KwangKwang!!! Jaehwang got out of the wreckage and noticed that Mingyeon wasn't with him. He didn't see Yuri either, all he saw was the same monster hovering above along with all the gunshots that rang in the background. Tuteuktututeuk!!! The two 30mm continued to spit fire but the bullets kept bouncing off of its skin. It was made clear that their guns wouldn't work so well on anything more than a fourth tier monster. -...Jaehwang, Yuri and Mingyeong aren't answering! Try to see what's going on. I'll take care of it for the meantime. -Got it. Joongwhi's voice echoed through his headset before he jumped back into the wreckage once again. It turned into total chaos. She had finished healing them but their bodies were still sore that none of them could move on their own and flee. Yuri was hurt as well. She used herself as a shield to defend Mingyeon but her power suit wasn't enough to tank a blow as powerful as what they had just received. "What happened…" Jaehwang was shocked. He almost wasn't able to speak when he saw Mingyeon cradling yuri with a worried look on her face. "Hang in there!" Jaehwang said to Mingyeon. She was struggling to breathe and her eyes were filled with fear. She fished for a small sack in her pocket with her shaky hands and she covered her nose and mouth before she took a deep breath. Her panic disorder kicked in. She managed to regulate her breathing but she still had that scared look on her teary eyes as her body continued to shake. She can't move properly. "...I think I'm going to go crazy." Everyone on the military bus had tried to locate where the monster was at the moment. Yuri wasn't herself because of the damage that she took from the wreckage that was supposed to crash to Mingyeon. There wasn't enough time to heal her and it would even take a lot more just to put her on the brighter side of things. On the other hand, Mingyeon was fine but she was still too frightened to move. "...This is really not going well…" He said and grabbed Mingyeon's. "Hey! Let go!" She yelled and pushed his hands away from her. Both of them were angry and stressed. She wanted to just lose her mind but she had to hang in there to keep Jaehwang in control since she knew that that type of behavior would only make things worse. It was true that people would do stupid things in difficult situations to shock and reboot their minds but the human brain is much more complicated compared to that. -What do we do? -First, I need you need to relax. It looked like they haven't thought about that but the real problem was they didn't know how to. -Help me. Jaehwang asked the spirit. He knew that she had an endless amount of magic and there had to be a way that she could help them. -There's nothing I can do. Just relax and think… Jaehwang then took a deep breath. They had no ideas left. "What are we going to do?" Jaehwang then relaxed and buried himself in thought. That's when she felt something. She felt a warm touch, Jaehwang smelled a sweet scent and both of them heard a sound. Minyeong kept her eyes shut and asked who could it be. Click… Jaehwang hugged her. He gave her a pat on the back and her body stopped shaking. "Shhhh…" Jaehwang whispered in her ear as he stroke her head just like what his mother did with him in the past. It completely calmed her down. His training days with his father when he was young was beyond challenging so he would always end up running away from the cabin to hide behind a giant boulder and cry. His mother would then come and comfort him in the same way. They pulled away and gazed into each other's eyes. Mingyeon's face was overrun by tears and embarrassment. They were so close that they could feel each other's breaths. "It's okay." "..." Her face was beet red and her mind completely turned blank. Her panic disorder felt like as if it disappeared as soon as she was enveloped by his arms. It felt strange but that wasn't a feeling that she didn't hate. She noticed how sweet he smelled as she saw her face reflecting on the eyes of that handsome face of his. He was like an angel who had a bright halo over his head and that image of him was now permanently stuck in her head as a sight that she would never be able to forget. "How are you feeling?" Her face grew even hotter as she gave him a nod to answer his question. She had to break away from his arms and half of her felt like she didn't want to. "Alright… do you think you can heal these people? I'll take care of that monster." "S… Sure" Mingyeon went back inside the bus wreckage, nothing had changed except for Yuri who was in a worse condition compared to when she last saw her. It was a sight that was supposed to shake her core but her panic disorder seemed to have calmed down. She started to heal her even though it somewhat felt harder than before. Jaehwang then walked up to her and held her hand. She hid her burning face and focused on healing Yuri. -Wow, what a player… -What are you talking about? -Nothing… Jaehwang shrugged off his questions about what she just said and went outside of the wreckage to fight the monster. He carefully picked his arrow and held it on his hand. He knew that everything could go wrong if here to use a wrong one in this kind of scenario. 