Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 135
# 135
135
Daesung frowned when he saw the coordinates stamped on the map.
Basically, coordinates are displayed with 4 to 5 large red dots, or up to 10, distributed per dimension.
If we were to compare it to the Korean Peninsula, it would be similar to several metropolitan cities being scattered randomly across the globe rather than being concentrated in one land.
However, the location of the ‘Hekar’ dimension that Daesung was currently looking at was clearly strange.
‘There are too many.’
There were a lot. So much so that more than half of the map is covered with red dots.
It is closer to population density rather than coordinates representing a region.
This means that half of the Earth has been assimilated into the Hekkar dimension.
‘That can’t be possible.’
Daesung shook his head, thinking it was a nonsense story.
According to the map, the area where Daeseong is currently gliding on his annihilator dragon belongs to Hekkar’s land.
But no matter how I looked at it, it didn’t seem like that.
‘I guess I’ll have to hit it myself.’
I didn’t think that the ‘insight plan’ provided false information. It must have some meaning.
Daesung drove the annihilating dragon and headed for the nearest red dot.
***
As expected, when I bumped into it, I immediately realized what it meant.
Following the coordinates, Daeseong arrived somewhere at the foot of a mountain with a rugged terrain.
There, a man of a different species, his entire body covered in strange tattoos, was sitting cross-legged on a large rock.
‘Hekar people.’
Except for the fact that his entire body was covered in tattoos, the man looked like an ordinary human being.
Nevertheless, the reason Daesung declared that the man was a different species was because he had the same aura as Ramish.
As we got closer, the man on the rock spoke first.
“You are not an ordinary human being.”
“Do you know me?”
“I can tell by looking at your eyes. These are eyes that have contained many lives. “Death stirs like water in a well.”
Only then did the man open his closed eyes and gaze intently at Daesung.
It was difficult to understand the man’s emotions as his entire whites were stained black.
The Hekar people are said to be going astray in the spiritual realm. Reading physiognomy would be no problem.
“There is no way someone like you would have run into me by chance while hiking for fun… You must have come to see me because you had some business to run.”
“I heard that the land where your people reside is here.”
“You mean where we are? Unfortunately, that place does not exist in the present world that you can see with your eyes.”
“What does that mean?”
“We have just been liberated from frozen time, but unfortunately we have lost our balance and are wandering. “We have to be cautious until we get it right.”
What does it mean to lose one’s balance and wander?
There was so much noise that his patience was at its limit, but for now, Daesung let go of his frustration.
I didn’t know what it was, but I guessed that that man might have the key to the true land of ‘Hekar’.
“That’s why we decided to go into hiding in the land beyond, the world of existence, and strengthen our strength for a while. “I and some Hekar tribe members disguise ourselves as humans and serve as ‘guides’ who act as a bridge between the world of existence and the real world.”
“Then tell me how to reach that realm.”
“There are two ways. The first is to commit suicide and become a spirit and walk the path to the world of the world…” “….”
“
The remaining one is to find the spirit that holds the ‘Gate to the World’ that I have hidden somewhere in these mountains. If you cut the back of the spirit creature, a door leading to where we are will appear.”
There is no need to talk about the first method, so in this case, the only option was to go through the spirit entity that held the door.
It seems that the countless red dots on the map did not represent Hekkar’s land, but instead indicated a ‘guide’ like the man in front of me.
“Tell me where you hid the spirit object.”
“That’s stupid. If I was going to answer obediently when asked to speak, I wouldn’t have hidden the spirit object in the first place. “If you want to know where he is, first solve all of the ‘five difficulties’ I present-.”
At this time, the man stopped what he was saying.
This is because Daesung grabbed the man’s neck with his thick hands.
The man on the rock began to show his embarrassment in a trembling voice.
“What are you doing?”
“If you had responded obediently when asked to speak, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Wow-!
He put all his strength into the hand holding the man’s neck as if he were crushing a walnut.
Knock! The man’s body went limp with a short groan.
If you want to know the location of the spirit, you have to overcome five challenges?
‘I don’t have time to sit idle.’
Daesung opened < Ghost Eyes >.
Purple eyes peered into the dead man’s head.
Is it because I am someone who explores the spiritual world? The images that played out in my head were extremely bizarre, like I was hallucinating after inhaling drugs.
Maybe that’s why looking into the memories made me feel nauseous and dizzy.
‘This is it.’
