Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell - Chapter 96

# 96

096

“Evil!”

As soon as we passed the gate, one of the < Country > team members screamed.

-Good!

Rather than worrying about the safety of their comrades, they first stood in their positions and prepared for battle.

It is a cold but wise decision.

‘They weren’t real idiots.’

Daesung, who was the only one who was relaxed among those present, slowly looked around.

The background was a forest with lush bushes and trees.

However,

“Have I entered Geomlim hell?”

Grant’s words were accurate.

Every single blade of grass that formed the bush and every leaf blowing in the wind was a well-forged sword.

According to preliminary research, the survival exit here will open in 10 hours.

This meant having to endure nearly half a day in a forest surrounded by sharp knives in all directions.

“Damn it.”

However, as hunters who had gone through many hardships and faced hardships, they did not despair.

Instead, an A-class hunter who suffered a stab wound from the beginning became irritated.

“There is no luck. “Why is it that only the places I pass by have tree branches stretching out like this?”

The A-class hunter shot at a particularly protruding tree branch.

And that was when I tried to wipe the blood flowing down my cheek with my hand.

Quad deuk-!

“…?!”

Suddenly, the tree that had scarred Class A’s face began to twist its pillars and extend its trunk.

It’s not just a stem either.

As soon as it is captured, its entire body will be stabbed by the blade protruding from the surface of the stem.

“Uh oh!”

Just when the unprepared Class A was about to see despair in his eyes.

Suddenly!

The silver horizontal line blowing from the diagonal line easily cut off the stem that was attacking him.

“I guess I understand the physiology of this place.”

It was Daeseong who said that while idly rotating the small sword.

There is no need to waste your magic power and take out the Fire Flame Greatsword. He planned to get through this distant forest of Dosan with only the ‘Dagger of Judgment’.

Grant nodded after receiving Daesung’s words.

“Apparently the tree attacked me as soon as the blood started flowing down my face.”

“It probably means that it reacts with human blood. “You have good eyes.”

As the saying goes, the trees here are like flytraps, looking for prey and rushing towards it. The problem is that it is not a carnivorous plant but a carnivore.

While one sharp-witted operator was treating Class A’s wounds with healing aura, Grant came to the front and spoke.

“Be careful not to get cut by the tree. The moment you bleed even a little, think that you will fall into a bottomless swamp and move. “Make sure you only get cut on areas wearing armor that won’t hurt even if you get cut.”

The team members responded energetically to the leader’s lead, and they began to walk forward in unison.

and.

“….”

Daesung was watching them from behind as they went ahead.

quietly. Glancing sideways at

the forest of blades surrounding them and

the sixteen spider patterns fluttering in the air.

***

After that, I had to walk for about an hour.

Survival type doesn’t matter at all other than how many monsters you can catch and how to attack the boss monster.

Kill time in a safe place away from monsters as much as possible.

The survival gate was a place where all you had to do was spend the allotted time without having to do anything.

Of course, finding that safe zone is unlikely to be easy.

Rustle!

Kak-!

Keek-!

A group of monsters with curved swords like scythes on both arms attacked through the nearby bushes.

It was a blade troll.

“Prepare for battle!”

With Grant’s loud spirit, the < Country > team members took action.

The first person to confront the troll was S-class Dave Hopper. He was 190 cm tall and struck the troll with a hammer that was as long as his own height.

Sigh-!

In an instant, a foul-smelling body fluid burst out from the collapsed troll.

Following Dave’s example, the rest of the team showed off their bravery.

They are made up of people of at least Class A and are not embarrassed by a surprise attack from a Class 3 monster.

“Surround in a circle with Mr. Dave at the center! “If you disperse in a field like this, the situation will be unfavorable!”

“Rangers, don’t try to take cover because there is nowhere to hide here! “The attackers will stop them, so you rain down on the trolls so they don’t come out of the bush!”

The division of those who should come to the front, the formations that change fluidly depending on the specificity of the field, and the combat capabilities that make all these strategic tactics possible.

Even though the terrain was almost like a single road with obstacles blocking the left and right sides, there was no blockage in their movements.

Of course, there were no difficulties at all.

