Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 168
# 168

Binggrrr!
Sigh-!
The halberd, which spun violently and floated in the air, soon fell and became embedded in the ground.
“….”
A gloomy silence filled the area around the halberd stuck in the floor.
Balark kept his mouth shut and thought in that silence.
Why is Sentinel dead now?
…Called.
Balark’s hand, which was tightly holding the thunder spear, was trembling.
It was because of the thrill that went through my whole body as I witnessed an unknown power.
‘A Sentinel will never die until you hit the engraving on its lumbar spine.’
No matter how much you cut off the head or split the body in half, as long as the imprint is not erased or broken.
Sentinels constantly recover. And it is constantly resurrected.
I’m sure that’s the case, but
“He looks like a berserker, but he acts like a zombie. Anyway, all the summons that Han Dae-seong summons are bizarre.”
That man, Lee Chang-sik, just killed a Sentinel in an unconventional way.
Instead of attacking each person, he just brutally tore the Sentinel’s body to pieces with a simple, ignorant spear move.
like.
‘…as if the body had been pulverized and any possibility of revival itself was crushed.’
Whiiing!
Afterwards, even the halberd that lost its owner turned to powder and disappeared.
However, Ballark had no time to mourn the death of his comrade.
“When I get out of here.”
A voice full of life came out through Valarc’s helmet.
To Lee Chang-sik’s ears, the voice sounded small and distant, as if it were blocked by a soundproof wall.
In fact, Balark had been trapped within the ‘golden wall’ not long after the battle began.
It was one of Gungnir’s special functions with the name ‘suppression’.
“You will never die comfortably. “I swear by chivalry.”
“Yeah, what? “I can’t hear very well.”
The moment when Lee Chang-sik put his hand to his ear and mocked it to the fullest.
bang-!
Balark swung his thunderbolt and struck the wall with force.
It may be obvious, but it was an action that had already been repeated several times.
However, no matter how many times I stabbed it with a spear or hit it with my fist, there was not a single crack in the wall.
‘It is a barrier with a special type of magic. It would be impossible to break it with physical force.’
If you get caught up in emotions burning like an active volcano and go on a rampage with all your might, you will only lose your strength.
Balark calmed down and calmly examined the nature of the wall.
‘You have to meet certain conditions to get out of here.’
“Eyes, arms and legs. If you give up one of the three, you can get out of there.”
at that time.
The correct answer to the condition that suddenly came out of Lee Chang-sik’s mouth made Ballark’s worries meaningless.
Ballark felt more anxious about Lee Chang-sik’s scheme than about the extremely demonic conditions of liberation.
“Why do you have to tell me that?”
“Because it has power that can only be activated if it is revealed honestly.”
Kugugu-!
At that moment, the four sides forming the barrier began to slowly approach Balark.
Ballark clicked his tongue as he saw the internal area slowly starting to narrow.
“It was something like this.”
“Choose your own. There, you either become flat like a rat or give up one of your eyes, arms, or legs.”
It was a design full of malice that could not be considered a sacred weapon.
A wall that moves only when the conditions for escaping the barrier are revealed.
In that case, those trapped inside will inevitably be faced with a crossroads of choice.
Die or cut?
Lee Chang-sik smiled bitterly, but inside he was disgusted.
‘I may say this from my side, but it really is a perverted power.’
-Evil that dares to oppose heaven deserves extreme pain.
‘Are all the apostles of heaven sadistic?’
Lee Chang-sik, hearing Armagan’s voice, shook his head.
Kugugu-.
The wall was quickly pressing down on Valarc.
The space where there was at least enough space to swing a thunderbolt has now narrowed to a level where only one can stand upright.
‘Eyes, arms and legs…’
Is there any choice?
Balark sighed heavily and placed both hands on his temples.
And then he took off his helmet.
“….”
Lee Chang-sik’s eyes narrowed coldly when he saw Ballark’s bare face.
The appearance is not much different from the command soldiers that Daesung usually summons.
His face was dripping with fluid and covered in rotten flesh.
Originally, he belonged to the Legion of Death under Dolph.
“You…”
But what Lee Chang-sik paid attention to was not Ballark’s rotten flesh.
The left eye is completely empty.
The fact that he took off his helmet to reveal his one eye meant,
“I guess he’s thinking of giving up his eye.” “It would be better than ripping off the limbs.”
“It’s more.”
“…what?”
“I can’t give up my eyes or limbs like you told me to do, but-.”
Empty!
The Dragon Knight’s helmet fell to the ground.
The two hands that had taken off the helmet grabbed his bare face this time.
At that moment, Lee Chang-sik’s narrowed eyes widened for an instant.
Ballark said regardless.
“I would gladly take a head off this body for the sake of the person I serve.”
“Hey, what are you-.”
Wow!
