Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 67

# 67

067

A gas station in Seongnam City that has been barricaded to prevent people from accessing it.

“Ha~ cancer. Ugh…”

One of the soldiers let out a bored yawn as he was greeted by the chilly morning air.

Behind him, a standard level 3 gate was resonating powerfully.

He was ordered by his superiors to guard the gate in the area and guide the hunters who came as part of the attack party.

It wasn’t a difficult mission at all since it didn’t involve going through the gate and fighting monsters, but just standing still and working.

But saying it wasn’t difficult also meant that it was insanely boring.

“I want to drink…”

As I smelled the social atmosphere, all kinds of distracting thoughts swirled around me.

That time when he looked up at the clear sky without a single cloud.

“huh?”

The soldier’s eyes widened indifferently.

There was definitely some black smoke flying through the clear, cloudless sky.

“What is that?”

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the sky again, wondering if it was in vain.

However, the large black smoke that was clearly visible even from this direction was definitely not a mistake.

no.

Saaagh-!

Rather, coming down this way…?

“Ughhh-!”

The soldier was startled and took a step back.

Hung –

The black fog that reached the ground spread out like steam.

In an instant, the inside of an ordinary gas station was covered in darkness, as if a large curtain had been shrouded in it.

“Uh, uh…”

If this strange phenomenon happened today, the cause would be obvious.

It must be a monster.

Clap!

The soldier hurriedly finished loading his rifle and pointed the tip of the gun in the direction of the smoke.

The soldier swallowed his dry saliva, glaring at the black smoke that was spreading out violently like that of dry ice.

at that time.

Saaagh-!

Pot-!

The eerie black smoke swirled like a whirlwind for a short moment and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

there.

Boom –

A skeleton knight wearing a crown of thorns appeared with heavy footsteps.

“Huh…”

The soldier felt as if his heart stopped for a moment.

Just a skeleton knight.

Isn’t there a group of zombies that look like they’re covered in ink behind a huge figure two heads taller than a gas tank?

“Our Father who art in heaven…”

The soldier, overcome with extreme fear, began shaking his legs like an aspen tree.

The power and lethality of the huge skeleton knight seemed to be weighing down my entire body.

At that time, the soldier was so scared that he couldn’t even pull the trigger of the rifle.

“Don’t make a fuss and get out of the way.”

The Skeleton Knight opened his mouth.

The voice was so deep that it felt like every hair on his body would be pulled out.

The soldier finally opened his mouth with tears in his eyes.

“Yes yes…?”

“I came under orders from my lord to get into that ball thing behind you.”

Skull –

The Skeleton Knight raised his finger and pointed to the gate over the soldier’s shoulder.

“It is said that one o’clock is urgent. “Get out of the way quickly.”

“Who gave that order…?”

Thanks to the faint glimmer of reason that remained, the soldier was able to muster the courage to ask such a question.

Anyway, he also belongs to the Ministry of Defense and carries a mission.

Isn’t it impossible to just let monsters whose identity you don’t know enter the gate?

The Skeleton Knight tilted his head, brightening his purple eyes.

“Who gave the order? Isn’t it natural? “Of course he is my lord.”

“So who is that master?”

“He is a person whose name should not be mentioned carelessly.”

“What is that-”

before the soldier finished speaking.

Crackling –

a communication tone rang out from the walkie-talkie attached to his waist.

< Chijik- Currently, black smoke is blowing across Seongnam City in the area where the gate appears. >

“….”

< They are all summoned by the representative hunter Dae-seong Han. There is no problem if something jumps out of the black smoke, so just let it pass through the gate. >

Cold sweat rolled down the soldier’s cheek after hearing the radio sound.

Come to think of it, I had vaguely heard of it.

Recently, a new law that cannot be found anywhere in the world that has hunters has been registered with the association.

as soon as.

It was a law that recognized the right to attack, allowing summoned beasts of Han Dae-seong hunters to enter the gate.

‘Then surely?’

The moment the accident reached that point.

Only then did the gun aimed at the Skeleton Knight slowly fall down.

“So those people over there are the summons of Hunter Daeseong Han…?”

“We are not his summons, but his faithful servants. And don’t mention your master’s name carelessly in your mouth.”

“Uh… yes, yes….”

The soldier reacted awkwardly and quietly stepped aside.

Chuck, chuck!

Then the Skeleton Knight and his zombies approached the gate, maintaining a neat formation.

“Hey, but you have to sign here…!”

Only then did the soldier come to his senses and hold out the documents.

