I Alone Resurrect Chapter 229
American Necromancer (4)
Yoon Na-rae’s life-risking chase fortunately ended with a happy ending.
This was because they had inadvertently caught the target they had aimed for today.
The mutant Partan.
After hearing from Choi Si-hyeon that this was indeed the monster they were targeting, Kang Hyeon smiled contentedly.
“As expected, the condition was good, catching it right away like this!”
Normally, Yoon Na-rae would have shouted something like ‘Recognize that it was thanks to me!’
But this time, she kept her mouth firmly shut.
‘Today, I’ll be a bit more sensible…’
Even for Na-rae, she didn’t want to play around risking her life.
And so, carrying the corpse of the targeted mutant Partan.
The group returned to Ariana Ward’s cabin.
Ariana Ward was in the midst of her work.
When she heard the cabin door opening, she chuckled to herself.
‘Did they give up already?’
Checking her watch, she saw that about five hours had passed since Kang Hyeon’s group left.
Searching this vast area during that time would have been impossible.
She probably thought they had given up on searching as the sun began to set and returned to gather more information.
“We caught that thing.”
“Huh? What did you say?”
“I said we caught it.”
Ariana Ward turned around, startled by Kang Hyeon’s words.
“Eeeeek!”
Yoon Na-rae threw the Partan’s corpse onto the floor with a grunt.
“Huk, huk…”
“What? Is this real!? How did you catch it so quickly?”
“Because I’m quite an extraordinary person.”
Kang Hyeon said with a sly smile.
‘I had heard he was a famous ability user from Choi Si-hyeon… But this much!?’
A B+ grade soul stone.
A magic stone of a dragon species that she had never even heard of before.
And on top of that, powerful combat ability.
She had naturally thought he was an extraordinary ability user, but she never expected him to catch the target so quickly.
‘Is he really that amazing…?’
These days, in places with internet access, it was hard to find someone who didn’t know Kang Hyeon.
However, Ariana Ward was so absorbed in her undead research that she was somewhat unfamiliar with such obvious information.
“But where are the head and the magic stone?”
“I’ve separately kept the magic stone, but there’s no head. It was destroyed.”
“Oh… That’s okay. It would have been better with the head, but it’s not a problem.”
“Do you have a use for it?”
“Originally, I was planning to use existing bones to create something, not expecting to catch it so quickly.”
Ariana Ward gazed intently at Partan’s corpse on the floor for a moment.
She continued, “But with this specimen, things are different. I’ll need to confirm the details, but I can probably create an even better result than before.”
“Definitely. That guy was quite tough.”
Kang Hyeon had become even stronger recently.
It was hard to find anyone who could withstand even a single one of his attacks.
Yet the mutant Partan had accomplished that difficult feat.
Although its size was around 3m, categorizing it as medium-sized.
It clearly seemed to have quite good physical durability.
“Just wait a bit. I’ll probably be done before sunrise tomorrow.”
“It’s ending earlier than expected?”
“It’s because the materials are too good. They’re so exceptional that I can almost throw them in by intuition without complex calculations, which makes it easier.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you.”
“Yes. Now that you’re in the way, could you please leave?”
Ariana Ward waved her hand, focusing on the corpse and magic stone.
Kang Hyeon chuckled and left the room to let her concentrate.

“It’s done!”
I’ve finally completed all the preparations.
Now, all that’s left is to transfer the spirit of Veil using magic.
“Hehe… This is going to be the ultimate undead!”
Ariana Ward drooled while looking at the completed body of Veil.
“Ah, if only my skills were better, I could have created even better work! It’s a shame. Such a shame!”
Even the current result was undoubtedly the best undead she had ever created.
Naturally, this was because the materials were exceptional.
But because of that, she felt even more disappointed.
If her skills were more superior, she could have produced an even better result with these materials.
“Can’t be helped. For now, I’ll have to be satisfied with this.”
Ariana Ward let out a sigh and crouched down on the floor.
Then she embraced the completed pile of bones with all her might.
“Oh, my pretty thing! How can I give this to someone else? Should I just run away with it?”
“That’s not possible.”
“Kyaak! When did you get here!?”
“I came because you said it was finished…”
Kang Hyeon looked at the completed body of the Veil.
“It just looks like a skeleton bone. What’s so good about it?”
“How can you say something so disrespectful!”
Ariana Ward frowned and glared at Kang Hyeon.
