My Range is One Million

Chapter 61: An Outing? A mission? 2

“It won’t be easy for us to get close.”

Sengyeon said as he stood with his arms tied. He actually did want to get closer with Jaehwang but it didn’t work out. They’ve known each other for over a month so far and besides Joonghwi, no one addresses him as a boss.

Jaehwang was very skillful and everyone also knew that he was GwanJae’s grandson. The problem was that he was very doubtful and had terrible fighting strength among other things. He wanted to approach Jaehwang first and ask him if they could be friends but he wasn’t that type of person.

Joonghwi was already impressive as it was but even he was surprised by Jaehwang. He was his opposite, he was more of a tough man and that was the cause of his frustration.

“But... there’s a bigger problem, the fighting power deviation is very severe. It’s not coming into the right formation.”

“Phew...”

Jaehwang and Joonghwi were worried now that they had realized that the gap between them and other platoon members was huge.

“This isn’t good.”

“Yeah.”

They were dedicated to the patrol mission but they would surely have to practice their formation skills for any raids. By looking at it through a long-term perspective, it would help a lot it everyone advanced a little more, the problem was that Jaehwang wasn’t close to the team at all.

For the past two days on the trip, they’ve only run into a third tier monster. They all got some rest and practiced their basic formation. Jaehwang’s position was in the back the only issue was that he was the first one to attack and after one attack, he would say goodbye making his teammates see him off with a strange look on their faces.

They understood that Jaehwang was the most dangerous one among them all since the monsters would just ignore the others and would just rush straight onto him. The team then realized that they couldn’t always rely on Jaehwang so they all caved in and established their formation.

Jaehwang was doing perfectly fine on his own. If Jaehwang had skills as good as a tanker then things would have gone better but their team had none and that made the platoon leader, Joonghwi, frustrated.

“We would have to find out the minimum limit...”

Joonghwi thought about the fight from before with the winged monster. One side of the monster’s wing was like a wiping cloth skill, he didn’t know much about those types of monsters but their wings could make illusions and although they were illusions, the monster’s special skill was to fly with a speed comparable to an airplane. They were driven by their wings and that’s why it was the strongest part of them.

Joonghwi went into a different room to hide his concern. He asked himself how much would it cost to hunt a monster like that and was it possible to hunt it wholly and intact.

Joonghwi and Seongyeon were both thinking and then Jaehwang appeared.

“I’m going up to the second floor.”

“Okay. If a monster appears then tell us so we can hunt it...”

Jaehwang would sometimes go to the second floor and shoot monsters down on his own. Hunting wasn’t that exciting but when things are boring him, he would do that to pass the time.

“Okay.”

Jaehwang shook his head and went up the ladder towards the roof.

“Let’s take turns.”

“Oh, Hi Jaehwang. You’ve worked hard...”

She was sitting by the machine gun, distracted with her thoughts. She heard Jaehwang’s voice which made her face turn red so she rushed back inside the bus.

-You’re not lucky with women...

Jaehawng didn’t respond. He would have to explain why Mingyeon was acting that way.

-Why isn’t she chasing you? She should already be doing that at this point.

-That’s enough...

He just really needed to clear his head. He didn’t know that would happen but he tried to avoid it.

“Whew...”

He took a deep breath before he picked up an arrow. He opened the status window to see how much his archery skills had increased.

[Unknown skill] Common Skill

-???

-Risk of Injury Included

It was the skill Sooji used during the match. He checked how much he had improved since then now that he’s able to shoot five arrows at once. The explanation of the skill in the status window wasn’t so good. He thought that maybe if it was explained as if they were in a game then it would have been a lot less trouble when the spirit first came to him.

-Can you show me the energy analysis again?

-Sure, just a second.

The spirit then played back a video. The energy raised up and rotated throughout his body, arms and hands. It would eventually run into and repel each other, causing it to inject itself into his bow and arrow to improve its speed and power.

–You can use this kind of skill...

Jaehwang was holding the bow in his hand and his skill was raised at the moment his arrow flew into the air.

Swooshhh...

He shot five arrows at once at his first try.

