Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell Chapter 139

# 139

139

No matter how hard I tried to think about the red-eyed ball ‘Bom’, I couldn’t understand it.

Since the end of frozen time, nearby humans have been transferred to the ‘Tower of Germination’ a total of six times.

About 50 to 70 people at a time. In other words, 300 to 350 humans have set foot in this tower so far.

Naturally, there were quite a few people who were angry at being suddenly transferred and resisted.

There were definitely people among them who were strong enough to be surprising.

It seemed that on this blue planet, humans who were stronger than the average were referred to as ‘hunters’.

Then what should I do?

They all died in vain, like moths that fell into a lamp, to me, the instructor of this ‘Tower of Germination’.

No matter how hard we try. These star races cannot defeat themselves.

But

< Quek! >

What is this guy doing?!

Bom let out an ugly scream and fell headlong to the floor.

bang-!

Soon, a kick like a mace hit the guy without giving him time to rest.

< Ugh! You bastard! >

The red eyes scattered around the round body converged on one point.

jing-!

Bom fired a beam with the maximum power it could produce.

Daesung spread his palms wide and stretched them forward.

Then the beam was blocked by his palm like a curtain blocking the sunlight.

You don’t even have any intention of avoiding it and just attack it with all your might as if it’s natural!

Spring couldn’t help but be surprised.

< That was a laser that even melted the scales of the dragon race! >

“I am not a dragon.”

< Are you really human?! >

“Stop talking nonsense. I must have told you to guide me to the 50th floor, right?”

bang-!

One iron fist struck the spring.

The fuselage, which was smooth as a bowling ball, is now as insignificant as a wad of paper crumpled in a child’s hands.

The red eyes, which were densely covered like spots, are now even more difficult to find intact ones.

‘This power… can’t come out unless you surpass the 100th floor!’

However, according to statistics updated in real time, the current record of the highest human in the tower is the 72nd floor.

No, even if this monstrous human had surpassed the 100th floor, it would still be strange.

Because he, the instructor, was designed so that even humans who cleared the 100th floor and graduated from the top couldn’t win anyway.

‘This human is Irregular!’

Bom, hit by a powerful uppercut, soared high into the sky.

However, there was no concept of a ceiling in the waiting room on the first floor, so I fell along with gravity without falling anywhere.

Before colliding with the floor, Daesung’s knee swung at perfect timing and sent Bom flying far away.

‘I don’t know what it is, but I can’t win!’

I eventually gave up.

If things continue like this, it is clear that it will become a waste product.

Daesung picked up the crushed spring that had fallen down.

< Ah, crackle-. Okay... 50th floor... crackling. All you have to do is take it to the 50th floor. >

“One more thing. “Get everyone out here.”

< What what...? >

Bom was blatantly embarrassed.

Daesung thought about sending people out through the dark crevice he had entered, but shook his head.

There is no guarantee that the gap is an intact exit, and even if it is intact, the outside is directly connected to the magma.

The safest way is to borrow the power of this strange ball.

< I'm not lying, that's impossible! It is possible to move it to another floor, but it is not possible to send it out of the tower! >

“Didn’t you say there is an exit on the 100th floor of this tower?”

< ...How do you know that? > I

clearly said that the only exit is on the 100th floor, but that was only said when this monster-like person had not yet appeared.

But spring probably doesn’t know.

The fact that a message that only he can see is appearing in Daesung’s field of vision.

[You have entered the ‘Tower of Germination.’]

[There are ‘obstacles’ placed on each floor of the tower. Break through the ‘obstacle’ and head to the next floor.]

[You can obtain a reward each time you overcome a ‘difficulty’.] [To exit

the tower, overcome 100 floors of difficulties.]

“There is a way to move to another floor. “If possible, we could just send the people here straight to the 100th floor.”

< That's true, but... >

Bom stopped talking while trying to dissuade him, saying that it wasn’t a very good idea.

A black heart passes through the circuit.

Don’t you feel resentful that you are just playing around with this man’s tricks?

