Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 68
# 68
068
Long before Association President Park Jeong-ho could not keep his mouth shut after receiving reports of gate closures pouring in.
Central Park, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si.
One soldier, who looked quite nervous, looked up at the sky.
< Chijik- Delivered once again. The black smoke currently spreading throughout Seongnam City is the summons of cold weather hunters. The officers waiting at each location should not panic and just let them pass. >
The soldier, still with his eyes fixed on the sky, spoke into the radio and responded that he understood.
It was as if the current communication had explained why he was looking at the sky with a tense tension.
black smoke.
And according to the communication that came out through the smoke, a team of summoned creatures looked very similar to monsters.
Soon, like in other areas, black smoke will arrive here, wafting across the sky.
“Ah, damn it… I really hate things like that…”
The soldier was what was called a ‘monster phobe’.
The task of guiding summons that looked similar to monsters to the gate was too burdensome for him, who would get hives on his body and be disgusted when he saw a hideous-looking monster.
While he was looking up at the sky, wishing he had never come here.
Buung-
“Huh?”
Five large pickup trucks passed the barricade and entered the park.
His doubts as he looked at the pickup truck, wondering what was going on, disappeared as soon as he saw the logo engraved on the car body.
Yellow Sky.
It was none other than the Big 10 clan < Hwangcheon > that dominates Seongnam City.
‘Why is < Nether > here?’
The soldier checked the catalog in his hand to see if there had been a mistake.
However, on the document, the name of the representative who reserved the gate was clearly listed as ‘Han Dae-seong’.
Shake! Shake!
The car door of the pickup truck, which had been parked in a hectic manner, opened cheerfully, and members of < Nether > wearing Auror armor appeared one by one.
Among them was a man who looked quite familiar even to the soldiers.
‘Kang Ki-beom?’
Kibeom Kang.
He was called ‘Tiger’ in the world and was a Class A hunter, one of the most skilled in < Nether >, which was famous for its harsh training of new recruits.
‘Then are the people over there new recruits? Or rather, why is Kang Ki-beom here….’
While the soldier was confused.
Kang Ki-beom,
who took the lead with his crew, slowly approached the soldier and spoke to him.
“My name is Kang Ki-beom, the team leader of the 2nd Management Department of the < Nether > Guild.”
“Oh yes yes! Loyalty!”
The soldier quickly came out of his thoughts and showed courtesy to Kang Ki-beom.
Kang Ki-beom laughed and gave the same salute sign and pointed to the people standing in line behind him.
“These are new members who recently joined our team. “Because today is joint training day.”
“yes.”
“So, I’m thinking of using the gate over there as a training ground for our crew. So please let me in.”
“yes?”
For a moment, the soldier looked at Kang Ki-beom with a look of incomprehension.
What did I hear wrong?
No, that can’t be true.
Before asking again, the soldier checked the representative’s name listed in the catalog one more time.
There was no such thing as a mistake.
The soldier cautiously opened his mouth.
“I know, but someone has already reserved the gate here-”
“I know.”
“….”
“I came here knowing. Could it be that I came here without knowing? “Please let me in.”
The soldier could not bear to speak as he faced Kang Ki-beom, who was acting unreasonably with a smiling face.
Even if it is reckless, there is no such recklessness.
It was so absurd that the soldier finally showed Kang Ki-beom the representative’s name written on the document.
“As you can see over here, there is a representative who has already won the bidding rights. “If we let someone in who doesn’t have the right to attack, it would be against the rules-”
“Who is violating the rules now?”
That moment.
The soldier felt.
Saaagh –
A feeling as if something like a huge hand was oppressing one’s five senses.
The hairs on my entire body stood up on end, and a chill of anticipation ran down my spine.
“Are you having trouble judging the situation?”
“Uh, uh…”
“Whoever your superior is, if this kind of talk gets out, you’re going to be in a lot of trouble. ‘A single gate officer was said to have bullied the head of the management department of the < Nether > clan.’”
“That’s it….”
“Choose whether you will break the slightest rule and quietly close your eyes and move on, or whether you will twist the remaining road ahead like a dog.”
An A-class hunter’s auror who looks like he is aiming upright with hundreds of small, sharp needles.
It was not at a level that an ordinary person who was not even awake could handle.
“You may enter here.”
The soldier eventually took a step to the side, his lips quivering.
Kang Ki-beom grinned and patted the soldier on the shoulder before approaching the gate.
The rest of the team followed Kang Ki-beom, passing the soldier who was frozen like a dog in the rain.
At the same time, the humans in the < Nether > disappeared beyond the gate.
Whoa!
Just then, black smoke billowed from far away.
***
Daesung thought as he walked down a forest path immersed in darkness on all sides.
It’s so annoying.
“It’s the field, it’s the monsters…”
Whoosh!
Clap!
A dango coated with extreme poison flew out of the corner of his eye, but Daeseong effortlessly blocked it by tilting the blade of his Yeophwa greatsword at an angle like a wall.
Key profit…!
Kid, who failed in the surprise attack, inadvertently let out a rage and then hurriedly killed the enemy and tried to move the location.
Swish-!
