Solo Resurrection Chapter 160

Episode 160: Human Disqualification (5)

160. Human Disqualification (5)

Olivia, wrapped in a blanket, shivered like an aspen tree.

Kang Hyun sighed as he looked at the sight.

“are you okay?”

“Yes… it’s okay.”

Olien forced a smile.

“You should have told me in advance. Then I would have adjusted my schedule.”

“No. I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble…”

Kang Hyun felt frustrated.

How can you worry about others even when you’re about to die?

It was a sight that was difficult to understand with Kang Hyun’s common sense.

“ha…”

When I turned my gaze, I saw Garnet, who was looking like she was about to die.

“It’s a total mess.”

The atmosphere of the portrait studio would be better than this.

Kang Hyun sighed and took a sip of his beer.

“Hehe, talk slowly. I’ll listen to everything. You might feel a little better after you open up.”

“…”

“If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to.”

Olien shook his head at Kang Hyun’s words.

“Ah… I don’t know where to start…”

“Just say whatever comes to mind.”

After thinking for a moment, Olivia seemed to have made up her mind and slowly began to tell her story.

“I was born… from the body of a lowly maid. The royal family always looked down on me because of that. Isn’t that a common story? Haha…”

“Don’t worry about it, just tell me.”

For a while after that, the story of Olien continued.

Once I opened my mouth, the stories poured out like a dam had burst.

For a while, Olien continued to ramble on as if he had lost his mind.

“The royal family members aren’t all that bad… They’re all very capable and do their duty as royals…”

Then, gradually, Olien, who had been talking nonsense, began to cry.

“I will stick to my duty… so I will work harder too…”

“Okay. You can stop now.”

“Sob, I’m sorry…”

“What do you have to be sorry about?”

Kang Hyun roughly swept his hair back.

‘Whew… That Karl or whatever. I really need to kill him.’

He crossed the line.

Kang Hyun had no intention of letting go of the guy who was ignorant and set up things just because he was born precious.

‘Such a kind child…’

Kang Hyun got angry and distorted the beer can.

“Mr. Kang Hyun, you don’t have to worry about it. This is my job… and I shouldn’t let it get any worse, even for the sake of the future.”

“What does that mean?”

Olien lowered his head to Kang Hyun’s question.

“I will return to the palace someday… So I will just quietly pass by like this…”

“Do I have to go back?”

“yes?”

Olivia opened her eyes wide as if wondering what he was talking about.

“Do I have to go back to where I used to live? Can’t I just live here?”

“that…”

**

Three men sat facing each other around a round table.

“How come he’s still alive?”

Karl Heyser frowned at Kang Hyun.

“Mr. Karl, please be patient. We are here to solve a problem. Unnecessary words and actions will not help solve the problem.”

Karl snorted at Shin Tae-gil’s words.

“Ha! Unnecessary words and actions? That lowly bastard over there dared to insult me, a member of the royal family! Even if this is a different world, I have no intention of ignoring this matter. Kill him immediately.”

“You’re being a jerk.”

“what!?”

At Kang Hyun’s words, Karl suddenly stood up.

“You want me to talk to this guy!? How absurd. Yes! Sir Beltio! Cut off his head right now!”

“Please, I beg you… everyone calm down.”

Shin Tae-gil tried to mediate, but it was no use.

“Right. Calm down. You don’t want to collapse from high blood pressure before you get behind me, right?”

Kang Hyun added fuel to the fire.

“I’m going to die? To a guy like you? Are you capable of taking responsibility for those words?”

“You’ll understand once you experience it.”

“You lowly wretch. Be thankful I didn’t have an accident. Otherwise, this country would have been in flames.”

Shin Tae-gil frowned at Karl’s words.

“What do you mean?”

“I told you to send the army if I don’t return home within ten days. So you’d better not do anything foolish.”

Karl said proudly.

“Oh my, it’s scary! How can a human be so mean?”

Kang Hyun clasped both hands and shook them, making a fuss.

“Hey! What did you just say?”

“Why are you acting so mean, you little punk? What, you disrespecting royalty? You’re really shitting yourself. You’re just a perverted psychopath.”

