I Alone Resurrect Chapter 184
Individual Combat (6)
“So all the Oluns have been defeated.”
Gattu Asas arrived at Choi Dong-woo’s location.
What he saw were Oluns lying on the ground with their heads missing.
“Where did they come from? Were there humans of this caliber in this land?”
At Gattu’s words, Okal Olun beside him lowered his head.
“They are ability users from a country called South Korea, which is right below here.”
Okal Olun knew well about Choi Dong-woo as he had once operated in Korea with Bano Kulsa.
“Especially the one holding the spear is among the strongest in South Korea.”
“Then was Bano Kulsa defeated by him?”
“No, that’s not the case.”
At Okal’s answer, Gattu Asas clenched his teeth.
“Interesting… Very interesting.”
This country called North Korea was so boring it made him yawn.
But he thought the country right below might be a bit more entertaining than this place.
“Even though it’s puzzling how Bano Kulsa was defeated… I’ll find out when we get to South Korea.”
While the two were conversing, the ability users had already surrounded them and finished preparing for battle.
“Okal Olun. Don’t die.”
“Yes.”
Of the total ten Oluns, five were sent to China and four were defeated here.
In other words, Okal Olun here was the last remaining Olun to assist Gattu Asas.
Gattu decided to end the battle quickly to avoid future hassles.
“…”
A heavy silence fell.
Gattu Asas moved first.
-Chwaaak!
With just one swing of his sword, dozens of ability users died with their waists cut.
“Damn! Everyone retreat!”
Simultaneously, the spear-wielding man, Choi Dong-woo, shouted loudly and charged at Gattu.
Gattu swung his sword again without hesitation.
The black magical power extending from the sword instantly engulfed Choi Dong-woo.
Choi Dong-woo hurriedly raised his spear to block the magical power.
-Seogek!
“Kuk!”
But the spear was instantly split in half, and a long wound appeared on Choi Dong-woo’s chest.
Nevertheless, Choi Dong-woo didn’t stop charging.
“Hoo, still alive?”
Gattu let out a small exclamation seeing Choi Dong-woo charging while spraying blood.
“I swung intending to kill in one strike.”
Choi Dong-woo was the first human here to withstand his attack.
The charging Choi Dong-woo had already taken out another spear and was throwing it at him.
A spear overflowing with red magical power.
-Kwaaang!
A thunderous sound rang out as Gattu deflected the spear.
“The power is quite decent.”
Although his best strike was easily blocked, Choi Dong-woo continued his next attack as if he had expected it.
-Kwaang! Kwang!
Gattu leisurely deflected Choi Dong-woo’s spears.
Each time the deflected spears hit the ground, explosions like bombs rang out.
“Your technique isn’t bad.”
Even while attacking, Choi Dong-woo kept glancing around to check if the union members were escaping well.
“But you’re impudent”
Seeing this, Gattu swung his sword widely.
The sword approached in a path that seemed simple but was difficult for Choi Dong-woo to block.
Choi Dong-woo widened his eyes and raised his spear to block, but the spear split in half.
-Chwaaaa!
Blood sprayed as Choi Dong-woo’s upper body was cut diagonally.
Even as he fell, Choi Dong-woo’s wide-open eyes were still fixed on Gattu.
“What a shame. If only Kulsa were here, I could have made you an eternal warrior fighting for Lord Agon.”
While Gattu Asas wasn’t completely ignorant of magic, his specialty was ultimately the sword.
“What a shame. Such a shame…”
Gattu thought that if there was just one Kulsa-level magician here, he could have revived Choi Dong-woo as an excellent warrior.
That’s how coveted Choi Dong-woo’s power was.
“A shame, but it can’t be helped.”
Gattu swung his sword toward the fallen Choi Dong-woo.

At the same time.
Kang Hyeon was still clearing the dungeon alone.
A-grade dungeon ‘Dakiran’s Maze’.
Since entering the passage alone on the first day of clearing, Kang Hyeon had continued fighting alone.
“Kieeee!”
“So what! You bastard!”
Kang Hyeon struck with full force at the jaw of the monster that was opening its mouth wide and screaming.
The monster’s jaw instantly shattered and flew through the air, crashing into the wall.
“Haa… I’m getting a bit tired…”
Around Kang Hyeon, corpses of monsters like the one he just killed were scattered everywhere.
Just at a glance, there appeared to be over 100 corpses.
Kang Hyeon had been engaging in such battles for over a week.
“I’m really going to die…”
Kang Hyeon sighed and slumped down on the ground.
After fighting for a week straight, he looked worse than a street beggar.
Not only could he not properly rest because he was moving alone, but due to always taking short naps for sleep, dark circles had settled deeply under his eyes.
“Won’t you give me a level up? Huh?”
Kang Hyeon frowned heavily and swung his fist toward the air.
“Administrator or whatever. Please give me a level up.”
Just before entering the dungeon, Kang Hyeon had leveled up to reach level 90.
Perhaps because of this, despite fighting desperately for the past week, there was no sign of his level increasing.
“I’m really going to die at this rate…”
He couldn’t remember the last time he had fought to the point of being this exhausted.
“Whatever. Let’s get some sleep first. Kill me or save me, do whatever you want. Damn.”
That moment when Kang Hyeon’s eyes were gradually closing.
