Solo Resurrection

Chapter 96

Chaos of Confusion (2)

“Prhrrrr!”

Panath, who had spewed out his breath, shook his head roughly.

The breath was his trump card that could only be used once a day.

He had wanted to save it because using it once drained all the strength from his body, but he had no choice.

He hadn’t expected all the monsters in this place to pounce on him.

“Kiaaaa-!”

Although he was quite tired, the result was satisfactory.

A third of them had turned to ashes from the breath he had unleashed after a long time.

Moreover, he was able to eliminate the human he hated the most.

Although it was the first time he had seen him today, Panath had sensed it.

That he was the root cause of all this trouble.

Furthermore, he had even thrown a threatening log at him.

“Uoooh!”

“Keurk, Keek!”

He could see the monsters who had barely avoided the breath trembling in fear.

Now everything had returned to its rightful place.

He was the absolute ruler of the forest.

The rest were all just insignificant bugs.

“Kiaaak-!”

It was when the satisfied Panath was about to howl again.

“Thank you!”

“Kia…?”

Panath turned his head at the sudden voice.

There, the human who had been directly hit by the breath just moments ago was glaring at him.

Panath’s eyes widened, not expecting that guy to be alive.

“Thanks to you, I’ve had my fill of hot saunas for the year. You bastard!”

And then something tremendous struck his toe.

-Pueok!

“Kiaaaaa-!”

-Ssssss

-Tadak, Tadak

The sound of burning wood could be heard.

“Ugh…”

As he carefully opened his eyes, he saw ashes scattering in all directions.

-Ding, Dang!

[The level of Heat Resistance has increased]

[The level of Heat Resistance has increased]

Messages popped up simultaneously.

“Shit… I really almost died.”

Faced with the flames, Kang Hyeon quickly hid behind a rock and used Entria’s outer shell.

Even so, he had almost died.

His entire body was burned, and a chunk of magic power had drained out trying to heal it.

“Haa, are the others okay?”

Looking around, all he could see was ashes.

He could also see the remains of an ogre that was still burning.

“I don’t need to worry about An Yu-seong…”

He’s the kind of guy who somehow manages to save his own life, so he should be fine.

“Shin seong-a… Is Yoon Na-rae alive?”

He carefully used his magic power to sense the surroundings, but it was useless.

The magic inside the dungeon was fluctuating due to Panath’s breath.

“Kiaaak-!”

In the distance, he could see Panath howling.

“Is he… Laughing?”

He didn’t know how he understood that a bird could laugh.

But Kang Hyeon was certain.

The creature was laughing.

“You’re dead.”

The clothes he had been wearing were gone, and Ronald’s armor was half-destroyed, so Kang Hyeon put on his spare armor.

Then he quickly moved behind the creature.

‘I’ll give you extreme pain.’

Kang Hyeon approached the still-laughing creature and pulled out Ogre’s giant hammer.

“Thanks to you, I’ve had my fill of hot saunas for the year. You bastard!”

And he struck down on the toe of the creature stupidly staring at him.

-Pueok!

“Kiaaaaa-!”

The creature’s toe, as thick as an adult’s waist, flattened as if it had been put in a giant compressor.

At the same time, the sharp claw attached to the toe was completely ripped out.

“Hahaha! This is great!?”

Kang Hyeon picked up the ripped-out claw and smiled brightly.

“Kiaaaa!”

Seeing this, Panath’s sanity snapped.

With eyes rolled back in anger, Panath struck down his beak towards Kang Hyeon with all his might.

-Tukwagwagwaga!

The creature struck down its huge beak nearly three times per second.

Each time the beak hit, the ground shook and caved in.

‘If I get hit even once, it’s over.’

That was truly dangerous.

Even Kang Hyeon would be turned into a rag if he got hit.

Kang Hyeon quickly dodged the beak while racking his brain.

‘Where’s the weak point?’

Even Kang Hyeon had never faced an opponent this massive before.

No matter how much he thought, he couldn’t figure out how to attack.

-Tukwang! Kwang!

For a brief moment, there were several close calls where the beak almost struck near Kang Hyeon.

‘I don’t know. Let’s get up there first!’

For now, the important thing was to get out of the range of that beak.

Kang Hyeon, who had been circling around the creature looking for an opportunity, jumped with all his might.

“Magic explosion, magic explosion!”

And then he caused consecutive magic explosions under his feet.

“Uaaaa!”

Kang Hyeon flew quickly into the air at the cost of the pain of his feet being torn apart.

