I Alone Resurrect Chapter 170

The Great Sanctuary of Krokta (2)

“Argh!”

With a powerful roar, the Lizardman Warrior was sent flying like a cannonball.

“Ugh, ugh…”

As Jeong Myeong-ho exhaled heavily and raised his head, he saw Kang Hyeon rushing towards the Warrior.

“So you barely managed to save your life…”

The Chinese assault team led by Jang Myeong-ho had inadvertently encountered the dungeon’s sub-boss and was struggling.

The other espers had barely lasted a few seconds and lost their lives, so Jang Myeong-ho had no choice but to stand alone against the beast. 

The creature was too powerful to handle, but he was desperately holding out, as if he fell, everyone would die.

“I’m really grateful.”

Fortunately, thanks to the man who appeared at the critical moment, he could barely save his life.

“I think his name was Kang Hyeon.”

The representative of the Korean assault team.

In fact, Kang Hyeon was one of the world-renowned talents, so Jang Myeong-ho had known his name to some extent.

“He’s even more of a monster than I heard.”

Jang Myeong-ho was also a renowned talent in China. 

The one who had been pressing Jang Myeong-ho unilaterally was now fighting Kang Hyeon on an equal footing.

“Although he took the lead with a surprise attack in the beginning, what follows is purely his own strength.”

Kang Hyeon’s fighting was rougher than imagined.

He didn’t care about getting injured at all and poured everything into killing the enemy.

It seemed like he was trying to finish off the Warrior, who had been hit hard by the hammer at the beginning, before it could recover.

“Please! Just die nicely!”

The two were fiercely exchanging blows.

The battle eventually ended with Kang Hyeon tearing the Warrior’s head to pieces.

“Aaaargh!”

Kang Hyeon roared as if he had become a monster himself, and then rushed towards the next target.

‘This is my chance.’

Seeing this, Jang Myeong-ho quickly looked around and approached the warrior’s corpse.

‘There are two items dropped.’

Jang Myeong-ho was able to find the spear and ring the warrior had been using. 

The spear was grade A, and the ring was grade B+.

Jang Myeong-ho quickly put them in his inventory and rejoined the battle.

The fierce normal core battle was over, and what remained were the blood that formed the river and the piles of corpses like mountains.

Wiping the thick blood stuck on his face with his hand, Jang Myeong-ho sighed.

“Phew… Is it over?”

Even though he had just broken the normal core, the fatigue rushed in as if he had finished all the attacks.

A man approached Jang Myeong-ho, who was resting on a rock.

“Guild Master. I’d like to report.”

“Yeah, tell me.”

As Jang Myeong-ho nodded, the guild member began to report the battle results.

“…As a result of this battle, the total number of casualties is 67.”

“67 people, huh.”

It was a number that was neither many nor few.

“Tell me in detail.”

“21 Russian ability users, 27 North Korean ability users, and 1 ability user each from the UK and the US have died.”

According to the guild member’s words, the total number of deaths was 50.

“There are a few people missing. Are the remaining 17 our guild members?”

“Yes… 17 casualties occurred during the battle. Most of them were killed by that bastard Warrior.”

Even though Jang Myeong-ho had done his best to hold them back before Kang Hyeon arrived, many casualties had occurred.

“I see. Take a rest now.”

“Yes.”

The subordinate bowed his head once and returned to the gathering place of the guild members.

“So the total number of casualties so far is 81.”

14 people died on the way to the normal core, and 67 people died in this normal core assault.

Adding them all up, there were 81 casualties.

“When we first set out, there were 397 of us, including me, so about a fifth have died.”

At first glance, it seemed that an enormous amount of damage had occurred, but the reality was different.

All the espers who had died so far were from Russia, North Korea, and China.

The casualties from the other countries that participated with a small elite force were only 2 in this battle.

‘Those who jumped into this hell without being told must have been very confident in their abilities.’

China, Russia, and North Korea had supported them at the national level, but the other ability users had mostly come of their own accord, despite their countries’ objections.

