My Range is One Million - Chapter 273 - The man that came back a corpse – 2
#1
“Hey, are you back?”
As Jaehwang entered the room, Baeklin sat down and raised his hand.
Someone would think that he’s over at his friend’s house, however, Baeklin’s condition was not so good. His arm seemed to have been torn off, but that was not the main issue.
Jaehwang strengthened his gaze. At what Irumi said, he was confused on his way here so even before arriving here, he scoured the body of Baeklin, and he couldn’t believe it even though he checked it with his own eyes.
Baeklin’s body was now dead.
No, the expression of being dead was not appropriate. He couldn’t feel his life energy and he felt like time had stopped.

“What happened?” Jaehwang asked.
“What do you mean, I’m dying,” Baeklin said as if it was not a big deal. “Didn’t I tell you before? My time stopped. It’s so powerful that even as a corpse it still goes on for a bit.”
“Then, is nothing wrong with you?”
“Of course everything is wrong with me. I’m going to die soon, I’m just holding on. The mana that is holding me together can’t stay, so it will slowly collapse from the inside. I hate to feel such a terrible feeling, but… damn… but that’s not important.” Then, from the Infinite Storage, Baeklin placed a palm-sized white square box on the table. Next to it were two USB ports, which had dark stains on them.
“There’s no time, so turn it on.”
Jaehwang nodded silently at Baeklin’s words, he took the tablet out of his Infinite Storage.
“It contains the information I got when I entered it, so you’ll get a rough location if you analyze it.”
When Jaehwang plugged in the ports, a few folders came out, and there were seventy videos and location files for navigation. The funny thing was that he could see some of its hidden files too.
The title was pretty funny. ’18th Yeonggang’
The preview showed him a gathering of 18-year-olds.
“Oh that, my dark history… well, whatever, at death, what does it matter.” Baeklin, who squeezed his finger towards the tablet as if he wanted to delete it, swung his hand back with a nervous expression. Everything looked bothersome.
“I would like to explain, but I don’t know if I will last for even five minutes. You’ll have some trouble, damn it…”
“Why do you look like this?” Jaehwang asked.
“I met the strongest guy in Dark Earth.”
“Ruler?”
“Ruler? The ruler… The ruler is right. Have you ever been through it? Then it’ll be easy to explain. Okay, that’s right. I was caught by him and had to run away. Thanks to you, that aging old man’s two ghosts were destroyed and I am like this. To advise before I die, don’t go to the gate I chose. I don’t know what’s going to happen because I put a little bit of… If you are curious, look through the video. I’m going now, and erase that black history of mine, please.”
With that, Baeklin shook his hand. Then, a wave of black energy arose from his toes and began to erode his body. His face was distorted in pain and he began to age rapidly.
“I feel really dirty. Oh, and when my Infinite Storage is released, there’ll be letters out of it, find it its owner. It will be quite a lot, it’s about a thousand? Hehe…”
In the meantime, the black energy steadily ate Baeklin. Soon after, only his head remained.
“Grr…grrr…I’m sick of this. Say something. I went through shit to find this out”
“…”
Baeklin gagged and murmured, but Jaehwang looked at him with his mouth shut.
“Asshole… Damn, I don’t have anyone to cry for me before I die. Young Mi, Jina, Bridget… I’ll finally come to see you guys…”
His hair ran down like water. He was quite a beautiful man but was now decomposed into a terrible form. The time he was holding onto was now beginning to flow again.
“I’m talking to you honestly, but you… you look like a playboy. The old man said that Goongi is so hot, I envy you, asshole. Have fun and live well. ”
It was a terrible will to say before death.
Even before Jaehwang said anything, the black energy completely wrapped him up. Jaehwang silently watched him.
“Um… um… um… um… uh, why am I not dying.”
Even though the black energy was gone, Baeklin was still rolling his eyes. He looked more vivid than before. Rather, time was being reversed. His dark hair began to bulge and his wrinkled skin was pulled tight.
“Uh, uh… what’s this power? huhh…” Baeklin opened his eyes wide at the overflowing mana that filled up his body. How do you fill a broken vase with water? Simply put it in the water, that’s exactly how he looked right now.
At that moment, something grabbed Baeklin’s hair.
“You shit, what did you just say? Have fun?”
“Uhh, uhhh, who are you?” Baeklin turned pale. They say life was a choice between birth and death, and Baeklin thought, a moment ago that he just made a stupid decision and his opponents right now were monsters beyond his imagination.
*PPOWWWWW*
“KUUUUHHHHHH”
What was this pain he could feel even after he became a corpse? Baeklin shook and looked at the white gem stuck in his chest.
From there, a great amount of energy came out and started surrounding him.
