Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 15

After completing the transformation, the hands of the Colossus were as blunt as hammers.
‘That’s probably his means of attack.’
While Daesung was thinking like that, the giant swung his fist… no, his mace.
widely-!
I was able to easily avoid it by just taking a few steps back.
thud!
When the mace hit the ground, a huge hole was dug.
A destructive force so great that dust rises and the earth shakes!
But it’s simple.
And above all, it is slow.
‘Thank goodness.’
When I confirmed the explanation that it was a mechanical life form, I was worried.
Maybe it’s just a living thing, but I’ve never dealt with a ‘machine’ before.
‘It’s an extremely primitive attack. There should be no problem with avoidance.’
The moment Daesung nodded.
Jiying –
The Colossus flashed his bead-like red eyes.
Boom boom!
The guy swung his mace indiscriminately, making a dull pounding sound.
Because the movement was slow, it was not difficult to see the movement.
At this level, even a well-trained ordinary person would be able to avoid it.
‘That’s a pain in the ass.’
Yes, it’s not difficult to avoid.
However, in a fight, the one who attacks is the winner.
Even if you continue to evade, there will only be a future in which your stamina will be exhausted and you will be defeated.
‘I actually don’t have the means to defeat him.’
He clicked his tongue as he skillfully avoided the colossus’ attack.
fault-!
To give himself time to think, Daesung widened his distance from the giant.
Once a kind of check-like structure is formed, the other side has no choice but to begin deliberation. Because there might be some ulterior motive.
However, the great merchant does not know that.
Thump thump thump!
The guy rushed to kill Daesung in a one-dimensional but extremely persistent manner.
In the brief moment when the distance between him and the giant was rapidly narrowing, Daesung clenched his fist.
‘After all, do we have no choice but to fight with our bare hands?’
I didn’t survive 80 years in hell solely by relying on weapons.
This fist has smashed countless demonic beasts and destroyed all the difficulties created by the system.
Wouldn’t that fist be able to destroy a stone statue like that?
“Blood naturalization – no, no.”
Just before activating Blood Naturalization, Daesung canceled the skill.
Certainly, a fist with the added power of blood demonization will become a weapon no less powerful than a sword or blunt weapon.
However, this skill had one fatal flaw.
That means the amount of magical power consumed is enormous.
This is not a fight that will drag on and continue to be so exhausting.
‘Each blow is powerful, but slow.’
The opponent is a simple guy whose movements are clearly visible.
Just because the means of attack is vague, it does not make sense to use skills that drastically reduce mana.
humming-!
‘Then…’
he thought, bending down to avoid the mace being swung horizontally.
A gust of wind swept Daesung’s bangs.
‘…Shall we give it a try?’
Not a skill.
The pure power of the body itself.
In other words, destroying that gigantic colossus with your bare hands.
Kwasik Kwasik-!
Every time the mace struck the ground, dust flew up and rained down.
It is such a powerful force that life and death cannot be guaranteed if even one hit is allowed!
Kiiiiing-!
Just as the giant was about to swing his mace diagonally, emitting an unpleasant mechanical sound.
‘now.’
Daesung found a short gap.
He dug into that tiny gap and arrived in front of the giant’s chest.
By the time he took his step, Daesung’s fist was already tightly clenched.
Hung-!
A one-punch packed with all the power to prevent an ‘even-in-a-possible’ situation.
Daesung’s fist stretched out like a storm and hit the giant’s chest.
bang-!
And then the colossus began to crumble and soon collapsed completely like a building that had lost its pillars.
One hit and instant death.
The colossus, which had lost its original form and was reduced to fragments, rolled around on the floor.
“One punch with one fist….”
Although there is a premise that you have to risk your life to get to close range, it is still not bad.
Daesung checked the status of the quest just in case.

“Huh?”
0/10?
I just defeated a colossus. What does this mean?
While Daesung frowns.
Woo-woo-woo-
woo- A vibration rang out.
Daesung turned his head and looked down at the floor, the epicenter.
A red bead shined brightly among the fragments.
