He took the arrow in his hand and turned on his save system to analyze his item. Despite its seemingly broad capabilities, save mode couldn't analyze all types of weapons.
It was made possible because of the affiliation skill that other hunters named 'the Ahietiem' possessed. This was something that hunters needed when they were out on a raid.
There were more skills that were ranked higher than the Ahietiem but the skill itself was not made for Gagseogs, it was a past artifact.
Gun powered weapons weren't the ones that were usually used. In the beginning, they would almost always use those kinds when fighting monsters. But that time has passed and now the corpse of monsters could be used as materials to make a brand new set of equipment. It boasts its great effectiveness and the Ahietems were the first ones to use them.
Of course the other hunters like the 'Manas' had started to use their weapons as a defense system for the neutralization and the others followed along to use their weapons as well.
-My mom only gave me $800 dollars and that's all...
Hunter equipment was expensive. The hunter equipment Jaehwang had was the cover suit that his father bought and that was on a special sale. Jaehwang laughed thinking about how angry his mom was when she saw the receipt and got so mad at his father. Reminiscing those memories, he tightly grabs onto the cover suit handle.

"I can feel that were almost there... the battlefront is just 300 meters away!"
"Already? In your battle positions everyone..."
"Yes, leader."
They followed her command and assembled into their positions. They were already close to the battlefront with the drone taking the lead. It shot through them and quickly flying above their heads as they got closer.
Swoosh...
It glided through the wind and along with that, a giant alligator head appeared...
Pakwag!!!
The leader of the group pulled back her spear and threw it up ahead.
"The raid starts now!"
The handsome hunter guy goes in aiming to attack from all over from the front as the tattooed girl aimed for the back leg.
"It has a big jaw."
Skinhead used both of his hands and started to generate a blue light.
PaKang!
"Kyaaa..."
He spun around and shot for the monster's head making it scream for the first time.
"Magic!"
"Eisu! Jaera! Whum!"
Jjeojeojeok!
Skinhead then shot another blue light towards the monster's front leg and it started to freeze.
"Great job! Keep going!"
The raid was going smoothly. He froze the leg and that helped distract it. They quickly went for the back of the leg while it was distracted and the handsome hunter stabbed it with his dagger. The monster then fell and they didn't miss the chance to follow up with another attack of arrows. They shot them into its chest and it eventually died with a scream.
Keehk!
-That was fun.
-Fun?
The team leader asked to Jaehwang.
-It reminds me of when I used to hunt monsters way back in the past. It's a really long story.
-You used to do this?
-Yeah. Doing things like this and all that has been going on these days reminds me of those times. The world has lots of energy when you make a choice. Life wasn't like that before. The energy that was the most greedy thing, is a human.
-I see.
They continued to talk as the new raid was now finished. They realized how late it was after fighting the monster and the leader still had not put down her spear. The skillful rotation makes for a big disturbance and lots of movement control. She soon put the remaining three away. Jaehwang then saw something strange.
-Doesn't something seem strange?
-Does it?
-Over there, it looks like a light.
Everyone fell silent and started to look around to analyze their surroundings.
-It could be nothing. If something explodes then we would see it.
She analyzed Jaehwang's monster radar and checked to see if something was going on. There were 3 radiation activities 10 meters away... That was where two of their clan members were.
They thought about if they should give them a warning. She was hesitant for a second because one of them was up ahead and the squad leader was there so there was a chance that maybe she already knew. but she couldn't take that risk. The leader then yelled loudly from up ahead.
"Something will explode soon. From now on, stay on the biggest path!"
"Yes, leader!"
The guy kept himself close to their leader so that he wouldn't fall while holding the cylinder filled with silver light. He was planning to throw it to a monster if one appeared. After throwing it then it will then change into a green liquid before exploding.
"You have a poison!"
"That's great."
All had to do was just throw the cylinder and various liquids would come melting out. Now that he had used it, the neurotoxin came out and instantly left a scar. They called it a capsule, it was one of the things that hunters would need when hunting.
The explosion was bearable for everyone except the leader since everyone else was in a safe area. They ended their raid with a smooth finish but Jaehwang was concerned about the incident that just happened.
