Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 66
# 66

The count reaches 1 second, just before the Fire Flame Greatsword splits the Butterfly Girl’s head in half.
The system window that suddenly appeared in front of the butterfly girl stopped her voice.
“…Heavenly Store?”
A system window with a border wrapped in a gold band and emitting brilliant light.
It was a type of system that I had seen a few times after clearing the materialization quest not long ago.
Now that I think about it, the Transcendant sent messages like synchronization before hatching into the Butterfly Girl and that the system was updated.
While Daesung was concentrating on the new UI that suddenly appeared, the butterfly girl shouted in a tone full of desperation.
[Now, I don’t remember the details, but I am clearly aware that my bloodline is rooted in the heavenly dimension!]
“So.”
[If you, my lord, show magnanimity and spare this lowly life, I will offer you everything that is monopolized by heavenly creatures!] “….” If the
butterfly
girl was transformed into a demonic beast through the system of hell, Now, those words aren’t just excuses or bravado made up in a hurry to avoid the situation.
In fact, didn’t she create a new UI called ‘Shop Window’ like this?
It was quite refreshing to see someone other than yourself activating a system message.
“Can’t I directly view this store window… or rather, the system that originated from the heavenly dimension?”
[Please tell me, Prince Hwang, but I must personally view and update the heavenly system. Of course, I have to do what my lord tells me to do, so in reality, there is no big difference from my lord directly controlling the heavenly system…] The butterfly girl trailed off, carefully examining
Daesung’s complexion.
It was an expression of earnest hope that this would properly convey his usefulness to the Absolute.
‘I’ll have to take a good look at it.’
The important thing is not the store window itself, but what is contained here.
The moment he placed his finger on the floating store window in front of him.
Tiring –
The text in the UI was rearranged and three more items began to appear in a row.
[Item] [Skill] [Information]
It was so easy to understand that there was no need to understand the meaning.
Daesung first looked at the item category, but…
‘I can’t see anything that looks useful right now.’
Most of them were weapons or armor used by heavenly soldiers, or elixirs that temporarily improved physical performance or gave blessings.
However, there was no need for Daeseong, who had the Fire Flame Greatsword and Valarc’s armor, to purchase the weapons and armor they used.
The same goes for elixirs.
‘The skills are no different.’
< Skill Information >
Orkiel’s Wings Lv.1
[You can glide by spreading Orchiel’s wings for a certain period of time.] [
When using the skill, additional blessing magic is granted to the caster.]
[When the skill level improves Up to 10 types of blessing magic are added each time.]
< Skill Information >
Lemuet’s Condemnation Lv.1
[Summons a multi-pronged chain scythe of light extending from the caster’s back.]
[The chain scythe automatically tracks enemies. It attacks.]
[The number of chain scythes increases each time the skill level improves.]
From a combat perspective, it may not be a bad skill.
However, I didn’t feel the need to purchase this by paying expensive public points.
in conclusion.
“First of all, both item skills are useless to me.”
[Ah, you may still be like that, but if you wait a little while for me to grow, a skill or item you will like will definitely appear!]
“Growing?”
After hearing those words, Daesung looked closely at the store window again.
‘It’s locked.’
When I scrolled down the UI where skills and item items were listed, I saw that both items and skills were locked so that no information could be viewed at exactly one-third of the scroll.
Considering the context, the only way to unlock this lock is through Butterfly Girl’s growth.
As Daesung scratched his chin and furrowed his eyebrows, the butterfly girl quickly added an additional explanation.
[To be exact, every time the Transcendant is eliminated and the system is updated, the stores are unlocked one by one.]
“Really?”
Daesung replied harshly.
Anyway, I wasn’t very impressed because I couldn’t see anything that could be helpful right now.
After completing his search for items and skills, Daesung’s gaze eventually settled on the last category.
‘Maybe this is…’
It’s about ‘information’.
‘It might be of some use.’
In general, most people will feel more secure in purchasing skills or items that are clearly visible and can be used permanently rather than purchasing volatile information.
But Daesung was different.
For him, who already had powerful items and skills so he had nothing to regret, the fact that he could ‘purchase’ information that could not be easily obtained through normal methods was rather attractive.
‘It’s worth finding out.’
Deciding so, he touched the information category with his finger.
[Information Purchase]
* We provide the most helpful information to buyers.
* The information provided is valid for 24 hours from the time of purchase.
* Information can be purchased once a day.
[Do you want to purchase information? Yes / No]
‘If 24 hours from the time of purchase is the effective range, then I won’t be able to get the answer I wanted after all.’
The identity of those in heaven.
And the plan that the person named Ju-Jin harbors.
The Pantheon and what is happening in Hell, etc.
‘…Let’s not be impatient.’
