Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell Chapter 72

# 72

072

The Giant of Chaos.

The moment the name came out of the mouth of the ‘man in the dark’.

thud-!

Sagat’s vision began to fluctuate, as if space itself was turning upside down.

-Don’t try to find out any more.-

-At best, the last four years who have obtained the mark of ‘Taker’ should be thankful that they know of his existence.- -The

time for revenge… The moment for war is coming. It comes. Until then, we just have to lay the foundation to raise the banner of victory.

– -Don’t waste time. Gather sacrifices to awaken him as soon as possible and recruit soldiers who will share our fate. That’s your job. –

Sagat destroyed the organization he worked for and brutally killed his colleagues and boss just based on his mood.

A person who can kill without hesitation just for pleasure.

However, even Sagat, who had such a cruel temperament, could not rebel against the ‘man in the dark’ at that time.

‘I might die…!’

‘If you challenge me, I will definitely lose!’

The man’s powerful spirit turns a colorless space pitch black. Because I trampled and erased her rebellious spirit that was welling up without a trace, knowingly or unknowingly.

-Sacrifice… I have to collect the sacrifices….-

-I have to make up for my mistakes. Lee Seok-Woo I have to somehow fix my mistakes caused by that idiot…

– -If I don’t do it, I will be punished. That guy is a guy who can do that. –

Sagat, who was impatient, eventually decided to hurry and collect the sacrifice.

like that.

She planned to blow up the gates of Seongnam, currently the most gated city in South Korea.

‘This is what happened.’

Countless monsters are released through fractures that occur at sixteen gates.

As a result, they tried to destroy the city and take away as many sacrifices as possible.

Of course, that plan has now been completely and thoroughly ruined by Daesung.

-Oh my gosh…!-

And Sagat’s memory ended with the sight of Daeseong, his entire body drenched in blood, rushing forward and swinging his flaming sword.

Daesung, who lifted < Devil Eyes >, sighed lightly and let out cool breath.

“It’s fun, it’s fun.”

I was able to learn a lot.

At the same time, many other questions were filling my mind.

A man in the dark who gave orders to Sagat in a colorless space.

And the Titan of Chaos.

No matter how much I searched through Sagat’s memories, there were no clues that could lead to their existence.

But this one thing was certain.

‘They are the ones who threaten my world.’

For Daesung, ‘world’ did not simply refer to the land of this Earth.

Those precious people who stayed by his side.

Hye-jeong, Ji-soo, and Seong Chan-ho.

Their existence constituted the world in which Daesung lived.

And now I have come to know about those who arbitrarily entered that world and tried to cause havoc.

‘We must eradicate everything.’

Daesung thought.

He said he would kill them all without leaving a single one behind.

Sagat is now a cold corpse, and one ‘Dimension Taker’ who had been collecting sacrifices and soldiers has disappeared, so that alone should have been enough of a warning to them.

‘I’ll go there first.’

It wasn’t a warning not to come and visit me carelessly as I was standing here holding my ground.

It was a warning that from now on I am going to kill you.

I hope that the message was clearly conveyed to them.

Daesung once again looked at the crystal ball he was holding in his hand.

“I did something…”

Thanks to stealing Sagat’s memories, I was also able to find out the identity of the crystal ball she was carrying.

This was the catalyst.

‘Breaker.’

It is a catalyst that can forcibly destroy the Gate, a door that connects dimensions.

Sagat attempted to cause a fracture by installing breakers at each gate in Seongnam City.

When the switch is turned on, the breaker gradually destroys the gate surrounding the other-dimensional world over the course of about an hour.

When the gate is completely destroyed, what people know as a ‘fracture’ occurs.

‘It was a dangerous item.’

If the breaker completely clears the gate, it disappears somewhere along with the field.

However, the breaker in Daesung’s hand has not been switched on yet.

There was no need to hastily dispose of it.

‘What do we do.’

At first, I was conflicted about whether it would be better to keep the existence of Breaker to myself…

but then Daesung shook his head.

‘It would be good for the association to know as well.’

It was not a decision made out of an unnecessary sense of mission.

Since an object capable of forcibly creating a fracture was discovered, it was beneficial for Daesung in many ways for the association to know about it rather than hide it.

‘Once they learn about the use of breakers, the association will become more alert.’

Even though you can never blindly trust them, the Association is also a entity that protects the Earth from monsters.

It wouldn’t be a bad story if Breaker’s information could serve as a reason to strengthen their discipline.