However, Daesung steadfastly endured his discomfort and found out the location of the spiritual object that the guy had hidden.
It’s a secret place that you might want to hide so much that you can’t find it even if you try to find it unless you know the exact location.
‘Inside the knothole of a tree buried deep in the ground.’
It was inevitable that I would have to dig.
Of course, I had no intention of doing it myself. I planned to call the command sergeant when I arrived at the spot where the tree was buried.
I think I walked for about 5 minutes.
Daeseong realized that there was no need to go through the trouble of summoning a command soldier.
< Recognizes the existence of an external dimension. >
< Warning. Do not interfere with mining operations. If you come closer than five paces, we will eliminate you. >
Bipedal beings wearing black-grey armor all over their bodies.
A flat, cold mechanical voice. A flashing red dot on a square face.
‘They are the Kishin tribe.’
They are called Gishinjok because all entities are composed of machines.
Although they are called machines, they are born differently from ‘machines’ who are completely dominated by humans.
At the point when they could think for themselves and have self-awareness, they were full-fledged ‘creatures’.
‘If it’s mining work…’
Daesung stroked his chin as he looked at the work they were doing.
Both animals had modified their hands like drills and were digging holes in the ground.
It is clear that they are trying to find the spirit entity that holds the ‘Gate of the World’.
< A tree was discovered buried in the ground. >
< This is a phenomenon that cannot occur through the natural providence of ‘Earth.’ >
The existence of spirits is still unknown, and the fact that a tree is buried underground is strange. It seemed like he felt it and took action.
‘Good.’
I was just beginning to feel aversion to digging.
It would be best to just let them continue doing what they were doing.
Doo doo doo!
The drill rotated violently and quickly dug into the ground.
Meanwhile, Daeseong did not move a single step as they warned.
It was not long before the tree buried in the ground revealed itself.
< I found it. As expected, the tree is here. >
< Someone buried it intentionally. Needs investigation. Perform scanning -. >
Boom!
A heavy punch smashed the head of the Gishin tribe who was talking about scanning.
The man fell silent as the complicated cross section of all kinds of parts were revealed.
No sooner had they finished digging than Daesung stepped forward.
< Removed. >
Slap!
One of the remaining Gishins was not embarrassed and transformed both of his hands, which were drills, into a ‘gun’-like form.
Of course, it’s not like Daesung is going to let it burn completely.
He threw the head of the Gishin tribe he had just smashed like a shot put.
The head flew off with a terrifying roar and hit the remaining Kishin tribe directly.
< Crackling-. Chick-. >
The guy spit out something unintelligible and then soon turned off the light and became silent as well.
Just as Daesung was shaking off the dust from his hands and was about to approach the tree buried in the ground.
[Orichalcon, a gemstone of the imaginary space ‘Orb’, has been discovered.]
[Orichalcon, which has passed the ‘discovery’ stage, moves to the ‘save’ stage.]
[Current Orichalcon possession: 250]
Dented iron plate As the remains of the Kishin tribe that had collapsed slowly disappeared, a message emerged.
Daesung blinked after reading the words.
‘I didn’t expect a harvest like this.’
Orihalcon can be obtained by killing the monsters that appear at the gate after defeating the Honse.
However, even though these Gishin tribes did not come out of the gate, they spit out orihalcon.
It seemed that if there was an entity that had orihalcon somewhere in the body, the system would absorb it regardless of whether the source was the Gate or not.
‘It is a resource that can be put to good use. ‘Not a bad harvest.’
There will come a time when it will be useful. clearly.
With that thought, Daesung threw himself towards a tree that had fallen on the ground.
As I dipped my arm into the knot hole, I felt the texture of a fluffy bundle of fur.
It must be a spiritual object.
Squeak!
When I took it out, the identity of the spirit object was a squirrel with golden-colored fur.
‘They said that if you cut this guy’s back, a door will appear.’
Youngmul looked up at Daeseong with moist eyes.
Kwazijic-!
Without hesitation, Daeseong ripped off the spirit beast’s back with his bare hands, like pulling feathers from a dead chicken.
Hahahaha!
Instead of blood and internal organs pouring out, a black whirlpool like an abyss began to oscillate across the cracked back section.
[The door to the world has been found. Would you like to enter? [Y/N]
Daesung nodded.
Soon his new brother disappeared.
***
Squeak-thud.
After being sucked into the squirrel’s skin, I came to my senses for a moment and realized that the wooden door was closing behind me.
