Solo Resurrection Chapter 24

Episode 24: Crisis of Death (2)

24. Crisis of Death (2)

Since that day.

Kang Hyun went through the dungeon alone.

It was quite difficult at first, but I soon became more relaxed as I only went around the entrance of the dungeon without going all the way to the core.

“It’s 1.67 million won.”

“Yes. Thank you for your hard work.”

And today.

For the first time, I planned a 2 night 3 day trip instead of a day trip and safely escaped the dungeon.

Thanks to that, I was able to earn about four times the amount of money I would have earned by doing day trips.

Kang Hyun, who earned more money than expected, smiled with satisfaction.

“If we continue like this, we’ll soon reach two thousand or three thousand.”

Considering that I had been working as an intern for over a year and had not even earned 2 million won a month, it was truly a huge step forward.

“By the way, the problem is that my level isn’t going up.”

It had already been a month since Kang Hyun graduated from the tutorial. However, Kang Hyun’s level had only increased by 3, remaining at 31. Furthermore, his skill level had not increased at all.

“Well, as long as I make a lot of money, that’s fine.”

The thought of what the Earth would be like in five years didn’t really motivate Kang Hyun.

As the manager said, billions of people have become capable and are working to become stronger.

I don’t think the fate of the Earth will change just because one person is a little sloppy.

“And I am strong enough.”

Even when I looked around, I couldn’t find anyone stronger than me, or even someone of similar level.

It will probably take a long time for them to reach their level.

“It’s not like I’m going to keep playing around. I’ve been working so hard for over three months, so it’s okay to slow down for a bit, right?”

Kang Hyun nodded, completely rationalizing it.

“Are you getting a lot of missed calls?”

While in the dungeon, all electronic devices become unresponsive.

So when I turned my smartphone back on, I found that I had over a hundred missed calls.

“What’s going on?”

Most of them were calls from my younger sister, Kang Ah-hyun.

“hello?”

-Where are you?!

“I just got out of the dungeon.”

-Come quickly! There’s chaos right now!

“What’s going on?”

-A dungeon has opened where Mom and Dad are!

**

– … I deeply regret the large-scale dungeon wave incident that occurred in Hangrae-gun. This incident started the other evening when a D-grade incomplete dungeon suddenly appeared…

Kang Hyun stood there blankly, listening to what the news anchor was saying.

“So what’s the point..?”

“The entire port is now closed, and we plan to gradually move in and clear out the monsters.”

Incidents of not being able to clear dungeons on time happen quite frequently. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it happens almost every day.

However, this was the first time that a dungeon was opened on such a large scale, completely closing down the city.

“At first, we worked together on the rescue operation…”

“Did you do it?”

“The damage from the monsters is so severe that no one is going in right now.”

“Mom and Dad are still in there?”

“huh…”

At Ah-hyeon’s words, Kang-hyeon started packing again without even washing up.

“What are you doing? What are you going to do?”

“I have to go in. I’ll go and save him.”

Since I had just come out of the dungeon, I was sufficiently prepared by just restocking food.

“Then take me too.”

“Don’t be stubborn. You know you’re just a burden. And even if I die, I’ll come back to life, but that’s the end for you.”

“Then what do you want me to do? Just stay here and watch?!”

Ahyeon stamped her feet and shouted. Kanghyun let out a small sigh as he watched her.

“Oh. Just watch. Don’t bother me. I’ll go.”

Kang Hyun packed his bags, left the house, and got into the car. It hadn’t even been 5 minutes since he got home.

-dripping

Kang-Hyeon’s head turned at the sound of knocking on the window.

“why.”

“Can you do it?”

Ah-hyeon asked with a worried expression.

“Isn’t that obvious?”

Kang Hyun forced himself to smile.

“I believe.”

“okay.”

Kang Hyun gave a short answer and immediately started the engine and set off.

Tears welled up in Ah-hyeon’s eyes as she watched Kang-hyeon leave.

**

After running for three hours, Kang Hyeon was able to arrive at the entrance to his hometown, Hangnae County.

“You cannot enter from here on out.”

Soldiers blocking the road at the city border blocked Kang Hyeon.

“He is a capable person.”

Kang Hyun handed over his ability registration certificate.

“Hey. Did you get any instructions on what to do with the capable person?”

“Let’s try to stop it for a while, and if that doesn’t work, just let it pass.”

“What kind of instructions are those? Oh my.”

“It seems like they’re just telling me to let it pass.”

“I know, Inma.”

