After introducing each other the noise grew bigger. It was a level six hunter.
They carefully walked closer with their shields in hand.
The hunter was unavoidable as it seemed to have been heading right towards them.
As they got closer and closer the sound of the attacks grew louder and louder.
Whoosh!
According to their research the monster was expected to weigh more than fifty kilograms.
But… they made a mistake.
A very big mistake.
The raid leader made a miscalculation that caused for a major set back in their plan. It looked like a women showed up instead of a level ten hunter. Was the hunter not even coming?
They were obviously very confused but had no other choice but to keep moving. All they could do was trust in what they had.
“I’ll see if I can get a closer look.”
One of the soldiers said.
They assumed that the girl they met could be close friends with the hunter they were expecting. She was holding a weapon in her hand so it was clear that she was there for a reason.
Just to be safe they did an analysis on Rumi and didn’t find anything suspicious which was very unexpected.
She seemed to be quite advanced in skill but not so familiar with it.
They asked her a few questions and although she didn’t speak she nodded her head to reply.
However, that meant that she only really replied to the yes or no question and that wasn’t enough to answer all of their questions.

-I’m bored.
The first attack wasn’t what Jaehwang had in mind but they continued on with their plan by sending Rumi ahead to confuse them while he attacks them by surprise.
Clearly Rumi felt a lot of pressure but did her best to go through with it.
The first two soldiers were able to handle their part of the plan fairly good.
For the time being they were going easy with the attacks and saving their full strength for when the real fight began.
-Besides the monster raiding part, we should easily be able to take down these people.
-Yes.
They were feeling a bit tired so they were taking things kind of slow.
-Looks like these guys aren’t going to be difficult to deal with.
-Yea, they seem confused already.
Jaehwang said in reply to Rumi through a headset.
Although she was still feeling a little tense but she was starting to become more relaxed.
Everything was happening on time according to what they planned.
So far two soldiers had succeeded in their part of the plan and now they just had to wait for Rumi to complete the next part.
However, they still had to be on guard at all times because success wasn’t promised as anything could happen at any moment.
Besides, they had a big problem to stay aware of…
The raid leader of the other team was one of his old enemies.
He was worried about what they could have planned and if him and his team were prepared for it.
“What could he be doing…”
He thought to himself.
Nonetheless Jaehwang still tried his best to stay positive.
Everything was getting quieter and quieter in the area.
That was even more of a sign to stay on guard. Rumi took a deep breath as they continued on. After a while of walking she was starting to feel very tired.
But despite being exhausted, she was still able to pull herself together and continue on.
Rumi actually knew the guys on the other team quite well. She met them when she was just a young kid. She learned a lot from them.
So far they haven’t seen any other hunters and things were very quiet. The other team were starting to get confused.
“It looks like our people have made a mistake. Should we apologize?”
He asked wondering if he should apologize to Rumi.
“I don’t know. But, are you gonna help me with this last one?”
“…”
Just in that moment, something felt strange to him.
But, he decided not to mention anything about it.
“Okay.”
Rumi replied.
Until now Rumi had kept the fact that she’s apart of a different clan a secret.
‘They’ll have to beg for mercy after this mistake.’
Rumi thought to herself.
When they continued onto the Northern side of Europe they became even more careful than before. As far as she knew Jaehwang and the other soldiers were still in Korea at the moment.
Then… She felt a hand on her shoulder.
She quickly turned around and saw that is was Jaehwang.
“Everything seems to be going great. Good job, Rumi.”
“No problem.”
Rumi replied with a slight nod.
‘Why does he seem a bit angry?’
She thought to herself.
Jaehwang looked to be feeling a little angry but trying his best to hide it. Rumi wondered what the reason for him being angry could be. Jaehwang didn’t really have much of a changing expression but Rumi always could tell how he was feeling.
Rumi then sat down exhausted and worried. She glanced over at Jaehwang who seemed to have been lost in thought. He wasn’t one to express his feelings.
‘I hope everything’s going well…’
She knew she didn’t have to worry about Jaehwang but she was still a little concerned.

-My raid teammates doesn’t seem to be feeling so good.
Jaehwang said. When Rumi went to sit something seemed a bit off. It was no secret that everyone was worried about how everything would turn out.
Rumi did make a mistake. But, all they could do was continue on and try their best. Hopefully everything would turn out how they planned.
-Maybe…
-This could be it. This could be the end of me. I can’t believe how nerve racking this is. This skill’s side effects could ruin everything.
Jaehwang said before the Spirit could finish speaking.
His newest skill seemed to be the best option but they were side effects to using it that he may not be able to endure.
-You’ll be fine.
The Spirit assured him.
-I hope so…
Jaehwang replied anxiously.
However, just then something flew past them.
-Guys! Get away from there! It’s too dangerous!
One of the team members said through the headset.
Fighting Alone? 3, The end.
