Chapter 85: Attacking The Oaks  

Attacking The Oaks

“Unbelievable!”

He said in awe. This wasn’t planned for their video. Everything was being filmed on his action cam but it was still unbelievable even though he was seeing it with his own eyes. There’s no way that he was a beginner.

Tingting...

Jaehwang quickly connected the string and pulled it to begin shooting arrows once again. He changed the string in a total of ten seconds, he didn’t even check to make sure it was fastened perfectly.

-You’re doing so much.

-That’s good.

The lines were especially hot. There was a special line that the spirit gave him. At the end of the string was a giant shield protecting him from the Oaks that were coming towards them. Jaehwang continued to shoot arrows, aiming at them with a sharp gaze.

He was then passed another arrow.

“Strong Guided Arrow!”

Pang!

The arrow exploded, making a loud noise around where Jaehwang and DalJeon were. The Oaks then held up their shields to try to protect themselves.

There was an Oak with a shield that was sturdier and bigger than the others. They were stronger compared to the Oaks but that line could be crossed easily if the Oaks had weapons. Their shields were also doing a really good job protecting them from their attacks.

The Oaks then shouted as they continued to approach their destination. Their legs were terribly injured and the shields were failing but they used their healings skills to move on.

After hearing their shrieks, they could sense their threatening movements. They were quickly heading towards them like lightning.

“Fire!”

The Oaks smirked and raised their shields over their entire body. They were effortlessly blocking the attacks and all of the high ranked monsters remained unharmed.

They were very confident in themselves.

A bolt of lightning then fell down and struck them three times with its glowing line stemming from the skies.

Pang!

The arrows were about to reach them so they hid in their shields but it was no use. It was all exploding arrows.

+140

+8900...

-That was great. If you continue to do well then your rank will go up.

He continued to shoot with determination glowing from his eyes. He was usually as good as a level 2 or 3 hunter but he saw that he had leveled up in the status window and he was now stronger than he was used to be.

They boasted their high defense but they knew that they still had to be careful because they recognized that there were skilled hunters on the side of humans as well.

Jaehwang was currently at level 9, rank C. Just one more level and his rank would go up. Leveling up was one of the most important things for a hunter. The higher the level, the better the performance.

-Really? Well, then shall I make that my goal and reach it?

The spirit felt more motivated and handed him more arrows. Jaehwang seemed very determined so she knew exactly what kind of arrows to pass him.

-Pass more effective arrows.

-I was thinking... Nevermind...

There were hundreds of Oaks coming towards them and if they didn’t use a more effective arrow then it would have been difficult to catch them. Since there were so many of them, leveling up wouldn’t be difficult at all.

Teuk teuk...

He adjusted the string for a second time, he checked his hand and then said, “Quick resurrection”

His injured hand was then healed. He had gloves worth 3 million dollars but it wasn’t long before it was torn to pieces. The repair charges would have been much more than its original price.

Click...

He took off the gloves and threw them on the ground. He then put on another pair and prepared himself to shoot once more. Just like the last time, he started off slow.

-Retreat! They’ve planted a bomb. The timer is set to one minute!

“Damn it, when will they come out! Everyone, get on the bus!” Jonnghwi shouted.

“Yes, sir.” They all replied and rushed inside. He put in the key and started the engine just as the time passed.

Whoosh...

The bus quickly took off just in time.

“Great.”

The area blew up with a few pieces of metal flying all over.

“Let’s go!” Joonghwi looked ahead and saw that there were still dozens of arrows attacking the Oaks.

“Thanks.” He said with a smile knowing who was shooting the arrows. Even if it wasn’t Jaehwang, they couldn’t have escaped easily without their help.

“Joonghwi, look out!” One of the platoon members shouted.

“I got it!”

Kwang kwang kwang!!!

Joonghwi stopped the bus 100 meters away from the barrier as a series of explosions started. They could see Oaks flying up into the air due to the explosion but after reaching the ground, they rejoined with the others.