The man wearing the rank of lieutenant shook his head and called out to Kang-Hyeon.

“Do you really have to come in?”

“yes.”

“Okay. Hey! Put up the barricade.”

It’s about 30km from here to home.

Since there was still a long way to go, Kang-Hyeon decided to take the car to go deeper.

-Squeak

But not long after crossing the barrier, Kang Hyun stepped on the brakes.

Because a giant monster I had never seen before was blocking the road.

“Wild boar… is that it..?”

[Boiler]

Even the largest wild boar in the world was never taller than a person.

However, at a glance, the creature that resembled a wild boar in front of me appeared to be about 2 meters tall.

To put it simply, it was much bigger than the car Kang Hyun was riding in.

“Puruk! Puruk.”

The protruding molars were so large that they looked like they belonged to an elephant.

The guy started to nag about what he didn’t like.

-Damn it! Damn it!

“Oh, I got it.”

The ground shook every time he ran.

Kang Hyun quickly opened the door and jumped out of the car.

-bang!

The car he had crashed into flew about ten meters and crashed into the road.

“This little pig! How dare you touch my buntley..!”

An angry Kang Hyun took out Bill Gain’s longsword.

“Even if you wear armor, the moment it hits you, it’s over.”

Kang Hyun is wearing the Ronald’s Armor (B) set that he received after completing step 7 of the tutorial.

It was a sturdy armor, as befitting a high-grade suit, but it didn’t seem like it would be able to protect one from attacks that could even blow up a car.

“Come at me!”

[The Lion of Wrath is activated]

[The subject resists]

[All enemies’ abilities have been slightly reduced]

Even though he used his skill, he didn’t look intimidated at all.

“Phrrrr!”

The guy who had been slacking off once again started running.

-dadadada

‘Evade and take advantage of the bastard’s charging power.’

A boy running at incredible speed.

Kang Hyun watched the guy until the end.

‘now!’

The moment the bastard finally got close to my nose, I rolled to the side.

“One stroke of a sword, two cuts!”

Skills used simultaneously.

-Push push!

“Eww!”

Even though I used ‘Giant’s Strength’ and ‘One Sword and Two Blades’ together, it felt like my grip was going to tear as I cut through the bastard’s hide.

-Pfft!

Finally, the blade sliced ​​through the bastard’s side and came out.

Crimson blood splattered everywhere.

“Puraaaaak!”

“f*ck, it’s shallow!”

The bastard’s hide was much thicker than he had expected. Kang-Hyeon realized this by the feeling of the sword catching on him and quickly stepped back.

-Bang!

Something huge fell where Kang Hyun had been, shattering the asphalt.

Boiler lifted his front paw, which was as big as a human face, and slammed it on the ground.

“That’s over the moment you get hit. Avoid it at all costs.”

The bastard’s physical limitations limit his attack methods. If you just respond calmly, you should be able to dodge all of his attacks.

-Push, squeak!

“Puraak!”

Kang Hyun continued to swing his sword around the bastard. Gradually, small wounds began to appear on the bastard’s body.

‘Just a little more!’

That was the moment when I thought I had almost done away with the bastard.

A familiar voice was heard from somewhere.

“Kreuk, keruk.”

“Keraraout!”

“This is no way…”

I looked towards where the sound came from and saw dozens of goblins running towards me.

[Goblin Charge]

[Goblin Charge Captain]

As their unique name suggests, the momentum of those running on the road was tremendous.

“That’s a goblin?”

Kang Hyun thought he knew quite a bit about goblins.

However, the goblin that was running towards him now was completely different from the goblin that Kang-Hyeon knew.

He is well-equipped with armor and his weapons are sharply polished.

And these muscular guys were running like crazy.

-Peshuk!

At the same time, an arrow passed by Kang Hyun.

[Goblin Archer]

“What kind of army is this?!”

Behind the running men, about twenty goblins holding bows were visible.

“Oh, shit!”

They are different from the goblins we’ve seen so far.

Kang Hyun, who couldn’t waste any more time here, quickly went back to the car, grabbed his backpack, and ran.

“Puraaaa!”

From behind, Boyder’s shouting could be heard. 

“Keeruk!”

Looking back, dozens of goblins were surrounding Boilder and stabbing him with their swords.

Boilder, with swords and arrows stuck all over his body, looked like a hedgehog.

“Keeeek!”

Every time the goblin was hit by the bolder, he was covered in blood and flew through the air.

But the bastards were not at all afraid and pressed Boyder.