< Well, is that the only way? Of course, if you take the exit on the 100th floor, you can go straight to the outside world. >

“Then do it.”

< Oh, okay. It's not that difficult. Oh my... I shouldn't be like this... >

“Me too.”

< ...What? >

“Send me too. “On the 100th floor.”

The words disappeared from Bom’s mouth after hearing the unexpected words.

I didn’t expect you to follow me.

Didn’t he send people to the 100th floor and go to the 50th floor alone?

‘Damn, if it happens like this, the plan will go wrong?’

There is definitely an exit on the 100th floor that leads to the outside.

However, if you don’t get rid of the guard guarding the exit, you’ll be headed outside and straight into the netherworld.

‘Chimera Giant Dragon.’

As the name suggests, it is a composite creature that is a half-fusion of a titan and a dragon.

Both are artificial, almost fake, so they are crude and weak compared to the real thing… but in any case, they are difficult to overcome with human strength.

Defeating him is the challenge of the 100th floor.

In other words, if people who have not yet received weapons or ‘talents’ go there, they will only be slaughtered by the chimeras.

‘But if this human follows…’

This monster was hit with its bare body by a red ray that could even melt a giant dragon, but did not receive a single wound.

So, it is obvious that he will be able to easily defeat the Giant God Dragon.

Can not be done. This person cannot be sent to the 100th floor.

Somehow, Bom had to watch the humans on this first floor become prey to the giant dragon and die in droves.

That’s the only way to give this monster a shot, even if it’s just timid!

“Why are you doing that? Is there any problem?”

< No, it's not a problem... what should I say. It's not difficult to send you and them to the 100th floor. It's gum. But as I said before, the 100th floor is the exit that connects to the outside world. >

“So?”

< Didn’t you say you had some business to do in the ‘core’ on the 50th floor? However, if I go straight to the 100th floor, I will have to leave the tower before I can finish my business. Is that okay? Please note that once you leave the tower, you cannot re-enter. >

Boom!

Once again, the huge soles trampled the spring like thunder.

Spring cried.

< Why again, why?! >

“Because I lied.”

< What a lie! I didn’t lie or anything! >

“Yes, there will be an exit on the 100th floor. Like ‘difficulty’.”

< ...! >

“I don’t know what it is, but at least it won’t be a challenge that the people here can survive and overcome. “Do you think I don’t know about their dirty plan of sending them to kill everyone?”

The system said. To leave the tower, you have to overcome the ‘obstacle’ on the 100th floor.

So Bom’s words that you can go straight to the outside world as soon as you arrive at the 100th floor are obvious and childish threats.

Spring became distant in my mind.

How much does a person who must have set foot in the tower for the first time know?

In particular, the facts about Melcanon, the ‘core’ great sage on the 50th floor, must be a top secret known only to him, the person in charge of the tower, and the ‘old guard’ who ordered the design.

“I’m going to the 100th floor.”

< ...Oh, okay. >

Bom connected to the tower’s system connected to his main body.

Soon, a warp gate opened in the middle of the waiting room on the first floor.

***

Kuhuung-!

Bom was dumbfounded by the development that did not go beyond what was expected.

< .... >

The giant god dragon died with a round hole in the exact center of its giant body.

Bom arrived at the 100th floor and checked the time until the Giant God Dragon fell.

1 minute 30 seconds.

The time seemed to be measured with a knife, to the point where I wondered if it was done on purpose.

For reference, the Giant God Dragon is designed to be attacked only if you invest at least 15 days.

Even that monstrous person doesn’t have a single drop of sweat on his face.

‘…I’m out of my mind. ‘Is that guy really a resident of this planet?’

He dodged the giant dragon’s claws and tail and confidently took the breath coming out of its mouth, and used his fists appropriately.

In the meantime, he was careful to draw the Giant Dragon’s attention to himself so as not to harm the 50 people standing quietly behind him.

‘…Or perhaps the human sample survey was insufficient?’

