Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell Chapter 107

#107

107

“You’re sure it’s safe here, right?”

“That’s it. Even if a nuclear bomb were to fall right from above, a few specks of dust would fall on the ceiling.”

“Damn, this is all because of that Han Dae-seong guy.”

“He didn’t come to the hearing three days ago, so we ended up staying in New York for four months.”

He said the underground bunker at the Federation headquarters was crowded with people.

None of them were civilians, and all of them were federation officials or high-ranking officials from the 16-nation hunter association.

“President. “We just received word that a monster has invaded a shelter in Manhattan.”

“….”

“The nearby hunters and the clan stationed in New York were all annihilated…”

At the report of the aide who received the news, the murmur that filled the bunker suddenly stopped.

President Sakai, his complexion pale, bit his lip.

It doesn’t matter to him that Manhattan’s shelters are open.

What was important was the news that all the hunters protecting New York had been killed by monsters.

This is heart-wrenching news, as the only hope is from outside hunters.

“Okay then!”

As the atmosphere in the mourning house became more intense, someone raised their voice.

At the place where everyone’s attention was focused was the association’s president, Park Jeong-ho, who was also unable to return to the mainland and was caught up in the current situation.

He spoke using common English to facilitate communication.

“If Manhattan’s shelters are destroyed, what will happen to the people still stranded in the city?”

“What do you want to say, President Park Jeong-ho?”

When President Sakai frowned and asked, Park Jeong-ho answered.

“It’s not too late. Please give instructions to the clan you can contact. “As soon as you find any civilians in the city, lead them to this underground bunker.”

President Sakai’s eyes widened as if those words had struck him in the back of the head with a hammer.

The audience, which had been dead quiet, began to become noisy once again.

“Civilians here?”

“I don’t think it’s a bad opinion. “The situation is like this, so we have to do something like that.”

“no no! Are you sane! “Regardless of whether it’s good or bad, if we want to admit outsiders, we have to reopen the bunker entrance!”

“that’s right. Then, the day a monster comes in, we will all die!”

The collection of portraits quickly turned into a forum for discussion where opinions clashed.

Opinions to open the entrance to accommodate civilians are outnumbered.

This is because someone’s words, ‘If a monster enters, everyone dies’ stimulated the anxiety of those here.

“We will assume that Association President Park Jeong-ho’s opinion did not exist.”

President Sakai’s calm words dispelled the commotion.

Park Jeong-ho’s mouth trembled.

“President Cho?”

“What many people have said is correct. “Rescuing civilians is important, but the risk we must take is too great to do so.”

“President, if you are the president, please don’t say things like that. “The top priority for the federation is always-.”

“Citizens’ lives? Yes, I know very well. Why don’t I know that? However, Association President Park Jeong-ho should cool his head for a moment and think calmly.”

“How on earth can you be so cold-hearted….”

“I’m asking you to look from afar. “If we open the bunker and we suffer disaster, wouldn’t that lead to the downfall of the entire ‘Federation’?”

The words ‘fall of the federation’ mentioned by President Sakai gave those around him an eerie feeling.

“And take a look around. Do many people agree with your opinion or with mine, the president?”

“….”

“Yes, minority claims should also be respected. “As long as it doesn’t directly lead to everyone’s death.”

Park Jeong-ho could not help but be speechless. It’s not because I was defeated by logic.

As the president said, looking around, it was clear that the overwhelming majority of people were agreeing with what he said.

Some people mutter that they are right, while others nod their heads silently.

‘Crazy guys!’

But we cannot be crushed by collective madness like this.

It was at that time that Park Jeong-ho was trying to continue his protest until the end with a cracked voice.

“It’s sophistry!”

The person who couldn’t bear it anymore and cried out was Joseph Nelson, the president of the American Hunters Association.

“What does it mean for the Federation to survive when people are dying! “Isn’t everyone just reciting plausible sophistry because they feel like losing their lives is a waste?!”

Joseph, who constantly raised his voice, spread his arms wide.

He said as if to look around.

“This place is so big! It’s twice as big as a civilian shelter! But there are actually less than 50 people here! But you’re saying we can’t accept civilians?!”

“Joseph you…”

President Sakai was uncomfortable with those words.

Partly because I was irritated by the fact that I was putting forward a correct opinion, and partly because I felt embarrassed raising my voice in front of the president himself.

“Hey, President Joseph. Even though America is your homeland-.”

“President!”

At this time, an aide’s call suddenly cut off President Sakai’s words.

