Solo Resurrection

Chapter 74

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.

“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...”
