Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 71

# 71

071

The monster could not move due to the strong grip that was squeezing the back of his neck.

I have a feeling that if I try to move my head like this, my head will be ripped out.

And just as he had expected, Daesung, who was holding tightly to the monster’s lifeline, opened his mouth.

“I told you to show your face.”

“Ugh…!”

“There are so many things I want to ask you. “Isn’t it polite for people to look at each other face to face when talking?”

Daesung

‘s knuckles holding the nape of his neck grew stronger, and the monster’s eyes became bloodshot.

‘Well, I can’t maintain < stealth > for long in this situation anyway.’

< Stealth > is a powerful power that erases everything, including appearances, smells, and signs, to escape the enemy’s line of sight and launch a surprise attack.

However, its weaknesses were also evident.

If you are caught by an opponent like this, the duration and performance deteriorate rapidly.

Saaaak –

The monster that had been released from hiding was slowly revealed, as if the fog that had cleared was gathering again.

Daesung tilted his head to the side as he looked at the strange figure.

“Looking at the top, it doesn’t look like a person.”

“….”

“Anyway, now we can finally talk face to face. “Are you the one who made Kang Ki-beom like that?”

I had heard that S-class Seo Dong-cheol hardened his body with a special aura he was born with and transformed into a monster-like appearance.

However, except for Seo Dong-cheol, I have not heard of any hunters who use auror techniques that allow them to escape human form.

“Seeing as you’re not answering, I guess that’s what you did.”

“…shit.”

“Seeing how you turn humans into monsters, I guess you’re not an ordinary guy either. “You’re the one trying to blow up the entire gate in Seongnam City, right?”

“…that’s right.”

The monster obediently admitted it.

Because there was no reason to turn away.

It might be better to confront it head on.

“What are you doing? “How do you know our plans?”

“The question is.” At that moment

,

the monster felt pain as if his eyeballs were popping out.

This is because there was so much force in Daesung’s clumsy hands that it seemed as if he was literally going to squeeze out his eyes, nose, and mouth.

“The question is mine. “It’s not what you do.”

“Kek kek…!”

Die.

How can someone who wants an answer be strangled like this?

The monster instinctively realized that the white-haired human he was currently facing was truly a crazy person.

‘You have to kill me before I die!’

At first, I planned to slowly, over time, find out the identity of this crazy guy.

But if everything goes according to plan, this one will die first.

-Wiggle.

Since it was only the neck that was caught, the monster was able to move his left hand without difficulty.

OK.

“hmm?”

Daesung’s fingers, which were holding on to the monster, slowly began to increase the distance between them.

Arbitrary movement that escapes the will of the owner.

Daesung, who felt puzzled, stared at his fingers for a moment.

“Kaaak-!”

As soon as the monster was able to breathe, he immediately escaped from Daesung’s grasp and kicked his legs in a gasp.

“What is this again?”

Daesung

grimaced as he looked at his right hand, which was moving as it pleased.

The monster spoke while clearing his still sore throat.

“I am Sagat.”

“I don’t remember asking your name. “What have you done to me?”

“I’m telling you to at least know the name before you leave. Even in nine heavens, you will think of my name and tremble.”

“When I tell you to answer a question, you keep saying something different.”

Even though he was experiencing the phenomenon of his body moving uncontrollably, Daesung was very calm.

Sagat, who was offended by that calm reaction, clicked the tip of his tongue and glanced at the fireworks greatsword held in one of Daesung’s hands.

“Does that knife look good? Did you cut the < barrier > with that?”

“You mean like the saw blade that chopped off my right hand earlier? okay.”

“It’s really amazing.”

The moment Sagat frowned, curling up the corner of his mouth, stretched out his left arm to the side.

Kuuk-!

This time, Daesung’s hands moved on their own and he held the Fire Flower Greatsword in reverse.

So that the burning blade is pointed at his abdomen.

“But the experience of having that famous sword pierce your stomach will be even more amazing!”

Sagat, showing a sneer, clenched his fist with his left hand extended to the side.

Pak-!

Daesung’s arms moved.

Soon, fresh blood will pour out, and the bastard will die without knowing what happened until the moment he closes his eyes!

Sagat thought so, but…

“…Huh?”

Sagat

‘s expectations were completely different.

Because the blade stopped just a short distance away from Daesung’s abdomen.

Sagat’s eyes widened.

“What what…!”

“What’s strange?”

