Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 152

# 152

152

Rune Quiella did not have the title ‘goddess’ for nothing.

She fought really well, living up to her nickname ‘God’.

[Aaaah!]

So much so that in real time, she was covered in flames all over her body and stretched out in sweat like sparks.

Hwareuk-!

Of the thirty flames that rose in the air, fifteen were finally extinguished.

The minimum passing standard for the ordeal mentioned by Giriak was met.

[More gasp… Surely there aren’t any more left? How long will we have to fight… gasp….]

Daesung passed by, ignoring her panting breath as she sat on the floor.

As soon as the fifteenth flame went out, I noticed a crystal ball shining on the ground.

‘They said that if you finish the wave trial, it will give you the strength to prepare for the next trial.’

It is a gift to the warrior who has passed the first ordeal and is given a weapon that will enable him to withstand the next tsunami ordeal.

The crystal ball that Daesung bent down to pick up was exactly like that.

‘Bansor has infinite resistance to fire, Royman has clairvoyance that allows him to see long distances, Yud has the ability to handle ice storms, and Makleon has indomitable strength that never tires.’

The strong men who held hegemony in all directions also possessed rare abilities that other Titans did not have.

It’s all thanks to this crystal ball.

In other words, this crystal ball can be viewed as a ‘Skill Ball’ that gives you strength when you eat it.

‘First, later.’

However, Daesung had no intention of eating the crystal ball and gaining skills right away.

The reason is simple. Because the body that is currently in control is not the original body.

Clumsy!

Daeseong tore the rotten flesh of his chest to the left and right, then placed a crystal ball inside it and stored it.

‘First of all, the passing criteria were met.’

Currently, a large X was engraved on the back of Daesung’s hand.

You can get out of the ordeal at any time by rubbing this goppyo.

‘But there are still fifteen more sparks left.’

In other words, the passing standard was passed, but the ordeal of the wave itself was not over yet.

At the end of a difficult ordeal, a valuable reward always awaits.

So… if you pass the remaining 15 waves, wouldn’t you be given something greater than the crystal ball you got now?

‘No one from all directions could reach the 30th wave. Even Giriak, the deputy.’

The highest record of the Trial of the Waves is 28, set by Giriak.

Neither he nor any other Titan in Atlas knows what awaits him at the end of the ordeal.

‘I will go to the end.’

Daesung took his gaze away from the red light shining on the back of his hand.

When it comes to insurance, there are many.

If you are in a crisis, you can just rub the goppyo and get out.

Also, in fact, thanks to Rune Quiella fighting on his behalf so far, Daeseong is in perfect condition, no different from when he just entered the ordeal.

Of course, I wanted to have Rune Quiella fight proxy wars for the remaining episodes, but looking at her condition, that seemed like a long shot.

‘I need more and more powerful power….’

Sigh-!!

The King of All Diseases transformed into a long spear that scatters blue beams of light and death.

‘It has to end here.’

bang-!

And Daeseong vigorously tapped the end of the spear on the ground.

It is a declaration to keep moving forward.

Hwareuk-!

The 16th flame went out.

And from a crack in the air, a three-headed fierce dog jumped out, baring its fangs.

“Grrr-.”

Cerberus.

The appearance of the guy known as the gatekeeper of hell looked quite familiar to Daesung, who had just returned from hell.

However, unlike normal entities, the one here now is also large enough to be compared to a Titan.

“I will kill you. pup.”

This time, instead of waiting, Daeseong took the first step and rushed in.

The ugly bars shot forward, emitting a terrible light.

In a true sense, Daesung’s real ordeal began now.

***

It has been a long time since the Titan named Ray entered the trials.

On average, the time it took for powerful players from all directions to pass the wave trial was about three hours.

However, even after more than six hours, Ray showed no sign of coming out of the mural.

“That bastard must have already collapsed in there.”

Royman grumbled, touching his still numb eyes.

Jude and Makleon were also secretly agreeing with Royman’s argument, even if they didn’t show it.

The fact that Ray did not appear even after more than twice the average time had passed was only a hint that Ray had already met his death in that mural.

“If he had died in the ordeal, blood would have been flowing out of the mural by now.”

At this time, Giriak, who was proudly guarding the front of the altar, said so.

As the deputy’s deep voice rang out in the castle, the attention of other powerful people instantly gathered together.

“But the fact that the mural is still clean is proof that he’s not dead.”

“So that means you’re struggling inside, waiting to die. under! “Please don’t die and come out alive.”

Royman sarcastically said.

In fact, he was secretly hoping that Ray wouldn’t die inside. Because he wanted to kill Ray with his own hands.

“No matter how much there are individual differences, it is not normal for it to take half a day to endure 15 rounds. However, seeing as the mural is not shedding bloody tears, that guy named Ray must still be alive and undergoing the ordeal,”

Giriak added, looking at the mural subtly bathed in scarlet light flowing from the candlelight.

“Then we can assume one case.”

“What case?”

“This is a case where the passing standard has already been exceeded, but the ordeal continues without stopping.”

There was silence for a moment inside the castle.

It was Pishik who broke the silence! Royman burst out laughing.

Macleon opened his mouth, his red eyes shining brightly behind his mask.

“You’re overdoing it. From the sixteenth time onwards, the difficulty level will increase rapidly. “Yud, how many times did you go?”

“Twenty times.”

For reference, Yud, who ruled the north, was a warrior said to be the bravest among the strong in the four directions.

So much so that Giriarch, Hecatonkale’s representative, seriously considered whether to appoint him as his successor.

However, even such a Yud did not exceed the 20th Demon.

Royman, who was listening to the conversation between the two, inadvertently stuck his tongue out.

“I just stopped there as soon as I met the passing criteria. “Just getting to 15 was going to be so hard, I couldn’t bring myself to keep doing it.”

