Han Dae Sung Returned From Hell Chapter 9

# 9

009

“I never knew that the final enemy would be myself.”

It was unexpected.

When I raised the difficulty level of the Advent Quest to ‘Hell’…

I thought at least a demon god would be recreated to match the greatly increased difficulty level.

But I never thought that another version of myself would appear.

“….”

The guy looked exactly like him, as if he was facing a mirror.

Even every little scar.

Daesung saw the red name displayed above the guy’s head.

< Absolute One - Han Dae-seong (alter ego) >

Then, I focused my consciousness on that name and blinked my eyes three times.

Immediately afterwards, the other party’s information window was displayed at a short distance.

< Absolute One - Han Dae-seong (alter ego) >

Species: Doppelganger

「This is a doppelganger recreated based on the Absolute One who conquered hell.」

「All elements, including abilities, skills, and psychological states, are perfectly replicated.」

It is not just the appearance that is the same.

According to the explanation in the information window, the case itself matches.

If they had just copied the appearance in the first place, the difficulty level would not have been adjusted to hell.

It may be self-praise, but he is by no means an easy opponent.

However, a fake is ultimately a fake.

“It doesn’t make sense for this side, the real one, to lose.”

Daeseong prepared for battle.

Like the Crying Demon that was just summoned for the first time, the doppelganger does not make a preemptive attack.

“Let’s finish it quickly.”

It felt strange to think that I was defeating an enemy who looked exactly like me.

Of course, that was not a reason for Daesung to hesitate or be at a disadvantage.

Daeseong, who was determined to resolve the situation quickly, activated blood naturalization from the beginning.

Wow –

the air around me became distorted.

Soon, the evil energy condensed in the center of his chest and –

BANG!

A strong explosion rang out, and at the same time, red vapor enveloped him.

“Then-” Just

before Daesung, who had completed his naturalization, was about to take his steps.

phut-!

One more burst of binge drinking.

Daesung tilted his head with a curious look and then raised his eyebrows.

[….]

“Hoo….”

Daesung sighed lightly, as if he was in control.

The doppelgänger Han Dae-seong also used blood demonization in the same way.

Dark red steam rose above the guy’s upper body.

‘Did you just copy me? Otherwise-‘

Another proposition passed through my thoughts.

It is not a problem that can be answered by just thinking about it.

So I decided to find out by experiencing it myself.

Pot-!

Daesung rushed forward in a low-waisted posture.

His foot struck and a large crater was dug where he had gone.

Daesung rushed forward at lightning speed and swung his fist.

The goal is speedy resolution.

So the target is in the middle of the face!

Hung-!

Just before the straight, condensed terrifying magical power explodes into the doppelganger’s face.

[…!]

The doppelganger immediately lowered its posture.

Daesung’s fist, which was stretched out in a straight line, split the meaningless air.

[Kak…!]

At the same time, the doppelganger let out a strange noise in a voice full of noise.

When I lowered my posture, I raised the fist I was already clenching vertically.

bang-!

The doppelganger’s fist hit Daesung’s chin.

“Ugh…!”

Squeak –

A huge impact, as if a 10-ton cargo truck collided with the jaw.

In an instant, Daesung’s vision split into four directions.

After receiving the uppercut, Daesung’s body had to rise vertically and fly to a height of over 100 meters.

Doppelganger Han Dae-seong did not miss that moment.

In order to continue the remaining attacks, the doppelganger Han Dae-seong bent his knees as much as possible.

Pot-!

I jumped toward Daeseong, who was soaring in the air, with the soles of my feet kicking back.

‘Yes, of course this guy is-’

Daesung, who was flying at explosive speed, thought as he risked the pain that was pounding in real time.

‘You’re not just copying me. Beyond that…’

the system said.

Of course, the ability level skills.

Even the psychological state of a person named Han Dae-seong was completely copied.

‘He operates with the same mindset and psychological system as me.’

At the point when the accident developed to that point.

The new form of the doppelganger, which took a big leap from the floor, had already reached Daesung’s location.

‘I thought of the opposite position.’

