I Alone Resurrect Chapter 139

The Resistor of the Dueling Arena (2)

“Waaah!!”

Most of the 10,000-seat arena was filled.

The roaring cheers were so loud, it felt like they could bring down the arena, making one’s ears ache.

“Kill him!”

“Kang Hyeon! I bet on you! Don’t you dare lose!”

“Reagan! Don’t disappoint us this time!”

The entire black market had become deserted as people rushed out at once.

The two men stood at the center of this cauldron of excitement.

Although it would have been natural to be nervous, Kang Hyeon appeared relaxed.

Facing such a Kang Hyeon, Reagan took a deep breath.

“Phew…”

Even for Reagan, who had grown up in arenas, this was the first time seeing such a crowd.

He finally realized the value of Kang Hyeon’s name, but it was too late to turn back now.

“Nervous?”

At Kang Hyeon’s question, Reagan’s expression hardened.

“Not at all.”

“Let me ask you one thing before we start.”

“What is it?”

“How many have you killed so far?”

At Kang Hyeon’s question, Reagan smiled fiercely.

“Do you remember the number of monsters you’ve killed so far?”

Kang Hyeon also smiled at Reagan’s answer.

“Right. That’s enough.”

As the two were conversing, the announcer standing on a high platform raised his microphone.

“Ladies and gentlemen who have come to our arena today! Welcome, everyone!”

The announcer introduced Kang Hyeon and Reagan in a booming voice.

As the atmosphere gradually intensified, reaching its peak.

“A brutal duel where blood will splatter and bones will break! It begins now!”

“Waaaaaah!”

The duel began.

As soon as the duel started, Reagan rushed forward.

‘If this drags on, I’ll be at a disadvantage with my lower stats.’

Kang Hyeon was standing there casually.

It was obvious at a glance that he was being careless.

There was no need to drag this out; it had to end quickly.

“Hup!”

Reagan’s specialty was his dazzling dual-sword technique using two swords.

And his lethal poison.

The extreme poison applied to his swords would rot the skin and stiffen the muscles with just a graze.

“Die!”

Reagan swung his swords at high speed towards the arrogant opponent who wasn’t even wearing armor.

Kang Hyeon drew out Bilgein’s longsword to block Reagan’s swords.

The red sword and the green dual swords clashed, creating a sharp noise.

“Waaaaaah!”

The people watching the two clash rapidly were in a frenzy.

‘His swordsmanship is better than I thought. But how about this?’

Seeing Kang Hyeon blocking his swords more easily than expected, Reagan made his next move.

-Swish!

Reagan suddenly moved his feet quickly, raising a cloud of dust.

At the same time, he scattered a trap item from his chest onto the ground.

Name: Explosion Pouch

Grade: D

Durability: 1/1

Description: A trap made by Reagan. It explodes with even a slight impact.

Ability: Causes an explosion when impacted.

A simple but effective item.

Reagan quickly scattered it around Kang Hyeon and retreated.

People cursed Reagan’s fighting style as petty, but Reagan didn’t care.

There were no fouls in this duel.

‘Fair and square? Give that to the dogs.’

The victor is justice, and the survivor takes all.

That’s the kind of duel this was from the start.

“Hm?”

Just as Kang Hyeon noticed something was off.

-Boom!

A tremendous explosion occurred around Kang Hyeon.

Reagan didn’t stop there.

“Hah!”

He threw daggers coated with extreme poison towards Kang Hyeon relentlessly.

‘I won’t give even a sliver of a chance!’

Although Kang Hyeon was hidden by the dust cloud, it didn’t matter.

He could sufficiently determine his position by sensing the opponent’s magical power.

Since Kang Hyeon wasn’t wearing armor, a hit anywhere would be fatal.

-Whoosh…

A moment later.

As the wind blew away the dust, Kang Hyeon finally revealed himself.

“Hmm!?”

Reagan thought this attack would kill Kang Hyeon.

No, at the very least, he thought it would severely injure him.

However, Kang Hyeon was standing there as if nothing had happened.

‘Is it just bravado… Surely there must be some damage.’

His clothes were torn, burned, and blood was flowing from cuts all over his skin.

‘At the very least, the poison must have taken effect.’

Reagan had no intention of missing this opportunity.

“It’s over!”

Reagan rushed forward quickly and swung both swords simultaneously.

He thought this attack would sever Kang Hyeon’s neck in one go.

That’s what he thought.

Until those swords were caught in Kang Hyeon’s palm.

‘How is this possible!?’

Reagan’s face was filled with shock.

His swords were not only coated with poison but also imbued with sharp magical power.

A strike that could cut through even steel.

