Chapter 248: Prepare for Dragon Raid – 2
#1
Kwon Je’s words were not kept as they landed. As soon as the doors were opened, thousands of people at the airport burst into cheers.
“Welcome.”
As soon as the charter came down, the US President, Bill Trump, welcomed Jaehwang with an awkward Korean accent.
The thick, elderly white man with greed-filled eyes, reached out to Jaehwang. Perhaps this time, he wanted to raise his approval ratings.
Bill Trump’s held out his hand... and Jaehwang looked at it for a while.
“Should we start slowly?” Goongi said internally.
“Okay, get ready”
Jaehwang conversed with Goongi, he then swept up his hair and grabbed Bill Trump’s hand with a fresh smile. “Thank you very much for your welcome.”
“Ohhh oh!!!”
The sound of camera shutters rang out as loud as the cheers of the journalists. This was the first time he appeared in public.
If one were to add the cameras of the stations, it seems that the number of journalists was almost up to 1,000.
Jaehwang played around with President Bill Trump’s friendliness as he clung beside him.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
The cameras continued to flash as they walked through the red carpet.
“Wow! That archer is so handsome!”
“You’re looking crazy good, throwing off that slimy armor!”
“Is that even a human?!”
“It’s a scoop. Scoop!”
As Jaehwang smiled and waved his hands towards the reporters, some female journalists fainted. For some reason, some male reporters had the same case.
Jaehwang headed to the press conference with President Bill Trump side by side. They were followed by their hunters as well as the American hunters who would participate in this union raid.

Kwon Je was sitting on the charter and looking out to the back of his grandson.
“Aren’t you sorry?” Dongcheol, standing stiffly and looking out with him, replied.
“What?”
“It could have been you there. You are strong. If it wasn’t for Jaehwang, you would be the world’s greatest.”
Kwon Je smirked lightly at Dongcheol’s remark. “It’s been a long time since I’ve thrown those thoughts into some monsters’ mouths.”
Kwon Je lived low not only for Korea but for the people under his care that he loved. He was a thunderbird in the past and was saved by being Jaehwang’s grandfather.
When they were running away from the monsters, he blocked the waves of the monsters alone and saved his life, he left a deep mark in Kwon Je’s heart. Since then, he has vowed to continue his legacy.
His grandson now stands in such a proud position — no, he is now also his own grandson.
“Aren’t you sorry?”
“Why would I be?”
“If the words Jaehwang told us would come true, the gates will disappear. Then, you would just be a powerful and grumpy old man.”
Jaehwang revealed the facts only to Kwon Je and Dongcheol as the one he trusts the most in this world and his only friend. With Jaehwang’s plan, many hunters would lose their jobs if the gates started to disappear. There would still be monsters on earth but that would just dry out in a few years and by that time, the hunter would probably be rejected by the people.
But Dongcheol laughed at the words of Kwon Je. “I’ll just have a farm.”
“Farm?”
“Yeah, and I’ll make it very big! Did you know why I was resting? I ran around sweating my soles on the land I bought in the north!”
“Huh.” Dongcheol’s ambitious plan surprised Kwon Je. “This can’t a plan that came from your head. Was it your wife’s?”
“Hehe, marriage is a good thing.”
Kwon Je gave an envious look to Dongcheol. He may have a casual relationship but he was still solo to this day. Thinking that this dumb guy had a wife but he didn’t angered him.
“You shit... let’s leave.”
“Huh?”
“Never mind.”
In the meantime, he upgraded his training plan for Dongcheol and turned his eyes out of the window.
“Whoever’s grandson that is, he’s awesome.”

“... I will take it a step further and do my duty as a protector not only in the United States but also in the world.”
“Woah... Woah...”
*shutter clicking*
After a short but intense press conference of Jaehwang, the reporters busied themselves by taking his photo.
Jaehwang used to keep absolute privacy from the outside press. Even if he had the title of the world’s strongest, he wasn’t appearing in the media and he didn’t exercise its influence.
Jaehwang, who threw off all of his drab armor and dressed in a luxurious suit was very photogenic. Bill Trump, who was standing next to him with a happy look, faded in the people’s minds.
President Bill Trump also opened his mouth to reporters as to compete with Jaehwang.
“I am in a glorious place today to commemorate the day when the United States became an eternal friend with the Master Archer. I promise you here that we, the United States, will always support the Archer and spare no support for his actions.”
At the end of his statement, the reporters began to murmur.
Bill Trump, the current president of the United States, was famous for his sudden tendencies. It was nicely said, but everyone seems to think that it was just done for the sake of showmanship, he’s an attention seeker. Everyone was actually expecting him to make a scene.
“So I want to announce my big decision here. If this Dragon Raid were to be successful, we will be giving Las Vegas to Jaehwang for 30 years.”
“!!!”
The reporters began to murmur once more. They expected something big, but they never thought that much. He meant the transfer of one country’s territory to another. What made it even crazier was that this territory was to be given to an individual.
“President! That means that it could seriously infringe on the private property rights of the citizens of the United States now! ”
“I believe that the United States and the Archer will have a real partnership, not a mere alliance.”
“Is it in agreement with the current state!”
“The state will also actively accept my opinion ...”