The rule was simple, both hands had to maintain their position and after using the skill, there were side effects he had to deal with.

Pang...

A part of his arm had cracked and then it started to breathe.

-Oh, shoot! Go treat it! Quick!

-Alright, alright, you don’t have to shout you know.

The energy on his arm disappeared where it should have been and caused an injury. It was supposed to be there but something happened and strained it. He patched up his arm without a fuss and the spirit then said,

-Can you go and ask that girl something?

-What do you want me to say?

-She knows how to use that skill really good, right? And she looks in a different way now, maybe you could use that as a chance and...

-Yeah... I don’t want to see her again. If our eyes would meet just like last time, it would get awkward.

-What? When you guys met before everything was fine but now it’s weird... don’t you think she hates you? Hey, hey, tell me, do you think she’s pretty?

The spirit asked and Jaehwang gave her a slight smile. He had thought the same thing but he doesn’t want to let her know.

If he had the chance to meet her again then he would want to ask her for help. He cursed himself at why did they had to have such a worse goodbye but then, he felt like he didn’t need to approach her again.

She seemed to be prettier than before. They had separated from each other in a terrible way but he didn’t want it to remain that way.

He didn’t feel worried before but after four years he’s been feeling really anxious and worried. He kept his hopes up that maybe they can work things out if they met again.

-Hey, do you think she’s pretty?

-You obviously have all the player knowledge.

The spirit scoffed.

-Hasn’t she gotten prettier since the last time you saw her?

-What are you talking about... it’s true but...

He with a confused voice and the spirit then laughed. She could clearly see it but she pretended as if she didn’t know.

-But besides that, yours and her skills are on a completely different level now.

-Of course.

Jaehwang nodded. The problem wasn’t that Jaehwang couldn’t cope up with what happened, the problem was that he had all kinds of energies to use. He could even feel Sooji’s gentle and cold energy which felt as if it was overflowing.

-There’s nothing I need from her.

Jaehwang then closed the status window. He had a new archery skill and others but that wasn’t exactly what he needed. Since he received help from the spirit, he was able to get the same speed as her skill provided her even though that skill had a fatal flaw.

‘It can’t use it while moving”

If the skill started to hurt, it had to be stopped since it’s foundation comes from his lower back and he can’t strain it no matter what. It didn’t work well with Jaehwang. His archery skills were all-around and no matter the situation, he could use them but, he had to stop his basic ideology and go against it.

He looked around and then asked the spirit a question.

-Do you know if there are any monsters around us?

-Why?

-I want to go hunting for a little...

-Hm... okay. I’m bored too but let’s not take too long.

Red lights then started to gather around ahead of Jaehwang. At last, there was a shape that started to appear in the air.

Woosh...

The spirit soared lightly through the air.

-What should it be like?

-The concept will be very important...

-Yes.

They talked about it for a second and the spirit then flew into the sky and began to examine their surroundings.

-How many monsters should we go for?

-All of them...

He answered. It seemed like there weren’t any but then dozens started to appear through the thick grass and trees. He could clearly see that one of them was a kolbutu. It looked at the military bus and its face immediately looked terrified.

They didn’t know much about it but it was a type of monster that they occasionally slaughtered so that’s maybe why it was afraid. It could tell that the place was clearly invaded by humans.

They were cruel and brutal invaders... and Jaehwang didn’t feel any sympathy towards them.

Teuk... teuk... teukteukteuk....teukteukteuk....

Jaehwang started pulling the strings to let his arrows out. The spirit handed him his ammo one at a time and his speed increased little by little as he aimed for his personal best.

Pang...Pangpangpang...Pangpangpang...

Kwang!

Kwang!

The arrows flew everywhere but they all reached their targets. They could run but trying to hide was useless. He shared his eyesight with the spirit and that eliminated all of his blind spots. The monsters within the 200-meter radius of the bus were getting shot down. He turned it into a hell for monsters.

Kwangg!

An arrow hit another Kolbutu monster in its head which caused it to shout before it collapsed on the ground.

The red light from the spirit then disappeared. Jaehwang then put on his headset and spoke into it.

“Leader, I’ve hunted a few monsters. Come see.”
