Chapter 215: The World’s Best 2
Someone else then walked through the door.
“Grandfather, you’re here.”
“Yes, I made it here.”
Gwanjae replied.
He hadn’t told Gwanjae anything about the raid so far.
Gwanjae walked towards Jaehwangs and gave him a pat on the shoulder. They hadn’t had much time to talk in awhile.
“Good job.”
“Thanks. I’ve been wanting to talk to you but I didn’t know when we would be able to.”
Jaehwang said.
“Haha. that’s fine, I know you’ve been busy.”
“We can talk later. I’m sure you need some rest right now.”
“Okay.”
Jaehwang said in reply to Gwanjae’s suggestion. Mr. Hwang was also there and looked to be very proud of Jaehwang as well.
“Wow, I’ve never seen you so proud.”
“Haha, how could I not be so proud?”
“Right. You really did a good job out there. It surely must have taken a lot of hard work. I don’t know how you do it.”
“Thanks sir. I’ll be sure to do even better in the future.”
Jaehwang replied. Mr. Hwang’s proud expression then turned a bit sad.
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”
Mr. Hwang said placing his hand on Jaehwang’s shoulder.
“Let’s clear everything up with the others for an announcement tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
It was time to sort everything out for next mission and assign everyone to their positions the next day.
“There are lots of members who want to join Jaehwang.”
“Of course there is but we’ll have that all sorted out.”
Before the announcement they alerted for a few more hunters. Since it was a tenth tier monster raid they would be more hunters to get the job done faster and easier.
“Phew, this is going to be a big job.”
Mr. Hwang said as he went over a few documents.
“We only have one group of guards this time. That could make things more difficult than they should be.”
If they divided the groups of hunters and assistants that would help with their organization.
Gwanjae also offered to help by assigning some of his soldiers for the mission.
“I’m also interested to see if there is any circumstantial evidence on anything.”
“No. I haven’t noticed anything.”
“It could be a bit more difficult because of that.”
“So the only thing to be worried about is the guard situation?”
“Yes. But, the few guards in the team have some of the best training out there. We may not have to worry so much.”
“I guess you’re right, we may not have to worry about that either.”
“Yea. Especially with Gwanjae’s help, we should be fine.”
Jaehwang said.
“Great.”
“I’ll get everything started.”
Jaehwang then left and the moment the door closed behind him Mr. Hwang took a deep breath.
Although he didn’t say anything particularly bad to Jaehwang he felt a sense of relief. It took more than a simple scan to obtain all of the information needed, he did his best to make the best plan for the mission.
“Now I can finish this in relaxation.”
He said to himself.
The next day the raid plan was starting to unfold in action. Although they haven’t failed many raids they still were never fully confident in how things would go.
[Everyone is running and hiding as a tenth tier monster takes over the city! But we’re not too worried knowing we have a powerful hunter on our side.]
[Is he planning on a raid to stop the monster?]
[Everyone waits patiently for the level ten monster comes to the rescue.]
Every new broadcast station were talking about the monster and the possible raid.
The entire city was counting on Jaehwang to come and take down the monster.
Of course he was planning on a raid to destroy the monster but his plan had yet to be completed. He was planning everything as fast as possible while also trying to plan everything as perfectly as possible.
However, there was also a gate somewhere that the monster had to have come from. They would have to find out where it was and destroy it before another monster come through it and cause more trouble.
“Have anyone found any more information on the monster?”
“Yes. we have some documents on it from Tokyo.”
The monster research team captain said in reply to Rumi’s question. After the raid in Tokyo they were able to gather more information to use on the upcoming raid.
“Great.”
Rumi replied.
Thankfully for them that there was only one monster this time although it was a high tank monster.
“Considering how powerful Jaehwang is we shouldn’t have much to worry about. When everything is ready, we’ll be able to catch up with the monster by the time it reaches the Busan station area.”
“Yes. The information from Japan should make everything a lot easier.”
“Right.”
They were even provided with weapons for the soldiers during the raid. It was also important that they got started before any citizens were injured.
“Tell me. Is there anything about the Tokyo economy that we should be concerned about? If so, that could cause for some changes in our approach to attack. What could we do to work around any problems like that?”
“I’ll check.”
Rumi replied.
“Hey, supporting team captain?”
“Yes?”
“What the monster detection like so far?”
“The monster detection is seventy percent complete. The weapons charging still have quite a long way to go.”
“This is the first time we’ve fought a tenth tier monster after all. That’s why the process is taking longer than usual.”
“Okay.”
Rumi replied. Everything seemed to have been going well. They were doing everything they can to have everything prepared for Jaehwang’s raid.
The World’s Best 2, The end.
Chapter 216: The Sword Owner
#1
Blue energy begin to surround Jaehwang as he was testing out a skill. Next to him was the spirit who looked over and said,
“We have to tell them about it.”
“Yes. We have to take care of this. Everything should turn out fine…”
Jaehwang said in reply as he finished up testing the skill. Looks like everything was going good so far. However, the spirit didn’t seem so confident about it.
“Are you sure? The both of us are supposed to handle so much of this? Do you think we can do it?”
Pong! Pong!
-Well, no. Ow! I think I did something wrong.
He said as after testing the skill but injured himself a bit.