However, Daesung, who had already known the guy’s location, threw the referee’s dagger that had already been placed on his waist between the guy’s eyes.
What a talent…!
Kid, who had run out of breath after screaming, collapsed in the air and fell to the ground.
“Collection.”
Swish-!
The dagger of judgment stuck between Kid’s eyes returned to his hand like a boomerang.
Prevent surprise attacks, identify the enemy’s location, and then kill him.
It was a simple repetition of a simple task.
“At this rate, at what age will we catch the boss and close the gate?”
[It has been exactly 16 minutes and 32 seconds since you entered the gate.]
“Were you counting that again?”
[This lowly servant wants to be of some help to his lord…!]
“You are helping by keeping quiet next to him.”
At Daesung’s solemn words, the butterfly girl fluttered her lively wings.
At that time, Daesung was wondering how he could turn this frustrating war situation around.
Degurrrrr…
Boom! Pubung-!
[Huh…?!]
“….”
Something round rolled towards the spot where Daesung was and exploded with the sound of exploding firecrackers.
Daesung, who thought it was some kind of bomb, frowned and the butterfly girl flinched.
Whoosh –
but it wasn’t a bomb.
Instead, a thick cloud of acrid smoke rose up and instantly engulfed the area around Daesung.
smoke screen.
Shush shush-!!
As soon as the smokescreen spread, the throwing objects that had been flying one or two at a time began to rain down from all directions.
“It comes out like this.”
Whirring!
Daeseong easily held the large sword back and swung it like a nunchuck.
Go go go go!
Every time the great sword drew a parabolic line in the air, the thrown object flying through the smoke hit the broad blade and bounced away helplessly.
Outside the fog.
Key profit-?!
The kids, who were hiding in the dark and making a surprise attack on their prey in the smoke, were shocked by the mesmerizing stunt as if they had been punched in the back.
However, the guys were surprised and wondered how long this thing would last, so they swung their arms without stopping.
Sharpened stone knives, poisoned dumplings, etc.
I threw everything I could throw.
Whilick-!
Kang-!
However, the great sword swung following the snap of Daeseong’s wrist repelled all surprise attacks from outside the fog.
‘It’s not smoke…’
Daesung was keeping his cool while accurately blocking attacks coming from all directions.
‘Is it some kind of powder?’
His narrowed pupils keenly captured the identity of the pure white particles scattered throughout the area.
It was not a smoke-like gas, but a powder that would leave a trace on your palm if you waved your hand.
in other words.
‘It’s dust.’
“Fly.”
[Yes yes! Lord!]
“If you die, won’t I be able to use the store system?”
[If I’m not there, the heaven-related system will also be erased… But don’t worry! I am no different from my lord, the operator of the same system as me!]
“So, as long as I don’t die, you won’t die either?”
[You are correct. I’m sorry for telling you, but why is the girl still alive…?]
“It’s okay if she doesn’t die.” The corners of
Daesung
’s mouth rise.
Pak-!
His new model broke through the fog at once and began racing through the forest at the same speed as a cannonball.
Geek-?!
The Kidds who had ambushed the surrounding enemy were taken aback by the sudden action of the enemy, but soon followed after Daesung.
Sasasak-!
Daesung’s running speed, which ran like a bullet, easily surpassed the speed of Kid, who was running through the forest with his tail wrapped around tree branches.
The roots of the giant trees were all tangled up and the terrain itself was very uneven, but the kids had no idea how they could run smoothly as if they were on flat ground.
I have to tie those feet somehow!
The kids, who were planning to mess up the prey’s path of movement, started randomly throwing out dumplings filled with dust.
Pubububung-! Burbububbung-!
Fishy-!
One step later, the dangoes that fell at Daeseong’s feet exploded all at once, creating a smoke screen.
The explosion was a few beats slow, but the clouds that spread after the explosion easily caught up with his running.
Every time that happened, Daesung’s white seal, shining through the fog, violently burst through the smoke.
Fishy-! pop-! Puff puff puff!
Immediately after the smoke that had been pouring down like heavy rain exploded one after another.
Saaaaa –
When I came to my senses, I saw that the forest, which had been dark due to the darkness, was covered in pure white fog, giving off a gloomy atmosphere.
“I guess this is enough.”
Wow!
Daesung slid 5 meters backwards and came to an abrupt stop.
[Hehehe…!]
The butterfly girl, who was barely able to follow those lightning-like movements, felt like she was dying.
at that time.
grasp-!
Daeseong raised the fire-fire great sword and stirred the dust-filled air.
“You won’t die, but it would still be a good idea to cover your ears.”
[Huh?]
While the butterfly girl was puzzled and did not understand the meaning of those words, Daesung gave a very slight snap to the wrist of his right hand holding the sword.
Like pressing a switch on dynamite.
Click –
Hwareuk –
A moment that lasts less than a second as bright red flames quietly form through the sword of the Fire Flame Great Sword.
Just before a small ember touches the dust in the air, spraying a light burnt smell.
Only then did the butterfly girl realize.
What is Daesung thinking?
[Seol-]
-Before the syllable ‘ma’ continues.
A red backlight flashed across the butterfly girl and Daesung’s faces.
