Solo Resurrection Chapter 25

Episode 25: The Arrogance of the Weak (1) 20.01.29

25. The Pride of the Weak (1)

“Ugh, ugh!”

Kang Hyun let out a rough breath.

Dozens of Disrupin’s corpses were strewn around.

‘It’s still bearable.’

Attacks came from all sides, but the armor was more than worthy of its B-grade status.

Although it was broken and distorted here and there, it still maintained its shape and firmly protected Kang-Hyeon.

“Come in again!”

There were still more enemies left than Kang Hyun had defeated.

However, the bastards could not rush in recklessly and circled around Kang Hyeon.

“Krrrr…”

Kang Hyun stabbed the guy who was growling nearby with his sword.

-Pagagak!

The black sword entered the bastard’s mouth in an instant and pierced the handle.

“Crunch, crunch…”

The man who was pierced by the sword like a skewer trembled and then collapsed, spitting out blood.

“Aww!”

“Boom! Boom!”

That was the last one.

Those who had been watching their comrades die eventually gave up and turned away with Howling.

“Whoa…”

Kang Hyun sat down on the seat with a thud and took out water from his backpack.

“Phuhuh!”

I poured water on my head and rubbed my skin.

As the sticky blood stains all over my body began to disappear, I felt a little bit more alive.

“The sun is already setting.”

The sun was setting beyond the mountain ridge.

Kang Hyun checked the time.

[18:03]

“I delayed too long.”

A time-critical situation.

Kang Hyun decided to hurry a little more.

Because if I continued to stay in this place, it might become more dangerous.

“If we stay here any longer, other guys might come.”

At the end of the fight, hungry men might flock to the corpses left behind.

“Whew… let’s go.”

Kang-Hyeon, who was carrying a backpack, moved his heavy legs.

**

8pm.

The surroundings were so dark that it was difficult to see ahead.

“It won’t work.”

There was a lantern, but the light might attract monsters.

Kang Hyun decided that it was impossible to move any further and stopped.

“Should I climb up a tree to sleep?”

Kang Hyun had never camped alone in a field dungeon before.

Fortunately, in a closed dungeon, I could create an alarm with a simple device and go to sleep alone.

But I didn’t know how to prepare for such an open place.

“I guess I’ll have to rest on a tree.”

Kang Hyun climbed up the largest tree nearby while wearing his armor.

“Huh…”

As I lay down on the tree, I began to groan involuntarily.

This morning.

As soon as I got out of the dungeon, I got in my car and rushed over.

And they continued to climb the mountain and fight until the sun went down.

In addition, he constantly used the ‘giant’s strength’ which put a strain on his body, and his entire body was injured to the point where there was no healthy spot.

“My magic power is running out.”

Kang Hyun instinctively felt that he didn’t have much magic left.

It felt like everything was exhausted trying to heal the wounds.

This was the first time since the tutorial that I had fought a battle this hard.

“I wonder if I got a call…”

When I opened my phone, there were a bunch of messages piled up.

Ah-hyun sent the message because she couldn’t even call Kang-hyun for fear of disturbing him.

-Don’t worry, everything is going well.

Less than 10 seconds after I sent the message, I received a reply.

-Have you arrived home?

-I’m almost there. I’ll be there tomorrow morning.

-Are you okay?

-Of course. Don’t worry and go to sleep. I’ll get some rest too.

I replied to Ahyeon and checked the text message that Kanghyun had sent to his parents.

I haven’t received a reply yet.

I wanted to call right away, but I couldn’t because I was afraid that my phone might make a mistake.

‘Just wait a moment.’

Kang Hyun closed his eyes, trying hard to shake off his anxiety.

**

Sunlight filtered through the leaves and illuminated Kang-Hyeon’s eyelids.

“Ugh…”

Kang Hyun groaned as he felt a tingling sensation all over his body and slowly got up.

[06:11]

It’s still early.

Kang Hyun checked the time and opened his backpack. 

I took out the energy bar that was taking up one side of my backpack and peeled off the plastic.

-Urgh, urgh

Kang-Hyeon felt stronger as the sugar went in and started walking again.

After that, Kang Hyun was able to leave the mountain without encountering any monsters.

