My Range is One Million

Jaehwang reloaded and repacked his weapons after he got back to their headquarters. He was still a little tired but he still had an unfinished work to do.

He received a call from Mr. Hwang about all the details on the mission. He was told that he should not share anything about it with the others.

—How’s your rest going?

—I’m finished…

Jaehwang replied to the spirit while he was packing up for his mission in Kyoto.

—Also, what do you think I can find in Kyoto?

Jaehwang asked the spirit, he still needed to ask her about it.

—Even if I find what I’m looking for, it’s strange.

—What?

—I’m going to Kyoto to find that magic but I’m still not too sure about it. It might be in a different place.

—Where do you think it could be?

—Anywhere in Kyoto.

—Anywhere? What do you mean?

—I have to gather some energy for that magic but what if I can’t gather some good energy? Many people have become permanently weak after they’ve been exposed in all that negative energy. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a spell that caused that much damage.

—A long time?

—Yeah. It’s been 500 years. It makes me wonder about what they did back then, maybe their energy was much more powerful than anywhere else.

—But it’s been 500 years…

Jaehwang said as he couldn’t believe how long it’s been.

—Well, you better get going now.

He was supposed to be resting since they got back to their HQ but he was no longer thinking about that. After he received the information about the mission, he made his way to Kyoto since they were still in Japan.

—We should track down those guys from the Japanese clan that tried to assassinate us.

They couldn’t get close to the Daehyeon clan at the moment but they could find the people from the Japanese clan that was sent to assassinate them. Mr. Hwang helped Jaehwang and gave him some information to find them, but it wasn’t enough.

—We’ll surely find those people who used that magic.

The people who tried to assassinate them were currently traveling somewhere to escape the consequences of their actions but Jaehwang won’t let them get away. They were a big part of the reason for Sooji’s death. It was important that he had something fast enough to travel with and luckily, he got his help from Dongchul.

Although Dongchul didn’t like to just hand things away like that, he decided to help him. Jaehwang was about to leave through the window before he noticed that Dongchul and Ogura were still busy talking with each other.

“I’m going now.”

Dongchul looked at him with an annoyed look on his face and shouted, “But where are you going!?”

“It’s a secret.”

“We’ll go with you!”

“No, stay here,” Jaehwang replied and quickly walked out of the door.

Dozens of shadows quickly ran inside the darkness of the forest.

“Stop.” One of the shadows said and every one of them stopped on their tracks.

“Will we find the East sea after we get across this mountain?”

“RIght. If we make it past the ocean, we’ll be free from Korea’s anti-aircraft defense system.”

“Stop all of the tension and tell us. This place could be the most dangerous of them all.” Said Sasaki, the leader of the assassination team.

They have been constantly on the run ever since they tried to assassinate Jaehwang. They decided to travel through the Eastern Sea to erase their tracks as they ran towards the metropolis.

“We’re all so tired.”

“I know but we can’t rest just yet.”

They were all very tired but they couldn’t stop running. The scary point was that their very own information network was the one who shared their information to the military and police.

They were made up of 47 people at the moment so they’ve decided to form a truce. Their forces in North Korea was pulled out prematurely and now, their best decision was to run away. They couldn’t call for help or communicate since they had to keep their tracks completely clean.

“If we go to the Deajin Port, then we’ll be sent to those waiting for us in North Korea. Let’s go, everyone!”

“Yes!” Everyone shouted as a reply. They cleaned up their footprints from where they stood and flew up into the air.

However, what they didn’t know was that they could still be seen by a certain someone even in the darkest skies.

“Why didn’t they buy anything.” A guy said as he looked at a monitor, he then placed some ice cubes in his water and drank it.

“I’ll go and buy it.”

“Those idiots… How many drones are there?”

“There are 500 of them.”

“Good.”

“Leader! The Hunter Officials of America plans to visit you soon.”

“Great. Give me the information to their location… what are they coming for?”

“They said that they wanted to talk about Russia.”

The team captain smirked and sat back in his chair comfortably. Following their steps were all too funny. They traveled through the air to hide but they didn’t have to work that hard to eliminate their tracks. Even though they were working hard on the run, they could still easily be found.

“How is everything going?”

“We’re almost done with the arrangements but the impact from the fight was quite severe.

“So, the usual?” The leader then took a deep breath. He wanted to act as if it wasn’t a big deal but the problems were in fact, huge.

An elite group of level six and level five hunters were sent out to assassinate someone. That team was made up of 50 people and now, all of them were on the run to avoid Jaehwang’s wrath.

“I guess we’ll have to figure something out.”

“Should we send out a warning to Mr. Roy?”

Mr. Roy worked with Mr. Hwang as some of the top leaders in their team.

“Sure. I can’t believe there’s this much damage.”

He picked up a receiver and then…

“Huh?” He looked at the monitor and there was something that looked like a bird… he moved the mouse and took a closer look.

“What is going on?” The assistant next to him asked. The team captain took another sip of his icy water and replied,

“Looks like someone else got a hold of the information about their location.”

“What?!” The assistant said with a voice filled with worry and shock. Both of them knew exactly what it could have been and that’s why he was so worried.

“Someone is trying to catch the Japanese assassination team.”

“Who do you think it could be?”

“I’m not sure exactly who but, maybe a monster?” He replied.

“Will they be okay?” The assistant asked. Although they were powerful, they didn’t know who or what they were running into.

“It’s hard to tell. I have to contact Mr. Roy,” The leader said as he picked up the receiver.

Stomp… Stomp…

The sun quickly rose above the mountains. Of course, they were very cold and after waking up from a nap, they got themselves back into the skies.

They couldn’t stay in one place for a long time since they were on the run.

“Open the magic information monitor.”

It was an item that would help them find out if anything magic related happened in an area.

“Yes, leader!” Sasaki said and they all stopped. Each of their shadows grew bigger as they got close to the ground for landing. After sitting for a while, they began to clean up a little and tried not to draw any attention towards them.

“This place…”

“It can’t be good.” The leader of the group said as Sasaki put her gear up into a tree. It seemed like a safe place but they still needed to be cautious… he had a bad feeling about it. They tried their best to stay warm as they sat on top of the Taebaek Mountains.

“Stay alert everyone, anything can happen.” The leader then handed Sasaki a piece of paper. She bit her finger and wrote something using her blood.

[Long-sighted nocturnal eye]

He could see anything through the day and night.

“There are no monsters here…” He said as he checked to see if there was anything dangerous nearby. They were almost finished with their journey but somehow, he sensed that there was something dangerous above them. “Everything seems fine.”

Sasaki then went up into the tree to rest. They felt like they could finally rest and regain their energy. But then, they heard something.

Swoosh… Pong

Trapped, The end.