President Sakai, who was already feverish, looked back at his aide with burning eyes.

The aide was shocked for a moment, but he had just received a call on the mechanical phone that required him to report.

“News is coming in from all over right now. Missouri, Texas, and Seattle were recaptured….”

“what?!”

The aide’s shocking report made everyone’s eyes the size of a flower lantern.

Even those who were squatting in the corner and denying reality were able to raise their heads.

President Sakai, anxious as if his feet were on fire, grabbed his aide’s shoulder and asked.

“New York?! “Has there been any news from New York?”

“…Yes, I don’t think it’s there yet.”

“Damn it, why can’t we just contact New York where we are… and tell the clans in the region that they said they have completely recaptured to move to New York right now?”

“I… it wasn’t recaptured by the clan.”

“what?”

“It is said that a summoned animal of a cold weather hunter has arrived in the United States.”

The moment he heard the name Han Dae-seong, various emotions flashed across President Sakai’s face.

Surprise, confusion, doubt, etc. But no matter what, the final feeling was ‘welcome’.

‘If Han Dae-seong is in America, New York will soon enter a lull!’

All suspicions that he was in collusion with monsters were blown away from my mind.

Now that the nation’s fortunes are at a critical juncture, all that remains is the good news that Daesung has flown to America to subdue monsters.

A little more time passes

“The news keeps coming in! Recapture Colorado, Kansas, and Washington! It is said that monsters in most of the southern region have been exterminated by summoned beasts!”

“yes!”

“Well done!”

The news continued one after another.

And finally.

“Retake Queen’s! People in Manhattan shelters are also said to be safe! Hunter Han Dae-seong came out in person! “They say the news came a little late.”

The news that those here wanted to hear the most came from the mouth of the aide.

“Then tell him to come to the federation headquarters quickly.”

At that time, President Sakai’s words continued.

bang-!!

“…?!”

“Aaaahhh-!!”

President Sakai, startled by the vibrations and screams that made him tilt his body for a moment, turned around.

And his mind became dizzy, as if everything before his eyes was turning pitch black.

Crrrrr-!!

“uh….”

centipede.

A centipede so large that it reached the ceiling of this large shelter rose up near him.

Kwasik-! Kwasik-!

While chewing on the body of the head of the Russian Hunters Association with his fangs buried deep in his mouth.

A level 2 dangerous species that appears only at gates hidden underground.

‘A different species of centipede.’

“Ughhhhh-!!”

The inside of the shelter became pure chaos.

In a situation where there are no hunters to protect you, the monster is also a level 2 dangerous species!

Daeseong is outside, and everyone, leaving Malchus, is dead.

Crrrrr-!!

Gooey blood dripped down the mouth of the heterogeneous centipede as it continued to chew on the president of the Russian association, who was already in tatters.

The people there quickly scattered to the corners of the shelter and scratched the walls like cats.

“help me-!!”

“mother! mother!”

The eyes of the heterogeneous centipede, which looked at them as they screamed with tears streaming down their face, drew a line.

left? right? It’s an expression that conveys the feeling that he’s going to eat those people somewhere first.

It was at that time that the heterogeneous centipede, which decided to eat from the right, opened its beast-like maw wide.

Crrr-!!

The heterogeneous centipede stretched out its head and bent over, looking at the ceiling.

And… Quaddeuk-!!

Suddenly it soared through the ceiling and began to dig into the ground and rise towards the ground.

“…huh?”

“uh?”

Those who were screaming looked up at the ceiling with a hole in it, questioning the unexpected situation.

Moonlight from the ground leaked into the shelter through the elongated hole that the heterogeneous centipede had just made.

And some people with good visual acuity saw it.

“for a moment. Could that be…”

Something like a dragon is swishing by under the sky above the ground.

[The authority < Provocation > is activated.]

[The authority < Provocation > is activated.]

[The authority < Provocation > is activated.]

Daesung has already ridden the annihilation dragon three times around the vast city of New York, unleashing the power of < provocation > excessively.

The pheromone, which attracts monsters up to 500 meters away, gathered all the remaining monsters in New York.

‘You’re following along well.’

While using < Provocation > without stopping, Daesung glanced down.

Doo doo doo doo!!

Kieeeeek-!!

Crrrrr-!!

Numerous monsters remaining in downtown New York or hiding in unseen places were following Daesung, drawn by < Provocation >.

It is a sight that would not be surprising if someone who did not know the circumstances saw it and fainted.