"Uh..."
Skinhead stepped back and suddenly felt that he was sinking into the ground. Jaehwang was worried seeing that he had stepped onto the sandcliff. But the bigger problem was that he was in the middle of casting another spell at the moment. That resulted in a misfire and no one was able to immediately come to his aid at the time.
Kwang! Jjeojeok!
The leader looked over in surprise at the unexpected incident. They froze for a second as someone signaled them. They wanted to rescue their teammate but they all knew that they couldn't miss their chance to take down the monster and beat it.
"Damn it...!"
Said the middle-aged lady who attacked the monster immediately as the team were taken aback. Skinhead saved them a little before he rolled off the cliff but they then suddenly noticed that their leader had disappeared too. The leader's defense wasn't able to stop the monster. The handsome hunter guy rushed in to try and save her with his tiny dagger but it had its limits.
"Darn..."
Hwig! Pheok!
The bite went through her armor but it wasn't too serious. She eventually gave up on fighting back but she already made the monster mad. The tattooed girl then ran towards the direction of the monster.
"Haya!"
She dashed and jumped into the air. She loaded her bows with arrows and shot them ahead of her. The attack was delivered with an intent to kill but it had backfired due to the wind condition. A cloud of dust then flew into her eyes.
"Ah!"
The once relaxing situation of the raid has now changed into a disaster. They all knew that this was a raid. It was common for someone to die or get hurt, carelessness would not be tolerated.
Pyupyupyut!
As soon as she recovered, she jumped once again and started to shoot two arrows from mid-air. It made its mark but it looked as if it did nothing to the monster. The monster then responded by opening its mouth and...
Pheoeoeok!
"Keueog..."
The monster turned its head because of the strong shot that landed an arrow into its eye. The monster had struggled to take the arrow but then another two shots flew into his head. It fell down with a loud shrike but instead of dying, it started to flee.
Papapag...
It tried to get the arrow out with its hand but it couldn't.
Swoosh... Poeg!
Another arrow flew into its head. The first arrow was the only one that did any damage, the second and third arrow didn't stick into the monster and just fell to the ground. It then rushed into the person who held the bow and killed her in one hit. There was also someone there who had a late change of heart and disappeared like a ghost.
"Keulueog... Keuag"
The monster attacked the second hunter and let out another angry roar.
Poeug...
Another arrow was thrown and it reached the monster. It was finally starting to work. Well, at least they tried to. It passed through its side and they heard a noise not long afterwards.
"Keoueog..."
They got a refreshing feeling as the attacks seem to have been affecting the monster as it howled in pain.
"You... Idiot... How dare you touch my armor."
After beating the monster, the guy was thrown to the ground.
"The hunter's special offer for its lowest interest rate is 1. 5 percent monthly for 24 months... I still have 24 months left to go on my armor...Ugh!"
He yelled about the upcoming repair cost. Before the monster could try to attack, he then ran through the air, attacked the monster and tied it up.
"Stop destroying our village and coming through the gate! Leave and disappear!"
Peog!peog!peog!
He started punching the monster with his bare hands.
Peoeok!
He finished it off with a powerful soccer kick... The monster's head was already half dented and it had stopped breathing.
He then jumped onto the monster's stomach to be sure. After that he was certain that the monster was completely dead. He took a deep breath and made an announcement to everyone through the headset.
-The raid... Is over.
-Got it. You've worked hard.
He finished talking to the supporting team and collapsed to the ground i exhaustion. He then looked around with a face full of grief at the squad and looked at the arrows that affected the monster.
'I don't know them but I feel bad. '
"..."
He checked to see where the arrows that saved them came from and the arrow's owner hasn't disappeared just yet. He tilted his head and after hearing a familiar voice from behind him. He turned to see what it was.
"Are you okay?"
"Oh.. You scared me."
The voice from behind him startled him as he turned his head to the face of his savior and was even more surprised.
"Huh? Who are you?"
Jaehwang stood there with his hat deeply pulled over his face and his compound protection in his hand.
Star Dust Clan 3, The end.