Soon, a mechanical sound came out of the bead.
[Damage rate 100%. Executing self-repair.]
That was that moment.
Debris scattered on the floor suddenly floated upward.
The fragments quickly gathered together starting from the bead placed in the center.
short time.
Did it take 3 seconds?
[Restoration complete.]
The colossus has regained its original appearance.
Even parts that were clearly broken into pieces fell back into place like a puzzle.
Daesung was dumbfounded in front of the giant statue that was now healthy.
“That’s why it was like that.”
The system recognized that, strictly speaking, it had not been defeated.
[Analysis of attack pattern of removal target completed. The performance of this aircraft is upgraded to the next level.]
“…!”
Analysis complete. Upgrade to the next level.
When he heard those words, Daesung quickly stepped back.
However, that was a wrong decision.
Crash.
The Colossus’ hand was shaped like a mace.
Before I knew it, it had turned into a machine gun.
[We will respond from a distance from now on.]
Dudududududu!!
Bullets rained down.
Daesung rolled to the side.
Bullets fired at a rate of 50 per second ripped through the dirt.
As soon as the body rotates at 360 degrees and both arms touch the ground.
fault-!
Daeseong sprinted on all fours like a ground dog.
I didn’t even have time to straighten up.
Tudadadada-!!
Because a solid yellow line with the destructive power of death has drawn the ground.
‘It’s difficult.’
No matter how extraordinary the defense and resilience of Daesung, it would be fatal if he was still subjected to a barrage of machine guns that would turn the earth upside down.
Chop rock-!
Daeseong hid himself between nearby giant trees.
The bloody rain of bullets turned the wrong place into a beehive.
‘Hide and wait for an opportunity.’
Daeseong, who had dug into the thicket of leaves, glared at the giant.
As the target disappeared, the stone-covered face of the Colossus began to look around.
[You missed the removal target. Activates infrared mode.]
“Infrared?”
Jiying –
The giant statue’s blood-red eyes, which were already red, flashed even more fiercely.
[Object to be removed found.]
“…!”
The moment the Colossus’ eyes glared at the bushes.
Daesung once again had to roll hard to the side.
To-doo-doo-doo-!!
The plants and grass that formed the streamlined bushes disappeared without a trace.
‘You’re being troublesome.’
Daeseong, who was wandering between the giant trees, made a sharp turn.
The guy was chasing him with infrared light.
No matter how hard I tried to hide, it was no use and running was difficult because of the tree roots and rocks on the ground.
In the end, I had no choice but to escape towards the field where I faced the giant statue head on. At this time
,
the barrage that had been raging ceaselessly stopped for a moment.
“shit.”
Daesung did not miss the opportunity and decided to continue running when he had some free time.
The moment Daesung was about to take his steps.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
“…?”
The guy who thought he was going to fire again suddenly started making a siren-like sound.
The thin, sharp sound of the siren shook the entire forest.
Right then.
Boom boom!
Thump thump thump!
The sound of heavy footsteps coming from all directions.
‘I have a not very good feeling…’
At the same time Daesung swallows his saliva.
[Signal from TYPE-B1 detected.]
[Information sharing with TYPE-B1 completed.]
[From now on, all 10 aircraft will end their individual operations.]
[Approved.] [Approved
.]
[Approved.]
The uneasy premonition is wrong. didn’t
Other colossi appeared through the pitch black darkness beyond the grass.
The total number of newly appeared colossi is nine.
The guys gathered around Daesung and the guy who first confronted him.
This makes a total of ten.
It was probably a number that mobilized all the white colossi in the Forest of Predators.
An orderly formation was formed among them.
“….”
There is no chance of winning by attacking head-on.
Skills also depend on the skill.
What’s the use of all that if you don’t have any weapons to protect yourself?
To-doo-doo-doo-!
Merciless bullets struck Daeseong once again.
The firepower is ten times that of before.
Daesung entered the narrow forest path once more.
That was the best thing for now.
The road is rough and narrow, making it an unfavorable terrain for large giants.
