Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 125

# 125

125

The pain that Geunwon was feeling was felt by Daesung as well.

The sharp sting of a knife penetrates my entire body. It wasn’t at the level of being stabbed, but it definitely felt like it was cutting through the skin and into the bone.

Daeseong gritted his teeth and held on, but the source was different. She seemed to be not used to pain, and alternately screamed and moaned.

“What’s going on?”

< Ah, the limit... It's the limit now. >

“Are you giving me one more fragment?”

< No, that has nothing to do with it... I won't lose. Actually, I was caught off guard earlier, but it looks like the barrier was completely pierced when I handed you the fragment. >

“If it’s a barrier…”

< All space and time in the dimensional tree will now be assimilated into this land. >

Daesung can’t believe his ears . did.

‘All’ space and time. Doesn’t this mean that it’s not coming down one or two at a time like it is now, but pouring out in a pile?

However, despite his surprise, Daesung saw this as an opportunity.

“As soon as I get out, I can go find a land with a strong source.”

< ...I was planning on asking you to do that, but since you said it first, it feels weird because it sounds like my illness was just an opportunity. Is it okay for me to laugh here? >

“You can take care of that. Anyway, it looks quite difficult. Are you okay?”

It must literally feel like a sharp tree branch is piercing through your whole body without mercy.

If he were human, he would have died instantly.

< I, the source, do not die easily. You will feel endless pain to the point where you think it would be better to die... >

“….”

< If you continue to stay here, even you will be broken. I’ll let you out quickly. >

In the middle of the vast sea of darkness, a spiral whirlwind appeared, sprinkling bright white light.

Daesung glanced sideways for a moment at the hazy Antarctic land beyond the whirlwind, then turned his head again and said.

“I still have more questions I want to ask, but I’ll put it off until next time.”

< I also wanted to talk more with you, but it turned out to be a shame. >

“I do as you say. “I will collect the fragments, collect the holy relics… I will return all of this to the way it was.”

< I believe it. You can do it. You have overcome hell worse than this. >

“…Yes.”

Even without trying to move, the body automatically got closer to the source vortex.

As if Geunwon was gently pushing him on his back, telling him to go quickly.

< Let’s meet again sometime soon. >

Before he could even reply to that farewell, Daesung’s feet were already stepping on the white Antarctic ground.

Whiiing-!

The cold wind scratched his hair, which was glistening with sweat. Daesung picked up Hekar Vision, who had returned to an ordinary wooden doll.

Passu-.

The vision crumbled to dust and was blown away by the wind. He looked up at the sky, following the dust flying far away.

thud-. thud-.

Damn it -.

The sky was shattering as if someone was breaking the glass screen with a hammer outside.

If you look closely, you can see that the branches of the Dimensional Tree that stay beyond the atmosphere are constantly poking the sky with their sharp tips.

‘There are about two days left.’

Could this be due to the influence of what was in the arms of the source?

The specific time that there were ‘two days’ left until the sky opened up appeared in my mind like information I already knew.

What should I do for the remaining two days? Where should I start from? It was a time when Daesung was trying to organize his future plans.

-Mr. Daesung! Mr. Daesung! Can you hear me?! Totally screwed up… Oh no, I’m in big trouble!

Suddenly, Shin Cho-young sent a message in an urgent voice.

There will be no choice but to be urgent. Unless you have a vision problem, how can you remain calm when looking at the cracks that are forming in the sky right now?

However, the part that Shin Cho-young said was in big trouble was not a crack in the sky.

-They say a gate has opened in Korea! Oh, I’m going crazy! Especially at times like this!

***

Not only did the Earth suddenly overlap with the ecosystem of another world, but even the gate exploded.

To add insult to injury is something to be said for times like this.

Kk-! Kkkkkkk-!

Grrrr-!

In front of Gwanghwamun Station.

A group of fierce dogs walking on two feet attacked pedestrians on the side of the road, swinging clubs at random.

Kobold.

It is a level 4 monster, and in the case of a single entity, there is nothing that a strong adult male cannot defeat if he fights to the death…

“Why is there no end to these?!”

“Do not come! “Don’t come!”

“Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!!

The screams of hunters dispatched to the scene and civilians caught in the lightning mingled.

No matter how many professional hunters teamed up to push, there was nothing they could do about the amount of kobolds pouring out of the gate.

Like this, they band together into a group the size of a goblin or larger and make up for the difference in power.

puck-! puck-!

A blunt iron ax carved out of rock killed hunters and passers-by at Gwanghwamun Station.

Lee Kang-hyeon, the leader of a small to medium-sized clan in charge of Jongno-gu, was on the verge of giving up.

‘Fuck, just now some fish heads and orcs came out!’

Already when the Kaelin tribe invaded Earth, the Association issued an emergency order throughout the city, county, and district, and clans and hunters stationed in the jurisdiction established a front line.

However, the current situation did not end with the Kaelins, and at some point, the Orcs began to appear, and now, due to Gate Fracture, even the Kobolds are appearing.

‘Should the remaining members be summoned back to Gwanghwamun Station?’

Given the scale of the situation, Lee Kang-hyun divided the clan members into six groups and dispersed them throughout Sejong-ro.

Because of this, the remaining personnel at Gwanghwamun Station were insufficient to stop the flood of kobolds.

A member of the group ran next to Lee Kang-hyeon, who was struggling and sweating profusely, and shouted.

“Captain! If we continue like this, we will all die! Wouldn’t it be better to tell the remaining members to gather in front of the station?!”

“shit! Wouldn’t it be better that way?”

A makeshift shelter was formed inside the terminal where they had erected an impromptu camp in front of the stairs and blocked it.

In the event of a sudden fracture like now, refugees who cannot afford to go to a shelter hide themselves in a shelter provided in a nearby station as a temporary measure.

In other words, the moment Lee Kang-hyeon and others are pushed away by a swarm of kobolds, a bloody wind blows inside the terminal.

Moreover, because today was the day of the Gwanghwamun rally, nearly 500 civilians were crowded into the narrow evacuation area of the terminal.

“Damn you kobolds! “Even if you’re unlucky, there’s nothing like this!”

In the end, Lee Kang-hyun gritted his teeth so hard that his molars were about to be crushed and took out the radio.

And the moment I was about to yell at the six groups to gather at Gwanghwamun Station immediately.

Puzzle-! Rumbling!

Gaekgaeng-! Wow-!

A storm of electricity came from somewhere and exploded in the middle of the kobold camp that was rushing towards the camp.

“…what what?”

Even as Lee Kang-hyun and his members mumbled with dumbfounded faces, the lightning continued to sweep through the group of kobolds.

The group of kobolds were also startled and terrified as thunder suddenly struck from somewhere.

“They only have so many people, but they are no bigger than a puppy! Gentlemen! “Don’t rest and keep pushing!”

“Glory to the Empire!”

Thunderous shouts violently shook the dawn of Sejongno.

Lee Kang-hyeon moved his eyes in the diagonal direction where the lightning struck.

There were large soldiers armed with medieval leather armor and iron helmets, each wielding a spear sword in their hand.

The weapon only split the empty space, not the point where the kobold was, but…

Puzzling-!

For some reason, with just that, a bolt of lightning spewed out from the tip of the blade and exploded over the group of kobolds like a guided missile.

“Not much time left! “Hold on just a little longer, guys!”

The person who took the lead and gave orders to the great army was a young man with brilliant blonde hair and a refreshing look.

Even though he didn’t have a loudspeaker, strangely enough, the blond man’s shouts echoed loudly and reverberated throughout the place.

“It’s all, Captain. “What is that?”

“…Are they hunters?”

“no. I don’t think they are hunters… but it worked out anyway! “Let’s join in too!”

No matter their identity, they are all allies in the face of a common enemy.

However, despite the member’s remark to join in, the medieval-style armies destroyed the group of kobolds in the blink of an eye.

Chi-ik-.

The charred corpses of a group of dead kobolds formed a garden in front of Gwanghwamun Station.

It was literally like a tidal wave washing over a sandy beach.

“Are you in charge here?”

