Chapter 70: Meeting A Friend In A Strange Place
Kwang kwang! Kwang kwang kwang!!
Whoosh…
“Huh…”
There was a loud explosion and Jaehwang was thrown back, disabling his tiger hunter ability.
“…”
The plan was not going so well. It was his first time using it and he didn’t expect it to explode that much.
Taktak… Tak…
Jaehwang then stood up and dusted himself off, he started to get tensed up with his current situation.
Click… Click…
There was a sound of sound of something hitting into metal three meters away from the bombed area. He was frightened at the idea of one of them being alive. He then prepared to defend himself in case something was there.
Click…
Most of his armor had been blown off besides the ones covering his right arm and chest. His left arm was burned and the rest of his body was not in a good condition. He tried to walk but he soon lost his strength and fell onto his knees. The thing that surprised Jaehwang was his face.
His helmet had blown off and revealed his young complexion. His hair had been burned off and his face had red burns but it looked familiar.
He got up and he tried to take a better look at his face and he then saw that it was his friend, DongChul.
“DongChul?”
Jaehwang dull expression was brightened.
He didn’t know what to say. He went training to be a Gagseog army trooper but he asked himself why was he with the Bileons. Jaehwang’s mind turned blank.
“…..”
Dong Chul then turned around and faced him, their eyes had met and there, he realized his mistake.
Dong Chul suddenly ran towards him at full speed to attack. Jaehwang was surprised so he stepped back and ran but Dong Chul caught up to him.
Kya!
He tried to punch him with all his strength but Jaehwang quickly dodged it. It was almost like a clever surprise attack but it was also too predictable that one might call it stupid. His attacks were just fine even though both of her arms were dislocated, it felt like he’s fighting a fifth tier monster.
-Get away from him you idiot!
-I know!
Jaehwang replied to the spirit as he tried to get away with Dong Chul right behind him. All of his armor had fallen off so he was able to run much faster than before. He looked back and got even more anxious as seeing it as his tail.
Jaehwang had never run so fast before. He thought of hiding and using his tiger hunter skill but the time for that was already up.
Kwang kwang kwang!
DongChul then tried to punch him again and Jaehwang ducked his head to avoid it. He then got an arrow and stabbed the tip of it into DongChul’s forearm.
He buried it deep into his skin as he aimed at where his joint was supposed to be. Dong Chul looked as if he didn’t feel it at all and reached out his hand to try and grab Jaehwang’s throat.
“His skin isn’t cast iron. Well then, next!”
Jaehwang dodged his hand and gave him an uppercut. He thought that using attacks that violently shook the brain was a way to make someone instantly lose consciousness.
Kya!
DongChul then tried to elbow Jaehwang’s head in response to his attack. He dodged it again but then DongChol quickly healed himself from his previous attacks.
“His recovery skills are amazing.”
He understood all of Jaehwang’s attacks. Jaehwang was hit by the attack. Until then he didn’t have a hard time getting affected by those kinds of blows.
Jaehwang then tried to escape by running up the nearby tree. DongChul then followed him and punched everything as they went up.
Woosh…
Jaehwang then flew to a different tree without looking back.
-Is that your old friend?
-Yeah.
-He wasn’t always like this, was he?
-No, something’s wrong.
He was a Gagseog, he was attacked dozens of times but he didn’t die and seemed completely fine. He could even heal himself. His skin was burned and stabbed but he healed everything.
He seemed indestructible but Jaehwang knew his weak spot.
He could escape to safety as he was healing himself but every time he healed himself his body’s volume would get smaller. It must take a lot of energy and there was still that arrow that was stabbed into him.
-What’s going happening?
-I found his weakness.
He escaped up into the tree and prepared his Teleboard arrow.
“The exploding arrow!”
Pang!
He had two arrows to choose from but he just launched one after another.
Kwang kwang!
A large explosion knocked Dong Chul back at the nearby giant tree.
