《Return of the Legendary Hunter》Chapter 129: New monster (2)
Advertisement
Old Hwang who was in Shanghai looked the same. He was waiting for Woojin at a restaurant, enjoying his meal.
"Take a seat."
Woojin sat down and Old Hwang picked a piece of meat with his fork and said, "I heard Amon died."
"Oh, so you've heard."
"Amon's dead, all the vampires are gone, and I heard you fought with Loki and the Frost Giants too."
"Do you have a spy on my team?"
"Of course not. You got a hell of a team there."
Woojin smiled.
"Well, you seem to know everything."
Old Hwang wiped his mouth with a napkin and asked, "Is it really possible to become an Avatar?"
Old Hwang asked with a curious expression and Woojin hesitated to answer for a bit.
"How much do you know about this?"
"I heard thousands of refugees in the Central African Republic died recently."
If he knew about that, then he had definitely heard about the Avatar Project.
"Ra from Egypt has cleaned up the mess. And to answer your question, it is possible to become an Avatar, but there is a low success rate."
"I see. So it is possible."
It seemed like it was enough for Old Hwang to know that it was possible.
"By the way, I have a request."
"Sure. Let's talk business then."
"Can you tell me about any sightings of newfound monsters or a mass of missing people?"
"Hmm?"
Old Hwang poured liquor into his cup and drank. He then looked back at Woojin.
"I'm not supposed to be curious about work, but this one really makes me curious. Can you tell me why?"
Woojin might have answered that it was expensive as a joke, but this issue was not so simple. It seemed like it might be better to ask for actual help.
"We missed a dangerous enemy. If he regains his power, he will need to eat all living things in his path. He can also create monsters, so hence the request. I'll pay the top price as I mentioned."
"Dangerous? How dangerous is he?"
"If we don't get to him quick, the world will come to an end."
Old Hwang burst into laughter, but he saw that Woojin was serious and stopped. Old Hwang had seen what Woojin had done since the beginning. He wiped out vampires and fought many powerful Avatars while fighting against Amon. There were many who were known for their strength. And that Woojin was now talking about the end of the world. It wasn't a joke.

"Hmph. So, it is not a joke then."
"I wouldn't joke about such a thing."
"Can we narrow the possible range of finding him?"
"We missed him south of Jeju, so we will need to watch on Korea, Japan, China, and Russia. But he doesn't seem to have spiritual power, so we can't track him down."
"Thus we need to find what he might have done?"
"Yes, but it won't be easy."
Old Hwang grinned, "I'll see what I can do. Will you return now?"
"No. I'll go see Mr. Sun while I'm here."
"I see. Then I'll look into it and get back to you."
When Woojin got up, Old Hwang asked suddenly, "Do you have something that I might want?"
"No. But can you get me a divine object? Any of them."
"Divine object? As a weapon?"
"Yes, a ranged one if possible. It would be better if it has elemental damage."
"That will drive up the cost."
"It's okay."
"I'll look into it."
Woojin then got out and took a jet to meet with Sun Wukong. He figured he needed to prepare something as a gift and retraced his memory. It seemed like a recipe for his smoking pipe was still the best gift for him and Woojin remembered a recipe that Sun Wukong tried once just before the last battle. It was made with dragon scale powder, hydra intestines, and a valuable herb. Woojin paid Old Hwang to get it prepared when he left the plane. He got what he requested and got a car to go over to Sun Wukong's house.
Once he got there, he was greeted by Nam, Sun Wukong's butler. As he rode together with him to Sun Wukong's large home, Woojin glanced at Nam. He was a butler, but he was a powerful Avatar himself. Nam realized that Woojin was looking at him and smiled.
"I heard you are having a difficult time."
"Yeah. It's not going too well."
"It will be alright."
"I hope so too."
They arrived at the mansion and Woojin followed Nam to Sun Wukong's room. He was sitting down with a pipe in his mouth.
"You're here."
"I had to visit China, so I thought I would visit you too, sir."
"Isn't Shanghai a bit far from here?"

