Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 165

165

Boom! thud-!

“Hi…”

Every time the ground shook violently, people shrugged and shrugged their shoulders.

Everyone’s face was pale, and some of them were covering their ears and shaking as if they were having a seizure.

“Brother tongue…”

“Don’t be too scared. “We’ll be able to get out of here in a little while.”

“Ugh…”

One brother, who was so thin that his skin and bones were almost pale, sobbed while holding each other’s hands.

The brothers weren’t the only ones crying. The brothers were not the only ones who looked haggard after starving for several days.

Everyone here was like that.

“I don’t want to do this anymore… Please let me out… Please let me out…”

“Is there a doctor here?! W My grandfather here is in a strange condition!”

“Aaaahhh-!”

“Keep the kid quiet! “I know someone doesn’t want to cry!”

It was a hellish sight.

The entire place was immersed in black darkness, and it was cramped and had a musty smell.

The groans of people in despair continued, and some of those who were weak had already starved to death.

This is the Atlas POW camp.

Among them, it was a special area where only ‘humans’ were captured and confined.

thud-!

“Hee hee hee…!”

“Shhh! Quiet! “If you make a fuss, you’ll be beaten to death in front of everyone like that guy last time!”

As the ground shook again, people were horrified and quickly covered the woman’s mouth as she tried to scream.

The identity of the ground shaking just now was the footsteps of Titan, the guard in charge of this prisoner of war camp.

People had already learned without having to be told that the Jailer Titan hated noisy humans the most.

The man who screamed at them to please get them out of here, the old man who tried to negotiate calmly by saying that he would do his best to fight back…

They were all brutally beaten to death in front of the other prisoners.

“Is there anyone who is a doctor? “There are so many people, there’s no way there’s not even one person…!”

“Someone make that woman shut up. “Before something loud happens.”

An old man who had not been able to eat or drink for several days was lying face down with his eyes closed.

Only the very slight rise and fall of the chest was evidence that the old man still had life.

At that time, a woman who appeared to be the old man’s granddaughter came to the doctor desperately, holding his hand.

This place, with almost no food or water, was like a death row for the weak and elderly.

In fact, no one other than the person involved will know whether there is a professional doctor there or not.

No, the presence or absence of a doctor was of no concern to the majority.

Thump thump thump!

I just hope that the woman will keep her mouth shut as the guard’s footsteps are getting louder.

“We will all look for the doctor together later, so I think it would be best to be quiet for now…” “

…!”

The woman, with her bloodshot and bloodshot eyes wide open, glared fiercely at the man who had given her the advice.

I was told to be quiet while my family was dying in front of my eyes, so I had no choice but to react that way.

But soon.

“Huh huh…!”

The woman covered her mouth. My fingernails dug into my skin. The tears flowing from my eyes were intertwined with the blood flowing down my cheeks.

You have to endure it. At least for now, we shouldn’t make a fuss.

Because the man’s words to be quiet weren’t entirely wrong.

If he continues to cry, scream, and get caught by the guards, not only he and his grandfather, but in the worst case scenario, other people may suffer as well.

I have to endure it for now.

Now-

“I see a sick chicken.”

My heart was pounding. At the same time, the iron bars of the camp shook.

People looked at the guard Titan standing behind the iron bars with pale complexions.

“That’s strange. Was the meal unpleasant? “I thought you would share a piece of rotten human flesh between you.”

The Jailer Titan grinned, baring his teeth.

Then people felt an intense disgust, as if they had seen a maggot.

“Anyway, it’s a pain in the ass.”

Sze-.

The Jailer Titan’s eyes moved in the direction of the old man and the woman.

At that moment, the woman took a deep breath and her pupils shook uneasily.

“If you leave this one dying, it will affect everything else. “Because the plague is contagious.”

“My grandfather didn’t get the plague or something, he just lost his strength…!”

bang-!

When the guard struck the iron bars once, a loud noise resounded as if dynamite had exploded.

People who didn’t even have the strength to stand on their own two legs rolled around on the floor.

The woman twitched as she hugged the grandfather tightly, fearing that he might get hurt.

The guard’s harsh voice sounded in the frightened woman’s ears.

“How dare a species as low as an insect criticize the words of a great Titan?”

The guard’s finger, thicker than a log, squeezed through the gap between the iron bars and pointed at the woman and the old man.

“decision. You and the sick chicken lying around there, come out right away. “I will kill you by boiling you alive in boiling water.”

“…!”

The woman’s head turned when she heard the death sentence.

My vision turned black and no thoughts came to my mind.

The lips moved without will and spoke.

“Haha, no, Grandpa. Just me… please….”

“I don’t understand. “Was my words too difficult for a lower race?”

The guard opened the door to the camp and strode inside.

Because the people panicked and retreated, the guard was able to reach the woman in an instant.

Sreuk….

A giant’s shadow fell over the body of a woman embracing her grandfather.

