Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 58
# 58
058
As soon as news broke that level 2 gates had occurred in Ansan-si and Bupyeong-gu, Seong Chan-ho immediately bought admission tickets before Daesung even spoke.
however.
[Why didn’t you buy one?]
“Uh.”
[Is there a crazy person in the world who buys up two level gates that occurred at the same time? Do you have two bodies?]
“Last time, you got rid of six.”
[That was possible because it was a level 5 and level 4 gate. No, that was originally impossible, but it was only possible because of you… Anyway, you can’t be level 2, Daesung. It’s not that I underestimate you, it’s that it really doesn’t work out.]
5 years ago.
It may still be better than the level 1 gate, a nightmare that caused countless hunters’ lives and human casualties.
However, that only means that it is ‘relatively’ better.
If the level 1 gate is too much for even the S-level hunter alliance, the
level 2 gate can only be cleared if at least an S-level hunter participates in the Maginot Line.
No matter how great he was, Chan-ho Seong couldn’t guarantee whether it would be possible to go around two level 2 gates at once.
[And it was impossible to make two reservations anyway. Let’s throw away regrets.]
“Why?”
[I already played with Ryu Seo-yeon in < Fortress > and < Nether > clan. [From the Bupyeong-gu side.]
The gates that can be conquered solo are up to level 3.
Up to level 2, one S-level hunter and one clan or three or more clans must form an alliance to enter.
“Hmm… well, there’s nothing we can do. “Then where am I going with the clan?”
[wait. Let’s see… Ah, the < Kite > guild.]
It was one of the Big 10 that sent a scouting offer to Daesung not long ago.
Of course, there was no reply to that suggestion. Daesung was not happy about having to join forces with people he thought he would never see again.
And as long as they form an alliance and pursue a strategy, sharing the profits will also be inevitable.
‘Now that it’s like this, I guess I’ll have to figure out how to get my share even a little more.’
This is an individual and < Kite > is a large group.
He had no choice but to overwhelm the group and take unrivaled credit.
And Daesung had enough confidence to do so.
Because he didn’t waste his time in hell to the point of giving his share to a few phantoms.
“okay. See you later.”
[I’ll go there now. Let’s eat together.]
Beep –
Daesung hung up the phone and prepared to go outside.
Usually, a hunter ahead of an attack would check equipment or stabilize the flow of Aurors to be used in the field, but Daesung was different.
All I had to do was lightly wash my face and change clothes like someone going out for a walk.
That was when he was checking his cell phone battery.
The front door opened and Jisoo came in with a troubled face
.
“huh?”
Daesung raised his eyebrows.
Not long ago, thanks to Daesung, she was able to enroll in the most famous qualification exam academy in Daechi-dong.
And today is the first day of school, so I was just leaving the house.
“what’s the matter.”
“Oh brother. That’s… I can’t go out because of the people outside…”
“…?”
Daesung went straight to the living room and looked down the glass window.
And the moment I saw the feast of reporters who had gathered there like a swarm of bees and were camped out, leaving the residents completely stranded.
“You rude bastards.”
Daesung, whose blood was rushing to the top of his head, went straight out to the veranda and immediately jumped over the railing.
“Oh brother!”
The moment when Jisoo was startled by the sudden leap of faith and ran to the veranda and tried to put her head under the railing.
Whiing-
“Kyaa!”
The whirlwind created by the flapping wings made her flinch backwards.
It was an annihilating dragon.
When the dragon appeared on the upper floor of the Tower Palace, the reporters below looked up with a buzz.
“It’s a cold weather hunter!”
“What are you doing! Take a picture of that quickly!”
“Uh huh? Everyone step back! “It’s coming down this way!”
Anyway, they know that Daesung is a dragon.
So I wasn’t embarrassed at all and instead just pressed the camera shutter as if I had gotten a good photo.
yet.
Boom –
the annihilating dragon landed in the spot created by the reporters’ procession moving back.
Choo-choo-choo-
A barrage of flashes that explode like lightning and crowds of people rushing in at once.
I thought I knew why Jisoo was so scared.
“After you became S-class, your debut stage has been decided. Please tell us what you think!”
“Aren’t you very nervous because you are going to attack the level 2 gate?”
“This is your first time working with the < Kite > guild. If the results are good, do you have any intention of joining < Kite >?”
Before Daesung could even say anything, they all tangled together like wild dogs let off a leash and pushed the microphone in.
Even this is in front of someone else’s house.
Even though there was no separate interview request sent in advance.
“….”
Okay, that’s good.
This is the first proper stage after being promoted to S class.
As journalists, there is no better scoop than this.
Let’s say you can understand that position by giving in a hundred times.
but.
“You guys.”
That obsession and obsessive work ethic even interfered with Jisoo’s most important day, even to unrelated family members.
My stomach was boiling and I couldn’t sit still.
At Daesung’s first remark, which only included ‘you’, the audience fell silent and focused on the subsequent remarks.
And the backstory continued.
“Do you think this dragon I’m riding won’t bite humans?”
「…?」
At the moment when no one understood the true meaning of that statement.
Daeseong gave a command through his mind, and the annihilating dragon tilted its head back sharply.
Ooooh-!
[The Annihilator uses Dragon Fear!]
[All abilities of the target caught in the Fear are reduced by 30%.]
“Huh…?!”
“Now wait…!”
That moment.
The roar of the annihilating dragon echoed around the area, and the reporters who were the targets of the peerage shuddered and swallowed their high-pitched screams.