In contrast to Sagat, who was shocked and in disbelief, Daesung spoke with a relaxed smile on his face.

“Is this guy expecting me to show his teeth?”

-As for my teeth, I showed them enough when my lord came looking for me again.

Magnus, the heroic spirit inhabiting the sword, said this jokingly.

It seemed to be referring to the ordeal that burned Daesung’s entire body during the materialization quest.

“This…! “This can’t be happening!”

Sagat, unable to understand what was happening, took a step back without realizing it.

< Flame Thread > is the power to manipulate a designated opponent at will with a short, invisible thread.

Sagat could not help but be astonished when the attack, which could be said to be a proprietary attack beyond < Stealth >, did not work.

‘Did you destroy < Yeomsa >? no. Rather, that…’

Unless the enemy knows the identity of the power, it will be impossible to destroy it.

Sagat’s eyes rested on the great sword.

That white head wasn’t forcing the knife away.

‘Carl is rejecting himself!’

Like a creature with an ego.

How can this happen?

The moment when Sagat, in confusion, relaxed the operation of < Yamsa >.

Grumble-!

pop-!

“Kuh…?!”

Suddenly, a large fireball flew at the speed of a cannonball and exploded into Sagat’s face.

In an instant, Sagat’s vision was overturned, and Sagat, who felt an enormous amount of heat, bent his back and fell to the floor.

[The first special skill of ‘Scorching’ mode is activated.]

[Special skill: < flame bullet >]

A dark red will-o’-the-wisp fire was burning near Daeseong’s head.

At the same time, Daeseong’s arm, which had been bound by < Yeomsa >, regained its freedom.

Because the person who exercised power has just been dealt a blow.

“Aaaah-!”

Sagat, whose face was tanned, stood up nervously.

Sagat’s arms spread wide as he screamed in agony.

Slurp –

Then, the corpses of < Nether > members scattered around the area began to float in the air.

“You arrogant human bastard!”

The corpses hanging from the threads of < Yeomsa > came crashing down on Daeseong with a trembling sound.

The moment the spear knife held in their hands was swung fiercely.

humming-!

The Fire Flame Greatsword, which moved faster than that as it tore through the air, drew lines of flame and cut up the corpses.

Kwagwagwagwak-!

The bodies’ upper and lower bodies were separated in midair.

“crazy…!”

Honestly, Sagat thought the crazy guy would feel remorse for just a moment.

You can’t attack a dead human.

But there was no such illusion.

Pak-!

Daesung, covered in a fountain of blood from the pouring corpses, rushed towards Sagat with a ghost-like appearance.

“Oh my god-”

Sagat, who was very frightened, tried to tie Daesung’s feet with < Yeomsa >.

Suddenly!

However, before that clumsy move could hit Daeseong, the flame-covered blade separated Sagat’s upper body from his lower body.

***

Surprisingly, Sagat was still breathing.

Of course, since my body was cut in half, I wasn’t alive even if I survived.

Looking at the blood pouring out even at this very moment, it will not be long before he dies from excessive bleeding.

“Heo-eok kkeok….”

“I definitely gave you a chance to tell it out loud. But you missed it.”

There really was a lot I wanted to ask.

How did they turn Kang Ki-beom, an ordinary human being, into a monster?

What is it?

And what was the reason for trying to blow up all the gates in Seongnam City at once?

but.

“There are no questions to ask a man who has already become a corpse.”

Sreung –

The moment when the flaming sword was aimed at Sagat’s face.

-Sigh!

At the same time as Sagat’s eyes began to fade, he reached into the rags on his body and tried to pull out something.

Kwasik-!

“100 million…!”

Of course, it wasn’t Daesung who was just watching it blankly.

A large foot moved quickly and trampled on Sagat’s solar plexus.

Quick resolution.

-Whoosh!

Daeseong drove his greatsword into Sagat’s face as if driving a wedge.

Sagat’s arms, which had been busy wandering around inside the rags, went limp.

“….”

What did this guy want to do until the end?

If the intention was simply to kill Daesung, there would have been a smarter way than the cumbersome action of sticking his arm inside his clothes.

Daesung, who was worried, picked at the rags where the hand of Sagat, who had died, remained.

And I was able to find it.

“This?”

A small crystal ball about the size of two fingers.

Inside the surface of the transparent bead, something like a whirlwind was spinning.

“Do you know what this is?”

Daesung asked the butterfly girl who had been acting next to him earlier.