“Mr. Kang Hyun!”

Shin Tae-gil tried to stop him, but he couldn’t take back the words that had already been said.

“What you just said… Apologize. Otherwise, you’ll get a big nosebleed.”

“Apples? You want to break your head with an apple? Where the hell are you talking about?”

“You… You dare!”

Karl, his face reddening, slammed the table.

-bang!

Karl glared at Kang-Hyeon with a grin.

“I challenge you to a duel.”

“A duel? Does that weakling have the strength to wield a sword?”

Kang Hyun laughed at Karl’s thin arms.

“Sir Beltio!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“There’s a monkey jumping around like crazy, not knowing how high the sky is. Can you handle it?”

“Just leave it to me.”

Kang Hyun frowned at their conversation.

“What? You said it was a duel?”

“Yes. It’s a duel. I will send Lord Beltio as the Grand Champion. You may send another warrior if you wish.”

“Ha, what a ridiculous guy.”

Kang Hyun could not have imagined that a duel would be a proxy fight.

“Okay. Whoever you send, do whatever you want. But what are you going to do if you lose?”

“Of course it’s death.”

“You sent someone else.”

“I know that’s unlikely, but if I lose, I’ll lose my precious warrior and my honor. What else do I need?”

Karl asked with a face that said, “Don’t you know this?”

“What kind of shameless kid is this? I’m so frustrated I could get cancer. Ha…”

“This cheapskate will do anything!”

Unable to stand by any longer, Knight Beltio took out his sword.

“I will not tolerate any more insults to my lord.”

“Huh… Okay. Let’s say that’s true. But I can’t accept this.”

“You trampled on my honor. And now you’re running away!”

A very excited Karl shouted.

“No. We won’t duel. Instead, you bet something else.”

“What?”

“I’ll risk my life. You have to risk something worth it.”

Kang Hyun smiled faintly.

Shin Tae-gil shook his head at the sight.

‘I don’t think it’s right for Kang Hyun, who will come back to life even after dying, to say that…’

Shin Tae-gil thought that Kang Hyeon might have some kind of ulterior motive and decided to just watch for the time being.

“Huh. Tell me what you want.”

Kang-Hyeon stroked his chin at Karl’s words.

“Let’s see… First, apologize to Olien. And promise not to touch Olien again.”

Karl, who had been pondering Kang Hyun’s words, nodded.

“It’s not that difficult. I promise on my honor.”

“Second, keep all the promises you made to Team Leader Shin Tae-gil.”

Over the past few days, Karl and Shin Tae-gil have been talking a lot.

It was about what the two countries would exchange in the future, but Kang Hyun was worried that it would fall through because of him.

“It’s not that difficult. After all, there are issues that can arise in the home country as well, so we have to coordinate them. Is this all you want?”

Kang-Hyeon chuckled at Karl’s words.

“No. One last thing. There’s still the most important thing left.”

“What is that?”

The faces of everyone sitting there hardened as Kang Hyun continued his explanation.

“Your Majesty! This is not possible. How can I trust someone like this…?”

An excited Beltio stood up from his seat and shouted.

Karl raised his hand and calmed Beltio down.

“Sir Beltio. It’s okay. You won’t lose anyway, right?”

“Even so, there is such a thing as ‘what if’.”

As the two talked seriously, Kang Hyun shook his head.

“Who would eat it? They said they would return it intact and unscathed.”

“Shut up! How can you believe the words of a man who knows no honor and promise the safety of the prince?!”

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll accept the offer.”

“Prince!”

Karl put his hand on Beltio’s shoulder.

“Sir Beltio. I trust you. If that lowly man is willing to risk his life, shouldn’t I risk something similar?”

“Even so…”

“I’ve already decided. I won’t listen to any objections.”

Kang Hyun blew a whistle.

“Oh, there’s something unexpectedly hot about it. I’m starting to like it a little bit.”

“Don’t get me wrong. I will not lose a duel anyway, so I accept.”

“We’ll just have to wait and see.”

Karl sat down again and glared at Kang-Hyeon.

“What date would be best for you? Pick any day you want. Since you’re going to die anyway, I guess I can give you this much.”