It looked like it did a lot of damage but he still had a lot of strength left. He made a loud screeching noise as he hit into the tree. Jaehwang was anxious so he launched another one. He didn’t want to do it but he had no other choice.
“Moving strong arrow!”
“Exploding strong arrow!”
“Moving strong arrow!”
“Moving exploding arrow!”
“Exploding strong arrow!”
Kwang kwang kwang! Kwang! Kwang! Kwang kwang!
He continuously launched arrows at DongChul. The first arrow flew right off of him but one by one, the attacks started to affect him more and more. He kept going until he was drained from his energy.
He launched another Teleboard arrow with his bleeding fingers. His blood was all over his bowstring and if he didn’t use his healing skill, it would get only worse.
“Now stop.”
His chest that was covered in armor was now riddled with injuries due to the arrows that Jaehwang gave him. DongChul was screeching in pain even though he tried his best to go easy on him. He was supposed to aim for his head but he didn’t want to kill him.
He was still conscious but he couldn’t stand. He could use his healing skill but he was completely out of energy.
Jaehwang wanted to spare him but he would just continue to try and kill him. So he raised his bow once more and set his head in his sights. He couldn’t pull back the string no matter how hard he tried, he was his only friend.
The spirit then spoke to him.
-Maybe there’s a connection to find with you and your friend’s energy.
-Huh?
Jaehwang responded with a confused tone as he lowered his bow.
-What do you mean?
-Your friend’s strength started to fall but now it’s become quite strong. It’s just a guess but isn’t your friend an expert at control…
-I don’t know.
A red light then started to come out of DongChul. The light went up to the sky and then landed in the stacked corpse of the dead Bileons.
-That looks like something he’s controlling.
-I see.
Jaehwang looked over and saw what was going on. There were no skills left that DongChul could use but he Jaehwang just used all of his strength to overpower him. Jaehwang then got a Teleboard arrow and pulled the string.
“Moving arrow-….”
He prepared the best attack that he could do.
“Exploding-…”
Whiii… Swooshh… Swoosh…
The wind then gathered at the center of his arrow.
“Strong arrow!”
Jiijijig!!
A stream of white light covered the arrow from the tip and made it vibrate. He gathered all of the energy that he could dish out and forced it inside.
“Die.”
He then released it.
Pukang!!
The arrow had left a giant sonic boom that sent him flying backward. He avoided the impact as much as he can and when he got up, he looked at the Teleoard arrow in the air.
Pang!!
The pile of Bileon corpses exploded and two of them came running out.
“Pastor! Look out!”
It was hard for the pastor to follow along and he yelled as he saw the fast arrow. With his skills and experience, there was a half-and-half probability that he could have blocked off the attack.
But it was an attack from a level six hunter. He could take blows from other classes of hunters but taking a shot from a level five or six was a different story.
He took out a cross shaped sword and used his strongest skill. He gathered all the energy in his body and was able to block off the attack with a lethal technique. The arrow and his attack came in contact with each other and the arrow went flying in the opposite direction.
“Phew…”
He used all of his strength to block it off and instead of blocking it off completely, it flew off to someone else.
“Pastor…Look out…”
Pang!
The arrow’s explosion was louder than his voice. He believed in his faithful servant and didn’t look back and just ran. The back of the pastor’s head was hit. However, if his faithful servant didn’t warn him then he would have died. The Pastor had the strength of a fifth tier monster and he had a human life-saving skill to save one or two people… But he then lost consciousness as something that looked like a piece of scrap garbage came flying into him.
His faithful servant then looked and got angry seeing that what hit him was an arrow. He then started to quickly run towards the pastor. He then saw something small and shiny where the pastor was laying and went to pick it up.
-Aren’t you going to escape…
Jaehwang looked around in anger. It wasn’t what he expected. He didn’t know that he had been drawing some energy from two other people that managed to hide themselves. He managed to pick off one but the other one was capable enough to escape.
-Huh… My head hurts.
Jaehwang then said with a hollow smile.
Meeting A Friend In A Strange Place, The end.
