Chapter 163: An Exchange 2
They got shields during the second attack to help but the impact was enough to kill many Oaks. Trails of fire were everywhere.
-The location could have been a trap.
Jaehwang thought. He then flew into the air for a better view. It seems they weren’t putting much effort into protecting themselves.
Whoooshhh! Ponggg!
Unfortunately, he thought a little too late.
Just as Jaehwang suspected, it was a trap. Something shot into him as he was flying through the air. Strange energy began to surround him to the point where he couldn’t see anything.
“Yeah!!”
The Oaks saw that the plan was working and cheered.
-What’s going on? What do we do?!
Jaehwang asked. There was no way that he could have fallen into a trap.
-It’s a spell. You can’t use your hiding skill until it wears off.
-Darn it. I guess I have to do something else.
He couldn’t use his hiding skills for sneak attacks. It was a bit of a disadvantage.
Stomp... Stomp... Stomp...
The Oak leader then came from Justin Point. He came charging at Jaehwang who didn’t have any attacks prepared. A light was emitting from the palm of his hands.
“Checkmate.”
He wasn’t just running. It was like he was flying. With Jaehwang’s hiding skill being broken he was unable to find a way to defend himself.
Instead of fighting back with an attack Jaehwang decided to just try his best to dodge it. It was simple but all he could do at the moment.
-Darn it!
Jaehwang said in frustration.

-So, how was it?
-Aren’t you still a rookie?
Baekren’s suggested plan was very risky.
In the past the Oaks used to follow orders from Baekren.
-Let’s catch him first, then we’ll talk about this....
-We’ll die! We can’t go like this!
-Sigh... I guess you have a point.
Baekren said. She clearly wasn’t feeling as worried as Halcan.
Their secret weapon was broken but it still had lots of strength left in it. Maybe they could just put the pieces back together to try to fix it.
-Wait...
Pong!
Baekren used the secret weapon for the first time and sent Jaehwang flying into the ground.
It worked perfectly.
Unfortunately for her, he seemed to be fine. But, it was the perfect thing they could use to protect themselves.
Pongg! Pongg! Pongg!
“This is crazy!”
She said as she continued to shoot arrows from the machine.
The machine then created a transparent shield in front of her.
“This is great!”
At the same time it created black fog that covered her completely.
For the first time they had something that was close to the skills of a high level hunter.
“Wow!”
Pong!
Baekren started to sweat inside the protective shield. It was very protective but it was still possible for something to get through it.
Jaehwang tried his best to fight back.
“The Oaks will protect me!”
Kwang Kwang Kwang!
Just as she said that the Oaks quickly ran to her side with their shields.
“Shield!”
She then summoned the shield spell. It started off with a circle forming bigger and bigger from under her feet.
Whoosh...
It began to surround them as Jaehwangs arrows shot towards them. However, lucky for them that the shield wasn’t getting damaged at all. Shorty after that the arrows lost their strength and disappeared.
-How could we escape even now?
-There’s nowhere to go!
Baekren looked ahead to see the ancestor they were fighting.
He seemed like a scary person. Could he really be thousands of years old?
She kind of doubted everything about him.
He couldn’t have been hundreds of years old.
“That’s just a person.”
His face turned so pale as he was really scared. She stepped a bit closer to him. Not to attack but just to take a closer look.
She didn’t care about the shield. As she walked towards him he was still shooting arrows.
“Are you crazy! You’re still going to shoot arrows at me? Haha.”
She said with a laugh. She tried to walk towards him as harmlessly as possible while also trying to block off the arrows.
“I’ll take advantage of this time.”
The human started to get tired.
He decided to think a little while the rest of the arrows shot at them.
#2
Swoosh!
Arrows were shooting all over the place. Jaehwang put on his armor and ran to a safe spot.
Kwang! Kwang!
The Oaks were still attacking as well so he had to dodge them as she ran.
Something almost hit him in the head.
-It’s dangerous here. We have to take the others to safety.
-Okay!
The spirit replied. Jaehwang wasn’t doing so great as the Oaks secret weapon had a lot of impact on him.
-Ugh, it won’t break.
The spell was wearing off a little so his attacks were able to get much stronger.
He had a little wounds from their attacks but they weren’t too severe.
Finally, he was able to find a place to disappear to. Their secret weapon was still blocking most of his attacks.
-This is so annoying. They have some type of strong protection.
-Quick, dodge it!
Baekren’s spell still hadn’t worn off yet so all he could do was avoid their attacks.
The spirit then looked over towards Baekren. She was inside a shield watching them with a smile on her face.
-Look at their faces.
-How typical.
The spirit hated seeing their annoying faces. Jaehwang then stop moving for a moment.
Crash! Pangg! Pang!
“Aurghh!”
The moment he stopped he was hit in the leg by an arrow.
Pong!
Jaehwang felt his mind go blank.
“We got him!”
The Oaks cheered as they never really thought that it would happen. A few Oaks then gathered around him with some kind of stick in one of their hands. They must have been preparing to cast a spell.
“Good job!”
Jaehwang lied anxiously on the ground looking up at the sky.
Blood was all over his leg.
He then began to float into the air. By miracle he was able to get a hold of himself and get another arrow to shoot.
“Strong Arrow Shower!”
Pong! Jjiijjiijiiiakk!!! Pong! Pong! Pong!
The moment he pulled the string and let go the arrows began to heavily rain down over the Oaks.
“Ahhh!”
Dozens of Oaks died at once due to his attack.
However, he didn’t stop there. He used the arrow shower attack one more time making things even more intense.
He even kept attacking through his intense leg pain.
Later Jaehwang opened the skill status window.
“The status window!”
When Jaehwang opened the window he was surprised to see that his archery skills had leveled up. Before he already saw that his level percentage was increasing but he was still surprised.
[Level Up]
Skill Point: 0.2 Increase. Level 10 arrival starting now.
[Rank Increase]
Jaehwang then became completely surrounded in white light.
Finally, he had leveled up ro rank A.
Strength Point increase +1.
The analysis of his strength and skill then started.
Lots of writing started to appear on the green translucent skill status window. Eventually there were just three short paragraphs of writings left on the window.
Showing rank increase. There are four options for you to choose from.
1. Strength increase by 3 points
2. Skill upgrade [Special Skill Limit]
3. Skill Training [Special Skill Limit]
4. Random Skill [Special Skill Limit.]
“Darn it...”
Jaehwang said in frustration.
Choosing was always the hard part about leveling up.
“I’ll take the fourth one. Random Skill.”
[Searching for desired skill]
[Search Complete]
“Great!”
After the skill search was finished Jaehwang gained the skill.
Jaehwang was currently at a bit of a weak point. He felt like he made the right decision for his situation.
But, the status window system gave Jaehwang something completely different from what he was thinking.
Tracking Skill- [Unique Skill]
-Traces back up to one month.
-Tracks up to 1000km
-How to use it: analysis by DNA when close enough.
-Perfect to use when using a hiding skill.
[Skill successfully installed.]
“This is crazy!”
Luckily Jaehwang was able to get something he was happy with. A tracking skill... Obviously a tracking skill wasn’t completely useless. The spirit had a tracking skill but having one of his own was really convenient.
-Done!
The spirit said all of a sudden.
-With what?
-That Baekren’s has funny worn off.
-Really?
An Exchange 2, The end.
