“The time we spent together may not be memorable, but I assure you, it’s unforgettable.”
-MemoirsOfLadyJuliet, translated by J. Thompson

Somewhere in the kingdom of Solair, a woman with golden locks appeared.

She blended in with the locals and walks towards the highest building in the city.

Upon reaching her destination, Leona pull out an ipad.

A red dot can be seen moving nearby.

A demon.

Andromeda is immerse inside her workshop so Leona moved solo. It doesn’t matter even if they don’t work together anymore. Their individual strengths already reached a level that can make demons ran away in fright. The two of them are famous among the lower demons in the mortal realm. They call them the Nightmares of Demons.

Her target here in Solair is a demon who possessed a man who do illegal slave trading. No need to show any mercy to such a scum.

Leona made sure to hide her presence to not alert her target, she laid low at the highest building, hiding herself completely with the help of the darkness of the night.

She pulled out her sniper rifle from her Dimensional Storage and waited for her target to appear within range. She prepare for the perfect timing to shoot.

This Sniper rifle was a gift from Andromeda.

Dawn was an assassin on Earth.

Through a long period of training from her past life, Leona learn to keep her body steady, and her breathing even. When a sniper encounters an unexpected situation, they cant have their heart start racing and start sweating. They must remain calm at all cost. A sniper needs to have a powerful self control to completely restrain their instinct to panic and steady their heartrate. They must erase their fear and emotions, turning into a deadly machine.

Even though Leona did not change her posture or even move a little, she make sure to keep tightening and relaxing her muscles to help circulate blood. This is a dangerous world so when something unexpected comes up, Leona who had been lying motionlessly for hours, could quickly engage in battle or run away from danger.

A person’s patience will be tested in hunting their prey.

And everything paid off when her target appeared in her scope’s lenses after waiting for two hours.

The demon is standing in front of the window inside his home, drinking wine.

A sniper must consider how the wind might affect the flight of the bullet before pulling the trigger. A sniper must also hold their breath while shooting, because if you are breathing then you are moving.

When every factor that needs consideration was met, a loud bang echoes through the quite night, startling all the birds nearby.

The cries of the birds awaken the sleeping population, frightening them because of the eerie cries.

Leona ignored all of it, she made sure that her target is dead through the lenses before she vanished.

Mission Accomplished!

***

Leona opened her tired eyes the next day.

With greater power, she felt like this world is turning dull.

Last night, she could just barge in and kill the demon with a single punch, but that would be boring. She decided to play as a sniper who hunts down its target.