At that time, Daesung thought that as soon as he left the gate, he would immediately inform Association President Park Jeong-ho of the existence of Breaker.

Wing- Wing-

“Huh?”

A small light sparkled in Sagat’s arms.

No, it wasn’t just Sagat.

The same light leaked out from the body of Kang Ki-beom, who died in a miserable manner.

“What’s this?”

As soon as he had doubts, Daesung reached into Sagat’s arms and snatched the light.

[The power possessed by the ‘Dimension Taker’, a being of soul, permeates the body of the Absolute.]

[Power: < Stealth > has been acquired.]

[Power: < Flame Death > has been acquired.]

The light held in the hand is like a bubble. It flowed and seeped into Daesung’s body, and at the same time, the system began sending out such messages.

‘If it’s < Stealth > and < Salvage Death >…?’

And after absorbing the power, Daeseong realized that another type of power was overflowing within his body.

A different energy from the ‘magic power’ that enabled the skills of Hell to be unleashed.

The power possessed by the beings of the mixed world.

And the source that allows humans to ‘awaken’ to whom some of that power has been transferred.

“ether?”

It was ether.

Every time I grabbed the core from killing a monster, the same energy I vaguely felt flowed through my body.

So you can be sure. This was clearly ether.

“….”

An unexpected additional harvest!

With this, in addition to ‘horsepower’, ‘ether’ can also be used.

“Where…”

Daesung, who wanted to test his new power, easily raised the ether.

The method of using ether itself was not much different from using magic power, so it was not difficult.

The moment Daesung secretly extended his arm towards Kang Ki

– beom.

[The power < Flame Death > is activated.]

Sigh-!

Kang Ki-beom’s remains, which had been lying around helplessly, began to shake.

< Flame Death > is the power to control the opponent with ether woven into a thread.

Daesung freely manipulated Kang Ki-beom’s remains, like changing channels on a television with a remote control.

“….”

Daesung focused on the feeling of the thread connected to his fingertips.

At that moment, the intangible threads connected to Kang Ki-beom’s limbs changed their connection into a mass of sparkling light on his body.

And then the thread wraps around the light.

Pak-!

When Daesung pulled his arm, light tied to a thread flew towards him.

Daesung skillfully caught the beam of light and confirmed the information of the power.

[You have acquired the power < Provocation >.]

< Power information >

Provocation

[Temporarily focuses the attention of enemies on the user of the power.]

[While the power is activated, all of the user’s stats are increased by 20%.]

Like a coin . It was a power with distinct pros and cons, like two sides.

Of course, it should have been an advantage for Daesung, who was confident that he could destroy no matter how much attention he received from his enemies, so there was no reason for it to be a disadvantage.

Daesung, having obtained all the harvest he could, resumed his actions.

All that remains is to defeat the boss monster and close the gate.

Previously.

‘If I’m not careful, people will misunderstand that I killed Kang Ki-beom for no reason.’

Although Daesung was the one who killed Kang Ki-beom, it was only self-defense.

And only if we secure evidence that the members of < Nether > were killed by Sagat will there be no regrets.

And it was very simple to get the evidence in hand.

‘If you entered the gate for joint training, you would have recorded the training process.’

Click –

It was enough to remove the ‘small recording camera’ attached to the Auror armor of the dead members.

“Then…”

Now it’s time to kill the boss monster and close the gate.

Pot-!

Daesung’s new form quickly moved through the cave.

At most, it is a level 4 normal gate.

It only took three minutes for the last remaining gate in Seongnam City to disappear.

***

For hunters belonging to a clan, if there is no specific attack schedule, it is safe to say that day is just a holiday.

However, hunters belonging to the association are required to stamp their attendance with the association even if there is no attack schedule. Like a civil servant.

But today.

“You haven’t heard from hunter Go Gwang-hyeon?”

Park Jeong-ho heard that a hunter known for his sincerity within the association had been absent from work without permission.

The anxious voice of a subordinate rang out from the receiver connected to the chairman’s office.

< I've been trying to call you since a while ago, but you never answer. I think the president of the association should know as well... >

“Have you tried calling the direct number?”

< I contacted all of the hunter’s dedicated communicators and personal cell phones. >

“It’s suspicious. I’m not the type of person to go into hiding without saying a word… Hmm, I understand. “Don’t stop and keep in touch.”

< Yes, I understand. >

Park Jeong-ho put down the receiver and sighed, wrinkled his aching neck.