Even the strong men on every side of the Atlas, who reign with majesty and fear, shake their heads when they think of that time.

Therefore, Ray’s behavior as he continued to wander through trials without being satisfied could not help but seem foolish.

To be honest, I felt like I should have given up and left without any regrets, rather than wasting time.

Royman glared at the mural with wide, fierce eyes and said.

“I’m doing that because I picked up the saying that if you finish 30th, you will be given ‘absolute power.’ He said he was blind. “You stupid bastard.”

“Absolute power… Isn’t it possible that such a thing may or may not exist? “As I was on the verge of death for the twentieth time, this thought suddenly occurred to me.”

If you pass the fifteenth, you can gain extremely rare and unique powers that other Titans do not have.

With this power alone, the powerful in all directions gained a prestige that other Titans could never match even after eons.

That’s why everyone was surprised to hear that an unknown Titan had defeated Bansor.

The reward given in the middle of the 30th is that much, but how much is the 30th reward?

No, there may be no compensation at all. Because no one saw or got it.

However, Giriak said this in a low voice at that point.

“The thirtieth reward definitely exists. “I guarantee it.”

Powerful men everywhere fell silent.

I didn’t intend to inquire, but he subtly gave me a look that seemed to say, ‘How do you know that?’

Giriak, who was not unaware of the feeling that gaze gave off, raised his hand and pointed to his left eye.

“It is a trial designed by the Great God of Chaos himself and only completed through the sacrifice of my eyes.”

“….”

“Trials and I are spiritually connected. So you can be sure. The 30th reward clearly exists. “It’s just that no one has been able to achieve it so far.”

When the deputy said so directly, the powerful people in all directions simultaneously raised their eyes of suspicion.

At that point, the conversation stopped and silence came again, with only the faint sound of candles fluttering.

How much time has passed like that?

Hwareuk-.

“…!”

Suddenly, the mural on the altar began to darken.

As if the paper was burning, the red circle quickly expanded in size and engulfed Hecatoncale’s portrait.

“What the hell!”

Royman, who was startled, opened his wide single eye as wide as it could go.

Yud and Makleon also swallowed their saliva and watched in fascination the mural being engulfed in fire.

Yud came to his senses and took a step toward Giriak.

“Representative, what is this….”

“….”

“Representative?”

When there was no answer, Yud tilted his head and glanced at Giriak’s side face.

And then I took a deep breath.

“No way…”

Giriak’s shoulders were trembling. Fragments of words that couldn’t form sentences flowed out between my teeth.

It was my first time seeing it.

Giriak, who was solemn and unfazed in any situation, was now twitching his whole body as if he had been shocked by electricity.

Is the burning of a mural so shocking that it elicits such a strong reaction?

Jude couldn’t help but ask.

“The rice mural is burning. Shouldn’t we put out the fire quickly? Or does it have some specific meaning?”

“no. Leave it alone! Back off! “There’s no way the mural is burning.”

But Giriak could not finish speaking.

There was no need to continue further explanation of the abnormal phenomenon.

Pot-!

“…!”

An enormous radiance reminiscent of the birth of the universe began to flow from the mural immersed in flames.

My eyes became hot as if I was facing the sun right in front of me.

Not only the strong men in all directions, but Giriak also hurriedly covered his sight with his hands and backed away from the brilliance.

and.

“Ah… ah….”

Giriak looked through the fingers blocking his vision.

The sight of a giant’s quivering silhouette revealing itself through the intense and eerie radiance.

The figure of a ‘warrior’ walking indifferently, wading through the flames of the mural and removing the blackness that covered the castle.

“iced coffee…!”

Giriak sighed deeply.

It felt like my heart was broken, it was difficult to breathe, and I was shaking so much that my hair stood on end.

He faced Gwanghwi directly, not paying attention to the heatwave that felt like it was drying out his eyeballs.

It was Daesung who appeared, breaking through the light and tearing down the burning mural.

Only then.

Giriak was entranced and struggled to speak.

“That means the thirtieth wall of the ordeal has been broken down… “It is a sign of the end.”

Everyone was speechless.

Even Royman, who had been harboring murderous intentions and pledging revenge, opened his mouth foolishly.

To say that the record was broken would be too weak. History was made. The wall that even Deputy Giriak could not overcome collapsed. It was the moment when a new phrase was added to the Annals of Atlas.

And this was the impression of Daeseong, the man at the center of all these miracles.

“I don’t know what kind of idiot designed it, but it’s really dirty.”

The fire that was encroaching on the mural stopped expanding and the light faded. However, the aftereffects lingered like a lingering scent, lighting up the castle in white.

Daesung’s body was completely ruined. The right arm was completely torn off, and there were three or four holes in the upper body as if it had been hit by a cannon. The temple was torn off by what looked like fangs, and the flesh was shaking in tatters.

However, Daesung only exhaled rapidly as if he had just finished a bit of strenuous exercise and did not react further.

As if they don’t know pain.

As if I wasn’t afraid of death.

Giriak covered his face with his hands.

He seemed to be thinking about something for a long time.

It seemed like he was constantly worrying about whether what he was going to say from now on would be the right answer.

However, Giriak seemed to have made up his mind and slowly opened his eyes while looking into Daesung’s eyes.

“The ordeal is over.”

“okay. Was the next tsunami ordeal? “Let’s get started quickly.”

“No. I mean ‘all’ ordeals are over.”

At that moment, the powerful from all directions opened their eyes wide and looked back at Giriak.

My young eyes are filled with wonder.

They paid attention to Giriak’s lips as he spoke the next words.

Soon Giriak spoke of the decision he had just made.

“The ascendant who will sacrifice his soul to ‘Titanomachia’ is you, Ray.”