“This is a masterpiece that goes beyond conventional wisdom! Normally, humans have 206 bones, but the bones here are 283! Additionally, 82 extra bones that serve as armor have been added. The bones in the chest are primarily meant to protect the magic stone located in the heart…”
“Forget the complicated explanation. So this is good?”
“It’s more than just good!”
“But why isn’t it moving? Hey, Veil. Can you hear me?”
Kang Hyeon raised his hand and tapped the skull.
“The process of transferring the spirit is still left. It will be finished soon, so don’t worry.”
Ariana Ward placed Bilgein’s longsword and the completed skeleton side by side.
“I need to concentrate now, so be quiet.”
Kang Hyeon stepped back silently and nodded.
“Whew…”
With her slow exhale, magical power began to slowly flow from her body.
Simultaneously, the magic circle drawn on the floor emitted a light with a booming sound.
‘Where did she learn something like this?’
The skill Ariana Ward was using didn’t seem to be a simple skill.
Most skills required calling out the skill name when used.
‘Though there are some exceptional skills…’
Kang Hyeon shook his head while pondering.
‘Nevermind. What does it matter if it’s a skill or not. What matters is the result.’
As Kang Hyeon expected, what she was using was not a skill.
It was magic using her pure abilities.
Although the magic was registered in the skill window after she mastered it, its essence was a technique she herself discovered.
“Ha!”
With Ariana Ward’s spirit and magical power bursting in all directions, it instantly settled into the spirit stone.
And just like that, the light of the magic circle disappeared.
Darkness descended around them once more.
“Is it done?”
“Shh!”
Ariana Ward put her index finger to her nose in response to Kang Hyeon’s question.
“Watch quietly.”
At that moment, the fingers of the skeleton on the floor began to twitch.
-Clatter, clatter…
The movement starting from fingertips and toes gradually became more dynamic.
The moment the skeleton’s head moved.
-Whoosh!
A red glow erupted in the skeleton’s eyes.
“What a dramatic entrance.”
Kang Hyeon chuckled, welcoming Veil’s return.

“Ah…”
Veil slowly rose from his position.
As he fully stood up, it was as if a great mountain had risen.
About 2m tall with broad shoulders.
His torso was not emptily hollow but filled with numerous bones.
Looking like he was wearing a massive bone armor.
“Am I… Resurrected?”
“It’s not quite resurrection. I’ve just transferred your body.”
“You kept your promise… Kang Hyeon.”
“I’ve never been one to speak twice. How’s the body? Do you like it?”
Veil looked down at his body.
“This… Is beyond imagination. I can only say it’s the best.”
An indescribable power could be felt.
The massive magic stone in his heart churned and poured magical power throughout his body.
His body was flexible like a mollusk, able to move freely at will.
“Right? As long as the magic stone isn’t destroyed, you can recover anytime, so you’ll hardly die.”
The soul, stabilized by the B+ grade spirit stone.
The magic power, brought closer to Kang Hyeon by the dragon’s magic stone.
The ultimate body that improved human weaknesses and added strengths.
Everything was perfect.
“Sword… Give me a sword. I want to swing it right now.”
“Follow me.”
Kang Hyeon led Veil outside the cabin.
And handed him the sword of Gattu Asas that he had prepared in advance.
“What is this..?”
“I picked it up on the way. It looked useful.”
“This is a sword made of Green Ore. And not just a little mixed in, but more than 80% Green Ore…”
“Green Ore? What’s that?”
“Green Ore. A mineral called the gift from the God of War. There’s no better material for creating weapons.”
“Really? So it was good.”
“This is not something that can be simply described as good. This is literally a rare ore that is worth its name. It’s hundreds of times more expensive than gold of the same weight, but it’s always in short supply and impossible to obtain.”
At the words ‘hundreds of times more expensive than gold,’ Kang Hyeon’s mouth gaped open.
“It’s also a mineral that is difficult to process… But this was created by the best craftsman and then completed with an unimaginably excellent wizard. It can be said to be the best sword throughout the continent’s history.”
The sword of Gattu Asas seemed to be much more incredible than Kang Hyeon had thought.
‘I thought it was simply hard, sharp, and just somewhat good at transmitting magical power… No, is that what makes it amazing?’
In fact, it was natural for the sword to be extraordinary.
Absolute Being Agon.
It was a sword he had personally crafted for Gattu Asas, one of his beloved subordinates.
