Solo Resurrection

Chapter 74 – World Dungeon Summit(3)

-Bang!

“Did you hear that just now?”

“I didn’t, but…”

“It’s gunfire.”

Kang Hyeon, who spoke, rushed outside urgently.

“Where are you going?!”

“You guys stay here and guard the place with the guild members.”

Shin Seong-a tried to stop Kang Hyeon, but he had already left the meeting place.

“Mr. An Yu-seong, aren’t you going after him?”

“I think it’s better to stay here this time. By the way, sis. Can’t you stop using that creepy formal speech?”

“Huh…?”

Shin Seong-a was taken aback by An Yu-seong’s sudden words.

“You’re older than me, so just speak comfortably.”

“A-ahem… O-okay. An Yu-seong…”

Shin Seong-a, her face reddened, made a strange sound due to the awkwardness that came over her.

“Sigh, forget it. Just speak like you usually do.”

“Yes. I’m more comfortable this way too.”

The two crossed their arms as if they had made a promise. They remained in that state as time passed in silence.

“Do you know where Mr. Kang Hyeon went?”

“I’m not a fortune-teller or a prophet, you know. I don’t know either.”

“I see…”

Silence fell again.

Suddenly, An Yu-seong stood up abruptly.

“Oh!”

“What is it?”

“They’re coming. Sis, get your weapon ready.”

“Huh?”

At that moment, the conference hall started to become noisy.

People who looked like security guards were bustling about.

“Sir, we need to evacuate you.”

“What do you mean…?”

“Everyone, stay calm!”

Watching this scene, An Yu-seong smiled.

“They’re here.”

-Boom!

With a tremendous noise, the outer wall of the meeting place was instantly shattered.

Hundreds of intruders began to rush into the building that had suddenly become riddled with holes like a beehive.

“Graaah!”

At first glance, the intruders appeared to have a form similar to humans. However, upon closer inspection, they looked more like monsters than humans.

“Familiar faces.”

After confirming the intruders, An Yu-seong looked at the guild members.

“You’ve fought them before, right? As you know, their physical abilities are as ridiculously high as our guild master’s, so be careful.”

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll go first!”

He didn’t think all guild members would survive.

Even with their recent rapid growth, they would be in danger if just a few of these guys attacked.

“If you die, that’s all there is to it. Hehehe.”

Screams, the sound of something breaking.

The dust floating in the air was settled by the blood being spilled.

In the middle of the battlefield where it was hard to distinguish between friend and foe, only An Yu-seong looked comfortable.

“Enemy!”

“Protect the President!”

“Damn it. Where did these guys come from?!”

“We have the advantage both in numbers and quality. Let’s defend and take them out one by one…”

“Argh!”

“These guys are no ordinary enemies!”

It was a crucible of chaos.

Those who were suddenly struck by this bolt from the blue ran around like flies hit with insecticide.

‘Are those guys the final version or something?’

An Yu-seong’s eyes narrowed sharply as he observed the situation.

‘Their movements are not ordinary. Most of the guys who act all high and mighty here won’t last long.’

It wasn’t a matter of technique.

The overwhelming difference in physical specs.

Just as Kang Hyeon had done, they overwhelmed everything with their tremendous physical abilities.

“Graaah!”

Eventually, a man rushed at An Yu-seong too. The guy’s arms had transformed into something like skewers, looking extremely sharp and hard.

-Whoosh, whoosh!

The sound of his arms cutting through the air grated on the ears.

An Yu-seong calmly dodged all attacks, but the guy persistently followed and thrust his arms.

One careless moment could result in holes all over his body.

Even in this life-threatening situation, An Yu-seong laughed cheerfully.

“Hahaha! You’re pretty strong indeed!”

In that instant, An Yu-seong skillfully twisted his body between the guy’s arms and approached him.

“Urgh?!”

The guy was startled by An Yu-seong’s sudden approach. He couldn’t attack An Yu-seong with his hands that had turned into awls at such close range.

“Your skin was tough, I wonder if it’s the same here?”

An Yu-seong, who had burrowed into the guy’s embrace, was holding two small daggers.

Without hesitation, he plunged the daggers into both of the enemy’s eyes.

“Graaaaaaah!”

“You’re not dead?”

Despite being stabbed quite deeply, the guy only screamed in pain without falling.

An Yu-seong immediately took out a mace and struck the ends of the daggers again.

-Crunch!

The daggers went in up to the handles in an instant, and the guy fell silent.

“At this rate, I’d have to beat them all day long with just the mace. Why are they so tough?”

The enemies’ defense was even stronger than expected.

It seemed impossible to finish them cleanly with just one blow to the head like before.

“If I had more time, I could have enjoyed this more!”

There wasn’t time to catch and enjoy each one. An Yu-seong focused on incapacitating rather than killing them outright as he moved quickly.

“Graaah!”

-Boom.

An Yu-seong dashed through the air without paying any attention to the terrain or obstacles.

While doing so, he accurately struck the vital points of the intruders.

Many enemies seemed to fall from his efforts, but soon after, they recovered from their wounds and stood up again.

‘Do they recover if I don’t finish them off completely?’

