《Return of the Legendary Hunter》Chapter 89: Smith (2)
Advertisement
Smith was shocked. He never imagined his lab would be infiltrated so easily. So many enemies came from the sky. He wasn't sure how the Chupacabras flew in when they didn't even have wings, but they broke through all defenses and broke in. The hunter teams were wiped out and his door was destroyed. He had hired more guards than usual since he wanted to show the Korean Avatar of what he was capable of, but it was no use. He thought hunters and the equipment were enough to defend themselves against Avatars, but they were utterly powerless against two Avatars.
Smith thought he would be safe even if they were going to kidnap him. However, the Avatars he met didn't even consider him as a human. That's when O'gun threw a spear through the door. Soon, a man and woman charged in, bursting through the door. And he was saved.
Smith sighed in relief and the man with a sword spoke.
"I am Ko Woojin."
"Let's introduce ourselves later. Shouldn't we run? I heard Bihyung is here."
These two looked like Avatars. It seemed like having Bihyung was going to ensure his safety.
"He's coming up. It's more dangerous to move around and get caught by the Chupacabras."
Smith looked at Woojin. There was some weight in his voice.
"Miho, can you look after him?"
"Yeah."
Woojin then walked out and Smith looked back. He knew how reckless it might be to fight two Avatars at once but he couldn't tell Miho to go help. His life was in danger for the first time.
Woojin became more relaxed now that he had saved Smith. O'gun and Dekaravia. O'gun wasn't easy as he controlled fire and iron. Dekaravia had power over birds. It was easy to see how he ordered the Chupacabras to fly into the building. Woojin reached out and Gáe Bulg returned to him. Letting Gáe Bulg out made his bones weak. He had metal-like muscles but he needed Gáe Bulg to withstand extreme damage.

Woojin then turned to them. O'gun made a shield and Dekaravia stood behind him to summon frigatebirds. Frigatebirds could fly at speeds of 400km per hour normally and these were summoned with spiritual power. Therefore, these birds probably had more power
O'gun charged. He made a sword in his hand and wielded fire over it. Woojin then charged against him as he got closer. He swung his sword and the sword crushed O'gun's fire sword. O'gun then created dagger on his left to swing it and Woojin grabbed it with his bare hand. O'gun tried to cut his fingers but the dagger didn't budge as if it was stuck.
"Huh?"
Woojin then realized that this wasn't a divine object. It was his power. If it was his power, it wasn't going to be difficult to deal with. O'gun summoned fire but Woojin struck O'gun's chin with his sword's hilt and took out Gáe Bulg to thrust it into O'gun's chest.
That's when a frigatebird flew toward his eyes and Woojin became distracted. O'gun then made a large explosion.
O'gun hopped back and Woojin cut the bird in half. It was so fast that it made his hand buzz. The half-sliced bird flew and stuck the wall. Woojin charged at O'gun as he had to capture Dekaravia alive so he had to kill him first. O'gun threw the fire-wielding spear and Woojin deflected it by covering himself with spiritual power. The cloak absorbed it and changed its shape. As Woojin got closer, another explosion was unleashed but Woojin was prepared this time. He kicked in. Thanks to the Phoenix Feather Shoes, the kick made a hole in the explosion and Woojin jumped in.
O'gun frowned and quickly created a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand. Woojin swung his sword while wielding spiritual power and O'gun tried to deflect it by using his shield.

