"Are you sure?"

"Completely," Jaehw.a.n.g replied.

"Hmm." While still feeling a bit hesitant, she thought about it a little more. After a little while longer she finally replied, "I will have to take responsibility for the hunter's safety."

Jaehw.a.n.g then nodded his head and said, "This will make it easy."

"It seems so."

Everything seemed to be under control so nothing could possibly go wrong. Capturing the monsters on the raid would be quick and easy. However, they weren't necessarily a squad since there were only two of them on a team and one of them had an unwell leg. They had a good plan and strategy but it was best that they would still be wary of anything that's dangerous.

He looked hesitant but Jaehw.a.n.g took a deep breath and shot an arrow.

Swoosh… Pang!

It flew into the sky and down to its target. He looked confused since the arrow wasn't going where he intended it to be but Seongbin looked at it with a surprised look on her face.

"Ahhh!" Seongbin screamed as she looked up into the sky, she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Jijjiiiijiiiiijji!

Boom!

After a loud explosion, a giant monster flew out of the sky and into the ground about 200 meters away from them.

It was a fourth tier monster that had a wingspan of eight meters. The monster was flying in place in the sky as if it was hiding until the arrow managed to hit it and caused its fall. Seeing a monster like that around in this area was pretty uncommon since their hiding skills were exceptional.

"Wow, was that thing was hiding in the sky?" Jaehw.a.n.g shouted in shock. He had studied about those type of monsters before but he had never seen one of them.

An anti-aircraft weapon was installed so they could attack the fourth tier monsters without using much of their powerful skills. All they had to do was aim.

"So now that that's done, can we just relax?

"Well, I guess so!" She said in reply to Jaehw.a.n.g's question. Jaehw.a.n.g found a computer network and typed in the information that he needed.

There wasn't much on the computer. Although they were relaxing, they still needed something to help them detect the monsters so they could stay out of danger. However, the information provided just needed a pa.s.sword that they didn't know.

He then took a closer look at the information but no matter how he looked at it, he still didn't understand a thing.

"I think we might be here for a while. Everything seems to have changed a lot around here. I wonder if there were some changes on the hunting grounds..."

They were in a cold and relaxing area however, they would be in trouble if they couldn't figure out the networking signal. Their leader trusted Jaehw.a.n.g, especially that he would be able to perfectly do everything as he instructed.

"Thanks for everything so far."

"Wait."

Click!

He was finally able to figure out the code to get what he needed.

"Wow."

They went back to the leader. Seongbin then called Jaehw.a.n.g's name.

"Jaehw.a.n.g."

"Huh?"

"Good job." She patted him on the shoulder and gave him a bright smile.

***

The next morning, Jaehw.a.n.g woke up early and went to the main base with Seongbin. All of the other hunters were still asleep and Seongbin walked pretty fast as if they were running out of time.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, of course," Seongbin answered breathlessly. Jaehw.a.n.g then started to walk faster so he could keep up.

….

Five minutes haven't even gone by but they were already excessively sweating. Jaehw.a.n.g couldn't keep up with her fast pace.

They showed up at a collapsed building after about an hour of walking. There used to be a lot of buildings here as well and those who were left could only be determined by their traces. They started to see a big meadow up ahead of them as they walked further, it was endlessly gigantic and it had beautiful flowers that spanned for miles.

Jaehw.a.n.g then stopped walking and rested his hands on his knees as he tried to catch his breath. Seongbin reached for something in her pocket and took out the paper that Jaehw.a.n.g handed her the other day.

"Is this it?" Jaehw.a.n.g confusingly looked at the directions that he sent to the leader last night to find a specific monster.

Everyone was split up into their respective groups but no one saw that monster at all.

"Hmm... Let's go this way." Jaehw.a.n.g said as pointed towards his side.

Jiiijjiijjjjiii

Jaehw.a.n.g and Seongbin started to hear some noise as they walked further. The sound grew louder and louder and it made Seongbin anxious.

"Let's have a little break before we move on," Jaehw.a.n.g said. "Seongbin, how's our progress?"

"I'll go check!" Seongbin replied to Jaehw.a.n.g and suddenly, a blue light started to glow around them.

[Strength and Power increased by 10 percent.]

[Speed increased by 10 percent.]

[Stamina increased by 10 percent.]

[Attack strength increased by 30 percent.]

The status window opened and showed his previous upgrades. Jaehw.a.n.g smiled as he was happy to see his progress.

—Spirit?

—What is it?

—I need a little help.

—Hm, alright, is everything okay? Did you get hurt or something?"

—I'm getting a bit tired out.

—Okay.

A holographic message then showed up in front of Jaehw.a.n.g.

[Skill Update]

[Energy improvement +1]

[Skill strength improvement +100]

[Healing energy improvement +10 percent.]

"Argh!"

He gathered his hand into a fist before he placed both of his hands over his head in frustration. Jaehw.a.n.g then stood up and walked away from the area that he and Seongbin were sitting. At least he was about to, but dozens of monsters began to run towards them from every direction. It looked as if they were slow but they were actually running towards them at full speed.

Seongbin noticed Jaehw.a.n.g looking at something so she got up to see what it was. She saw those beasts moving in to attack them so she readied herself to fight them off.

Deukdeukdeuk

Jaehw.a.n.g raised his bow and began his a.s.sault.

Teuk! Teuk! Teukteukteuk!!! Teuk!!!

A dense stream of red energy was scattered all around the area along with his arrows and all of it exploded upon impact. It made up a lot of smoke but it soon went away, leaving the corpses of those monsters on the ground.

"...."

Although Seongbin knew he was very skilled and experienced, she was still shocked and speechless.

"Are you okay?" Jaehw.a.n.g asked her.

"Yes, I'm fine." She replied. Although, on the inside, she was in a complete shock.

"Hey"

"Yeah?"

"Let's leave behind a sign that someone was here and then leave."

"How about we write the letter 'K'?"

"Okay." Jaehw.a.n.g agreed. She then picked up a stick and wrote the letter K into the ground.

"Wow, we caught 10 of them."

Jaehw.a.n.g alerted them about how many monsters they've caught through their walkie talkie before they took out the map that pointed them to their next destination.

"This way," Jaehw.a.n.g told her the way where the map told them to go. "Let's go."

"Okay."

They both went towards their next hunting grounds but then, Seongbin's leg then started to hurt. Jaehw.a.n.g noticed it immediately and he placed his hand over her leg.

[Emergency healing]

Swooshh…

"Ohh…"

A red energy came out of Jaehw.a.n.g's hand and all the pain that she had immediately disappeared.

"That should do it. Let's go," Jaehw.a.n.g said as soon as he started to move on. Seongbin stood still in shock for a moment before she got herself back up on her feet.

"Amazing." She said as she walked further without all that pain.

"Is there a secret place safe house around here?" She asked as she quickly ran up ahead to catch up to him.

"Yep," Jaehw.a.n.g replied.

"Wow." She said excitedly as they were on their way for an unpredictable adventure.

Wipe Out 2, The end.
