Chapter 66: Hunting Wild Dogs 2

Tatak…

Jaehwang jumped off of a tree branch and floated in midair.

‘Tiger hunter’

Swoosh…

He disappeared into the darkness and then appeared on the branch again.

He could recognize the enemy faces through the spirit. He heard loud noises and saw one of them standing and that’s how he found their hiding place. He quickly flew through the air as he pulled his bowstring.

He was able to see behind him and after pinning one of his arms to the tree, he launched three more arrows to keep his limbs in place. He saw his colleague as well so he turned around to shoot five more arrows to stop him from moving.

“Help us! Help us!”

They yelled on top of their lungs. The night got darker. Jaehwang then flew into the sky once more.

-Others will soon show up.

-Good.

Jaehwang replied to the spirit as his feet landed on the ground.

-They’re going to come and see what happened.

The spirit warned. He landed on the ground and his ‘Tiger Hunter’ skill then went away. He wasn’t clueless, he knew what could happen. But even so, he didn’t plan on leaving just yet.

-They’re coming soon, it’s getting dangerous.

The spirit said but Jaehwang just smiled at the idea of it happening. They were in the woods in the middle of the night which was perfect for hunting wild dogs. He wasn’t worried, this place was his hunting grounds after all.

-Thanks for your help.

The arrow was fast and sturdy.

“That’s the enemy!”

“Stop hiding and show yourself! They have a detecting skill. Help them first and then catch the enemy. They’re on the move!”

“They’re on the move. 2 O’ clock 400 meters! 350 meters!”

“Good! I’ll catch them. 350 meters! 200 meters! I’ll catch up soon.”

They knew Jaehwang’s location and they were quickly catching up to him. They knew they were coming but they just stood there without a hurry.

“Someone, Someone’s shooting some arrows!”

Yelled the Bileon while holding up his shield. He was shooting without a sound so they didn’t know what the weapon was. They were confident that they could block it but the situation was harder than they thought. Protecting themselves from a gun was easier than protecting themselves from an arrow which is faster than a bullet.

Swooshhh… Panggg!

It barely reached the tree and they took a deep breath in relief. All of their enemies already knew their location so they started shooting arrows at random straight ahead. The arrow shots didn’t make any different noises compared to other weapons. It piercing through the dark with an incredible speed is what scared them.

Three more Bileons found themselves stuck on a tree. They weren’t dead but they were screaming in terror. He had the powerful arrows of a Dealer, a Tanker, and a Healer.

The most powerful one was the Tanker arrow but it flew in a very strange way and didn’t pin them to the tree so well.

-It’s an emergency! We need help! Team 6! Bring team 6! We’re being taken out!

-Sa..Save us, please!

The pastor’s hands shook in fear from what he had heard in the radio before the feed was cut off. He could hear the echoes of their screams from where they were.

“A level 6 dealer… Haha… Ridiculous. A level six monster hunter? Here?”

He looked through his memory inventory for a special level 6 hunter.

He already gave up on finding the enemy on surveillance as his men get themselves eaten by their own fears.

“Open the action cam.”

“This is another person who should suffer the church’s punishment. He’s only making things harder…”

He gathered both of his hands together and prayed for his punishment before he picked up his radio. He was already imagining the scenario of the Cheongun angels powerful force. Even if they were in the Church, a level six hunter could still mean a great disaster.

“Prepare us, angels.”

“What!”

Someone fell down. He then waited next to them and then bowed at two deaconesses before he left.

“A level six hunter… haha… But, we’re still very strong.”

He gritted his teeth and turned around, a hundred of experienced soldiers then lined up behind him.

“The situation is now unavoidable.”

He was staring at 300 soldiers who were standing right in front of him. There were believers in the shrine so he joined a few of them making it an army which was 300 strong. All of them were devotees who were out to deliver punishment to a level six hunter at their midst.

“Cheongun army force… Guard the church… Let’s stab that evil demon.”

“For the church’s honor…!”

“Let’s get the life offering!”

“Please… save us…”

They struggled to breath and speak.

Jaehwang lightly through the forest and away from those trees. He could run, but he couldn’t hide. They just continued on deeper into the forest, however, wasn’t really concern about them coming after him. At this point, all of them wanted to get away from him.

He started to get further out of sight and the people stuck to the tree soon lost sight of him.

“Save us…”

“Please…”

The person who was nailed onto the tree yelled as he saw Jaehwang. His eyes had opened wide as he saw a ghost. He wanted to complete his mission and see to it that he would recieve their church’s punishment.

“…Save me…”

He begged with all of his might. He felt like he was dying little by little. It was later in the cold of the night where he had fallen into shock.

Jaehwang stopped himself and stared at him without a shred of emotion.

“If you beg then I’ll save one out of all of you, but if you can’t beat me in time then yeah, I guess you already know what would happen.”

“Huh?…”

They didn’t know what to say to Jaehwang’s offering.

They just looked at him with tears in their eyes. They were begging for him to save them…One of them said they had a kid at home waiting… he said that he needed to be saved… he had never looked at them with a merciful heart before.

But then he thought that they could be lying, they were much more vicious, cruel and brutal than they looked. They enjoyed torturing and burning other people.

He wondered that maybe some of them weren’t as bad as they seem. He thought that maybe all, some or at least one of them could have been forced to enter into the church. They weren’t just criminals, some of them were forced to join after seeing their colleagues getting skinned alive. They had no choice.

“Me too… Me too… Only catch them. I want to come back. I want to… see my mom…”

He said still struggling in pain. Jaehwang then started moving once again.