Powerful physical abilities.

Excellent recovery.

Reckless disregard for their own lives.

“Fortunately, they’re just like Kang Hyeon in that they lack combat sense. Hehehe.”

Of course, saying that Kang Hyeon lacked combat sense was only by An Yu-seong’s standards.

“Die!”

Just then, a particularly sharp cry pierced through the noise of the battlefield.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a woman with a small build and unusual attire struggling.

“Cosplay?”

Her name was Yoon Na-rae.

A second-year university student.

“Why won’t these things die?!”

Yoon Na-rae was certainly a talent that Choi Dong-woo would covet.

Even with multiple enemies targeting her, she moved swiftly, avoiding fatal blows.

Despite the urgency, she combined various spells to attack them, but the power was insufficient.

Even when her attacks hit, she couldn’t finish them off due to interference from other enemies. In the meantime, the attacked enemies recovered and rejoined the battle.

Eventually, as this vicious cycle repeated, Yoon Na-rae’s magic power was depleting, and she was gradually becoming exhausted.

“Huff, huff!”

There seemed to be no way out.

In fact, even in a one-on-one fight, it would be hard to guarantee victory against these enemies. The fact that she was holding out against several such powerful foes was already impressive.

‘So I’m supposed to die like this…? No way! There’s still so much I haven’t done!’

She steeled her resolve, thinking of all the cosplays she hadn’t tried yet. However, regardless of her determination, the wounds on her body were gradually increasing.

“Argh!”

In an instant, an attack she couldn’t dodge struck Yoon Na-rae.

As Yoon Na-rae’s face contorted in pain, the enemies gathered around her.

“No…”

This is the end.

A hideous claw stretched out towards her.

In the repulsive, blackened palm, her life flashed before her eyes.

Behind the slowly approaching hand, she could see the grinning face of the enemy.

Just as everything seemed to be moving in slow motion and Yoon Na-rae was about to close her eyes…

‘Huh…?’

Suddenly, a blood-stained mace appeared next to the enemy’s face.

The huge spike attached to the mace pierced through the enemy’s temple.

At the same time, the eyes of the enemy looking at her widened greatly.

-Bang!

With a deafening sound that struck her ears, her sense of time returned to normal.

The enemy hit in the head by the mace flew at tremendous speed and crashed into the wall.

“Grr… Urk!”

The trembling enemy only stopped moving after an arrow from somewhere lodged in its throat.

“What the-?! Thanks to you, I’m alive! Huh..? Who are you?”

Yoon Na-rae, who was about to express her gratitude, paused.

“Where have I seen you before?”

“Is that important right now?”

An Yu-seong smiled slightly and swung his mace again at an approaching enemy.

“Gwaak!”

The enemies she had been struggling against were being knocked down in an instant. Seeing this, Yoon Na-rae’s eyes widened.

‘He’s so cool…’

A rather flashy leather jacket, as if he also enjoyed cosplay like her.

Skull accessories dangling here and there. Tattoos visible on exposed skin.

She liked everything about it, but there was something she liked the most.

“He’s handsome…”

“I know that, so how about you help out a bit?”

Yoon Na-rae blushed and rushed out at the slip of her unconscious murmur.

“What are you saying! Hmph!”

Although they had just met, they quickly synchronized and started taking down enemies together.

Both of them had excellent combat sense, and especially Yoon Na-rae’s supportive abilities were outstanding, creating a synergy far beyond expectations.

“This is fun too, isn’t it?”

It was the first time he had synchronized with someone like this, except for Shin Seong-a. But the cooperation with Yoon Na-rae was much more in sync and efficient than that.

‘What kind of guy is he…?’

Yoon Na-rae was also continuously surprised.

.’He’s really perfect’

He always looked several steps ahead and moved with optimal efficiency.

Moreover, he naturally utilized her attacks as if they were his own, despite meeting her for the first time today.

“Gwaak!”

“Let’s take these ones out first!”

The magic that made 1+1=3.

As enemies fell in an instant to their joint attack, many eyes in the conference hall were drawn to them.

“Who on earth are they…”

Ella, the vice guild master of the Warriors, couldn’t take her eyes off their fight either.

“I guess the world is vast… But thanks to them, we survived.”

“Enemy!”

“Protect the President!”

Shouts could be heard from all directions, and the solemn conference venue transformed into a devil’s playground in an instant.

Amidst the chaos, Ella quickly gathered her wits and gave orders to the guild members.

“Protect the key figures!”

There were a hundred Warriors guild members gathered here. While most other countries brought about ten escorts, the Warriors were different.

They were chosen as one of the five guilds responsible for security at today’s conference venue.

Therefore, Ella had to protect not only the American personnel but everyone present here.

“Damn it! Where did Eden go at a time like this?!”

Just before the enemies barged in, the blonde guild master, Eden, suddenly left the conference venue.

-I heard something just now. I’ll be back soon, so wait!

And less than 5 minutes after Eden left, this disaster struck.

“Vice Guild Master. Don’t worry.”

“That’s right. When have we ever not fought without Eden?”

“Yeah. We are Warriors.”