Literally, they walked into the tiger’s den of their own free will.

Their actions were deeply rooted in confidence in their abilities.

And they had proven that their confidence was not unfounded in the battles so far.

As Jang Myeong-ho was organizing his thoughts, a commotion started somewhere.

“What is this muscle pig saying!?”  

“You are definitely a thief!”  

Kang Hyeon and the American representative, Railer, were arguing loudly.

“What’s going on?”  

Jang Myeong-ho, with a tired face, asked them.

“This guy Kang Hyeon has monopolized the items that Lizardman Warrior had.”  

“This bastard is kidding. Hey, did you see it? Huh?”  

At Railer’s words, Kang Hyeon became greatly agitated and shouted.

“I clearly saw you fighting the Lizardman Warrior!”  

“I just finished dealing with that and left right away! Where would I have time to gather items when I was busy fighting?”  

“Don’t lie. There’s no way you just left the items right in front of you.”  

Actually, Jang Myeong-ho himself had taken the items, but he did not speak up.  

‘I’m sorry to Kang Hyeon, who saved my life… But I can’t help it.’  

It was the situation he had wanted anyway.  

He was even grateful that it was going so intentionally.  

‘The ability users are still too strong. It would be good to scatter their power a little here.’  

So far, the countries that had dispatched a large number of ability users had been the ones suffering the most. 

The core ability users who could be considered the main targets were still intact.  

Jang Myeong-ho thought the current quarrel between the two was an opportunity to reduce the power of these users.

“Grayson died in this battle. If you, like this guy, had not thought about stealing the items and actively participated in the battle, that wouldn’t have happened.”  

At Railer’s absurdity, Kang Hyeon snorted derisively.

“Are you hit in the head with a gun? Why are you blaming me for your teammate’s death? And did I not actively participate in the battle?”  

Kang Hyeon roughly brushed his hair back and continued.

“Those huge alligator bastards over there. I killed 3 out of 10 by myself, and I also killed the Warrior you’re shouting about. But you’re saying I was just fooling around?”  

“Haha, funny. You say you single-handedly killed 3 of those giant kroas? Do you have any proof? And the Lizardman Warrior was probably just finished off by you after he was already weakened from fighting the Chinese ability users.”  

“Ugh… Really can’t get through to you.”  

In fact, Railer knew Kang Hyeon’s words were true.  

He couldn’t confirm that Kang Hyeon took the items, but it was clear that Kang Hyeon had made the biggest contribution in this battle.  

However, the reason Railer was attacking Kang Hyeon was simple.  

‘If I’m not careful, all the achievements will go to that guy.’  

The items were limited, and Kang Hyeon was the biggest competitor who was most likely to claim those limited resources.  

‘At this level, it should deal quite a bit of damage to the main core, but not enough to prevent clearing it.’  

Considering all the circumstances, it was better to mobilize public opinion here and push Kang Hyeon back a bit.  

‘By the way, I really don’t know who took the items…’  

The suspected culprit was the Chinese ability users, but there was no evidence.  

‘Forget it. The important thing is the boss’s items. As long as I get those, that’s enough.’  

Just as Railer was thinking that, 

“We are still in the middle of the operation. It’s not good to argue like this already.”  

The Chinese Jang Myeong-ho stepped forward to stop the two.  

‘This slippery bastard.’  

Railer inwardly scoffed at Jang Myeong-ho. 

Everyone present knew that Jang Myeong-ho, from China, wanted internal conflicts to break out during the operation.  

In fact, with Jang Myeong-ho, the most likely suspect, stepping forward to speak, even Railer felt a sense of disgust.  

‘But I have to play along with him once to drive out Kang Hyeon.’  

However, to push Kang Hyeon out now, he had to borrow the dirty hand of Jang Myeong-ho.  

“I can’t go with this thief. Don’t you all feel the same way?”  

Railer looked around at the others.  

“That’s right. Without trust, we can’t work together.”  

At his question, most of the ability users who had been indirectly suppressing Kang Hyeon nodded their heads.  

