I Alone Resurrect Chapter 158

No Longer Human (3)

“Thank you for your help!”

Kang Hyeon waved to Choi Si-hyeon who had guided him.

“It’s nothing. If you don’t mind…”

Choi Si-hyeon tried to suggest meeting again, but Kang Hyeon had already left in an instant.

“He must be very busy…”

Watching Kang Hyeon’s retreating figure, Choi Si-hyeon scratched her head unnecessarily.

Kang Hyeon dashed through the city at incredible speed.

Arriving at the guild office much faster than if he had taken the subway, Kang Hyeon found Ahn Yu-seong waiting.

Ahn Yu-seong raised his hand in greeting when he saw Kang Hyeon.

“You’re here?”

“‘You’re here?’ How can you be so casual right now!?”

Kang Hyeon shouted angrily.

“Where’s Olien?”

“At a hotel nearby.”

“Let’s go right now!”

As Kang Hyeon was about to leave the office immediately, he spotted someone.

It was Garnet, who was staring blankly into space like someone completely lost.

“Hey! Garnet!”

Garnet turned his head at Kang Hyeon’s voice.

“…”

Garnet stared at Kang Hyeon with unfocused eyes.

“What are you doing now? Aren’t you Olien’s knight? You boasted about never leaving her side.”

At Kang Hyeon’s words, Garnet hung her head low.

“There’s nothing I can do. She is royalty. It’s not my place to intervene, being so lowly…”

“Another frustrating guy. Come with me!”

Kang Hyeon grabbed Garnet’s arm.

“W-wait! I can’t go…”

“Enough. Shut up and follow me!”

Kang Hyeon dragged Garnet along without hesitation.

Although Garnet resisted at first, she soon lowered her head and followed behind Kang Hyeon.

“Where is Olien?”

“At the Langmit Hotel.”

It was about a 30-minute walk from the guild office.

If Kang Hyeon ran at full speed, he could get there within 5 minutes.

“Let’s go!”

Kang Hyeon hurried out of the office and stepped outside the building.

“What’s this?”

Kang Hyeon had planned to run straight to the hotel but had to stop.

Hundreds of guild members were blocking the building entrance.

It seemed like almost all the combat members of the guild had gathered.

“Guild Master. We’ll come with you.”

“Why you all?”

“We saw that Karl guy or whatever today. He was really disrespectful.”

“Who dares to mess with our Olien!?”

They had all been waiting to join Kang Hyeon.

“Olien is our guild’s mascot!”

“Right. Anyone who messes with Olien needs their spine bent 360 degrees!”

Olien hadn’t stayed at the guild for very long.

But she always smiled and greeted all guild members kindly.

Even though it was a short time, that pure smile gave strength and comfort to everyone.

“Olien is more important than the Guild Master, how could we just stand by?”

“Just do the first verse, you bastards!”

Kang Hyeon snapped at the guild members’ words.

“Kang Hyeon. All guild members have agreed. We will contribute what little strength we have.”

Shin Seong-ah, representing the guild members, said.

“Huh…”

Kang Hyeon sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

“Do what you want. Just don’t get in the way.”

Though he grumbled, there was a deep smile on Kang Hyeon’s face.

“Tsk tsk. Guild Master, don’t be a hindrance.”

“Whoever just said that, come out.”

No one dared to step forward.

In front of Karl Heysers’s hotel room.

Two royal knights stood like statues.

“Hmm… I think someone’s coming.”

Beltio, the senior knight, frowned.

“Seems like quite a large number.”

Avolf, also a member of the royal knights, nodded.

“They don’t seem friendly.”

Soon after, they could identify who was approaching.

“Garnet… And those mercenary members from earlier today.”

Their fierce expressions suggested they weren’t here for a casual tea.

‘Ah… It’s because of Princess Olien…’

They didn’t need to ask why they were here in the middle of the night.

‘I thought something big would happen eventually… But to think it would happen in a foreign country like this.’

Beltio was well aware of what was happening inside the room.

