My Range is One Million-Chapter 48: Human Cannon 2

“The Oak army...”

“Yes, you do have good eyes. We’ll be hunting a gray wolf oak rider that bleeds black blood. They are about 10,000 strong and each one of them packs some power” freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Joonghwi put on a pair of colored glasses and shook his head.

“Their civilization falls under our societal standards. Their influence was not that large but there were a few things related to them in the near east.”

“Yes, sir.”

Joonghwi soon then found their enemy and appeared to be more relaxed.

“We would usually find them during a raid but a raid like that could disturb the hills around us so we picked a place where we could just observe them with our bare eyes. Do you understand?”

“Yes, sir.”

“This part of the Alousu has similar ethnicities and power although the Oaks doesn’t seem to be unconditionally hostile towards us humans. Does anyone of you know all three of the Alousu species?”

Jaehwang then shook his head in response to Joonghwi’s question since he knows quite a lot about its giant species. The most that he had seen were the ones that they were looking at the moment. They boast with their great strength and high rates of reproduction, they were the most common here in Alousu. They were loyal to their pillage economy and even if they were sometimes uncivilized, they were able to dominate the continent through physical supremacy.

They had established a beautiful civilization in the past but they had lost it due to their continuous war with the other races. They were left to walk a broken path despite their place still left looking fine. Some of the Lizardmen, their race, was then turned to slaves.

It was still possible to communicate with a relatively peaceful race of monsters through a native and a human. It was the most peaceful assault that they could think of since they weren’t on the friendliest terms. However, the nation from all parts of the gble came in contact in an attempt to learn more about their world.

-Tell the platoon reader that there should be an Oak rider captured at the front in about seven kilometers and two o’clock of our current position. The guard had just been changed.

They guessed that a hostile group of Oak raiders would come but Joonghwi’s voice remained perfectly calm.

“They are clever people. They were more intelligent than other monsters and they could put up a good fight against us. We need to recheck our range, start to it up when we’re down to two kilometers before we chase them. We may have a machine gun but it doesn’t mean that we should jus twaste our ammo. The noise alone is enough to put our position at risk from high ranked monsters.”

Jaehwang nodded and looked at the machine gun sitting inside its case. All of the weapons that they prepared could attract the monsters lurking around them especially that the noise that it produces could be clearly heard even a few kilometers away.

Click... Whiii...

Jaehwang brought in a 30mm machine gun after the one side of the ceiling of the military bus had been opened. There were people standing in that place but he was already thought of everything he needed to know by Choi Hyun. There was also the shy girl that he spoke to this morning.

“Our platoon members are all at maximum levels but the reserved hunters are not. Even though they are hunters, they don’t improve much so the reserved hunters will attack first. Sit here.”

Jaehwang then put down the machine gun and sat down.

“It’s a projectile that explodes in contact with air. It works with the bow affiliation skill and had its advantages compared to other weapons although its effecting range is pretty short, it could only go about 1000 meters. Some people are not good with it and some haven’t even tried using it, but if there comes a time, there would be one or two people here that would use it. Do you understand?”

“Yes but, Is that a good way to go?”

Jaehwang said as he looked at the weapon beside Joonghwi. The others who were there had the same thought except for Mingyeong who was overwhelmed by her shyness.

“Huh... When did you lose your mind?...”

Joonghwi said before he took a deep breath.

“What’s the problem?”

Joonghwi asked Jaehwang as he looked over towards the Oak raiders.

“You were supposed to serve as our platoon’s main healer and you were discharged to start anew. You had two special ranked healer skills and were pulled into our clan, why are you doing this now?”

He paused for a moment and looked over at MinGyeong.

“Do you have battle panic disorder?”

“Huh? Battle panic disorder?”

Jaehwang asked back. He used to hunt monsters all the time so he couldn’t imagine having a condition like that. Some hunters that were taught in the academy fell down for the same issue and some couldn’t be even cured anymore. Hundreds of them were forced to drop and retire, it turned out to be worse compared to anger management issues.

“I see... I guess you don’t know if you have a panic disorder. I couldn’t tell when I first saw you but the more I think about that earlier battle, I’m starting to think that you had it in you. It’s not that bad but your healing skills had failed so a few people still got injured.”

“Do you want to go back and redo the basics? There are still a few places where we could get ourselves a better healer”

“He’s right but I guess he could do it. A healer that can’t heal won’t be great for our team after all. Your parents must have been killed by monsters when you were little and that may have resulted in trauma, if not, then maybe revenge. It could always show up and it doesn’t always happen during battles. We don’t have much time on our hands to get a new healer so for the meantime, we’ll try to take you with us. Would you be able to do something about it in time?