After leaving the mountain and walking a little further, the town where the house was located finally came into view.

“Umm…”

Kang Hyun moaned softly as he looked out at the city view.

A horrific sight that brings to mind a battlefield.

Buildings were burning everywhere, and some houses had their exterior walls completely destroyed.

“Keeeek!”

“Kuaaaah!”

All kinds of unidentifiable monsters roamed the city.

Monsters were seen fighting each other in various places.

“It’s fully formed.”

At first glance, they seemed to be scattered indiscriminately, but they had already established their own territory.

“Eww!”

Then a scream was heard from somewhere.

After looking closely at where the sound came from, I was able to find a man.

The man was confronting monsters on the roof of the building.

“Oh, don’t come!”

The man was swinging a baseball bat wildly.

The monsters slowly pressed down on the man as if they were mocking him.

“Eww!”

Eventually, the man, unable to overcome his fear, jumps from the rooftop,

-puck!

The man’s body was devoured by predators gathered from all sides.

“There are still survivors in the building.”

Although she feels sorry for the man, the man’s death gave Kang-Hyeon hope that her parents might be alive.

Kang-Hyeon moved cautiously, hoping that the man was not the last survivor in the city.

**

“Keeeek!”

“I told you to be quiet!”

-Pfft!

Kang Hyun’s kick struck the monster’s snout as it screamed.

“Ouch!”

Kang Hyun fell and swung his sword at the neck of the trembling man.

“Whew, we arrived.”

Kang Hyun, who had gone into hiding in the city, headed home while hiding as much as possible.

However, the enemies we inevitably encountered were dealt with quickly.

After moving for a long time, I was finally able to arrive in front of my house.

“Phew…”

Kang Hyun swallowed hard and slowly turned the doorknob.

-Clang, clang

The door was locked from the inside and would not open.

Kang-Hyeon, who didn’t have a key, knocked on the door carefully, but there was no sign of life.

“I’m Kang Hyun. Dad? Aren’t you inside?”

Kang Hyun spoke carefully through the crack in the door.

Only then was there a noise heard from inside.

“Honey, didn’t you hear Hyun’s voice just now?”

“Mom, it’s me. Open the door.”

“Hyun-ah!”

-Clap

As the door opened, I saw my mother shedding tears.

“How did you get here… Hyuna…!”

“Let’s go inside first and talk.”

Kang Hyun entered the house, trying to comfort his mother who was trying to hug him.

“Why did you come here? And what’s more, with that appearance…”

His father looked surprised at the dirty appearance of Kang-Hyeon, who looked like he had just come from a battlefield.

“There were some circumstances. Haha…”

“Yeah. You really had a hard time. You had a hard time.”

“I’m glad Mom is safe.”

After a while.

After sharing the joy of reunion, Kang Hyun started telling a serious story.

After listening to Kang Hyun’s words and getting a general idea of ​​the situation, the father opened his mouth.

“So, should we leave the city now?”

“yes.”

“Kang Hyun-ah, don’t do that. There are so many monsters out there!”

His mother was horrified at Kang-Hyeon’s words that he wanted to leave the house.

“The guys I saw on my way here were really searching the house. They’ll be here soon.”

Kang Hyun has seen several times on his way here that people hiding inside their houses are discovered by monsters and killed.

Fortunately, their evil has not yet reached this place, but who knows when they might strike.

“It would be better to go out of the city and into the mountains right now….”

“If you go out, are you sure you can escape without being caught by them?”

Kang-Hyeon shut his mouth at his father’s words.

There were a few fights on the way home too.

If you move with your parents, you will never be able to get out of the city without any problems.

“That won’t be possible. But I can protect you.”

“No matter how good you are at fighting, it will be difficult for you to move around while protecting us from the outside. Am I wrong?”

“…”

“Let’s just wait here until the army arrives.”

Kang-Hyeon became lost in thought after hearing his father’s words.

‘It might definitely be more dangerous to go outside.’

There is a chance that your parents might get hurt by a blind sword.

-Thump, thump!

Just as Kang Hyun was worrying, the outside of the house started to get noisy.

“Queek!”

“Are they orcs…”

I remembered seeing an orc wandering around this area on my way here.