If the enemy operates with the same mindset, the law of destruction is simple.

‘What kind of attack would I make this time?’

If it were you, the ‘next attack pattern’ you would have continued in this situation.

When Daesung thought of that, his doppelgänger Han Daesung was already taking that action.

‘With a closed fist-’

With a closed fist.

‘Hit the top of your head!’

The moment I was about to hit the top of my head.

fault-!

Daesung grabbed the doppelganger’s wrist and blocked the blow.

[…!]

The doppelganger’s eyes opened wide as the final blow was blocked.

Does he even have feelings?

Yes, the way of thinking has been copied, but is there anything that cannot be said about emotions?

Daesung laughed bitterly.

Then tilt your head back and put a lot of force into your neck.

bang-!

Just like that, he headbutted the doppelganger.

As soon as their foreheads collided, the two stopped ascending with good timing and began descending downward.

Usually, headbutting is a desperate measure that inevitably causes damage to both sides.

There is a world of difference in the pain felt by those who intentionally attack and those who allow the attack at unexpected times.

The doppelganger’s eyes, which had received tremendous physical shock, opened for a moment.

Daesung did not miss that opportunity.

Since the other party has shown a weakness, this time we must deal the final blow.

Spin –

Daesung’s body rotated half a turn in the air.

His head down.

When your knees are pointed upward.

Byak-!

The tip of the knee, which spun like a whirlwind in a flawless motion, struck the top of the doppelganger’s head.

[Caw…!]

Doppelganger Han Dae-seong’s body fell at the speed of a meteor.

bang-!

As soon as it hit the ground, the ground bounced in all directions.

A cloud of dust rose over the area.

Blame it –

Daesung landed in a stable position after receiving one punch.

But before I could regain my balance, my head started spinning and I stumbled.

“…Ugh.”

Apparently, the aftereffects of the uppercut that was initially allowed were significant.

If I didn’t hold on to my sanity, my consciousness would fade.

[Caw…!]

The dust cleared and the doppelganger buried in the ground got up.

Blood trickled out from the guy’s body, which was already covered in wounds.

If you look at the externally visible trauma, the doppelganger’s seemed to be more severe.

However, if the level of damage is expressed in numbers, the two numbers will be the same.

Daesung allowed himself to be struck from below the jaw joint to the tip of the head.

A doppelganger who allowed a single blow from the tip of the head to below the jaw joint.

In terms of score, it is a tie.

Beatle –

Their bodies shook at the same time.

‘If we continue like this, the odds of winning will be 50/50.’

This is a fight with yourself.

If the other person is a doppelganger that duplicates oneself…

their weaknesses are bound to be the same.

I thought I could win if I just targeted that weakness.

However, this means that the theory is also applied to the other party.

Whoever falls first loses.

In the end, the odds of winning are 50-50.

‘It’s a fight that determines whether or not I can spend the rest of my life on Earth, but half of it is too much.’

Daesung wiped away the blood flowing from his crushed teeth.

“What happens if I lose here?”

I asked a question to the system.

[Due to the nature of the Advent Quest, no penalty is added, but no compensation is paid.]

“What if I die?”

[If you die while performing the Advent quest, you will not actually die, but all materialization work currently in progress will be reset.]

“…It’s no different from dying.”

Everything I’ve done so far is in vain.

I hated it more than dying.

‘…I don’t want it to be 100%. ‘There is no way to raise the win rate to 60 or 70% at the very least-‘

Daesung thought and summoned the quest window.

Whenever I run into a problem, meaningful or not, I summon the quest window as a habit.

And there is no guarantee that there will be no clues at all.

Advent Quest-10 (In Progress)

‘Body Restoration.’

Difficulty: Hell

Content: Fight against designated targets and achieve victory.

Time limit: None

Target: Absolute – Han Dae-seong (alter ego) 0/1

Reward: Special nutritional tonic extract for the Absolute Materialization

: Jade body + 80%

—–

As it was adjusted to Hell difficulty, several things have changed.

The goal is from the Crying Demon to the Absolute – Han Dae-seong (alter ego).