Ugh –

they had already finished entering the gate and disappeared.

dump!

“Ugh….”

It felt like a storm had passed.

The soldier, whose legs were completely weakened by tension, collapsed down in a sweaty state.

***

The gate Daesung entered was a dark jungle with only the moonlight dimly illuminating the ground.

It was so dark that you couldn’t even see your own feet without a flashlight, and the roads were rough because there were huge trees on all sides of the field.

The butterfly girl said, fidgeting with her hands.

[Ugh… I can’t see anything. There is an item called ‘Angelo’s Lamp’ in the store. How about lighting the way a little bit with that?]

“This much darkness isn’t even darkness. “It’s a waste of merit points.”

[ah! Indeed…]

When he was in hell, he accidentally ate a plant that made him blind, so he was blind for a whole week and fought against demonic beasts.

Compared to back then, this level of darkness was no problem.

[I dare not recognize the true character of my lord and made a mistake. Please forgive me.]

“That’s enough.”

Daesung thought it would be better if he stopped messing around with him because he was so crazy.

Daesung, who figured out the usefulness of the butterfly girl yesterday, said that it was enough and tried to put her into a subspace.

However, the Butterfly Girl, who was not an object or object, could not enter subspace.

Thanks to this, an annoying thing became stuck next to me.

The moment Daesung turned his head towards the butterfly girl and was about to order her to shut up.

I was suddenly speechless.

“You…”

[Why are you doing this?]

“What should I call you from now on?”

[ah! Do you mean my name? I am a being who has received the Lord’s grace and been given a new life. Please name it whatever you wish!]

“Then a fly would be better.”

[Fly…!]

A shadow fell on the face of the butterfly girl who was smiling brightly.

Soon the butterfly girl pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled.

[Nalpari… I think Nalpari is a very good name. Seong-eun is devastated….]

“You don’t look like that on your face.”

Sabak –

In silence where only the sound of stepping on the dirt floor spreads.

Daesung thought of the legions of death that had spread throughout each area before entering the gate.

‘You’re doing well, right?’

Ghost King… No, now he has been subordinated to Daeseong and has been stripped of the title ‘King’.

Commander Dolph.

Dolph, who has now become such a name, would have been leading the command soldiers to subdue gates throughout Seongnam City under Daesung’s orders.

‘For the most difficult level 3 survival type, Dolph will be enough… The next most difficult level 3 legion type can be closed with soldiers led by Gedrak.’

There was a limit to the number of raiders who could enter each gate.

This is because, regardless of administrative issues, there was a limit to the entry of outside entities that the gate could accept.

In order to meet the limit of 16 gates, there was no choice but to select strong troops that could reliably attack the gates from among the thousands of command corps.

[They will certainly be able to carry out their master’s orders.]

“Yes. “I think so.”

I know because I fought.

The command corps led by Dolph are immortal soldiers who are beyond defeat and completely unaware of death itself.

It was a power that I could trust with confidence.

“Those guys are the ones. “I should focus on my job.”

There is now a time limit of 1 hour.

There was no time to laze around.

Since it is a normal type, there must be a boss monster somewhere that can close the gate.

‘I need to take on the boss first without wasting time with the minor soldiers.’

That was when Daesung decided to move forward.

Swish-!

A sharply angled stone flew from somewhere, splitting the dark pitch black.

Pak-!

Daesung simply raised his right hand and caught the rock without even looking at the direction from which the surprise attack came.

At the same time.

Steam

began to rise from the skin of the palm holding the stone.

“Did you apply poison?”

[Lord, Lord!]

“No fuss.”

Daesung reacted indifferently and turned his head in the direction from which the stone came.

However, the guy who had launched the surprise attack had already left the spot, and all I could see in the direction of my gaze was pitch black and a huge tree without a single ray of light.

“That’s how it comes out.”

[Well, you need to get treatment first… Huh?]

The butterfly girl, who was trying to open the store window and search for recovery items, was startled.

This was because Daesung’s palm, whose skin had melted just a few seconds ago, was recovering at a considerable speed.

[Wow…]

While the butterfly girl was mesmerized and amazed by the amazing sight.

Jiing-

Daesung’s eyes were turning purple.

[Activates the Eye of the Witcher.]

It was the moment when my eyes opened, capable of tenaciously finding the faces of my enemies even in any darkness.

‘The enemies are constantly moving.’

Daesung’s senses were heightened as he threw a rock with a lot of poison on its surface.

And it looked clear.

Sasasak-!