Yet Kang Hyeon was holding it with his bare hands.

“You! What have you done!?”

Kang Hyeon grinned at Reagan’s words.

“Is that all you can do?”

“What…?”

“I was curious to see what the arena ace could do. But it’s nothing special.”

Kang Hyeon slowly pulled the sword while gripping the blade.

Blood was flowing from his hand where the blade had cut in, but he didn’t seem to care at all.

‘What strength…!’

He was sure he had a firm grip on the sword’s handle.

Yet he couldn’t resist Kang Hyeon pulling the blade while gripping it.

Reagan, who lost his swords to the monstrous strength, quickly retreated.

‘He has resistance to poison.’

It was a sight that could drive one mad, but Reagan tried to think as calmly as possible.

‘His physical durability is at least that of decent armor. His strength must be at least that of an ogre.’

It was an unreasonable physical spec.

Reagan wanted to scream at this irrationality, but he desperately held it in.

‘I’ve faced countless enemies stronger than me before. But the one who survived was me. Reagan.’

Maintain composure in any situation.

If you follow this rule, an opportunity will surely come.

-Clang!

Reagan drew another sword from his inventory and took his stance.

“If you’re ready, here I come.”

Seeing Reagan like this, Kang Hyeon smiled wickedly and dashed forward.

Choi Si-hyeon, watching the match, couldn’t shake off the tension.

“He won’t lose, right…”

He had already informed Kang Hyeon about Reagan’s fighting style.

-He’s a crafty one.

-That’s why you need to be more careful. Even if Kang Hyeon is strong, he could die in a moment of carelessness.

-I told you not to worry.

Despite hearing his words, Kang Hyeon seemed relaxed.

Choi Si-hyeon knew Kang Hyeon was strong, but wondered if he was being too carefree.

After all, many strong fighters who had died in the arena had all looked relaxed before their fights.

Moreover, she had never seen Kang Hyeon fight.

She had only heard that he was strong.

On the other hand, Reagan was a proven fighter.

She had seen him slaughter many ability users here countless times.

Most of them weren’t very strong ability users, but some were strong enough that even Choi Si-hyeon couldn’t guarantee victory against them.

Reagan had defeated such opponents by any means necessary.

‘Please don’t lose… If only half the rumors were true!’

It was the desperate prayer of a gambler who had bet all his money on Kang Hyeon.

-Boom!

That’s when it happened.

A tremendous explosion occurred around Kang Hyeon.

It was one of Reagan’s items that he had warned about earlier.

Reagan’s relentless attacks continued after that.

“Surely he’s not going to die…?”

It was nearly impossible to survive such attacks.

Even if he survived, he would surely be half-dead.

“Waaaaaah!”

A moment later.

A roar that seemed to shake the arena erupted, and Kang Hyeon was seen standing there calmly.

“Phew… Thank goodness.”

Fortunately, it seemed the rumors weren’t completely false.

“But he can’t beat Reagan with just endurance alone.”

In the end, to win, one must attack the opponent.

Just taking hits like this won’t accomplish anything.

“Waaah!”

Then another roar erupted, and Kang Hyeon started to move.

“What!?”

For a moment, Choi Si-hyeon doubted her eyes.

The moment she felt Kang Hyeon move, he was already gripping Reagan’s collar.

“How is he so fast…?”

If it was like this for her watching from afar, Reagan probably couldn’t even see the movement.

Sure enough, Reagan’s startled cry was heard.

“Let go of this!”

“Alright. I’ll let go.”

Kang Hyeon, who was gripping Reagan’s collar, slammed him to the ground.

“Kuhak!”

With a thud, Reagan, smashed into the ground, coughed up blood.

“That’s it! Now that’s exciting!”

“Waaaaaah! More! Attack more!”

The audience’s shouts hit her ears, but Choi Si-hyeon was completely absorbed in the fight.

“It shouldn’t end so soon, right?”

Kang Hyeon forcibly lifted Reagan and slapped his cheek.

-Smack!

The crisp sound of impact reached Choi Si-hyeon’s seat, piercing through the audience’s cheers.

With that single attack, Reagan spat out a mouthful of blood-soaked red teeth.

-Smack! Smack!

Kang Hyeon’s attacks didn’t end with just one.

Every time Kang Hyeon’s hand swung, the impact sound pierced Choi Si-hyeon’s body.

“Kuhak, kuk…”

Soon after, Reagan lost consciousness, and Kang Hyeon threw his limp body.

“Kill him! Kill him!”

“What are you doing? End it now!”

In the arena, defeat meant death.

Reagan too had killed countless innocent people like this.