'Tiger hunter' A mark showed up on him and then he disappeared like a mirage. No one there could no longer see him. He didn't even remember anything about his family doing the same thing, he felt like a hollow that just occupied some space. "Wow." He walked outside with a confused look on his face. TeukTeukTeukTeukTeuk!!! The monster was flying leisurely in the sky. They were trying to shoot the monster with a machine gun and it wasn't doing as great as they had expected. One of the problems that the weapon has was that it was very loud and could attract any monsters from their surroundings. The monster then started to increase its speed. The spirit then spoke to him. -It looks dangerous. -Yeah… It wasn't like any of the monsters that they tried hunting before but for him, it was different. It went back to its normal speed after a while as it hovered above them so he raised his bow and prepared to shoot an arrow. He had to work with different varieties of arrows that he made from all kinds of things but one thing was common, they were able to make the best out of each one if the monster wasn't flying. -That monster seems familiar, haven't we eaten that before? Her voice was smug but she wasn't joking. They had to eat the monsters that they hunted in order to survive. -Maybe we have eaten around thirty? I don't know… -Well Isn't that too accurate? The spirit laughed as Jaehwang tried to aim for its head. -Hello? This is Jaehwang. -Ah boss Jaehwang, how did everything go? -Everything's fine. There was a big impact and Yuri suffered some serious damage. Mingyeon is healing her along with the others inside right now." -Really? Well… that's a relief. I won't let that monster get away with this. Joonghwi was happy that everything turned out to be fine with Jaehwang and the others. He made a terrible judgment. He was sure that the monster had escaped but it was trickier than he thought. It moved around them and attacked at the perfect moment. It made sense that they would attack its weakest point to give it a bit of a harder time to defend itself. That was the reason why it was common sense that they would attack the babies first instead of the mother when they were out doing a raid on a monster's nest. Jaehwang then spoke in his headset again. -Don't go easy on it. -Me? Joonghwi then tilted his head at Jaehwang's answer. He and his archery skills were amazing and he hasn't proven himself to be otherwise even once. He thought he would use his bow but his arrows won't be able to reach it. 'Is it possible?' He would have to go through a lot of preparation just to hunt a fifth tier monster and after thinking about it for a while, Joonghwi started to get nervous. -Alright. Are you ready? He couldn't believe what he was just saying. It had only been a short time but he was giving Jaehwang all of his trust. Everything sounded great. "Wheu…" Jaehwang took a deep breath and readied his arrow. He slowly pulled the string back a bit further to try to put up the strongest attack that he could ever muster. It wasn't like a game that all you had to do was to press a button. It couldn't just be carelessly launched since at least this attack had the power to tear the monster into three pieces. His head and his body had to be in a perfect position. He had already tried it a few times during his time in the Alousu and he remembered that back then, he didn't have enough energy. -It overlapped three times before and failed so I would have to always look after you during the attack, but I don't have to worry about anything like that now. The spirit's voice was sad yet proud. That was it. Now it wasn't just the two of them, he had other people with him. -Now you have others you could rely on. Jaehwang's skills arose as she said those words. 'Silent Arrow' Swoosh… He released the arrow and launched it with a golden light as it pierced through the wall of air. There was a lot of energy packed inside it but it felt like his ancestor's inheritance had been taken out and went along with it. 'Something's strange…' Swoosh… 'The Movement arrow…' 'The Strong arrow…' Papapang! There was no sound when freed his hands from his bow strings but soon enough, the sound of the arrow crashing onto its target filled his ears. The impact was so great that a cloud of dust had appeared. Its massive size surprised Jaehwang at first but he still followed the path where his arrow had landed with the help of the spirit. For the first time, his hunt had started. Rescue Mission 3, The end.