A spider-shaped brand is moving quickly between towering giant trees.

It was a monster that looked like an ape.

Kid, a grade 3 bipedal monster.

They were similar to the Swamp Orcs in that they did not often engage in full-scale warfare, but rather moved around terrain to carry out surprise attacks.

There is one thing that is different from orcs.

‘You’re clever.’

The point was that they were smarter than orcs.

At least they didn’t stand still at the spot where they foolishly carried out a surprise attack like the orcs did.

Even the slightest trace of his presence was thoroughly concealed through his agile movements.

‘I can’t even catch the fortune teller’s eyes very well.’

Unfortunately, the master’s eyes did not even have a clairvoyant function.

If he hides behind a large tree like that, the spider pattern will naturally be hidden by the large tree.

[In order to make a surprise attack, the opponent will inevitably have to stick his head out of the giant tree!]

The butterfly girl, who seemed more nervous than Daesung himself, clenched his fists and shouted.

[Take advantage of the opportunity when the opponent withdraws his head to counterattack]

However, the butterfly girl’s words, which she tried to spit out in her own way, failed to put emphasis on it.

Swish-!

A rock thrown from Daeseong’s hand grazed the butterfly girl’s temple and pierced the darkness beyond.

puck-!

Keekeeek-!!

And at the same time that a scream resounded as if a pig had been cut off, a kid with a broken head fell from the top of a large tree.

[….]

The sound of a stone cutting through the wind echoed in her ears, causing the butterfly girl’s complexion to turn pale blue.

But what was more shocking than that was Daesung’s reflexes.

He caught Kid’s movement outside of his field of vision and twisted his waist to throw the rock.

Exactly on the head.

Even in this darkness.

[The enemy must have been in the master’s blind spot…?]

“I guess they thought I wouldn’t be able to catch even a rampaging monkey like that, right?”

Eat.

Daeseong smiled and continued walking on his way.

“Skills are only helpful.”

***

Meanwhile.

Above the cold, snowy area, there was a group of bipedal monsters with sharp icicles like needles.

This is inside a level 2 survival gate.

Heh heh

heh heh heh

monster cold man.

They were spitting out a faint cold air from their mouths and waiting for their prey to enter the gate.

gulp!

Some of them were so hungry that they made obvious swallowing noises.

I wanted to quickly kill my prey, cut off the flesh, and quench my thirst with the blood.

For those who live in cold places and eat only frozen meat as their staple food, warm blood is a delicacy.

At that time, the cold men who ruled this area were staring intently at the gate entrance.

Ugh-

huh-!

Finally, the gate entrance began to open.

The appearance of prey!

The impatient Cold Men bared their teeth and prepared to attack… but as soon as they saw the prey that had crossed the

gate

and entered the field, their ferocious momentum died down in an instant.

It was worth it.

Huh-?

Because the person who came through the gate was not the ‘human’ they knew.

Drop, drop, drop –

it was a procession of zombies with rotten flesh and a large skeleton wearing armor and a sword.

Huh-

huh…?

Some cold men expressed doubts about the appearance of an unexpected being, and among them there were some who expressed disappointment.

That way, there is no flesh to eat and no warm blood to drink.

Huh…

First of all, it was clear that it was not a target to attack.

They must be warriors living in the same ‘world’ as themselves.

I don’t know how I was able to get through this gate, but it’s okay if you ask me directly. A

Cold

Man, who was reigning as a corps commander, approached the Skeleton Knight.

Cold Man looked up at the skeleton knight riding a black horse with bare bones and asked in the language that residents of the same world use.

‘What’s going on here-’

But before those words were even finished.

Fuuuk-!

Huh?!

The strange-looking skeleton knight’s sword pierced Coldman’s chest without question.

‘….’

‘….’

The other Cold Men who were watching the scene froze.

dump!

Looking down at the helpless Cold Man, bleeding blue blood, the Skeleton Knight… No, Commander Dolph spoke in a voice colder than frost.

“Exterminate.”

The moment the corps commander’s signature fell.

A dozen command soldiers lined up behind Dolph raised their spears and raised their swords and shouted.

Oh my gosh-!!

Grumbling-!!

The new models of the commanding soldiers who began their advance with a loud roar began to burn fiercely, as if they had thrown oil into a torch.

Madness.

The leader of the Legion of Death had a unique power that turned his dead into fierce hunting dogs.

Doo doo doo doo!!

Every time a fire-flaming command soldier rushed in, the ground shook and the snow melted.

Huh-

huh…!

