Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell Chapter 117

# 117

If you follow the branches of the dimensional tree, you may be able to meet the devil.

Moreover, since the devil did not remember what happened before his return, it was the apostles who had the absolute upper hand.

“Then we will have no choice but to become a spirit and go to the land where it lives. In that case, let’s go quickly and take his life while he is off guard.”

The eyes of the sixth apostle, Einrich, began to emit an evil glow beyond the helmet that covered his face.

She was an apostle who was killed by a demon who had just come up from the dimensional water while protecting the Aboria Mountains.

While Einrich was radiating murderous intent as cold as frost, Armagan shook his head quietly and said.

“…Without our divine power, Heaven cannot endure for long. “As long as we sit on the apostle’s throne, we cannot leave heaven.”

“But you can’t just sit still, can you? It is also ambiguous to dispatch a being lower than an angel of rank. “If the apostle who preserved his memories goes down, the chances of successfully killing that demon will increase.”

“I’m not saying I won’t go. Well, as long as one apostle is absent, it won’t be a big problem.”

The apostles were silent.

That means someone has to carry the gun.

Armagan looked back at Lemuët in silence through the silence.

“The fact that you broke the Holy Grail must be carried with you for the rest of your life, no matter how much suffering or sacrifice you may have to endure.” Even if it was inevitable for the sake of the cause.”

“…Oh, I know.”

“Then you go and kill him. “Because this is the water you spilled.”

Lemuët, who heard those words, swallowed his dry saliva and grabbed the stone cabinet.

The devil’s ferocious appearance vividly appeared in my mind.

‘I…’

Because I broke the Holy Grail, twisted cause and effect, and ruined the apostles’ work.

‘You have to take responsibility…’

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t afraid. My stomach tingled as I remembered the devil randomly crushing the apostle’s head like cutting down weeds.

But I can’t say no here. Even putting aside fear and Malchus, the conscience and respect of an apostle did not allow such a thing.

I will do it.

The moment Lemuët was about to say those short words.

“I will go.”

Lemuët slightly trembled. The apostles moved their heads in the direction from which the voice came.

The person who raised his hand and said that was none other than Roderick.

Lemuët muttered softly with an incomprehensible look in his eyes.

“Rodrik…?”

“It’s late to reveal it. Actually, I was the one who asked Lemuet to use the Holy Grail of Cause and Effect. Everything was based on my judgment, and Mr. Lemuët simply listened to my request. So shouldn’t I be the one responsible?”

Of course, this was a surprising fact to the apostles, who knew that Lemuët had broken the Holy Grail by his own judgment.

Armagan looked at Roderick and Lemuët alternately with narrowed eyes.

This is to determine whether something is false.

But a conclusion was quickly reached.

There would be no reason for Rodrik to lie.

“Then I guess it’s you, Roderick, who must go and take responsibility and kill that demon.”

“….”

“You must succeed no matter what. “Don’t forget that heaven’s survival rests on your shoulders.”

Roderick nodded wordlessly with a determined look on his face.

***

Roderick, who transformed into a spirit body and looked like a thick fog, followed the endlessly extending tree branches.

As a spirit, he was free from the shackles of the material world, and he flowed and flowed, crossing or penetrating the boundaries of dimensions several times.

And soon.

“Oh my god…”

The moment Rodrik caught his eye on the point where the branches of the Dimensional Tree gathered together, he couldn’t hide his surprise.

blue star.

There was a planet there that was so beautiful that I was instantly enchanted.

It’s a planet so fascinating that it’s hard to believe it’s the land of the devil.

“….”

Roderick looked away from the blue star for a moment and glanced at the round object he was holding in his right hand.

At first glance, it looked like a black crystal ball, but in the very center of the surface was a single eyeball wriggling strangely.

Beholder.

It is a heavenly relic that tracks the object contained in the user’s memory.

‘The color of the Beholder’s tears became darker.’

Rodrik groped the Beholder, who was shedding tears as black as oil.

The closer the distance to the target is, the darker the color of the tears become.

In other words, it is certain that the devil exists somewhere on that blue planet.

“Go and lead me.”

Roderick muttered that and placed the beholder near the solar plexus.

Then the round beholder suddenly stretched out its vein-like tentacles and attached itself to his skin.

“…!”

An intense headache hit me like a storm was raging in my brain.

In the process of becoming the beholder’s host and sharing its information, there was tremendous pressure.

After a while.

