

“He has a little girl with him,” Ariel said in whisper.

“Yeah,” I said as I used the rifle scope on top of TRG M10 to check the kid.

She was about five-year-old and she was still alive and kicking. Old Jack put her on the ground before him. He looked straight to the stay still little girl, and I could see a small grin in its wide lips. Well, in a moment Old Jack would gulp down the little girl, unless I did something to stop it.

The problem was, Old Jack landed on a spot near the trees line in the opening edge. It was about 350 meter shooting distance from my position.

“Berg,” Ariel said in low voice. “Can you kill Old Jack from this distance?”

“I can try, but it will be like announcing our present with a loud scream.”

Resolved instantly flashed in Ariel’s eyes. “Let’s try it, and save the girl.”

“Got it,” I said as I detached the suppressor and replaced the subsonic AP round with regular AP round. “Once I give you the signal, go get the little girl immediately.”

“Ariel will definitely get the little girl,” Ariel firmly said. “But, can you climb the cliff without a rope.”

“I can.” I made final dial for the scope as I added, “And once I reach the cliff top, I will set up the rope to lift the little girl.”

“Okay.”

Wasting no time, I then took aim at Old Jack’s head. By using combo sub-moa precision rifle and match round, I could head shot human head from 400 meter away. Now, I had the combo I needed, the wind was also dead, and the target had head several times bigger than human head.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

With ease, I calculated aiming point that would deliver impact point at slightly above Old Jack’s left ear. From my angle of shooting, this line of fire would send the round straight to Old Jack’s brain. After that, the 6.5 mm CBJ AP round would do the rest.

When you fired it from 12” barrel, the 6.5 mm CBJ AP round would with ease penetrate 9 mm thick armor plate and left a 6 mm diameter entry hole from 400 meters distance. It was a penetration power that even 7.62 mm NATO couldn't achieve.

As for my Sako TRG M10, it had 16" barrel as I wanted to give the projectile a bit more of stability. And so, I wouldn't have a problem to defeat Old Jack’s hide and skull, and create nice tunnel in his brain. And in case one tunnel in the brain was not enough to put him down, I would make another one until his brain became Swiss cheese.

And finally, I gently squeezed the trigger as Old Jack pulled his head back while opening his huge mouth.

Bang!

6.5 mm CBJ had very gentle recoil, so with ease I maintain my sight to Old Jack’s head, and saw he slightly jerked as the round hit his head. However, he was still standing still in his two legs. Without delay, I send followed up shot.

Cla-clack!

Bang!

A moment after the second round hit his head, Old Jack’s body tumbled to the side. Then, his legs made a repeated weak kick as its body laid on the ground. I’m afraid it was a sign of Old Jack’s regeneration worked in full rotation to repair his brain, so I tried to prevent it.

Cla-clack!

Bang!

Another round hit Old Jack’s head, and the puddle of blood around his head became wider. At the same time, Ariel checked my tablet before turning her gaze to me.

“Berg, you already killed Old Jack.”

I was instantly taken back and took my eyes from the scope. At the same time, Ariel exited the lodge and climbed down to the rocky opening. She reached the opening surface in no time. Then, with everything she got she ran over to the little girl who still sat in her place, right in front of Old Jack’s dead body.

Without delay, I put the TRG M10 to my inventory and replaced it with suppressed P320 Flux Raider. Then, I started the climb to the cliff top, while in the distance monster roars filled the air to the brim.

When Old Jack showed up in an area, low-rank monster would stay away from his resting spot up to 2 km. In a glance it was far enough to give us escape time, but orc would close that distance in matter of minutes.

So, with everything I got I pushed myself to reach the cliff top as fast as I could. Fortunately, the cliff wall had lots of solid grip hold and foothold. With ease I found easy climbing route and reached the cliff top. Then, I was about to set up the climbing rope when a head of little girl popped up in the cliff edge.

I immediately offered my hand to help her made final lift to the cliff top. Then, while the little girl sat in the cliff top while wiping away the sweats in her forehead, I went to check the cliff wall. I found Ariel was only a few meters behind the little girl. It seemed she deliberately took the climbing route next to the little girl’s route to guard her in case the little girl had a slip of foothold.

“Good job,” I said to Ariel as I helped her to make final lift to the cliff top.

“Yeah,” Ariel happily replied.

I then turned my gaze to the little girl. “Is she a demi-human?”

“No,” Ariel replied. “Kara is a D-rank from Silva Family.”

Big question mark popped up in my forehead as I deeply looked at the adorable little girl. “She is a D-rank from Silva Family?”

“Yeah.”

“How could Old jack snatch a D-rank junior from Silva Family?” I asked as thousands wonders filled my mind to the brim.

“Berg, we can ask her later,” Ariel firmly said. “For now, we have to erase our trail.”

“How do we do that?”

“Cover the whole rocky opening using tear gas. It wills hinder low-rank monster ability to track our trail for a few minutes.”

“I see.”

Wasting no time I bought three crates of 8-pcs tear gas grenade. We then deployed it to every corner of rocky opening. Kara also helped us throw away the tear gas, and she could throw it as far as the trees line in the opening’s edge.

A moment later, the tear gas had blanketed every inch of the opening. We then started our attempt to leave the area. It would be nice if we have a chopper to pick us up. We only had to go to RV and then kiss our goodbye to our pursuer.

Unfortunately, our circumstance was not that good. We had to carry the evasive maneuver by relying only on our feet and fate.