I really don’t like the idea of not being able to solve a question I want an answer to right away.
But if you think about it another way, it doesn’t mean something big will happen if you don’t find out right away.
‘You just have to learn about it slowly, one by one.’
If there is no way to find out right away anyway, it would be foolish to continue to hang in there and suffer.
After emptying his mind, Daesung put aside his questions for a moment and focused on ‘purchasing information’ again.
Even I don’t know what information I need within the 24-hour validity period, so what kind of information will appear if I ‘purchase information’?
That pure curiosity, combined with his doubts about whether the store window was working properly, made him move his hand.
[Purchasing information requires a total of 100,000 public points.]
Is it because of the uniqueness of being able to purchase only once a day?
It was a very expensive price compared to the fact that the merit points required for the most valuable skills and items did not exceed five figures.
Of course, it’s not that you don’t have enough points to make purchases.
[Current achievement points: 2300000pt]
Daesung burst into laughter.
‘You’ve accumulated a lot.’
In preparation for the license exam, I accumulated several item materializations over a period of 10 days, as well as a total of two field materialization quests, and accumulated achievement points.
Actually, I was a little curious.
I knew that achievement points were given as a reward every time I completed a quest, but I didn’t know how the points were actually used.
‘If you quietly do your job, you will someday get the answer you want.’
Daesung, reflecting on that truth again, paid 100,000 points and pressed the ‘purchase’ button.
That moment.
Whoa!
A few bright golden feathers burst out from the store window and fluttered through the dark alley.
The golden feathers fluttering in the air soon began to gather at one point and clump together, gradually turning into a document about the size of an A4 sheet.
[A Void Record is created.]
Sarak –
Document The Void Record gently landed on Daesung’s palm.
“….”
Daesung unfolded the blank book neatly so that it was easy to read and fixed his eyes on the words written there.
He didn’t think it was a big deal until he started reading the first line.
It was simply curiosity to see what information was written.
however.
[Lord, Lord?]
The butterfly girl looked restlessly at Daesung.
It was worth it.
As soon as he started reading the words in the empty book, Daesung’s expression began to become noticeably grim.
***
The next morning.
The headquarters of the < Nether > guild, which is said to be the best in the country in terms of the number of members among the Big 10 large-scale clans.
Boom boom!
Footsteps filled with anger echoed across the office floor.
A man with a thin body and various piercings on his face nervously headed to the sales department.
“Are you working or not?”
Kang Ki-beom, a man with piercings, shouted in a voice full of anger and slammed his palm down on the desk.
The sales team employee shook his shoulders and let out a small moan.
“No, that’s… Managing Director Kang. First, calm down and-”
“Calm down? “You obviously know that there is a joint training for new crew members today, but the word ‘calm’ is coming out of your mouth right?”
Not only in < Nether >, but also in most well-established clans, there was a long-standing tradition that all new members had to undergo joint training in their first year of joining.
And joint training is usually conducted by actually entering the gate and engaging in actual combat.
however.
“Right now, training is today, but how can it be possible that we haven’t made a gate reservation yet!”
“Managing Director Kang, but….”
“But? But what! How many people are there in the sales department right now, but they can’t secure a level 4 survival gate on schedule? “There are level 4 and 5 gates that are widespread!”
Increasing the power of the fresh-faced rookie operator was a problem that was directly related to the influence of the entire clan.
Saying that the joint training schedule was disrupted was the same as saying that soldiers who would be deployed to the battlefield within a few days could not train.
It wasn’t strange for Kang Ki-beom to be hysterical with twinkles in his eyes.
but.
There was no way the people who were supposedly the sales team of a large clan were truly incompetent and couldn’t make a gate reservation.
The sales team member almost cried as if he was feeling unfairly treated.
“But, Director Kang. “Uh, last night, someone suddenly bought all the tickets to a nearby gate at once…”
“What?”
Kang Ki-beom was momentarily speechless.
The term ‘person’ purchased all at once means that one person has reserved multiple gates.
It is an act that does not make sense through common sense.
“What is the name of the person who bought the ticket?”
“The person who lived is Seong Chan-ho, but the representative is Han Dae-seong…”
“Han Dae-seong? If it’s the Cold Stream… is it the Cold Stream I know? Recently promoted to S class?”
The sales team employee just nodded without saying a word.
Kang Ki-beom, who couldn’t believe it at all, put his head towards the computer monitor on his desk.
On the ticket purchase page, all gates in Seongnam City were clearly reserved under the name ‘Handaeseong’.
Everything, leaving nothing behind.
‘Why is this person suddenly doing such crazy things?’
No matter how hard I racked my brain, I couldn’t figure out a reason to do something like this.
