Episode 26: The Arrogance of the Weak (2)
26. The Pride of the Weak (2)
Two greatswords flying at the same time.
Both cannot be avoided.
‘I have to take one hit. Instead, I have to make sure to take the other guy’s life.’
Kang Hyun did not dodge the flying greatsword but instead stabbed it in.
It was possible because of the armor’s defensive power, his own recovery ability, and his belief in resurrection.
“Squeak…”
In an instant, the orc whose neck had been pierced spat out blood.
-Crack!
“Cough!”
At the same time, a heavy impact was felt on Kang Hyun’s back.
Blood burst out of Kang Hyun’s mouth along with a groan.
“Ugh, if I take out my body, it’s a corpse. You punk!”
It’s true that he’s been quiet recently, but Kang-Hyeon has always lived in pain since the dungeon incident.
The feeling of my back breaking was nothing compared to the actual breaking of my back.
“Whoaap!”
“Queek?!”
A brief gap caused by carelessness.
Those who successfully attack reveal a very short gap.
Normally, it is impossible to ignore the pain and take advantage of the gap when being attacked, but
Kang Hyun made it possible.
-Squeak
Ignoring the pain in his back, Kang Hyun pulled the sword out of the orc’s neck.
And then he swung it straight at the other guy’s face.
The guy who noticed the attack quickly threw his head back, but ended up getting one of his eyes cut off.
“Quiet! Quieeeek!”
The orc screamed and ran away, clutching his eyes.
It was the moment when Kang Hyun was about to finish that guy off.
“Quack!”
“What kind of survival skills is a cockroach?!”
The orc that Kang Hyun had thrown a moment ago. The orc, with a hole in its stomach and wounds all over its body, was now wielding an axe and was approaching Kang Hyun.
-Boohoo!
The axe that the bastard swung diagonally narrowly missed Kang-Hyeon’s head.
-Push!
Kang Hyun, who dodged the attack by sliding, quickly stood up and stabbed the bastard under the chin with his sword.
“Squeak, squeak..!”
Kang Hyun ignored the bastard’s final scream and pulled out his sword.
Blood spurted from the bastard’s neck and sprayed in all directions.
“Haa, haa. Now you’re the only one left.”
Kang Hyun, covered in blood all over his body, glared at the last orc.
All of his colleagues are dead and he himself has lost one eye.
It’s normal to feel afraid.
But the bastard opened his one remaining eye and glared at Kang-Hyeon.
Those eyes were burning with utter determination.
“Queek, quack!”
The orc aimed his greatsword at Kang-Hyeon and said something.
Kang Hyun-do also raised his sword and aimed it at the orc.
“The kid who’s about to lose has a lot of energy.”
Orc nodded solemnly, mistaking Kang Hyun’s words for great determination.
“Quieeeeek!”
“Make the pigs slit their throats!”
Oak and Kang-Hyeon ran towards each other, screaming.
‘Aim for an area with limited vision due to an eye injury.’
Judgment and movement occurred simultaneously.
The orc’s sword barely passed Kang-Hyeon,
“One stroke of a sword, two cuts!”
-Squeak!
Kang Hyun’s sword passed cleanly across the bastard’s neck.
“Squeak..?”
The moment when the neck is perfectly cut off.
Even at that moment, the bastard’s eyes were wide open and he was staring straight ahead as if he couldn’t believe it.
-Thump, thump…
The bastard walked a few more steps with his head still hanging off.
And then he fell down.
“Those damn bastards… phew.”
It was one of the most difficult battles ever.
Kang Hyun sat down on the floor and slowly took a deep breath.
[Level up!]

Kang Hyun smiled at the sound he heard next.
“Good timing.”
As I leveled up, all my wounds and fatigue were healed, and I felt like I was flying.
“How long has it been since you leveled up?”
That was when.
“huh..?”
“Quick! Quiek!”
“Ugh! Ugh!”
The voices of other orcs could be heard nearby. They seemed to be comrades of the orc I had just dealt with.
‘f*ck. I was just thinking about getting some rest…’
Kang Hyun’s expression hardened seriously.