But Beltio was loyal to the royal family. His orders were to assist Karl Heysers.

Beltio would carry out that order as long as he lived.

“Stop. You cannot pass.”

Beltio stepped forward to block Kang Hyeon’s group.

Kang Hyeon took a step forward and glared at Beltio.

“Olien. Is she inside?”

“I have no obligation to answer.”

“Move.”

“The Prince has strictly ordered that no one be allowed in. If you have business, come back tomorrow.”

“I said move.”

Thick veins began to bulge on Kang Hyeon’s face.

“I warn you one last time. Turn back.”

Beltio, his face equally hardened, stared directly at Kang Hyeon.

“Move, you bastard!”

In that instant, Kang Hyeon’s side kick struck.

Beltio quickly raised his arms to block the attack.

“Kuhek!”

However, Kang Hyeon’s strength far exceeded Beltio’s expectations.

Beltio was sent flying dozens of meters, crashing into the hotel wall.

Avolf, who was beside him, drew his sword in surprise, but Ahn Yu-seong blocked his path.

“What the hell is going on!”

At that moment, Karl’s irritated voice was heard from inside the room.

Kang Hyeon smashed the door with his fist and burst inside.

“It’s me! You son of a bitch!”

Shouting, Kang Hyeon rushed straight at Karl.

Karl fell back on his bottom in shock.

“Aaaah! Guards! No, Sir Beltio! Where has everyone gone!”

Kang Hyeon turned his attention to Olien, ignoring Karl’s commotion.

“Olien, are you okay?”

Despite Kang Hyeon’s arrival, Olien couldn’t say a word.

She just knelt there with eyes that had given up everything.

“Olien! I asked if you’re okay!”

When Kang Hyeon asked loudly, Olien slowly raised her head.

“Ah…”

A face full of injuries.

Her snow-white skin had turned bluish in places from bruises.

“Consider everyone dead.”

Kang Hyeon’s face twisted like a demon with rage.

Kang Hyeon reached out toward Karl.

“Sir Beltio! Sir Avolf! Where has everyone gone!”

“You’ll find out where your lackeys are when you get to hell.”

Just before Kang Hyeon’s hand reached Karl,

“Hup!”

Kang Hyeon quickly jumped back.

A sword barely missed him, cutting his collar.

“Huff… My apologies, Your Highness.”

Beltio had suddenly appeared to block Karl.

“Sir Beltio! Where have you been! I almost met with great misfortune from that ruffian!”

“I apologize. I will gladly accept punishment for failing to carry out your orders after dealing with these intruders.”

“Huff… Behead him right now! Right now!”

Karl’s face turned red as he pointed at Kang Hyeon and shouted.

Beltio adjusted his stance and glared at Kang Hyeon.

“Are you the leader of that mercenary group?”

“What if I am?”

“Withdraw immediately. If you retreat now, I’ll at least spare your life.”

Beltio assessed the situation coolly.

‘If I can’t take him down in one strike, the Prince will be in danger.’

Hundreds of enemies were waiting outside.

If they delayed even slightly, the Prince could be in danger.

Prioritizing the Prince’s safety, Beltio tried to resolve the situation through dialogue rather than blindly wielding his sword.

“Sir Beltio! What nonsense is this!? I ordered you to behead him right now!”

“I apologize. Everything is for Your Highness’s safety.”

“You’re defying my orders…!”

“Your Highness!!!”

Suddenly Beltio shouted.

“I will accept any punishment after this incident is resolved. Please trust me for now.”

At Beltio’s thundering voice, Karl stepped back hesitantly.

“You’d better be prepared if you don’t handle this properly!”

Karl turned his back, snorting as if barely containing himself.

Watching this, Kang Hyeon sneered.

“Look at him shitting himself. Is this some musical?”

“Show some respect. Though this is a foreign land, he is royalty of the Heigran Kingdom.”

“That’s none of my business. Just tell that pervert bastard not to expect to die peacefully.”

Kang Hyeon said with a fierce smile.

