Chapter 118: Trapped 2

Suddenly they heard a big crash come out of nowhere.

The leader then got up instantly and alerted everyone to escape.

“We’re under attack! Take cover!”

Everyone then rushed around finding somewhere or something to hide and take cover. They didn’t have enough energy to use their magic at the time. Only a few seconds they heard the scream of someone who was shot by something and instantly died. They saw arrows coming from afar and up above.

“There arrows…”

Sasaki said as she watch one fly by.

When they saw an arrow, they knew exactly who it was.

“Leader!”

One of the team members said as everyone was panicking and didn’t know what to do but Sasaki was stuck in thought.

‘How are we going to get out of this’

Someone had already gotten shot in the head and all of them were too busy running around and hiding to try to defend themselves.

‘It’s him.’

Looks like Jaehwang was able to successfully track them down.

“Number 6, 7 and 8! Keep an eye on him! 41! Load up the weapons!”

“Yes, leader!”

They said in reply to Sasaki’s orders. A team member watch closely at the arrows as he tried to see where they were coming from.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Most of the members were running away.

Number 41 went to the member that had already been shot in the head and grabbed the arrow stuck in him. She used a skill to examine it.

[Memory tracing]

A blue light started to appear from her hand and her eyes turned entirely white.

“They’re coming from… North… Location… Location…”

She kept saying “location”. Her eyes soon went back to normal.

“They’re coming from the North direction! Four kilometers away! There’s only one person!”

“Good job!”

Swoosh.. Pong!

Another arrow flew by hitting another person right in the head.

“They’re coming from the North!”

Everyone then began moving towards North to capture the person who was shooting the arrows.

“It’s the enemy! Kill him!”

Yes, leader!”

All of them got their weapons and quietly ran to the center of the mountains.

[Hideout]

Sasaki’s magic surrounded the entire team and all of their eyes started to turn blue.

She was giving all of the troops energy to fight against the enemy.

[Bravery increase! Silent deer-like footsteps! Destroy the enemy!]

One by one the new strength grew into them increasing their energy. Their bravery increased and they gained the ability to sneak slowly across the mountains as quiet as a deer.

For the last step she got the paper with the blood all over it and it started to glow.

Pong pong!

Another arrow flew out of nowhere and shot yet another member in the head. However, this time it just bounced right off leaving the member uneffected, unlike before. It was the result of the magic.

“He made a big mistake.”

Sasaki said with a smile on her face.

If he was like any ordinary hunter then he wouldn’t be able to attack any distance outside of 4 kilometers.

They’ve lost three team members so far but they were now prepared. Besides, there was only one enemy so he was outnumbered. If he was only four kilometers away then they could get to him within two minutes of quickly going up the mountain.

To kill a level 7 monster hunter they would have be very careful and precise with everything they did and every step they took.

“We’re going to destroy him.”

Another arrow flew near them but those were no longer a threat to them anymore. With their magic protection everyone were sure to be unharmed.

They went on their way and began walking the four kilometer distance.

But, they couldn’t tell exactly where the enemy was.

He couldn’t have been staying in the same place the entire time. They looked everywhere but couldn’t find him.

“Split up and find him…!”

Sasaki shouted.

All of the team members then scattered to find where he was.

Swoosh! Pong!

Another arrow flew right by them and into a tree causing a big hole to appear into it.

“Check over there!”

Sasaki shouted a bit anxiously.

“West… South… About three kilometers away.”

“This is hard. He seems to be moving fast.”

After arriving at their destination of three kilometers.

They were getting close to finding him but they were running out of time.

Swoosh! Pong!

Another arrow shot right into one of them but it went right through them as if they were a ghost.

The arrows were strong but the magic was stronger.

“We all need to attack him separately but we have to move faster…”

The endurance of the spell was wearing off.

“Okay.”

The team members responded.

“Let’s hurry and destroy him so we can be on our way.”

“Yes, leader!”

Pong! Pong! Pong!

Everyone instantly began running trying to find a place to hide.

The arrows then stopped for a moment. But of course, they weren’t done for good. Hiding in the mountain during the night was the best as it was harder to see in the dark.

“Be sure to erase any tracks!”

Sasaki warned. Ten minutes had gone by and they were still continuously trying to escape.

“Leader! We’re running out of time…”

“Darn it… Alright.”

She replied and took a deep breath trying to calm down.

They were running out of time to keep hiding around.

She began to think how could they lurer the enemy in faster.

“Why don’t we have any kind of traps?!”

There were currently only 40 team members left in there group…

‘We don’t have enough people to trap him ourselves.’

He was quickly getting closer.

They were still running around trying to find him but he was moving quiet fast so they weren’t able to keep up with his exact location.

“I think I know what to do.”

Sasaki said.

Her plan was to use one of them as a decoy to lure him close where they can find him.

“Let’s begin!”

“Yes, leader!”

They all looked everywhere with tired eyes. They were looking for a place where the enemy could have escaped.

But… The spirit was watching them from afar.

-We should split up.

-They’re doing quite a good job so far. What should we do?

Jaehwang asked as he watched the assassination team. At the time he was just observing and no longer attacking.

-Let’s keep following the plan. Did you notice the magic they were using?

Jaehwang asked. He was actually purposely dragging on the time. He couldn’t find their tracks in Kyoto due to the magic so he was wondering what kind of magic it was exactly.

-It’s a very powerful type of magic. She’s clearly an expert at it.

-Interesting.

Jaehwang said in reply to the spirit as he continued to watch them.

-Well, shall we start the hunt?

He said as he quickly got back up and back into action.

[Tiger Hunter]

He used his top rank Tiger Hunter hiding skill to be able to get close without them noticing.

But of course even with that skill it would still be a bit difficult.

“Phew…”

Jaehwang couldn’t just carelessly use his tiger hunting sense. Usually he would only use it when it was absolutely necessary.

“I can’t spare one person.”

The enemy then instantly said.

Trapped 2, The end.
