章節 137: Chapter 131- I am back
Jin-Woo told Haru about every major incident that occurred in the past few months.
Despite Haru's efforts in demolishing the initial wave of dungeon dwellers and preventing massive destruction on Earth, a significant number of monsters remained, posing an ongoing threat to the planet.
Once Jin-Woo awakened from his slumber, his consciousness merged with all the memories and powers of Ashborn. Naturally, Jin-Woo utilized his newfound abilities to protect Earth from the dungeon dwellers, ensuring the safety of the planet.
The dramatic entrance of Jin-Woo's shadow army captured the attention of numerous news channels and prominent figures across the globe, sparking a wave of suspicion and intrigue.
Regardless, Jin-Woo didn't pay attention to them and continued his work as a hunter. His omnipresence helped him to keep an eye on the whole planet at once and deploy his soldiers accordingly.
Someone named Norma Selner came to meet him on the recommendation of the American Hunter Bureau to upgrade Jin-Woo—only to leave Korea in haste once she gazed at the abyss Jin-Woo hid behind his human facade.
Out of the eight monarchs, only two Monarchs—Antares and Yogumunt were alive. All the others were slain by Haru before he fell into a coma.
....or what Haru believed,
"They can be resurrected?"
Haru couldn't help raising his brows in astonishment at hearing Jin-Woo's statement.
The Monarchs were destroyed by Haru's own hands so there was no debating whether they could be alive or not. They were dead the last time Haru saw them—except for the two.
"Ashborn, the previous Shadow Monarch told me that the Rulers can manipulate souls, as such there is a possibility that when you destroyed the monarch's vessels, they might have extracted their souls and transferred them to another vessel from a different timeline?"
Haru was now even more intrigued to know how such a phenomenon was made possible by those winged creatures when all they could do, from what he remembered, was to swing their stick around and boast of their origin.
Regardless, "Can you handle them, Sunbae?"
Haru asked. If he wants he can find and destroy every single Monarch and Ruler of this world and provide the serenity which this world was devoid of.
However, "I want to kill them with my own hands, Haru."
Seeing those violet orbs shining with a faint blood lust, Haru understood what sentiment the Shadow Monarch carried as such he didn't insist.
However, there was something Haru wanted to do in this case, "Sunbae...in the final battle, let me handle the traitor Rulers."
Although Haru didn't show any visible sign of anger Jin-Woo could feel that the boy was excessively agitated right now.
"It was partly because of them that Jinah and I were separated for so long...and now, they will pay for this sin with their lives."
Jin-Woo didn't have any complaints regarding that, so he readily nodded.
The atmosphere cooled down a bit after that, as Haru and Jin-Woo decided to head back in...only for both of them to halt in their tracks.
"...if I am not wrong then it's her right?"(Haru)
Jin-Woo's eyes a little widened as he realized his mistake.
Before coming here, he just left a note for Cha Hae-In that Haru was awake now. Since Cha Hae-In was asleep he didn't wake her up to inform her...but he didn't expect her to arrive in Japan so soon.
Both of them turned to look far away from the house from where a streak of golden hue was trailing in their way at a pace that was impossible to track with human eyes.
"Something....is coming..." Jinah also appeared on the balcony—seemingly having sensed the aggravated presence of a strong hunter heading toward this place.
"It's Hunter Cha, don't worry." Haru coiled his arm around her waist and assured her.
Jin-Woo retained his gaze on the front as a sigh leaked from his lips,
'This...surely not going to end well....'
A moment or two later, a blond woman with attractive features appeared before them. The only difference Haru could perceive from her was her hair which had grown by a few inches and also that, she had become stronger than before.
A lot, to be honest.
The first ones on whom her eyes lay were Haru and Jinah before she turned her slightly stern gaze toward Jin-Woo,
"Wh-why...didn't you wake me up?"
"I thought you were tired last night so I left you to rest for a bit and got here..."
Haru blinked and blinked. Although his enhanced senses received a similar scent from both Jin-Woo and Hae-In—more like they had used the same body wash, hearing their exchange made him sure about something.
"When did this happen?" Haru whispered to Jinah while the other two bickered back and forth.
"A few months ago...I am still surprised that my Oppa pulled such a beauty." Jinah replied with a sly grin, making Haru chuckle.
"I can hear you, you know..." With a wry smile, Jin-Woo turned to look at his sister.
Cha Hae-In somehow calmed down, as she received Jin-Woo's handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
" So Miss Hae-In...did you run all the way from Korea to here? " Haru asked—once he ensured that the couple was done with their banter.
"Uh...no. Just from the airport."
Haru knew it wouldn't have been possible for Hae-In to swim all the way to Japan unless she had her own Wyvern in possession.
"You could have taken your time, Unnie. Haru wouldn't go anywhere now, you know." Jinah added.
"I know...but still, I wanted to assure myself that Hunter Nanase has really woken up. "
It was no wonder she was so stressed about him. Given what circumstances Haru fell in the last battle, a part of Cha Hae-In must have blamed herself for not being able to help him.
However, Haru never even once blamed Cha Hae-In or anyone else. The thing he did back then couldn't have been done by anyone else and if he had been given another chance, he still would have chosen to do the same thing.
Smiling at the blond Hunter warmly, Haru informed her, "As you can see, I am back."
Cha Hae-In warmly smiled at that, as she replied, "Welcome back, Hunter Nanase."