"How did you know that I was in Shanghai?"
Sun Wukong showed his palm and said, "I used to run away as hard as I could, but I was still under Buddha's palm."
Woojin then realized again how powerful Sun Wukong was.
"So, Meterul? You got where he went off to?"
"No. We still don't have any leads."
"If you find him in China, I'll give you a hand."
"Thank you."
Sun Wukong then tapped his pipe to put out the dust and Woojin took out the extract balls that he had made on the way. Sun Wukong looked interested.
"A new recipe?"
"I am not sure if it will be good enough for you."
"Give it to me. I'll know once I try it."
Woojin gave the ball to Nam and Nam brought it up to Sun Wukong. He placed in his pipe and fired it up before he took a deep drag. After puffing out a long smoke, Sun Wukong burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! This is crazy."
Woojin didn't know if Sun Wukong liked the recipe or not because he had seen Sun Wukong only try it out once, but it looked like he enjoyed it.
"This is good. Are you giving me the recipe?"
"Of course."
Sun Wukong then smiled.
"How can you make such things when you don't even smoke?"
"I was taught by a good teacher."
"I want to meet him one day."
"He is no longer with us."
Sun Wukong then nodded and asked, "Are there any more recipes you know of?"
"Those two are all I was taught."
"I see. It's good that I have one more thing to enjoy in my life. But I will need to pay you back for such a good gift."
"Meaning?"
"Do you want anything from me?"
Woojin looked at Sun Wukong for a second and answered, "Can you help me when I'm really in need of assistance? It was dangerous when I fought against Meterul because I was weak."
"I heard that spiritual power doesn't work on him? Only physical damage works?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then I can help."
Sun Wukong then puffed on his pipe and continued, "But before we do that, how about you show me your powers?"
"Does that mean you want to spar?"
"Yes. I'll be out shortly after this pipe. Nam, go with him to the training ground."
Woojin went out the back of the building and there was a large training ground. As Woojin stood there, Nam spoke to him.
"I guess he considers you highly. He doesn't do this often."
Woojin agreed. As he was checking his weapons, Sun Wukong came out slowly. He then stood on the opposite side of the training ground.
"Show me your best. That way I can see how powerful Meterul was."
"Will it be okay?"
"Hahahaha. Go ahead."
Woojin had never fought Sun Wukong head to head. He sent spiritual power into his Glove of Ban Gu and his fist grew larger.
"That is an interesting skill."
Woojin didn't answer, but he charged to throw his fist. Sun Wukong blocked it with one hand, but he was taken back two steps. It was just two steps. Woojin realized the difference in power. He pulled back his fist and threw it again, but Sun Wukong was on top of his fist already.
"What are you going to do with such a slow fist?"
Woojin then increased his spiritual power to show his best. The Cloak of Vampire Bat then changed its shape over his body and Woojin jumped up. He threw his fist at Sun Wukong as if he was going to destroy him. The pressure made from the fist in the air was enough to decimate the ground, but Sun Wukong smiled. He picked his ear, took something out and blew on it.
"Grow."
The staff, Ruyi Bang, enlarged itself Sun Wukong's hand and he slashed upwards. He charged into Woojin and as Ruyi Bang was pointed toward Woojin's chest, he pulled out Gáe Bulg from his chest to attack. Sun Wukong deflected it with his Ruyi Bang and swept past Woojin. He was much faster than Woojin who was now faster than 1st generation vampires. And as Woojin twisted to throw his fist, Sun Wukong had already unleashed five strikes. Woojin dodged once, but the other four strikes hit him. He stumbled back while feeling the pain in his body. Sun Wukong jumped back and said, "You are too slow."
Woojin then returned his fist to normal size. Using too much spiritual power made Tsukuyomi's spirtual stone melt again. Woojin readied his stance once more and took out the bamboo spear. It seemed like it might be good to learn a thing or two about using long weapons from Sun Wukong.
"Let's do it again."

Musings of a Hypocrite
Mortals are weird. They insisted in unity, as well as individualism. More often than not, they're shocked at truth and honesty, but not at falsehood and deceit. They asked questions with multiple answers, and provided answers that begged other questions. They made things to break, they destroyed things to study, they researched things to recreate. Humans, Elves, Beastmen. All of them. Within these contradictions, a miracle might manifest. But this tended to work with a trial and error methodology. Most mortals never got the happy ending. This diary is my journey alongside a few students of mine. In simple terms - they learn, they grow, they fight. They'll journey through centuries of conflict, from the physical to the educational. They'll experience the cruelty and benelovence of all living-kind. They'll experience the consequences of their choices and the blessings of their rewards. They will grow to become useful to me, or die trying like all the others. As for you? The god reading our lives like a book, sitting in your chair without a care in the world? I will show you, the farce that is known as 'God'.

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
