Players Who Returned 10,000 Years Later

Chapter 3. The Nine Thousand Circles of Hell. Return to Earth (Part 3)

What's wrong? — The open passageway definitely leads to Earth.

But his feelings are exactly the same as they were ten thousand years ago on his way to Hell. The situation is not increasing. Kang Yu desperately needed an answer.

— Kia-ya-ya! — The monsters shouted louder and rushed towards Kang Yu, pointing their twisted swords at him.

Kang Yu used his black dagger to fight them. Within moments, the monster's hand fell to the ground.

After successfully defending himself by injuring his opponent, he sat on the ground to inspect his sword. Although almost all of his Man Ma Jung was sealed, he was still the great ruler of the Nine Thousand Circles of Hell. It was easy to deal with such an insignificant opponent, even with just a sword.

"I'll deal with these people first." With the monster shouting wildly and attacking from all sides, he had no time to ponder at the moment.

Kang Yu was more relaxed than before. He saw the monsters. Anger with predatory aggression began to appear within him.

The monster also felt his anger. Their feet begin to disappoint them.

'There were eight people.' If Man Ma Jung is available, he doesn't even need to move. He will bring them down with the help of Strength. But everything is different now.

'How not usually, have to move again.' He pushed his foot off the ground, instantly fending off the monster attack. Then, he cut off their heads.

The experience accumulated over thousands of years in countless wars had helped him turn the monster crowd into a pile of cold corpses.

[Dig! ]

[Level E Goblin was killed. ]

[Experience points are increasing. ]

[Level increased by 3.]

'I level up?' By killing the monster that attacked him, or rather the goblin, the Status Window had reappeared.

Kang Yu confirmed that his level had actually increased by three points. And energy per unit.

And it was not just an increase in numbers, Kang Yu could feel his body becoming stronger.

'It doesn't matter now, level up, increase energy, it doesn't matter at all now. I need to find out what this place is, whether it's Earth or not. At the very least, I need to know if anyone lives here.'

'Oh, it would be much easier with Alec's strength,' he smiled involuntarily as he recalled the Power to Fly. That ability allowed one to defy the law of attraction, but it turned out, it required more power than Kang Yu now possessed.

Right now, he only had enough strength to fly as high as he could jump.

Desperate by how weak he was in his current situation, he was ready to die after the goblins.

'I need to gather more information.' He needed to learn more about this unknown place.

Kang Yu extended his hand to the corpses of the goblins and barely opened his mouth.

— devouring.

Eater Strength.

The unique ability that made him the ruler of the Nine Thousand Circles of Hell had risen. The dark power coming from the young man's hands was completely wrapped around the corpses of the goblins.

— Aaaaaah! Aaaah..— As the creepy sounds disappear, the dark smoke that has absorbed the body's energy disappears.

Gradually, Kang Yu began to get information about the goblins.

The Devourer's power does not allow him to read minds, but it does allow him to absorb information from the body he eats.

He learns about goblin body features, habits, lifestyle, and their weaknesses.

But the information he most wanted to learn was not there. No information about this place.

'Damn.'

Now that the battle was over, Kang Yu let frustration and disappointment rule over him.

'Huh?'

Among the energies he had just absorbed, there was also a very familiar power.

— This is... — That energy is almost invisible, but it is impossible to deceive his instincts.

Kang Yu's eyes shone as he uttered: "Magi."

The body of the goblin contained very little, but there were still a number of Magi.

[Dig! ]

[Level Magi has increased by one unit. ]

As Kang Yu was thinking about the Magi he had just obtained, a notification window appeared. At the same time, he felt a hint of strength enter his body.

- Shit! —Although he now has more power, he swore again.

Magi are the power that Hell beings have. That means if this place was Earth, there shouldn't be any Magi here. The likelihood that this is not Earth is increasing.

'No ...' There was anxiety on his face.

The reason he wanted to be the strongest in Hell was so that one day he could return to Earth.

Here, there was only endless slaughter.

In his mind, in that long period of time, all he did was fight. After all, no one in Hell was interested in anything other than victory over the enemy.

'For me, there is no such thing.'

Even in the battle with the Great Demon, Kang Yu remained uninterested, as he always won. Therefore, he did not feel the satisfaction of his victory.