“Before boiling it to death, I think we should cut off its limbs first. “Make sure even the bones are cooked well!”

The moment the guard lowered his waist and began to extend his huge magical beast.

The woman closed her eyes tightly and hugged the old man tighter.

You’re dying.

That was the moment I thought about it.

“….”

Even as time passed, the moment I had prepared for never came.

The puzzled woman raised her head from her bowed position and looked in the direction where the guard was.

“Huh huh…”

That moan was not a single word.

It was flowing from the jailer’s mouth.

Passu-.

The jailer looked in horror at his hands, which had turned into ashes and were scattering.

“Why am I like this-.”

And soon.

Pasyuk-.

The guard’s entire body disappeared like dust before he could finish speaking.

Not only the woman, but also all those trapped inside the camp were confused and couldn’t figure out what was going on.

The shock didn’t stop there.

Passu-.

This time, the camp space itself disappears, breaking into small pieces like a guard who has just disappeared.

Hwiiing-.

A warm breeze blew gently into this place where not a single ray of sunlight came.

“Oh uh…”

“Outside the bar…?”

Light hit the people and clean air flowed into their nasal passages.

Yes.

People were no longer confined to dark, damp camps.

outside.

This place was definitely ‘outside’, full of light and sunlight.

“How did this happen?”

Meanwhile, the woman, like everyone else, reacted in confusion.

The old man, who had been unconscious until now, gently touched his granddaughter’s hand.

The woman felt the texture of wrinkles and looked back at the old man’s face.

“Ha grandpa?!”

“Hey hey… hey…”

“Grandpa! grandfather! “Are you out of your mind?!”

The old man nodded his head weakly and asked.

“Did someone drive out all the goblins while this little girl was closing her eyes for a moment…?”

“…yes!”

The woman who answered vigorously squeezed the old man’s hand and sobbed.

“I guess we’re alive…!”

***

“Deputy Adjutant….”

“Yes…?”

“I’m sure I’m not looking at something in vain right now…?”

“…I don’t think so.”

The front yard of the fairy kingdom in Rome was filled with a bloody smell.

Because war was unfolding.

A great war between elves and dragons.

Of course, it was a fight where one side was at a very one-sided disadvantage. Needless to say, the inferior side is the elf camp.

About 80% of the corpses rolling around the battlefield were elves who had died horribly.

When the dragons, determined to destroy the elves’ seed, stormed into the kingdom, Fairy Queen Nevia kicked down her throne, strapped on her sword, and went into battle.

I know it’s a fight I can’t win. It was very clear that today was the final day when the fairy kingdom would fall and the elves would perish.

However, even if the elves are defeated, they do not give in. The queen and her soldiers fought against the dragons until the end with the will to die.

however.

Passu-.

It was clear that the dragons were pushing in at a fierce pace just a few seconds ago.

Isn’t it turning into ashes and disappearing?

“What are the elves suddenly doing…!”

“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…!”

The dragons who were disappearing from head to toe lamented deeply.

However, this was an unexpected incident that even the elves were not aware of.

Nebia, who was looking at the ashes scattered across the battlefield like fallen leaves in the wind, asked the adjutant standing next to her.

“Is our camp okay?”

“I think so. The only ones disappearing are the dragons….”

“It’s a miracle, as if I’m dreaming…”

The soldiers who survived from death were also embarrassed, but they also embraced each other, filled with relief that they had survived.

Suddenly, Nevia had a premonition, so she quietly closed her eyes and perked up her ears. Soon, a blue air current gently wrapped around her body.

After a while.

Nevia, who had stretched her unrivaled spirit to its limits, spoke of a fact she had just realized.

“…Fafnir is dead.”

“yes?”

Nevia’s sense of spirit has never gone astray in 10,000 years.

Therefore, everything she says is the truth and there can be no room for doubt.

However, the adjutant, who could not believe it at all, asked in surprise.

“Far Fafnir is dead? Are you saying that the vicious ancient dragon was killed by someone?”

“…Do you remember the prophecy made by the High Priest a thousand years ago, Lieutenant?”

“Are you talking about the prophecy that a hero would appear and kill Fafnir? “It was a false prophecy that no one believed because he was a man who was mentally unstable in his later years.”

The adjutant who had said that far narrowed his eyes when he realized what Nevia wanted to say.

“Queen, no way. “Do you believe that absurd prophecy?”

“It’s a false prophecy… no.”

Sarah-.

A piece of ash landed gently on the queen’s wide open palm.

The queen clenched her fists and looked up at the cold blue sky and said.

“…For now, let’s just hope that what the high priest said is right.”

***

[You have defeated the ‘Ancient Dragon Fafnir’!]

[You have obtained a pure lifestone to feed to the ‘Life Devourer’!] A

system message announcing the end of the fight quietly appeared.

But now Daesung did not have time to check the words written in the message.

dump!

As soon as Fafnir’s new form disappeared, he collapsed on the floor.