However, compared to the ‘disadvantage’ he faced, the ‘disadvantage’ of the great merchant was nothing.
‘If I continue to drag on like this… I will end up dying.’
Daesung thought as he waded through the bushes at the same speed as the wind.
From behind, ten colossi were whining and chasing through the narrow streets.
‘You just said you’re ending individual movements. They’re moving as one body now.’
The proof is that even though the forest path is never straight, people are moving without dispersing.
‘Moving as one body means-’
Through the flowing hair.
Daesung’s eyes lit up.
‘That means there is a chance to kill them all at once.’
Daesung continued to run.
Sometimes I take a side path, sometimes I vaguely move forward.
But things never went as planned.
He was now heading towards a certain ‘target point’.
‘That will come out soon.’
Predator’s Forest is not a name for a specific area.
In fact, all the forests and mountains that existed in hell were ‘predator forests’.
When I was in hell, I had to go in and out hundreds of times.
At that point, it was quite obvious where something would pop out.
***
A moment later.
Daesung was up on a tree.
‘They just followed my tail.’
It’s a simple movement.
Judo was not difficult.
one more.
Even though they had machine guns, they didn’t fire.
As long as you maintain a certain distance, you will not pull the trigger.
30 seconds after Daesung climbed to the top of the giant tree.
Rustle, rustle –
Colossi broke through the bushes in the distance, revealing their ferocious giants.
[Remaining distance from the target to be eliminated is 100m.]
[Approaches within the range of the bullet.]
Boom boom boom.
The giants gradually approached this direction, but Daeseong no longer ran away.
[10m forward to range.]
“5m.”
Geosang began to measure the distance to Geosangdaero and Daeseong to Daeseongdaero.
At this point, his eyes were no longer looking at the colossus.
Daesung looked a little further ahead.
The dirt floor 5 meters away from the ten colossi.
“1m.”
thud!
[5m forward to range. [The entire aircraft was subjected to intensive saturation]
“It’s already too late, you bastards.”
pop-!
Suddenly, the dirt floor that the giants stepped on exploded like firecrackers.
The ‘swamp’ that was covered beyond was finally revealed.
The giants who stepped into range were sucked into the swamp without a move.
It wasn’t even an ordinary swamp.
‘Poisonous Lake.’
It is also called a forest mine.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary dirt floor, but it is actually camouflage.
The moment someone steps on the ground, the ground explodes, and the poisonous swamp hidden behind it sucks the target into the abyss.
Booby trap. A typical trap.
However, the smell of the swamp is so strong that if you are not careful, you can use your sense of smell to avoid it.
‘Of course, it would be a different story if it were a machine that couldn’t smell.’
Ten colossi, moving as one body, were all sucked into the swamp.
The acidic swamp corroded the outer shell of the colossi.
Daesung leisurely crossed his legs and watched the scene.
[Damage rate 0%… crackling – when self-repairing – crackling!]
[Damage rate 0%… when self-repairing – crackling!]
[…! crackling – crackling -]
Colossi It was falling apart and making a sound like a broken radio.
The poisonous swamp was devouring them much faster than the speed of recovery.
Let’s melt the core, which can be said to be the swamp’s main body.
[The Absolute One has met the clear conditions!]
[The quest has been completed and the materialization work is progressing!]
[Current materialization rate: 100% in the subspace pocket]
[The materialization work is complete!]
10 colossi crumble without a trace. The quest has ended.
Only then was Daesung able to sigh with relief.
“Whoa….”
He died and came back to life.
If I had not had knowledge of the forest, I would have been stuck in a hive.
The moment when Daesung, relaxed, leaned his back against the tall tree.
Suddenly a message appeared in the air.
[The demonic beasts of Pandemonium are greatly amazed by the Absolute’s resourcefulness!]
[The demonic beasts’ loyalty to the Absolute increases greatly!]
“Were you watching?”
An image of demonic beasts boiling over and cheering in the pandemonium came to mind.
Daesung scratched the back of his head.
He raised his middle finger toward the sky.