Kang Hyun nodded at Beltio’s words.

“Is there anything you want to wait for? Let’s get started.”

**

F-rank dungeon located nearby.

Dozens of men stood in a secluded dungeon, holding guns.

It was none other than Shin Tae-gil and the government’s powerful people.

“Phew…”

In front of them, Kang Hyun stretched his body and caught his breath.

-Your chances of winning are slim.

Kang Hyun frowned at Veil’s words.

“Don’t give up from the start.”

-I’m saying this because I’m worried about you. This isn’t your average knight. This is on a whole other level than the idiots I’ve fought so far.

“So what? Should I bow my head and pretend it never happened, saying, ‘I was wrong.’”

-I’m telling you to take the fight seriously.

“Even if you tell me not to, I’m going to do it. Inma.”

Contrary to his light-hearted remark, Kang Hyun was very nervous.

‘I know full well that he’s strong.’

Kang Hyun, who fought directly, knew better than anyone.

The knight Beltio standing before him is a formidable opponent.

Offense and defense. Everything was perfect to the point of being perfect.

-Never expect luck from a true knight.

Veil was right.

He is an opponent with no weaknesses.

It was an enemy that I had to compete against with only my true skills.

“You’re nagging me so much. I’ll take care of it, so don’t bother me.”

Kang Hyun took a stance with his eyes shining.

“Are you ready?”

Kang Hyun nodded at Beltio’s words.

“Okay. Let’s get started right away.”

“It would be better to give up the thought of living.”

“Do you fight with your mouth?”

At Kang Hyun’s provocation, a vein appeared on Beltio’s forehead.

“Go.”

With a single word, Beltio ran forward as if he was being shot.

‘Ugh!’

Kang Hyun took a deep breath and twisted his waist with all his might.

-Shoot!

The magical power that Beltio unleashed as he swung his sword passed by Kang-Hyeon’s ears.

-Kwaang! Thump, boom…

There was a loud noise as all the trees and rocks behind Kang-Hyeon were cut down.

‘It’s not an attack that can be physically withstood.’

With that level of power, even the strongest man would be split in two.

Beltio, who had approached closely, began swinging his sword in earnest.

Kang Hyun also calmly blocked Beltio’s attack.

The two swords wrapped in magic clashed nonstop, creating a spectacular scene as if they were fighting with light sabers.

-If we continue like this, we’ll lose. Let’s try a different strategy!

At first glance, it seemed like a close match, but in reality, Kang Hyun was being pushed back by an overwhelming margin.

You could tell just by looking at Kang Hyun’s whole body that in less than a minute, he was drenched in sweat.

“Put the pressure down!”

Kang Hyun stretched out his hand with a shout.

I intended to grab the enemy’s arm, but Beltio did not give up his body easily.

“Do you think we’ll get hit by the same amount?”

Beltio gracefully dodged, and at the same time swung his sword to cut off Kang-Hyeon’s outstretched arm. 

“Magic explosion!”

Kang Hyun had no choice but to use the explosion to retreat.

‘I guess we shouldn’t take out Philsian’s hammer?’

Veil snorted at Kang Hyun’s question.

-You idiot. The moment you pick up that stupidly big hammer, your whole body will be mangled.

‘I asked just in case. What a brat you are talking about!’

While he was thinking, Kang-Hyeon hurriedly swung his sword at the flying magic.

-Chae-Ang!

The magical power that was repelled by Kang Hyun spread out, completely destroying the surrounding terrain.

Kang Hyun smiled bitterly, rubbing his numb wrist.

‘This is something that can neither be widened nor narrowed.’

It was a power on a whole other level than simply swinging a blade with magic.

A strong person of that level would be able to slaughter even skeletons flying in the air in one breath.

-That’s how a true inspector uses his magic power.

‘Is now the time to be amazed!’

Even as he spoke, Kang Hyun moved around absentmindedly.

The sword swept again, cutting a long line across Kang-Hyeon’s skin.

-Focus on the battle!

Kang Hyun didn’t answer and just glared at Beltio.

‘I have to make the most of the strengths I have. I give up my bones and take flesh.’
