Episode 108: The God of Death Returns (4)
108. The Grim Reaper Returns from the Dead (4)
“How far has it progressed?”
“Most of them were transferred to their home countries. Some of them were difficult to subdue, but we had no choice but to kill them…”
“That’s enough.”
Bandarenko shook his head and cut off his subordinate.
“It won’t be a problem if a few are lost. More importantly… how long does that guy plan on running wild?”
Bandarenko frowned as he looked ahead.
At the end of his gaze was Kang Hyeon, who was running wild alone against numerous union members.
“Kwaaah!”
“What are you doing! He’s just one!”
A magic carpet bombing was launched.
These are the elite of the Union.
Because Bandarenko personally granted him magical powers, he possessed a higher magical power level than ordinary ability users.
They constantly poured out magic based on their overflowing magical power.
-Wow, wow, wow!
The magic pouring down on Kang Hyun caused a dazzling light to burst out and a loud noise to ring out.
“Is he dead..?”
“shut up!”
Looking at the rising dust, someone blurted out a foolish line.
After a while, the dust cleared and Kang-Hyeon appeared, standing alone among them.
“Ha, good job.”
Kang Hyun was holding a corpse that had been turned into a rag in his hands.
Kang Hyun, who had thrown away the corpse he had been using as a shield, moved again.
“Damn it! Unleash your binding magic!”
“It doesn’t work!”
“Warriors. I want you to catch him even if it means throwing your body at him!”
From the perspective of the opponent, Kang Hyun is literally an irregular.
It was a monster beyond the norm.
Even their union leader, Bandarenko, couldn’t make such moves against this number of people.
“It’s the end.”
Everyone was flustered by Kang Hyun’s unexpected performance, but Bandarenko calmly analyzed the situation.
“The bastard’s body is recovering noticeably slower. It seems like his stamina is already depleted.”
As Bandarenko said.
Kang Hyun tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, but now even that had reached its limit.
In a situation where it was difficult to move even a single finger, I was moving with only mental strength.
“Turn it off…”
“Haaak, haa…”
Kang Hyun, who had thrust his sword into another man’s neck, was breathing heavily.
“You monster!”
“Okay. He’s tired now. We can just surround him like this.”
The Union members completely surrounded Kang Hyun.
This is because they also felt that Kang Hyun had reached his limit.
“Huh, hey. Are you listening?”
Kang Hyun muttered quietly.
-…
The longsword of Billgain in his hand.
It was a word addressed to Veil, who was sleeping inside, or rather, pretending to sleep.
“I ask you one last time. Please help me.”
-…
Billgain’s longsword gained even greater power as it was engulfed in a veil.
But that’s it.
Control of the sword completely passed to Veil, and Kang-Hyeon was unable to use any of his previous abilities.
The longsword of Billgain now in Kang Hyun’s hand was simply a strong and sharp sword.
“Whether you help me or not, I’m going to die anyway. But you know.”
Kang Hyun gripped Bill Gain’s longsword tightly.
“Aren’t you angry? You said you were a great knight. You talked about honor and protection. But this is what you ended up with? Are you so proud of yourself when all the innocent kids are being taken away and killed by those little brats?”
While Kang Hyun was talking, Bandarenko slowly approached.
“Give up. If you surrender now, I will spare your life.”
The interpreter’s words conveying Bandarenko’s words rang in Kang-Hyeon’s ears.
‘You sound like a dragon that will save me.’
I had no intention of buying it in the first place.
But Kang Hyun had to buy time.
“Are you really going to let me live?”
The interpreter became excited and explained Kang Hyun’s answer.
“Mr. Kang Hyun. Listen to me carefully. If you surrender now, Mr. Bandarenko here will be given an important position in the Union, and also…”
Kang Hyun continued talking to Veil, listening to the interpreter’s explanation.
“I’m saying this for the last time. Help me.”

-Even if I help you, you’ll die anyway.
Finally, a response came from Veil.
“Didn’t you hear what I said earlier? Even if you die, you will be resurrected.”
-Would I believe such a lie?
“What if it’s true?”
Veil was silent at Kang Hyun’s words.
“If I die like this … I know what to do first!
“Hey, Mr. Kang Hyun…?”
When Kang Hyun, unable to contain his excitement, shouted, the interpreter was flustered.
“I’m thinking about it, so wait!”
Kang Hyun, who had scolded the interpreter, spoke to Veil again.
“Whew, so please help me. If you could help me right now…”
-If you help me?
“Let’s really take care of them together. Let’s come back to life in style, destroy them all, and save the people.”
Veil’s reaction to Kang Hyun’s words was also skeptical.
-Is it possible? The magical power possessed by the leader of those guys is stronger than the magical power I had when I became an undead. If it were to that extent, it would have been famous in a country when I was alive… .
“You talk so much. How did you manage to hold back all this whining?”
-Now is not the time to make such jokes… .
“f*ck. What if it doesn’t work out? I’m just going to hang my head since I’m going to lose anyway? Is that what you call chivalry?”
-…
“If that’s chivalry and honor, then I can see why you’d be locked in a dungeon like that.”
-Watch your mouth.
“If you don’t want to help, get out of here. I can do it on my own without you.”
Kang Hyun, who had slightly loosened his body, slowly walked forward.
“There’s an interpreter.”
“Yes? Yes!”
“Are you Korean?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“But why are you working for such a corrupt criminal?”
“There’s no way around it…”
“Okay. Tell that guy with the biggest nose next to you that I lost.”
“All right!”
The interpreter, his face brightening, started talking excitedly in Russian.
