My Range is One Million

Chapter 65: Hunting Wild Dogs

 

“What is it?”

“Th…That…”

The guy standing in front of the pastor wanted to say something but he couldn’t speak. He realized that they were standing at the crossroads of life and death, he was so scared that he couldn’t pull his words out of his mouth.

“We saw three people around the giant’s footprint.”

He said and the pastor’s eyes burned with anger. Today’s event couldn’t go wrong. He put in a lot of effort into this entire day and it couldn’t fail. He had invested in his religious self and practiced his first Cheongun soldier power demonstration while he studied for a future test.

“Was it a criminal?”

“We had made our investigation and found out that it was the members of the Platoon 8 wandering round the area.”

“If they’re here right now, then why don’t you capture them Gwansa?”

The pastor said and Gwansa lowered his head in shame.

“Uh…Yes, of course…”

The pastor was angry and overwhelmed but he calmed down as it wouldn’t have helped with his situation.

“The watchers were two adults and one that is premature in terms of age. We have no more people to send out and… besides the cost of contacting the shrine, all of our troops are preparing in a rush for the hunt.”

“Got it.”

“Quick. Finding a face place for them to take a rest is our top priority”

“Yes, sir!”

He responded to the pastor’s commands. He then looked back at the church’s proud devoted followers. There were 150 people there that were under the command of the religion and that’s what was scary.

“Give them the religion’s honor and the opportunity to have a second chance.”

“Yes, sir.”

Replied his faithful servant who was always with him like a shadow.

“Hmm… Huh?”

He then heard the sound of women screaming in distress. All of them howled in pain as they were thrown into the flames as punishment for rejecting their faith.

“We need a great sacrifice and before we go into war, we’ll need to perform a blood worship.”

The pastor said and his servant shook his head.

“I’ll prepare the sacrifices.”

The moon then found itself across the dark sky. The color and shape of the moon in the Alousu was a little different from the one on earth. The overall appearance was similar but it looked a little bigger and it lit up with blue light along with its cold feeling.

“Why are you agitated?”

The spirit asked. He doesn’t know anyone else but she knows him. Jaehwang was acting different than usual, she could tell especially because she was living inside him. He had no self-control and he just seemed to be a bit off.

He didn’t answer her question and stayed silent until he found his words.

-It seems like they’re angry. I can’t relax no matter how much time goes by.

-Are you talking about the attack?

-Yes.

Things seemed to be running off the right track. Jaehwang felt that something terrible was going to happen right in front of them. He felt that they would get their limbs cut off, they would get skinned and they would get tied to a tree which will be set on fire until they die.

Swooshhh…

The spirit showed up for the first time in a long time. She turned into a young person and sat next to him. She looked like the most beautiful woman in the world.

“Jaehwang…”

She softly placed her hand on his shoulder. She started to look sad as she gazed at him who sat there motionless.

“Everything will be okay…”

She couldn’t tell him the ancestors secret because of her promise with them but his gate was starting to appear.

His ancestors were still receiving their punishment.

In the northern regions during the ancient times, they were originally a hope of success for the three families. They were a gift for the heavens and the earth. All of their magic was given to them from the heavens, but then they received a punishment that would last thousands of years. She carried out her promise to protect their hope of success so one day, they could be free.

During those thousands of years, the family went up in a nameless mountain and tried to hide away.

“You can do it…”

The spirit couldn’t tell him about the secret history that she found herself tangled with. That was another promise she made to them. Her job was to protect him and that meant she had to sacrifice everything and help him realize his destiny.

“You will succeed.”

Everything created in the world had to be within its equal standards. Sometimes a good man could look like a villain. The world is submerged with blood but all of the different views on the road ahead shined towards a bright future.

Another descent was inside of Jaehwang, he had the strength of his ancestors as well as their energy. He needed to spark that blood relation during their attack. If they wanted to reach the sky, it had to be done through Jaehwang and get revenge to balance the scale and make things right.

“You can’t go back when you get older.”

“They need you now.”

“I know.”

Jaehwang replied. Jaehwang decided to continue on… they weren’t evil spirits but she was careful to talk about what kind of friendship she had with them. Even with just a slight interest in revenge, things could get very dark.

“They committed the worst crime so they should die to even out the score.”

“Death would make things even?… Who said that?”

Jaehwang shrugged his shoulder at the spirit’s question.

“Maybe that’s not the right thing to say but should I care about that? They had done horrible things to them. Maybe I know that the path I’m walking is my ancestor’s destiny.”

Jaehwang closed his eyes and concentrated on the dark feeling deep down in his heart.

He had an awful feeling but he wasn’t bothered by it. He couldn’t just push them away and he knew that he would just have to continue on.

“It’s time.”

“Let’s get going.”

Jaehwang checked his wrist and got up. It was the scheduled time to put Joonghwi’s plan in motion.

-Let’s combine our magic together… follow my lead.

-I’m always thankful for you but…

The spirit instantly jumped into the air before he could finish his sentence. He then could see the woods filled with darkness under his feet.

Swooshhh

Three arrows appeared in Jaehwang’s hand. The shape of the arrows that appeared in his hand was different than usual. They were quite long, sharp and it looked like they would never fall if they would get themselves stuck onto something.

They were great. There was a moment where he was shocked to see how much bleeding had it caused. They were good arrows to use when hunting violent monsters. They were very heavy and sturdy. Their only weak point was that they had a terrible short range.

“It’s time to hunt.”

“Ugh… Why is he here…”

“Quiet.”

“Turn off the light, I hate him.”

“Keep it down, let’s finish up.”

“Let’s wait like you said.”

There were two guys walking side by side through the fallen leaves. They weren’t too friendly with each other. Someone came along with Gwansa on his mission. They were trained in the past before becoming Bileons, they had spent a lot of time together but those weren’t enough to fix their relationship.

If they didn’t have a command from the pastor then they wouldn’t spend any time together.

“Just shut up.”

“I think we’re getting close…”

They didn’t have any other security protection with them. They told the pastor about who they think it is even though they’re not completely sure. They wouldn’t get their reward from the pastor if one of them makes a mistake.

Tatagg…

His colleague must have forgotten the meaning of a stakeout as he kept talking. Now they were worried if they were about to die.

“Hey… Something’s wrong…”

He said to his colleague who was hiding in the leaves who then just responded with an uncaring tone.

“Stupid, what are you talking about? Where is the medicine… This is ridiculous!”

He stood up and at that moment his detection skill warned them. His location had now been exposed to the enemy and if they don’t move, then they would certainly die.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh…Swoosh swoosh swoosh…

Pangpangpang… Pangpang…pang

A few arrows rushed in and made the guy scream.

The other guy who was hiding with him yelled and ran out of their hiding place. He checked to see what happened to his colleague and he then understood what happened. The enemy was much faster than his reflexes.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh… Pang pang pang…

Something then flew by hitting his shoulder and caused him to shriek in pain.

He was pinned to the tree by the weapon that shot him and he then looked at his injury to see what hit him.

“Th..this is insane…”

It was an arrow. It was bigger and stronger than a normal arrow… it was the thing that nailed him onto that tree.

“What’s going on!”

He tried to take the arrow out with his hand but it wouldn’t budge.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh… Pang pag pang…

He screamed and cried but soon enough, he could no longer move. Three more arrows came by and kept his other arm and both of his legs to the tree. He then started to bleed.

Hunting A Wild Dog, The end.