Bright red blood gushed out like a fountain.
Ballark put his strength on his wrist and pulled out the head without hesitation.
-I don’t know your intention. Is it suicide?
“…A guy who doesn’t hesitate to pluck out a hair can’t even give up an eye?”
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t fathom the intention behind taking such action.
At that time, Lee Chang-sik and Armagan, caught in confusion, froze still.
“…!”
A clear feeling of astonishment appeared in Lee Chang-sik’s eyes. That’s probably the same for Armagan, who is watching the situation from the heavenly sanctuary.
Balark did not fall.
His feet, encased in iron armor, were firmly planted on the ground, and surprisingly, his face, which he had pulled out on his own, was held calmly as if it were a ball, in both hands wearing gauntlets.
“At the time the former monarch made me into this body, I thought it was a terrible curse.”
The voice was not coming from the face that had left the body.
The air itself seemed to be alive, flowing with passion.
“But now that I can kill you, I consider it a blessing.”
Grumbling-.
Blue flames burned with ferocious firepower from the cross section of the severed neck.
For some reason, Armagan’s shout exploded in Lee Chang-sik’s mind as he couldn’t figure it out.
-Dullahan!
“ok? what is that.”
-He is the god of death who has been said to kill light since ancient times! But who knew that he inherited that blood!
“No, I don’t understand a single thing about what you keep saying.”
Wajangchang-!
The wall of oppression was broken like a mere glass window.
Lee Chang-sik, who saw the scene, twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered with an expression that did not know whether he was serious or not.
“I understand why you’re making such a fuss.”
– Gungnir’s divine power doesn’t work on that guy now!
“Then what should I do?”
-There will be a life vessel that acts as the heart somewhere in its body. Aim for it.
“No, if you just say that, I’ll-”
Even before the irritated Lee Chang-sik could finish his words.
Purr!
Below Balark, who had broken through the barrier, a horse engulfed in blue fire roared.
“Let’s go, ghost horse.”
Doo doo doo!
The ghost horse ran powerfully across the ground, snorting fire.
Lee Chang-sik, who was almost overwhelmed for a moment by his brilliant spirit, erased his distracting thoughts and raised Gungnir.
Flash!
Dozens of flashes of light were emitted from the spear blade and struck the ghost horse and Balark.
“no use.”
Just before being immersed in the light, Balark raised his face from his side.
Hwareuk-!
The moment a blue flame bloomed from the empty left eyelid.
The brilliance that seemed to devour the entire nest completely disappeared.
As soon as Lee Chang-sik gritted his teeth and put more force into his hand holding Gungnir.
visor-!
Before we knew it, Balark’s thunderbolt and Gungnir collided.
A terrifying gust of wind poured from the point where the spear blade met.
“Damn it.”
If the stalemate continues like this, this side will be at a disadvantage.
Golden wings spread behind Lee Chang-sik, who made a quick decision.
It was one of the abilities he gained by becoming the incarnation of Armagan.
Pak-!
Lee Chang-sik’s new model, which pushed the ground forward and leaped to the rear, flew into the sky.
First, I decided to give myself some breathing room by increasing the distance between me.
Of course, Ballark had no intention of giving him a ‘gap’ or anything like that.
“I would have said you wouldn’t die in peace.”
Hwareuk-.
In Ballark’s left hand, which was not holding the spear, another spear made entirely of firewood from blade to stem appeared.
The spear of Janbul had an outline similar to that of the thunder spear.
It was a weapon replica using blue flame, one of Dullahan’s powers.
“I’ll make you rags.”
Wedge-!
Balark threw both spears held in both hands at the same time.
The two spears flew away with a roar reminiscent of a bomber, splitting in the air and releasing countless spear blades.
The destructive javelin technique that knocked down a hundred wyverns with just one throw was twice as powerful this time through simple calculation.
“shit.”
Lee Chang-sik lost his mind and was on the verge of fainting due to the barrage of spear blades flying across his field of vision, so much so that even the expression “heavy rain” would not be enough.
If that was just a normal attack, it would have been enough to erase it all with the light of Gungnir, but
Armagan just said that even divine power was useless this time.
“We should just cut them all out one by one!”
Common sense would say it was impossible to do, but I had no choice right now.
humming-!
Lee Chang-sik rotated Gungnir 360 degrees like a windmill and used it as a shield to catch the spear blade.
A storm of hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of spear blades faced the furiously spinning Gungnir.
Pak-! Kwasik-!
“…!!”
Of course, it is impossible to block all of that murderous number of spear blades just by spinning the spear.
The spear blade that deviated from Gungnir’s turning radius always grazed Lee Changsik’s limbs or, in extreme cases, pierced through his flesh.
As far as vital points.
