Chapter 143: The Chaser 2  

“Huh...”

A male patient wearing white clothes was walking down the hallway with a nurse.

The both of them were walking very slow and weak as if they were sleepwalking.

Dingg... Click... Click

They got onto the elevator at the end of the hallway. The male patient was holding a sword in his hand as he looked around before the elevator door closed.

Someone then suddenly walked up to the patient in the elevator.

He walked up to him with fast steps as if he was about to attack the patient.

They went up to the tenth floor of the hospital building and it was filled with everyone from the hospital.

It was the director’s hospital building office.

The director was already gone as his shift was over. Joonghwi was sitting in his chair at his desk a few minutes ago but now Caroline was sitting there.

“Did you find it?”

“Not yet.”

“What’s taking you so long?”

“I will find him soon, I promise.”

“Alright.”

She turned the chair back towards and desk and looked around. She picked up a sword on the desk and handed it to him.

“This one won’t break so easily.”

“It works really great.”

“I approve. Ever since you were young you had a relatively low conscious barrier so I expected you to fail us. I think this is a weapon purposely made for a level 7 hunter... If we carefully go through things like the first time then we’ll surely be the winners here.”

“Do we have a backup plan?”

“Yes. Everything for that is currently being arranged. We’ll find him for sure.”

“Good. Well, is that everything?”

“Yes, that’s all...”

“Okay.”

He said with a bit of a surprised look on his face. She gave him the special sword to use especially for finding him. The sword was so powerful that even a level 7 hunter was no match for it.

The sword had a mind of its own. However, it could not refuse orders.

Before he left the office Caroline stood up from her seat and began to speak to the sword in her hand. It was covered in red energy.

“We wish for you to stay on our side and keep our people of the hospital safe.”

Swoosh

The sword grew covered in even more energy.

“We hope that you will help him and give him confidence until the end.”

Deuk...

The energy from the sword was overflowing with power.

“Give him power.”

Wooshhh

A sick patient then slowly walked down the hallway. Jaehwang’s eyes were red and he suddenly stopped in his place.

Everyone were walking down the hallway like zombies. Jaehwang then scratched his head as he was confused and asked,

-What is going on here?

-They’re reinforcing a spell. It’s weird.

The spirit replied.

-What kind of spell?

-It has a very simple structure but one top of that there’s a mix of energy. It looks like they kept researching preexisting spells from decades ago and just upgraded them. They’re starting!

Everyone in the office then stood completely still and quiet.

Then...

“Ahhhhh!”

They all looked at each other then randomly attacked each other.

Up until then it seemed just like a gather but it now no longer felt that way.

They fought as if each other had became the enemy. However, they soon heard chaos coming from the hospital hallway.

Kwang Kwang! Kwang!

A hunter was then standing in the entrance.

“Ahhhh!!!”

Everyone screamed and ducked their heads. Someone from the room then extended her hands towards the entrance and set the guy on fire with electronic energy.

-This is really all over the place. Do you have any ideas?

-Something difficult and fast or something easy and slow?

-Something difficult and fast.

-That person could die.

-Oh well.

Jaehwang replied.

-You’re not joking? Are you sure you don’t want to do it a different way?

-I got this.

-How many?

-Six for a small place but twelve for a bigger place.

-That’s a lot.

-I could give you a menu of a few suggestions.

-Well...

Jaehwang replied while still deciding.

The place was filled with traps from the enemy. Although Jaehwang much rather prepared to fight without much planning he had to think of the perfect strategy this time.

However, he knew that no matter how much he planned he had no idea what would happen to those in the hospital.

-Let’s just do it my way. In the meantime, can you scan them to see what’s going on?

-Okay.

Whoosh!

Pang pang pang!!

Jaehwang began shooting arrows. Red energy was flying up like fireworks. With the help of strength from the spirit his arrows were much stronger. Everyone in the office room were running around and screaming in fear.

Arrows were flying everywhere. There was nowhere to hide.

-Scan finished!

-Thanks!

Jaehwang’s eyes were glowing. He aimed for a red point.