‘If the fight had lasted just a little longer, we would have been in big trouble.’

As Daesung thought that, thick blood flowed from his nose.

I was exhausted like someone who had run a marathon. I didn’t have any energy at all.

‘As expected, implementing Mephisto… was a big burden for me as well.’

The demon god who had ruled hell was summoned to a human body.

When the super-large gate appeared, it consumed much more magical power than when it summoned an army of heavenly beasts across the entire Earth.

< The demonic beasts of Pandemonium offer tribute to the Absolute! >

< The demonic beasts of Pandemonium offer tribute to the Absolute! >

< The demonic beasts of Pandemonium offer tribute to the Absolute! >

The demonic beasts hurriedly offer up their magic power. dedicated to

However, this is no different from filling an empty ocean with just one basin.

“Stop because it’s no use. “I’m already so tired that I’m going to die, so don’t go crazy.”

To fully recharge your magic power, the only way to do so is to fall asleep like the dead and get enough rest.

I was so tired physically and mentally that I couldn’t even lift a finger, but I had to take care of everything I needed to.

“….”

Daesung stared in silence at the red heart that had fallen in front of him.

Exciting! Exciting!

Surprisingly, the heart was pulsating vigorously, with colorful blood vessels protruding.

‘Heart of the ancient dragon.’

It was the only thing that Fafnir, who had just died, left behind in the world.

Did Mephisto say that it would bring the miracle of ‘immortality’?

As soon as I had that thought, the system retrieved information about my heart.

[Item Information]

Name: Ancient Dragon’s Heart

Category: ???

‘This is the heart of the ancient dragon Fafnir. If you eat it, you will have an immortal body, but if consumed by anything other than the dragon race, your soul will be destroyed.’

Daesung smiled as he read the words written in the information section.

Even if you eat something that isn’t a dragon, you can’t gain the power of immortality.

Then, isn’t this just a useless piece of meat to you?

‘I didn’t want an immortal body anyway.’

I meant it.

I’m not rationalizing it because I feel regretful.

There is no need for an immortal body.

just.

I want to live like an ordinary human being.

Eat, sleep, cry, laugh…

and then one day, when my life comes to an end, I can die comfortably…

that was enough.

‘It’s trash I don’t need, but-.’

Daeseong held in his hand the heart of an ancient dragon that was alive and breathing.

‘That annihilator dragon might want this.’

What does ‘immortality’ mean to a dragon? Even Daesung has no way of knowing whether it is a blessing or a curse.

However, on the surface, Fafnir did not seem to regret his fate of not dying.

In that case, the annihilating dragon might also be happy to see this heart.

‘Moreover, he went through a lot of trouble because of me, so I should give him a reward like this.’

So far, I’ve only received blind loyalty, and I’ve never once been rewarded for that loyalty.

Daesung kept the ancient dragon’s heart in subspace.

Right then.

Kugugu-.

Due to Fafnir’s death, the space within the barrier that was his nest began to collapse.

Jeok-. Damn it -.

Sunny light seeped in through the cracks in the sky.

“I think I need to rest a bit.”

Daesung lay down on his back and closed his eyes.

A clear dawn filled his face as he rested.

Pachang-!

And the unique barrier over New York collapsed.

“ah!”

People who were anxious as they looked at the barrier let out a sigh.

They were afraid that with the collapse of the barrier, another monster would come out, but

…

nothing happened.

“Phew…”

They breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, but that didn’t last long.

In particular, hunters whose eyesight was different from that of ordinary people saw it.

“Oh! excuse me!”

“The savior of the East!”

The image of Daesung falling beneath the collapsing barrier.

I thought he would soon spread his dragon wings like he always did, but there was no reaction from Daesung.

Only then did people realize that he had fainted and their faces turned pale.

An incredibly high altitude.

Even if he were the savior of the East, there was no guarantee that he would be safe if he collided with the ground in that state.

at that time.

“Get out of the way!”

Swish-!

A seal left an afterimage in the air and passed by people like lightning.

It was none other than Henry Glover, the leader of the < Millennium > Clan.

He unleashed the auror of a lifetime and raced towards the falling Daeseong.

and.

widely-!

Henry leaped at just the right moment and safely grabbed Daesung’s body.

“…!”

Henry’s face hardened when he noticed that Daesung’s unconscious body was a complete ball of fire.

He carefully lifted Daesung with both arms and walked toward the crowd.

Silence passed among the people. Only the sound of breathing could be heard occasionally.

Even though there was no separate agreement, the people silently took a step back and cleared the way for Henry.

Everyone’s hearts were united as one.

People filled with emotion wiped their eyes and sobbed.

No one looked anywhere else.

All I can see is Daesung’s face in deep sleep.

With envious eyes.

With eyes full of respect.

With eyes filled with gratitude.

“Thank you so much for being our hope and salvation.”

Henry said this as he slowly put Daesung down on the floor.

Daesung

slept soundly for the first time in a long time.