In Daesung’s eyes, it was no different from a sumptuous feast.

‘Let’s just drive to the outskirts.’

He continued to use < provocations > to ensure that the flow of action was not interrupted.

The sight of hundreds of monsters hiding everywhere chasing only the dragon in the sky was both bizarre and comical.

“ah!”

“The monster…!”

However, it was salvation itself for people who were unable to reach the shelter and were at risk of death after encountering monsters on the streets.

After a while.

A deserted outskirt of New York.

“It’s spectacular.”

Daeseong folded his annihilating dragon wings and landed on the ground, twisting the corner of his mouth and laughing.

Above a desolate land sparsely lined with abandoned buildings.

Crrr-!!

Kaaaaak-!!

Literally all the monsters in New York were crowded together, leaving no stone unturned.

Starting with grade 5 goblins.

Even a grade 2 dangerous species of centipede.

Monsters who were attracted to < Provocation > also reacted in confusion as to how they ended up here.

“Let’s send it all at once without wasting time.”

Crrr-!

When Daeseong tapped the neck of the annihilating dragon, it exposed its molars.

Even though it had been fighting the Statue of Liberty just a moment ago, the annihilating dragon showed no signs of fatigue.

“Instead, be gentle. “He shouldn’t blow up the city.”

Even if you kill them, there’s no chance of them surviving anyway.

That was the time when Daesung crossed his arms, thinking that those words were just a thought.

[The energy of annihilation is rising.]

Hwaaaa-.

Golden air currents gathered inside the annihilation dragon’s mouth, which was wide open up and down.

The moment when a torrent of immense power that had never been encountered before began to weigh down the monsters.

[The annihilating dragon pours out a beam of light.]

Kwaaaa-!!

The golden lightning fired by the annihilator dragon covered the group of monsters.

The dark night that fell over New York became as bright as day thanks to the exterminator’s breath.

The monsters caught up in the breath disappeared from the world, immersed in pure white light.

Pushik-.

The breath subsided and there was nothing where the lightning had passed. However, there is only black ashes scattered around, presumed to be from monsters.

“Good work.”

Ugh….

Daesung stroked the annihilating dragon, which was tired from breathing hard.

The annihilating dragon accepted his touch with open eyes, as if he was very happy.

Even though the breath stopped, the bright light still remained in the night street. Daeseong looked away from the annihilating dragon and looked ahead.

“This is it.”

Fields of orihalcon, glowing blue, filled the colorless wasteland.

For a moment, it was an enchanting sight, as if I was looking into a cave full of jewels.

[Orihalcon, which has passed the ‘discovery’ stage, moves to the ‘save’ stage.]

[Current Orihalcon holdings: 21491]

Orihalcon, which had entered the ‘save’ stage, began to crumble into dust with a crunching sound.

Darkness fell again and Daesung’s eyes, sensing that the end was not far away, suddenly gazed at the night sky beyond.

‘Bork is also doing well.’

A ghost ship floating in the sky was busily roaming around New York, launching chains attached to its bow towards the ground.

It may be because of Daesung’s order to put the people left on the streets on boats.

‘There’s no need for that anymore.’

As you can see, all of the remaining monsters in New York have now fallen victim to Breath in the outskirts.

Still, there will be some injured or dead, so it would be better to get the stragglers on board the ship for now.

That was when Daeseong was thinking about raising the exhausted annihilator and trying to move the area.

Kiiiiii-.

The loud noise that came through the wind like an echo made Daesung stop.

This is definitely it.

“monster?”

It was clearly the cry of a monster that should have been completely exterminated.

‘Is this the guy that < Provocation > couldn’t catch?’

The probability was low because he went around the New York area three times and repeatedly made < provocations >, but it was still the only possibility.

Normally, I would have cursed because it was annoying, but there was no need to do so now.

‘Shall we go?’

The more monsters there are, the more Orihalcon you can get.

***

While heading to the ghost ship floating in the sky, Daesung was able to find out why the monster remained in the city.

‘Was there a worm egg?’

Worms are insignificant earthworm-shaped monsters classified as level 4.

The danger level per individual is not as high as that of goblins, but instead, they lay eggs all over the field and compete with enormous quantities.

‘The guys in the egg can’t be caught by < provocation >.’

As soon as Daesung cleared out the monsters on the outskirts, he must have finished hatching one step late.

Pak-. Pak-.

The sound of an egg exploding rang out from inside the half-destroyed building.

And then a huge earthworm with a brown body crawled out.

