Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 38
# 38
038
Like the Subspace Pocket, Saju’s Eye was closer to a passive skill rather than an item.
A passive skill that can be activated anytime, anywhere without the need to disguise yourself through a load.
‘During the exam, there are sometimes people who show hostility to fellow test takers in subtle ways.’
For example, a guy who secretly digs traps and feeds water to his competitors.
If that were the case, there would be an excuse like, ‘That guy just fell into a trap set up to get rid of monsters.’
Daesung had prepared the Saju’s Eye to prevent such an unlikely situation.
‘I can see it.’
Just like this.
‘The faces of those who are showing hostility towards me.’
Numerous spider-shaped brands were shining clearly in the darkness.
This was the brand on the faces of those who were watching their prey in this dark room.
[The eye of the spell has been activated.]
[Marks targets hostile to the caster within a radius of 1 km.]
The spell of the giant spider of hell.
It was a nightmare, ravaging its prey with its eight highly effective eyes.
‘Now, in reverse, I’m in that guy’s position.’
Hwareuk –
Through the darkness that has swallowed everything.
The red flame burned quietly.
***
“Kiririk-”
“Kaaaaak-”
How would someone feel when they hear such a hideous cry in the pitch-black darkness where nothing can be seen?
Most people will probably pass out or collapse on the spot in sheer fear.
And the monsters that ambushed through the darkness knew this very well and even enjoyed it.
The fact that they have the upper hand.
The fact that the prey is afraid.
Those facts made the already vicious guys even more excited.
“Shaaaak-!”
Numerous monsters were hiding in the darkness.
From goblin orcs to ouroboros cubs.
They are designed so that the human eye can function normally even in this type of darkness.
That’s why they were able to watch very clearly.
Jump and jump –
the sight of prey slowly walking towards them.
“Saaaak-”
“Kaaaak-!”
Although they were completely hidden in the dark, they let out blatant, hideous roars.
It was none other than to stimulate fear in the prey.
however. For some reason
,
the prey in front of me is moving without any sign of fear.
“Shaaaak-?”
Some guys are starting to question that fact.
Usually, they would collapse and cry, or they would run away screaming.
But that white-haired prey just walked along peacefully, as if taking a walk.
“Kyaaaak-!”
Some of the guys who got sick let out even more horrifying cries.
But the prey’s expression was the same.
Are you a deaf person?
“Krrreuk-”
No, that’s a bluff.
Contrary to my feelings, I swallow my fears and deliberately pretend to be calm.
“Kak-!”
bouncer.
Let’s see if he can keep that calm look.
The monsters in the darkness gritted their fangs and struggled for life.
Jeopuk –
And then, the moment the prey approaches the range.
“Kaaaak-!”
The Ouroboros baby that was closest stretched out its long body and rushed towards its prey.
but.
Pak-!
“Keek-!”
The prey did not even turn its head, but simply stretched its arm to the side and smashed its neck.
A very calculated move, as if he knew it would happen.
The prey opened its mouth, shaking off the bodily fluids from its hands.
“Not you.”
The monsters in the dark involuntarily held their breath at the voice without any emotion.
“There are a lot of them together, so it will be easy to get points.” As
soon
as he finished speaking, the prey looked somewhere.
And the monsters ambushed in the darkness felt like they were almost suffocating as they tried to swallow their breath.
I’m sure it’s dark so he can’t see anything.
“That place is a bonanza.”
Because they made eye contact.
Jiying –
The prey’s purple eyes flashed eerily.
At that moment, the monsters realized.
The fact that it is not the prey who are trapped in the darkness, but themselves.
***
Hwareuk-!
Pubung-!
The sword engulfed in flames carved a red trail in the air.
Flame’s sword energy cut through the thick darkness without hesitation and exploded at the monsters.
bang-!
Kyaaaak-!
‘Approximately 10 points per animal.’
Every time Daeseong swung his sword along the spider-shaped brand, the monsters were swept away like fallen leaves in a cold wind.
[Accumulated points: 300]
It was easy to kill 30 of them.
Because you know where the enemy is and can clearly see where more of them are concentrated.
Crrr-!
A wolf-shaped monster attacked from the direction of the square.
“You said you didn’t want to get rid of them one by one.”
Hwareuk-!