Spring thought.

Maybe there are superior individuals on this planet who reign higher than those called ‘hunters’. However, it may just be something that has not been discovered until now.

It is not a wrong imagination at all.

They’re just not ‘objects’.

When the giant dragon fell, a warp gate opened inside the field.

It is an exit that leads directly to the outside.

Fifty people approached the warp gate with faces full of emotion.

“This favor… I don’t know how to repay this favor!”

“Thank you, I really appreciate it!”

“You are truly the savior of mankind. When I go out, I’ll tell people what happened here!”

“Hehehehehe… Thanks to the hunter, my only son doesn’t have to live as an orphan.”

Of course, they didn’t board the warp gate right away.

Each of them shed tears and expressed their gratitude to Daesung.

As much as the joy of getting out of here alive, the guilt and regret of not being able to immediately repay Daesung, his benefactor, was also great.

‘This, this… arm…’

And Bom, looking at that touching scene, was astounded.

If you had something called ‘five organs and six parts’, you would have been twisted by now.

The humans who were called to the 6th transfer left the 100th floor without even lifting a finger.

These are the humans who need to be trained from the 1st floor to the 100th floor and brought to the ‘salvation guardian’ in a warm condition!

‘Damn it! ‘How should I explain this to them?’

In fact, humans climbing the tower are ‘brainwashed’ without realizing it every time they pass through a floor. The tower continuously sends out radio waves of a specific wavelength.

The content of brainwashing is simple.

‘Stick to the side of the Gishin tribe and cooperate in the great war ahead.’

So, even if a human who has faithfully stepped up to the 100th floor by taking the steps one by one catches the Giant Dragon and goes to the outside world, he has no choice but to turn his back on humanity.

This is why we prepared the tower.

Training strong warriors!

Currently, the tower is in its early version, so it can only transfer humans.

However, if we continue to develop it, one day we will be able to bring in more dimensional races and turn them into crazy warriors who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Kishin tribe.

But who would have known that something like this would happen already?

‘Ahh…. ah…!! I’m in trouble. There is really no answer to the anger of the Old Generation Guardians…. Let’s see, it got messed up once.’

50 humans have already left the tower. It’s spilled water.

To make up for this mistake, you have to offer them at least that human head.

It was a time when I was struggling with the bustling spring, wondering if there was anything I could do.

“Give it to me.”

< ...? >

Daesung suddenly said that while waving his right hand.

< Why are you giving me away...? >

“I have overcome the 100th floor obstacle. Give me compensation. “Stop pretending you don’t know.”

< Oh no, you really... >

“I know that you are rewarded every time you overcome an obstacle.”

< No, that's true, but... didn't you say you had business on the 50th floor? >

“Business is business, and you have to get what you deserve. Otherwise, why did I need to go through such trouble to beat that guy?”

< .... >

It wasn’t that hard.

He is truly a terrible human being.

It’s time to give this monster the 100th floor reward that no one has taken yet.

If you refuse to give it to me, you will be beaten to the point where I won’t die again.

There was no such thing as a choice.

< Damn it... I'll get it! You can give it to me! Take it and rot! >

Bom let out an angry curse and approached one wall of the tower.

jing-.

And when a device on the wall radiated a faint light, a blue bracelet appeared in front of Daesung.

bracelet.

Daesung’s eyebrows, who had expected something grandiose, arched upward.

“This is the 100th floor reward?”

< What is it? Those eyes. Are you really doubting me? It’s unfair! >

“Is it because it’s a machine that it has no conscience? “Don’t just throw me a bracelet and say it’s unfair.”

< What? A bracelet like this? A bracelet like this~? >

Bom trailed off and suddenly started shaking.

Could it be that he is suggesting an emotional state where he is going crazy from frustration?

< Listen carefully, you human! That is the ‘King of All Diseases’, the most powerful weapon created with great effort by the first researchers of our Kishin tribe! It's an item worth acquiring only for those who risked their lives to climb 100 floors and slay the Giant Dragon! >

“….”