Thinking that his anger might have eased a bit now that he knew the situation, the sales team employee quietly asked Kang Ki-beom.
“Ah, anyway, since things have come to this, it would be better to postpone the joint training, right? Gates in other areas are under the jurisdiction of other clans, so you can’t mess with them…”
“Smoke? “Who wants it?”
“yes?”
“The gate under this jurisdiction has been invaded. But are you saying we should just quietly comply and postpone our training schedule? “You’re not going to buy Gao either?”
Seongnam City is the garden of < Hello Heaven >.
Among powerless clans and solo hunters, there was an unwritten rule that gates in Seongnam City should not be arbitrarily secured without permission from the < Nether >.
It was the so-called ‘territoriality’.
But now a thief who does not pay the territorial tax has appeared.
Kang Ki-beom bit his lip and glared fiercely at the three letters of Han Dae-seong’s name displayed on the monitor.
“Director Kang. Since the representative is an S-class hunter, wouldn’t it be better to just quietly move on this time?”
“S-class hunter?”
The moment Kang Ki-beom asked a question.
Ah,
the sales team employee felt a shiver run down his spine.
The A-class hunter’s fishy life filled the spacious office.
“Even if you’re a fucking S-class, you have to obey the industry norms.”
***
Same time.
An Audi entered near Pangyo Station in Seongnam-si.
Barricades had already been set up near the subway station, so there were almost no people except soldiers and special police officers.
Seong Chan-ho asked in a voice full of tension in the heavy silence that blended with the cool morning air.
“What on earth is going on? “This is the first time you’ve asked me for something so urgently.”
“Because there was a reason for that.”
yesternight.
After reading the text in the document through information purchase, Daesung immediately called Chanho Seong and said,
Buy the right to attack all gates in Seongnam City right now.
As Daesung just said, there was a reason why it had to be that way.
‘If the information written in that document is true… we must hurry.’ He opened the car door, got out of the passenger seat, crossed the control line
,
and approached the gate.
Grade 3 normal gate.
It was an ordinary gate that Daesung could have broken through in 10 minutes.
however.
‘There are currently 16 gates in Seongnam City.’
It would be a different story if a total of 16 gates had to be closed at once, from level 3 to level 5, whether it was normal type, survival type, or corps type.
Daesung once again recalled the information he had checked yesterday.
“Tomorrow, a fracture phenomenon will occur simultaneously at all gates in Seongnam City.” “The
time limit until a fracture occurs is approximately 1 hour, excluding survival types.” “
It is possible to change the future by clearing the gate. .」
「If the future recorded in this document occurs as is, direct and indirect damage will occur to users.]
Who would believe that all gates in one city will explode at the same time? Probably ten out of ten people would dismiss it as a lie.
Even Daesung, who received the information, didn’t really feel it.
But if this information is true.
‘We must stop it at all costs.’
Seongnam City is close to Gangnam-gu, where Hyejeong and Jisoo currently live.
If a large group of monsters leaked out due to the 16 gate fractures come to the land where the family lives…
‘I will never tolerate it while my eyes are open.’
Even if four layers of protective measures protect your family.
Just thinking about the fact that those barbaric and vicious monsters were breathing near my family made me feel sick.
It’s best to block such shitty things before they happen.
[Um… my lord. “But how do you plan on closing 16 gates at once?”
‘There is a way.’
A young voice was ringing near his ears.
It was the butterfly girl.
To her question, Daesung only answered the whole sound.
Only Daesung could see the butterfly girl.
The proof was that no one noticed even though it was flying so openly near his head.
Is this similar to how the system is only visible to Daesung’s eyes?
Anyway, that’s not important right now.
[Hmm… But it’s quite strange. How can something like this happen… It doesn’t seem like a simple coincidence…]
‘Yes, this can’t be a coincidence.’
The probability of all 16 gates opening at the same time without any time difference is absolutely 0%.
But wouldn’t it be obvious if something that couldn’t possibly happen was happening so calmly?
‘Someone is intentionally modifying it.’
All that could be said was that an external will interfered.
Of course, finding out who was behind this modification was not something that should be done now.
For now, the priority is to put out the urgent fire first.
Thinking like that, Daesung opened his right hand with his palm facing upward.
and.
“…omg!”
Seong Chan-ho and the soldiers near the gate, who were at the same scene, were shocked.
Because there was a very small, black whirlpool swirling in Daesung’s hand.
Why did the Auror technique suddenly activate outside the gate?
While the soldiers swallowed their saliva and tensed.
“From now on, go to the place I designated and kill everyone within one hour.”
That moment.
Hwaaak –
[The Legion of Death follows the orders of the Absolute.]
The pitch-black vortex quickly dissipated into several branches of black smoke and spread throughout Seongnam City.
