Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell Chapter 156

# 156

156

“Wow…”

“What’s going on here…”

Pieces of bone, with tattered flesh shaking, were flying through the water.

The soldiers of Mahae, who smelled the thick scent of blood, frowned.

It’s definitely true.

Those pieces of flesh, bone powder, and silver scales fluttering before my eyes.

These were all evidence that the water dragon Leviathan had died.

“The water dragon suffered?”

“That can’t be possible… There is no one who can compete in our seas except the Sea God, so who…?”

“Hey no. That’s not important. Now…”

The soldiers were shocked in front of Leviathan’s body, which had been so badly damaged that it could not be seen.

One of the group extended a finger and pointed in the direction of an underwater cave.

Only then did the soldiers realize what the ‘real big deal’ was and swallowed their breath.

“Ribs!”

“Fuck no way!”

All the soldiers, including you, flew into the cave in haste.

Originally, it was a sacred place where no one could even set foot without Leviathan’s permission, but there was no time to worry about that now.

Soon after.

The soldiers who headed deep into the sanctuary, an undersea cave known as the ‘Treasure Vault’, soon became completely blank in their minds.

“….”

There is none.

The ribs of the sea god.

The unexpected fact finally became reality.

The moment when the soldiers were confused as to how to report this.

“…!”

Soooo-.

An eerie current began to run like a snake down the soldiers’ spines.

They froze in their posture as they stared at the empty space where the ribs had disappeared.

Something darker and colder than the deep sea was approaching from behind.

But I didn’t have the courage to look back and see that in my eyes.

[Someone please explain.]

Because I know what ‘it’ is.

Do you know who that voice that penetrates deep into your skull belongs to?

[Why did the water dragon get to that point and why is my rib not in the treasure trove?] The

calm waters of the deep sea began to stir as if in a storm.

The soldiers concentrated with all their might not to lose their spirit.

They slowly rolled their eyes to the side and glanced at the person standing behind them.

Height comparable to that of Leviathan.

Blue skin covered in tattoos.

White hair shaking like a coral reef.

A beauty with a cold, frozen look.

Sagara, the sea god.

She came in person after hearing the news that the treasure house had been captured.

“O Empress…!”

The soldiers who saw the Empress of the Sea straightened their backs and with difficulty parted their lips.

I never expected that she would show up in person.

It is a sacrosanct and inviolable being that one must be careful not to face or even to mention its name in vain.

Sze-.

Sagara leisurely walked past the frozen soldiers as if his heart had stopped.

And he said as he stared at the inside of the treasure trove, where there was nothing that should be there.

[Seeing as you arrived here before me, I guess your area of responsibility is not too far from here.]

“….”

[What did you do while Leviathan died and my bones were stolen by foreign enemies?] My

heart sank. I sat down and my brain became completely white, as if the color had been bleached.

The soldiers’ pupils were shaking like crazy. Crackle, crackle, teeth chattering non-stop.

[I asked what he did.]

I couldn’t answer.

The Empress wanted an answer, but could not bring herself to open her mouth.

Whatever answer was given, it would be an excuse, and making an excuse before the Empress meant death.

No matter what you do, you die.

The moment when that undeniable fact passed through the soldiers’ minds.

-!

The heads of dozens of soldiers left their bodies.

The Empress’s hand drew a straight line in the water, followed by a thick smear of blood.

The soldiers had to live in fear even to the moment of death.

[….]

Even after I finished venting my anger, the burning emotions did not subside.

Sagara, who had escaped the treasure chest, shed tears as she held onto a handful of Leviathan’s bone powder that was floating like scraps.

[Ahh… how painful it must have been… how scary it must have been…]

She sobbed as she held Leviathan’s bone in her wide arms.

At this time.

A huge whale approached behind the Empress, who was grieving over the death of a member of her household.

Known as ‘Behemoth’, he waited for the Empress to stop crying instead of preparing the report.

A little time passes.

Sagara said, sending Leviathan’s bone fragments across the abyss.

[What happened?]

“…The Kraken army sent as chasers was annihilated.”

[To the guy who killed my family?]

“It seems like that. The flow of the sea is also unusual. I guess…”

[It looks like he used my ribs to annihilate the army.]

Unless he uses his power as he pleases, he won’t be able to annihilate a group of Kraken so quickly.

[The bastards of Atlas have always wanted my ribs…]

Papdeuk-.

Sagara, whose face was full of sinews, gritted his teeth as if his jawbone was breaking.

[Now it’s my turn to grind up their bones.]

