Chapter 162: An Exchange
Whooshhh
There was a strange silence that covered the entire Justin Point.
Oak soldiers and citizens were still heading towards Justin Point but they had to be very careful. They heard a loud scream but there was no way to tell where it could have co from.
“Ahhhhh! There’s soone in the neighborhood!”
Baekrin and Halcan were wondering if it could have the enemy he faced earlier. Baekren and him had been close for a long ti. After knowing him for a long ti she could just look at him and tell what he was thinking.
Baekren stayed by his side to help him just in case the person that attacked him ca back again.
Of course they weren’t going to just stay waiting around for him to co back. They went to et their leader to talk with him.
-I need to talk to the human just once. If he listens to what I have to say then maybe he can co here by tomorrow morning and we can sort this out. I’m sure I can convince him.
-That’s funny. He won’t co. Even if you’re bleeding to death or crying he’ll still keep hunting you down.
-I know but, I have to do sothing...
-I don’t know.
- either but I’m 83 now. I’ve experienced a lot by now. I know that these things aren’t going to be easy.
-You’re 83 but you still read comics.
-Of course. How can I let those go? Haha
Baekren replied with a laugh. He couldn’t believe it but he was 83 years old.
-This is difficult
-You need to rest. Don’t worry too much.
-Sigh. Between all the Oaks that are running, are the ones in armor in danger too?
-Even if there’s tens of thousands of Oaks at once there’s still no use.
-Aren’t you over estimating this person?
-You don’t understand. Listen closely. He’s the last line connected to your ancestors...
-I know.
Baekren answered after he ntioned her past ancestors.
It was on that day. She was going to get sothing special to rember the soldiers. Even back then she went to the comic store many tis but that ti there was sothing specific that she was dying to see. Although she wasn’t even sure if she would like it. She kind of just wanted to leave the training center. There was nothing that she was expecting to happen that day, she planned to go see Yasukuni but nothing more. She didn’t know that it would be the last day she saw her family.
After she arrived in Tokyo to see Yasukuni she went to Tokyo station and opened a gate. It was the ti of the generation mashup... she ran into three dinsions that day... A giant gate opened and there were monsters slaughtering the Japanese people.
After a long life of training all the ti she thought that maybe she could help the Japanese people escape.
However, the monsters were far too powerful.
She rushed to her destination to see Yasukuni in an ancient palace.
Sohow she knew exactly where to go.
It was her first ti there but it felt as if sothing just kept pulling her and showing her where to go that day. Fortunately, later that day she found so weapons to protect herself.
They weren’t much but it was enough to help her get to her destination. Soon she found a giant door. It was where the Japanese treasure was stored.
On that day soone called her saying that they had sothing to ask her. She quickly got up to find a way to find her ancestors... They were the last of her family but they weren’t on very good terms.
Their etings together were never peaceful, it had been almost ten years since they last saw each other.
Clearly she didn’t go there to et with them that day. If she saw them then she could have gotten killed. On that day she realized she was cursed. Maybe if she had ignored the call and just stayed with her family during that day then her parents and her brother could have lived.
But, it was too late. All of its already in the past.
-What nonsense are you thinking? Hurry, let’s go!
-Hey. Do you rember the day I left training for a few days? It turns out that I never actually got called there by anyone. It was all a trap. What could I have done to make soone do that... I’ve done so bad things in the past but they weren’t so bad to deserve that...
She still couldn’t think of why it happened.
To research the spell she would need lots of power and she would have to discuss it with the Japanese clan.
However, the church mbers have been doing their best to help her figure out what it is.
The church mbers and the Oaks help her a lot during those days.
-Are you sure you’ve never t with them before? Maybe you can just talk to them.
-I don’t know. I just want to know why this happened.
Baekren wondered. She never actually thought of going to ask them why.
Would sothing so simple be the answer to sothing she’s wondered for all these years?
The dinsion mashup and the monsters appearing...
-If I go back then they could take my soul.
