Chapter 69: The Huntsman
Kw.a.n.g kw.a.n.g!!
Hundreds of valley creatures flew up in the air to get away from the collapsing cliff.
They flew together into the light of the blue moon that covers them.
“Coming here was their own mistake. Maybe if they’ll never act like this again then they could come back. This kind of behavior is an instant penalty. But if they go to Justin point then that will be a complete mess… But you know what? If we die…”
“Argh!”
Some of the monsters were four times faster than what they had encountered before. The giant footprint was inhabited by the queen and its nest was not destroyed leaving a cloud of dust around it.
.
The queen gave a resentful gaze towards those insects before her.
There was light s.h.i.+ning down on the giant footprint as if it was the middle of the day so she could see the criminals swarming below.
“Wh…What’s that?”
“..It’s crazy…”
“…It’s… the queen…”
The church was chasing down the devil (Jaehw.a.n.g) and looked up to the sky that was filled with the valley creatures. They lowered their weapons as the saw the light from the high roaring fire. The monsters looked down on them from the air and they were scared to even think of running away.
“…It’s a trap.”
The Queen was angry.
They weren’t entirely dumb even though they are not well known for their intelligence. They knew that they were hunters and the only rule that ensures their survival was to never bother the queen. It was a law that could be easily justified and understood but they didn’t know that and attacked. Almost everyone knew that if you tried to mess with the creatures of the valley, they will fight back.
The queen then roared as it flew up into the sky and at that moment, thousands of valley creatures came down charging towards the ground.
“Save us!”
It turned into a h.e.l.l. The valley creatures were flying through the flames aiming for the Bileons down below. This had happened because of Joonghwi’s plan but they didn’t care about that. Their queen was attacked and they needed to get their revenge.
“Go away! Get lost!”
One of the Bileons yelled.
“Ahhh!”
He was then torn into pieces by their claws. The rest of them gave up and tried to escape but the valley creatures were much faster than they were.
“Ahhh!!”
A shadow had cast the ground as if it was a huge could and soon, there were many creatures rus.h.i.+ng into the ground. It wasn’t a normal act of them preying upon those who were weaker than them, they were just tearing them to pieces and when they die, their items would fall into the ground.
“There’s so many.”
The Queen was below the nest when it happened so it crawled out of its nest to safety. Joonghwi got up as well and looked at the disaster with a smile. s.h.i.+ny objects would fall out of them when they get killed.
“Now we can get some objects to bring back to the army troops…”
“Leader… Please…”
Peji pleaded as he shook in fear inside his camouflage. The feeling they had before of wanting to play with fire had already disappeared. He explained the plan and he mentioned about the mess that would happen with the valley creatures but they didn’t think things would end up like this. Peji was shocked and felt a little disappointed at his platoon leader.
If they were unlucky, then the valley creatures would tear them apart at the moment they see them.
“I know. It’s a lot…”
Joonghwi said as he kept his smile. He didn’t want to risk their lives as well.
Jaehw.a.n.g was hiding behind a giant boulder while he watched the valley creatures quietly digging through the leaves
-What are you doing?
-It’s intense. I want to try hiding somewhere deeper…
He dug deep through the leaves making a hole big enough to fit him. The sky was filled with valley creatures and Bileons were being torn to shreds one by one. Blood flying all over the place to the point that he could sometimes see a double rainbow coming out.
There were so many valley creatures randomly flying and ripping them apart. Hiding was the wisest thing to do.
-You’re a little mean.
-Yes. I’m sorry… I know.
Jaehw.a.n.g was completely hidden beneath the leaves. He could see out of them and everything that was going on out there with the help of the spirit.
-Then why did you take the plan this far?… That Joonghwi is not a normal person.
-He’s like a psycho.
Jaehw.a.n.g didn’t even think about how they would explain this disaster when they went back to Justin point. Joonghwi will have to be the one to explain it because he’s the leader of the platoon and planned the mission. The giant footprint was quite a popular place for hunters. They were many things to catch and the by-product of a valley creature could be traded off for a high price.
But because of Joonghwi’s plan and everything that’s happening, the giant footprint area may never be the same. The monster’s habitat had become safe and the queen’s nest had been decorated. If this isn’t what he really wanted then he shouldn’t carry out this crazy plan.
-Everything’s looking great.
-Yeah.
Things had started to calm down all of the church members in the are had been destroyed but there was a man wearing a black armor that remained.
There were many creatures heading towards him but they couldn’t claw through his armor. The mystery guy then grabbed the creatures that were trying to attack him and broke their wings as well as their neck.
There were monsters piled up like a mountain all around him. The queen then followed with a screech and she also encountered the same problem. When she realized that her claws weren’t working she started to put more into it.
She got through his defence. The other valley creatures were taken down but he was still outnumbered and before they knew it, the man was high up in the sky.
The monsters had let him go and started to fall into the ground.
Kw.a.n.g!
There was a loud noise along with that impact.
The queen screeched again and the valley creatures repeated the same process.
One time… Two times… Three times… Four times… Five times…
The mystery showed no reaction to any of it. Anyone would have died no matter how tough their armor was and even his armor was reduced in rags after two drops.
The queen dropped the man around the area and her nest was completely destroyed. The queen then flew around to make sure that the mystery man was dead but there was a terrible lapse in her judgment.
Pang…
He flew up into the air holding onto the queen’s foot. He pretended to be dead and waited to get close.
The queen was startled and tried swaying her foot to get him off and the mystery guy screamed and moved to her wing.. The queen was flying all over the place trying to get him off but soon they both fell into the ground.
Pang pang pang!
The mystery man broke the queen’s spine and decapitated her.
The moment they saw that the queen’s head was taken off, all of the valley creatures screamed in terror and started to escape. They had another place to stay but their entire colony collapse now that the queen had died.
-He’s powerful.
-Yeah… He is powerful.
Jaehw.a.n.g agreed to the spirit. He was really strong. Jaehw.a.n.g wouldn’t even be able to win in a situation like that. If he used a skill then the armor would have never broken and even if it did then there was no guarantee that the mystery man would have died. He didn’t know how he did it and how he took the pain but he did a great job.
-Well, shall we go out hunting?
Jaehw.a.n.g wasn’t thinking of giving up. He wasn’t a warrior champion and didn’t do it often, all he did was hunt monsters. Hunters never tried to test their skills to fight against enemies. Hunters just practiced hunting, it was a matter of success and failure and if they failed, then they could then try again. He was digging into a bit of sharp trap.
Swoosh… Swoosh…
Jaehw.a.n.g made more s.p.a.ce in the leaves he was hiding in.
-Hey… can you raise the limit?
-Okay. There will be a terribly bad strong smell of gunpowder.
Teukteuk.. Teukteukteuk…
Jaehw.a.n.g used an explosive bomb from inside the military bus. Now there were only five of them left. He got a bomb and created a landmine. Aside from the safety of the landmine, Jaehw.a.n.g had to be careful of using his tiger hunter energy in there.
After traveling through the tunnel, he headed towards the city.
Tuekteuk.. Teuk…
A falling pebble hit into a boulder making a loud noise as it rolled off and scared the mystery man.
Click… Click…
They heard a clicking noise followed by a growling sound from a big wild animal, the mystery man then walked towards it. The boulder stopped rolling and he picked up the pebble in his hand as he turned his head around. He didn’t see anything and the moment he turned himself around, he heard a clicking noise beneath his feet.
Kw.a.n.g kw.a.n.g kw.a.n.g kw.a.n.g!!!
There was a series of explosions.
The Huntsman, The end.
