Chapter 82: Deadly Jaehwang 3  

-I regained the spells I lost when I received the energy from the tiara.

The spirit said in his head.

-Huh? Spell?

-Yes. It’s an ancestral tablet but it’s magic... It’s overflowing just a bit but it seems that I’ll be able to use it.

-Right now?

-It’s difficult now, isn’t it? If I use it right now then I’ll get exhausted and lose strength... Is that what you want??

-Right. So, should I prepare on my own?

-Yes. Exactly. However, what I am telling you now... It’s pretty simple. You could get a 100 percent increase in power using fifth tier energy.

-Can I get to that much?

He didn’t know its exact limit but he was guessing that it was about 40 percent. But of course, the spirit knew much more about that.

-And if there’s not an additional 20 percent increase at 6th tier then there would be a 1 percent increase at seventh tier.

-I thought you didn’t find anything.

-Right... However, I’m working hard on getting stronger. Anyway, what are you doing? Wanna practice fighting?

-Thanks.

Jaehwang then shook his head at the spirit’s question. Her suggestion wasn’t a bad idea.

-Thanks because...? Well, you have to get stronger. You need to get through the third tier. Why don’t you just use the energy as you please?

The spirit asked.

-I can try. Just keep trying to get to the fifth tier. I’m just at the third tier so I’ll use what we have.

-What a petty thought... I failed to reach the fourth tier so I don’t know if I could get to the fifth.

-Dismissed

The spirit would originally use her skills as much as she liked but she decided to use her energy to help Jaehwang instead. It will take a few steps and will be a bit of a hassle but she believes that it would all be worth it.

“Okay, We’re ready for filming...”

DalJeon said after he adjusted the angle of the main camera on the wall. He then went and put a USB headset in his ear and turned it on.

-Click... The EC32 location wasn’t checked in the attack... Click click... Heavy power suit clearance complete... Click... Quickly! Fast! Movement! Click... Facing the gate of rapid attack and a giant attack. Click...

“Hm...The faster ones seem to have already escaped. The mobilization order refusal penalty has become dim. And... Ugh, it’s so loud.”

There were a lot of radios flying into the net and the noise was out of control. His hand movements then blocked the net.

-The patrol platoon is complete... Click... There’s a silent attack from a monster around the northwest side. The masses can sense it! There’s a scale of three! There’s an invader in their habitat. They’ve all lost consciousness!

“Hm, a monster...”

He took a piece of paper out of his pocket and he used his pencil to write something down.

“They’ve already started to attack... All of them are great hunters but it’s a big problem if we can’t get in contact with them.”

Taking down the monster would be a challenge but after hunting it, the quality of its meat would still be very expensive. It seems to have weighed about three tons and a quick attack would be dangerous. If you have a good trick to capture it then things would get easier. There was a business in America that specialized in handling the meat of monster corpses but it was unfortunately destroyed after a vicious attack.

There’s a simple way to catch the monsters. They could try just one attack from a quick heavily armed military bus and they would have a good chance of succeeding, however, the monsters would also have a chance of escaping their attack. That’s why they would have to recruit as many hunters as possible to help.

“Of course, looks like we’re seeing it face-to-face.”

After recording the cruel scene of the string control, it was then time for editing. After that, they uploaded the video to YouTube and reviewed the video on his laptop.

‘He’s such a pain.’

He thought to himself with a smirk as he stared at Jaehwang.. To him, he looked very young and youthful.

DalJeon then reached out his hand for a simple reason. He didn’t know that he was a beginner hunter. He looked nothing like a beginner but he could tell that he was skillful and he would gain so much profit by publicizing his skills into the internet.

He was able to defeat the Oaks even though they had powerful weapons that were just as good as those that humans had and their senses were even better. He found it hard to believe that they could just be entirely defeated by an arrow.

The real reason that he chose Jaehwang was that the place that DalJeon was in at that moment was restricted to civilians and going through it could permanently block him out of Justin point. So to avoid that, he just used Jaehwang’s hunter license and got through the entrance so they could get themselves a good filming spot.

They officially settled the percentage of the profits that they were going to share even before they signed their contract. They were going to divide it by six but they decided on something else.

He knew a lot of information on even the rarest of monsters and those were the most valuable tools of his trade. His income was already steady but this was his chance to get much more compared to that. He had an idea like this before but things happened and the information was completely changed.

“The video turned out great.” He looked at the camera with a smile thinking that they were lucky to find such a good spot.

Deuk... Deuk... Deuk... Deuk...

The sound of a soft drum begun to fill their surroundings. At first it was unnoticeable but soon it was all that they could hear. They could hear the sound of engines starting five minutes earlier. The troops then heard the drums from the other side of the wall and ten minutes later, they could hear it everywhere.

The drums made the ground vibrate. It shook them a little but it was enough to make the army troops nervous. The Oak soldiers then started to appear from the horizon.

“Huh?...” One of them said as he looked through the binoculars with his mouth wide open.