‘Is this a bounded world?’
Daesung looked away from the wooden door and looked at the scenery unfolding in front of him.
Huge pieces of land were floating among the night landscape filled with bright red stars.
A hazy fog was fluttering around like a snake’s tail, but when I looked closely, I realized that it was not fog, but the Hekar tribe that had transformed into a spirit body.
Daesung also knew this well because he had collected life stones and become a spirit body.
‘That’s bizarre.’
It was ‘the underworld’ in the true sense of the word.
It is not a land of fire that is as chaotic as hell, but a landscape where dead souls are likely to gather, a landscape where the living should not set foot.
When he first saw the world hidden behind the present world, he felt a sense of wonder.
“You are not a spirit!”
But the sentiment did not last long. This is because a member of the Hekkar tribe approached with a roar upon seeing the great star in the physical world.
Without hesitating, Daesung stroked his chin and was lost in thought.
‘Do all of the Hekar tribe know how to reach the source?’
It seemed like there was a high possibility that wasn’t the case, but I decided to ask anyway.
At that moment, the Hekkar tribe that had just gotten angry stopped in front of Daeseong, snorting loudly.
Compared to the man on the rock, he was a Hekar tribe with a very rugged appearance.
“Something that is not even a spirit can enter the world as a living body! “What on earth are you?”
“I have the question.”
“What what?”
“Do you know how to reach the ‘source of dimension’?”
“Stop talking nonsense and get the hell out of here! Mercy comes only once!”
It is difficult to determine whether he does not know or whether he knows but is simply raising his voice.
What is certain is that it is difficult to get the answer you want from Lee Jae.
In that case, all you have to do is put aside the unnecessary nerves and find someone who will answer your questions in an obedient manner.
“You are the one who is going out.”
Daeseong stretched out his arm to smash the head of the Hekar tribe in front of him.
However, the arm passed through him as if it had touched smoke.
The Hekar tribe laughed as they realized what Daeseong was trying to do and failed.
“I’m sure you just said that mercy only comes once?”
The guy viciously grabbed Daesung’s head with both hands.
All ten fingers passed through the skin and dug deeper inside.
It goes beyond the skull and brain and captures Daesung’s soul itself.
“Do you know what happens when your soul crumbles into powder? Even after death, you will remain unconscious and wander in an endless world of nothingness!”
“This is what you will experience after you die.”
“under! Even if I tried to act calm and show off – ugh!”
Soon the guy got startled and took his hand off Daesung’s head.
This is the reaction of a person who accidentally puts his hand on a very hot grill.
[The demonic beasts of Pandemonium, connected to the consciousness of the Absolute, are angry.] [The
demonic beasts of Pandemonium are told not to touch the great being with dirty hands.]
Daeseong’s soul lies latent somewhere in the back of the universe. It is connected to the world of Pandemonium and the dead spirits that inhabit it.
It seemed that Pandemonium’s demons reacted violently when they sensed a problem with his soul.
Of course, the Hekar tribe in front of them who don’t know that will just be confused.
“You bastard! “What do you usually keep in your soul…!”
“I just had a question from earlier.”
Daesung opened Pandemonium and liberated the dead spirits.
The fallen souls pouring out their cries and began to eat the Hekar tribe.
“Ugh! “Kaaaaaa!!”
A painful scream echoed throughout the world.
The other Hekar spirits, who were not paying attention to this, could not help but react in shock.
“That guy, that one! They are not of the same race as us! “Not even the living ones!”
“A dead soul… That’s a dead soul! How did someone like that come into the world?”
“Intruders must be killed!”
The spirits came in a frenzy.
Daesung, noticing that attention was focused on this place, raised his voice and asked a question.
“Do any of you know how to reach the source?”
However, the wide-eyed spirits lightly crushed those words and stormed towards where Daesung was.
Daesung quietly rubbed his chin with a sad look on his face.
‘Dead spirits can attack the spirit body.’
This was proven through the corpses of the Hekar people, who had turned into rags before our eyes and left for the world of nothingness.
Whiiing!
A whirlpool of darkness swirled fiercely behind Daeseong.
Hyaaa!
And now, as many hordes of dead souls as the spirits pouring down from above, came out of the whirlpool.
A head-on confrontation between dead souls and spirits!
It will be interesting to see who will have the upper hand.
“I’ll have to hope that one of you can answer my question.”