“Kill him! You bastard!”

When Kang Hyeon didn’t finish him off, the audience became extremely excited.

The cries of ten thousand people.

Kang Hyeon stood alone amidst it all.

‘Is he smiling?’

Choi Si-hyeon could see it.

Kang Hyeon was smiling under all that pressure.

After looking around at the audience, Kang Hyeon suddenly raised both hands.

And then he forcefully raised his middle fingers.

“Fuck you! Eat shit! You bastards!”

With those words, Kang Hyeon left the arena.

“What are you doing!? Kill him right now!”

“Do you know how much money I bet!?”

Trash flew from all directions.

Not just food, but even blades came flying.

Kang Hyeon entered calmly, taking it all in stride.

“This feels quite refreshing.”

As he entered the waiting room, he saw Choi Si-hyeon waiting for him.

“Why did you do that?”

“Do what?”

“Why didn’t you kill Reagan? That’s the unspoken rule of this arena.”

Kang Hyeon smirked at Choi Si-hyeon’s question.

“Just because. I didn’t feel like it.”

It wasn’t that he was suddenly trying to respect life or anything.

Kang Hyeon had already been through countless battles and taken many lives.

That included other humans as well.

Moreover, the guy was a criminal with serious offenses. He was even a murderer.

“Don’t you find them disgusting?”

“Pardon…?”

Choi Si-hyeon was taken aback by Kang Hyeon’s sudden question.

“Those guys sitting in the audience, snickering while watching others die. Aren’t they disgusting? Who are they to give orders? Bunch of trash.”

Choi Si-hyeon was confused about how to respond.

‘He really does live however he wants…

Only then did she realize that the rumors about Kang Hyeon weren’t exaggerated, but rather understated.

This guy is truly out of his mind.

“Even if you don’t do it, Reagan will die anyway.”

“I don’t care. Let those criminal bastards stab each other to death if they want.”

“…”

“Anyway, let’s go collect my winnings. I bet about 300 million, wonder how much I won?”

“With that amount, you’ll probably get about 150 million. Your odds weren’t that high.”

“Is that so?”

Kang Hyeon replied, looking at Choi Si-hyeon with a subtle gaze.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“How much did you bet?”

“W-What! I didn’t bet anything!”

Choi Si-hyeon desperately tried to explain, but it was already too late.

“Tell me the truth. Otherwise, I’ll show you what real chaos looks like. If I cause trouble, it’ll affect you too as my guarantor, right?”

Even with what had happened so far, she’d have to deal with paperwork all day.

Kang Hyeon couldn’t cause any more incidents.

“Haa… 300 million.”

“Tsk, I didn’t think you were so small-minded.”

“I bet 500 million. I put in all the money I had.”

Kang Hyeon didn’t drop his suspicious gaze.

“If you lie, your head… No, you’ll regret it.”

“Alright! 1 billion! I bet 1 billion. Happy now!?”

“I have the ability to detect lies, and that’s a lie.”

For a moment, Choi Si-hyeon was flustered, but fortunately, she didn’t show it.

“Hmph, there’s no such ability.”

“It’s true. If you keep this up, I might have to come to the black market every day.”

“Haa… 1.2 billion.”

“Let’s see, with 1.2 billion, you’ll get at least 500 million, right? I don’t need much, just give me 200 million. I need to spend some money on a skill book today.”

“You’re talking like it’s your money to keep.”

“You made easy money because of me, so you can give me that much, right?”

Finally, Choi Si-hyeon surrendered.

“Fine. I’ll give it to you, so please just go now.”

She just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

“Oh! This is quite a haul after a long time!”

Kang Hyeon beamed with a big smile after receiving his winnings and additional money from Choi Si-hyeon.

“Alright, let’s go now.”

After returning to the Villain Beer through the portal, Choi Si-hyeon sighed and sat down on a chair, her tension finally easing.

“Since we’re connected now, let’s go eat some beef. We can have a beer too.”

“Are you hitting on me now?”

“What? No! If you don’t want to, forget it! I’ll go eat alone.”

Kang Hyeon went down the stairs without looking back.

Choi Si-hyeon hurriedly came down to the first floor, but there was only a bartender washing dishes.

“Where’s Kang Hyeon?”

“He left.”

“I thought he’d at least ask once more out of courtesy…”

“He was muttering something about beef and singing, looking very excited.”

Choi Si-hyeon let out a dry laugh at the bartender’s words.

“He really is crazy. Haha…”

Choi Si-hyeon hoped she would never meet Kang Hyeon again, but

‘Maybe once wouldn’t be so bad…?’

Somehow, she thought it might be okay to meet him just once.