Her voice, which was once full of sadness, was now filled with anger.

War was declared.

***

“Oh! Brothers of Atlas! Greet the great warrior!”

As soon as Deputy Giriak’s battle cry resounded across the plains of Manchuria.

Ooooooooo-!!

An even louder and louder shout shook the earth violently.

Needless to say, the hero of the splendid hospitality was Daesung.

Tens of thousands of Titans welcomed him as he returned to the plains of Manchuria riding a black dragon and accompanying powerful men from all directions.

The giants, each individual the size of a mountain range, knelt down in unison and bowed their heads.

‘It’s burdensome.’

The magnificent scenery was enough to overwhelm even Daeseong.

Powerful men from all directions fell to their knees among the crowd.

At this time, Giriak, standing at the center of the Titans showing respect and courtesy, pointed to the Annihilator Dragon and the Great Castle and shouted.

“The Ascendant of Atlas is Ray!”

There was one more shout.

On that day, a grand festival took place in Atlas, where Titans from all over the region gathered together.

Titanomachia.

This sacred ceremony to revive the Chaos Goddess by sacrificing the souls of the Ascendants was scheduled to take place tomorrow at noon.

Until then, the Titans had celebrated the resurrection of Hecatoncale by enjoying a festival prepared with alcohol and food.

“I’m sorry I didn’t know!”

When the festival is ripe.

Royman, who was very drunk, suddenly lowered his head and apologized.

Daesung, who was just passing the time without even mentioning alcohol or food, asked.

“Are you being sarcastic?”

“no! No matter how bad-tempered I am, I know how to distinguish between up and down! “I sincerely regret not recognizing your true character and acting arrogantly.”

As he was speaking, Royman’s voice suddenly became embarrassing.

However, he did not lift his single eye filled with regret.

It seems like he sincerely regrets his past mistakes.

While Macleon and Giriak, who were seated together, looked at the scene in surprise.

Tuk-.

Yud, who was quite drunk, put his hand on Daesung’s shoulder and said.

“I apologize too. “I didn’t know you were such a brave warrior, and you ended up showing off your shame yesterday.”

“never mind.”

“How could you not care? It is a sign of apology. “Take my drink.”

Yud gently held out a huge liquor bottle carved out of a mountain peak.

However, Daesung shook his head and refused Yud’s favor.

Yud became sullen, scratched the back of his head and took down the bottle.

‘You must not eat or drink anything.’

It’s not just that I don’t want to enjoy this situation, so I’m holding the weight alone.

The moment you consume alcohol or food, wouldn’t the things you ate overflow out of your lightly cracked skin?

It is immediately revealed that this body is undead.

So Daesung didn’t eat or drink anything and just spent time watching the Titans dancing or chatting.

‘There’s no reason for me to keep sitting in this position.’

I don’t want or want to receive any favors from the Titans.

I would much rather spend time with Melcanon than spend the night with them.

Sze-.

“huh? what. “Do you need to pee?”

Suddenly, Daesung stood up and Royman’s eyes widened.

Daeseong walked with long strides and looked around.

“I’m going for a walk. “I will come by noon tomorrow, so don’t look for me.”

“No, what kind of person is taking a walk when the drinking scene is going on? “The main character of the festival is leaving?”

Royman grumbled, probably feeling disappointed, and took another drink.

Macleon, who had taken off his mask, asked while stroking his clearly exposed chin.

“Now that I think about it, there’s a rumor going around that he doesn’t stay in the barracks and always disappears somewhere at night. “Where on earth do you go every night, walking all night?”

“Because I didn’t get enough sleep, I couldn’t stand it without even getting some air.”

Daesung left the festival scene with only those words.

“….”

Yude quietly watched the back as he walked away, sipping his drink.

The festival atmosphere was heating up.

Jude’s eyes narrowed.

***

Daesung… no, I know very well that Ray is a brave warrior who will never be born again.

But even so, I can’t shake off the doubt.

‘…No matter how I think about it, it’s suspicious.’

Are you saying you can’t stand it without getting some air because you’re not getting enough sleep?

In other words, doesn’t that mean there is no sleep at all?

Even Hecaton Kale, who has ascended to the realm of gods, gets at least some sleep.

His words about taking walks all night have to be lies.

It’s probably just a vague bluff because someone obviously has some business they don’t want to reveal.

‘I truly acknowledged him, so I don’t really want to think about this, but…’

Jude secretly left the place, avoiding the eyes of others.

