Whooosh…… Kwang!

  Arrows were still falling from the sky but it was no longer worthy of their attention.

  “Ha, these arrows……” Sasaki said as she caught an arrow in her hand and broke it. Her blood came out because of her wounds but it soon disappeared. She had gained a regeneration skill.

  All the bones in her body were noticeably strong by the fact that they could now be seen even through the armor she wore. It looked like they’ve grown to their limits. She clearly had a high boost on both of her strength and skills. Sasaki’s armor looked like more of a burden now that it was torn open because of her transformation.

  “Arghhh!!!” Sasaki shouted as she readied herself to fight.

  ***

  —Wow.

  —Well, this is not good.

  Jaehwang said after they’ve watched Sasaki’s transformation.

  —What do you mean?

  —Maybe we could just fight with a stick or something……

  Jaehwang fell silent the moment he heard her reply.

  —It was a joke. Hahaha!

  Jaehwang was standing on a rock that was only two kilometers away from Sasaki. He went over there so no one would be able to notice him easily.

  —Stop joking around. Do you know what this means?

  —Of course. It’s like a level up transformation but it was made possible through a spell. She looks like she knew a lot about this……

  —Level up?

  —Yes, a level up. Some advanced sorcerers were weak in terms of their physical capabilities so to make up for that, they’ll take the strength of others to protect themselves. By using a blood sacrifice, they could maintain that power depending on the quality of what they’ve used. That could probably last about forever, arrows or other weapons won’t help at all since they could now heal themselves right away.

  —How strong is she? How much time will it take to defeat her?

  —Her attacks shouldn’t be too strong. The real question is, how much can she maintain that form. As long as you could avoid her attacks then you should be fine. She’s probably only about 5th or 6th tier after her power boost.

  —Anything else I should know?

  —Her mobility and durability should be really good. I’d say it would last about three hours. Either you break that spell by killing her other clan members or wait around for three hours until her spell wears off.

  —Alright.

  Jaehwang replied as soon as she finished her explanation. She didn’t look so powerful and apparently, her attacks wouldn’t be so strong. He could fight her right away and since they were in the mountains, he could play around with all of his advantages.

  —I’m ready.

  Jaehwang with a voice filled with confidence.

  —Okay. But remember, I don’t know exactly what is going on and how this will go.

  The spirit replied. They had to understand the area that they were moving on.

  —Alright, thanks.

  Jaehwang knew exactly what to do……

  “Hmm, I’m going to need some help if I’m going to catch them,” Jaehwang said as he thought about it. He needed time to prepare.

  —Can you help me?

  He asked the spirit.

  —I can’t, this is something that you could get some hunting experience from.

  Jaehwang then took a deep breath and gently pulled back the bowstring with his right hand. He closed his eyes and with a hint of confidence, he went over his plan.

  He remembered how he would hunt wild pigs in the mountains a long time ago. They were also fast and strong but he was still able to hunt a lot of them. Jaehwang and his father would always hunt them together and as his father would watch them take their last breath, he would ask him,

  “Isn’t this fun?”


  “Yes!” Jaehwang would then reply with his words filled with joy.

  ***

  Jiiijiikk……

  “Stupid fly!” Sasaki shouted as she punched a rock that was much bigger compared to hers.

  Kwang Kwang Kwang!!!!

  The rock was then broken into pieces and was scattered all over the place. Obviously, that wasn’t a problem for her thanks to her monster transformation.

  Swoosh…… Pong!

  An arrow flew into the back of her head and right before then, a few rocks came in at the speed of a cannonball. All of the trees that surrounded her were torn down due to all of his explosive attacks.

  “Die,” The monster thought to herself. Jaehwang kept hiding after attacking, leading their fight into a game of hide-and-seek that lasted for about an hour. At first, the monster thought she could instantly catch her enemy but she failed. She looked around but she couldn’t find him, all she knew was that he couldn’t have run away to escape.

  If they weren’t in the forest then she could easily catch him and kill him. Little did she know that he was hiding between a big tree and a rock to waste her time as much as possible. He waited for the spell to wear off as he waited for the right time to start his assault.

  ‘It’s time!’


  He prepared his bow and arrow.

  Pong pong pong!!!!

  “Arghh!” The monster shouted as a few arrows buried themselves in her back while Jaehwang kept his presence hidden as he attacked.

  The monster’s eyes kept blinking from her normal dark brown eyes to red.

  “It’s dangerous.” He continued to stay hidden, pretending as if he had escaped as he shot his arrows behind the trees and rocks from a distance.

  “Arghh!”


  Pong Pong Pong!

  He threw around a lot of rocks and sticks to mess her up. He continued to harass her with his simple attacks as he prepared himself to start off his plan. He kept this on while using his [Tiger Hunter] skill to move around without being seen.

  —Shoot!

  The arrow flew through the air and hit the monster causing it to roar in pain.

  “Come out and fight me for real you coward!” The monster shouted.

  —Does it think that I’m stupid?

  —Maybe.

  Jaehwang replied but then again, this wasn’t a fight, this was a hunt.

  —If you two were to fight face-to-face then they would probably run away again.

  The spirit said.

  —Let’s see.

  The spirit remained hidden in the trees as he kept her eyes on the monster and her other clan members.

  —Ready?

  —Ready!

  They were finally prepared and ready to go on with what he had planned.

  [Arrow Barrage!]

  The spirit could help him this time.

  Jaehwang held both of his hands together. A full moon came out of the sky as he called upon a lightning that struck him and slowly, he became stronger and stronger.

  [Strong Arrow and Exploding arrow!]

  Whoosh! Pong!

  A gigantic sonic boom occurred that ripped through the skies with its piercing glow. It flew through the sky and reached its target. The monster tried to run away but unfortunately, it caught up to her.

  Ponggg!

  Another arrow came in like a cannonball while the other crashed into the nearby tree.

  The monster fell into the ground because of the gigantic impact that shook it She was left unable to move and although she couldn’t see who did it to her, she knew that it was Jaehwang. She could no longer fight back. She had become too weak to heal herself, it was as if she was on the verge of death.

  “I……I need to eat.”


  She grabbed a handful of fallen leaves from the ground and stuffed it in her mouth. She felt as if she couldn’t breathe but she felt her senses coming back by the minute.

  “This…… Isn’t working.” She started to crawl away in order to escape, but that was her mistake.

  She wondered why she had to suffer that way. Maybe the transformation was a big mistake. She thought that she should have just used her clan members as a decoy so that they could escape one by one.

  Evil Spirits 2, The End.
