Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 85
# 85
085
The inside of the cave is extremely dark as not a single ray of sunlight penetrates.
-Slap!
As the silver sword light drew a smooth horizontal line and cut through the darkness, green bodily fluids spurted out from all directions.
Kieeeeek-!!
The masters who were encroaching on the cave with no room to step died, unable to resist the fierce sword-like blows.
“There is no end. There is no end.”
Every time Shin Cho-young complained and moved her lips, the white cigarette between her teeth moved up and down slightly.
– Park.
She waved her arms and brushed the blood off her dual swords.
“How many are left?”
The moment when Shin Cho-young muttered to herself into empty space.
-Hwareuk.
[Number of Saju subjugation required to break through the second route: 87 / 100] A
square window engulfed in flames appeared in front of me.
It was a system message from hell.
“you’re close.”
While Shin Cho-young was laughing after checking the text written on the pop-up, another group of fortune tellers came out of the darkness making a crunching sound.
She swung her sword indifferently without even looking at them.
Green onion-! Suddenly!
The rampaging sword spirit quickly cut the spirits’ bodies into dozens of pieces.
Tsk.
She spit out the cigarette from her mouth and checked the message.
[Second Route has been cleared.]
[A crystal ball is created to check the status of the 1st and 3rd routes.]
To interpret the message differently, the quota has been met by killing all the current masters, and the 2nd route is the only place that has been cleared. It means.
Shin Cho-young, with a proud smile, decided to take a short break while the crystal ball was created.
dump.
She squatted down with her back against the cave wall, took out a cigarette from the red robe draped over her body, and put it in her mouth.
At first glance, Shin Cho-young’s appearance seemed quite distant from that of a ‘human’.
Beyond being pale, the skin, which was as white as a plaster statue, was cracked…
On the left side of the forehead, something that looked like a horn with a pointed tip was sticking out through the skin.
Her black ponytail hair, which was neatly tied back in the past, is now flowing down in red strands.
The eyes were full of black instead of white, and only the small, contracted bright yellow pupils flashed quietly.
A change to the extent that it can be said that she is a completely different person from the weak woman who lost all her Aurors and was pessimistic about life just ‘two years ago’.
[A crystal ball was created.]
At that time, two purple orbs appeared floating close to Shin Cho-young, who was resting.
It was a crystal ball that showed the situation of the first and third routes.
“Teacher and uncle…?”
Shin Cho-young sticks her head out and looks into the crystal ball that relays the current status of the first road.
bang-!
Saju’s six episodes exploded with a loud noise and popped up on the screen of a CCTV-like crystal ball.
Only then, when the green body fluid slowly flowed down in a sticky manner, did the sight of Route 1 become fully visible.
A black-skinned old man with a strong frame was moving through the cave at lightning speed, beating up a group of fortune-tellers.
His right arm, which was sizzling with lava, and his left arm, which was soaked in cold, elegantly crossed each other and poured out a series of blows.
“You’re doing great.”
Who cares about whom?
Shin Cho-young, who saw the unstoppable fierceness of old man Hwang Jun-young, smiled and turned his attention to the third crystal ball.
Park Dong-hyeok, who took on the appearance of a hybrid monster, violently swung his sword and cut down the four masters.
At that time, Shin Cho-young thought that it was a random battle, truly like Park Dong-hyuk.
[The first and third routes have been cleared.]
[The caves in the canyon are integrated.]
[The road leading to the queen’s royal palace is opened.]
Kugugu-.
The axis of the earth shook slightly, and the cave walls blocking the two sides became blurred and slowly disappeared.
All three paths taken by Shin Cho-young, Hwang Jun-young, and Park Dong-hyuk were integrated.
Jeopuk-.
Hwang Jun-young, who crossed the now transparent wall, naturally stretched out his hand and snatched the cigarette from her mouth.
“I told you to hang up.”
“Daesung told me that it helps if you smoke whenever you’re having a hard time…”
“That man also tells you something really good. “Your teacher is me.”
Shin Cho-young swallowed her dissatisfaction with a slightly pouty face.
Park Dong-hyuk, who was walking out from the other side, opened his mouth, wiping away the bodily fluids that were soaked in his large body.
“What kind of father are you? “I’m old enough, so why don’t I smoke?”
“We’ll talk about this again later. Anyway, let’s finish this quickly and get out of here.”
Hwang Jun-young stood in the middle, with Shin Cho-young and Park Dong-hyuk on either side.
A huge iron gate with a strange pattern engraved on it had now appeared in a place that had been blocked by a stone wall until just a moment ago.
It was none other than the door leading to the queen’s royal palace.
The moment Hwang Jun-young put his hand on the door.
Kugugoogung-!
With a heavy noise ringing in my ears, the iron door opened wide, revealing a wide cavity filled with a musty smell.
Hwang Jun-young said as he looked around, where nothing was visible because it was pitch black.
“I can feel a lot of presence, but in this dark, it’s almost like I’m blind.”
“Shall I reveal it?”
“You can’t fight bugs in the dark. “Go ahead.”
Shin Cho-young took a few steps forward and violently struck the ground with the long magic sword he was holding in his right hand.