Secretary Lee Ha-won saw that and offered him another cup of coffee to cheer him up.

“Thank you.”

“You must be very worried.”

“….”

Park Jeong-ho said, looking at the coffee smoke rising gently from the pure white mug.

“Encountering an incident whose cause and background are unknown is like wandering in the dark without a light.”

“….”

“So much has happened recently. “I don’t even know how the world works.”

“I understand.”

Just as Park Jeong-ho lamented helplessly, too many incidents have occurred in a short period of time recently.

The sudden destruction of the < Red Demon >. And the ‘fusion ampoule’ they mass-produced in extreme secrecy.

Above all, there is a large-scale disappearance case whose cause cannot be determined, which has recently caused a stir in the world.

“I’m going crazy.”

At that time, Park Jeong-ho, whose head was about to explode, took a sip of coffee with the idea of getting some help from caffeine.

Tiring-

A message alarm from a subordinate was displayed on the computer.

“oh!”

Park Jeong-ho’s face, which had been devastated by the pouring worry, turned bright red.

just as expected.

News that, with the exception of the survival type, which is structurally impossible to clear in a short period of time, thanks to Daesung’s activities, they succeeded in closing all existing gates in Seongnam City.

It was enough of a story to become a ray of rain in Park Jeong-ho’s heart, which felt like a dry drought.

“I really can’t believe it. Even though most of them were level 4 or 5, they could close more than 10 gates in less than an hour…”

Chief Secretary Lee Ha-won also inadvertently took a breath and was amazed.

In any case, we should be happy to hear that at least a few more gates have disappeared.

More than anything.

“…okay. “How is it that even one more hunter like this was born in Korea?”

This incident was an opportunity to once again confirm the capabilities of the hunter named Han Dae-seong and the summons he led, so that alone was quite meaningful.

“Daesung is also a very unique person. Other S-class people rarely pay attention to low-grade gates…”

“That’s right.”

The moment I thought I should at least say thank you to Park Jung-ho for his hard work.

-Beep.

A bell rang from his suit pocket.

The sound came from a personal cell phone, not a work phone.

And the only people who can call the president of the association on his personal cell phone are his family…

“The call is from Mr. Han Dae-seong.”

There were only S-class hunters like Daesung.

Park Jeong-ho, who thought it was a good thing, received Daesung’s call without hesitation.

“Yes, hunter. “What happened-”

And it didn’t take long for Park Jeong-ho, who answered the phone with a bright face, to have a dark look on his face.

Park Jeong-ho stuttered after hearing the shocking news from Daesung.

“Is that really true?”

***

About three hours have passed since then.

Near the abandoned factory in Eungam-dong where a level 5 gate occurred.

There, the KHA hunting teams, most of whom were Class A or B, were gathered there with nervous faces.

In addition, the association’s employees and soldiers were busy setting up high barricades around the abandoned factory.

“Are you sure you are controlling civilians?”

“yes.”

“Keep in mind. “No one should be allowed within a 10km radius.”

A thorough movement, as if they were trying to carry out a secret experiment.

Or perhaps the expression ‘secret experiment’ is not so wrong.

“How can something like this happen?”

Park Jeong-ho, who rarely appears on site, had no choice but to attend in person at this moment.

Because I wanted to see it with my own eyes.

-I found an object that can forcibly cause a fracture.-

The existence of something called a ‘breaker’, which Daesung himself just told me about.

“…Is that possible?”

An object that can forcibly cause a fracture.

Isn’t this a truly disastrous item that could cause great chaos in the world?

“Besides, this…”

Breaker wasn’t the only shocking news I heard from Daesung.

One of the association’s employees was playing a video file on a laptop with a data chip plugged in.

There.

< Clean Ah Ah- !! >

< Instructor! Instructor, please save me! >

It contained the final moments of the < Nether > members dying cruelly.

The video ended with Kang Ki-beom sitting down with his complexion turning pale.

“….”

Gulp.

Park Jeong-ho looked at the gate in front of him with a face that clearly showed emotions of shock and fear.

***

Meanwhile.

Inside the gate that Park Jeong-ho was looking at with such horror was Daesung.

It was none other than him who came in on his own initiative.

– Are you sure you don’t mind? No, you must be tired because you just came back after attacking the Seongnam City Gate… Han Dae-seong, take a good rest and we’d better send a separate exploration party.- -I’ll

go, so don’t let anyone in.-

All of this is the ‘Breaker’ that Dae-seong discovered. A place prepared for everyone to see what it is.