Landing on the creature’s back in one breath, Kang Hyeon grinned.

“Chicken head! Try that again!”

Panath struggled to shake off Kang Hyeon who had climbed onto his back, but it was useless.

Kang Hyeon desperately grasped the creature’s rough fur.

“Bisection!”

Kang Hyeon pulled out his longsword and plunged it deep into the creature.

“Let’s see who wins.”

Kang Hyeon slashed the creature’s body indiscriminately.

It might only be cutting the skin for a creature with such a massive body, but that was enough.

“If I keep digging, something will work out!”

As An Yu-seong said, he wasn’t really the type to think things through.

It was just easier to work it out with his body like this.

“Die, die, die!”

-Pushushshuk!

Blood gushed out from the increasing wounds, forming small valleys.

Panath screamed at the cute pain.

“Uwowoeoo!”

“Keeeee!”

Life began to return to the eyes of the monsters watching this scene.

Because they saw hope, when they had been trembling in fear and about to give up everything.

The monsters ran towards Panath with all their might.

-Pueok, Puk!

-Tududududu!

Panath was truly in a frenzy.

He wanted to deal with the tick-like guy on his back first, but he couldn’t ignore the hundreds of monsters attacking right in front of him.

“Kiaaaa-!”

Finally, Panath made a decision.

He had to roll on the ground!

It hurt his pride, but that wasn’t more precious than his life.

Panath kicked off the ground with all his might and soared.

“Uh, uh? What? Why is this happening!?”

Panath jumped dozens of meters high in one breath.

He then fell straight to the ground.

“Uaaaa!”

Kang Hyeon screamed as he suddenly found himself on an unexpected roller coaster ride.

It was a thrilling ride that could be enjoyed for free, but there was no safety bar here.

In other words, the cost of riding was your life.

-Kwaaang!

As Panath fell to the ground, a thunderous noise rang out along with a cloud of dust.

“Cough! What the hell suddenly…!”

Just as Kang Hyeon was trying to regain his senses, Panath suddenly started rolling on the ground, face down.

“Kiaaaa!”

-Kwagwagwagwang!

Every time the creature rolled, dozens of monsters were crushed and exploded.

If Kang Hyeon got caught under this bulk, it was clear that all the bones in his body would be ground up, turning him into an invertebrate.

“Uaak! Stop it! You crazy bird-brain!”

Finally, Kang Hyeon grabbed onto Panath’s wound.

And he exerted all his strength until the veins in his entire body bulged.

“Keuaa!”

-Jjijiijik

Along with an unpleasant noise, Panath’s flesh started to tear open.

As soon as enough space was created, Kang Hyeon jumped in without hesitation.

‘Ugh, can’t breathe!’

Inside the creature’s skin, Kang Hyeon frowned at the pressure crushing his entire body.

The creature’s muscles, sticky yet slippery, pressed against Kang Hyeon as if they would burst him.

‘What should I do?’

There wasn’t much time left.

Both magic power and physical strength were at their limits.

Outside, Panath was still rolling around.

‘At this point, I’ll keep digging deeper inside.’

Having made up his mind, Kang Hyeon twisted his body and thrust his arm in.

“Magic Explosion!”

As he used the skill, with a ‘Wierd’ sound, the inside of Panath’s muscle opened up widely.

Whether it was Panath tightening in pain or not, the muscles squeezed even tighter.

“Kheuk!”

Kang Hyeon was truly on the brink of death.

Not only had an explosion occurred right in front of his nose, but his entire body was being crushed by the creature’s muscles.

Even for Kang Hyeon, who was used to pain, he couldn’t help but let out a groan.

If it had been any other ability user, they would have died instantly from being crushed by the muscles upon entering the creature’s body.

It was only because Kang Hyeon had overwhelmingly high stamina stats that he could end it with just a groan.

“Magic Explosion!”

Gritting his teeth even harder, Kang Hyeon used Magic Explosion once again.

The impact tore Panath’s muscles to shreds, creating holes.

“This should be enough.”

As soon enough space was created to swing a sword, Kang Hyeon pulled out the Master’s Longsword.

“Huu…”

He steadied his breath to concentrate and guided the remaining magic in his body into the sword.

-Passsss…

Blue magic power started to rise from the sword.

It looked as if blue flames were burning.

Due to Kang Hyeon’s poor condition, he couldn’t control the magic power enough to give it a complete form.

“That’ll do. Let’s go!”