As Ella became anxious, the guild members smiled and spoke.

“Hah. Alright. But don’t go wild like usual. Don’t forget our purpose is protection.”

“Of course.”

“Then I’ll move as usual, so I’m counting on you.”

Ella, who had spoken, melted into the background in the blink of an eye. She concealed her presence and leapt into the midst of the battle.

‘I don’t know who these guys are, but they’ll have to pay for interfering.’

If her combat style could be described in one word, it would be assassin.

Many enemies perished without even being able to resist her attacks, which involved quietly approaching and striking vital points in one go.

Among those enemies were, of course, not only monsters but also humans.

‘You’re first.’

An attacker was assaulting a man who was trembling pitifully.

Ella approached from behind and swiftly slashed at his neck with her dagger.

-Slash

‘Damn. Too shallow!’

The dagger, which should have severed the guy’s spine in one go, only managed to graze the skin.

“Argh!”

-Thud, Bang!

The result of that very brief moment of confusion and hesitation was fatal.

The guy’s swinging arm struck Ella’s side squarely, and she flew several meters in an instant, crashing into a wall.

“Cough! Tougher than your average monster, huh?”

She spoke calmly, but her insides were a mess.

‘Damn. What power… My ribs are broken even with armor on.’

It wasn’t that she had let her guard down.

The enemy’s abilities were simply beyond her expectations.

‘If they’re at this level, the guild members are in danger too. We need Eden here.’

Looking towards the guild members with concern, she saw them struggling as expected.

“What are these things?!”

“Don’t face them head-on! Coordinate attacks and take them on steadily!”

Like veterans who had survived countless battles, they were still holding on, but it was unclear how long they could last.

“Argh!”

“Over there!”

The enemies moved in an organized manner, as if thoroughly trained.

Unlike our side, where too many guilds had gathered and couldn’t cooperate, they were a single group.

Selection and concentration. With quick hit-and-run tactics, there were already numerous casualties.

And now their target was the Warriors Guild.

“Haah!”

Ella, having received treatment from a guild member, quickly rejoined the battle, but the situation wasn’t favorable.

“Damn! Not enough power!”

It wasn’t that the enemies’ skills or level itself was high. But their tremendous physical abilities and recovery power more than made up for it.

“We need to kill them in one go with combined attacks! Otherwise, they recover quickly!”

“Ugh. Don’t overdo it, buy time!”

Ella’s brow furrowed at the shout that suddenly erupted from among the enemies.

‘What? Buy time?’

Because she had been interested in Korea for a while, she was somehow able to understand what they said.

‘They should be trying to end this quickly and escape… But buying time?’

Her contemplation didn’t last long.

Sharp blades were flying at her from all directions.

-Clang!

“Tch!”

There was no time to worry about buying time. At this rate, the damage would become uncontrollable. No, they might all die.

“Hahaha! Isn’t this fun?”

“Raaah! Take care of this one first!”

At that moment, her gaze turned towards a maniacal laughter in the distance.

There was a man dressed like he was in a rock band, without proper armor, running around like a madman.

-Boom! Boom! Bang!

“What is that…?”

Even the top-tier ability users in America couldn’t move like that.

At a glance, it might seem like he was simply swinging his weapon around, but there was meticulous calculation and sense behind it.

-Whoosh! Boom!

And the magic flying from behind appropriately supported him, helping him exert his abilities to 120% or more.

“I guess the world is vast… But thanks to them, we’re saved.”

Fortunately, the enemies seemed to have agreed to deal with those two first.

Some of the guys who were attacking the Warriors turned and rushed towards the pair.

“Now’s our chance! Push forward with all you’ve got! We’re leaving the conference hall.”

Protecting wasn’t important anymore. If they didn’t use this opportunity, the Warriors would be finished too.

“This way!”

Ella led the U.S. President and the VIPs who could move immediately towards the exit of the conference hall.

“Just hold on a little longer!”

The entrance was visible in the distance.

Just as they were about to step out into the bright sunlight, someone blocked their path.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

A man speaking fluent English.

He was covered in wounds and bleeding all over.

His cold and sharp appearance would have been attractive enough to hit on in normal circumstances, but now wasn’t the time.

“Get that man out of the way!”

At Ella’s words, the guild members rushed forward.

“Hey, idol star. Sorry if we’re a bit rough!”

The large Warriors Guild members charged at the man.

The man with the slim build looked so precarious that he might fly away with just a brush. However, the man calmly stretched out his hand.

“The most important guest can’t leave the party.”

Simultaneously, something like red threads burst out from him.

They instantly constricted the guild members’ bodies.

“Ugh, what is this?!”

“I can’t move my body!”

“Ella! Do something!”

The man smiled coldly at the sight.

“It’ll use up some magic power, but I’m in a hurry so it can’t be helped. Die.”

“Arghhhh!”

“Guh, gak!”

America’s number one guild.

The best of the elite.

Those who belonged there died horribly, their bodies bursting apart without even being able to use their strength properly.

“This can’t be…”

Ella’s legs gave out and she collapsed at the unbelievable scene.

“Where on earth is Eden…”