They drove towards the barrier once again.

The wave of Oaks then started running towards the wall. Some of them were about to reach it but a few explosions pushed them back. The human soldiers were still in the process of making the trap for when the Oaks came close.

Kwang Kwang!!

The second explosion erupted. That explosion was much more fatal to the Oaks close to the wall than the last one. They watched the Oaks fly into the air and back onto the ground from the military bus.

“Argh!” Joonghwi groaned as he kept his eyes on the road.

The Oaks that survived that was left in a very critical condition. Even the high ranked Oaks couldn’t save themselves.

The engine of the military bus started to overheat. The explosion had damaged the bus making it very hard to manage and maneuver.

The soldiers in Justin point started launching missiles. The wall blocking them then disappeared and they began to slaughter the Oaks using their firepower without a shred of hesitation.

“Whew...”

Jaehwang stopped with the attacks after the second explosion. He took a breath as he stared at them. His energy quickly came back as exhaustion was no longer his problem since his increase in energy according to what he saw in the status window.

All of his strength increased by + 1, making everything easier than before. It had been a long time since he had shot arrows but it was the first time he had shot arrows like that.

-Can you check the amounts arrows we have left?

-There are 8,291 common arrows left... 23 Teleboard arrows, 41 baby Teleboard arrows... 3,200 arrows with an uncertain type and 48 arrow strings.

We already used about 3000?

-It seems so. Let’s take it easy from now on, okay? We have to save some since we’ll need them in the future.

-Okay. Let’s just use the uncertain types and baby Teleboard arrows.

-Got it. First I’ll go and see what’s going on.

-Thanks.

She went to see if the platoon members escaped and Jaehwang sat down for a rest. The spirit got the arrows and went to check to see what was going on.

DalJeon then carefully walked up to Jaehwang. At first, he thought that he was just a beginner but after seeing what he just did he realized that he was wrong. “Excuse me...”

“Yes?” Jaehwang replied.

“I’m sorry,” DalJeon said as he fell onto his knees. He underestimated him. He was powerful. “I really thought that we’d have to retreat.”

He was a little confused until he realized the truth. He checked his second level hybrid license but that could have been fake. Being in level two meant he had no reason to refuse the mobilization order. If he was a beginner hunter then he wouldn’t have been able to do all of that. The penalty for refusing the mobilization order was severe so beginner hunters couldn’t refuse it.

Of course, Jaehwang did really care about anything like that and what people thought. DalJeon was very surprised to see his true skills as he didn’t know that he was a very high ranked hunter. He was as powerful as the country’s strongest weapons.

He was thinking of asking ‘are you an idiot?’ but after seeing him face those Oaks, he couldn’t get a word out.

“I...” DalJeon nervously reached out his hand to Jaehwang who was kneeling down.

He was feeling extremely nervous that he couldn’t even talk. He didn’t like how the filming came out on camera. He cursed himself why did he have to film so poorly, why did he just stand there in surprise? Nothing was going right for him at this moment.

“I don’t know what’s wrong but, it’s okay,” Jaehwang said.

“This may sound like only an excuse but, I didn’t know you were such a good hunter. I’m really sorry.”

“Haha...” Jaehwang patted DalJeon on the shoulder.

He got scared after seeing the military soldiers and froze in his place but he shook a bit every time Jaehwang touched him.

Jaehwang has gotten a little more used to not wearing his hood but he still feels more comfortable wearing it. So then he looked at him and said, “Really, it’s okay.”

“Ah...” Daljeon then lifted his head and saw Jaehwang take off his hood.

It was the first time he had seen him without it. He was speechless. He gave him a blank stare and a bitter smile as he stood up.

He became hesitant in taking off his hood because of reactions like that. Although his face looked similar to his current one, it definitely had an upgrade since he was born again leading to those reactions that annoyed him the most.

Attacking The Oaks, The end.