It seemed like they got here faster than Kang Hyun expected.

“You two, stay still here.”

“Kang Hyun-ah, what are you going to do..!”

Kang Hyun took out the Skeleton Knight’s armor and longsword from his inventory.

“Here, take this. It’s better than nothing.”

“…”

“And, no matter what you hear outside, you absolutely must not come out!”

“i get it…”

Kang-Hyeon kicked open the front door and ran out, leaving his father behind, who nodded with a stern expression.

“This way, you little ones!”

The men’s attention was focused on Kang Hyun’s shout.

[Orc Warrior]

A familiar name with a familiar appearance.

These are the guys you’ve seen so many times in novels and movies.

However, they were a little different in that they were over 2 meters tall and had enormous physiques.

“Queek!”

The men running towards Kang Hyun were wearing leather armor.

Through the armor, you could see solid muscles that rivaled those of a bodybuilder.

“I hate muscle pigs the most!”

“Quiet!”

The men swung vicious swords and axes at Kang-Hyeon, swords that looked too heavy to even hold.

-visor!

Kang Hyun knocked aside the flying greatsword.

It was easier to fly than expected.

Although there was a difference in weight, Kang-Hyeon seemed to have a slight advantage in strength when using skills.

“Put the pressure down!”

When facing three orcs, Kang Hyeon did not back down an inch.

‘Don’t let the back get through!’

Contrary to their appearance, the orcs were intelligent and skilled in magic.

As I dodged one sword, a giant axe flew in right at that spot.

“Ugh..!”

Even though Kang Hyun received the blow with both hands, it felt like he would drop the sword at any moment due to the force of the axe.

-Crack!

In that moment, a great sword flying from the square struck Kang-Hyeon’s body.

Kang Hyun flew several meters in an instant and crashed into the wall.

“Coolook…”

Blood flowed from his mouth.

It felt like there was a crack in my bone.

If I hadn’t had my armor, I probably would have been torn in half alive.

“What the hell is this, there are so many orcs? Huh!”

Kang Hyun spat out the blood rising from his throat along with the liquid.

‘It’s not good to make a fuss. Let’s deal with it as quickly as possible.’

Kang Hyun, who had finished making his decision, looked at them.

‘First, we have to kill the guy with the axe.’

Kang Hyun glared at the axe-wielding orc who boasted unusually large muscles.

Although he was large, he was a bit slower than other orcs.

“Haaap!”

Kang Hyun, who ran at high speed, dodged the flying greatsword.

And then he lightly deflected the other greatsword that was flying after him.

The thrown greatsword flew towards the guy behind him, entangling their paths.

‘This is an opportunity!’

Kang-Hyeon left the men tangled up behind him and ran straight to the man with the axe.

“Squeak!?”

The guy’s eyes opened wide in surprise at Kang Hyun’s unexpected attack.

A sword swung in an instant.

Kang Hyun’s sword completely pierced the orc’s abdomen.

“Que… Queue..!”

Kang Hyun pulled out his sword and pushed away the man who was trembling with his sword stuck in him.

‘I have to finish it!’

At the moment when he was about to strike the fallen orc’s neck with his sword,

-Boohoo!

Kang Hyun threw himself at the sight of the approaching giant sword.

The greatsword swung by the orc narrowly missed Kang-Hyeon and struck the ground.

-bang!

As the sword struck the ground, sparks flew and the asphalt shattered.

“Queeeek!”

“What? Get up already!?”

The guy whose stomach had just been pierced was standing up with a venomous expression on his face.

I thought that even if I couldn’t finish it, I would be unable to fight for a while, but my prediction turned out to be surprisingly wrong.

‘But it’s not in perfect condition.’

The bastard, losing his mind with anger, rushed at Kang-Hyeon.

Instead of avoiding the attack, Kang Hyun lowered his posture and dove into the bastard’s arms.

“Queek?!”

And then he used the power of his running to pick him up and throw him away.

-Koosh!

The ground shook as the giant orc flew through the air and crashed into the ground.

“Queeeek!”

Taking advantage of the gap, two greatswords flew in at the same time.

Both of them could not be avoided.

‘Break through head on!’

Kang Hyun decided to give flesh and take bones.