When Bandarenko heard those words, he was smiling triumphantly.
“And tell them that the next round will be in hell.”
“yes..?”
The interpreter made a dumbfounded expression, and Kang Hyun’s whole body was seething with power that seemed ready to explode.
“You were going to help me anyway, so why are you rejecting me?”
Kang Hyun ran towards Bandarenko, who widened his eyes in disbelief, and snickered.
**
Bandarenko looked down at Kang Hyeon arrogantly with his arms crossed.
“What did he say?”
“He said he lost.”
He smiled with satisfaction at the interpreter’s words.
“That’s right. Tell him not to worry, I’ll spare his life. Hehe.”
It wasn’t a lie.
Bandarenko intended to save Kang Hyeon.
‘You can’t just kill someone with that level of magical power.’
Thoroughly. I will squeeze every last drop of your magic out of you. So much so that you can no longer be called a capable person.
After that, I will hand it over to those who study the bodies of those with abilities for a high price.
‘He’s a guy with a world-wide reputation, so he’ll probably get paid a lot.’
It was when Bandarenko was drinking kimchi stew from a bowl.
Kang Hyun said something again.
“yes..?”
The interpreter’s dumbfounded expression continued.
“What did that guy just say…?”
Bandarenko couldn’t finish his speech.
This is because the ship flew at a faster speed than Kang Hyun had ever shown before.
“Ugh!”
Bandarenko hastily poured all his magic power into creating a defensive wall.
Although this would be enough to easily block most attacks, it seemed insufficient against Kang Hyeon.
-Kwaaaaang!
As expected, all the defenses were destroyed by Kang Hyun’s single attack.
“This is the power of humans…”
Bandarenko, who had already fled to the back, used all kinds of magic to blur Kang-Hyeon’s vision.
“Who are you?”
Kang Hyun was holding a hammer with one hand that looked like it weighed several tons at first glance.
Bandarenko swallowed without realizing it at the sight that seemed to defy the laws of physics.
“What are you talking about, you punk? Speak Korean!”
Seeing Kang Hyeon running back, Bandarenko quickly grasped the situation.
‘A one-shot skill. It is a power that can only be achieved if it is not a skill that requires self-sacrifice.’
He sensed Kang-Hyeon’s weakness and shouted urgently.
“Don’t fight and waste time! Focus on holding on!”
That was when.
Before he knew it, Kang Hyun, who had surpassed the people with abilities around him, was right in front of him.
‘Too fast!’
It was an incredibly fast speed for something that weighed that much.
A terrified Bandarenko unleashed his magic power once again.
‘I can endure this much!’
A fleeting moment.
Bandarenko used four types of shield magic in multiple layers and six spells to strengthen his body,
-Kwaaang!
“Cough!”
It was no use.
Bandarenko’s bones, struck by the hammer, broke like tree branches.
“The leader of the union is in danger!”
“Everyone move!”
The impact was so strong that Bandarenko was blown over 100 meters away.
That situation saved Bandarenko’s life.
While Kang Hyun was surrounded by the union members again, Bandarenko quickly deployed his recovery magic.
“Ugh, ugh! That monster!”
It was a power that was impossible to understand with Bandarenko’s common sense.
Great power has a corresponding backlash.
In order to get rid of it, you had no choice but to raise all abilities and stats evenly, and make the stats completely your own through hard work.
However, Bandarenko only stabilized one magic power.
Because the body could not handle the high magical power.
“But what does that guy say…”
But now, at a glance, Kang Hyun’s strength, agility, and stamina were all at an overwhelming level.
“Are you saying that the body can withstand that?”
No. The mind collapses regardless of whether the body can endure or not.
The pain will be so intense that it will feel like child’s play to be burned or to have a blade cut through your body.
There is no way a human could endure that level of pain.
“Ugh… Ugh. Run away…”
“That’s not human. There’s nothing we can do about it…”
In Bandarenko’s eyes, Kang Hyeon was completely outside the realm of humanity.
Now, it seems like he doesn’t even think about avoiding the magic directed at him.
A literal berserker.
He was a fighting man.
Kang Hyun only focused on killing the enemy.
Those who could be considered the elite of the alliance were annihilated in less than 5 minutes.
No, it was oxidized into a handful of blood.
“…”
I looked around at my surviving subordinates, but there wasn’t a single one who was unharmed.
Bandarenko’s fists were clenched in tension and trembled.
‘Even if my body was fine, it would have been useless anyway.’
Everyone was terrified.
And it was no different for Bandarenko.
‘Isn’t he human…?’
In his eyes, Kang Hyeon was a grim reaper who had returned from the dead.
“Keuk, keuhuk…”
Finally, after five minutes, Kang-Hyeon, who had lost all his strength, could no longer run.
Kang Hyun was walking like a person who was about to die.
The giant hammer and the brilliantly shining red longsword were both gone.
“Kuuuu…”
But the eyes were still burning.
Bandarenko, who met Kang Hyun’s eyes, was nothing more than a herbivore in front of a wild beast.
“…”
A moment of silence.
All that could be heard was the sound of the ground being swept by Kang-Hyeon’s feeble footsteps.
Finally, Kang Hyun came up close to his nose, and Bandarenko swallowed hard.
“Gi, gi… la. Da… is coming…”
The Korean voice was very faint. Kang Hyun fell to the floor after saying only those words.
“Ugh, ugh…”
Only then did Bandarenko take a deep breath and carefully examine Kang Hyeon.
“Dead.”
My heart completely stopped.
As soon as he confirmed it, Bandarenko collapsed.
