I Alone Resurrect Chapter 159
No Longer Human (4)
“Die!”
Kang Hyeon swung his sword with full force.
-He’s no ordinary person. Don’t move without thinking!
Veil, who had been sleeping in the sword, woke up and shouted at Kang Hyeon.
‘I know!’
It’s a narrow and limited space.
Even a small mistake could determine victory or defeat.
Although Kang Hyeon seemed to be charging recklessly, he had finished his calculations.
‘Olien must not get hurt. And the enemy must protect the prince behind him.’
Both Beltio and Kang Hyeon had limited movement and mobility.
As a result, close-quarter combat broke out.
-Kagagaggang!
With each moment their swords clashed, creating an ear splitting noise.
Their hair trembled finely from the magical power spreading with each sword collision.
-He’s stronger than expected. At this level, he’s a top-tier knight of a nation. Move more carefully!
‘What difference does being more careful make!?’
Kang Hyeon, who was fighting directly, felt most keenly how strong the opponent was.
Though the initial surprise kick worked, that was due to the enemy’s carelessness and luck.
Actually experiencing it, the enemy’s swordsmanship was incomparable to his own.
-Consider yourself lucky that a knight can’t show his true skills while protecting his lord.
‘Stop that talk and give me a way to win!’
Even in the brief moment of their exchange, Kang Hyeon’s forearm was cut and bleeding.
Beltio never overdid it, steadily accumulating wounds on Kang Hyeon’s body.
-Currently, holding out seems to be the best option. Wait for support from other companions and push all at once.
‘What nonsense about support!’
It was obvious that guild members would be slaughtered instantly against such an opponent.
Maybe only Ahn Yu-seong could barely hold out.
It was right for him to handle this now before such a situation could occur.
‘This won’t do. I need to move to a wider space. I can’t fight properly here with Olien present.’
-You fool! The same applies to the enemy! Do you think you can hold out against that sharp sword even for a moment if you go outside?!
Veil’s thinking was reasonable.
Currently, Beltio was being careful with every single movement to protect Karl.
Even a slight mistake could result in Karl getting caught up in it.
Kang Hyeon was already being pushed back by Beltio in this state, if they went outside where Beltio could move freely, he might be defeated instantly.
‘Shut up and watch!’
Ignoring Veil’s concerns, Kang Hyeon kicked the ground with full force.

Beltio frowned seeing Kang Hyeon charging.
‘What is this?’
Until now, Kang Hyeon had cleverly induced attacks that would involve Prince Karl.
Thanks to that, Beltio had no choice but to have many restrictions on even the smallest actions.
Clearly fighting under unfavorable conditions.
However, Beltio didn’t think he would lose.
‘His physical abilities are tremendous, but the rest doesn’t support it.’
By Beltio’s standards, Kang Hyeon’s technique wasn’t that impressive.
Except for his robust physique that made one doubt if he was human, there seemed to be nothing to be careful about with Kang Hyeon.
‘Maintain this situation.’
Continuing to increase wounds and accumulate damage on Kang Hyeon’s body would be the safest way to subdue him.
‘What is he thinking?’
At that moment, Kang Hyeon’s movement changed.
‘Is the princess the target?’
It looked like he was trying to leave this room with the princess.
For a brief moment, Beltio contemplated.
‘Should I stop him? Or let him leave?’
The contemplation wasn’t long.
‘The princess is also a member of the royal family. Cannot hand her over to the enemy.’
Beltio moved to block Kang Hyeon.
At that moment, Kang Hyeon, who was running toward Olien, suddenly twisted his body.
Kang Hyeon’s sword approached instantly.
‘Using such a shallow trick. You’re tightening your own noose.’
Though it looked like he had launched his best attack, Beltio wasn’t naive enough to fall for such tricks.
Beltio swung his sword calmly and quickly.
He intended to bisect Kang Hyeon’s body in one breath.
“What!?”