Everything else is fine, so I won’t allow it in critical areas. A beast-like look appeared in Lee Chang-sik’s eyes as he reflected on that single thought.
At first glance, it seemed like he was able to block it well, but the white short-sleeved T-shirt Lee Chang-sik was wearing was already covered in red.
Every time the blade of the spear penetrated my body, I felt a surge of pain that felt like my brain was going to explode.
“Damn it!”
I endured it with perseverance.
However, grit alone cannot overcome the differences in compatibility.
Kwasik-!
“…!”
The moment his golden wings were pierced by the spear blade, Lee Chang-sik’s body staggered greatly in the air.
In the meantime, the blue flame spear blade continued to fly and tear at the wings.
yet.
Lee Chang-sik fell to the ground with both wings so badly damaged that flight was impossible.
thud-!
As soon as Lee Chang-sik’s head fell to the ground, a thick layer of dust rose up.
Shut up!
The sound of the hooves of the ghost horse carrying Valarke pierced Lee Chang-sik’s ears in a dark and powerful way.
“Seriously.”
-Come to your senses! If I die here…!
“I understand, so shut up.”
Lee Chang-sik, who had lost half of his senses due to anger and frustration, was scared to death.
Balark’s thunderbolt extended its blade towards him as if it would leave no room for even a single word.
“This is why people should always do what they are good at.”
Just before the spear pierced Lee Chang-sik’s head.
Kugugu-!
A mound of dirt suddenly rose up from the ground and entangled both Balark’s arms and the ghost horse’s legs.
“…!”
For a moment, Ballark, unable to move, twitched his shoulders and Lee Chang-sik sneered.
“You almost fell because you used a spear that wasn’t even in the eight letters, you bitch.”
Telekinesis.
Neither Gungnir nor his power as an incarnation.
Lee Chang-sik’s essential power as an ‘S-class hunter’.
“They say there is a heart somewhere in the body that is called Life.”
Breaking this level of restraint with force was not difficult for Ballark.
but.
The body was tied up right in front of the enemy.
At that point, there is a difference between winning and losing.
Lee Chang-sik raised his fallen body and said, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
“Then if we just keep pounding at random things, the heartland will eventually suffer damage, right?”
“…!”
This time, Gungnir’s spear blade was extended from Lee Changsik’s side.
Doo doo doo doo!
The blade of the spear continued to pierce Ballark’s body like bullets pouring out of the muzzle of a machine gun.
This is the attack that pulverized the Sentinel earlier.
“Ugh…!”
Balark groaned as he was torn to pieces by the endless barrage of spear blades.
Jeok-.
Just.
A crack has appeared in the life vessel.
***
“Ah…!”
Meanwhile.
Jisoo and Hyejeong, who were watching the fight outside from inside the iron castle, let out a sharp sigh.
Jisoo covered her mouth and faintly shed tears.
Balark, who had been the only hope, was now dying in a manner never seen before in a gruesome manner.
However, Hye-jeong and Ji-soo were more worried about Ballark’s condition than their own safety.
“I’m really going to die if I do that…”
The ghost horse, unable to withstand the bombardment of the spear blade, was horribly damaged and collapsed.
Balark fell from his horse and rolled around on the floor, covered in blood.
In the end, Jisoo couldn’t just sit back and watch.
“Hey! “Jisoo!”
Hyejeong grabbed Jisoo’s shoulder as she tried to turn around and run away.
However, Jisoo shook off Hyejeong’s touch and ran away recklessly.
‘There’s nothing wrong with my eyes. That person must be Lee Chang-sik!’
He is an S-class hunter that no Korean citizen knows about.
At first, I thought it could never be like that and thought it was an optical illusion, but not anymore.
That monster is definitely the man who was called ‘hero’ by people.
He had a reputation for having a stronger sense of justice than anyone else.
‘If I block that person, I might be able to buy some time. Because you won’t kill me, a human being! therefore…!’
To be honest, I didn’t think about what happened after that.
Buying time? So what do you do next? Are you going to at least fight for me? I asked myself that question.
but.
It was so painful.
It was so painful that it made me nauseous to let go and just look at it.
‘My brother is fighting and my uncle is also fighting…’
She gritted her teeth as she ran towards the entrance of Cheolseong.
‘I’m the only one feeling so helpless…’
Right then.
chin-.
Jisoo’s arm, which had been stretched out to open the entrance, stopped in midair.
This is because someone behind me grabbed my shoulder.
Jisoo, who thought that someone was Hyejeong, turned her head and shouted.
No, I was going to shout.
“uh…?”
The moment I realized who was holding my shoulder, my mind went crazy.
Instead, tears came out.
“I came late on purpose, you bastard…”
A tone of resentment came out of my mouth without me realizing it.
In fact, it was a face she wanted to see so much that Jisoo couldn’t hold back her tears.