‘Wait a minute, aren’t there more than one or two of these?’
I risked my life just to kill three of them.
But this time, the quick-quick sound was so loud that it was unpleasant even to hear it casually.
‘At least ten or more.’
The moment we meet, it’s as good as death.
Kang Hyun quickly hid his body.
“Quieeeeek!”
Soon after, the orcs arrived at Kang Hyun’s location and started to riot when they saw the bodies of their fallen comrades.
The guys looked around with bloodshot eyes.
His gaze was soon fixed on the apartment where his parents lived.
‘You can’t do that!’
Kang Hyun, who was becoming anxious, quickly came out and shouted.
“Piglets. Over here!”
[The Lion of Wrath is activated]
[All enemies’ morale and abilities have been reduced]
Kang Hyun’s screams resonated throughout the city.
“Queeeeeeeeeeeek!”
At the same time, the orcs who discovered Kang Hyeon also let out a scream.
[Orc Warrior]
[Orc Warrior]
I risked my life with just three warriors.
But among the dozens of warriors, there is also one vicious guy called the Great Warrior.
“Haa, I’m done for…”
Kang Hyun let out a sigh and roughly ran his hands through his hair.
**
“Khuuuk!”
Kang-Hyeon, who was hit by the blade of a giant greatsword, retreated, bleeding profusely.
‘These things… are totally toying with me.’
They thoroughly toyed with Kang Hyeon.
After surrounding Kang Hyeon and creating a makeshift arena, the great warrior alone came forward and fought Kang Hyeon.
-bang!
An orc caught Kang-hyeon, who had been hit by the Great Warrior’s sword and was flying away. Then he immediately pushed Kang-hyeon back into the circle.
“Queek, quick, quick!”
‘There is no hope.’
Even in peak condition, there was nothing the Great Warrior could do.
If dozens of orcs rushed in on top of that, it was clear that it would be over in an instant.
‘It’s okay. Even if I die, I will be resurrected anyway.’
Although he had never experienced death outside before, Kang Hyun was certain.
If I die now and they go back like this, that’s all I’ll be thankful for.
‘If only my parents were safe…’
“Kang Hyun-ah, no!”
“Squeak!”
Kang Hyun’s eyes widened at the sound of his mother’s voice coming from above.
The guys who noticed where my parents were ran to the apartment.
“You can’t!
Now that it had come to this, there was no need to look back.
“Okay. Let’s see the end.”
[Use Light Warrior]
[Strength and stamina increase by 1.5 times for 5 minutes]
The skill Berserker embedded in Billgain’s sword.
While using it, normal judgment becomes difficult and after 5 minutes, you become completely exhausted and unable to do anything.
That’s why Kang Hyun-do doesn’t use this skill unless he’s really prepared to risk his life.
“Eww!”
Kang Hyun’s eyes turned red and the muscles all over his body swelled up viciously.
-Bang!
The sword that Kang Hyun brandished clashed with the sword of the great warrior.
The warrior’s arm, momentarily pushed back by the force, was thrown back, and Kang-Hyeon slashed at the defenseless man’s front.
“Kuaaaah!”
The great warrior screamed in pain. At the same time, all the surrounding orcs rushed to Kang-Hyeon.
-Bam, bang!
-Squeak!
Kang Hyun swung his sword in a state of complete selflessness.
He didn’t care whether he was cut by a sword or torn by an axe.
The sole purpose is to kill the enemy.
It was just moving for that one thing.
“Quieeeeek!”
The orcs scream loudly.
It was the desperate scream of those who had their limbs cut off.
“Eww!”
Kang Hyun, who is wearing a bloody jacket.
The armor has long since become a rag.
The body was torn to the point where it was no longer possible to move.
‘If I can buy some time like this…’
That alone is fortunate.
-Crack!
Kang Hyun’s thoughts ended there.
The greatsword swung with tremendous force struck Kang-Hyeon in the side.
-Kwaaang!
Kang Hyun, who had been flying dozens of meters, hit the outer wall of the building and fell to the ground.
“Coolook!”
Kang Hyun, lying on the floor, raised his head and looked at his body.
I noticed that the waist was cut in half.