– Crash. A blond man stood in front of Lee Kang-hyeon, making the sound of armor clashing.

gulp. Lee Kang-hyun, facing the man, swallowed his saliva with a nervous look on his face.

‘No matter how you look at it, he’s still a human…’

Aside from the medieval-style armor and the magical inaction he had just seen, the blond man’s demeanor was completely human.

“Can’t you hear me? “I asked him if he was in charge here.”

“…yes? Uh oh! is it so!”

“Oh, as expected. Nice to meet you.”

The blond man smiled and extended his hand toward Lee Kang-hyun to shake his hand.

Lee Kang-hyun shook his head and awkwardly held his hand.

“My name is Einfrit, the first knight commander of the sole empire of the central continent of Plomaria. “Please feel free to call me Ain.”

“Flo… what?”

“If you don’t mind, could you tell me your name and position?”

“Uh… I’m Lee Kang-hyeon, the clan hunter in charge of Sejong-ro here…”

“Lee Kang…? It’s hard to pronounce. I’ll just call you ‘Lee’ for convenience haha.”

The question “What are you people, why do you insist on wearing clothes and speaking like this in the 21st century?” rose up all the way to Mokuldae, but Lee Kang-hyeon held back.

This is because I could feel the strong grip in Einfried’s hands.

Even if it wasn’t for that reason, he was already being crushed by the power of Einfried, who was sweeping away kobolds like dust.

‘It looks like they are from another world.’

Since I said something about Flo earlier, it was self-explanatory.

Fortunately, the fierce electric shock was not aimed at humans.

“‘this’. You must have been quite surprised by our intrusion. “I would like to explain our situation in detail, but… it would be better to talk about it in person with the king of this continent.”

“What do you want to say?”

“Please guide me and my army to where you are the king of this continent.”

“King of the continent…?”

If the continent he is talking about refers to the Republic of Korea, then the person who is closest to the king here is –

“Are you saying you want to meet the President?”

“president? Ah, here, the person sitting on the throne is not called king, but president? Then please quickly guide me to where he is. There is no time.”

Since the country is in such trouble, the President must be in the underground bunker of the Blue House by now.

And Sejong-ro, where Lee Kang-hyeon is in charge, happens to be where the Blue House was built.

“But the President is in a shelter right now, so he’s a little…”

“Don’t worry. Our knights have eliminated all monsters within 500 sectors from here. The village and the kingdom will be safe.”

“No, but this is a bit…”

Of course, just because the streets are safe, a single hunter cannot just recklessly take people from outside to where the head of state is.

However, this alien young man in front of me seemed to have no consideration or knowledge of such realistic conditions.

“‘Lee’ quickly.”

“…Then I will just give you guidance. “After that, just take care of it.”

However, Lee Kang-hyeon was afraid of what would happen if he refused outright.

***

Lee Kang-hyeon guided Einfried and his corps to the front gate of the Blue House, which was lined with iron bars, and then quickly left.

As a large-scale emergency has occurred, naturally, the fully armed 101st Security Group and dozens of jeeps are waiting at the main gate.

Einfried walked up to Superintendent Kang Seok-jun, who had four Rose of Sharon flowers on his chest, and said this out loud.

“Ah, the king of this world! No. Did I mention that the king here is called president? Anyway, I came to meet the president.”

“….”

Kang Seok-jun couldn’t figure out which rhythm he should be embarrassed about.

Not to mention those energetic words… The sight of that armored army lined up behind Einfried sent a chill running down the back of my head.

Kang Seok-jun asked, showing a hostile look in his eyes.

“Who are they?”

“haha. Isn’t your expression too grim? I am-.”

Einfried introduced himself exactly the same as he did to Lee Kang-hyeon.

Seokjun Kang’s answer was short.

“I can’t let you meet the president. “Please step aside.”

“Eh? No? “Why?”

“I’m so dumbfounded…”

Kang Seok-jun thought quietly, almost inaudibly, but Einfried heard him clearly.

Einfried’s sad eyes smiled at his sarcastic attitude.

Kang Seok-jun also did not lose and spoke again, glaring at the spear knife in their hands.

“Please step back.”

“What should I do? I think that would be a bit difficult. “What if you don’t like it?”