Puzzle-!
Then, the yellow lightning flashed brightly and brightened up the dark cavity.
“Oh my…”
Park Dong-hyuk wrinkled his brow in disgust as things that were hidden in the darkness became clearly revealed.
square-. square-.
A number of fraudsters, incomparable to those seen in the passageway earlier, came rushing in like a flood…
keeeeeek!!
Inside the cavity, a huge spider with the upper body of a woman let out a bizarre roar.
She is the high-ranking Demon Beast Queen who rules ‘Spider Valley’.
Shin Cho-young, who was shining brightly and illuminating the cavity, shed a drop of cold sweat.
“If you have this many rulers and a queen… it must be quite a challenge, right?”
“okay. “It won’t be easy.”
All three were picturing the same scene in their minds at this moment.
Two years ago.
Even when they first fell into the ‘Spider Valley’, so many hordes of magicians came and pressured them endlessly.
However, Hwang Jun-young, who had strengthened his mind and said that things were different now than then, quickly gave an order.
“I will take charge of the path where the queen is. “Choyoung and Donghyuk, make sure the rest can’t get in your way.”
Before his words even took center stage.
Hwaaaah!!
Suddenly, a thunderbolt of fire poured down from the ceiling and swept away the group of fortune-tellers.
“….”
Although the incident occurred suddenly, the three looked more bewildered than surprised.
Grumbling-!!
The fire that poured down with intense force spread as if engulfing the cavity in the blink of an eye.
The large group of Saju were unable to move and burned to death, turning into black ash.
All three of them exclaim in exasperation that it is absurd, but at the same time, it is an incredibly powerful firepower.
-Pot.
The fire and lightning stopped.
thud-!
As the white-haired giant fell from above and landed on the ground, the entire cavity shook with a loud noise.
widely-!
As soon as the white-haired giant hit the ground, a heavy shock wave exploded, pushing the three behind him away.
“…!”
While Shin Cho-young raised his right arm to block the shock wave, he opened only one eye and looked forward.
Kieeeeek-!!
Queen Saju, whose dark silhouette was visible beyond the flames, let out a scream of fear.
And then the black figure of the white-haired giant suddenly burst into the flames and violently swung the great sword that spewed out flames.
Kwazizig-!!
Kieeeeek-!!
The queen’s screams mingled with the sounds of flesh being slaughtered, creating a terrible harmony.
Hwang Jun-young was impressed.
“Kill the queen with one shot….”
“Why are you so surprised? “Has it been a day or two since that guy was filming Musou on his own?”
Park Dong-hyuk sighed deeply as if he was no longer surprised.
And Shin Cho-young….
‘It’s been about two years, so I thought I’d caught up…’
In the face of such formidable power, she felt the gap was impossible to catch up with.
‘There is something else to aim for. Just don’t think about it.’
When she discovered that she unlocked her magical powers two years ago and that the path to her growth had been opened, she secretly hoped that if she continued to pursue this path, she might be able to catch up with that man.
But every time I looked over my shoulder and watched that man’s fierceness, I felt a sense of intimidation, as if my whole body was being weighed down.
The goals you sincerely want to achieve must be realistic and not vain.
And that man’s strength was absurd and unrealistic.
‘…Let’s be satisfied with just being able to walk the same path.’
Shin Cho-young’s face, covered in scarlet light, drew a bitter smile.
at that time.
Jeopuk-.
The white-haired giant Daesung calmly walked out of the flames as if he were taking a walk.
Park Dong-hyuk asked, holding a large yam sword on his shoulder.
“As a final inspection, you were the one who told us to fight the Queen Master, right? The test taker finished the test for me. “What kind of case is this?”
“The final inspection is not important. “I don’t have time to stay here like this.”
“what?”
Daesung narrowed his eyebrows and called up the system instead of answering Park Dong-hyuk’s question.
[Do you want to leave the area? [Yes/No]
When ‘Yes’ was selected, the cavity engulfed in fire and a mess disappeared and a pure white world of Pantheon appeared.
Hwang Jun-young asked at the slightly hurried movement.
“Is there something going on outside?”
“A lot happened. “Before I explain in detail…”
Daesung trailed off and quietly looked back at the three of them.
The two years allowed them to know what Daesung was saying just by looking at them.
His words are absolute.
The three of them obediently said, “Read.”
-Hwareuk.
Currently, three statuses came to mind at the same time.

—–
Compared to two years ago, it can be safely called a huge improvement.
In exactly one year, they achieved level 20, the goal set by Daesung, and are able to join his group. I got the rights.
“….”
At first, I brought them to the Pantheon with the mindset of a light bet, but they grew much more than I expected.
Especially.

In particular, Shin Cho-young raised his level by going through hell like crazy.
With the help of his unique characteristics, he can not fall behind Hwang Jun-young and Park Dong-hyuk, who are growing quickly. It goes without saying that twice as much effort had to be put in to avoid this.
In that way, she achieved her primary goal of level 20 before the other two and was even able to unlock unique characteristics that were locked in the process. ‘The stronger
these guys become, the stronger I become. ‘There’s nothing bad about it.’
