"Whew..."
He was exhausted. The impact of the situation on the church was huge. His troops were all completely gone because of one person. Joonghwi was the one who provoked the queen but now it wasn't just him who caused everything.
"Him... he's the enemy..."
He was buried in sadness. He rushed his steps and followed the level six hunter who were submerged in his own madness as he took the pastor by his limbs and carried him along.
"This is too much..."
He was exhausted but his energy soon came back thereafter. He stopped walking. He actually wasn't just trying to just avoid that level six hunter. He was now appearing and disappearing like a third tier wild swam pig. He wasn't scared of a an attack from a third tier monster but a wild swamp pig proved to be quite dangerous. Even those who hunt wild pigs at the swamp with experience has to escape immediately after making a wrong move.
Luckily, there was an easy way to get away from them without leaving any tracks behind.
"Now's a little..."
Swoosh... Pong...
He rinsed his mouth when he took a drink from his water bottle, a strange sound then buzzed in his ear.
"Huh? What's that?..."
He was frightened. He placed his hands on his head and felt something sharp cutting his forehead. There was something there but he didn't know what it was. He then looked at it just to see a wild swamp pig.
"The hunt is over."
There was an arrow in his head and it made them collapse into the ground.
"Hmm... They should be careful. Maybe if they tried to escape then they could have gotten away..."
The spirit as she looked down at the dead animal. They had made three mistakes. The first one was that they moved around in circles, the ghost was watching and observing their surroundings the whole time. The only problem was that Jaehwang couldn't attack with his energy just yet. The second one was that they decided to just stop in their place.
Jaehwang's arrows could fly far but if they tried to run away in the first place, they would have a decent chance at surviving. His control at the moment was a little off so it would be hard for him to aim at moving targets. But the animals just stood in their places and in that moment, they won't know it until they die.
And the third reason was that they didn't know Jaehwang's persistence. Jaehwang had a hunting sense and was quite obsessed with nature. He had used it one time until the hunt is over and he would keep chasing his prey until he was satisfied. Even in his time in the Alousu, he would use his senses even though it was dangerous to make sure that he would be able to relax and sleep as soon as he's finished.
-It came fast.
-Yeah
Jaehwang answered to the spirit as both of them watched the animal die. He needed the spirit's powerful energy especially in that moment. He was using up too much energy at a time by shooting long distance shots. The spirit suddenly flew up into the air and landed close to the animal. She then saw something shiny and tilted her head before she walked up to it.
It was a silver tiara that had a small diamond in the middle but there was some strange energy coming out of it. The spirit looked at the tiara's energy for a moment and then smiled.
"It's so pretty."
The spirit and after a little while longer, she picked it up and flew into the air.
-What is that?
Jaehwang asked since he could also see it because their shared sight..
-I can feel great energy from it... Maybe it will make me stronger faster.
"Brrr... Isn't it really cold here?"
SeonGyeon said with a frightened face.
"Whew..."
MinGyeon who seemed calm got her panic disorder back as she shivered in fear. There were torn pieces of flesh all over the place. There were dead bodies everywhere and there would be blood everytime they take a step.
"Keep it down."
Joonghwi whispered as he took the lead. Everyone then followed his command.
"I would usually think it wasn't those guys but..."
Joonghwi got a thought stuck in his head. There were dead bodies everywhere and after all that he experienced, he was able to judge the situation.
"They were stuck to the tree and then destroyed by the valley creatures."
Joonghwi complained and everyone still remained silent. If they were already stuck to the tree before than that means someone was there before them..
"How many had died?"
Joonghwi who took charge of this mission liked everyone to keep quiet to ensure their success but he thought that they all screamed because of Jaehwang. There wasn't supposed to be any chaos at that time, he was supposed to be just hunting. That was a cruel. He was clearing those who were responsible for the first killings but he wasn't supposed to do anything else after that.
"Is he a psychopath?"
If he did kill them and remained perfectly sane, then that would be a problem. He asked himself if he would think of him as an enemy if they had ran into him, they had good luck as only two of them had died so far.
He knew that if Jaehwang treated the Bileons as if they were an animals to hunt, then he would have established an entire wipeout.
"Everyone, pack your equipment. If we're not lucky then this terrible sight could stay on our record for ever."
Joonghwi said and everyone started to look very anxious. Everyone already knew that Jaehwang's skills were not normal, he was way ahead. The sight they were seeing right before their eyes was a great example of that. He could shoot up to four kilometers with one sack of arrows. You would have to run away as soon as possible to escape him. They were more scared of fighting with someone like that than fighting with the Church's Bileons.
Joonghwi was still clueless about what was going on there. He thought of Jaehwang's descent and remembered something about 'Carrying out a divine punishment' when he became a Gagseog. Jaehwang's passion was originally disgraced and his senses were possibly paralyzed. He asked what could it mean.
He was heartless.
"There."
