My Range is One Million

Nothing was going well for him. The story from the press and other clans didn’t match up and it caused the people to doubt their claim.

“Assistant!”

“Yes, sir?”

“Bring Sooji here!”

His assistant then nervously replied, “She disappeared.”

“Ugh, that useless woman,” Songjae mumbled in frustration. Sooji wasn’t the type to just disappear without saying a word.

He then heard the voice of Sasaki, someone from the Japanese clan that his clan worked with.

“Songjae.”

“What is it?”

“I have a suggestion.” Songjae then looked even angrier and turned to Sasaki.

To him, the reason his plan failed was actually because of Sasaki. He wouldn’t be here to sort things out if she didn’t break the spell in the secret room. He was definitely not looking forward to anything that she would have to suggest.

“It would be a good thing for you to be cautious of what you say,” Songjae replied.

“Haha, wow, you seem really mad. I only have one suggestion and if you succeed this time, then maybe Jaehwang’s friend can be taken into the Japanese clan.”

Songjae then looked slightly shocked. Sasaki was a very important person in the Japanese clan and could recruit whoever she wanted if they were worthy.

“So you really think that’s a good suggestion?” Songjae answered.

“Haha, think what you want. But how is it?”

“It’s good. But, I’ll need Sooji’s corpse. Where could she have gone?” Songjae said, thinking out loud. Dead or disappeared, both were the same thing to him. He just needed to track the clan’s previous movements.

Sasaki then smiled as he heard his answer. “We’re in the process of tracking them at the moment. We also sent out our elites to assassinate…”

***

Jaehwang ran away with Sooji in his arms. They were able to slip away and escape with the spirit distracting everyone in the party. The biggest problem was that Sooji was left in a terrible condition. She was covered in blood and she had a difficult time breathing.

Jaehwang was taking her to an air base that was close by. He thought it would be quick and easy but he made a terrible judgement. The problem wasn’t the distance, but the people that went after him.

If he wasn’t carrying Sooji then he could attack them but he couldn’t. He had to run in many different directions to try to avoid them.

Swooshhh…

Something glowing and sharp suddenly flew past the side of his face.

—Careful, something’s coming from your right.

The spirit warned him and he quickly turned to the left.

Swooshh… Pong

He dodged two shots but was hit by two more that he couldn’t avoid. He got hit in the leg, he was about to fall but he was able to regain his balance as he pushed himself forward.

Pang pang pang!

He ran as fast as he could while dodging all of their attacks.

“Stop!”

Teuk teuk teuk…

Jaehwang was then surrounded with all that chaos.

He stopped running as it poses a threat for both him and Sooji. He then looked for the clan members that were attacking him. They hid in the dark with their black clothes and they moved like ninjas.

“You can’t escape from us. Give up.”

Jaehwang didn’t answer the mysterious voice as he continued to look around. He then felt someone stabbing him.

“If you make things easier for us, then that would be great.”

A male voice casually said. The spirit then shouted,

—Look out!

She warned him as dozens of people began to surround him. The spirit was able to sense their quiet and sneaky movements and she had a good idea on how to protect Jaehwang from their attacks.

—Hang on, I’ll get rid of them.

“This is the end of the line.” One of the people after them said.

It was true, they can’t run anymore.

“This is the end for you.” One of them said with a weapon in hand and Jaehwang just brushed it off with a laugh. Jaehwang saw a loophole in his weapon and technique so he was able to dodge it at the moment he tried to attack him.

‘I didn’t want to have to do this but…’

As the situation continued to get worse, he was left with no choice.

Jaehwang carefully put Sooji on his back. He refused to give up on her. He was about to try something he had been practicing every day. It was something that he hadn’t perfected yet but at that moment he had no choice.

—I have to try it. If I mess up then I’ll need your help.

—You’re really going to try it?

—Yes.

Jaehwang replied. The spirit decided to help although she was nervous as neither of them could be sure of the outcome.

—Okay.

The spirit said and took a deep breath before handing him an arrow that he instantly launched. One of the attackers shouted,

“Ha, you call that an attack?” They noticed that he made a mistake and so, they had begun to attack as well.

“It’s time for the finale…” Jaehwang said.

Whiii…

His body was then surrounded by a dense red energy. He gathered all of his strength and also begun his attack.

“Die.”

They noticed he was planning something so they shot a dozen of arrows at him.

Pang… Pang pang pang!!!

He got a few hits but Jaehwang didn’t even flinch. It didn’t hurt him at all.

“Shoot him again!”

Swoosh… Swoosh…

They shot another barrage of stronger arrows that engulfed Jaehwang’s position with a cloud of smoke. His clothes were ripped and his wounds were shown.

“New strong arrow!”

Swoosh… Swoosh…

Jaehwang used the arrows that he recently earned with his last level up even though he didn’t have that much practice.

Pang!!!

The moment he pulled back the string, a red flash came followed by a deafening explosion.

Kwang! Kwang kwang kwang!!!

The area was then covered by a carpet of explosions.

“Duck!!”

One of the clan members that went after him shouted. They all covered their heads and scattered as they tried to run away. The spirit then launched a missile-like arrow that chased them down.

“Ahhh!”

Pang pang pang!!!

The elite team that was sent to assassinate him turned pale as soon as they realized that they can’t block or even dodge his attacks.

“Captain!” One of them shouted as they got worried about their leader. The entire area was then lit up with a bluish glow.

Kwang kwang kwang!!!

They heard that Jaehwang was strong but they were still shocked, realizing how powerful he actually was. There was now nowhere for them to hide. They were sent to assassinate him but the tables seemed to have turned.

“Stop him!”

They started to get worried as soon as their numbers fell one by one.

“This isn’t going well.”

“Ugh…”

They were clearly failing and would possibly end up having no choice but to retreat.

—Looks like they’re gathering together… This girl is so heavy.

Time was passing by and things were getting more difficult on their end as well. Jaehwang then overheard them talking and he learned that he was sent here to assassinate them.

—Kill him and destroy all the evidence….

—Yes, sir!

The others replied to the leader.

—He’s too strong! We’re gonna die!

—Just destroy him!

Jaehwang healed his wounds but he still sustained a lot of damage. But even so, he was still in a good enough condition to keep fighting.

He then launched something covered in flames.

Swoosh…

It was like a grenade disguised as an arrow.

“Darn it!”

“There was no way that they could dodge it.”

Then…

Swoosh…

Jaehwang then launched an arrow that hit the back of one of their soldiers before it exploded.

Kwang kwang kwang!

The area was then covered with a haze of dense reddish smoke.

Teuk teuk teuk…

Sticks and rocks were flying everywhere and Jaehwang quickly checked if Sooji was okay. She was bleeding from her eyes, nose, and mouth.

“…J-jaehwang.”

“Shhh, don’t talk. I’ll take you to a healer, don’t worry.” Jaehwang replied as Sooji struggled to speak. Her condition was only getting more and more worse as time went by.

Sooji’s Death, The end.