In the face of that overwhelming fierceness, the Cold Men lost confidence and tried to retreat.

Kwasik-!

Sigh-!

The spear knife that stuck out through the sharp wind mercilessly ravaged the guys’ hearts and heads.

On top of the frozen ground that was completely white.

The bright red crimson flames spread like a contagious disease.

***

KHA Headquarters Chairman’s Office.

Association President Park Jeong-ho had been stomping his feet anxiously since the morning breeze.

Secretary Lee Ha-won, who was standing next to him, handed him a cup of black coffee and said.

“What are you so anxious about?”

“It’s a good thing as long as you don’t feel anxious. “I feel like my head is going to explode right now.”

“Is it because of work? An official document of this size seems to be on the smaller side than usual, but…”

“No. “That’s not the problem.”

He had just received a preliminary report from an employee on his way to work.

I heard last night that Daesung had reserved all 16 gates in Seongnam City.

“Hey, Director Lee. “I don’t know… I don’t know what this person’s intentions are.”

“It is the most unconventional move in recent times.”

“What do you think this means?”

“Well, maybe…”

Lee Ha-won tilted his head and conveyed his guess.

“Isn’t this an example of some kind?”

“example?”

“Recently, a law was enacted that recognizes the right to attack Hunter Daeseong Han’s summoned beasts, right?”

“yes.”

“It was passed successfully at the board meeting, but there will definitely be opposition among the clans. Especially in this case, from the < Nether > clan.”

“…That too.”

Non-human beings such as summoned creatures have the right to attack the gate.

In other words, it means that multitasking, where one hunter can attack multiple gates, has become possible.

There is bound to be backlash.

Hunters will feel like their workplaces are disappearing, and large clans will feel the threat of their gardens shrinking.

“In such an atmosphere, Hunter Han Dae-seong wants to clearly show those who voice opposition.”

“’Don’t criticize my actions arbitrarily’… What?”

“Hehe, yes.”

Chief Secretary Lee Ha-won covered his mouth with his hand and smiled faintly. It seems that Park Jung-ho’s strange vocal imitation that came out unconsciously was funny.

Park Jeong-ho, who was embarrassed for no reason, cleared his throat and spoke.

“…But in order for that message to be conveyed clearly, the summoned beasts would have to completely succeed in conquering the gate…”

Daesung did not need to worry.

Since he is the one who calmed down the level 2 gate fracture overnight, he will subdue the level 3 gates in Seongnam City as if it were a given.

However, just because Daeseong is strong, there is no guarantee that the summons he commands will also be strong.

And if the summons fail to attack the gate…?

“It’s already noisy because of the recent Dogok-dong incident, but I don’t want another fracture to occur.”

“Don’t be too nervous, let’s trust Hunter Han Dae-seong’s judgment.”

“I hope that judgment is not wrong…”

Park Jeong-ho sighed softly, took a sip of coffee, and then leaned his back on the back of the chair.

Right then.

Tiring-!

Tiring-!

Suddenly, the computer in the chairman’s chair started beeping like crazy with messenger notification sounds.

“What is it?”

It was a messenger used only to receive reports from employees below.

He was concerned about the subjugation situation at the Seongnam City Gate and delivered an order to his employees this morning.

Post a report immediately each time Seongnam City’s 16 gates close one by one.

It was to gain peace of mind.

But suddenly, messenger alarms started flooding in.

‘no way…?’

Park Jeong-ho moved the mouse with trembling hands and clicked on the messenger.

As expected, the messenger was full of reports posted by employees.

And the contents of that report.

< The grade 4 regular gate on the Jungwon-gu elementary school side has been closed. >

< The grade 4 regular gate on the large department store side in Jungwon-gu has been closed. >

< One grade 3 military gate on the Bundang side has been closed. >

< Suseong-gu side.... >

< . ... >

It was enough to turn Park Jeong-ho’s mind completely white.

There were a total of 9 messengers announcing the completion of the subjugation.

More than half of the sixteen gates.

“….”

This was the first time something like this had happened in my 10 years as president of the association.

I swear to you, I have never received reports of a gate subjugation all at once like this.

Lee Ha-won, who checked the messenger, looked quite surprised and was speechless.

gulp.

Park Jeong-ho asked Lee Ha-won, crying his uvula.

“Ha, how many minutes have passed since Hunter Daeseong Han placed the summons?”

“That’s it…”

Lee Ha-won glanced at the wall clock in the chairman’s office and answered quietly, shedding a drop of cold sweat.

“I think about 15 minutes have passed.”
