Chapter 87: Occupied

[Experience point renewed.]

Name: Jeon Jaehwang Rank C 10/9 Level 800,000/800,850exp [Level Up]

-Did I just ranked up?

-Good work.

Jaehwang looked at his progress with relief. He finally took another step towards his goal. The time it takes for a hunter to level up could maybe leave a hunter in a defenseless state but, it has already been updated and they could now use it to level up freely.

-Thanks.

-You finally got to rank B huh?

-Yeah….

Now that he had leveled up, he increased from rank C to rank B.

This level up was different from usual. It now meant that he would have to gain much more experience to level up. He had a hard time finding things to fill his experience but he was only able to do so thanks to his time with the military and the platoon. His progress wouldn’t be that slow if he were to be compared with other hunters.

-Looks like you’ve gotten so much stronger.

-I don’t know.

From rank F to rank C, the spirit would tell him how strong he had gotten every time he leveled up.

-Okay, now I can fight GwanJae and win.

His match against Gwanjae was the first thing he could think of after leveling up. Jaehwang probably didn’t think about it but, he shouldn’t doubt GwanJae’s conscious state.

GwanJae…. He was the only ruler for the past 60 years. He would estimate that he was already fully leveled up. The usual types of hunters you could run into was level 5 or 6 but GwanJae was clearly much stronger than them.

He was leveled up completely. He had lots of experience hunting monsters, his attacks were strong and he was highly skilled overall. However, the hunters’ level couldn’t be exposed by their outside appearance, if so, then they would be risking their lives due to of all the danger it would cause.

Although they would openly talk with others about their levels. They would also fight against each other to test and boast about their strength but unfortunately, many hunters had died because of that and so they eventually stopped telling each other their ranks.

That also caused the standard of information sharing to be established through each countries. The system was also established so hunters could use more objects with their battle skills than just relying purely on their levels.

Now on with the story, Jaehwang took a deep breath and heard the voice of the spirit.

-You have gotten very strong.

-Huh? What do you mean?

-Maybe it’s because you defeated that Oak leader.

A string then started to form from his eye. It was quite long and there was a red string at the end of it. He saw a fancy red throne made of skeletons with a skull on top inside of it.

-As expected, the usual.

The Oak sitting in the chair wasn’t so big and strong. It was wearing black leather armor that was torn causing it to reveal his torso. His right arm was especially covered black…

-It’s the Oak King… do you think you can hunt him?

-I don’t know, maybe..? It looks like it won’t be easy. He’s really far away so I can’t really judge his abilities but he seems to be very strong.

He said to the spirit nervously. Trying to hunt the king would definitely be very dangerous, he had to be very cautious.

-How much healing energy do you have left?

-I’m almost running out.

-Really? Well then, this time, just shoot everything with one shot.

Jaehwang took a deep breath and began loading his arrows. He was about to go against the Oak King and he was preparing for his most powerful attack yet. If possible he wanted to study the final step of his archery training but that was still a little out of his range. He only completed three steps so far.

“Silence…”

[Silent hunter skill activated.]

He broke through the speed of sound which seemed to be unreachable to him before. He could now hear the sound of the arrow flying ripping through the air with the help of his silent hunter skill.

“The unique arrow and the exploding arrow…”

Swoosh… Pang pang pang…

A whirlwind of energy started to generate inside of Jaehwang. The whirlwind of energy came out of him and bundled into the arrow that he launched.

With these skills and the spirit’s, all of their condensed strength turned and started flashing as it shone with a red light.

“Strong arrow!”

Swoosh….

It was soundless but it made a gigantic sonic boom as it flew by with a gust of wind.

-That was everything… Now we’ll just wait and see…

The spirit said with an exhausted tone, she had given it her all just like what he asked for.

“Phew…”

He couldn’t relax yet. He could still feel the impact inside of him from all of the shots he had made. Launching everything at once took a lot more than he had thought. He kneeled to his knees due to the pain as he couldn’t bear to stand on his feet anymore.

And then, he saw an arrow flying towards his eyes.

“Huh?”

The king sat on his throne as he stared at Justin point. The arrows that Jaehwang had launched were flying at him at full speed.

“Go!”

The other strong Oaks rushed to his side to protect him from the attack. They were holding giant battle axes and were prepared to risk their lives to protect him but, the king then said something unexpected.

“Move.”

Pang!Teuk!!! Pang pang pang!

The oaks immediately moved out of the way. They saw the arrows coming closer and closer so they took out their weapons just in case.

“This will be fun.”

The arrow flew over his head but his facial expression was unchanged.

He caught the flying arrows with his hand that was covered in leather armor and he absorbed all the energy that was put in it.