‘Worms usually don’t attack first unless you get close. Even if it attacks, it’s not difficult to run away at human speed because it’s dulled.’

The worm simply wandered around New York City like a maggot and did not attack people from afar first.

Thanks to this, people were able to board the ship using the chain attached to the ghost ship without any significant damage.

“Now, don’t provoke me.”

“Slowly…. slowly….”

Of course, the swarms of worms scattered around made people extremely wary.

Daesung, who had been quietly watching the procession of people carefully climbing up the chain from the sky, shifted his gaze.

‘Then let’s handle the rest-.’

“This is the president of the Federation! “Let’s get the people here on the boat first!”

“Why are you even questioning something like this in a situation like this? “Are you guys out of your mind?!”

When the sound of a scuffle was heard below, Daesung’s eyes turned to the chain again.

A group of people in suits were in a confrontation with people who were on their way to board a sailboat.

And the faces of the group of people in suits looked very familiar.

‘They’re Federation bastards.’

Of course, President Sakai’s face is frequently reported in the media.

The faces of the heads of hunter associations from each country were also in the mix.

“We are the presidents of an association who hold important positions in a country! “Why is it so difficult to say that we should board the ship first?”

“The president of the association and the president have their turn numbers, right?”

“Who are you rudely raising your voice in front of now! Get out of the way!”

“Despite? Rude? “What kind of medieval kings are you?”

Looking down from above, I wondered if there was another situation that was easier to understand than this.

Federation officials who escaped the shelter after hearing the news mercilessly pushed people away, led by their aides.

‘They’re acting cute.’

How dare you put your status and power down in a situation like this?

Daesung snorted as if it were boring and then went down to the ground.

Huh!

“Uh oh!”

“Stand back!”

When the annihilating dragon suddenly intervened, people and federation officials hesitated and distanced themselves.

Soon Daeseong got off the annihilation dragon’s back and landed on his feet.

Just as I was about to do so, I made eye contact with President Sakai, who was standing blankly over the shoulder of the aide who was blocking my path.

“Ha, Han Dae-seong Hunter….”

President Sakai, who smiled awkwardly, pondered his first words.

Before that, Daesung gave a cold answer.

“Observe your turn.”

“What…”

“Burn the people first. “You guys next.”

President Sakai and other presidents of the association were impressed.

The aide, who noticed them, suddenly stepped forward and shouted.

“That’s not right! “First of all, the federation officials-.”

Kwa-ang!

Daesung’s fist, like a mace, exploded into the aide’s face.

The aide, whose nose was sunken deep into his face, fell unconscious on the floor without even screaming.

With this, the wall between Daesung and President Sakai disappeared.

“This is my boat, so why are you judging whether it works or not?”

“Ha, you hunter, Han Daeseong…! “What the hell is this!”

“If you don’t like it, don’t ride it.”

“Do you think you can get away with being rude like this?! How dare you assault a member of the Federation!”

“I told you not to ride if you don’t like it.”

“….”

“Aren’t you going to ride?”

“I’m going to ride, but….”

“Then take your turn.”

President Sakai, his face red, trembled his shoulders and covered his mouth.

Meanwhile, citizens climbed onto the ship with chains, sending sharp glares.

The crowds of citizens that filled the streets all disappeared, leaving only a group of people in league suits.

It was President Sakai who took the first step. Daesung suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

“What is it?”

“Observe your turn.”

“What is the turn?” Everyone’s on board, so isn’t it our turn now?!”

“Burn that person first.”

Daesung raised his index finger and pointed somewhere. The eyes of the president and association presidents moved in the direction indicated.

There, Chairman Park Jeong-ho, was there, turning his head and looking back.

Soon, Park Jung-ho realized that it was he who had been pointed out by Daesung and showed a bewildered reaction.

“Are you talking about me?”

“Let’s get in.”

The moment Daesung said that, pointing his thumb back to his chain.

Complaints poured in from all directions, enough to make his ears tingle.

“Where is this law?”

“you! “What is this joke about?”

“Is human life a joke?”

The president and association presidents rushed in with lights in their eyes.

Perhaps because of their anger, they were unable to think very clearly and rationally that they should not provoke the owner of the boat.

just as expected. Daesung only gave President Sakai a consistent answer.

“Observe your turn.”

“Can’t you see that I’m way ahead of that person?!”

“That boat is mine.”

“what?”

“So, deciding the turn is also up to me. “If it’s unfair, you can at least get a waiting ticket in advance.”