“evil! for a moment! “I got cut…!”

As it was the center of fierce fighting, many people unintentionally escaped from the positions and got cut in the bushes.

Quad deuk-!

Not wanting to miss that gap, the trees stretched out their blade-like stems like ghosts.

Hwareuk-!

The fiercely swung whip of flame cut off the stem in an instant.

It was Andrew, the holder of the pyrotechnic aura.

“Trolls aren’t the problem. “The field itself is not an environment suitable for fighting with all your might, Grant.”

“I agree.”

Alice and Grant agreed. Killing the Blade Troll was not difficult, but the surrounding environment that restricts movement is quite fatal.

Grant clicked his tongue nervously.

“shit. “I thought I might have found a quiet place, but it turned out to be quiet here too.”

“Let’s move places. “The terrain is the largest, but the number of trolls is also high.”

“I guess so. Everyone, take out your burning bombs right now!”

The moment when the fifteen elite team members placed their hands on the alloy belts wrapped around their waists.

Click.

A section of the belt was separated and a pea-sized explosive was released. They pressed the button and the explosive light came on.

“Throw-!”

As soon as Grant’s shout rang out, the team members threw explosives, or incandescent bullets, in different directions.

pop-! Bubble bubbung-! Qua-ang!

The explosion was not big. Less than half the power of military grenades.

However, it was enough to put all the trees and bushes that interfered with the action and a group of about five or six trolls into the fire.

The subtly dark Geolim was engulfed in bright red flames in the blink of an eye.

“…It’s not that easy for a level 3.”

Grant frowned as his retinas stung.

Then, suddenly remembering something, Grant raised his voice and asked.

“Han Dae-seong! Where is Han Dae-seong?”

It was strange that I was already struggling this much.

This is especially true if they are aware of who they are currently ‘collaborating’ with.

“Where is Han Dae-seong!”

Grant, who was continuously shouting, looked around.

However, the figure of Daesung he was desperately looking for was nowhere to be seen.

Andrew looked reluctant.

“Oh, I don’t have any. That’s strange. I’m sure it was there just a

little while ago…” “Didn’t you idiot go off onto a different path?”

There was a strange silence.

At that time, Dave noticed something strange and opened his mouth.

“That Grant?”

“what.”

“…We are currently one person short.”

“what?”

Grant’s eyebrows twitched.

He immediately counted the number of < Country > team members here.

“Twelve, thirteen, fourteen. … Fourteen?”

Excluding himself, the number that should have been fifteen was reduced by one.

***

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…! Wow…!”

“does not it hurt. Don’t be so cruel. “Don’t scream.”

Somewhere in the darkness of Geomlim.

Daesung asked the man, who was crying with his mouth shut, to be quiet.

He was an S-class hunter from < Country > whose name was Edward, but that fact was a good thing for Daesung.

Edward Strictly speaking, he wasn’t speechless.

A thin thread of ether was wrapped around his neck as if it could be cut off at any moment.

It felt as if my neck would fall off if I touched it even a little.

It wasn’t difficult to fall to a remote location right before a fierce battle and snatch one of the team members with the < Salt Snake > thread.

“Ugh… Ugh…!”

Daesung’s clumsy hands were placed over Edward’s heart, which was shedding tears of fear.

At that moment, something like a black shadow flowed from Edward’s heart and wrapped around Daesung’s hand.

[The power of < Clone > is activated.]

< Power Information >

Clone

[Create a being with the same shape as the target by hand.]

[Place your hand on the heart of the target that will be the original copy and do the ‘copy’ process for 10 seconds. ]

[The clone can be maintained and controlled for up to 3 minutes, and the wielder of the power must reside within a radius of at least 300m.] It

was the process of creating a so-called ‘doppelganger’.

After 10 seconds, Daesung finished ‘copying’ and stretched out his black-stained hand to the side.

Then, the black shadow that flowed from his hand as if the color was escaping quickly took on the shape of a human being.

Looks exactly like Edward.

‘Original’, who saw an unbelievable sight, opened his eyes in astonishment.

After confirming that the ‘doppelganger’ was successfully created, Daesung gave strength to his left hand, which was connected to the thread of < Yeomsa >.