He began to pull back the arrow string preparing to launch.

“Carefully.”

The red energy formed into a glowing arrow.

It was the sight of the powerful skills of a true archer.

[Exploding Arrow Shower!]

Jiiiijiiiikkkk!!!

Dozens of arrows came falling from the sky like a waterfall made of red beams.

The shower of red beams covered every inch of the ground.

Seconds later the red beams flew towards the people who were standing in the hallway.

Pang pang pang!!!! Pang Pang!!!! Pang Pang Pang Pang!!!

“Ahhhh!!!”

There was no escaping them. There was no way to stop them. They were everywhere. The beams flew all the way down into the hospital.

Pang Pang Pang!!!

The people who were fighting were too late to escape the beams. Although it didn’t change its effect on the people, the beams disappeared after stabbing into someone.

-They’re dead.

-Are you sure they’re all dead?

The spirit asked. Jaehwang looked up and watched the last few arrows fall from the ceiling.

“Don’t you think so?”

Jaehwang asked.

“Try something else just to make sure.”

‘Moving Exploding arrow’

Kwang! Kwang! Kwang! Kwang!

The arrows flew up into the air going through the ceiling. After they reached up into the deep sky they came flying back towards the ground faster and stronger than ever. But, the people in the hospital found a clever way to dodge them.

Kwang! Kwangg!!

The floor of the director’s office that was on the highest floor of the hospital building was completely shattered. Even the desk and the weapon on it was destroyed. The arrows were destroying every ceiling in the hospital.

“Wow”

The floor of the director’s office broke into three pieces but Caroline didn’t seem surprised at all and looked at the hospital’s ceiling in amazement.

Tak...

Jaehwang shot an arrow through the hole in the ceiling.

JakkJakJak

“Of course, it’s that level 7 hunter. Great!”

Caroline clapped her hands as if that really was happy news.

“He’s more powerful than I thought.”

“Definitely. I still have a lot to do to get ready.”

“Hmm.”

Caroline said thinking.

“This could be fun.”

She definitely a powerful person. When he met Dongchul for the first time again in the Alousu he could feel that he was exploding in anger.

“Well, it looks fun but it’s very disappointing.”

“Yea.”

Caroline then handed Jaehwang a short knife. There was small writing engraved at the end of it.

“Just as I said, you’re really powerful.”

She said.

Jiiijiiikkkk

The sword was overflowing with energy.

She then started to move her hands in a circular motion over the sword while mumbling a spell.

Jjiiijjjiiikkk!!

Her hand started to glow and the light started to surround Jaehwang. The light looked like fireflies flying around him.

“Okay, you’ve become a useless thing now.”

Caroline said and the firefly lights flying around Jaehwang with the intention of taking the weapon out of his hands, but nothing happened and the fireflies just went through his hand. Jaehwang tilted his head and asked her,

“Is that it?”

“It’ll take a while for the effects to kick in. That’s when you’ll regret it. But, it’ll be too late then.”

“It’ll be fun.”

“....”

It was the first time Jaehwang seen Caroline look so serious.

“I wanted it to be harmless but now I have no choice.”

Jaehwang smiled at her boastful talking.

“I never thought you would make it this far. Even though I won’t fight back I can still call for backup, right?”

“What? You have to be joking, haha.”

Caroline replied with a laugh.

A level 7 hunter mentioning having no choice but to call for backup. Looks like he couldn’t play his cards right this time. There weren’t any communication devices for him to use anyway.

“Who are you going to call? Haha... I think you’re too overconfident...”

-What should we do?

-I don’t know.

At first Jaehwang couldn’t think of a way to request for backup.

But, he was rather thankful than worried.

-I’ll use one of the new arrows.

-Okay.

Jaehwang decided to go the simple way.

Teuk

Swoosh

The arrow flew through the air.

Caroline then itched her head and said,

“Are you done talking nonsense now?”

“Not yet.”

Jaehwang replied.

Red energy light then began to surround him again.

Jjjiijjjiiiikk....

Swoooshhh... Swooshh.... Swoooshhh!

The Chaser 2, The end.