He said as he looked at Jaehwang’s eyes.

“However, leveling up is really important for you. So you better hurry and improve the stability of our platoon.”

Jaehwang gave them a nod as soon as Joonhwi stopped talking. Joongwhi as the conductor didn’t like the idea of enforcing the platoon’s management policies but leveling him was his top priority. He could be seen as a little self-centered but if he was, then he wouldn’t help MinGyeong that much.

Jaehwang kept an eye on him as he looked towards the Oak Riders. They were about 3 kilometers ahead, he tracked something obliquely triangle shaped and the guy leading them seemed quite experienced. Just as Joonghwi said, he hoped that a high-quality fight would cling onto his serious members.

Of course, he didn’t have to wait that long.

“Now should I explain the goal here?”

“Any questions?”

“Does it matter if I take all of those?”

“Haha. It doesn’t matter. But wouldn’t you rather borrow them? It could be terrifying meeting them in the future.”

Joonghwi answered shook his head and laughed at Jaehwang’s question. Jaehwang then gave him a nod and got up from his seat. He headed towards the right and put on his shooting gloves with a gentle gold colored cover suit. His hands turned red from his tight angry grip and end of the gimlet was as sharp as a knife.

“I guess he’s in good condition.”

He put down the arrow in his hand and looked at the cover suit that he was wearing. If it wasn’t for GwanJae’s help then that masterpiece of a cover suit would have never existed. Although it wasn’t materially received, GwanJae used his personal connections in Finland to get an expert to produce it.

GwanJae was the person who introduced the Laser Mareukanen and got it custom-built through a friend. Jaehwang was also able to get a newly made bow because of him.

But of course, Jaehwang still had to cover all the expenses. The fact that he treated his ancestor’s bow terribly caused him a tremendous amount of stress so he planned to do his best to take care of his new one. After surviving in the Alousu for two years he spent half of his time gathering energy as well as money and gave half of it to GwanJae for the custom-made bow that costs 120 million dollars.

The cover suit was also specially made and was pretty expensive, having a price that almost reached up to 80 million dollars. There were other weapons offered in the Alousu but the prices were terrible after the mine development had begun. All that he had left from his wage was 40 million. He doubted that it would be enough to just enchant it with his skills, the arrows were not just a terrible work of craftsmanship, it was also made from a poor-quality material.

He then started to question the place where he was. After they had finished doing Jaehwang’s requested arrows, the Alcohol poisoning commander started to work on a different project and disappeared. Jaehwang was then deluded to think that his arrow was made by heart, soul and lots of energy. It had the most average design but it had two handles attached to it due to the manufacturer’s mistake.

There was a big accident. He wanted an enchanted bow to strengthen the effects of his skills so they directly produced its arrows through an enchanted scroll. That usually works but that caused an overlap of effects and ruined everything that they had done so far. He had terrible luck but the what he had was the standard of light enchantments. It packed an amazing power.

When the manufacturer reached its peak, the option overlapped twice and because of that, the acceleration level changed four times.

“It’s a special arrow.”

Joonghwi then handed Jaehwang a special bow and he took while he was still unaware of its power. There was a chance that he would have a hard time using those arrows, especially now that they were inside a military bus from a metropolitan city.

Jaehwang didn’t want to stop. It was possible to work with its range but then it needs to enchant by the silent active skill to increase its speed for the long distance shot. Unfortunately, things had turned for worse as he started to take a deep breath.

-The first opening.

-Right. This should help.

-I see.

There was a limitless amount of energy surged through the bowstring as he pointed the arrow to his enemies.

Whoosh...

He overcame about 400 pounds of tension and used as much strength as he possibly could. His energy level was currently at 4.5, the blow turned out to be strong but he still had a hard time drawing it.

“What’s that?”

Joonghwi tried to ask Jaehwang but he was too late.

‘Unique exploding arrow’

Swoosh... Panggg!!!

Joonghwi covered his face as soon as Jaehwang let go of the string.

Swoosh!!

They could hear the sound of the arrow flying through the wind. Joonghwi stopped talking the moment he saw it pierce through the wall of air. The arrow was slow. It obviously couldn’t be compared to a bullet being that slow. However, he wondered if he could really call that as an arrow. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

There was a sonic boom, the felt a pulse of energy when he released the arrow from his hand, it drew an arc-shaped trail over the sky and when it landed...

Kwang...

The bus was greeted by a huge disaster. The arrow itself didn’t seem to explode but then an explosion happened in the middle of their group and collapsed the formation of the Oak Raiders. There were about two to ten people who weren’t shocked in the slightest and the remaining ones were left in confusion.

Human Cannon 2, The end.