“I don’t need you anymore.”

The moment a cold voice came out.

Sigh-! Kwaduk-!

“Ouch…?!”

The thread of < Salt Thread > wrapped around Edward’s entire body dug deeper into his skin.

Blood spurted out from all over his body, like a wet rag being squeezed out. Edward’s complexion turned pale, as if he had been covered in flour.

Blood flowed from both ruptured eyes. As the blood drained out, the brain seemed to have been eaten, and not even a scream came out.

Quad deuk-!

And a tree nearby, which smelled blood, stretched out a trunk resembling a bunch of tentacles and immediately snatched Edward away.

Kwasik-! Sigh-! Suddenly!

Countless knives cut into Edward’s flinching body. Blood and flesh spurted out.

“This is my first time controlling an alter ego other than myself.”

Daesung muttered as he looked at his doppelganger without even looking at Edward, who was being torn to pieces behind him.

Grumbling-.

At that time, a scene of fire spreading not far away caught his eye.

To Daeseong, it seemed like a beacon that signaled that the rest of the prey was here.

***

Jeopuk.

The sound of those soft footsteps could not help but be heard loudly in the ears of the < Country > team members who had become very sensitive.

“who is this!”

Grant, who quickly took his stance, turned in the direction from which the footsteps sounded.

Soon, a person walked out through the dark forest path on the side.

“It’s me. “My name is Edward.”

Edward slowly appeared with his hands raised above his head with a very nervous face.

Just as the cold sweating tension was slightly relieved, Grant became angry in a sharp tone.

“This bastard got fed up because there was one person missing. “Where have you been all this time?”

“I’m sorry for leaving the battle line without saying anything. But I found that guy sneaking off in another direction first…”

“That guy? If it were him, would it be Han Dae-seong?”

“yes. So I followed him and found that bastard. “I think he’s thinking of going away from us and hunting on his own.”

After hearing Edward’s report, Grant frowned as hard as he could.

I knew he was a cocky guy, but I didn’t know he was this much of a maverick. If you were going to act alone, why did you respond to the request for ‘cooperation’ in the first place?

‘no. In fact, it may have turned out well.’

But in some ways, such unexpected behavior could have served as an opportunity.

Isn’t this what they are doing here to attack the gate in the first place?

“I guess I can plan a plan without worrying about him. “I was already having trouble because I couldn’t find the right timing.”

Instead of having your prey disappear from your side, you can now more flexibly plan assassination opportunities.

At this time, Edward quickly noticed and stretched out his finger in the direction where he had appeared.

“He was walking near the forest path in the direction I pointed. “I was just checking and coming back, so I probably couldn’t have gone far.”

“good.”

Once you know where your prey is, it’s game over. Now all we have to do is hold our breath and put it into action.

However, there is a high chance that all 16 people moving together to assassinate one person will be caught.

“Split the group into two. You and I go all the way to the front of the forest road and block his path. The rest of the team should focus on Andrew and target him. “We’re putting pressure on him back and forth.”

Grant gave the order quietly in a hushed voice so that the guy wouldn’t be able to sense it.

The team members nodded silently.

And immediately took action.

***

It was just as Edward said. I headed in the direction he pointed and soon found Daesung.

As soon as ‘Andrew Joe’ caught sight of his prey, he quickly dispersed at a certain distance.

A total of eight assassins melted into Geomlim and watched Daeseong from a distance.

‘I didn’t notice.’

Andrew was sure. The guy was walking naturally at the same tempo, without any signs of stopping or pricking his ears.

Okay.

Andrew, who took cover behind a pillar with few blades, signaled with his hands to the rangers standing on either side.

Andrew’s fingers marked the number ‘3’. And then they folded one by one.

3 2 1.

“…!”

The three rangers moved at the same time. A total of three Crossbows stuck out of cover.

Phew-! Phew-! Phew-!

An arrowhead loaded with aura split the atmosphere and flew away. Amazingly, all three shots penetrated the target’s vital area accurately.

Sigh! Kwakwak-!