It’s just a guess, but with that level of status, it would probably easily overwhelm most S-class hunters.
It was a huge benefit to have those people in the force.
‘I don’t have to worry about someone hitting me in the back.’
I don’t make this judgment simply because I blindly trust them.
Actually, they don’t know, but…
two years ago, when these three were left alone in ‘Spider Valley’ and returned to Pantheon, the system sent out this message.
[The living beings of this dimension have accepted the energy of hell.]
[The Absolute can turn them into residents of ‘Hell’.]
[Those who have been demonized will unconsciously remain loyal to the Absolute for eternity.]
[Would you like to turn living creatures into demon beasts? Yes / No]
It was vaguely similar to the message that appeared when the Heavenly Transcendant was turned into a butterfly girl.
Daeseong turned them into demon beasts without even thinking about it.
With this, the risk of their betrayal has been completely blocked.
‘They are not aware of it, but…’
Unlike the Butterfly Girl, who became a demonic beast while not belonging to any dimension at all, those three still have all their human memories remaining.
Demon Beast Painting is not omnipotent enough to erase all memories.
However, subconsciously, those three’s thinking circuits are such that whatever Daesung says is absolutely right.
‘I guess that’s no different from being an all-rounder.’
As time passed, Hwang Jun-yeong and Shin Cho-young’s skin gradually discolored and horns sprouted, all due to the effects of Demonic Water Painting.
Although Park Dong-hyuk, whose race is non-specific, has not changed from two years ago.
When I explained to them that the change in appearance was the result of a long stay in hell, they understood.
‘Anyway, this is it…’
Daesung nodded after slowly scanning the status window of the three.
At this level, you have grown to a level where you can trust them and entrust them with work.
“I just found the trader for the last ampoule.”
The moment Daesung started crying, the three’s eyes widened.
It was news that they had found out where the prey that had rarely been stepped on was located.
“He was someone who went through dozens of different brokers to complete transactions, so his whereabouts were unclear. But today I finally found out what that bastard looked like.”
“How on earth did you find it?”
“As I searched through the brokers one by one, the bastard’s name came up at the end.”
When the ignorant answer came back, Shin Cho-young thought she had asked a pointless question that would hurt her mouth.
“Moon Se-geol. I heard he’s quite a big name in Macau’s underworld. “You’ll probably have to mess around with a lot of dirty guys to get rid of this guy.”
As Daesung spoke in a slightly warning tone, Park Dong-hyuk smiled and crossed his arms.
“Even if it gets twisted, it gets twisted together, right? “What’s new?”
“no. “I’m sorry, but I’m out of this job.”
“ok?”
Park Dong-hyuk twitched his eyebrows at the unexpected answer and looked at him.
“This is just the three of you.”
“you?”
“I have something else to do.”
“What to do.”
“Even if I don’t tell you, you will find out when you leave here.”
Park Dong-hyuk thought to himself, ‘You unlucky guy,’ and snorted.
After they reached level 20 in one year, Daesung gave them a lot of work.
Typical tasks included turning the gate around or catching dimension takers and ampoule traders.
I’m sending them to the gate. Since their appearance already made it difficult to call them human, I insisted that they were summoned animals and the problem was resolved without any problems.
But what Dimension Taker is involved in is different.
Daesung wasn’t sure if those three would be able to take down the Dimension Takers, Honsei’s core troops. So, I always followed through on that work.
I said that….
“I looked at the status window and it seems to be taking care of itself without me.”
“I won’t disappoint.”
Shin Cho-young smiled brightly, probably feeling proud of Daesung’s praise.
“Association President Park Jeong-ho has placed a private plane on standby so that we can leave immediately. “The final check will be how cleanly you beat that bastard, Moon Se-geol.”
“okay. I understand, so can we just get out of here? “I’m more curious about what you have to do than the guy who thinks you’re a doorbell or a doorstep.”
Park Dong-hyeok, who had been strangely concerned earlier, urged me on.
Daesung also agrees that talking about it for a hundred days at the Pantheon is a waste of time.
“Okay, you’ll find out when you go out and see.”
He snapped his fingers.
-Just right.
[Exiting the Pantheon.]
The moment I return to reality and a quiet night scene unfolds.
They immediately realized what Daesung meant when he said that they would find out once they leave the Pantheon.
“…is it real?”
Hwang Jun-young, dumbfounded, muttered lowly and looked up at the sky.
Half a day after visiting Spider Valley.
Clearly, something that ‘didn’t exist’ before departure was emitting enormous light through the black clouds in the sky.
It had an unprecedented size and floated in the atmosphere, shining like the moon or sun into the eyes of people all over the world.
It was a moment no one expected.
Except for Daesung.
“It’s a first-class gate.”
He said, extending his finger as if pointing at the Big Dipper.
“You guys go to Macau.”
A level 1 gate that appeared for the first time in 7 years.
I wasn’t surprised because I already knew…
but I didn’t have any intention of taking it easy either.
“I’ll close that one.”
Two years ago.
It was proof that the day that had been predicted thanks to Elheim’s memory had now arrived just around the corner.
