-Congratulations.
-Thanks.
Jaehwang replied to the spirit with a puzzled expression before he opened the status window.

The first thing he noticed was how much his energy went up. It went up from 400 to 830 and his resurrection energy increased by 11. His energy increased three times more than last time.
It also meant that his resurrection energy would now take up to just ten minutes to refill. He could manage his skill just fine and nothing much would happen if he didn't pay too much attention to it. All he knew was that with just one use, his experience would increase.
"That's really something." She said in reference to Jaehwang's inherited skills.

Jaehwang then closed his eyes and tried to relax. He felt something strange from the energy since then. Somehow he felt weaker but it also made him feel free.
Jaehwang looked towards the direction of the barrier and saw the wave of Oaks.
The machine gun was still shooting, he then looked at his fellow soldiers and his face turned blank. He couldn't let any of them die.
-Spirit?
-Yes?
-We're going to do something great. Get ready.
-Like what? Wait... you're going to use the arrow you've had set aside all this time, aren't you?
-Exactly.
Jaehwang replied to the spirit's question. From then on, Jaehwang decided to think bigger as his skills were already so great.
-Sounds like a plan. I'll get ready. And also, if you're going to use it now, I won't be much of use for other things while we're preparing. Is that Okay?
-Okay. But can't you do more now that you have that tiara?
-Well, I guess you're right. I've been getting a lot of energy every day because of it.
Jaehwang had something planned that he had never used before. He never considered it because of its cost. If he used it just one time then the spirit would fall into a deep sleep forever. But that wasn't all, her strength, all of her magic and herself, would disappear. But now the time has come for him to put it to use.
He couldn't let the members of the 8th platoon die.
[Incantation]
Jujuju...
Jaehwang surrounded himself with the Red energy that came from his soul, it then went back and completely disappeared.
[Unknown energy increased all strength management by + 1. ]
[Unknown energy increased energy by + 1000. ]
[Unknown energy increased Resurrection energy rate by 30 percent. ]
"Ouch..." Jaehwang said.
He felt a sudden increase in energy. The incarnation took control of both his body and the spirit's. Through that, they were both able to share their strength and energy, the last time they did it was when they fought to survive in the Alousu.
If it wasn't for the both of them working together then things wouldn't have turned out the same. They were much stronger working together than alone.
He then picked up his bow and arrow with a hopeful expression.
-Ready? I'm going to need your help.
-Got it.
The spirit passed him a few strings and he then turned to the platoon members which were in the direction of the Oaks. The spirit was prepared to help so every time he would shoot an arrow, another would magically show up in place of it. He continued to adjust the string while the spirit kept him updated on their condition.
He set its position and focused.
Tuek...
He shot one arrow. It went through the head of the Oak he aimed for and then landed in the foot of the one behind it. Because of all that energy, the flying arrow looked as if it was a laser flying into its foot. The red laser-like trail appeared wherever he aimed.
"Great, " Jaehwang said with a smile as he started to increase his attack speed. It wasn't long before he reached the speed of light.
Pang pang pang pang!!!
The sound of him pulling string as he launched the arrow made a subtle snapping sound although it wasn't breaking. His right arm then started to move even faster.
Kwang kwang kwang!!! Pang pang pang!
He consumed his energy as much as he dished out his different arrows. The Oaks were flying all over the place due to explosions from some of it.
His skills were also increasing,
140
210
98
He could see that things were going well at that time. He was gaining a lot of experience as well.
"The gun is overheating!"
"It needs to cool down! Quickly! Turn the speed down a little!"
"On it!"
"Ugh, darn these Oaks!"
Lots of Oaks were dying but there were still a whole lot more to deal with. The machine guns had already been put to a halt. It was fine but if it continued to shoot like that for any longer, it would be left in terrible condition. They needed to let it rest so they had to use something else.
"Peji! Do we have any other guns?" Joonghwi yelled.
"I think so!" Peji replied.
"Here's one!" One of the platoon members shouted back.
The Oaks were still coming closer and they were running low on firepower. They were running out of time. They had to get explosives and perception censers.
Joonghwi then started to worry because of the machine gun situation but he quickly got a hold of himself and went to a different military bus next to them. The Oaks had gained some speed because they had to decrease their firepower.
"This is getting impossible!"
They underestimated the Oaks. They could have wiped them out if they stood in a single place but the problem was this wasn't like the ones they had hunted before. They all focused their firepower at their center but it seemed to just make them stronger.
"The range is 980 meters! We could pierce through their armor!"
He shouted, telling them the range of the laser.
One kilometer... It seemed like an amazing range but it seemed too good to be true. That's was like the top speed for a third tier hunter. It was slow compared to the Oaks' top speed but if they continued to move as they are, they would be much faster. He wouldn't be surprised if he heard the news to retreat because if they wouldn't, he's sure that they would get overrun by a wave of Oaks.
"500 meters! If we let them get closer then we'll lose everything and Justin point will be destroyed. So, focus on your responsibilities! Peji! Tell the control tower to change courses after 500 meters!" Joonghwi shouted.
"Yes, sir..."
Peji replied in a hesitant tone. Changing courses could lead to terrible assumptions causing prompt decisions, accidents and possibly, a felony. Therefore, he didn't think that it was a good idea. He wanted to listen to Joonghwi's orders but, he also didn't want to see the platoon members die.
"Hyejin! Update us every 50 meters!"
"Got it! 850 meters! 800 meters! 750 meters!" Hyejin continued to keep them updated.
They almost reached their destination. They tried to resist the urge to push the Oaks away but it was no use. Their colleagues were running them over and blood was everywhere. Just when all the platoon members were all thinking about retreating they heard Hyejin updates.
"600 meters!... Huh? 600 meters? 600 meters! What's going on with this thing? It's stopping."
Hyejin said, confused and wondering if she made a mistake in the range measurements.
"What is it?"
There weren't any other attacks that had been issued on Justin point but the Oaks had stopped as if they had met a seawall. Joonghwi looked through the binoculars to see what was going on. The Oaks limbs and heads were flying through the air due to explosions. The green sparkle in their eyes was frightening... However, there were a shower of arrows falling unto them. They fell onto their heads causing the Oaks to collapse and die.
"Arrows?!"
Hyejin said in a surprised voice as she looked over to Joonghwi. It looked like rain but it was all arrows. There were hundreds of arrows flying through the sky.
"Who could it be!"
The machine gun was still shooting at low power but it wasn't making much a difference when the arrows started to come in. Joonghwi then put on the binocular to see where the arrows were coming from. He found the source and it was their old co-leader, Jaehwang.
"Those stupid monsters..."
"What is he doing!"
DalJeon yelled in surprise as he watched him launch his arrows. Joonghwi was amazed as well, he thought that they prepared so much for that long distance attack.
"Idiots." He mumbled to himself without noticing.
But that's how he actually felt. He just quickly played it off even though someone could have heard him. He seemed like a daring beginner hunter.
"Huh?"
They all watched in awe. He started off shooting slowly and was soon shooting at the speed of light. It was something that they've never seen before.
"Wow..."
They were speechless. He had created a hell of falling arrows just for the Oaks.
An Evolution 2, The end.