[Level Up-!]
“Huh? Level up?”
Along with a strangely more cheerful message than usual, Kang Hyeon’s level increased.
“What? Really? For real!?”
Life began to return to Kang Hyeon’s eyes, which had been dying just moments ago.
His depleted magic power was completely replenished, and the wounds that hadn’t been properly healed disappeared completely.
“Hahaha!”
Although he still looked like a beggar, Kang Hyeon felt refreshed as if he had been reborn.
“It’s all dead!”
At this rate, it seemed like he could really reach the Normal Core alone.
Although he wasn’t sure how long it would take, after walking in one direction for over a week, the Core couldn’t be that far away.
“It’s a shame I can’t detect magic power. And the walls won’t break either.”
Whether it was purposely designed to make people wander in the maze, magic power couldn’t be detected at all here.
Like before, he tried swinging his hammer to break the walls, but that wasn’t possible either.
Although he couldn’t know how far the Normal Core was or if he was going the right way, it was okay.
“I’ll find it if I keep going. Or others will clear it.”
When someone destroys the Core, if you’re far away from that place, a portal appears for that person too.
Kang Hyeon wasn’t worried about being trapped here since he could just commit suicide and return home if things didn’t work out.
“Alright! Shall we go again.”
Kang Hyeon got up energetically from the floor and dusted off his bottom.
Then the sticky blood and monster fluids that had dried on came off on his hands.
“Ah, damn it.”
Kang Hyeon made a mental note to definitely bring a change of clothes next time he enters a dungeon.

Lim Hyeon-seong, the Guild Master of the Gentleman Guild.
True to the name Gentleman Guild, he always emphasized cleanliness and manners, and always wore a suit outside the dungeon.
“Sigh…”
But now, he looked completely like a beggar.
“Hey, Team Leader. When will we reach the Normal Core?”
“The magic power inside the dungeon is too mixed up to detect. We have no choice but to keep going forward.”
“How many days has it been? We’re all going to die at this rate.”
Team 5, led by Lim Hyeon-seong, had the most ability users with 83 members.
But after about a week had passed now.
Only 48 people remained.
During that time, as many as 35 ability users had died.
And these weren’t just anybody, but South Korea’s best ability users.
‘I knew it wouldn’t be easy… But it’s harder than expected.’
Monsters kept coming endlessly, day and night.
The cleverly placed traps in the middle of the passages took lives the moment you let your guard down.
‘Based on the increasing magic power density, we’re going the right way but…’
Just as Lim Hyeon-seong was frowning and pondering.
“It’s the Core!”
Everyone’s attention turned to someone’s shout.
“Really! It’s the Normal Core!”
The Core finally found!
Lim Hyeon-seong pushed past the ability users and went forward.
“Everyone be careful. There might be monsters guarding the Core…!”
Lim Hyeon-seong suddenly stopped speaking.
Contrary to his expectations, there were no monsters at the Normal Core.
More precisely, there were only dead monsters.
“Did someone already arrive?”
Just then, as the ability users were whispering among themselves, someone suddenly stood up among the monster corpses.
“Hey, if you’ve come, please be quiet. I was trying to get a good rest for once.”
“That voice… Kang Hyeon?”
Although he was too disheveled to recognize, the voice was definitely Kang Hyeon’s.
Looking closely, his build seemed similar too.
“What? How is Kang Hyeon alive!?”
“He came here alone? That’s impossible!”
“Was Kang Hyeon’s path the easier route…?”
The ability users of Team 5 didn’t know how to take this situation.
Not only had Kang Hyeon, who entered the maze alone, arrived before Team 5, but he had also killed all the monsters at the Normal Core.
Checking the corpses, there were even powerful ones mixed in that had taken their comrades’ lives.
“…”
Among Team 5, the most shocked was the team leader, Lim Hyeon-seong.
‘The difference is this big…?’
Despite being only 1 year old, the Gentleman Guild had quickly risen and was currently ranked 10th.
Of course, without corporate sponsorship, such rapid growth would have been difficult in such a short time.
But still, no one denied that Lim Hyeon-seong’s abilities were exceptional.
You couldn’t buy top-tier ability users with just money alone.
Because of this, Lim Hyeon-seong believed in his abilities and was always confident.
‘I’ll rise to first place soon enough.’
Dangun, who had firmly held first place from the beginning until now.
Badass, who had quickly risen and seized second place.
Immortal in third place, who had steadily grown their guild over a long time.
People looked up to them, but he was confident he could put them all below him someday.
‘I certainly thought so but…’
Just then.
“So you were here first.”
Several people walked in from another passage.
“It’s the Dangun Guild.”
While everyone looked disheveled, Dangun was relatively neat in appearance.
And Han Se-yeon, the woman walking confidently at the front of Dangun, looked almost the same as when they started, neat and tidy.
Moreover, all 15 members who had started out were still alive.
“With those numbers and you’re still slower than me. Dangun must be past their prime.”
Kang Hyeon smirked and provoked Han Se-yeon.
“Don’t come closer. You smell.”
“What!?”
Watching the two bicker, Lim Hyeon-seong quietly closed his eyes.
‘I was arrogant…’
There’s always someone better.
The threshold of the highest position seemed higher than he thought.