“this person…!”

“Move. A passenger is boarding the ship.”

With an uncomfortable look on his face, Park Jeong-ho squeezed through the gap and put his foot on his chain.

And just as he was about to walk away, he suddenly turned to Daesung and pointed somewhere.

“Mr. Daesung. “If possible, would you mind getting on the boat with me first?”

“….”

Park Jeong-ho was pointing to Joseph Nelson, president of the American Hunters Association.

Before I could ask why, Park Jeong-ho gave an answer.

“He was a person who did his duty until the very end and put the people of his home country first. “I want to ride with him.”

“Of course.”

Joseph, listening to the series of conversations, opened his mouth wide. Park Jeong-ho smiled faintly and motioned for me to come quickly.

Joseph thanked Park Jeong-ho, stood next to him, and started climbing the chain together.

“….”

Park Jeong-ho is okay.

He was the only ally who supported Daesung until the end even when he was with these stubborn people.

And if the person he recognized was Joseph, there is no reason why he could not be given priority.

So everyone, including Park Jeong-ho and Joseph, boarded the boat. Now it was truly the turn of those involved in the federation.

President Sakai wanted to swear as much as he could, but he cut it off. He realized that getting angry was useless.

President Sakai moved his feet.

chin.

This time, Daesung raised his hand to stop him.

“…?”

President Sakai’s round eyes turned to Daesung.

He was so embarrassed that he could barely control his voice.

“What again and again?”

“What should I do?”

Daesung sighed.

“All the seats are full.”

ping-! ping-! ping-!

A chain that was firmly embedded in the ground was recovered from the bow of the ghost ship.

The president and association presidents were dumbfounded and froze with their mouths wide open.

According to Park Jeong-ho, these are all people who suspected that Daesung was colluding with monsters.

“Like this….”

The only person among them who spoke in silence was Claude Noiret, the president of the French association.

“Is this how you get revenge for the hearing? “Am I right?”

“uh.”

Daesung coolly admitted.

Claude gritted his teeth as if the blood in his neck was about to burst… then took a deep breath.

Because now is the time to somehow appease that man.

“Mr. one. Think macroscopically.”

“what?”

“We are the president of an association responsible for the fate of a country. Besides, this person is the president of the federation.”

“so?”

“If something happens to us, what will happen to the country then? Who is responsible for all those hunters? “Who will run the association?”

“….”

“I understand that you are upset about the hearing. “I apologize.”

Claude bowed his head deeply with a heavy face.

President Sakai, who was reasonably quick to notice, also politely put his hands together and offered an apology.

“sorry. Han Dae-seong hunter. When the situation calms down a bit, the hearing will just be ignored. “I am truly sorry for not knowing and daring to doubt the hero of humanity.”

Starting with the president’s apology.

In the end, a truly shocking scene unfolded where even the presidents of associations in other countries bowed their heads all at once.

Daesung scratched his head.

“thanks. “Now you finally believe me.”

When they heard me say thank you, relief and anger appeared on their faces.

-thud!

I didn’t know why Daesung suddenly stamped his feet on the ground.

[The authority < Provocation > is activated.]

[Focuses the attention of enemies recognized by the user within a 500m radius.]

Gurgling-. Gurgling-.

Suddenly, they straightened their backs and looked around as they heard screams coming from all directions.

The worm caught in the < provocation > was crawling towards where they were.

“omg!”

“what!”

President Sakai looked back at Daesung in horror and was astonished.

Because he is already preparing to fly on the back of the annihilation dragon.

“Hantaeseong Hunter!”

“Being thankful is being thankful and you should be punished. apologize? done. Fuck you. “Because the ship has already left.”

“Ooh we! Without us! “Without us…!”

“What can I do without you guys?”

Daesung said, shaking off their desperate outstretched arms like a dead man in hellfire.

“If the world were to be ruined if just one of you died, it would have been ruined long ago.”

The moment he flew into the sky.

The worms that came in droves rushed at the president and the presidents of the association.

“Aaaahhh-!!”

“Kkeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…?!”

“help me! help me-!!”

“Help me-!!”

Teeth like kitchen knives ripped and bit into their limbs and faces.

The acidic fluid rising from the worm’s esophagus dissolved their bones and flesh.

They had to struggle in pain until they could barely breathe.

A spectacular sight where blood soaks the asphalt and screams of pain reverberate throughout the earth.

‘Shall we rest for a bit?’

Daesung leisurely watched from above and lit a cigarette.

-Chik.