It is not a fear that makes you scream and cause pain.
It was a warning that made my hands and feet tremble and sent chills down my spine. The reporters
, fluttering,
fluttering, fluttering,
and that deadly warning seeping into their bodies, each fell down on their butts or dropped their broadcast cameras because their hands were so weak.
The reporters who had been chattering like baby birds asking for food all turned blue and kept their mouths shut.
Perhaps because of the gust-like aftermath, not a single camera was operating properly.
The only thing I managed to hold on to without dropping it was that the lens was cracked and the monitor was scratched.
Daesung spoke in a bloody atmosphere where reporters were extremely discouraged.
“If it’s an interview, I’ll agree. “If only the place weren’t here.”
No one could respond.
Normally, out of revenge, I would have written an article tomorrow saying, ‘That guy was rude,’ but now I couldn’t even bring myself to do that.
“From now on, don’t come to my door again without my permission. “Because then it won’t end here.”
Daesung clearly warned.
And there was no one there who had the courage to go against the warning and demonstrate the spirit of journalism.
***
The Grade 2 gate that appeared in Ansan City was classified as ‘normal type’.
Unlike the ‘swarm type’ or ‘survival type’, which are called irregular or mutant, this is an ordinary gate as its name suggests.
Of course, since it is a 2nd grade gate, the expression ‘normal’ may not be appropriate, but it is true that it is better than the ‘survival’ 2nd grade gate in Bupyeong anyway.
“If we work with Han Dae-seong, at least we won’t fail in our attack. It may be impossible to achieve zero casualties, but…”
This was the reason why < Kite >, which had less experience in conquering level 2 gates than the other Big 10, started the attack without hesitation.
Now that < Red Demon > has disappeared and < Soul > has lost its cornerstone and is creaking.
< Kite > needed to step up even a little more.
“….”
“But why did you look like that before, Captain? Are you feeling uncomfortable in some way?”
Park Seon-il, vice-leader of < Kite >, asked leader Beom-seok Oh.
An important day to spread the clan’s reputation and expand its presence.
Oh Beom-seok’s expression was full of dissatisfaction.
“I don’t like it.”
“What?”
“I mean Han Dae-seong.”
“yes?”
It was a random thing.
I remember that Daesung didn’t do anything that would be reprehensible to < Kite >.
Furthermore.
“It’s an opportunity to play on the same field as the talent I wanted to recruit. But why now and suddenly…”
“He’s the talent I wanted to recruit. But in the end, we weren’t able to recruit him.”
“Is that so?”
“It’s because we don’t like the idea of playing with a rookie who doesn’t even have the reins. “My stomach hurts a bit.”
“Well, you can’t force a choice. And Han Dae-seong, you didn’t join any clan in the end, right? “What’s wrong with having a stomach ache?”
“Oh, that’s because you’re cocky.”
Although it was ranked third from the back among the Big 10, < Kite > was a clan famous for being very noble and proud.
And more than 90% of the reasons for that evaluation are due to the high pride of general manager Oh Beom-seok.
“I was shivering and waiting on that cold day, but I ended up chewing it.”
“Hmm, that was a bit out of the ordinary. “I admit it.”
“Didn’t we have the best contract conditions?”
“Yeah, but… So what’s the point? Captain, we have to dive to the dead zone in one hour. “I understand how you feel, but let’s not lose strength already.”
It’s not even level 3, it’s just an hour away from entering the level 2 gate.
It was a shame because I was non-religious, but if I was involved in some religion, I would have been praying to the god I believed in.
“I don’t like it, so let’s go in and secretly kill the team.”
“Hey, are you crazy? The joke is real too. Are we guys like < Hongma >? “No matter how hateful and pathetic a person may seem, you shouldn’t do something like that, man.”
“Of course it’s a joke. “You’re overreacting.”
“instead.”
We have no intention of using threatening or coercive measures.
It just shows.
“Let me tell you clearly. No matter how much an S-class member runs wild alone, an individual cannot be superior to a group. And it makes you regret it.”
“At that time, when I was scouted, did people say something like this about getting into < Kite >?”
“yes.”
“Well… after listening to it, I feel a bit dizzy too.”
Currently, except for Seo Dong-cheol and Baek Harin, the remaining S-class members are all solo hunters who do not belong to a clan.
Park Seon-il was secretly dissatisfied with what that meant.
The haughty pride that said, ‘I’m strong so I won’t belong anywhere’ made my eyes bleed.
In front of the Seoul Arts Center in Gojan-dong, Danwon-gu.
Reporters from five broadcasting companies and about 30 < Kite > staff were gathered there.
Now, once we arrive at Daeseong Bay, the full-scale rush begins.
With the cameras focused, Oh Beom-seok turned to the group of thirty-something members and shouted.
“S-class is such a big deal! “Let’s show our true colors!”
Wow-!
A thunderous and energetic shout followed.
at that time.
Buuung-
An Audi crossed the barricade and entered the restricted area.
“It’s a cold weather hunter!”
The moment a shout came out from the mouth of a sharp-witted reporter.
Cham-chan-chan-!
Dozens of camera lenses aimed at < Kite > suddenly focused on Daesung, who was just getting out of the car.
Just like that, the surroundings of < Kite > became empty in the blink of an eye.
Oh Beom-seok’s temple twitched as he felt a sense of shame.
“That cocky bastard really.”