“Whoa…”

A huge map was being drawn in Rodrik’s head after successfully assimilating with the Beholder.

The location of the place where the devil is!

‘I guess I can’t land on the ground as a spirit.’

Strictly speaking, a strong person of the level of an apostle was capable of interfering with the physical body of the material world even with his spiritual body.

However, if you go there with this foggy body, there is a high chance that you will attract attention from those around you.

‘I have no choice but to remain rigid.’

The best thing to do was to borrow someone’s body for a while to approach the guy. I didn’t want to draw attention and cause a scene.

‘The branches haven’t settled on that planet yet.’

It seems to be having a hard time being blocked by the atmosphere surrounding the star.

What will happen when those branches containing the space and time of the multiverse reach the blue star?… It

was clear that a huge and uncontrollable event would occur, but I decided to put the question aside for now.

Rodrik easily broke through the atmosphere and narrowed the distance to the ground.

The place that the Beholder’s memory led to was a peninsula surrounded on three sides by the sea.

‘If possible, it should reside in someone who has intact limbs and a solid soul that does not waver even when accepting a rigid body.’

If you rashly attempt to force a body on the body of a dying patient, your body and mind will be torn apart on the spot.

Rodrik peered into the light clouds flowing leisurely under the night sky and examined the ground closely.

‘That would be good.’

And soon enough, I was able to find a suitable target.

Grumble!

A university hospital in Seoul.

The nurse, who had been wasting her time sitting idly at the desk, looked to the side in surprise.

Work hours weren’t over yet, but my fellow nurse, who was chatting with her boyfriend on her cell phone, suddenly kicked off her chair and stood up.

“Hey hey. Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“….”

“Why does your face have that shit-chewing look on it again? “Do you want to go to the bathroom?”

The fellow nurse did not answer, but walked away from the desk and into the hallway where the elevator was located.

‘It is not a body specialized for fighting, but its soul is clear and has a high assimilation rate with the spiritual body. The rest of the flaws can be strengthened with my divine power.’

It was none other than Roderick, who had been transformed into the body of a young nurse.

He got into the elevator and pressed the button for the floor where the demon was.

Although it was my first time seeing an ‘elevator’, the related knowledge remained in my mind thanks to the influence of rigid bodies.

And…

‘Why is he in a place like this?’

This seems to be the planet’s medical facility that accommodates the sick.

I don’t know why the monster, which didn’t even blink an eye when attacked by the apostles, is in a place like this.

Ding-.

While I was consumed by suspicion, the elevator doors slid open from side to side.

Because it was late at night, the dark, unlit hallway stretched out in a straight line.

‘no. What’s strange? Time has been turned back. What that means is that this is a time when his body wasn’t very healthy.’

Then this is definitely auspicious!

Not only did he have no memories of before returning, but his condition was so critical that he had to be confined to a medical facility.

‘We will handle it quietly.’

However, since the opponent was an opponent, there was no intention of loosening one’s guard. It is impossible to let down your guard.

Ugh-.

A mace appeared in Rodrik’s hand as he quietly walked down the hallway without making a single sound.

Pop.

Soon he stopped in front of the hospital room where the guy was.

Small and thin door. Through this door, he is facing the monster that was like his nightmare.

My heart was beating violently, as if someone was hitting me with a club. I was out of breath.

It’s the limit. The moment when an impulse of unknown meaning rushed through his body.

-Suddenly.

Roderick turned the doorknob as carefully as he could and opened the door.

And….

“….”

There is.

That devil.

Even sleeping.

Thump thump! Thump thump!

It’s so loud that you can hear the throbbing sound in your ears, as if it’s going to explode at any moment.

However, my heart is not beating because I am nervous and scared because I am afraid of seeing the devil again.

‘Perfect!’

Pleasure. Joy. Joy.

The very poor environment in which he was currently in a deep sleep made him excited.

Where else can you find such a golden opportunity?

Failure is unthinkable unless you make some serious mistakes.

‘Aim for the head.’

Jerk.

After calming down his excitement, Roderick carefully approached the table next to the bed.

A distance of less than 1m. As soon as the sound of the sleeping guy’s breathing gets close enough to reach my ears.

bang-!

I channeled my built-up resentment into my anger and struck the guy’s head with force with my mace.

Cotton fluttered like feathers from the torn sheets, and the shattered bed split in half with a creaking sound.

“…?”

But that didn’t include the sound of his bones being crushed and his skull being destroyed.