However, the butterfly girl also seemed to know nothing about the identity of the bead and just wiggled her fingers with a confused look.

[Sorry, but I also…]

“….”

This guy has no advantages other than being able to use the store system.

Daesung looked at him in bewilderment, then narrowed his gaze and looked closely at the inside of the bead.

A powerful whirlwind.

A shimmering haze.

And the current that bounces occasionally.

It was quite noticeable.

“It looks just like the gate.”

It was strange that if it was a hunter, it couldn’t be recognized.

The thing resonating powerfully inside the crystal ball was clearly a gate.

“He is someone who leaves behind a mystery even until the moment of his death.”

Daesung looked down at Sagat, who had already stopped breathing, and expressed his dissatisfaction.

Even if you stare at something you don’t know what it is, you won’t get an answer.

“Ghost eyes.”

The moment Daesung quietly spit out the command like that.

[The inherent authority of the subordinated Demon Beast ‘Commander Dolph’ has been temporarily passed on to the Absolute.] [The

Demon Beast cannot use the power while the power has been passed on to the Absolute.]

[The unique authority of ‘Commander Dolph’: < [Devil's Eye] is activated.] Daesung's eyes, which had been colored purple due to the < Eye of Fortune >, now turned scarlet, like a blazing fire.

‘Anyway, Dolph won’t be using his ears right now.’

Dolph, a former demon king, is now Daeseong’s loyal servant.

It was perhaps a natural fact that Daeseong could inherit and use his power.

Just as the annihilating dragon that only Valarc could tame has now become the exclusive property of Daeseongman.

< Skill Information >

Demon Eye Lv.1 (Max)

[You can glimpse the memories of the dead.]

< Devil Eye > is a skill that allows you to glimpse the memories of the opponent as long as they are dead, even if they are not demonized beings.

Now, with ‘soul count reduction’, there is no need to absorb and summon enemies one by one and look into their memories.

Daesung’s eyes opened and read Sagat’s memories.

-I’ve dreamed of becoming a hunter my whole life! But what is this!-

-Porter? How can I make a living as a porter? I have even awakened! –

Daesung, who glimpsed Sagat’s memories, raised his eyes at an unexpected fact.

Sagat was originally human.

Also, an awakened person who just became an Auror last year.

When he was a human, he had the name ‘Lee Ji-yoon’.

After becoming an awakened woman, she took the license exam with the dream of becoming a hunter, but ended up failing.

His dream of becoming a hunter and earning a living was frustrated.

-Really… can you really come in here without a license?-

-I’m confident you’ll do well!-

-Killing people? Wouldn’t it be a hundred times more unfortunate to have my abilities ruined than that? –

And then she joined a notorious criminal organization.

It was very common for hunters who had their licenses revoked for committing an illegal act or for awakened people like Sagat who had never obtained a license to join a criminal organization.

“This was a crazier year than I thought.”

And Sagat, who joined the criminal organization, indiscriminately oppressed, assaulted, and killed innocent people.

The faces of those who begged to be saved until the end and suffered unfair deaths were clearly captured in the eyes of Daesung, who activated < Ghost Eyes >.

-Why should I, who has such power, follow the instructions of someone weaker than me?- -It

‘s time to play in bigger water.-

-You little bastards! Do you guys still see me as a hot guy? How long do you think I’ll be groveling under you guys? –

Grumble -!

I saw the burning building and the members of the gang bleeding to death inside.

It was Sagat’s doing.

Intoxicated with power, she destroyed the organization and committed heinous crimes several times thereafter.

And one day.

A man approached Sagat, who was running wild.

-I’ve been watching you all this time.-

-It must have been fun. Trample and kill those weaker than you. Through him, you reaffirm how great you are and feel pleasure in that.

– -I’m not saying anything. It’s not like I’m criticizing you. It was just sad to see it.

– -I saw it. No matter how much I kill, hit, or violate anything. Your longing and desire that cannot be satisfied like a bottomless poison. –

He was a neat-looking man.

The man didn’t say his name.

He did not reveal his identity or try to convince me how he knew Sagat and came to visit him.

instead.

The man immediately made this suggestion.

-I will give you strength.-

-Very powerful strength that can satisfy that unfulfilled longing and desire.-

The man gently placed his hand on Sagat’s body.

At that moment, a strange-looking pattern appeared on Sagat’s body.

“….”

