My Range is One Million-Chapter 49: Antimatter Modification

“The distance is long, it will take a lot of energy.”

Jaehwang had estimated of what he needed to spend as he pulled the string. He had done it so that his energy would be enough to cover the distance between them. He didn’t say that it would be a silent arrow, it still had made a lot of noise but it was nothing that he should worry about.

Pang! Pang!

Woosh! Woosh!

He shot another arrow and it flew towards the remaining oak riders leaving nothing but a trail of smoke instead of exploding just like what happened before.

There were other people sitting within the distance or three kilometers. It was hard to cover that kind of distance and it was even hard to divide their formation but somehow, his shot went through.

“Wow...”

The only thing that Joongwhi could do was stare. He couldn’t believe what he saw. In all his years of being a hunter, he had only met one other person that had the same skills as his. However, it was obvious that this newcomer had a lot of experience in his choice of weapon, it was something that he had never considered before.

Pang!

Woosh!

The arrow flew by with an intense power and made an explosion at the back of those raider’s heads. A few remaining big grey wolves scurried away since they couldn’t follow what was going on.

Whiii...

Click... Click...

Jahwang’s enhanced his shots with his magic and made Joonghwi feel like as if the ground was shaking every time he draws his bow and releases his arrows.

“Uh... It’s a bit shaky, isn’t it?...”

He could hear its deafening sound and he could feel its impact pulsing from his feet up to his head. It was like he was being reminded how powerful Jaehwang was with every shot.

‘Would we be able to shake them off and change their course even if we’re shooting them from three kilometers away?’

-Yeah.

-Wait!

-I should stop for a bit

-I’ll sort them all out first. I should stop. My hands are aching.

-Okay.

Jooghwi was still being startled every time he takes his shot even though he had already watched it a couple of times. He then had a puzzled expression when he saw the monsters putting away their cover suit. Choi and MinGyeong also looked at the same direction and their mouths were opened wide by surprise. .

“It’s weird...”

“Yes, sir.”

“Can we... give a little advice?”

Jaehwang shook his head at Joonghwi’s question but even he was speechless on what just happened. Both of them then talked as the other platoon members went out to gather the remaining oak raiders.

“I’ve never seen anything like that, was that thing real?”

The monsters were than gathered in a line and Joonghwi then aimed for their heads. Second tier monsters, third tier monsters and every monster that were assembled there died on the spot via headshots. Some of them were able to endure the first shot but he followed it up by shooting their legs as soon as he noticed his mistakes. Some of the monsters had good defensive skills but none of them could move after getting hit by that lethal blow.

Teuk...Teuk...

He pulled an arrow out of the head of one of the monsters.He wanted to be sure if the arrows had some secret behind it’s immense power but soon enough, he noticed that it was just a small common arrow. It was light and there was nothing special about it, it looked like an item that he could easily find in the market.

“Let’s try adding some weight to it.”

“Okay.”

The rear end of the armed bus had a trailer that was filled with monster hunting equipment. They couldn’t just move it in a short notice since all of the necessities that were stored inside of it. The oaks were an expensive thing that they had to sell. After they had finished shooting them one by one, Joongwhi maintained his calm demeanor and walked with Jaehwang towards their lifeless bodies.

“We’ll have to use our navigation system again.”

Joonghwi then shared a few tips and tricks with Jaehwang that left him with a surprised look even after he stopped talking.

“So you’re a Debauzer that had a knack for shooting while you’re still preparing you’re healing skills.”

“Maybe... do we need to put a limit on our shooting distance?”

Asked Mingyu. Jaehwang then remembered the maximum distance that he could cover. He knew himself that he could still shoot further than that but he couldn’t risk damaging his hands while doing so. He wondered for a moment of the distance should be lowered since long distance shots were sometimes useless and takes a lot of work as well as energy to pull off.

:”Four kilometers.”

“...”

“Are you crazy?!... Uh... sorry.”

All of the other hunters was gathered around him and he didn’t want to disappoint any of them. He could sense that there were people there that could shoot up to a hundred kilometers. Covering four kilometers was difficult, he could shoot a certain static object within that distance and that would only make it reasonable. He could potentially hurt his hands by doing so but none could deny that it packed a lot of power.

“Are you sure we should do it here?...”

Asked Choi. If he could do the same thing, he would just get himself into their nation’s clan and earn a bundle of money out of the jobs being offered all around the world. That thought made him laugh, he already had tons of money so he could easily turn that down. His plan was to make money on his own until he gets to join a clan of his choice.

He still couldn’t manage his special abilities until then. He didn’t think that he would be entering a dimension gate like that one he was in at the moment.

“I don’t like what it’s affiliated to.”

Jaehwang said with a cold voice, making everyone around him confused until Joongwhi broke the awkward silence that he conjured.

“Watch this video, everyone...”

He went into the bus and got the monitor out before he pressed a button to turn it on. The oaks soon appeared in the screen accompanied by their surroundings that looked like it was just hit by a calamity.

“Was that an exploding arrow?...”

“Yes and it uses a lot of energy just to make it explode” 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

“Wow.”

They couldn’t help but react at Jaehwang’s answer.

Everyone was surprised. It wasn’t just a simple shooting skill. The first arrow left the oaks with a huge cloud of smoke. The explosion was made out of pure force, It didn’t contain any flames and as just he said, he clearly had a powerful skill.

Just as he said...

“It’s just like a gun.”

