Solo Resurrection

Choi Min-jun’s face wrinkled as he stared in the direction of the voice.

“Kang Hyeon…?”

“Yeah. I’m fucking glad to see you too, so unfurrow your brow, you bastard.”

“You really are persistent till the end. It was my mistake. I should have killed you earlier.”

“Could you even do that?”

“We’ll see about that.”

As Choi Min-jun spoke, about twenty ability users appeared and stood behind him.

“I thought you were somewhat capable. But in the end, you’re just a common thug pushing with numbers.”

“Say whatever you want.”

“But we’ve also brought some numbers on our side.”

Kang Hyeon smiled and cleared his throat.

“Ahem, Hey! Come here. Help me. Help me!”

It was rough English at an elementary school level.

Now it was clear why Kang Hyeon only did an internship before getting kicked out.

However, there was no problem in conveying the meaning, so ability users started appearing one by one.

In total, ten of them gathered.

“It’s the first time for all of us, but let’s postpone the introductions for now. Okay?”

These were ability users who, like Kang Hyeon, sensed something wrong outside during the conference and rushed out.

Among them was Eden, known as America’s number one.

“I don’t know what you’re saying, but nice to meet you, Korean friend!”

They were all of different nationalities and couldn’t understand each other, but it didn’t matter.

They were all strong, and they came here to fight. And there were enemies in front of them. In this situation, no conversation was necessary.

“Let’s go!”

[Roar of Enraged Lion has been activated]

[All enemies’ morale and stats have decreased]

As Kang Hyeon shouted, red magical power burst out from Choi Min-jun’s body.

“I don’t know what it is, but it looks like it’s better not to touch it.”

The eleven ability users, including Kang Hyeon, each avoided the magical power and rushed towards Choi Min-jun.

“Such petty tricks!”

Eden deflected the rapidly approaching magical power with his greatsword. He smiled at the tingling impact felt in his grip.

“It’s been a while since I’ve had a proper fight.”

Numerically, Choi Min-jun’s group was about twice as large, but no one here cared about that.

They were all warriors of reversal who had achieved victory even when outnumbered ten to one.

However, contrary to expectations, confusion gradually began to appear on the faces of the ability users.

“These guys are not ordinary!”

“Damn! They’re too fast!”

“What is this? I can’t move my body!”

Each of the enemies possessed strength beyond common sense.

And if you got caught by that red magical power even for a moment, it was over.

The ability users couldn’t move, feeling as if hundreds of kilograms of weights were attached to their bodies.

“Oh, shit!”

Kang Hyeon was also quickly caught by the red magical power.

“Did you think something would change if you gathered? You all die here.”

“Shut up! This kind of thing… Argh!”

“Don’t struggle. It’s useless.”

Kang Hyeon tore at the red magical power enveloping his body with all his might.

His face turned red, and blood vessels popped up all over his body.

“You brute. This isn’t something you can break with brute force…”

Choi Min-jun paused for a moment.

The magical power restraining Kang Hyeon was gradually being torn away.

Currently, with all skills activated, Kang Hyeon’s strength reached a whopping 65. Choi Min-jun’s magical power couldn’t withstand this nonsensical, brute strength.

“What… What kind of nonsense is this?!”

“Have you been having fun with low-levels until now?!”

Finally, Kang Hyeon completely tore apart the red magical power. At the same time, he rushed towards Choi Min-jun with all his might.

Surprised, Choi Min-jun hurriedly focused all his magical power on Kang Hyeon.

‘Such monstrous strength. Is he even human?!’

He had heard about Kang Hyeon beforehand, but he didn’t know it was to this extent.

Breaking his magical power with pure physical strength was something that shouldn’t be possible unless it was a large monster.

“Argh! It’s useless, you bastard!”

“Wow! That guy is really tough, isn’t he?!”

Choi Min-jun’s unique ability was Magical Power Typification. Choi Min-jun had invested almost all his stats in magical power to handle this well.

Thanks to that, no ability user had ever escaped once caught by this magical power.

Capture meant victory.

This truth, which had become like an iron-clad rule, was shattered before Kang Hyeon.

‘Damn it. The compatibility is not good…’

At that moment, blue magical power began to burst out from Hyeon’s hands.

“It’s even easier now? What are you going to do?”

Kang Hyeon was now tearing apart the red magical power as easily as if it were paper.

‘Magical Power Typification? No, it’s a bit different. Is he emitting magical power?’

Whatever it was, Choi Min-jun’s skill didn’t work on Kang Hyeon.

“Great! I’m free.”

“You. Wait right there.”

To make matters worse, while he was focused on Kang Hyeon, the others had broken free from their restraints. Choi Min-jun sensed a crisis.