And then he carefully walked in the direction where Ray had disappeared.

‘This guy has a secret we don’t know about. ‘There’s no doubt about it.’

Yud expanded his entire body’s senses and followed Ray’s footsteps.

I also didn’t forget to be careful not to get caught during the chase.

At some point, we were completely outside the realm of Atlas.

At that time, Yud’s suspicions were also amplified.

“…!”

I could see Ray stopping in the distance.

Yud hurriedly bowed down and held his breath.

Soon he spotted a being approaching Ray.

‘human?’

No, for a human being, the spirit emanating from his body is unusual.

Looking at the chill that was vividly felt up to here, it seemed closer to a dead person than a living person.

‘More than that, why are you two…?’

It wasn’t like we suddenly ran into each other.

The two were approaching each other naturally, as if they had already known each other for a long time.

I’ve never heard from Ray that he has contact with the dead.

Rather, Titans have a habit of unconditionally rejecting those who are not of the same species.

‘What the hell is this…’

Yud’s eyes filled with confusion as he looked at the suspicious secret meeting.

But the next moment.

As if this was just the tip of the iceberg, an even more shocking scene unfolded before my eyes.

Suddenly, Ray’s chest began to split wide into two sides.

Cheok-.

It was also the sound of Ray’s heart breaking.

At the same time, it was the sound of Jude’s mouth opening up and down.

“….”

If my heart had just been torn apart, I wouldn’t have been so surprised.

However, how could one not be surprised by the scene of a human being jumping out of the cracked chest?

Jude, who was shocked, barely managed to stop the sound from escaping his mouth and looked ahead.

‘What… am I looking at something wrong now?’

At that moment, a white-haired human protruding from Ray’s chest began talking to the dead.

And behind that.

Ray was kneeling reverently on one knee.

As if the white-haired human in front of him was the king he served.

“Ah…”

Jude was on the verge of losing his mind.

What kind of Titan is that who never bows his head in front of anyone except Hecaton Kale and the Ascendants?

Even more so for the ascendant who just received everyone’s recognition and respect today!

‘It can’t be like this… It can’t be like this.’

It is desecration.

That is a terrible scene that tarnishes the honor of Atlas itself.

‘no. Maybe…’

At that moment, a possibility flashed through Jude’s mind.

perhaps.

The Ray over there is just a simple camouflage mask.

There is a possibility that that white-haired human may be the real ‘body’.

‘It’s not a possibility, it’s the truth!’

That white-haired human burst out through Ray’s body.

This means that until now, that human has been hiding inside Ray’s body and carrying out all his actions.

Yud’s eyes were bloodshot.

I felt like I wanted to run right away and slaughter them all.

but.

‘For now… I have to endure it for now.’

I calmly calmed down my anger.

Because I know.

Those are not people you can blindly attack based on your emotions.

He is a powerful enemy among powerful enemies who captured the water dragon’s treasure trove.

‘First of all, we have to go back and tell everyone about this. Until Titanomachia opens, somehow!’

widely-!

Yud hurriedly walked back the same way he had walked.

of course.

Even if he said it, it was unclear whether his compatriots would actually believe him.

But for now, it was best to go back and explain the whole story.

Living to tell the truth was the only way to protect Atlas’ honor.

That time when I ran and ran, leaving my anger and astonishment behind.

Hung-.

A magnificent shadow was cast over Yud’s head as he raced across the field.

“what…!”

The moment Yud, startled, raised his head to check the identity of the shade.

thud-!

An annihilating dragon landed close to him.

“I saw it.”

A cold, subdued voice echoed through the night air.

Jude slowly lowered his upward gaze.

And Daesung, who was riding on the back of the annihilating dragon, made eye contact.

Daesung said emotionlessly.

“I wish I didn’t know.”

“this guy…!”

Jud, whose face was covered in blood, trembled with anger and ground his teeth.

The coolness that had cooled my emotions all disappeared the moment I saw the enemy in front of me.

An uncontrollable scream of anger erupted without my knowledge.

“How dare you! “How can they tarnish and deceive our reputation in this way?”

“Your reputation is none of my business. “You are fools.”

“I cannot forgive you! Even if I have to lose my life here, I will definitely make you my companion on the way to the underworld!”

“If you want to do it, do it.”

“You abominable traitor!”

Yud rushed in, letting out indescribably loud cries of hatred.

Hwareuk-.

Flames rose from the Fire Flame Great Sword.

***

The day is bright.

Yud’s body could not be found anywhere in the field at dawn.
