Jaehwang wondered how they could sense his hiding skill.
But, it was known that it was a skill with a few weak points. He had to move carefully and quiet when using it.
However, it still came in handy a lot. Every skill had its weak points.
He continued to launch arrows as they floated above the ground.
Soon he noticed that he had been using the same arrows for every attack.
-It seems that we can't capture them.
Jaehwang realized as he looked down on the Oaks. There were still a lot of them to hunt.
The answer was clear.
Everything wasn't because of Baekren, it was because of the Oaks. Baekren used the Oaks as protection so they were his main problem. They were very dangerous creatures so Jaehwang didn't have time to any mistakes. He had to think about things very thoroughly if he wanted to defeat them.
-Looks like they aren't using anymore spells. There are many choices for us to choose one if we're gonna use one.
-Okay. Is there some that will handle everything that we need?
They discussed their plan and what they needed to do.
-Everything sounds good but there's no way we can do that for sure. Instead we should fix all of the weak points. There seems to be a lot of them.
-Okay.
The spirit said in reply to jaehwang's suggestion. After lowering their least favorite options they were able to see common ground.
'Everything will be fine if we can't see any weak points. '
They began to start with their plan while still floating above the ground with a full view of everything.
With all the experience they've had with spells before everything should go smooth.
'Let's begin. '
He gathered all of his strength and got started. First he looked around at all of the Oaks. They were very strong as a group. The spell would have to be very impactful to reach and destroy all of them.
All they had to do was make one fatal shot.
Jaehwang then stood completely still.
Luckily, the Oaks effects had worn off a lot so they had nothing to worry about.
-How many arrows do you have left?
-About 1, 000.
-Great.
The spirit replied.
-Let's try one.
-Okay.
[Magic Arrow]
The spirit prepared the arrow and Jaehwang began to launch it.
It was time to show them what he could really do. He was ready to use the new attack.
'Strong Arrow Shower!'
Swooshh! Swooshh! Swooshh!!
Jaehwang's hand moved faster and faster as he launched more and more arrows.
He was just as fast as before but since this was a new attack it was still much stronger. There were about 20 arrows flying at once. Of course it took lots of energy but it was worth it.
It was a very severe attack.
Jaehwang then began to launch a few different arrows. He aimed the all down towards the ground.
'Silent Arrow!'
It was an arrow that wouldn't make any noise when it lands or exploded like a sneak attack.
'Unique Arrow, Exploding Strong Arrow!'
Whoosh!
Jaewhang watched them as flew quickly towards the ground.
He watched as they exploded taking out dozens of Oaks at a time.
The arrows were surrounded in bright energy light as they fell from the sky like a heavy rainstorm.
Although they tried their best, there was no point in even trying to block them. They were more unavoidable than last time due to their thorough analysis with his hunter thinking skills.
As the attack lasted they began to feel satisfied with their work.
The first attack might have not gone so well but the second attack was perfect.
It seemed as if something was trying to block out their attacks but thanks to the help of the spirit's magic that wasn't possible.
Kwang Kwang Kwang Kwang Kwang!!!!
Baekren did her best to find a safe place as everything began to explode.
Jaehwang knew that the attack would surely be able to reach all of them there.
Then...
"Uh?"
Jaehwang suddenly started to feel doubtful.
He could hear all the chaos by the explosions but then he heard something that sounded a lot like a giant vacuum.
Swoooooo
In that moment something suddenly came rising upwards.
Eventually they were able to see what it was exactly.
"Ahughh!"
It let out a loud roar. The Oaks were scattered across the ground trying to escape. It was a gigantic monster with red skin. It stood almost 20 meters tall and clearly looked very strong. The monster looked around with its big eyes. It also had fur like a bear and giant sharp teeth.
-That's called a demon monster. Should we use a spell?
-A demon monster?
-Yes, a demon monster. That means you should be really careful.
The spirit replied and Jaehwang stopped his attacks.
-Is it strong?
He asked in an anxious tone.
-Of course. They're one of the most dangerous monsters.
-I see.
-They're very strong but the more they kill the stronger they can get. Wearing armor is very important when you are fighting one of them. That's about all you should need to know.
-This isn't going to be easy...
Jaehwang said.
Although he's hunted lots of monsters over the years he had never encountered anything like that before. It was more important that he knew how to defend himself from it then learning the best way to attack it. Now that the demon monster had showed up neither Baekren or Jaehwang were thinking about their fight together.
Baekren lifted her head and looked over towards Jaehwang who seemed to be distracted.
"Next time instead of taking soldiers let's just fight one-on-one, you and me..."
Baekren declared and then left the scene and the monster that was there disappeared as well.
Poof...
The Oak soldiers and Halcan disappeared as well.
However, there was something that Baekren seemed to have left behind.
***
Jaehwang looked at the red blood on a silver fragment.
It was Baekren's blood that was on the silver fragment.
-Do you have a minute...
The spirit said.
-What is it?
Jaehwang replied. The spirit then appeared next to him in human form. She looked at the blood for a second and then looked away.
"Of course..."
"What?"
"Your looking at that person's blood. And..."
"And?.."
"The blood of the person who put a spell on you.."
The spirit stopped speaking for a minute and took a deep breath.
"She seems a little old. Maybe 50 years at the least... It's strange. She could be a time stopper."
"A time stopper? What is that?"
"A type of spell that can be used to stop aging at a certain point. She's almost one hundred years old and doesn't look old at all..."
"Really? An internal youth spell?"
"No. Just a change in faint so she doesn't die or get old. But, when she does die she could maintain herself. She has to be older than 50, though."
The spirit explained. Jaehwang then fell into thought thinking about it. If what the spirit said was true then that must have been the reason why he could barely harm her during the fight.
"It's a tough situation."

Two days later Jaehwand went back to the hunter headquarters in the Alousu. After reporting what happened to the others he was given a vacation to relax after all of his hard work. Although that's what he was supposed to do, he decided to spend his time tracking down Baekren instead.
At first he thought that tracking her down would be easy. He was using his new tracking skill but it still wasn't so easy.
Suddenly... Something big happened.
His tracking skill was able to track something and it was only a few meters away. But, Jaehwang ignored it thinking it was just a mix up because he hadn't gotten a chance to train with it yet.
[Insignificant training, cannot track. Try looking for something within 10km]
-I'm just stupid.
-Yes, I agree with that.
He then showed up at the suggested location. Although Jaehwang was sure nothing was around there, he had a weapon prepared.
-Let's go eat.
-Okay.
Maybe they could have missed a clue of where to look to track her down.
They made it to the restaurant and ordered their food.
The second they opened the door and walked into the crowded restaurant a random person got up out of his seat and politely offered it to Jaehwang. Everyone recognized him as the famous hunter.
Jaehwang greeted him in return and politely took the seat offering.
Unknown Hunter, The end.