Perfect hit. Andrew exclaimed with joy as he watched the arrow pierce the prey’s body. He had no doubt that the assassination was successful.

Suuuu-.

Until Daesung’s body, hit by an arrow, scatters like a shadow.

“huh?”

Everyone’s eyes, including Andrew, widened.

They couldn’t take their eyes off of them for a while, wondering if they had seen something wrong.

“Suck?!”

A short scream that lasts less than a second.

The others were startled and all turned to look in the direction from which the scream came.

also.

There is no one.

For a moment, those who confirmed the fact felt saddened.

Flutter.

Patter.

Suddenly, with a sound, something sticky rained down on the head of one of the team members.

“laugh…! “What is this…?!”

A teammate covered in something unidentifiable blushed and rubbed his face with his hand. Then something strange came out.

Bright red blood.

And the lumps were the severed ‘chin’ and ‘ears’ of a person whose shapes were clearly visible even in this darkness.

“…uh?”

The surprise only lasts for a moment.

Quad deuk-!

A nearby tree that saw human blood stretched out its sharp trunk without a word.

“uh? eww? Argh-?!”

The skin of a team member whose entire body was wrapped around the blade-like stem was torn off.

Andrew, who had been frozen for a moment in a dazed situation, finally came to his senses and attempted to swing the whip of speech.

Sigh-!

“Wha…?!”

If only the dagger that flew out of nowhere through the pitch black had not pierced his wrist.

As the colorful tendons were cut, Andrew dropped the whip from his hand.

“Ugh huh huh-?!”

Andrew, unable to bear the pain of having his wrist cut, fell to his knees clutching the affected area.

Now his mind was filled with confusion and despair. I couldn’t figure out how this all happened.

“everyone! “Don’t panic and find out the enemy’s location.”

Still, I had to somehow get through this hopeless situation. Andrew swallowed his fear, looked away from the affected area, raised his head, and shouted.

“….”

And the whole place was a sea of blood. So much so that the black forest covered in darkness looks bright red.

Severed human limbs were rolling around like trash on the street.

This happened in that brief moment when I briefly checked the wound on my wrist.

“Huh…”

Andrew’s breathing became rapid. Tears welled up in his eyes. The color disappeared and the complexion turned pale.

“Vice-captain…”

A desperate voice was heard. Andrew, who was sweeping the hell in front of him with blurred vision, turned his head in the direction where the voice came from.

The only remaining Class A team member was covered in tears and snot and was twitching like an aspen tree.

A Class A team member spoke in a trembling tone, like a lost child.

“Please save me…”

Jjieeeeing-!

The team member’s body rose upward with a noise like a knife scraping metal.

Andrew’s eyes also turned upward as if they were being pulled together.

A short moment.

Andrew looked.

Between trees.

A thin thread-like thing catches the moonlight shining down on the sword forest and sparkles for a moment.

The moment when a teammate’s new type burrows through the tangled threads like a spider’s web.

Flutter.

His body was cut into pieces.

Blood-soaked intestines fell to the ground, along with shredded limbs.

“iced coffee…!”

The sound of water leaked from Andrew’s crotch as he let out an inexplicable scream. It is incontinence.

His face, which was covered with fear, soon turned into a smile. The corner of his mouth twisted and a laugh came out in a cracked voice.

It’s a nightmare.

This is a nightmare.

This can’t be real.

-Sure.

His body, tied to something, slowly began to rise upward.

– Jeopuk. The sound of footsteps continued.

“It’s that look.”

Daesung was revealed as he slowly pulled the thread of his left hand connected to the top of the tree inward.

Each time he pulled his arm, Andrew’s body came closer and closer to the phalanx of tangled threads among the treetops.

Was this what the prisoner looked like when he was hanged?

“I wanted to see that expression.”

The moment I finally pulled the thread.

Flutter.

Patter.

Andrew also met the same fate as other team members. His disintegrated remains fell down. Fountains of blood poured down like heavy rain.

Quad deuk-!

Trees everywhere were hacked up once more, leaving pieces of limbs scattered on the ground.

Like a pigeon picking up vomit.

“That’s why I don’t kill you all at once.”

It’s half over.

Half left.