He was confident that his skill was stronger compared to his skills yesterday and watching that video made him want to even get better. He thought Jaehwang as a human cannon.

“Okay everyone, pay attention...”

Joonghwi then gathered everyone and cleared his throat before he spoke.

Because of what just happened, they had to stay low and discuss the result of what they just saw while getting everyone’s opinion.

“??”

“Our goal is to get stronger... We need to level up immediately.”

“...”

Everyone fell silent. They still couldn’t believe what just happened, they wouldn’t be there just for a few days but the other reserved hunters seemed like they were already forgotten. If they were in a different platoon then they would had just to adjust and adapt then that would have made more sense. There was just one one thing that they were all wondering about, they were all asking about how strong could that human cannon get.

“It’s scarier than I thought... a Debauzer...”

He seemed like a Gagseog but he himself didn’t understand why he called himself that even though he seemed more of a Debauzer.

“Ah... Let’s save all the admiration for later and let’s modify our plan right now.”

After that, he spoke with Jaehwang before he moved on to the other platoon leaders.

“With just one word, we would give our money to this one here.”

Said by instructor Seongyun, the hunters that were affiliated with the army were just hired soldiers with circumstances. It was obvious that money was their goal.

“Listen closely, the reconnoitering scale can track 100 animals within its range.”

“Wow... One hundred animals...”

Yang Haye who acted as the platoon’s military discipline president got nervous. He was surprised to know that their platoon could shoot up to one hundred animals. He thought that escaping would be better than to use their 30 mm machine gun since it creates a lot of noise.

“So what do you think we should do in the future?”

Choi Hyun asked.

“Maybe we could leave our base and leave everything to Justin point.”

“What?!”

Everyone was surprised at what Joonghwi said. Justin point was associated with the US and Korea ten years ago and that’s where it’s name came from. The Korean army managed the base 716. The US and Korea ruled differently but they ruled together, it ended up as a place with a small tax rate and a big settling city filled with modern facilities.

“So were going to base 716?...”

Seongyun asked in a worried tone. The affiliated platoon was originally honed at their own base. The base 716 could build up a huge army on their own and take charge of all the monster hunting missions. It was all left between a commander and his close friend.

“Wait. Of course were affiliated to base 716 but someone could get hurt on the way.”

He mentioned an anonymous person and Joonghwi started to laugh. Everyone else tilted their heads while they looked at him in agreement. No one knew why Joongwhi found it funny.

“How would we ever have the strength for it...”

“Would that stupid commander and his assistant allow it?”

“I thought about that too.”

They both then looked and Jaehwang in a strange way.

-The affiliated platoon said that they want to go to Justin point?

“Yes.”

-Hm... Okay. It won’t be difficult. Believe and trust the others and by the way, how is it living together with everyone.?

“It’s going good.”

-Good to hear.... Okay, see you tomorrow. Wait, Jaehwang?

“Yes, Grandfather?”

-When you start working, don’t call me. Just continue on as usual.

-I’m sorry. It’s just that you’ll be busy...”

-And it’ll be hard inside the gate so you’ll need to focus okay?

“Okay, Grandfather.”

Click...

Jaehwang hung up the phone and tears started to well up in his eyes. Joonghwi saw him and asked him a question of out curiosity.

“What’s wrong?”

“We’ll be moving till tomorrow.”

“Come here...”

He then couldn’t be anymore surprised.

“...Of course...”

“Wow... I didn’t know it would be a few days but... everyday... will we not hear about the antimatter modification until the end?”

The others were confused and even though he didn’t really answer anything about his phone call, they were still surprised. They doubted him at first but they didn’t know that had strong personal connections as well. Some of them even wondered if he knew the president of korea as well.

“He’s GwanJae’s grandson...”

“Ha... What are they gonna make us do?”

“I have no idea.”

Joonghwi was actually the one who doubted it. He was the one who told Jaehwang about Justin point and where to find it. If one were to look in a certain direction of the earth then he/she would know that there were a type of ROK-US combined forces within the Gaema Heights. It was filled with weapons from the US army that serves as a bait in that neighborhood.

That base was wrongfully bought by base 716 but on the bright side, that place didn’t have any monsters. The best thing about that was that those who came to hunt monsters won’t be monitored. The leader as well as his assistant were in the middle of a war and none could stop it. They didn’t have to worry about anything in Justin point.

It was usually a ridiculous task. What he said was great but it felt like he was like running away. An army anywhere in the world could move their platoon however they wanted and even though Joonghwi didn’t want to submit to the military law, there was nothing that they could do.

However, a task like that could be simply said and done by anyone.

“We’ll do this and call it ‘Preferred topography’.”

“We can do it right away. Joonghwi might run into something he hates there.”

“Right. That’ll be great.”

The affiliated troops suddenly changed their tone but they weren’t agitated about what he said. The platoon members believed in him and listened what Joongwhi had to say.

Refusing that impractical mission was pretty daring. They prioritized and evaluated their safety like the other platoons so they didn’t want to commit to the mission. He would have to completely move their platoon members and forget whatever it was that he hated when he got there.

“So now we have to make a traveling plan. We have to come up with something promising and level up. Then the plan will be complete. Let’s do well. That is our goal from now on.”

-Jaehwang...

-Huh?

-I can’t help you...

-My grandfather said to use flexibility. Wouldn’t it be ridiculous for me to not put any use to it?

Antimatter Modification, The end.