< When we make something, we use a metal you don't know called 'orihalcon' as the main resource. . Even if we tried all the minerals and resources buried in the land of your planet, we wouldn't be able to get as much as a handful of orihalcon powder. However, the panacea given to you is something that can only be made by grinding exactly 9.75 million pieces of orihalcon! > “I see.

”

Hearing that absurd number, I felt a little bit lost.

A weapon that can be made by grinding close to ten million pieces of orihalcon.

Additionally, only 4,000 orihalcons were used to equip the ‘plasma cannon’ on the annihilator dragon.

Nevertheless, it showed a destructive power so powerful that it almost turned the heavens into a sea of fire, and even more so because it was a weapon made by 9 million Orihalkons gathered together.

It was hard to imagine what kind of formidable power it would unleash.

Clap!

When I brought the bracelet close to my right wrist, it coiled like a snake, as if it were alive.

[You have obtained the ‘Tower of Germination’ 100th floor reward, ‘King of All Illnesses’.] [

Unless the Absolute One wants to unlock it, King of All Illnesses will become your companion in war forever and lead its owner to victory.] [Item Information

]

Name: King of All Diseases

Category: Equipment

‘The king of all weapons created with passion by researchers who are considered to be the best among the Gishin tribe. Only great warriors who have graduated from the tower and have reached their full potential can be qualified to wield the king’s power.’

Unique performance: Flexible transformation into the desired form of weapon by the user. The weapons include spears, swords, bows, gauntlets, shields, as well as guns and grapes. However, it cannot be transformed into one-time weapons such as bombs or missiles, or weapons over a certain mass.

In short, it was an item that was temporarily in the form of a bracelet for ease of installation and could freely change its appearance as the user desired.

‘Not bad.’

No, it’s actually better.

Besides the Fire Flame Greatsword, I have acquired a weapon that will be useful when fighting.

Daesung immediately tried to check the performance of King of All Diseases.

Let’s think of wanting to hold a ‘spear’.

Sigh-!!

The bracelet broke into small pieces like particles, increasing its mass, and soon a 2m long spear with a double blade was held in Daeseong’s hand.

In any case, the window was chosen for verification purposes and there was no particular reason.

However, an intuition struck me that it was something more than I expected.

A spear is a spear, but I thought it might have more uses than simply stabbing and swinging.

“Go to the 50th floor.”

< Ugh... >

Meanwhile, Bom was on the verge of going crazy when she saw Daeseong looking somewhat satisfied.

It’s like giving wings to a tiger or even a dragon.

‘We have to kill him on the 50th floor somehow…!’

The 50th floor is where the ‘core’ is located.

This means that the ‘brain’ of Great Sage Melcanon, which contains vast knowledge and memories, forms the basis of this tower.

In fact, it could be said to be the most important core of this tower. So it was placed exactly in the center, on the 50th floor.

‘I don’t know what purpose that monster is looking for the core for, but we have to stop it from touching Melcanon!’

Bom didn’t stop thinking and opened the warp gate leading to the 50th floor.

***

[Arrived at the 50th floor.]

The condition for breaking through the 50th floor was to answer the riddle posed by Melcanon, the central axis of the tower.

It is a format in which questions are asked based on the experiences and things that have been seen while climbing the tower.

Of course, there is no need for Daesung to join in on the quiz show.

‘There it is.’

Daesung saw a young man from the Hekar tribe sitting cross-legged in the innermost part of a cave-like cave.

In this tower, if you talk about the Hekar tribe, it is Melcanon without even asking.

As a great sage, I imagined an old man with white hair and a beard, but it was surprising.

‘Tentacles connected to the head and limbs.’

Melcanon was doing the same thing as the fire giant.

It’s definitely true.

Melcanon is also brainwashed and serves as the gatekeeper of the tower.

‘First of all, he’s not dead. All you have to do is stay alive.’

The first worst case scenario, where Melcanon was already dead, was avoided.

