“Okay, everyone! The raid is finished!”
“Yes!”
The leader shouted and everyone cheered. They had just completed the raid that involved a 6th tier monster. Everyone then went off to celebrate and rest after their successful mission.
They shared some of their souvenir photos taken during the raid and someone then shouted, “Why didn’t the alarm go off!”
“Those fools. They were supposed to make this as smooth as possible but they’ve let something like this happen.”
“S—sir?”
“Quiet!” One of their members tried to calm the leader down. He explained the situation to him but he clearly wasn’t in the mood to understand anything.
“But sir, what do you mean? The place that we escaped from was obviously occupied by monsters. We’ve done it twice so far, twice!”
One of the team members said and the leader looked at him with anger. The leader’s mood turned for worse as soon as they heard that they had succeeded in that 6th tier monster raid.
“What are you talking about? Clearly, we’re still a threat to that monster. We still have to keep an eye out and be very careful! Commander! They need to be disciplined.”
“What?” He asked in a confused tone. It was clear that he was talking about the regulation of the raid. It was the rule that they could have trespassed during that attack. The real problem was that they could have sounded that alarm.
The leader said that the escape plan that he had given was not followed correctly and a mistake like that could have cost them their lives.
‘What are we going to do.’
Obviously, it went well but nevertheless, a mistake is a mistake. After that mission, they did everything that they could to make sure that everything would be fine.
‘If we didn’t have the clan master’s support… Phew.’
The young clan master was recruited on the team last year. He was an adoptive son and a very skilled hunter at best. Without him, things would have been much more difficult.
“First we’ll have to keep moving but a little more safely this time. If we run into some monsters, we’ll just do a simple attack that’s strong enough to get rid of them so we could keep moving. Is that okay?” One of the team members said calmly to their leader.
“Sounds good…”
Swoosh Pang!
An arrow came out of nowhere and buried itself into the commander’s foot.
“I’ve been attacked!” The team leader shouted and the alarm went off. The team members looked around in panic at first until they rushed to get their weapons and shot everything they could see. The commander started to look more frightened.
Deuk deuk deuk.. Pong pong pong!!
Trees and rocks fell all around because of their indiscriminate firing.
“Everyone stop! Stop!” The commander yelled but everyone was too focused to hear him. “Ugh…”
The arrows were used as some kind of threat. They could come from anywhere and some could easily get terribly hurt or even die. Eventually, they saw the shadow of someone walking towards them.
He hoped that he would step on their trap as he got closer. His face was covered with a hood and he stood still.
“What’s going on?” He saw a giant bullet hole in the trap they set.
“There’s been a misunderstanding.” The team members were frightened the moment they realized that they had run out of bullets.
“Do I have to say it again?” The commander asked.
The arrows continued to rain. The team members slowed down with their attacks as they weren’t doing much to help.
“Looks like another accident happened. Maybe it was someone else who’s on a raid?” The commander said as they tried to see where the attacks were coming from. He then caught a glimpse of the weapon and he looked at it carefully to see who could it be.
‘It’s clearly looks like something from popular weapon manufacturer. Could it be a bow and arrow… if so, then it has to be a high ranked hunter.’
He couldn’t tell if it was someone young or older. If he had survived so long out there by himself then he must have been really powerful.
“What do we do?” One of the team members asked but even the commander was confused at this point.
“Well…” The best thing he could do was hope. The team leader then said, “You think there could be someone out there hunting a 6th tier monster alone? Nonsense!”
“Ha…” One of them said as he looked at the commander’s injury.
“What happened!?” The leader asked.
“He got hit with an arrow,” A team member replied as he tended to his commander’s wound.
The leader then wore a worried look on his face. The commander was a very skilled hunter. Without him on their team, they could find themselves in a lot of trouble in the near future.
“Will he be okay?”
They then heard voice colder than the winter winds of the mountain brush behind them.
“What’s going on here?” The team leader wore that frightened look again as he finally recognized that voice. “Uhh.”
The only thing that he could do was to answer with a nervous voice. Obviously, he had already forgotten that Jaehwang was on a solo raid, therefore, they didn’t think that he could be the one that shot them.
“What is the meaning of all this? The shadow asked.
“I see that you’re still being rude and bossy. Should I even ask what’s the problem here?” The clan master asked. He was wearing a weapon belt with a longsword in one of its holders. It was the most expensive and high ranked item that he had. He looked and the sight that he was seeing right in front of him was not a good sign.
—I think they’re confused.
—I know, they’re usually not this frightening. But it does seem pretty realistic.
Jaehwang replied to the spirit. It’s as if this situation belonged in some hunter drama. Everything was so melodramatic and scary like the ones that she watched on TV.
—How are you going to finish them?
—Hmmm… a lot of wastewater should do it.
He already thought of a plan. Jaehwang carefully concentrated and gathered his strength.
The strongest out of all of them was standing right out in front. Both young and old, the older one’s face looked riddled with life’s hardships and the other one looked at Jaehwang with a frightened expression.
Jaehwang didn’t have even the tiniest bit of worry on his face. He’s sure that he would be able to fight them off without a hitch.
—Let’s take it easy on them.
—If you say so.
Jaehwang replied to the spirit.
—The timing has to be just right.
—Okay.
Jaehwang planned for his perfect attack.
“This is harder than I thought.” The commander said.
A big pickup truck drove beside them and he then turned his head because he couldn’t believe what he saw.
“Un—unbelievable!” He shouted. He saw the big pickup truck and even Jaehwang was surprised when he saw who was driving it.
—What is he doing?
The spirit asked. It was Gwanjae who drove it.
He got out of the pickup truck and quickly jogged over to Jaehwang’s side. He was wearing a weapon holster around his waist with a sharp blade on his sides. He walked up to him and explained why he came.
Extra Kill 2, The end.