-The best swordsman needs the best sword.
This sword of Gattu Asas, created over several years, could be called the best weapon in continental history.
“May I swing it once?”
“Do as you please.”
Veil, who nodded his head, gripped the sword tightly.
-Swish!
The sword swung like lightning.
Simultaneously, dark purple magical power flew out, cutting down everything that stood in its path.
“Oh, not bad?”
Everything within about 100m had been cleanly sliced.
‘In terms of pure power, it looks somewhat similar to that Gattu Asas guy.’
In fact, it was slightly inferior compared to Gattu Asas, but in Kang Hyeon’s eyes, unfamiliar with swordsmanship, it looked similar.
“Huh? Why are you returning it?”
At that moment, Veil held out the sword to Kang Hyeon again.
“I’ve already been gifted the best physique. I cannot receive such a precious sword.”
During the time Veil was human.
His swordsmanship was called the best in the kingdom.
However, due to his lack of magical talent, he could not become the knight commander and remained a high-ranking royal knight.
‘Certainly that was the case, but now his swordsmanship skills seem lacking.’
But now he had obtained an unimaginably strong body and magical power.
He even felt that his own swordsmanship skills were insufficient in comparison.
‘But that’s okay. I am an immortal. I will have plenty of time to practice swordsmanship in the future. I must truly thank Kang Hyeon.’
Kang Hyeon, who helped him achieve the dream he couldn’t accomplish in life.
At the moment he was internally grateful to him.
“Just take it.”
“Hmm?”
Kang Hyeon again returned the sword to Veil.
“Take it.”
“I cannot. I cannot receive such a precious item…”
“Ah! Just take it! Anyway, if I keep it, it’s just a club. I think you’ll use it better, so take it.”
Veil silently stared at the sword.
“Really… Can I really take this?”
“Take it! Didn’t I say I won’t say anything twice? I won’t ask for it back, so take it.”
“…”
Veil repeatedly stared at the sword and then at Kang Hyeon.
Suddenly, he knelt on the ground.
“What? Why are you doing this suddenly?”
“Be quiet. I’m about to perform an important ceremony.”
Veil, kneeling on one knee, bowed his head and brought his forehead to the sword’s handle.
And quietly murmured:
“I, Veil, swear on my sword and honor.”
“…”
“Until my bones are crushed and the magical stone in my heart is extinguished…”
The magical power rising from Veil’s body flowed into the sword and vibrated.
“I will be your last knight, protecting Kang Hyeon forever.”
Veil raised his head and looked at Kang Hyeon.
“Kang Hyeon. Do you agree?”

On the way back home.
Kang Hyeon and his companions were walking on a quiet path.
“Hey.”
Kang Hyeon suddenly tapped Veil’s shoulder.
“What?”
“What was that thing you did earlier?”
Recalling what Veil had said while kneeling, Kang Hyeon asked.
“A ceremony.”
“What kind of ceremony?”
“A ceremony where I stake my soul.”
“Can you be more specific…”
“Even if I explain, you won’t understand. Just remember that I will protect you for the rest of my life.”
“Punk. How can you protect me when you’re weaker than me.”
Though he spoke irritably, a pleasant smile was on Kang Hyeon’s face.
“Oh, I’m curious about something else too. What does ‘last knight’ mean? Vince Karon was also talking about the last knight of some empire. Does it mean being the only one left?”
“The term ‘last knight’ is not meant literally. It’s more symbolic.”
“What’s that symbolic meaning?”
“It means a knight who has sworn to protect until the very end. I believe Vince Karon performed a similar ceremony to the emperor of the Lihendren Empire.”
“I see. But why are you using informal speech? In movies and such, when serving a lord, they usually speak more politely. Aren’t you being too rough?”
“I said I would protect you, not that I would serve you as a lord. The thought of speaking formally to you is unimaginable. That’s why I deliberately only said I would protect you during the vow ceremony.”
“You insufferable guy.”
As Kang Hyeon frowned at Veil’s words, he suddenly felt multiple magical powers approaching from somewhere.
“Who’s coming?”
“Quite a number of them.”
Kang Hyeon spoke, and Veil completed the sentence.
The group stopped and waited for those approaching.
A moment later.
“First time meeting you, Kang Hyeon.”
A man approached and greeted Kang Hyeon.
The man who arrived leading helicopters and numerous escort vehicles was Howard Princeton, the President of the United States.