-Kooong

Eventually, Boyder, who was exhausted from fighting with Kang Hyun, could not endure it and collapsed.

“Keep going!”

After confirming that Boilder had fallen, the goblins immediately changed their target to Kang Hyeon.

-Peesh, peesh

-Ting!

Sharp arrows slid past Kang-Hyeon. The arrows that occasionally hit his body bounced off his sturdy armor.

“Just get out of here!”

His goal is to save his parents.

There was no time to mess around with goblins here.

Kang Hyun ran towards the mountain with all his might without looking back.

After running for about 30 minutes, the guys seemed to have given up and there was no sign of them chasing us anymore.

“Ugh, ugh…”

Kang Hyun finally caught his breath and sat down.

“What about goblins, even if they’re like boars?”

The goblins you caught in the first tutorial were militiamen. This time, there were assault soldiers and archers. There was even a assault captain.

At this rate, it wouldn’t be strange if goblin guards or goblin emperors appeared later.

“Ugh…”

Just thinking about hundreds or thousands of well-armed and trained goblins rushing at him sent shivers down Kang-Hyeon’s spine.

**

Kang Hyun-i turned on his smartphone and checked his current location with GPS.

“It’s still a long way to go.”

The remaining distance is approximately 20km.

If it were flat ground, we could get there in no time, but since we were moving along a mountain path, I didn’t know how much longer it would take.

In addition, you had to watch out for monsters that could appear anywhere and at any time.

“What is that?”

It was when I was walking down the street.

Kang Hyun discovered that there was a dungeon far away.

“There’s a dungeon here too….”

Kang Hyun, who was talking, quickly fell to the floor.

‘What?! Why is the door open?’

If the dungeon door had been opened, monsters would have definitely come out. However, I haven’t encountered a single living monster on my way here.

‘I’ve seen a few of them that are already dead…’

The door to the open dungeon.

Dead bodies torn to pieces, regardless of type.

Kang Hyun felt something ominous.

“The power of the giant.”

Kang Hyun used his skills and started running at full speed.

“Kwaa!”

“cadet!”

“I knew it!”

At the same time, dozens of enemies appeared from all directions.

[Disrufin]

Above their heads was a name I had never seen before.

“Get out of the way!”

“Wake up!”

Kang Hyun jumped up and punched the guy who was rushing at him. The guy who was hit in the head flew several meters and crashed into a tree.

‘There are too many numbers!’

Those who looked like wolves were so numerous that it was impossible to estimate their number.

‘Where have those huge guys been hiding all this time?’

Kang Hyun’s doubts were quickly resolved.

“Whoa!”

Right in front of Kang Hyun, an enemy suddenly appears out of thin air, baring its teeth.

-bang!

Kang Hyun, with his head tilted back, hit the guy who was rushing at him with his helmet.

“What kind of camouflage is this on a monster topic?”

They blended in with their surroundings like chameleons.

“Let’s jump right in!”

Kang Hyun decided to run away first.

There was a steep slope ahead, but Kang-Hyeon ran without hesitation.

-Password

As I pushed through the bushes, branches broke and sharp thorns cut my exposed skin.

“Ugh..!”

The armor that Kang Hyun is currently wearing weighs over 10kg.

In addition, he was carrying a backpack weighing about 20 kg on his back.

Running up the steep slope with a heavy load on my back, I felt like I would collapse at any moment.

“Ugh!”

In the end, Kang-Hyeon tripped on the rock and fell down miserably.

-Thud, thud! Boom!

Kang-Hyeon, who had been rolling around for a while, was finally able to stop after hitting a huge tree stump.

“Ugh…”

I cried out involuntarily as the shock shook my whole body.

‘If there had been no armor, it would have broken somewhere.’

I felt as if my whole body was going to break apart, but thankfully, no bones seemed to have actually been broken.

“Whoa… This won’t do.”

Kang Hyun got up from his seat and dusted himself off.

I could already see the guys who had been chasing me sliding down the mountainside.

“Aww!”

Hearing the guys howling, Kang-Hyeon tied his bag to a tree to keep it from being swept away.

“If I had known this would happen, I would have just fought from the beginning.”

Come to think of it, the very idea of ​​running away from a four-legged beast in the mountains was absurd.

“Are they all here?”

The Disrupins finally gathered and surrounded Kang Hyun.

“Krrrr…”

“What are you looking at?”

“Krrrrr!”

[The Lion of Wrath is activated]

Maybe Kang Hyun thought that he might face death outside of the tutorial for the first time.