“Huff… Though this is your land, this is clearly an internal matter of another country. It’s not for you to interfere. Calm down and withdraw.”

“Calm down? After seeing this? Are you joking?”

Kang Hyeon’s eyes gleamed dangerously.

-Kill him!

Just then, the sound of battle erupted from outside.

“Oh no, Avolf! I told him not to swing his sword recklessly!”

As Beltio showed signs of panic.

Kang Hyeon charged forward as if he’d been waiting for this moment.

“Die!”

“No one can enter this place.”

The knight Avolf, who drew his sword, glared at Ahn Yu-seong and the guild members.

‘Since Lord Beltio has entered, the inside should be fine.’

His current task is to prevent any more enemies from passing through the door.

Although there are hundreds of enemies before him, he is the finest knight protecting the royal family.

‘The final sword protecting the royal family.’

The Royal Knights Order is a place only those who have reached their peak in both body and technique can enter.

No matter how many enemies there are, it was merely a small obstacle.

“I don’t want to see unnecessary bloodshed. Please step aside.”

Shin Seong-ah stepped forward and spoke.

“Unless I die, no one can pass through here.”

Avolf’s firm words.

Shin Seong-ah looked at Ahn Yu-seong.

“Mr. Ahn Yu-seong. What would you like to do?”

“Can I make the decision?”

“Right now seems to be the time when we need Mr. Ahn Yu-seong’s initiative.”

Shin Seong-ah’s intentions were clear.

“Ah, just in case I should mention this. Don’t worry, I’ll share the responsibility with you.”

At Shin Seong-ah’s words, Ahn Yu-seong grinned.

“That’s fine.”

Drawing his mace, Ahn Yu-seong glanced back at the guild members.

Then he started running without saying a word.

“Uaaah! Kill him!”

As if that was the signal, all guild members rushed into the narrow corridor like a flood.

‘This is…!’

Avolf was caught off guard, not expecting them to charge in all at once so recklessly.

‘Get it together! You have to block them somehow.’

Avolf quickly assessed the situation.

‘The corridor is narrow. No matter how many there are, I can block them sufficiently.’

A passage about 5m wide.

Though it was too much space for one person to block, he had to do it.

So Avolf swung his sword at Ahn Yu-seong, who was running at the front.

‘First, one!’

He needed to take them down one by one with each sword swing.

Otherwise, he couldn’t handle these numbers.

-Kaang!

Avolf’s plan went wrong from the start.

‘He’s no ordinary person!’

Although he had seen him training during the day, he didn’t know he would be this good.

At that moment, numerous guild members approached and swung their weapons at him.

“Kill him! Push forward!”

“Crush him with sheer force!”

Avolf frantically swung his sword.

‘Anyway, the number of enemies that can attack at once is limited. I’ll make their movements tangle with each other and finish them in one go!’

There are many penalties when multiple people attack in a narrow space.

No matter how aggressively they come, they can’t ignore that fact.

“Kuh, kuhek! Wait!”

However, Avolf’s prediction crumbled again.

‘These crazy bastards!’

The enemies showed absolutely no regard for their own lives.

Even if a sword came at them, as long as it wasn’t a fatal blow, they kept charging while taking the hits.

‘As humans, they can’t be without fear of death and pain…!’

They seemed to have no pain or fear, as if they were drunk on something.

“Get him!”

“Don’t let him do anything!”

The guild members who approached Avolf pressed down on him with their entire bodies.

“Kuaaah!”

No matter how excellent a swordsman is, they need space to swing their sword.

As dozens, hundreds of people pressed down on him until he couldn’t move a finger, Avolf was going crazy.

‘Damn. I should have gone all out from the start!’

The problem was thinking he could subdue them without using lethal techniques at the beginning.

Of course, there were plenty of chances to make up for it afterward, but he missed even those opportunities, confused by his repeatedly failing predictions.

‘If I could just move again somehow…!’

Even though he thought he needed to break free by any means necessary now, it seemed too late to turn things around.

‘Damn…’

His vision was filled with the mace covered in countless bloodstains.