“Everyone, break through your limits! Now!”

At Choi Min-jun’s order, his subordinates nodded with grim expressions.

-Crunch!

They bit into small pills they had been keeping in their mouths.

“Urgh, urgh!”

“Aaaargh!”

These creatures already had appearances far removed from humans. But the moment they took the drug, they transformed into something that could no longer even be called human.

“Another transformation? What are you, Power Rangers?!”

Kang Hyeon was dumbfounded by the continuous transformations, but this wasn’t the time for that. He shouldn’t have given them time to transform.

“Attack! Attack! Kill! Enemy right now!”

Kang Hyeon used all the English he had prepared when he first joined, to alert others of the situation. Then he immediately swung his sword at the enemy in front of him.

-Clang!

However, the attack was futilely blocked by the creature’s hand. Contrary to expectations, the creatures’ transformation had ended too quickly.

“Huhuhuh…”

Completely enlarged bodies.

Rough steam emitted from their exhaled breath. The towering creatures’ height approached 3 meters, and an ominous aura flowed from their red eyes.

“What, is this like their final evolution or something?”

“Oh! Shit.”

“What kind of monsters is Korea raising?”

An immense pressure that even those not particularly sensitive to magical power could clearly feel. Beyond simply being high in numerical value, the magical power itself carried an unpleasant aggressiveness.

-Whoosh!

A giant hand came flying.

Kang Hyeon ducked his head to avoid the attack, feeling the chilling air pressure above him.

“Hup!”

“Argh!”

He swung Bilgein’s longsword into the opening. The sword tore into the creature’s skin, but not as deeply as expected.

“This one’s tough as nails, historically speaking.”

It wasn’t something that could be cut through by sheer strength and sharpness of the weapon alone.

‘Should I bring out Ogre’s hammer? No. With these guys’ speed, I might be the one getting hit instead.’

If he brought out Ogre’s giant hammer, it would certainly make an impact. However, considering the creatures’ quick movements, it was clear that even landing a hit would not be easy.

‘I’ll do what I can for now!’

Infusing the sword with magical power had to be left as a last resort.

It wasn’t yet perfected, and the consumption of magical and mental energy was too great.

Kang Hyeon first maximized his body’s speed.

It seemed there was no other option but to engage directly for now.

-Clang, clang, clang!

“One cut, two halves!”

Kang Hyeon moved at an incredible speed, pressuring the creature.

Soon, wounds began to multiply all over the creature’s body.

“What is that?”

“Such movements. Is his level 80 or something…?”

Other ability users marveled at Kang Hyeon’s speed.

“Aaaargh!”

“Die quietly!”

Kang Hyeon hadn’t yet achieved perfect control over his stats, but neither had the creatures.

The creatures attacked instinctively, but their movements were at the level of strong children, even worse than before.

‘What?’

That’s when it happened.

Kang Hyeon, while swinging his sword, felt something was off.

-Crack…

Cracks began to appear on the sword.

‘No way… It can’t be?’

Anxiety crept up, but there was nothing he could do.

The enemy was right in front of him, and Kang Hyeon had to kill it.

“Die!”

Kang Hyeon swung his sword with all his might towards the creature’s skull.

-Shatter!

At the same time, Bilgein’s longsword broke into dozens of pieces, scattering into the air.

“Oh, shit…”

Kang Hyeon stared helplessly at the broken sword.

“Why the hell? You’re a B-grade weapon, man!”

Bilgein’s longsword was not only B-grade but also had a durability enhancement function built-in.

It didn’t self-repair like Ronald’s armor that he usually wore, but even that rarely failed.

Yet Bilgein’s longsword had shattered.

“No way!”

Kang Hyeon remembered fighting Kergo not long ago.

At that time, the durability of Bilgein’s longsword had been greatly worn down by Kergo.

‘You goblin bastard… You’re dead when I get back.’

Kang Hyeon’s contemplation didn’t last long.

“Urgh!”

A momentary lapse due to surprise.

The creature’s attack, not missing that brief moment, landed on Kang Hyeon.

-Whoosh, boom! Boom!

Kang Hyeon, flying like a cannonball, crashed into a building, causing the outer wall to collapse with a thunderous noise.

“Is this the end? Without that Korean friend, the fight might become difficult…”

“Sadly, after taking a hit like that, it’s impossible to endure.”

The basics of fighting is evasion.

Overwhelming strong attacks inflict impacts that are hard to even defend against. Having taken such an attack head-on, the ability users thought Kang Hyeon must have sustained at least severe injuries.

“Cough! Ah… Shit. It’s been a while since I took a proper hit.”

But Kang Hyeon easily shattered those expectations.

