Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 167

“On the outside, it doesn’t look like there are any injuries… The blood on the body doesn’t seem to have come from this person.”
“But there’s no way I could sleep like this. “Isn’t it because there’s something wrong with your body?”
After all the fighting is over.
The people who had gathered in small groups next to Daeseong were whispering.
It was only for a moment that I felt moved by the savior who fought on behalf of mankind.
Everyone couldn’t help but make expressions of trouble.
This was due to the follow-up actions of Daesung, who lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
“The Aurors are gone. “I don’t think you’re injured enough to require any further action.”
A female hunter with healing aura said so.
According to what she said, there was no need to take Daesung to the hospital.
“You’re just sleeping. “No, if you don’t open your eyes even in this noise, I can say you just fainted.”
Henry Glover, who was watching the situation, stroked his pure white beard.
Fortunately, nearby is the New York branch building of the clan < Millennium >, headed by Henry Glover.
“First, take this person there-”
That was when Henry’s words continued.
Grumble-!
“…!”
Suddenly, a black flame began to burn from the tattoo on the back of Daesung’s right hand.
Startled people took a step back.
The flames that burned with fierce heat soon formed into the shape of a human being.
“Phew, it finally came out.”
A cold sigh flowed from the mouth of the stranger created by the flames.
What stood out from the tattoo on the back of Daesung’s hand was a man wearing a robe.
He muttered, scratching his hair.
“I wonder if the monarch will be angry if he finds out that I broke through the summoning world on my own…”
“Who are you?”
Henry asked warily.
The gunman belatedly realized that there were many eyes around him and cleared his throat lightly.
“Oh, you don’t have to be so nervous. I am your loyal servant… no. Um yeah. “You can think of it as a summoned beast.”
“If it’s the old monarch… what about Hunter Han Dae-seong here?”
“Who else would there be?”
The strange Arch Lich Melcanon smiled as kindly as possible to ease people’s guard.
Melcanon glanced at Daesung, who was sleeping soundly, and continued speaking.
“Your Majesty needs medical care now more than ever.”
“I know that. So, we sent that person to our clan headquarters-.”
“What do you plan to do after taking me to that place called clan headquarters?”
“No, well… Rather than telling you what to do, I just want to provide convenience so you can sleep soundly.”
“I thought you would say that.”
Henry frowned and tilted his head.
I couldn’t believe you would say that.
Isn’t this the nuance of feeling like there is a better way than this?
And what Melcanon said next did not differ much from Henry’s expectations.
“I know a better place to heal. So, let me take charge of this person at this point.”
“A better place to heal… where is it?”
“Do you really need me to tell you that?”
“….”
“And even if I tell you, you won’t understand anyway.”
Melcanon shot back in a somewhat cold tone and carefully placed Daesung on his shoulder.
Henry might have been offended, but he didn’t say anything more.
This is because they sensed that this was a problem that was out of their hands.
Therefore, I didn’t feel much anger at Melcanon’s seemingly condescending attitude with a smiling face.
It’s just a little disappointing.
‘We always just take.’
Henry’s shoulders slumped as he watched the backs of Melcanon and Daesung moving away.
Yes, humanity has always just received things from that man. Especially after the second cataclysm occurred.
Are we not even able to provide the man with the convenience to enable him to sleep comfortably?
At that moment, Henry, feeling guilty for no reason, was shaking his fist.
“Oh yeah.”
Stop.
Melcanon, who was walking, suddenly stopped and looked back at Henry.
“Summons like me are connected to the monarch in many ways. So we can feel his emotions to some extent. “It’s at a vague level, though.”
“…?”
What are you trying to say suddenly?
Henry lifted his lowered head and stared at Melcanon.
“So I know roughly. “I wonder what the monarch usually thinks of people like you.”
“….”
“It’s just that he’s strangely dishonest and doesn’t express himself well.”
My heart is pounding.
Henry’s heart pounded when he heard Melcanon’s words.
Not only Henry but others who were listening to the story also swallowed their saliva.
Part of me knew that I shouldn’t be this nervous, but on the other hand, my heart was pounding like a student just before receiving his report card.
Henry asked softly, his voice becoming quieter without his knowledge.
“What does he think of us on a regular basis?”