Daesung stopped reading the memories for a moment and looked at Kang Ki-beom, who was dead, pinned against the cave wall.

‘There is.’

The same pattern was engraved on Kang Ki-beom’s chest.

After completing the confirmation, Daesung read Sagat’s memories again.

-Thank you for accepting me as a resident of Honse.-

-Yes, I know. I have just become a resident of this place, so I don’t have the right to know much.

– -I understand. What you’re saying is to gather sacrifices. A sacrifice to awaken ‘him’…

Sagat was receiving orders from a man hiding in the dark in a colorless space.

‘Because they are residents of a single-family home…’

They probably referred to the place where they lived as a ‘home-home’.

as soon as.

It was a world beyond the gate that could now be called the main enemy of humanity.

‘It was quite a big deal.’

Those who received the emblem were called ‘Dimension Takers’ and were able to travel between spaces at will.

Sagat, who became the Dimension Taker, randomly kidnapped humans from all over the world and gave them to the ‘Man in the Dark’.

“…Is this what happened?”

The cause of the mysterious large-scale disappearances that have recently occurred throughout the world, including Korea.

It was none other than a plot carried out by those called ‘Dimension Takers’, including Sagat.

‘I don’t know who is trying to resurrect him through sacrifice and the identity of the person who is giving orders to Sagat.’

Sagat was also a low-ranking member who had just become a resident of Honsei and qualified as a Dimension Taker.

Perhaps the person who holds the key to the truth is the ‘man in the dark’.

And the ‘man in the dark’ gave orders to Sagat.

-Soldier… are you talking about?- -We

will soon face the ‘him’ who will be resurrected…–

After the order to gather sacrifices, we were instructed to make soldiers.

In this way, Sagat was given several ether cores and ‘authority’.

-Is this…?-

Sagat looked at the ‘man in the dark’ as if he had no idea what was going on.

The man said.

The core, processed in a special way, will turn ordinary humans into monsters, and through ‘authority’ just once, it is said that the ’emblem’ symbolizing ‘Dimension Taker’ can be given to anyone who wants it.

The ‘Man in the Dark’ gave humans strength using them and ordered them to become ‘soldiers’.

-I will follow your orders.-

And Sagat found the most suitable people to be his first soldiers.

He is willing to betray humanity if he has the power and has no hesitation in committing murder.

And yet, those who possess considerable influence.

It was < Hongma >.

“….”

Sagat contacted Lee Seok-woo, the leader of < Red Demon >, and handed him the core.

Seokwoo Lee immediately reprocessed the refined core once more.

This is how the ‘fusion’ ampoule was born.

Daesung suddenly remembered Jeong Jin-cheol, whom he killed during the last license exam.

‘Was it because of this ampoule that Jeong Jin-cheol was able to explode the EMP and regenerate his body?’

As the ‘Man in the Dark’ said, the ampoule made by melting a special core made humans infinitely closer to monsters.

It was Jeong Jin-cheol who easily accepted the power of the ampoule…

Unfortunately, Jeong Jin-cheol died at the hands of Daesung, and the evil deeds of < Hongma > were revealed to the world.

Sagat was indignant.

-You stupid bastard! What if our plan is discovered? –

-They smelled it! –

Sagat’s plan was to gradually train soldiers by secretly distributing ampoules.

However, everything went wrong when KHA discovered the identity of < Red Demon > and smelled it.

Sagat could not suppress his anger at Lee Seok-woo’s mistake.

That’s how she killed Lee Seok-woo and exterminated < Hongma >.

But in any case, Sagat must bear the responsibility for Lee Seok-woo’s mistake.

Sagat had to be reprimanded by the ‘man in the dark’.

-If it is a punishment, I will accept it. But….-

a long time. As she kidnapped humans and turned them into monsters, she felt a deep sense of futility.

Who is all this for?

Sagat asked ‘The Man in the Dark’.

-Please answer just one question. Who am I working for now? Who is this ‘Him’ you praise so much?

-Please answer! I’m sick of being loyal to someone I don’t even know who I am anymore!- Should

n’t you at least know why you have to go through all this trouble?

Who are the ‘soldiers’ for?

Who is the ‘offering’ for?

Sagat, who thought it was time to finally understand, desperately asked the ‘man in the dark’.

There was silence.

And…

finally, ‘The Man in the Dark’ answered Sagat’s question.

“All of this is for the resurrection of the Great God of Chaos.”
