Jiijjiiikkiik
Suddenlyhe felt something on his shoulder.
It must have been a sign of something dangerous about to happen. He could feel the energy rushing through him.
He turned his head and he briefly saw the arrow quickly fly right by him.
Halcan didn’t have any armed weapons with him to protect himself. But, somehow he must have gotten lucky.
The arrow went right past him.
Crashh!!!
A loud explosion erupted as the arrow crashed. Halcan became covered in fragments from the explosion. Although he was in pain he was amazed at what he just saw.
Jiiijjjiiikk… Jiijjiikkk
The arrow then started to make a strange sound. Just then a painfully bright white light appeared cover the entire area.
Pongg!!
The arrow and everything around then broke into dozens of small pieces flying all over the place.
How could one simple arrow do something like that?…
“Ahhhh!!!”
Halcan shouted in fright. He gathered his two hands together and focused on them. Soon black energy started to form in his hands. Then…
Pongg!!
The moment he tried to get close to the arrow it exploded.
“Ahhh!”
A light started to emit from a pendant necklace he was wearing.
It was a necklace that Baekren gave him when both of them parted ways. She gave it to him to help make him stronger and to block monsters away. A black light began to come out of the pendant and shine onto the arrow.
With the two of the energies mixing together they made an even stronger energy light. And…
POng!
The pendant exploded into tiny little pieces flying everywhere.
“Nooo!!”
Halcan scream. That pendant meant the world to him. There was no way he could fix it or anything. He was torn. The arrow then started to make strange noises again.
Jjjiijjiiikkiikk!
Halcan was already regretting everything.
He wished he just stayed out of the fight.
Everything was being ruined because of his greed. The arrow wasn’t even done yet. It still seemed to be in the process of something.
“Ahhhh!!”
Halcan screamed again and tried to quickly run away to find safety.
Pong!!
The explosion caused him to fly into the air and then crash into the ground.
Luckily, he didn’t die. But, he was feeling a sharp pain in his right arm.

“Wheu”
Jaehwang kneeled down on his knees and watched the sight.
He was completely exhausted after using all his energy on that arrow.
-Wow, that takes a lot.
The spirit said.
-You’re still alive?
Jaehwang asked. It seemed as if she died but after hearing her voice he couldn’t believe that she was still alive.
-Of course I am. It was a pretty intense process but I’m fine.
The spirit replied.
A lot of the Oaks did die from the attack. Just as they planned.
Blood was everywhere.
-I’m still not too good at this.
Jaehwang said. Instead of feeling sad there was then a smile on his face. He still had a long way and needed the spirit by his side every step of the way.
The Oaks seemed to be pretty much defeated. All of them were bleeding severely. Fragments were piled up on the ground everywhere.
Even the Oak leader, Halcan, couldn’t fight back. But Jaehwang was surprised when he realized that he was still alive. How could he have survived that attack?
Jjjiiikkkiik
Something beside Halcan began to start making a strange noise. It was the same sound that the arrow made during the attack. Something then came walking out from behind the mess the chaos made. They were carrying a big backpack on their back. The person looked around as if she was wondering where he was. It was Baekrin. The moment she looked and saw Halcan she ran towards him excitedly.
“How did this happen!”
Baekrin asked as she looked at Halcan in shock.
The pendant he was given was made to protect him from all harm and danger that he encountered. Baekrin couldn’t believe it when he saw him. How could this happen to him. He knew Halcan as a very strong person so seeing him in such a situation was very surprising.
“You need healing, fast!”
She said and rushed to heal him. A bright light emitted from out of her hands and surrounded Halcan. Other Oaks were trying to get Baekrin’s attention so she could heal them but she was only focused on Halcan.
“Darn it. It’s not just any normal wound.”
She said after trying to heal him but nothing was working the way she wanted.
At first she thought it would be a wound that would be easy to heal. However, it was much more severe than she thought.
“What is going on here?!”
Baekrin said in surprise after looking around some more. She saw a young adult male with long hair standing there. He had a beautiful face. He was wearing earrings, a necklace, a bracelet and rings on his fingers. He appeared all of a sudden out of thin air.
“Who are you?”
There was a paper in his hand that he dropped on the ground. Halcan then picked up.