A fireball like a will-o’-the-wisp burned near the back of Daeseong’s head.
[The first special skill of ‘Scorching’ mode is activated.]
[Special skill: < flame bullet >]
Fababang-!
And the round fireball exploded in several directions.
Flame bullets spread out in all directions like thorn needles and devastated the monsters that were in ambush in the area.
Unlike the ‘Incendiary’ mode, which is controlled directly by the caster, the ‘Scorching’ mode automatically tracks the enemy.
It burned down all the enemies that Daesung could not pay attention to.
Hwareuk-!
Kwakwagak-!
Daesung, with his sword full of flames, ran wild like a tank and showed off his unrivaled skills.
Kaaaaak-!
[Accumulated points: 400]
Key profit!
[Accumulated points: 450]
And those in the path where the tank rushed were unable to properly counterattack and had no choice but to be swept away.
No, I couldn’t access it easily at all.
It was because of the high heat that Daeseong’s fire-fire great sword was fiercely emitting.
“Don’t run away.”
Daesung shot a murderous gaze at the guys who were sneaking away to avoid the high heat.
They would be dumbfounded too.
The one who needs to run away is the prey, but instead they are retreating.
Sasasak-!
Wow!
Some courageous guys ran towards Daesung, risking the high heat that threatened to burn them.
of course.
Paba room-!
Kwasik-!
Although it was torn apart by the barrage of bullets raining down like a machine gun.
It didn’t take long.
Sigh –
[Accumulated points: 530]
Digging up the first bonanza without a trace.
“This is a waste of time.”
Nevertheless, Daesung’s thirst was not fully satisfied.
Even though I worked hard like this, I only achieved half of the required points.
Considering the amount of magical power consumed during the activation time of < Scorching >, this was truly a waste of energy and time.
‘I said that each monster has different points.’
That means there are monsters that have more points than these guys.
It would be more efficient to find and destroy them.
‘This is over…’
Jeop-jeop-
‘Looking for stronger guys.’
Daesung walked through the darkness with the thoughts of a wild beast searching for prey.
Has about 10 minutes passed?
Jiing –
Saju’s eyes lit up clearly as he reacted to the stigma.
Crunch – Crunch –
A sound of twisting joints surrounded by something like a shell.
Even without having to check the stigma through the owner’s eyes, I felt it as a feeling.
‘This guy must be a bit thick.’
It was so large that even though it was buried in the darkness, you could still catch a glimpse of its body.
And in proportion to its size, the size of its stigma was also different from that of other creatures.
Giggs Geek-
Remember-
“This is unintentionally done to the latecomers.”
When it opened its mouth, its fangs, covered in green fluid, were revealed.
It was a huge scorpion, 10 times the size of an adult male.
< Giant Scorpion >
To add, this was not a monster that the test taker was assigned to catch.
Rather, he is more like a trap set up to be avoided.
one.
“If it’s this big, it would be enough for 50 animals.”
To Daesung, it was just a bunch of points.
***
Squaw!
A rough, bloodshot hand touched the solid ice wall.
So, I climb up quickly, pointing at the protruding corners one by one.
“Seriously you bastards! “If this continues, I’m going to bleed for exams and all!”
The person climbing the steep rock wall was none other than Jeong Jin-cheol.
The closer you get to the top, the heavier the snow falls and your hands get cold.
It was to die for.
‘This is a very fucking fantastic test, Sipal.’
The level of difficulty also makes one question whether even current upper-class hunters can pass the test.
Above all, there was one person who had been confusing his mind ever since.
‘Where did that winged cub come from?’
The guy who fought while flapping his dragon wings.
At first I thought it was a monster.
However, the moment I witnessed the bizarre sight of a tree branch spitting fire and roasting a whole Frost Rock, I realized that this was a fellow candidate.
‘Of course. It’s the same guy as the guy on the first floor.’
This made it clear.
Besides him and Shin Cho-young, there is someone else who is dominating this test right now.
‘shit. Seok-woo said that only Shin Cho-young needs to be careful during this test. ‘This is different!’
No, I wasn’t exactly telling you to be careful.
-Just be alert. That bitch is no match for you anyway.
The nuance was that even Shin Cho-young could not be Jeong Jin-cheol’s opponent.