Kang Hyeon, who was swinging his sword, suddenly spread his hands wide.
Beltio could momentarily see the smile on Kang Hyeon’s lips.
“Magic explosion!”
Kang Hyeon detonated a magic sphere right in front of Beltio’s sword-holding hand.
The impact caused Beltio’s arm to spread wide outward.
‘Must prepare for the next attack!’
Since he had surrounded his body with magic power to block it, there was no damage.
When Beltio tried to regain his grip on the sword to swing at Kang Hyeon, Kang Hyeon wasn’t there.
“Sir Beltio!”
“Your Highness!”
Quickly turning his gaze, he saw Kang Hyeon trying to grab Karl.
‘No!’
In less than a second, everything would be decided.
‘The prince must not be taken hostage.’
If that happened, everything would be over.
Beltio quickly rushed toward Kang Hyeon.
‘The moment he grabs the prince. I’ll slash his neck in that gap!’
Though Karl might also be harmed if he wasn’t careful, Beltio was confident in his skills.
“No!”
But this time too, Beltio’s prediction went wrong.
“See you down below.”
Kang Hyeon, who had snatched Karl, jumped straight out the hotel window.

-Crash!
The place Kang Hyeon jumped from was the top floor of a hotel hundreds of meters high.
For an ordinary person, it would have been suicide, but it wasn’t a problem for Kang Hyeon.
“Kuaaaaaah!”
Karl Heysers screamed his throat raw.
“Shut up! Know that I won’t let you off easy!”
Kang Hyeon headbutted Karl.
“Kuhek!”
Instantly Karl’s nose broke and blood streamed down.
‘Need to reduce falling speed.’
Even for Kang Hyeon, he couldn’t crash into bare ground while holding a person from this height.
Kang Hyeon surrounded his hand with magic power and stabbed it into the building’s outer wall.
-Kagagagagak!
As cement fell away, Kang Hyeon’s falling speed began to decrease.
“You bastard! Hand over the Prince!”
At that moment, a thunderous shout came from above.
Kang Hyeon looked up and was startled.
“Is that even possible!?”
Beltio was running down the exterior wall of the building at an incredible speed.
Something that would be criticized as unrealistic even in movies was happening in reality.
-Move! At this rate, he’ll catch up!
“I know!”
As Kang Hyeon tried to pull his hand out of the building to increase his falling speed, Beltio, who had approached in that moment, was faster in swinging his sword.
“Won’t you hand over the Prince!”
Kang Hyeon barely blocked it with his sword in one hand.
-Clang!
Although he successfully blocked the attack, the impact threw Kang Hyeon off balance.
Kang Hyeon and Karl began falling while spinning in the air.
“Aaaargh! Beltioooo!”
“Damn it! Aerial combat wasn’t in my cards!”
Cursing, Kang Hyeon twisted his body to regain balance.
“I won’t let you escape!”
Beltio persistently followed and swung his sword at Kang Hyeon.
‘What’s he thinking swinging like that recklessly when the prince could die!?’
-That shows how confident he is in his skills. More importantly, focus! The ground is approaching!
The distance to the ground was rapidly decreasing.
He could see the shocked faces of people walking in front of the hotel.
“Magic explosion!”
Kang Hyeon created a magic explosion in mid-air and landed in an empty space.
“What? Someone fell from the sky!?”
“Isn’t that Kang Hyeon?”
“Looks like a fight broke out?”
Despite the sound of an explosion, people gathered closer instead of backing away.
“Everyone step back! You might get hurt…”
Kang Hyeon’s words were drowned out by Beltio’s angry shout.
“You bastard!!! Release the Prince!”
Beltio charged forward with a fierce expression and a blood-stained sword.
The street instantly turned into chaos.
“Kyaaaaaah-!”
“Everyone get out of the way! This safety ignorance is ridiculous!”
Kang Hyeon frowned and grabbed Karl’s neck.
“Stop! That’s far enough.”
