Chapter 104: Extra Kill
“Ahhhh!!!”
The monster planted its poison in the person’s leg and it left him there to die as he moved on.
Five minutes have passed, a strong dense smoke then came from its horns and spread across the area killing every plant and insect in its path.
It was a dangerous 6th tier monster and it had killed countless hunters that dared to hunt it. They all got killed when the monster’s fog of poisonous venom reached them. However, besides its poison, they are not that dangerous on their own unless they had come in large numbers. If one could find a way to maneuver around its ability, it would be possible to beat that kind of monster.

—What happened here?
—Looks like a monster was here.
—Hm.
Jaehwang took out an arrow and walked forward. He was wearing a camouflaged outfit and his face was covered with a hat. He set a trap onto the ground and flew up into the air as he surrounded himself with red energy.
—How long do I have to do this?
—I don’t know. Let me do some calculations.
He took his phone out of his pocket and opened its notepad. The spirit then said,
—Forget it. It’s already been past three days.
—What?
—I know but is setting a trap a bit too predictable?
—Maybe. But aren’t you too tired for anything else?
They’ve been doing a lot over the past few months so Jaehwang planned to make things a little simpler and easier at the moment.
—I guess so.
The spirit replied as Jaehwang got his feet back on the ground. He sat on a rock and looked at the directions on his phone.
“Has it already been three days?”
Gwanjae scheduled a forklift to come here in three days but it didn’t make it here since it got attacked by a mob of monsters while it was on the way. Everyone on the board got away except for one.
Jaehwang had planned to talk to Gwanjae about something that he thought of once he got back. It was something dangerous but he knew that Gwanjae wouldn’t be worried about that.
—We’ve run into 50 monsters and animals by now.
They were currently exploring the habitat where they could find them. They needed some experience for their calculations, those wild animals were pretty quick but Jaehwang wasn’t worried at all. He did a lot of studying about this area so he didn’t have to worry now that he came prepared.
—Let’s go find another one.
—This is boring.
The spirit complained but Jaehwang just got back on his feet and started walking without a word. He adjusted the trap to make it stronger and 30 minutes later, the spirit noticed something. It was something even bigger than the one staying still in its place as if it was frozen.
—Found it.
—Let’s see.
Jaehwang went closer and with the help of the spirit, they started their attack.
Deukdeukdeuk...
He pulled the string as far as he could and launched multiple arrows. Jaehwang couldn’t even see exactly what it was or basically anything at all due to all that darkness.
[Unique Strong arrow]
Swoosh! Boom!
The arrow flew through the air, leaving a trail of red energy behind as it went by before it reached its target. It left a beautiful cloud of red smoke where it landed.
They heard the monster scream.
—I think we got it.
—Really?
So many different kinds of monsters existed but when someone attacks, they would step back in fear. Those who still had the will to fight would just rush into battle to only be killed by a surprise attack from a prepared sly person.
The monster that he attacked was the one that caused that poisonous fog but fortunately, Jaehwang seemed to have already thought it through as pulled out a smaller arrow.
Pang!
He launched an arrow with the same red energy and it exploded upon impact.
Pang!
Kwang!
Pong!
It made its way into the monsters leg which made it bleed but that’s not what he aimed for. He made a mistake. The thought of running raced in his mind. He decided that he would but he changed his mind and aimed for its head once again.
Pong!
He launched 14 arrows, leaving his hands numb before he stopped to catch his breath. He loaded his arrows again since his raid was not over just yet.
—I thought it was still...
The spirit said. She looked around and helped him in his aim. It didn’t seem to have hit anything.
—Clearly, there’s nothing over here.
Watch our target closely. All of our attacks were unable to reach him and that’s the reason why we needed to set a trap first. He then checked his clan mark for the second time. Jaehwang took a deep breath and pressed the button on his headset. The spirit then shouted,
—These monsters are attacking me!
—Huh?
Something must have shown up if the spirit had to shout like that.
—Step back. I’ll take care of this...
Jaehwang said in a serious tone. He was completely focused as he planned for the perfect time to attack. Jaehwang then reached to the monster standby team through his headset.
—It’s Solo one.
‘Solo one’ was Jaehwang’s codename.
—Solo one, hello. It’s the team leader, Mr. Park. Is the raid finished?
—There’s a problem.
Jaehwang said and explained their situation.
—So I’ll have to go on alone...
—I see. Be careful.
The team leader replied. Jaehwang then went on to track down the spirit and the monster.
—Get me their location...
—Give me a minute... here.
The leader transmitted their location to Jaehwang.
Extra Kill, The end.