Melcanon secretly examined Henry’s expression with bird-of-prey eyes.
Right.
Do they respect the monarch enough to worry about each and every trivial evaluation?
I guess he didn’t have any reward for going through so much trouble.
“If you thought you were worthless.”
Melcanon answered, slightly raising the corners of his mouth.
“The monarch would not have fought to the point of being covered in blood in the first place.”

“Mister! Aren’t you cold? “Come down and let’s eat together!”
Black iron castle.
Ballark, who was sitting on top of the mountain and staring endlessly into the distance, suddenly heard such a voice.
When I looked down, I saw Jisoo waving her hands and shouting.
Ballark added magic to his voice so that Jisoo could hear him well.
A heavy voice rang out widely, as if speaking into a loudspeaker.
“it’s okay. And even if you speak softly, everything will be heard, so there is no need to yell.”
“Oh yeah? Well, I almost burst out loud if I said that a long time ago. Anyway, don’t do that and come down. Aren’t you hungry? “I have never seen you eat anything.”
“I’m just a summoned beast so I don’t feel hungry.”
“Ah, anyway, I’m afraid you’re my brother’s subordinate, so I’m holding on to a lot of weight. “Take after a good boss, mister.”
“You’re a good person, my lord…”
It was pointless to keep talking back to her because she was the younger sister of someone I respected.
While Ballark was scratching his helmet in embarrassment, Jisoo spoke.
“Even if you’re not hungry, you can still taste it, right? It seems like you’re having a hard time because of us, so I want to give you something in return. “Come down and have a quick meal.”
“….”
Balark turned his head and looked at the front yard of the Iron Castle.
On the wide plain, demonic beasts dressed in white armor were encamped, standing tall like statues.
Just recently, Daeseong was an army of dragon infantry soldiers created by sacrificing the bones of red dragons and the bodies of wyverns.
‘My lord ordered me to protect this place and my family with all my life…’
The spirit of the mercenary soldiers, who had been standing still for several days and not taking a single step, was truly enough to impress even Balark.
‘As expected, it’s the nest of an annihilating dragon, so no one dares to go over here.’
It is a fortress with the breath of an annihilating dragon, which is notorious among dragons.
Even the great dragons are reluctant to step in, but is there any need to mention other lower-ranking races?
Excluding the place where Daesung is, this must be the safest place on earth right now.
In that case,
‘If it’s just for a short period of time, it might be okay to allow that person to be pampered.’
Balark was already well aware of the fact that his lord’s sister was very stubborn.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to hang out once in a while. Ballark had made his decision and was about to come down from the top.
“…!”
Balark froze for a moment without trying to straighten up.
Because I definitely feel it now.
The sign of someone who has stepped into the nest.
‘intruder…!’
Sensing an ominous energy, Ballark’s eyes quickly turned straight ahead.
From far away.
A man was striding towards the border of the nest.
It was too far away to be seen properly without a telescope, but Ballark, who had superhuman eyesight, was able to clearly see the man’s movements.
He was an ordinary-looking young man wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt.
Of course, the spirit overflowing from his whole body was anything but ordinary.
‘Human?’
The man was definitely a human, not a member of another race.
That fact rather surprised Ballark.
Could it be that he so confidently entered the dragon’s nest with a mere human body?
‘Ominous.’
Balark thought it was a bad omen and sent a warning message to the mercenary soldiers guarding the border of the nest.
‘Stop that man.’
chuck-!
Following Balark’s command, a group of mercenary soldiers blocked the man’s path.
The foot of a man who was about to cross the border stopped high in the air.
“what.”
The man blocked at the entrance glared at Yong A-byeong with an expression of displeasure.
Changsik Lee.
A vein appeared on his forehead.
“I have nothing to do with you. “It would be beneficial for both parties to get out of the way.”
Of course, there was no way Yong Ah-byeong would step aside after hearing those words.
On the contrary, they thrust the long weapons they held in their hands threateningly.
Lee Chang-sik suddenly noticed a certain atmosphere from the hostile Yongah Byeong and grinned.
“Are you guys dragons too? “I think it smells somewhat similar.”
“….”
“…Anyway.”
Lee Chang-sik was very annoyed by Yong Ah-byeong’s reaction, which did not respond at all.
He reached out to the side.
That moment.