Karl groaned in pain as his throat was squeezed.
“Kuhek, kuk!”
Seeing this, Beltio stopped.
“Using such a despicable method…”
“Winners take all.”
“Stop right now.”
“And if I don’t?”
“The moment he dies…”
A murderous glint appeared in Beltio’s eyes.
“I’ll cut off all the limbs of you, your companions, and even your family members. I swear on my honor.”
Kang Hyeon grinned at Beltio’s words.
“Oh really? Do as you please.”
“What…?”
Kang Hyeon slammed Karl’s face into the ground.
-Kwang!
Instantly, Karl’s face was scratched, bleeding, and completely battered.
“You bastaaaaard-!”
Beltio, his eyes rolled back, charged forward like a madman.
Kang Hyeon continued to step on Karl’s head slowly.
“Won’t you stop!”
“Come and make me stop. You bastard!”
Kang Hyeon smiled fiercely and charged towards Beltio.
-Sigh, what a fool… He could have handled this easily using the hostage! He’s always like this until the end.
Veil sighed at Kang Hyeon’s actions.
‘What’s wrong with that? If you look carefully, these guys who talk about honor are even worse. Is living like that fun?’
-I’m saying this for your own good! And who are you to talk about chivalry!
‘Whatever, I’ll handle this my way. After I take down this swordsman, I’ll torture that so-called prince slowly. Thoroughly.’
-Your premise of beating a knight is wrong from the start.
‘Shut up.’
Kang Hyeon and Beltio got closer in real-time.
Neither Beltio nor Kang Hyeon reduced their speed.
As both charged at full speed and were about to clash swords,
-Clang!
People suddenly appeared and blocked both their swords.
“Brother Dong-woo?”
Choi Dong-woo who blocked Kang Hyeon.
“Who are you… Get out of my way immediately!”
Han Se-yeon who blocked Beltio.
“Everyone stop. Move and we’ll fire immediately.”
And Shin Tae-gil who arrived leading dozens of ability users armed with firearms.

“Mr. Kang Hyeon. Mr. Beltio. Both of you stop. Otherwise, you’ll die.”
Dozens of men in black suits and sunglasses were pointing guns right at their faces.
“You think I’m afraid! I must save the Prince…”
At that moment, Shin Tae-gil fired his gun right in front of Karl’s face.
-Ratatatatatang!
“I don’t know about you, but this person will definitely die.”
The bullets instantly shattered the pavement blocks.
Seeing that power, Beltio groaned and looked around.
‘Dozens of people with such weapons…’
There was absolutely no way out.
Even if he might survive, Karl would certainly die.
“Haah…”
Beltio sighed and sheathed his sword.
“Mr. Kang Hyeon, let’s stop here as well.”
“I was planning to.”
Kang Hyeon also knew the situation was now out of his hands.
Kang Hyeon retrieved Bilgein’s Longsword without hesitation.
“Whew… What made you cause such an incident?”
“Well, should I just watch while Olien gets beaten?”
“Yes, you should have just watched.”
“What!?”
“This is strictly a matter between them. Honestly speaking, why should we intervene in affairs from another dimension, let alone another country? And no matter how angry you were, how could you cause such chaos in the middle of the city?”
“Ah… I’m sorry about that. It wasn’t time to think about various things.”
Kang Hyeon scratched his head and frowned again.
“That’s not what’s important! Ignoring it because it’s another country’s affair? That’s not right!”
“Why not… If only you had held back, no, if you had been just a little more careful, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.”
“What kind of guild master watches their guild member getting beaten? What if Olien dies while we’re being ‘careful’? Will you take responsibility, Mr. Shin Tae-gil?”
“Since when was Olien a guild member…”
“Since an hour ago?”
Shin Tae-gil sighed at Kang Hyeon’s words.
“Haah… Fine. We’ll talk about what to do next tomorrow.”
Although Kang Hyeon was dissatisfied with this decision, he had to nod since he was also at fault.