Kugwagwagwang-!!
There was an explosion that felt like the entire sky was collapsing.
Kwagwagwagwang-!!
The waves of explosions spread out from the point where Daeseong stood, mercilessly clearing the ground.
The chain of explosions followed the point where the dust spread, as if biting one after another, and instantly turned the entire forest upside down.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!!
The swirling storm coming from the center of the explosion uprooted the huge trees like weeds and sent them flying away.
There was no need to mention the kids who were hiding in that giant tree and carrying out shallow tricks.
They only recognized that there was a brief flash of light in front of their eyes, and immediately after that, their consciousness became completely black, like a cut-out film.
Kugugugu-
The forest cried.
No, it was disappearing.

“While the attackers are afraid of being sick, kill at least one more animal! Rangers! “You guys shouldn’t just sit back and watch!”
Inside a level 4 normal gate.
The new members of the < Nether > clan were occupying the field under Kang Ki-beom’s leadership.
Since most of them were beginners and this was their first time running through an actual gate, a lot of their inexperience showed.
However, they are also promising rookie hunters who can proudly join the Big 10 clans.
At least I was at a level where I could understand and follow Kang Ki-beom’s commands.
‘Level 4 Normal Type… The best is Survival Type, but it’s still not bad for training rookies.’
Instructor Kang Ki-beom was also leading the crew without any complaints.
Still, just one thing.
There was one thing that I still couldn’t resolve.
‘It’s really true that this crazy thief stole it from me. He must have been S-class and all that.’
The fact that a significant portion of the garden in < Netherworld > was taken away by Daeseong still made my blood rush to the top of my head.
If we look at it objectively, the ‘those who stole it’ would have been Kang Ki-beom, who arbitrarily hijacked a gate that had already been reserved for someone else.
‘I’ll have to let you know when the joint training is over. It’s the morals that any S-class, dog, or human child should adhere to.’
However, Kang Ki-beom did not feel any remorse.
Kang Ki-beom grits his teeth, promising to make sure he gets what he deserves for going out here.
Pak-!
Ahhh-!
Monsters were being eradicated quickly.
It was truly a performance worthy of promising players.
The initial area was organized without much difficulty.
“It’s no big deal?”
“what? Level 4 is easy. “I need to reach level 3 to be successful.”
“Instructor! “Let’s go next time!”
The new crew members laughed and showed off as if they were on a picnic.
Kang Ki-beom said with a grin.
“Hey hey. If you let your guard down like that, you’ll be caught off guard. And what’s the next step? Quickly dig up the core. “Training is training, and first we have to dig up the gold, right?”
“Ah ether! I completely forgot! “I’m sorry!”
The operator who shouted that bowed his back exaggeratedly.
He then took out the core extractor from the small case he was carrying on his shoulder.
The other members were also very excited at the thought of digging up gold nuggets and moved in unison.
“Anyway, I’m afraid he’s a hunter, so look at him revealing his money. Cute things.”
Kang Ki-beom leaned back against the cave wall, rolled his eyes downward for a moment, and put a cigarette in his mouth.
Chick –
It was when he lit the end of his cigarette, sucked in the smoke, and turned his eyes forward again.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…!”
The crew member who took out the extractor first was struggling, holding his neck.
With your feet about 10cm off the ground.
“….”
What is it?
The moment Kang Ki-beom’s thinking circuit stopped working for a moment.
“Ugh…!”
Ttuduk!
The operator’s chin and neck turned in opposite directions.
Axis –
At the same time, Daewon’s eyes turn white and his arms and legs hang limply in the air.
Screams erupted from the frozen mouths of Kang Ki-beom and the other members.
“Woo wow wow-!!”

KHA Headquarters Office.
Oh Jae-ik, an employee of the association wearing a black suit and no tie, was staring quietly at the computer monitor.
He was an employee who managed the association’s server, including all data and emails sent to the association.
And last night.
One video was automatically uploaded to the association’s cloud server.
“….”
Registrant name.
Gwanghyeon Go.
Click –
Oh Jae-ik moved the cursor to view the video.
“….”
When I pressed the play button and the recorded video played, a dark alley at night unfolded.
It was a crude cell phone video shot without even the flash working, but it looked clear.
Because it was held in a bloody palm, it was at a slanted angle.
The sight of a monster that absolutely did not look human was tearing the air and inserting its large body into the crack.
The total playing time of the video was well over 3 hours.
However, nothing special happened except for the first 5 seconds when the monster disappeared into the crack.
This is because the video recording mode was turned on until the phone battery ran out.
In other words, it means that the person filming did not press the end filming button.
No, it’s not that I didn’t press it.
It must have failed to be pressed.
“Jaeik, what are you doing?”
That moment.
Someone spoke to me from behind the computer monitor.
He was a senior employee of Oh Jae-ik.
“We are discussing what to have for lunch later, Jaeik, please come and share your thoughts. … huh? Why is your expression like that? “What’s going on?”
The moment a senior employee approached me with a puzzled expression.
Click-
The mouse pointer over the video icon moved.
On the ‘Delete’ button.
Oh Jae-ik smiled.
“No, nothing happened.”