Pushing aside the concrete debris while expressing annoyance, Kang Hyeon rubbed his shoulder.

“What? Why is he so fine?”

“Hahaha! What an interesting fellow.”

Ignoring the incomprehensible foreign languages behind him, Kang Hyeon stretched his body.

“Right. Anyway, just normal attacks won’t work on these guys.”

Tough and fast creatures.

If they continued fighting with ordinary attacks, it was obvious that everyone would collapse from exhaustion even if they won the battle.

Kang Hyeon decided to move more boldly.

“Graaaah!”

“That bastard…”

The creature that had landed a blow on Kang Hyeon was quite satisfied, roaring with its mouth wide open.

Seeing this, Kang Hyeon, with veins popping on his forehead, leaped onto the creature’s shoulders in one breath.

Then he shoved both arms deep into the creature’s wide-open mouth.

“Guurgh?!”

The creature’s eyes widened in surprise.

It tried desperately to close its mouth, but Kang Hyeon’s strength and skin toughness were no less than the monster-transformed creature.

“Magic Explosion!”

The creature’s body swelled up like a balloon from the explosion inside.

“Graaaah!”

-Pop!

The massive body burst into hundreds of pieces, scattering into the air.

The hot blood and flesh stung Kang Hyeon’s cheeks as they struck him.

“Whew…”

Kang Hyeon looked down at his hands. Ronald’s armor, a B-grade equipment, was severely damaged.

“A few more times and the armor will be completely destroyed…”

And after that, his arms would take direct damage.

From the beginning, Magic Explosion wasn’t a skill designed for such close-range use.

“Tough guy! Awesome!”

“What a brute.”

Ignoring the foreign languages heard around him, Kang Hyeon looked around.

“Hey, where did he go?”

But Choi Min-jun was nowhere to be seen.

***

Ippotranslation

“Whew…”

Choi Min-jun suppressed the anger boiling up inside him. He wanted to settle things with Kang Hyeon right away, but now wasn’t the time.

“Just wait a little. Once I deal with those guys, it’ll really be your turn, Kang Hyeon.”

Finally arriving at the conference hall, Choi Min-jun smiled with satisfaction as he saw those coming out from the opposite side.

‘Heaven is on my side.’

It was the Warriors and the U.S. President.

While the others didn’t matter, he absolutely had to eliminate the U.S. President.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“Remove that man!”

At the words of Ella, the woman positioned at the back, burly guild members came running.

Choi Min-jun looked at them indifferently and raised his hand, emitting magical power.

“Urgh, what is this?!”

“I can’t move my body!”

“It’ll cost some magical power, but I have no choice since I’m in a hurry. Die.”

To apply strong pressure in a short time requires even more magical power.

Usually, he would let them die slowly to conserve magical power, but now there was no time for that.

“Aaaaargh!”

“Guh, gak!”

Guild members dying brutally as their entire bodies burst. Satisfied with the sight, Choi Min-jun nodded and walked forward.

“Ugh… Die! Aaaack!”

Whether driven by a sense of duty or unable to overcome the encroaching fear, their reasons for charging didn’t matter.

All were equally captured and died.

“What’s the reason for doing this?!”

“I’ll let you know in hell later. I’m a bit busy now.”

“Aaaack!”

In truth, if all the guild members here rushed at him at once, even Choi Min-jun would have no choice but to flee.

It was impossible to subdue so many strong individuals in one breath. But already overwhelmed by his aura, they only hesitated and retreated.

‘As expected. Just a bit more pressure, and I’ll deal with the President and leave.’

Eventually, some couldn’t withstand the pressure and started to flee.

“Aaah! That’s a monster. Run away!”

“I can’t die so meaninglessly!”

“You fools. No! Don’t run away!”

The vice guild leader Ella tried to stop them, but the situation was already out of control.

As one or two started to flee, unrest quickly spread among the remaining members.

“Kuku. Yes… That’s your true insect-like nature.”

-Tap tap tap tap!

That’s when it happened.

Choi Min-jun’s head quickly turned at the sound of running footsteps from behind.

“Hup?!”

There was an incarnation of hell, covered in blood from head to toe, running towards him.

Seeing the absurdly huge hammer in his hand, Choi Min-jun hastily deployed a defensive wall.

“Too late, bastard!”

-Boom!

Kang Hyeon’s hammer collided with Choi Min-jun’s magical defense wall.

-Clang, clang, clang!

‘No, no, no!’

The defense wall made of magical power shattered helplessly.

The giant hammer approached Choi Min-jun as if in slow motion.

‘Damn it…’

-Whack!

Hit by the hammer, Choi Min-jun flew through the air like a bullet.

Kang Hyeon watched the scene and laughed refreshingly.

“Home run-!”