Joonghwi sensed Jaehwang and saw him sitting behind the giant tree. Joonghwi then walked up to Jaehwang and saw someone sitting next to him. He asked himself who it was. He had a big frame and were very tall. There was a injury in the his chest but he wasn't dead.
"HyeJin?"
Joonghwi called HyeJin before he went closer to him.
"Yes?"
"Who is that?..."
"Huh?"
HyeJin then looked at Jaehwang's direction to see what he was talking about. One of HyeJin's skills was distinguishing an enemy. Joonghwi thought that maybe Jaehwang was keeping him hostage.
"He's fine."
"Good..."
Everyone was tensed up but they were finally able to let out a sigh of relief. Joonghwi walked to them first. Jaehwang then turned his head to see Joonghwi.
"Oh..."
Jaehwang seemed to notice what Joonghwi was there for so he shook his head. At first it was just a slight nod but then it became more assuring.
'Darn it... '
Joonghwi seemed to be surprised by Jaehwang's response before he took a look at his feet. It was the worst thing that he could have never imagined. He had now started a slaughter. He could have had a panic attack and although they were still lucky, time was running out.
"Step back everyone..."
Joonghwi shouted and Jaehwang then put his hand on his shoulder.
"Leader.."
"No!"
Joonghwi then realized that so he blamed himself for the big mistake that he had done. He was prepared. He then moved his hand off his shoulder but before Joonghwi could do or say anything else, Jaehwang spoke.
"It was because of your nice skill."
"Huh"
He said and Joonghwi looked slightly confused.
"What are you talking about?"
"Your skill. You call it the imperturbable mind... You blocked the impact of it, right?"
"Uhh..."
Joonghwi's legs then started to feel a little weak. He knew about it. It was a special ranked skill.
Joonghwi then became relaxed after he saw HyeJing letting him know that it was complete thorough hand signals.
Jaehwang saw it so he put up a bitter smile. This kind of situation was already expected. The spirit warned him about as well so they would be in big trouble if they lied. He then explained how the skill worked.
Jaehwang could possibly revise it with the help of the spirit.
"Well... I'm tired. Let's all take a rest. And, who is this?"
Joonghwi said while tapping Dongchul's feet. Jaehwang then smiled and replied.
"He's my friend. I haven't seen him in a long time.
The incident of what happened to the church had caused a huge sensation on the outside world.
The Samjeon nation was just like a puppet state with the number of Bileons causing terror to those around them. They had political influences and conspired laws that were made to cover compelling their compelling incidents.
With that, the conspired political circles of Korea tried to intentionally raise the incident so the 8th platoon could be claimed as they could try to heroize them.
Luckily, the platoon were affiliated to the U. S. Forces in Justin point and in America, they announced all of their wrong information to take care of their safety and human rights. The management associated with the Korean side ignored them.
So the platoon tried to use everything and the politicians as well as the media went to the location to get a better look at the incident.
A man and a lady were sitting in a secret room in a coffee shop in Seoul.
There was a guy with short hair who looked to be in his early 30s. He looked young but he had a anxious expression on his face and there was a lady sitting on the opposite side of him who looked like a career woman on her 40's who wore some heavy makeup.
The lady began to speak first.
"Mr. Kim SuHwi, we appreciate your decision."
The guy's face then seemed to light up. He started to look a little nervous seeing the lady's quite unsatisfied look on her face.
"Shall I first show you the report?"
"Uhh... I'm a soldier so I should be very thorough."
She laughed before she took a silver colored plastic card out of her pocket and placed it in the center of the table.
"Journalist Park Ahlam..."
It was a small deal but it would surely be recognized in the media's women's community.
He took the card and checked the information at and the back of it. He then breathed out and handed it back to the lady.
"It's a deal."
"Thank you. Well, shall we begin the interview? And just so you know, everything i will tell you today will be about society's health and fitness..."
"Is that all?"
"Huh?"
"You were going to bring me here without knowing what you wanted to say?"
The guy said gritting his teeth. He actually never met a journalist before so he thought that it was a waste of time. That was because he was an intelligent officer in Justin point and meeting a journalist like this meant that he would not be able to wear any uniform.
But he couldn't come out today. About two months ago at a nightclub he was having a great time and the next day a lady accused him of assault that ruined his life.
Luckily the women's accusation was dropped and she just demanded $100, 000 dollars so he decided to just bite the bullet and pay her the money. But just yesterday, the journalist mentioned that incident and requested to meet him. He wondered if she could threaten him if they didn't meet.
"So, why did you shamelessly commit that crime?"
Her eyes were the shape of a crescent moon and he eyebrows were furrowed.
"Listen here! Do you even know for sure if it was me who committed that crime while being drunk?! I woke up the next morning and... Ugh... Do you want to know how I found out about it all?"
The man asked her. He clearly gave her the money and kept quiet about the situation even though he wasn't sure if he's even guilty. He asked himself why did that journalist want to know about that incident?
Meeting A Friend In A Strange Place 2, The end.