“We are in wartime right now. There are only three warnings.”

-Slap!

The muzzles of the guards and special forces scattered everywhere let out short cries.

“Get back now. “If you don’t comply this time, we will fire immediately.”

“Is it okay to do this to the warriors who saved your world? “That’s rude.”

Puzzle-! bang-!

A vertical yellow flash burned a jeep like a rag.

“For your information, in our Plomaria, there is only one warning.”

This is a signal that all room for dialogue has disappeared. As soon as Kang Seok-jun took a step back, the muzzle of the gun spouted fire.

To-doo-doo-doo-!

The target of the barrage of fire was only Einfried.

However, the expressions on the faces of the guards and soldiers, who were shaking their shoulders and pulling the trigger, began to turn increasingly dark.

“It makes a lot of noise, but its substance is worse than Mana Arrow. “Are you really still calling yourself the Royal Knights?”

Passu-.

A haze was swirling in front of Einfrit, who was sighing in exasperation.

The bullets that touched the haze melted away like mosquitoes caught in a lamp.

Too doo doo! Tou doo doo doo…. tick tick-.

While Kang Seok-jun and his men were speechless at the absurd sight, their magazines quickly ran out.

Of course, Einfried did not give them time to reload.

“We have been ordered by His Majesty to keep our hands off those who are hostile. So please understand.”

Pajijik-!!

The lightning that was directed at kobolds 30 minutes ago was now directed at humans.

What is the meaning of guns and jeeps in the face of blazing lightning?

After a while.

In front of the main gate of the Blue House, remains so black that they were unrecognizable were rolling around carelessly.

“I hope that the president will be more flexible than you.”

Einfried and his soldiers stepped over the corpse and headed toward the main building.

***

As soon as he heard Shin Cho-young’s report that the gate had exploded, Daesung quickly returned to Korea.

The streets were quiet. Before we knew it, everyone had fled to shelters.

‘The hunters didn’t do it.’

Daesung looked at the kobold corpses scattered near Gwanghwamun.

Every one of them, without exception, had been struck by something like an electric shock and had a tanned appearance.

It was a scene that hunters who mainly use bullets or cutting weapons could not produce.

‘It was done by Flormaria or something.’

The system’s description said they were a fighting race that used swords and magic.

Considering the fact that they used that trait to sweep away the kobolds and the fact that the city is quiet…

‘Aren’t they hostile from the beginning like the Kaelins or the Orcs?’

That time when I was crossing the asphalt road with that question in mind.

< Those who declared that they had come to meet the President are just crossing the main gate of the Blue House! At the front gate... huh? omg! This can be broadcasted... >

A large electronic display board hanging at Sejong-ro Department Store. Beyond the screen there, a broadcasting station helicopter was broadcasting live footage of the Blue House.

When the female field correspondent saw the human corpses lying in front of the front door, she screamed and swallowed her breath. The cameraman must have been embarrassed, too, as the angle shook distractingly.

‘There’s no way it wouldn’t be hostile.’

It worked out better.

Even if they came out friendly, Daeseong was planning to kick them out of Earth anyway.

Daesung stopped in place for a moment, folded his arms and watched the news on the electronic display board.

Shake! Shake!

< Oh! What are you doing?! >

< Oh no! Don't come! You can’t do this! >

The screams of the correspondent and cameraman continued once more.

However, because the camera screen was fixed to the ground, it was impossible to see what was happening to that helicopter.

Soon the angle was corrected, and a blond man with a refreshing look filled the screen.

< Oh! Is this a magic tool that sends messages to people in this world? Let me borrow it for a moment! >

< Oh no! Give it away! This is a broadcast camera...! >

< Hello. Dear citizens of this world, I am- >

Einfried, a blonde man, continued his long-winded self-introduction.

After completing the introduction, he began by looking directly at the screen.

< I declare that your world will henceforth belong to the sovereignty of our sole empire on the Plomaria continent! Let us all live in peace under the protection of the great King. > After that, an incomprehensible speech followed

.

Daesung grinned and muttered as if he had just witnessed a child’s entertainment party.

“That’s a cute chick.”