“-I guess you’re the type of person who can’t understand what people are saying.”
Flash!
As the strong light blinked, a long golden spear appeared in his hand.
It was Gungnir.
“…!”
The mercenary soldiers who saw the weapon rushed at him fiercely.
Lee Chang-sik was not embarrassed at all and swung the spear horizontally.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!
A terrifying fierce wind was released from the spear blade and swept away the dragon soldiers at once. Lee
Chang-sik laughed
among the mercenary soldiers whose limbs had been horribly cut off and fresh blood was spraying out .
“If I play a dragon again, I’ll beat you up so bad.”
Moment.
Ballark doubted his eyes.
‘Humans have dragon disease?’
This is not just a dragon bottle, but a dragon bottle that has received the protection of the nest.
This means that the power of each animal is comparable to the combat power of an S-class hunter on Earth.
But to defeat such mercenary soldiers in one blow!
‘He does not fall under human standards. As for that window, there is definitely some kind of entity supporting it from behind.’
In any case, it is obvious that this is an enemy that cannot be stopped by mercenary soldiers alone.
In an instant, Lee Chang-sik broke through the Yongah Army’s formation and rushed to Cheolseong.
Balark jumped from the top of the iron castle and took out his thunderbolt.
Meanwhile, Jisoo’s complexion became pale when she saw Lee Chang-sik’s appearance.
“Oh man…!”
“Please stay inside. “I will take care of it, so don’t worry.”
Ballark courageously stood in front of Jisoo.
Jisoo nodded and hurriedly entered the iron castle.
“Sentinel.”
thud-!
The Sentinel responded to Valarc’s call and took heavy steps, tightly gripping its halberd.
“The two of us will stop that guy.”
Ballark realized this instinctively.
That man would be difficult to deal with on his own.
At that very moment, Lee Chang-sik, who had destroyed all the dragon soldiers standing in front of him, confronted Balark.
Ballark opened his mouth in a harsh tone.
“I guess you didn’t come all the way here with the intention of returning alive.”
“what. “I will return alive.”
“What business is this?”
“I remember the address of Han Dae-seong’s house was around here. “Is he here now?”
“You don’t have to know.”
Valarke and Sentinel took a rough advance at the same time.
Two spears were violently slashed at Lee Chang-sik.
***
It was a pure white unknown space with no walls, ceiling, or floor.
It was inside a unique barrier developed by none other than Melcanon himself.
‘The world of rest.’
A place where even fatal injuries can be healed quickly just by stationing there, as long as your life is at stake.
Even depleted magical power will be replenished here much faster than in the outside world.
‘You’ve overexerted yourself.’
Melcanon, who was holding Daesung’s unconscious wrist and checking his pulse, shook his head.
There was no airflow in the specific circuit that operated the magic power.
It was a part where we could see that Daesung had literally gathered up all his magical power to embody Mephisto.
‘Even though it’s inside the world of rest, you’ll need to stay still for at least three days for your magic power to build up to a certain level.’
Think of it the other way around.
The price for summoning a ruler of one dimension like Mephisto is at most this much.
Once again, Melcanon closed his eyes and admired the enormous size of the bowl held by the monarch.
chin-.
“My lord?”
The feeling of my wrist being grabbed passed me by.
Melcanon opened his eyes again and looked at Daesung’s face.
Daesung suddenly woke up from fainting and was holding Melcanon’s wrist.
“Are you out of your mind?”
“Where are we?”
“Oh yeah. “This is the place of rest.”
“Get me out right now.”
“yes? …Ugh!”
At that time, Melcanon was surprised to see Daesung suddenly standing up.
The reaction of the monarch, who seems somewhat urgent, is simply perplexing.
“Old monarch. Not yet-.”
You must not move.
Melcanon’s words, which he tried to plead with, did not last until the end.
Wow.
My throat was dry and the skin on my whole body stung as if it was being torn by a sharp wind.
What were you trying to say or what actions were you trying to take?
Melcanon had completely forgotten.
It’s just overwhelming.
Facing this direction, we face the back of the monarch who does not show his expression.
I was weighed down by an explosive feeling of death with no end in sight.
Melcanon, who was once called the great sage, has become a mute, unable to even open his mouth.
The monarch said.
“It looks like some bastard approached my family.”