He was distracted from his mind by a voice:

— Kia-ya-ya!

It was a scream from somewhere far away. The young man's eyes sparkled again.

“It...” This time, it is not the voice of monsters or demons.

He felt it intuitively. It must be a human scream.

And besides that…

"A woman."

Kang Yu's body trembled. Vibration spread throughout his body.

The screams that sounded in his ears seemed to help comfort him.

But now he doesn't care what people think of him.

About ten thousand years.

For ten thousand years, he had never seen any girl, not even in pictures.

In fact, it would be strange if he could maintain his composure.

Kang Yu confidently took one step, then another step, and ran towards the origin of the scream.

Acceleration Strength.

It was the power that the demon Walefar used in his life, before going to Kang Yu.

A black Magi emanated from his body, wrapping around the young man's legs.

Then it started to spread a little, and Kang Yu darted like an arrow.

According to human standards, it was an incredible speed, but to Kang Yu, it was the speed of a snail.

If he could still use Man Ma Jung now, he would arrive at the right place in just a second.

He was frustrated to realize that he could no longer use his strength to the fullest.

— Ki-ee-ee!

— Kee-ee-ya-ya!

The screams became clearer and clearer.

However, they were mixed with the voice of the recent assailant Kang Yu, the goblins.

'As long as she doesn't look like Lilith!' He didn't mind if he turned out to be old or overweight.

The important thing is he has two eyes, one nose and one mouth – that's enough.

'And no tentacles!' Even when she thought of this, recalling Lilith's ugly tentacles, she was still focused on the Magi, now concentrated at her feet.

For the first time in a long time, he felt his breathing become heavy.

It wasn't even a fight to the death, he was just trying to run faster, but it left him gasping for breath.

'I found him.' A desert stretched out from the dense forest that lay before him.

And there were about a dozen goblins surrounding the girl, making her scream in fear.

He was sitting, clutching his bloody leg and clearly being heavily injured.

— Ah... — Kang Yu involuntarily exclaimed.

His body trembled as he watched the objects surround the girl.

Black hair almost reached his waist, an unusual eye piece. Lips are swollen, nose up, and a small spot to the left of his mouth.

She was so beautiful that if Kang Yu ran into her on the streets, she would definitely lower her head in embarrassment.

But now, her beauty was not important at all. Now, her overwhelming beauty seemed to be a very small matter.

"He's human." It must be human.

Two eyes, one nose, one mouth are human features.

He has no purulent tentacles, or bat-like wings. Not a monster covered in bloody skin. Nnnnope. It's an ordinary man.

'Oh, Great.' He can't take it anymore.

Kang Yu was so excited, for the first time in ten thousand years in Hell, he wanted to return to God.

— Gyr-u-uh!

— Ouch…!

The girl looked at the untidy goblin sword running around her, and was horrified.

Seeing the sword pointing towards her, the girl must be waiting. Awaiting death.

At that time:

— Kia-ya-ya?! — the goblins, shocked, screaming.

Kang Yu broke off their circle and began to annihilate the goblins one after another with quick movements as if he was a predator.

— — A...? — The eyes of the girl who fell to the round ground.

He looked at Kang Yu with a look full of disbelief as he had brutally killed a flock of over ten goblins in just a few seconds.

— Kiek! —The last goblin head fell down thanks to a sharp black blade.

Turning the blade in his hand after taking the goblin's life, the young man walked towards the girl sitting on the ground.

- Thank you. – He stood with his injured leg and nodded with gratitude.

Kang Yu was slightly shaken and hugged her to help her stand up steadily.

— Ah... — He held her hand, and it was as if an electric charge was flowing through her body.

If he were in Hell, he would never feel so good.

A human.

Yes, it was a human being, a human he longed for so much, a human he desperately wanted to meet.

The sensation he had now stirred his mind.

All the feelings he had endured for ten thousand years, which were suppressed for so long, spilled out. This feeling flooded all the others, completely taking control of his mind.

— My name is Han Sol. Thank you for saving me. — He looked at Kang Yu, who was hugging him, but he did not try to free himself and just lowered his head once more as a sign of gratitude.

Kang Yu looked at him and made a sincere offer:

- Let's get married.

- What?!

— It would be nice if we have three children.

- What?!