Pang! Jiijiiji…

“This is a bit trickier than I thought.” He sat still in his place and looked at the arrow that he had just caught. “It’s small…”

The arrow was extremely small. It wasn’t as big as arrows usually were but it was clearly very strong.

“This human might even give me a challenge.” He said and the Oaks around him raised their weapons ready to protect him at all costs.

The king didn’t seem to be angry at all. He was a little disappointed but he knew that it could guarantee their victory if they destroyed the person who shot that arrow.

“We have to prepare…”

Kwang kwang kwang!

“Looks like it has begun.”

The arrows flew down with sharp and glowing red tips.

“Ugh! This… What is this!” The shot shook the floor and caused DalJeon to fall over.

He could see that Justin point was now filled with smoke and flames, it was like he could sense all the danger that it gives.

“What about over there?” DalJeon shouted as the flames grew higher.

There was an explosion on the other side of Justin point.

They saw six generators over in the same area. There were a few generators in the basement where some of their energies were stored but those spares were now engulfed in flames.

The fire was being put out by highly skilled firefighters but it soon grew bigger. All of the weapons being operated in Justin point were stopped and unfortunately, that wasn’t the only problem.

-Hey! What is this guy doing?!

• The Samjeon church followers are here! This is an emergency!

-Those Bileons!

There was nowhere left to run, the church of Bileons were starting to get brutally attacked. Something unbelievable then happened.

“W-what are we going to do?…”

Justin point was suffering. Although many hunters went and left frequently, Justin point had supercomputers and had many guards to examine the CCTV.

An unlucky thought came to DalJeon’s mind. He then lifted his head and looked at the sight of all the Oaks before them. While looking in that direction, he saw 20 military buses coming their way. They were mowing everything in their path and they had no signs of slowing down. They were driving in a neat line but they had quite a distance away from each other.

The others fixed the emergency generators and restored the base’s firepower in just a span of five minutes while the military buses continued to move.

“It’s dangerous here…” DalJeon ran to the side to take cover.

He had a hunch on what was going to happen but he felt like he could have been wrong. He started running faster but then, he saw Jaehwang.

“Over there!”

Jaehwang was standing on one knee, he kept his focus but he didn’t see anything until he heard him shouting, “Quick, look out!”

Daljeon ran over to Jaehwang and pulled him out of the way. That wasn’t the first time he had to save him.

The ground was shaking.

Jaehwang had gotten attacked. It was like his skin was in flames. He felt extremely weak.

“Ahhh!” DalJeon screamed when he saw a fragment of the arrow stuck in his arm.

He wanted to die at that moment. He had no motivation left in him and he was starting to tear up. Justin point turned out to be a disaster. Another explosion shook the ground and this time, it felt close. He thought that the would die and the only way for him to feel relieved was by sticking with Jaehwang.

He started to calm down. He felt protected knowing that he was a very skilled hunter.

Pang pang pang….

“Argh!” Jaehwang screamed in pain as he stepped back.

-Take him somewhere safe and be careful!

DalJeon heard spirit talk as he looked down at Jaehwang. Jaehwang was in a much more severe condition than he was. He was surrounded by a cloud of black smoke and his consciousness seemed to be unstable at the moment. His head was slightly moving around as if he was about to faint.

-Let’s go!

DalJeon said to Jaehwang as they crawled down the stairs in an attempt to avoid being seen and attacked. DalJeon and Jaehwang were almost down all of the stairs when another huge explosion erupted over them.

Kwang kwang kwang!!!

There were Oaks flying everywhere due to the explosion.

“Is this the last area to search out?”

“Let’s check the military zone too!”

“We have to find it! We’ll search the entire place!”

They split and went to different directions following the sounds of sharp screams. With sharp knives in both hands, the Oaks continued to walk ahead and stabbed everyone that they meet.

Fortunately, the people who were stabbed weren’t dead and were just injured. Someone who was just watching then got up from their seat and disappeared.

All they could do was watch as the Oaks tore their place to pieces.

Tuek teuk…

They then heard footsteps coming their way. They looked to see what it was and they saw the Oaks. There were hundreds and thousands of them. They heard their screams coming from everywhere. There were lots of hunters in Justin point but they couldn’t be compared to the amount of the Oaks in front of them. They rampaged everything in their path as they marched together.

“Welcome….” A man holding a knife entered the scene together with a woman who had many strings of light coming out of her body.

She tended the injured along with the pile of dead oaks around her. The other oaks saw that sight as well as they slowly passed by.

“Nothing will be able to get through to this place,” She said with a smile.

Occupied, The end.