A few seconds had passed and he felt like he longer needs it. They looked like a swarm of ants oozing out of the horizon. They were walking towards Justin point and they seemed to be moving very slowly but It only seemed that way because they were far away.

It looked as if a huge wave was coming towards them. They turned their backs on Justin point’s geography commercial rear cliff and focused on the front. However, the Oak soldiers were everywhere. It was too late to turn back and that’s why when they saw the monsters, it felt like they were also coming towards them.

-One, two, three groups have shut down the entrance... Everyone is in their battle stations.

-I have alerted the 8th platoon.

Joonghwi ended the radio conversation as he kept an eye out the window with his binoculars.

“This is the first time I’ve seen an Oak army like this...” He said.

“Really? This is your first time?” One of the platoon members replied.

Joonghwi had the most experience out of all the clan members. Some of them thought that this couldn’t be his first time to see something like that.

“Hmm, the military discipline is harsh. Defeating the Oaks will be difficult... They look very strong and have sturdy helmets. They look pretty much unbeatable but could they just look that way?” Joonghwi said and the platoon members faces looked a little anxious. They were armed to the teeth but so were the Oaks.

The Oaks was a very powerful type of an intelligent monster which was skilled at commanding armies in battles.

They had to plan everything in detail to prepare for the fight. When the Oaks were hungry, they would freely roam around to find people to prey on. But that wasn’t the only reason...

They wanted to rule the land. There were firm structured armed soldiers. In some situations, the Oaks have lost fights against other soldiers and with that, the patrol troops were one of the few that could completely destroy the Oak villages. But, the Oaks can still put up a good fight when they unite under the same banner.

“Woah... It’s so many of them.” He said as he watched them cover the ground in the distance.

“Stupid idiots., what are they thinking.”

Justin point wouldn’t fall that easy but they still had to be cautious of the damages that the attack could cause.

Joonghwi observed them through his binoculars. He felt anxious, he took a deep breath and then whispered, “...This isn’t good...”

He continued to watch them. They all had giant shields that had humans tied in front of it. They were those who were captured and taken hostage, the clothes that they wore were torn up and they were all covered in blood.

Boom...

They then heard a loud noise. It came from their center and made the Oaks stop on their tracks. They were right in front of the five-kilometer tall wall. They were armed but both sides knew that shooting each other at that point would be wasteful. They had more but both of them were aware of the weapons that they could use.

“Today would be difficult,” Joonghwi said. The Oaks have shown a great improvement since their last fight with their kind. “They’re strong...”

The Oaks wore a black heavy steel armor together with their helmets. They seemed to have lots of private funds by the looks of what they have. They then looked around as if they were inspecting the place and then, they all stood still in a line. After a little while, they started to walk march forward.

“They very look prepared...” Joonghwi said looking at their armor, thinking that they were as strong as a sixth tier monster.

They were strong; they had great armor, high-quality armed weapons, and big shields. They continued to get closer and closer. One of them then turned around to the other Oaks and shouted. They didn’t have much more distance left to cover but after that, their response to was more of a bestial shriek.

The Oaks then started the attack.

“What are they doing?” Jaehwang asked DalJeon.

“I’m not sure. Are they underestimating me? I’m much older than them...” He replied.

Of course, they didn’t expect any respect from the Oaks. He then looked through a pair of binoculars.

“They have big shields...” DalJeon said. He was trying to estimate in his head how many of them were there but they were so many that he couldn’t even tell.. The ground up ahead was covered with Oak soldiers. It looked like a battle scene taken out of a movie.

They started to place their shields in front of them as they covered half of the distance left between them and the wall. The number of guns they had looked to be about 6,000. That was an estimate from just one quick glance but it was much easier to see as they got closer.

All of the weapons in Justin point were set up and ready. It was an explosive and a dangerous situation but the Oaks were getting close so they had to do something and hope for the best on their end. The only problem was that the explosives wouldn’t go far because of the people that were tied to their shields.

A few of them were struggling trying to escape. They started to get even closer making their screams louder..

“Save us!”

“I don’t want to die!”

Said the humans that were cruelly tied to their shields. The oaks kept a straight face and continued moving forward. They were then about three kilometers away and so the Justin point soldiers finally started making commands. They had no intentions to save the hostages.

-It’s time to fire!

The leader said through the radio.

Pang! Pang! Pang!

Pang! Pang! Pang!

Someone was controlling the 30mm machine gun on top of the military bus. The top of the Justin point barrier was covered in smoke from all of the weapons that were being fired since the attack had started. The Oaks just continued to press on as they raised their shields.

Teukteukteuk... Teukteuk... Teukteukteuk

Pang... Pang

They couldn’t even hear their voices through all that gunfire. The 30mm machine gun was definitely getting a direct hit. Some of them thought that the oaks had predicted this situation but even so, they wanted to find a way to rescue them.

Deadly Jaehwang 3, The end.