No matter how much Shin Cho-young went through hell training, she ended up being a B grade.
There was already an inherent gap with him, who was judged to be in the upper-middle class of Class A.
however.
‘Damn it. I’m embarrassed to have been overtaken by that bitch on the first floor, but where did that Ten Generals come from?’
Lee Seok-woo, who is probably watching this scene from the stands, is probably very disappointed.
In order to make up for that mistake, I had to achieve a top 1 result.
‘Luckily, that bitch Shin Cho-young seems to have become a nagari.’
Jeong Jin-cheol climbed the rock wall at the same timing as Shin Cho-young.
But now she was nowhere to be seen.
He must have fallen far behind or crashed along the way.
If this happens,
‘Let alone screwing over Shin Cho-young, we have to deal with that Ten Generals first!’
I can’t allow 1st place to someone whose name I don’t even know.
That enormous persistence spurred Jeong Jin-cheol to climb the rock wall.
Pak-!
Kwaduk-!
He climbed the snowy mountain as if he was jumping, swinging his arms wildly.
It was a last spurt that could be achieved because the summit was not far away.
And finally.
Kwasik-!
“You bastards!”
He reached the top, swearing with accomplishment.
Even though it was this cold, my whole body was covered in sweat and I was out of breath.
However, there was no time to rest if he wanted to narrow the gap with the ten generals.
Beep-
< A warp gate has been created. >
He crossed the gate panting like a dog chasing a chicken.
And the moment I entered the third floor, my vision turned dark.
But it wasn’t the darkness that puzzled Jeong Jin-cheol.
Exactly….
“Did you fly too?”
Leave a narrow gap.
First, it was Shin Cho-young, out of breath at the entrance to the third floor.
‘how?’
I was definitely the one who climbed the snowy mountain first. I guess I was the one who took the lead.
How on earth could Shin Cho-young be on the third floor in the first place?
“Haa… haa….”
Even in the darkness, Shin Cho-young’s sweat drops, pouring down like rain, shined clearly.
gulp.
She swallowed a sharp breath in her throat and walked away. The sight of Shin
Cho-
young walking away as if she didn’t even care made Jeong Jin-cheol angry.
“You asked me if I flew, you poisonous bitch! “Why are you here before me?”
“….”
Shin Cho-
young stopped at the shout of Jeong Jin-cheol, who was full of anger.
At first glance, the side of his face was haggard and his body was shivering, as if he had not yet shaken off the cold.
but.
“Shut up. “It’s so noisy.”
His voice was full of determination that he could still do more.
“Stop talking nonsense and go your own way. “I will go my own way.”
“….”
Jeong Jin-cheol was completely dumbfounded by the extremely cold answer.
Shin Cho-young didn’t care, and just like she said, she quietly walked her own path.
The path you must take.
That’s…
-Cho Young-ah, do you see the white-haired man over there?
-Watch out for that guy. Maybe… no, it will 200% definitely become an obstacle.
-If possible, don’t conflict with that man.
-You have to look far away.
The man.
Catching up with the white-haired man I saw at the stadium back then.
I thought I passed the first floor faster than anyone else.
But the moment she arrived on the second floor, what she saw was a man leading the way with different abilities.
From the moment she confirmed that fact, Shin Cho-young couldn’t stop.
‘I have to catch up even if I have to stop breathing.’
While some people give up when faced with huge obstacles, there are others who burn with a fiercer desire to win.
She had no doubt that she was one of the latter.
The aura coupled with stubborn determination has been sharpened
.
At that time, I was confident that I could not let down my guard no matter when and where monsters appeared.
Wiuung-
“Huh?”
Suddenly, the auror reactor mounted on the armor lost its light.
An aura reactor that helps the awakened person emit their aura more strongly and more carefully.
To compare it, it’s like an armor battery.
However, when the battery died, it meant that the armor was broken.
“what is this. Come on?”
Shin Cho-young was embarrassed.
There is no way the organizer would have paid defective money. There has never been a precedent like that before.
The moment she broke into a cold sweat as she fumbled with the reactor.
“First of all, we have to deal with the four years and move on.”
“what?”
Shin Cho-young tried to turn her head when she heard Jeong Jin-cheol’s voice coming from behind her.
Wow!
Until Jeong Jin-cheol’s right hand pierced her back.