Kang-Hyeon collapsed completely on the floor as he saw the intestines flowing out from between the armor.
“f*ck…”
It doesn’t matter if I die.
Because if I die I’ll be resurrected anyway.
But the guilt of not being able to protect his parents will haunt him forever.
“Is this how it ends up…”
Just before Kang Hyun’s breathing stopped,
“It’s an orc!”
People appeared from somewhere and ran towards the orc.
-Cheong! Cheong!
“Stop it!”
“Squeak!”
They were all capable people who wore armor and cold weapons instead of guns.
‘Who is it…?’
These people suddenly appeared and pushed back the orcs in one breath.
Among them, a woman with long, flowing hair who was swaying among the orcs stood out.
“Put the pressure down!”
“Queek!”
The woman dodged the orc’s sword and immediately stabbed him in the vital spot with it.
And then he quickly dodged.
-Bang!
The Great Warrior’s sword comes down on the spot, and a woman who has moved behind the Great Warrior pierces his chest with her sword.
The series of movements were as natural as flowing water, without any obstructions.
Every movement was carefully calculated to ensure maximum efficiency.
Kang Hyun finally figured out who the woman was.
‘Han Se-yeon.’
There was no way I didn’t know who it was.
That’s because I’m officially one of only two tutorial graduates in South Korea.
‘You fight well…’
Looking at her, Kang Hyun remembered something Kang Ah Hyun had once said.
-Shit. Are you saying that an elite who graduated from the tutorial in a week is the same as a slacker who struggled for over 3 months?
Kang Hyun swallowed a laugh as he recalled those words.
‘Bujin-ah. Bujin-ah… It really was. Hehe.’
Honestly, I didn’t know the difference would be this big.
In fact, I thought that if we fought one-on-one, I might win.
That thought grew stronger as I walked through the dungeon.
I used to laugh at people who were hesitant to fight monsters that I could kill with a single stroke.
-Why is everyone so sloppy? Was I actually a talented person?
The events of the past few months flashed before my eyes.
I was just excited about making money.
He ran wild like an unbridled calf, knowing that he was a little stronger than others.
-You shouldn’t treat them like that. Do it like this!
-wow!
I was dumbfounded when I thought about how I had bragged about my mediocre skills in front of people.
“f*ck, what the heck is a talented person…”
As Kang Ah-hyun said, it turns out that she was a poor student.
It’s just that I had more experience than others and was slightly ahead due to the extreme situations I had to go through.
“If only I had tried a little harder…”
After graduating from the tutorial, I felt regretful about the time I spent just wandering around.
If I had continued to work hard like I did during the tutorial, at least I wouldn’t have been so helpless.
‘Mom, are you okay, Dad?’
I wanted to get up and check, but I couldn’t move a single finger.
Consciousness gradually fades.
It’s been a long time since he felt this sensation, but Kyunghyun knows this feeling well.
Death has come.
‘Just stay alive. Next time, I will definitely protect you… .’
Kang Hyun’s consciousness disappeared before he could finish his words.
**
“The guild leader is finished.”
“great job.”
“There are civilian survivors here too.”
“Please hand them over well when the soldiers arrive.”
“yes!”
After giving the instructions, Han Se-yeon looked around.
“Where is it?”
Apparently, when I arrived here, there was a man lying down a little distance away.
It was clear from the circumstances that the man had been in combat with an orc.
“He seemed like a pretty skilled person…”
Han Se-yeon, who saw the battlefield for the first time, was very surprised.
Because the corpses of more than ten orcs were strewn about in a gruesome manner.
In addition, the great warrior was also injured and staggering.
‘I thought you were definitely fighting with another guild…’
It was simply not something that one capable person could do alone.
But wherever I looked, the man was the only one fighting the orcs.
He seemed to have already lost his breath, but he was clearly a very skilled man.
“I tried to collect the body at least.”
In the meantime, it seemed like another monster had gone after the corpse.
“There’s no way around it. It was my fate to die like that.”
If he died without even leaving a body behind, that would be the man’s fate.
“Yeah. It’s fate.”
As if he had taken on the mission to save the Earth from destruction.