Even though I was brainwashed, I just need to get rid of that.

Daesung looked back at Bom and asked.

“How can I bring Melcanon back to sanity?”

Whiiing! Whiiing!

Unknowingly, warp gates in the center of the field burst into light one after another.

Soon, about thirty humans began to appear.

“Huh what? “Isn’t this the 50th floor?”

“Oh my gosh! The 50th floor? “I was climbing to the 60th floor!”

“I just broke through the 50th floor? “What kind of dog-bone case is this?”

They also reacted in confusion, perhaps because it was an unexpected situation.

After hearing the story roughly, it seemed like they had already surpassed the 50th floor a long time ago.

< On each floor of this tower, time rotates at a random rate. >

At this time, Bom suddenly spoke.

< In some layers, 1 second of reality is counted as 1 hour, and in other layers, 1 second of reality is counted as 1 year. Those who have surpassed the 50th floor are those who have been fighting in the battlefield of the tower for at least 100 years. >

“Did you call me?”

< Yes. All humans on the 50th floor or higher were summoned here. >

“Why?”

< To make you die! >

Bom’s eyes flashed red.

Thirty-year-old people who heard the guy’s shout focused their attention in the direction where Daeseong and Bom were.

< I will give you strength! >

Hwiiing!

At that time, forearm-length portable cannons were placed one by one in front of the people.

< The reward for the 99th floor is ‘Dragon Killer’! A weapon that can even pierce the scales of a black dragon! There is no need to overcome difficulties! I’ll give it to you for free! >

People murmured. Daesung’s frown became grim.

Bom chuckled.

< You use it to kill the human next to me! No need to go to the 100th floor! If you kill this guy, I will immediately send you out of the tower! >

This man is strong. Enough to defeat the 100-story giant dragon in just 1 minute and 30 seconds.

But… But can they really overcome the 30 superhumans who have surpassed the 50th floor and all of them equipped with the 99th floor’s reward dragon sprayer?

Besides, I have no intention of leaving it to them alone. Bom himself had already decided to join in.

‘No matter how much he can fly and crawl, he won’t be able to overcome this combination!’

It is a ridiculous taboo that colors the order of the tower into chaos.

Originally, it was never supposed to be done, but Bom was convinced after hearing Daesung say that he would undo Melcanon’s brainwashing.

He intends to take Melcanon with him.

In a word, it means destroying the very foundation of ‘Top’s’ existence.

As long as it can be prevented, this level of behavior is not even a taboo.

Even the old guard will understand!

< Come on! Why are you hesitating? It's not a lie. I swear to my people that if you just kill this human, I will send you out to the outside world! >

“….”

< Pick up the dragon spray! And fight! There is only one enemy! >

“….”

< ...Huh? >

Bom was embarrassed.

It’s worth it. This is because the atmosphere was moving in a completely different direction than expected.

“Handaeseong, right?”

“Yes, that Han Dae-seong…. the savior of the East….”

“He was in the tower too.”

“Being on the 50th floor doesn’t mean you’ve received many rewards.”

Each person broke into a cold sweat as they looked at the expressions on the faces of the people next to them.

In the spring, if sweat glands exist, I felt like breaking into a cold sweat.

< You guys... Why are you still? Are you telling me to pick up the dragon spray? That's the 99th floor reward. Or perhaps you didn’t understand what I meant? >

“….”

< You idiots! Instead of just glaring like a goldfish, try saying something! Why are you staying still! One person, one person! If I just kill him, he’ll let me graduate right away!? >

“…That’s harder.”

< What? >

At this time, a young woman spoke first on behalf of the group.

She was the first person in the tower to climb the 72nd floor.

“No matter how much we use dragon spray and everything, we can’t beat him.”

< What are you saying, you bitch... hey, are you in your right mind-. >

“You’re saying this because you’re in your right mind.”

She took a step back from the dragon spray placed on the floor.

People also bowed their heads with heavy expressions as if agreeing with her opinion.

“We’ll just go up to the 100th floor.”