However, Woojin's strength was too powerful and the shield was cut in half, along with O'gun's wrist.
O'gun jumped back and Woojin was overwhelmed by a large number of crows. He swung his sword to cut them down, but that wasn't enough. The number of crows was increasing and O'gun and Dekaravia moved back toward the window.
"We'll see each other again."
Dekaravia then jumped out and got up on his summoned albatross. The monster-sized albatross began to fly up and O'gun held his wrist while throwing flames at him. Woojin dodged and jumped out of the window.
O'gun scoffed but Woojin stepped in the air and followed them. His immediate speed was faster than the albatross'. O'gun fired an explosion to push the albatross further but Woojin dropped from above O'gun's head.
Woojin had jumped over the explosion by jumping up high with his shoes in the air. O'gun quickly formed the shield to defend against it but the shield was destroyed and made albatross fall down to the ground and it died. Woojin then kicked the air toward O'gun and dropped down.
He was going to kill all the Avatars that sided with Amon whenever he got a chance. O'gun gritted his teeth and started a fire in his right hand. The fire made by burning his own spiritual stone had power unlike before. Woojin then brought his left fist back. He couldn't use this against a foe that was using his own spiritual stone to fight back.
Woojin's fist grew larger and he threw it down. It was so powerful that it created a crater on the ground as they dropped. The shock even made destroyed part of the building. Woojin got up — he had used all of his spiritual power, but he still could move. It was probably due to Tsukuyomi's spiritual stone.
Woojin looked down at O'gun, who was dead with all of his bones shattered. Dekaravia was already running away.
"You can't just flee."
He had to capture Dekaravia. Woojin pulled out Gáe Bulg and threw it with all of his might. He had trained hard to make it hit its target. Gáe Bulg fired like lightning and Dekaravia summoned more crows. But crows weren't enough and Gáe Bulg burst through. And when it got to Dekaravia, he reached out with his hand and a transparent gem appeared, spreading the light like a shield.
It destroyed the shield and stopped Gáe Bulg. Woojin was too far away to move it with his will so all he could do was bring it back.
"I will get you next time."
Woojin then called Gáe Bulg back and sat down to recover his spiritual power. Bihyung then came over.
"Is this O'gun?"
"You know him?"
"I heard he's a strong one from Africa. But he's dead."
Woojin then said, "I hope he knows something at least."
"About what?"
"About Amon."

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

She Who Reigns the Stars [Vol. 1]
*Remastered version of She Who Reigns the Stars* Tell me, what will become of us? Presenting your Goddess… Asteria, Supreme Deity of Stalera, the nation of the Universe. She who rules the stars with steel eyes and an iron will, the glorious, the beautiful, the adored Goddess, has now fallen under the hands of her nemesis… The Archfiend, Emperor of Talonis, the nation of Vice and its Shadows, has now assumed reign over Stalera after the death of the Goddess. With the power of Vice, its Shadows, and the Universe, it is assumed that he would be satisfied now that Stalera was under his mercy, and the other two nations of Yelerna and Antalis would follow suit. But much to our surprise, he isn’t because he still lacks the… Ruby, The Goddess’ last attempt to save her empire and the entirety of the Universe. Before her death, the Goddess sealed a portion of her blood, which contained the remaining powers of the Universe the Archfiend hadn’t obtained, away from his grasp. She entrusted it to one of her Zodiac Warriors, a member of her elite service known as the Zodiac Warrior Circle, and instructed him to hide the precious jewel on Earth. The restoration of Stalera and the defeat of the Archfiend would lie in the hands of whoever inherited the ruby jewel. Those who inherited the ruby were known as the Goddess’ Successor, and the one next in line to inherit it is… Auriella Corentin. Life was never the same for Auriella the night her Grandmama gave her the ruby jewel and died, thrusting the poor girl into a world of magic. Now in possession of the Goddess’ blood, it wouldn’t be long until the Archfiend found her, killed her, and obtained her ruby inheritance. But Auriella never wanted this responsibility, not when she had her own past and inner demons to battle against. Nevertheless, she finds herself seeking an alliance with the Zodiac Warriors and a strange barista as she learns to wield the powers the Goddess bestowed to her. But as frequent demon attacks, a secret admirer (or stalker), strange notes, and a handsome, amber-eyed boy pile onto her plate, it is no longer clear whether the universe needed Auriella to be their savior or to be the Goddess’ (inferior) replacement. A Goddess in need of redemption. Four Nations at the brink of destruction. Our question still remains unanswered… What will become of us? [Updates Monday, Wednesday, Friday @8pm PST]