“Sigh… So, what are you getting at?”  

Kang Hyeon sighed and said.  

“Leave the operation team.”  

“What?”  

“I mean, take your guild members and leave. From now on, we’ll do the operation separately.”  

Railer looked at Jang Myeong-ho.  

“That’s okay, right?”  

Jang Myeong-ho seemed to ponder for a moment, then nodded.  

“I’m sorry to Kang Hyeon, but if that’s everyone’s will, then we’ll proceed that way.”  

It was like a well-orchestrated theater performance.  

“You two make a great pair, don’t you?”  

Kang Hyeon said with a fierce smile.  

“Go. I hope you don’t interfere with the operation anymore.”  

Railer glared coldly at Kang Hyeon and said.  

“Okay, I’m going. I’m going, even if you tell me not to. I’m going because you’re filthy.”  

Kang Hyeon spat on the ground and turned away defiantly.

Kang Hyeon, Shin Seong-ah, Ahn Yu-seong, and Yoon Na-rae were gathered in a corner, eating their preservation rations in silence.

After the silent meal was over, the impatient Yoon Na-rae opened her mouth.

“Aren’t we in big trouble!?”

Yoon Na-rae’s gaze was directed at the operation team resting at a distance.

“What do you mean?”

“We’re the only ones going separately, aren’t we!”

“That’s right.”

Kang Hyeon answered blankly, gazing at the sky.

“But why are you so calm!? Shouldn’t we be finding a way! Whose fault is this anyway!”

“Whose fault do you think it is? It’s that muscle pig bastard’s fault.”

“Sigh… Is there a way?”

“A way?”

“A way to survive!”

At Yoon Na-rae’s words, Kang Hyeon closed his eyes.

“Not really? There isn’t one yet.”

“Sigh… Are you all okay? Are you going to die like this? Huh!?”

Yoon Na-rae alternately looked at Ahn Yu-seong and Shin Seong-ah.

“The situation has unfolded. We’ll have to think about what to do from now on.”

Shin Seong-ah gave a clichéd response.

“It’s not bad, I think it’ll be fun too.”

Ahn Yu-seong came up with a crazy answer.

“Actually, I’ve already thought of a way. So stop whining.”

At Kang Hyeon’s words, Yoon Na-rae’s eyes widened.

“Of course, our guild leader! You had a plan all along!”

“Yeah, yeah. So shut up and rest.”

Kang Hyeon answered casually, but Yoon Na-rae was desperate.

“Can I know what the great guild leader’s plan is?”

Kang Hyeon then got up from his lying position and approached Yoon Na-rae.

“Listen carefully. This is important.”

“Yes!”

Kang Hyeon leaned in and whispered.

“First, secretly follow behind them.”

“Yes. And then?”

“They’ll keep going towards the main core, right?”

“That’s right!”

“So sneak after them, and when they reach the main core, we’ll join them.”

“That’s it?”

“What else do you need?”

“Shit… It’s over…”

“What? What did you just say?”

Kang Hyeon suddenly stood up.

“Ugh… My life. To be going like this at the youthful age of twenty-two. Meeting this stupid guild leader, what a mess…”

Kang Hyeon’s expression became terrifyingly distorted, but Yoon Na-rae was no longer afraid like before.

“What are you going to do? Hit me? Hit me! Since we’re going to die anyway, what does it matter if I get hit a bit.”

“Right. Since you’re going to die anyway. Just die now.”

“Aaaaah! I’m sorry! No, I was wrong! Ow! It hurts! It hurts!”

“Don’t just hurt, just die!”

Kang Hyeon put Yoon Na-rae in a headlock, pondering.

‘What do I do.’

He had said it as a joke, but in fact, the situation was very serious.

At this rate, everyone might really die.

‘I have to endure somehow.’

He would revive even if he died, but the guild members here wouldn’t.

Determined to save them at all costs, Kang Hyeon tightened his arm even more.

“Aaaaaah! My head is splitting!”