It wasn’t the time to be picky about this and that.

Even this magic power could run out at any moment.

-Seugeok, Seugeok!

Kang Hyeon swung his sword like a madman. Panath’s tough muscles, cut by the sword, were sliced off like tofu.

“Kuaaa!”

Before long, a huge hole was created in front of Kang Hyeon.

Through the hole, Panath’s internal organs could be seen, and a foul smell rose.

Kang Hyeon, completely battered, laughed as if he had gone insane.

“Kheuk… Now it’s time for real fun?”

Without hesitation, Kang Hyeon jumped into the creature’s body.

“Kiaaaa…”

Panath, with a body over 10 meters long, collapsed.

-Kuung!

Blood gushed out like a waterfall from the fallen creature’s mouth.

“Puhaha! I’m alive!”

Kang Hyeon, in a complete mess, came out through that beak.

Fresh air.

Although only a few minutes had passed, he hadn’t realized how much he had missed this refreshing feeling.

“Ugh… I’m dying. Really.”

His body, drained of magic power and reduced to a rag, wasn’t recovering.

“Is it over here?”

Outside was already devastated.

There were countless monster corpses strewn about, and the terrain was completely wrecked.

“I don’t know. Let’s rest for now…”

Kang Hyeon lay down, using Panath’s head as a pillow.

The sky looked particularly blue.

“Nice weather…”

“Brother. Were you here?”

That’s when it happened.

Kang Hyeon’s head turned at the carefree voice coming from beside him.

There was An Yu-seong, looking quite neat, walking towards him.

“What are you doing sitting there?”

“What have you been doing to show up now…?”

“I had a bad feeling, so I dodged right before the breath came out. Ugh, what’s this smell?”

An Yu-seong held his nose at the stench emanating from Kang Hyeon.

Even An Yu-seong, who was always soaked in blood after a fight, was about to have a fit, so it wasn’t hard to guess how serious the smell was.

“Brother. What have you been doing!? It’s worse than a sewer smell.”

“Enough. I don’t have the energy to talk to you. Please, just go away…”

“Hmm…”

Indeed, even to An Yu-seong’s eyes, it was amazing how Kang Hyeon was even alive in this state.

Feeling a bit sorry for Kang Hyeon, An Yu-seong sat down nearby.

“Haa… Shit… My life.”

Lying down, Kang Hyeon muttered weakly.

“What kind of wealth and glory was I trying to achieve by doing this?”

“…”

“I was definitely having fun when I was just filming videos and playing around!”

“Brother. Did you get the magic stone?”

“Yeah.”

Kang Hyeon took out Panath’s magic stone from his inventory.

“Wow, it’s the biggest one we’ve seen so far, right?”

“Yeah. At least this is some consolation.”

There must be somewhere it could be useful.

“Mr. Kang Hyeon. Are you alright?”

“Oh… You’re here?”

Turning his head, he saw Shin Seong-a approaching, looking clean.

“Ugh…”

“Why? Is the smell that bad?”

“It seems to go beyond bad to rather nauseating.”

“…”

Shin Seong-a was someone who couldn’t lie.

“You’re safe too.”

“Of course.”

Yoon Na-rae appeared next.

Fortunately, it seemed she had managed to avoid the chaos well.

“Mr. Kang Hyeon! You’re the best!”

“Please let me join the Badass Guild too!”

“Huh…?”

Then, frivolous voices making a fuss could be heard from somewhere.

Turning his head, he saw the two men who had followed from the dungeon entrance.

“Who are you…”

“We’re fans!”

The eyes of Jeong Jae-seon and Kim Yeon-su, who claimed to be fans, were shining brightly.

“We’ll dedicate our lives to the Badass Guild!”

“Haa…”

Kang Hyeon’s face subtly contorted at the sudden situation.

“You want to join even after seeing this state today?”

“We’re convinced. Mr. Kang Hyeon, you’ll become a legend in the future!”

It was a cheesy thing to say, but it didn’t feel that bad.

“You know the guild entry procedures, right?”

“…”

There was no way they wouldn’t know.

It had caused quite a stir in Korea for a while.

And they didn’t think they could pass that hellish test.

“I, I…!”

Jeong Jae-seon, who had been pondering, suddenly raised his hand.

“I have all types of Kang Hyeon figurines too!”

Hearing this, Kang Hyeon sighed and looked at An Yu-seong.

“An Yu-seong.”

“What?”

“Get rid of those things.”