-Choices are unavoidable in life. If I died then the spell would be broken.
-So your not even going to try to approach them?
-I have no regrets! I’m ending this spell! It will not affect my life any longer. This is it.
-I understand. You need to go back to them. They can remove the spell and they shouldn’t need a reason to do it.
-Right. And don’t worry, I can’t die.
-I know, you can’t get old. Thank goodness.
Although Baekren was in her 80s she didn’t look old. She never aged.
The first ti she tried to et her ancestors was near the treasure chamber and that’s where the spell was ford.
She felt like the spell took her life away from her. Even though she was in her 80s she’s never t the one in life. Halcan was the only person that stayed by her side throughout everything. That’s why he was so important to her.
“Anyway, we can figure this out since it seems like we’ll be sticking together for now.”
Halcan said and Baekren smiled.
They were going to work together and lift the spell.
-Alright. But first, how do we leave this place.
-I’m not sure yet. I have no idea how that other guy left.
-You’re so stupid. Luckily I’m here. Let’s go that way... By the way, that guy who was hunting you.. He didn’t seem to have everything figured out. I an, he didn’t even use the magic arrow correctly. What a relief. You could have died.
-I know. I wasn’t prepared to fight him...
-Well, we will make sure he regrets it.

“Is that Baekren?”
...
“Shhh. Keep it down.”
Jaehwang and the spirit were sitting and eating chocolate.
“Alright, alright.”
The spirit said and disappeared from her human form.
Jaehwang then took a deep breath and looked ahead of the valley he was resting in. To plan the best attack he would have to choose a place near Justin Point near a steep cliff. However, to Jaehwang the person he was fighting had a strange attack range. Attacks and tracking. He locates the city and then find a safe place to plan during the actual fight.
-Do you think he’s on his way? Would he call after a while?
-I doubt it.
The spirit replied.
They had lots of materials for the fight but those were prepared for the fight with the Oaks.
Maybe the ancestor they were fighting was close to the Oaks. Maybe when the new Oak soldier arrived they’ll go on a group hunt to find him.
-I wish he would co quickly.
-Why?
-I’m just ready to get this over with.
Jaehwang simply replied.
-Let’s go.
He got up and just as he said that Baekren showed up. All of a sudden dozens of pillars started to fall from the sky. Oaks then ca surrounding them from every direction.
“Ahhh!”
The Oaks skin had turned red and they started to grow bigger. Much bigger than how Oaks usually were.
-Looks like it’s ti.
The Oaks obviously ca very prepared.
-What are they here for?
Jaehwang asked. He didn’t think that the ancestor would bring Oaks to help fight.
-There here to protect. Fights for them were like that in the past as well.
-Really?
Jaehang asked in reply to the spirit. She was right. They all traveled together.
-It will just be pathetic if they ran away.
He thought. During that long ti they must have been preparing all this.
Deukdeuk
Jaehwang took out a baby arrow and prepared to launch it. Although he couldn’t use the magic arrow, he had other arrows up his sleeve.
‘Strong arrow shower!’
Pang! Pang! Pang!
A strong sonic boom erupted the ground as the arrows fell from the sky. Jaehwang shot them towards the sky and they all continued to fall back down onto the ground just as planned.
‘Unique Arrow and Strong Arrow shower’
Pang! Pangg!
All of the arrows fell from the sky like a heavy rainstorm. When he fought with Sasaki he wasn’t as powerful as he was now. His skill has gotten much more powerful since then.
“Ahrghh!
“Ahhh!”
The Oaks tried their best to shield themselves from the attack but, of course that wasn’t working out so well for all of them.
Pang pang pang pang!!
Energy light trailed behind the arrows as they fell from the sky. Blood was everywhere from the Oaks that were attacked. The attack killed dozens of them but Jaehwang didn’t feel satisfied.
That wasn’t the direction that he wanted to go with this situation.
-What are you going to do next?
With the second attack he thought of using a flaming arrow.
An Exchange, The end.
