“Found him!!”
The watcher shouted as he pointed at his direction.
“He’s 300 meters above the tree!”
“He’s an immoral bastard!”
The guard looked where the watcher was pointing. He saw Jaehwang pulling the string as a flame formed at the top of his head and lit up the area around him.
“I see him!”
They could never escape him. They couldn’t hide and they knew that he would chase them down until they die but every one of them had their hopes on him getting imprisoned.
“Good! He looks like an unbeliever of the church! Everyone, attack! Get the Cheongun angel!”
They were scared but got into action after the watcher’s command.
Jaehwang continued to launch exploding arrows but the number of arrows was limited and the enemy troops had started to scatter. There were 300 hunters. The ones who were hurt were instantly getting treated. The remaining ones were filled with anger as they climbed up the tree to get closer to him.
Pang! Pang! Pang!
They put on their armor to avoid receiving further damages. With that, the SamJeon church followers rushed ahead-
Do something! You could get hurt if they get to you!-
I know.
Jaehwang answered as he looked up at the flames over his head. The flames were coming from all of the energy inside of him. It wrapped around him like a spider web but Jaehwang didn’t mind it at all. He could feel its intense heat but it didn’t matter, he shrugged the idea of him getting hurt.
‘Tiger Hunter’
Swooshhh……
He flew using his tiger hunter ability and the red flames disappeared. Tiger hunter wasn’t a simple skill that hides him. If it was then it just be treated as a unique skill.
He had to be completely focused. It was more powerful than any other skill even some of the upper-ranked skills.
“Argh!”
The troops aiming for the fire stopped in their tracks as it had disappeared like a mirage. Now they could die by his shooting. The fight was not really much of a big challenge and he was able to understand the watcher’s detecting skill.
Just as the saying goes ‘like a dog that has been chasing a chicken watched the roof’, It was the time to finally cook the chicken-
The exploding arrows are running low-
Huh…… Oh, it looks like they are running low-
There’s a price tag…… $8,000 per arrow. I got it when it was for 24,000.
Recently, he’s been being careful about his spending. The spirit said the price and he felt a little anxious-
Maybe they weren’t worth it. Give me the exploding capsule-
They’ll become bald headed.
The distance was a little far but Jaehwang was like Superman. The exploding capsule was heavy but that was good, it would make a huge impact if it had reached their enemies. He didn’t have a throwing skill but that was no problem. It would be fine even if he threw not that far.
Wooshhh……
He threw three of the exploding capsules. He didn’t even think about waiting for them to explode and just took two more of them in his hand and threw them. He threw them randomly and as hard as he could.
Kwang kwang kwang!!! Kwang kwang!
Jaehwang quickly ran and the capsules started to explode.
Kwang kwang kang!
They wanted to finish baptizing the exploding arrow but they got caught it with its impact. The explosion swept them all away started a trail of flame that reached up into the air. The exploding capsule something that had been only used by the military.
It was a good item to use for monster hunting and were remade into the exploding capsules as a better weapon. That capsule’s effect grew as Jaehwang threw it.
“Save us!”
“Hot! Hot!!”
“S-save us……”
The place was covered in fire. One of them protected himself with his protection skill and one who two others sank into the fire. They were kind of lucky by the exploding capsule’s effect. They were screaming because of their severe burns but they were alive-
You’re all out of exploding capsules-
I see.
His hand was empty. He threw all twenty of them.
Jaehwang escaped and looked back at the roaring flames reaching up into the sky. He could feel his energy rising. He could just sit back and relax and let it recharge but staying still like that works just as well-
I don’t like it.
Jaehwang said-
It is a lot-
Yeah.
He had dished out a lot of firepower but there was still a lot of enemies. They were yelling and screaming but they had a healer. About 60 of them died and some just got hurt. Jaehwang couldn’t think of one variable in that place-
It’s dangerous!
The spirit tried to warn him but, it was too late.
Kwang kwang kwang!!!
Jaehwang then yelled. He turned around, he saw a giant boulder that was then shattered into pieces and its fragments had hit him. Jaehwang who was floating in the air then fell into the tree.
Kwang kwang!
The flames stained his armor as he fell down.
Swoo……ting ting……
Two arrows had hit his armor but it bounced right off-
It’s stronger than I thought. The Teleboard arrow!
Swooshh…… Pang pang!
Jaehwang’s strongest flew through the air.
Ting!
The impact wasn’t so big for him, it just left a bruise on his armor and besides that, everything was fine. He then landed on the ground.
‘Tiger Hunter’
He then started running as he was surrounded by darkness. The enemies didn’t get to see him.
They continued to scream while due to their burns. He flew into the air to avoid the flames that doomed those who stood below-
That sounds like a tiger, the thing that you’re doing-
Was that a joke?
Jaehwang said, in response to the noise made by his armor as he ran. The military grade armor worked out fine.
There were shards that would poke into him when he used it. Sharp shards that were almost 5 centimeters long. They were stabbing into his hand-
You have to hunt tigers but there are so many wild dogs-
Yeah. There’s a lot of them-
Don’t you have to handle the wild dogs first?
Jaehwang just kept moving. He didn’t know how strong the armor was but he kept going just to make sure he was safe.
He continued to walk and he then put the headset on his ears-
Leader-
We were waiting, we thought you were dead-
Sorry.
Jaehwang apologized to Joonghwi. He hadn’t returned for a long time but Joonghwi let it go and continued on with the conversation-
Is it time?-
Yes, it’s time-
Great, now find a good place to hide-
Hah! They should hide from me-
Haha, alright, alright.
He finished the conversation with Jaehwang and hung up the radio. He looked around. They were more camouflaged than ever. Joonghwi, Peji and HyeJin took weapons and shared an excited look.
“Okay…… Shall we do our part?”
“Yes!”
“Okay, on the count of three, let’s go.”
“Yes, leader!”
The platoon members answered with a smile. They were ready to finally get into action. They were now ready to play with fire.
“Three…… Two…… One…… Let’s go!”
Kwang kwang kwang!!!
Giant flames shot up due to a big explosion at the giant footprint that ruptured some of their enemy’s ears as the cliff started to collapse.
Everyone in the valley flew away back to their nests when they thought that it was over but they got to watch their nest get destroyed along with it from below. They could do nothing but scream.
“The giant footprint area will now be completely destroyed”
Joonghwi said as he prepared under the veil of his camouflage.
“First, don’t enter the valley creatures’ habitat …… You can step into their habitat, they are quite docile. Even if you hunt there, just don’t bother them and you’ll be fine. And the second thing to know is that they have a very good sense of smell so be careful…… They’re known to fly over the valley and scoop someone up by the head if they saw or sensed them. And what was the most important thing?”
“Never bother the valley creature queen. Never, ever, ever……”
HyeJin was then completely hidden in his camouflage.
“Got it? The moment you bother the queen…… all the creatures of the valley will come after you. And they will rip you to shreds……”
Hunting Wild Dogs 4, The end.