“Introduce it again.”
“Alright. Let’s see.”
Jaehwang said after a quick healing.
-Doesn’t it seems like something’s blocking it a lot?
-Hmm, could be… What could it be? Maybe try something else?
-Okay.
Jaehwang said in reply to the spirit’s suggestion.
He and the spirit had been training every day to prepare for the raid.
“Jaehwang.”
The spirit said.
“What?”
-How are you gonna do this?
She asked.
-Things like this could easily not go as planned.
Pong! Pong!
Jaehwang continued to test the skill before replying,
-I know but, I don’t think I have much of a choice anyway.
“Hey, have you seen my tiger anywhere around here…”
A random guy came and asked him.
“What?!”
“It’s okay, you don’t have to be afraid of it, it’s trained. I just need to find it.”
He assured.
“Please tell me if you see it anywhere.”
“I will.”
Jaehwang replied.
“Thank you so much.”
The guy said before rushing off.
-Anyways, at least you have Baekren to help you this time.
-I guess.
-Isn’t it a relief?
-Whatever.
Jaehwang replied. It wasn’t a secret that he did not like Baekren and wish he didn’t have to work with him.
“Come on, you could end up really enjoying it.”
“I wouldn’t count on it…”
“Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Jaehwang and the spirit then went into an empty office and made a phone call.
Beep…
“Can Rumi please come to the office.”
Jaehwang said through the office phone and Rumi came knocking on the door a minute later.
“Hello.”
“Come in.”
She softly opened the door and walked in. instead of sitting in the chair across from Jaehwang she stood next to it.
“It’s okay to sit.”
“That’s okay. I’m fine like this.”
She insisted.
“Alright. I just called you here to talk for a bit.”
“Okay.”
Rumi then decided to sit down and Jaehwang placed a weapon on the table.
It was a sword. The moment she looked at it, her eyes lit up.
“Is that…”
“The magic sword. It’s a special artifact, one of the best.”
“Indeed.”
“Can I take a closer look at it?”
Rumi asked.
“Sure.”
Rumi then took a closer look at sword looking fascinated by it. A rare special artifact like that wasn’t common to come by.
“Is it…”
“I know from when I found out it, it’s important to find the owner.”
“It’s not yours?”
“No. It’s a shame it has to be returned but it’s the right thing to do.”
The artifact could only be activated and used when in the hands of its owner. That’s why anyone couldn’t use any weapon.
“Okay.”
Rumi said still admiring the sword.
She was also clearly disappointed to know that it would eventually have to go
“Alright then, let’s find the owner. Are there any plans you have to find him?”
“Yes.”
Jaehwang answered.
“But, is there any way I could check if it works right?”
“Hmm. I don’t know, that may be a bit difficult.”
Jaehwang said. He couldn’t think of anyone who could possibly be able to test it out besides Gwanjae and that wasn’t even a guarantee.
“Are you sure you can’t do it?”
Rumi suggested.
“Me?”
“Yea, it shouldn’t be that hard for you to figure it out.”
“Uhh, I don’t think that will work.”
Jaehwang said after taking a quick moment to think.
“Come on, just pick it up, focus and see what happens. I wouldn’t be surprised if it worked. At least give it a try.”
“I don’t know…”
Jaehwan replied hesitantly.
Rumi looked a bit disappointed. She picked up the sword and glided her hand across the side of its smooth and shiny blade.
Then, out of nowhere the sword suddenly started to vibrate.
“Huh,,,”
Whooshh
Light began to emerge from the sword as it continued to vibrate ad she held it in her hand.
“Uh, what’s going on?…”
She said in a bit of a panic still while still holding the sword. Jaehwang was too shocked to do anything but watch.
-Wow… That’s it… That’s what it needed….!”
The spirit said.
-What?
-Just keep watching.
Swooshhh…
The light from the sword grew bigger and brighter.
Blue energy emerged from the sword and started to form a shape.
It looked like a giant snake. The giant snake then wrapped around her and opened its mouth wide showing all its sharp teeth.
The blue energy filled the entire office room.
-It’s the snake. The power of the sword.
-The snake?
Jaehwang asked.
-You thought it was just like any other artifact?
-It’s another passed down magic weapon?
-Of course. It’s one of the oldest but still one of the most powerful.
-Ah…
The spirit explained to him everything about the sword.
Although he still didn’t fully understand what was going on Jaehwang continued to watched in amazement.
“Watch closely.”
The spirit said appearing next to him in human form.
“She’s gonna be alright though, right?”
Jaehwang asked.
“Shhh. Just pay attention.”
The spirit replied.
She then disappeared back into his head.
#2
No one was sure how much time had passed by so far.
Suddenly, it was all over.
Rumi fainted and fell onto the floor along with the sword.
Jaehwang then picked up Rumi up off of the floor and into his arms. Looked like the spirit was right, she was the owner of the sword. It must have been passed down from her family years ago.
If that was true then that means she could be just as powerful as Jaehwang. Or even more powerful.
-Jaehwang, do this person a favor.
The spirit said.
-Okay.
-It should be easy to gather the energy.
She then noticed Rumi’s arm.
-It looks like a tiger mark… That could only mean one thing.
-No way…
Jaehwang replied in shock.
The Sword Owner, The end.
