Chapter 211: Baekren’s Emergency 3
#1
Jaehwang ran and began his attack despite him still suffering in his wounds from Baekren’s sword.
Thankfully the wounds were already almost all healed and he was getting ready for a counterattack.
— Do we have something that’s stronger than that?
The spirit asked and Jaehwang smiled. He had something in mind, although it was something that he really needed to consider.
“I think after this I’ll be able to go up a rank,” Jaehwang said.
— Really?
“Yes.”
His experience had increased by a considerable amount after the fight that he had earlier. The faster he could finish a monster in a raid, the faster it would increase.
And now, all he had to do was finish his fight with Baekren to officially attain a higher rank.
“Spirit!”
— What is it?
“Could you help me out by improving the impact of my arrows?”
— Are you sure that won’t be too much?
The spirit asked. They had to be careful of using both of their skills at the same time since she wasn’t sure if Jaehwang could handle it. She was much stronger now compared to before so their attack might be more powerful than what he had assumed.
“It’s fine, everything will go just as planned.”
— I guess so.
The spirit replied and turned to Baekren.
“We can do this,” Jaehwang said.

Jjjiiijj... Jiiijjji
The sunlight beamed onto him.
“How much longer will this go on?” Baekren complained as he was doing his best to defend himself from an opponent too powerful for them to defeat. The fight continued on and on, it felt like forever.
“The scent of the world burning. Haven’t smelled that in a while.” He closed his eyes as he stood in the heat of the sunlight. His sword was still in his hand as he blocked Jaehwang’s arrows at the same time. It was amazing.
Baekren then spoke with a bitter tone.
— Hey?
— What is it?
The spirit in his head replied.
— We can’t be off our guard for even a second.
Baekren said and the spirit just smiled, he had something in mind that could help them.
— Do you have an idea in mind?
The spirit asked. Baekren was still looking up into the sky, he had something in mind but he wasn’t sure if they were ready to do that kind of attack. They didn’t have many options to choose from but both of them knew that they were fighting battle they would surely lose. They had no time to lose and both of them knew that they had to do something.
It felt like they were climbing a towering mountain and they’re stuck on choosing a single road among the others to lead themselves to victory. He was willing to try it despite its risks.
— I have no doubt about this...
— Are you sure? I’m not even sure if this is a good idea. I don’t think you’re ready for it.
The spirit said. Baekren then stopped for a moment to think. It was true that it was an attack that could leave him powerless for a moment and that wouldn’t be safe during a fight.
— You don’t want to help me?
— That’s not it. We should just be careful and really think this through. We can’t deal with anything going wrong anymore...
— Hhhmmm.
The spirit mumbled. Baekren and the spirit had traveled and gotten into countless battles for years so neither of them was unaware of what could be off-limits or too dangerous.
— I just don’t know...
— Alright. We have to defeat him.
Baekren decided to go through with the attack. They had no time to waste and they had to do what they could do to destroy Jaehwang no matter what it takes.
Jaehwang was starting his counter attack and Baekren’s spirit didn’t seem to be too worried about it.
He then opened his eyes.
“W-What’s that?”
— Look out!
His counter-attack was more powerful than they expected and it was as if a missile was shot towards them. They soon realized that it was a giant cannonball and there were about 50 of them raining down from the skies.
“Run!” Baekren quickly ran away to find a safe place to hide from it.
Kwang kwang kwang kwanggg!!
The cannonballs had caused multiple explosions and each of them shook the ground as they landed.
— What’s going on?!
— It’s his counter attack. We have to do something...
Baekren’s spirit suggested.
Kwang kwang kwanggg!!
Shortly after that, even more attacks came for them. Due to the fact that he didn’t have any type of shield or armor, the explosions caused a few burns on his skin. His spirit was able to heal them quickly since they had to do something before it was too late.
“Get the sword!” The spirit shouted.
Swoosh...
A blue light surrounded the sword as he picked it up, it then traveled to his head until it covered his entire body.
— Look out!
The spirit warned him as an attack came their way.
“Again?!”
More cannonballs flew into the sky.
— Huh?
When he turned away to escape that attack, he saw something. The metallic ball that was coming down towards the ground was completely different from all the others that had reached them.
He then took out his sword and flew up into the sky.
Kwang kwang kwanggg!!!
“Watch out!”
The rain of cannons then fell to the ground mercilessly and summoned a carpet of explosions once again.

“Cough... Cough...”
Jaehwang was able to heal himself while his attack kept the enemy from interrupting him. All of the smoke and the explosions from the cannons were affecting him as well.
— Are you okay?
“Good enough,” he replied. “It’s time for an arrow shower.”
He pulled out a handful of arrows and nocked them in his bow. He was now ready to put an end to this fight.
Baekren’s Emergency 3, The end.