The association chose a level 5 gate as the test site, which would cause as little damage as possible even if a fracture occurred.

And Daesung wanted to see with his own eyes the moment the breaker was activated.

‘Even Breaker can share information with the association. Other than that, I can’t hastily reveal all the cards in my hand.’

For example, stories about the existence of ‘Dimension Takers’ like Sagat or about marriage.

It was obvious that things would get complicated if I kept talking about things like that lightly.

First of all, you will be bombarded with questions about how you came across such information.

There was no reason to create an annoying situation.

‘I can’t let anyone interfere with my work until I first figure out their outlines.’

The association is no exception.

Because it is better to act alone when it comes to annihilating the enemy.

So, in the video recorded by the < Nether > crew’s camera, the latter part where Sagat appears was intentionally cut out.

‘He’s such a versatile guy.’

Of course, it was Seong Chan-ho who edited the video himself.

It was then.

-Jeokjeok.

The breaker planted like a seed somewhere in the field began to show cracks little by little.

And a wave of cracks that looked exactly like the ones that formed on the Breaker’s crystal surface tore through the air in the field.

In this world where things are shattering like glass falling on the floor.

“It’s time for cleaning.”

Grumble-!

The fireworks greatsword that Daeseong had taken out spewed fire violently.

***

“Ugh! “That one!”

And those waiting outside the gate screamed.

Apparently, according to the preliminary investigation, there was still a 5-hour delay before the gate in front of me was fractured.

however.

“After an hour, the gate…”

Park Jeong-ho muttered in disbelief as he looked at the gate, which was emitting a fierce magnetic field as if it were about to explode at any moment.

This proved that the breaker can indeed force a fracture.

“Ready for battle!”

“You can’t let down your guard just because you’re level 5! “They all pour in at once, including the boss monster!”

The hunting teams, who noticed signs of a fracture, began forming a formation in perfect order.

Association staff and soldiers rushed in and tried to evacuate Park Jeong-ho to a safe place, saying it was dangerous to stay here.

Right then.

bang-!

The gate exploded.

Some people who saw the fracture for the first time were overwhelmed and cowered.

KEEEK-!

Kiaaak-!

The monster that appeared through the exploding gate, scattering glass-like fragments, was an orc and a highlord orc, the boss monster and king of the orcs.

“crazy! “It’s a normal type!”

“The numbers are almost legion-like!”

The hunting team immediately began to panic at the countless orc corps that appeared like a swarm of bees pouring out of a beehive.

Even though it is level 5, a fracture is a fracture after all.

The moment when the hunting teams, who foresaw a fierce battle, were on high alert.

“huh?”

“what?”

The hunting team noticed something strange and stopped.

Of course.

Kiik-

Keeek….

This is because the Orcs who were charging aggressively as soon as they appeared stopped charging.

Just for a moment.

-Poof!

The heads of all the Orc legions, including the High Lord Orcs, turned backwards at once.

The eyes of the hunting team and association officials also turned toward the direction the orc was facing.

“This is convenient.”

At the center where the fracture occurred, Daesung stood with a satisfied smile.

[The power < Provocation > is activated.]

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

I have activated the power I just acquired today.

Of course, other people who had no way of knowing that fact did not understand why the orcs reacted that way.

Kieeek-!

Kaaaaak-!

The orcs caught in the < provocation > began to flock to Daesung, their reason being semi-forcibly castrated.

The sight of so many monsters that filled the field of vision rushing towards just one person was terrifying.

Park Jeong-ho, who saw the scene, hurriedly shouted instead of evacuating to a safe place.

“Everyone! Cover Han Dae-seong-”

The moment Park Jeong-ho’s cry, which was almost a scream, came out and the army of orcs came right in front of Dae-seong.

[The first special skill of ‘Incendiary’ mode is activated.]

[Special skill: < Rage >]

Tukwa- Ang!

An explosion that was incomparable to when the gate exploded swept through the area.

At that moment, everyone stopped breathing and looked at the same scene.

The sight of a huge wave of fire rising up, creating an explosion that shook the heavens and the earth.

“Is this a Han Dae-seong hunter…?”

“It’s scary to see in person…”

No one even dared to approach the waves of fire.

The dark shape of the burning Orc army was trembling in the bloody fire that appeared.

After a while.

Daesung,

the person who caused the wave of fire, walked out indifferently as if it was no big deal.

The commander of the hunting team asked Park Jeong-ho despite being rude.

“Who are we covering?”

“….”