The simple nutritional tonic given as a reward is a special nutritional tonic extract. … I don’t know what the difference is.

And crucially, it fills in as much as 80% of the implementation progress.

Even if 45% of the original need was filled in one room, the figure exceeds the limit!

This was closer to true compensation than giving nutritional tonics as compensation.

‘for a moment.’

compensation?

“….”

Everything about Daesung and his doppelganger is identical like a mirror.

But just one thing.

There was only one thing he had that the doppelganger did not have.

‘compensation. Yes, it’s a reward.’

Yes.

I got it while completing the Advent quest.

However, I didn’t use it because I felt it was of little use, so I just hoarded it.

‘Nourishing tonics.’

The number is a whopping 10.

The nourishing tonic was stored in Pantheon’s inventory, which could be used at any time.

As soon as Daesung stretched out his arms, the empty space split open and the inventory was opened.

Daesung took out a bottle of nutritional tonic from there.

[Reward Information]

Name: Nutrient Tonic for the Absolute < 中 >

Category: Consumption

‘This is a nourishing tonic that restores 20% of the stamina and physical strength of the Absolute.’

Daesung was once again surprised when he saw the compensation information.

It restores 20% of your stamina!

Given the situation, I really felt the importance of the number 20%.

Doesn’t that mean you can completely recover by drinking just five bottles?

‘It wasn’t an item to be ignored.’

In the current situation, it was truly an item that was nothing short of a blessing.

Sseok –

Daesung looked up from the nutritional tonic and looked at his doppelganger.

‘That guy probably doesn’t have any recovery items. But I have it.’

The victory was captured.

If the doppelganger had a recovery item, he would have used it a long time ago.

Because the original person is doing that right now.

But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Click-

Daesung opened the lid and took a sip of the nourishing tonic.

As an instantaneous consumption item, the shape recognition effect was activated quickly.

[Quick…!]

The doppelganger’s expression distorted as it realized what Daesung was trying to do.

bang-!

The guy rushed to the ground as if trying to stop him from drinking the tonic.

However, Daesung’s body, having already drank one bottle, is in a state of considerable recovery.

I easily avoided the attacks of the guy who was running towards me in a desperate state.

[Kick…!]

The doppelganger, who made a futile attempt, looked back with evil eyes.

At the point where I caught the back, there was enough opportunity to grab the guy’s head and crush it.

But the reason I didn’t do that was because I had room to spare.

There is no way a fair fight can take place between Daesung, whose health was restored by an item, and his doppelganger, whose health has dropped to less than half.

[Kaaak-!!]

The doppelganger swung both arms wildly and struck Daesung repeatedly.

However, Daesung, whose wounds were healed and his body became lighter, lightly ignored or dodged the attack.

A combo that rages like a storm!

However, unrefined movements filled with anger were bound to have many loopholes.

It was enough to exploit that loophole just once.

Deep!

[Wow…!]

Daesung sharply raised the sword of his right hand and stabbed it into the doppelganger’s uvula.

“That’s strange.”

Pakak-!

He lifted the hand he had stabbed to the side.

Then, he changed his five fingers into a pitchfork shape and

boom!

I stabbed him once more.

This time, not to the uvula, but to the chest, where the heart is.

[…!]

“If it were me, I wouldn’t have done that.”

My heart was pounding –

I felt a pulsation in my palm as it pierced the doppelganger’s right pectoral muscle.

It’s the guy’s heart.

Daesung ripped it off entirely.

Wow-!

The blood that burst from the guy’s chest drew a graceful curve in the air.

[….]

The doppelganger whose heart was pulled out stopped working and fell to the floor.

Daesung said as he glanced at the guy’s squirming heart.

“The reward is so low, I guess I should take this at least.”

At the same time as saying that.

Bam-!

A fanfare rang out announcing the completion of the quest.

[The Absolute One has met the clear conditions!]

[The quest has been completed and the materialization work is making progress!]

[Current materialization rate: Jade body 100%]

[The body in this world returns to its original state.]
