Chapter 204: The Face Off

#1

— Just as I thought.

Jaehwang said as he examined his surroundings. There was only one person he could think of who could create a dimension gate like that.

— It was Baekren. He was there.

— How do you know?

— I can tell. It’s obvious.

Jaehwang said in reply to the spirit.

— Let’s start examining the area.

Jaehwang said to the spirit. They looked at all the destroyed buildings in the area around the kryp. They should have been able to easily track down everything but although the video was detailed, they couldn’t recognize anything.

All of the buildings looked very different from the last time he’s seen them. He could just use a skill to find the right building but they had to be very careful of every little thing so it was best not to use it.

Jaehwang looked around everywhere and suddenly, he saw something that made him stop walking.

“Finally, I’ve found it.” It was something he found while he was in the Alousu. He finally found it.

Jiiik

It was completely black on one side and black tears were dripping from its face. He took a moment to look at it and their eyes had met. It gazed into his eyes as if there was something in them that it could recognize.

.

A strong pulse of energy then slowly began to form around it.

“Something’s there.”

It reached up to rank A without any training needed and suddenly, something happened out of nowhere.

It wasn’t just one of them hiding, there was three of them. They were scattered around the area but it wasn’t just that, he also heard a hiss.

— What’s going on here?

— Wait for it.

Whiiiii

The spirit then flew up into the sky.

— They’re using some kind of search interference spell. There’s five of them here, but I can’t find where they are exactly.

— Alright.

Jaehwang replied. They didn’t have enough time to hang around and find them all. It would be enough if the spirit could maybe cast a spell that would let them go where they needed to go.

— What should we do? I don’t think an attack would help us in any way. What did you mention to me before?

— Get ready for a scary spell.

Jaehwang already explained what’s going to happen to the spirit in advance.

— Got it. But, don’t they know what to prepare for you now?

Jaehwang was in such a rush to get to Baekren but she was right. They saw him fight in the Alousu so he had to think of something else.

— Well…

Jaehwang turned towards where the enemies were.

“It’s time to hunt…”

A guy sat on the sofa while reading a comic. In front of him was a table with a bowl of ramen on it and a bowl of fruit next to it. It seemed that he had been sitting there for some time.

‘When will he get up and do something besides sitting down and reading comics all day!?’ A lady said in her head as she looked at him.

“Baekren!” She shouted.

“Ugh! I’m so stiff.” He said as soon as he stood up from his chair. He took a sip from the drink that he had on the table after he stretched his shoulders. “There’s nothing in the fridge.”

“He’s here.”

“I know,” he replied calmly. He had already used a lot of search spells to make sure that he would know if there’s a visitor.

“But, that guy is also searching for you.”

“I know but, I’m not worried ” Baekren replied. He looked at the palm of his hands that covered in black liquid. He then went to the restroom and washed it off with water.

“I’m so hungry.”

“What should I do? I don’t think I have to worry about that person interfering with anything any time soon. Right? He doesn’t stand a chance against a 9th tier monster.”

“But, I should prepare just in case,” He picked up the cup of ramen noodles on the table to take a bite.

“It shouldn’t be too hard to defeat him anyway…”

‘But, I still need to be careful though. You never know what they have planned as well.’ Baekren said to himself. He then picked up the comic once again.

“These comics may seem worthless but the inside of them lies something very interesting. It’s one of the best inventions made by humans. Even if it’s not much,” he said as he flipped through the pages of the comic.

“Also, it serves as a good inspiration. I think I know just the spell to use right now.” Just then, red energy began to gather around his hands.

He closed his eyes and started to cast a spell… A moment later, he opened his eyes and looked at the palm of his hands.

“Cool,” He said.

“I hear that this hunter guy is something special. I’ll definitely have to take that into consideration… This is going to be interesting.”

“You’re going to have to use a really effective spell in order to deal with him.”

“Yea but I don’t think that’ll be too difficult. ”

“Maybe not,” the voice in his head replied.

As if Jaehwang was reading Baekren’s movements, Baekrean read his moves very thoroughly.

Jaehwang wasn’t going as slow as he expected. He made it past his first decoy and continued on his way to find Baekren.

There was one mistake that Baekren made. He didn’t properly predict the time of Jaehwang’s raid. Baekren thought that is was going on continuously every day but, it seemed that that wasn’t the case. Although he had a sixth tier monster around him, he had some seventh tier monster lying around the kryp in case something happens.

Obviously, Jaehwang planned out every detail of this mission down to the very second. While Baekren was distracted, something flew past him out of nowhere.

Whoosh…

It was Jaehwang. He finally found him.

‘Strong Arrow’

Ponggg!

There was a loud sonic boom as the arrow crashed into something, causing lots of smoke to surround the area. He only launched one arrow but it was more than enough to cause a scene. He thought that that was over but of course, Jaehwang launched a whole lot more towards him.

Swoosh… Swoosh….

The arrows flew by, leaving a trail of blue energy as they pierced through the monster around him.

— Looks like it’s working.

One of the monsters seemed to be completely done. It didn’t stand a chance against Jaehwang’s arrows.

“Great. Now we only have two days.”

Swoosh… Pongg!!!

Another arrow flew up into the air and exploded into more arrows.

“Unbelievable…” Baekren said as he watched him. According to his research, he was thinking that they have three more days left.

“Darn it. Looks like I don’t have any time to relax.”