“Uh oh!! OH! This is!?”
“Do you think I’ll kill you that easily?”

“The location is most likely the Antarctic on the Dark Earth side.” Baek Lin was standing by and explaining the video from the screen.
One mana stone was deeply embedded in his chest, leaving only the edges out, and whenever the mana emanated, the ancient words carved into his body shed light. His one arm was still missing, even Goongi couldn’t recover it.
“Where is the dimensional stabilizer?” Jaehwang asked with a little arrogant look.
Baeklin’s eyebrows were squirming, but the monster lurking beside him was too scary.
“The dungeon is about 50 layers deep…”
“Wait, what does it mean to be a dungeon and a layer? And how do you know it’s on the 50th floor? ”
Irumi raised her hand.
Usually, dungeons just meant caves. There were monsters that could dig the ground, and they dig through the underground like ants to create endless caves. In the early days of the great fusion, these beings were quite annoying. Monsters do not make stairs for the convenience of humans. So, humans took a much easier way.
That’s where the exploration drone comes equipped with biological weapons. Depending on the size of the dungeon, only about 100 to 200 pieces at the entrance would blow up all the way. The black drone, which was being studied at Daehyun’s underground secret research institute, was also being developed to raid more than five-tier monsters inside the dungeon.
“It seems to be the work of ancient people, and there was a tombstone standing at the entrance. The letters were not recognizable, but the paintings indicated that it was 50 stories. It’s only 50m, but it’s quite deep. I would have given up on the 3rd floor if I hadn’t had infinite storage.
Irumi nodded in response to Baekrin’s answer.
“Can’t you dig through it vertically?” Jaehwang asked it was silly to move along the floor even if it’s layered.
“A strange magic is at stake. Even if I smash through it, it can recover quickly. But can I continue to expla… ugh.”
Baek Lin, who was trying to say something, turned to the eyes of the red-haired beauty leaning her head on the shoulder of Jaehwang. In fact, there were no possibilities he thought of that could result in his survival, because they spent almost all their energy to escape from there. He could barely live up to the mana that sustained his life, so he could barely move to the gate.
He couldn’t even leave any mana to heal his torn arm and gave up his life when more than 80% of his body’s blood was lost due to massive bleeding from his arm. In order to save himself, he needed a spell master like himself, at least three tier-9 mana stones, and a high-level healer who would support his life until the end of it.
But here she was
This Goongi with a deep grudge on the Thousand Years House, who he could not expect mercy from at this moment.
And it was only Jaehwang with his arms folded in front of him who would control such a thing.
“Hmm, but that’s not important.”
Baeklin opened another video file to change the mood. It showed a huge cave made of rocks. The ceiling and walls were embedded with jewels that seemed to be lighting, and space was endlessly connected. The ceiling was about five meters high.
“You cannot use the body.”
“Yes.” Jaehwang frowned. Of course, at such a height neither Goongi nor even a dragon could transform. Even without transforming, they have a similar combat power to Jaehwang, but they could not be compared to the regular state of their body. Of course, it applies to the enemy, but Baeklin’s words blocked the idea.
“Monsters here are from 8-tier to 9-tier.”
Jaehwang’s eyes widened.
Tier 8 to 9 monsters appeared at a mere 50m deep dungeon. A monster’s power was proportional to its size so that was impossible but soon, the videos started playing. First, they looked human… their shells, shaped like armor, made them look like biped cockroaches.
When his head was shaded by the light of the jewel hanging on the ceiling, the height is about 4 meters, and those are slowly approaching, filling the passage.
“The name is called Iron Wheels. It’s hard as the name says, they’re using their four legs to fight and could attack with enough force to shatter a shield capable of tanking tier-9 monsters.”
“I don’t think they use mana?”
It’s unbelievable that it rips such a shield without using mana.
“Yes, they don’t use mana and they’re strong. They could regenerate so if you can’t kill them on the spot, they’ll get up and chase you like crazy.”
The ones that Baeklin describes were now being shown on the screen in real-time.
Baeklin, in front of the mighty monsters, took out everything he had. He was not just a magician. Now used by Irumi, the warfare ability with the Dragon Blade was that of a nearly eight-star hunter.
The two ghosts he brought out and several other techniques helped with his battle but were being pushed out by pure quantities. Techniques were of no use. Whether it was a defense or fire, they would only strike through and move forward.
“That’s just the third floor?”
“Yeah, I don’t know what’s going on deeper down, but that’s all I’ve got here.”
Everybody closed their lips at the words of Baeklin. Their procession had everyone lost for words.
But Baeklin was not done yet…
“And all that stuff was under the command of the ruler you just named.”
“!!”