The reporters got up like a bee and shouted, but there were so many questions that they went off after a promise to release the news’ details. And there, Bill Trump just nodded his head with a satisfied expression.
The press conference ended with just a few more questions about President Bill Trump’s bombings.
It’s time to move for the Dragon Raid.
Jaehwang walked toward a waiting vehicle with President Bill Trump, who was surrounded by dozens of awakener bodyguards who were placed in preparation for terrorism.
After leaving the airport, tens of thousands of citizens were raving about Jaehwang and President Bill Trump.
In the meantime, those who lost their homes due to the dragon’s attack shouted eagerly for the emperor. Various placards began to stand out.
‘Please let us go home.’
‘I trust you.’
Some were seen kneeling and praying to their god.
When Jaehwang waved his hand, people shouted with enthusiasm.
“May God bless you, long live Trump! ”
With his name mixed in with the cheers, President Bill Trump busied himself by answering their calls and it was then, at that moment, when one of his bodyguards pointed his finger in the air.
“Mo-monster!”
“Monster!”
“Ohhhh!
“Dragon!”
Starting with him, everyone started to look up at the sky that was then filled with a shadow.
Some shouted dragons, but they were not dragons. They were similar to a dragon, but they much thinner than that. It was surrounded by blue scales, contrasting with the golden scales of gold dragons. The problem was that it was longer than a dragon.
It stalked down a wavy aura with its four wings in its snake-like fuselage. Each time it wanders in the air with its four arms, the sun was obscured and the clouds were washed away.
In its overwhelming appearance that seems to be over 500 meters long, people stared at the sky with their dreadful eyes without even running away.
“Grrrrrr ...”
It’s deep growl rang, and people started to faint.
“Uh ... uh.”
Bill Trump, who sat on the floor and wet his pants, was busy catching up with panic. It was the same with the awakeners. They were terrified with fear.
When everyone was silent in absolute fear, there was a young man who walked towards it with a casual look.
That was Jaehwang.
*steps*
Jaehwang, who stepped lightly onto a building, began to rise vertically at a tremendous speed. His hand, which jumped like a tread on a soaring building, carried his gear. The monster didn’t seem to be able to ignore Jaehwang too, it turned his huge head towards him and...
*Paaang!*
Jaehwang flew up while aiming at the monster and after a moment, his hand released an arrow
*Kwa Kwak !!! Cha Cha Cha Changggg!*
The shock waves began to burst, and all the glass around him was shattered in unison.
*Shhhhhhiinggg*
The arrow that left Jaehwang had already become something that could not be called an arrow.
It flew to the monster’s head at the speed of light.
“KRRRRRRRRR!”
The monster also began to gather a dense amount of blue mana in between its horns.
*WHOOOOOSH*
A blue sphere, squeezed between the two horns in the fiercely sucking wind, shot out towards Jaehwang’s arrow.
*Kwaaaaa*
The shock waves generated by the two explosions vibrated the heaven and the earth
Everyone was kneeling and staring at the battle of a giant monster boasting a giant shell comparable to a god with a human shell unfolding in the sky. There were now awakeners of levels six and seven, but they dared not take part in the battles of those gods. All they could do was wish that their god would win.
“Papang! Kwa kwa Kwak”
*HUGE EXPLOSION*
None of these people could see Jaehwang’s movement properly. Every time Jaehwang steps into the building, they can only see the afterglow that appears whitish. The shocking sound that bursts from his feet and the shock wave that blows each time it breaks through the speed of sound was a bonus.
Monsters that deals with human gods also began to prepare for big attacks. As its giant mouth begins to open, some blue marbles began to swing violently between its teeth.
Jaehwang also stopped in preparation for the attack and began to draw mana from the rain palace.
*fire spark*
Sparks bounced around his body. After a while, they all gathered at his finger.
*Quaa!*
At the same time, a breath of red from the mouth of the monster came out as a pillar of light shot out from Jaehwang’s body.
*BOOOOOM*
“Ahhhhh!”
“Ahh!”
A shockwave incomparable to the previous ones exploded out. Then...
*CHCHCHCHCH BOOOOM!!*
The pillar of light went through the monster’s attack before it struck its head.
“Kaah!”
The monster rocked all over with a painful scream, but the attack of Jaehwang was not over yet.
*CHRRRRRRRR*
The rain of arrows that started from the end of his bow began to ruthlessly beat the whole body of the monster.
“Kaak!”
Monster struggled in pain. The gusts caused by the giant fuselage made people’s hair flutter.
“Wow! Genius! Genius! ”
Those who were in panic now woke up and started cheering at their god. They shed tears and shouts like a fanatic to Jaehwang and...
“Kaah!”
When the heavy arrow of light hit the monster’s head once again, the monster popped out as it was.
*electric sound*
“He ... won.”
“The archer won.”
The monster’s body twisted through its head and became a blue cloud at one point before it slowly disappeared.
Starting with the head bursting out, the monster was scattered like a cloud of blue dust and after a while, the radiant sun appeared.
*stepping down*
Jaehwang, who had lightly descended to the ground, returned with a short deep breath and returned his bow and arrow into his infinity storage.
The people who waited on his return began to shout.
“Archer! Archer! Archer!! ”
“God!”