Passu-.

The moment I hit the mace, his new form suddenly collapsed like a shadow.

‘No way…’

Trap?

At that moment, an eerie sensation suddenly ran down Rodrik’s spine.

-Sigh!

A large fist, as thick as a pot lid, came out from behind Rodrik’s back through the darkness of the hospital room.

“…!”

Roderick sensed the presence and quickly turned around, but it was already too late.

bang-!

“Ugh…?!”

Rodrik was already flying in the air when he felt that his vision was filled with something black.

The face of the strong female nurse was completely sunken.

Broken molars, mixed with blood, decorated the hospital room, and Rodrik’s body was smashed from the back of his head against the opposite wall.

‘Why why…’

The word ‘why’ did not leave Roderick’s consciousness as he was immersed in pitch black.

Beyond my vision, where blood vessels had burst and everything was dyed red, I could see a demon holding a mace and slowly coming towards me.

As if he knew everything.

As if he fully knew who you were and why you came here.

‘It couldn’t be like this… It couldn’t be like this…’

Cause and effect were twisted and time was turned back. It was said that Lemuët’s memory would be erased unless he was an apostle or higher. Could it be that she lies? No, that can’t be possible.

“I borrowed the body of a member of my own race… the innocent body of the same race as you.”

However, what actually came out of Roderick’s mouth were completely unexpected words.

“If you kill me… This person will be killed too…”

Zek.

The golden mace held in the rough hand rose upward as if it didn’t matter.

After seeing that, Roderick decided to just clear his head and accept death.

What on earth did you want from this devil to make such an ugly struggle?

Roderick, who thought he had stopped making foolish remarks as he was about to die, quietly closed his eyes.

“That’s none of my business.”

Listening to the devil’s short answer.

Kwasik-!

***

[The dead apostle’s divine power hovers around this place.]

[Absorbs the divine power of a 6th rank angel of rank. He inherits some of the powerful divine status of the Apostle.]

[Detects an error in the time axis. The divine power you possess cancels out the aftermath of distorted cause and effect.]

Daeseong wasted no time in using < Ghost Eyes > to look into the memories of the dead Roderick.

Because the memories of the strong-willed nurse were also mixed up, several scenes unfolded in a chaotic manner, but were properly filtered out.

After a while.

He learned that time had been turned back because Lemuët had broken the Holy Grail of Cause and Effect.

There is also the fact that those with divine power higher than that of an apostle will retain their memories even if they return.

‘You damn bastards.’

I thought I had met the apostles and priests, but suddenly my vision reversed.

And when I returned to Earth, I returned to the same hospital room I was hospitalized in.

-[You return to the spot where you returned to that dimension for the first time.]

With that message.

‘There is nothing wrong with my body. The powers, including < The Book >, remain intact, and the hellish system is also in operation.’

Before Roderick stormed in, he first checked the date on the calendar hanging in the hospital room.

We cannot overlook the possibility that he may have returned to 2 years ago, when he had just returned to Earth, or even 12 years ago, when he first fell into hell.

but.

-October 6, 2030.

‘It’s the same date as when I used < Connect > to transfer to the Plain Gate.’

Fortunately, the worst case scenario of going back a few years did not happen.

In any case, it only regressed to the point before transitioning to the plane gate.

‘It’s not like you’re acting like a scum.’

Of course, this does not mean that you can breathe a sigh of relief.

I went through all kinds of hardships and tore apart the apostles and the main gods, but it all ended up in nothing.

Swallowing his boiling anger, Daeseong summoned < The Book > and opened the page with the power of < Connection >.

Palak.

A piece of paper burned to ashes fluttered down onto the top of my foot.

“Damn it.”

It seemed that once the power of < Connection > had been used, it could not be reused again.

Suddenly, a flood of desperation comes over me and I feel like I’m losing my temper.

‘…There may be something in the void that could be a clue.’

However, we cannot sit down like this, soaked in emptiness.

The moment Daesung activated the store window through Fly, feeling like he was grasping at straws.

Tiring-.

[The heavenly system detects the divine status of a noble being.]

[A being with advanced divine power has visited the heavenly store. Welcome.]

[The heavenly system has been reorganized to the final version.]

[Shop in the future . You do not need to pay public points to purchase all items sold on .]

[Please feel free to choose the product you want.]

“….”

I was wondering what the use of magical power was, but it turned out that it was a free ticket to use the store system. .

Still, it seems like there is no harvest at all.