“We have to analyze this.”
It was time to take a rest from the fight.
-Stop them!
He shouted. Baekrin then tilted her head and asked,
-Why not?!
-You have to go! Please! Get out of here! He’s coming back! That guy is coming!
Halcan was afraid that Jaehwang was coming back to attack him again. He didn’t want Baekrin anywhere near him fearing that she would get hurt. If anything was to happen to her he would never be able to forgive himself.
-It’s not safe here. Hurry, escape!
He continued to beg her to escape. He could feel that he was coming back to attack again.
Goosebumps started to show up on his arms.
What his ancestors told him was right. He was going to show up one day. Unfortunately, he was not prepared for it.
-I can’t leave you here alone like this.
Baekrin said. She was determined to stay by his side no matter what.
-You can’t stay here! It’s too dangerous! I’ll handle it, you need to leave. It’s not safe for you to be near me!
Halcan said with a terribly worried tone in his voice.
But, Baekrin had already decided that she was staying and she stuck by that decision.
She was not going to just leave him to die.
She then looked around and noticed something.
“The secret weapon!”
It was on the ground covered in fragments.
-How did this happen?
-I’m telling you, someone’s after me.
It had clearly been through a lot but there wasn’t even a scratch on it. It was basically invincible.
-He probably doesn’t know that you’re here so you have time to escape.
Halcan said trying his best to make her leave before something terrible happened again. But of course she denied that again.
-I’m not going to leave you. Let’s take a look at this.
She said picking up the secret weapon.

Jaehwang tilted his head as he wondered why he could feel the energy of more Oaks.
He was surrounded by lots of them but he couldn’t find them. Thankfully the spirit was able to track them down when he was ready to hunt them.
Their movements were very careful and quiet.
-They’re seem to be very skilled.
The spirit said.
-Them?
-Yea. I can feel it. I finally found them! Just the person we were looking for.
The spirit said and Jaehwang’s eyes opened wide in shock. They finally found who they were searching for all this time.
His heart suddenly started racing. It’s been so long since they last faced him.
-Are you sure?…
Jaehwang asked and the spirit was certain of her senses. Jaehwang would have to fight face to face with one of the powerful ancestors. He’s been spending a long time preparing. There was no way that he could lose.
He then briefly checked his skill status window.
Energy Level: 1900/12,000
-Darn it. That’s not enough.
Although his energy level went up during the fight with the Oaks it still wasn’t enough. Even the spirit wasn’t fully prepared. He needed to rest and let himself recharge.
Jaehwang thought that maybe it was time to practice using the magic arrow.
He was very disadvantaged in various ways.
-Can’t you just go?
The spirit said. Jaehwang shook his head and replied,
-I’m not ready. I have to wait first.
-Use a spell so you can escape!
-Spells are blocked. And if they’re not then they can be tracked.
-I see. You have to be really careful fighting against him.
The spirit said and Jaehwang nodded his head in agreement. He wasn’t sure about what to expect at all but he was going to prepare as much as he could.
-Well, first let’s go over there and make a plan and rest.
-Okay.
They went over to a place where they could rest and think. Jaehwang took off the ‘Nightmare King’ armor and discussed a plan with the spirit.
[Armor Set ‘Nightmare King Set’ Complete.]
[Set Effects]
[Energy used refilled by 30 percent.]
[Attack Strength refilled by 20 percent.]
After a few minutes of resting the armor set was successfully recharging.
Now that its strength had refilled again it’s attacks would be more powerful than they were when he was exhausted.
-The Oaks should be out of our way now. I haven’t noticed any nearby.
-Really?
Jaehwang asked in reply and the spirit nodded her head confirming the news. If the Oaks were dead then that means their plan was finished successfully.
If Jaehwang still weren’t so tired he could cheer.
-That’s a relief. If this plan goes well then I should be fine in this fight.
Jaehwang said. They just had to hope for everything to go well.
-Yea! He’s gonna get it!
The spirit said telling off the ancestor. Jaehwang then smiled.
But, he felt disappointed. He couldn’t let the spirit help him fight this time. This time he had to do it on his own.
-Now we just relax here.
Jaehwang said with a smile on his face. Waiting was like a hunters’ best friend.
Hello, Old Enemy 2, The end.
