I Alone Resurrect Chapter 188

Between Chance and Inevitability(4)

Kang Hyeon and the raid party quickly rushed towards the dungeon’s center.

“Maybe we should have moved together from the start?”

Whether it was just a feeling or not, even though they were moving towards the dungeon’s center, the raid seemed to be getting easier.

‘Well, it makes sense that it feels easier.’

He had been handling the traps alone before anyway.

With the best ability users fighting together now, it couldn’t help but feel easier.

‘This is definitely different from China.’

In China’s A-rank dungeon, there were more people in the raid party than now.

However, the average level of ability users was much lower than now.

Except for a very small number of ability users from foreign countries, it was natural since most were ability users deployed in large numbers from China, North Korea, and Russia.

In contrast, everyone gathered here now was the best of the elite.

There was no reason for the raid not to go smoothly.

“Kyaaah!”

At that moment, a strange cry from the front snapped Kang Hyeon out of his thoughts.

“Approximately 300 monsters! Prepare battle formation!”

At Han Se-yeon’s shout, the ability users quickly formed their positions.

“Haap!”

Kang Hyeon, who always took the lead in battle, led the charge this time too.

“Die!”

Kang Hyeon, who charged ahead alone, swung Filthian’s hammer and disrupted the monsters’ formation.

-Chwaaaa!

The ability users who arrived after him began cutting down monsters at an incredible speed.

“Mutant! Elite object!”

At that moment, among the alligator-like monsters, one particularly large one with darkish skin appeared.

“Dangun Guild will handle this!”

Han Se-yeon, who saw the creature, led her guild members to approach.

The Dangun Guild surrounded the roughly 3m tall creature and attacked from all directions.

Having practiced countless times together, Dangun Guild steadily pressured the monster.

Among them, Han Se-yeon particularly stood out to the point of being dazzling.

Han Seyteon swung her sword at an incredible speed right in front of the monster.

The creature swung its blade-like claws to catch Han Se-yeon, but couldn’t even graze her and only cut through empty air.

“Kyaraaa!”

In an instant, the creature’s entire body was slashed up and enormous amounts of blood sprayed everywhere.

Han Se-yeon, now completely covered in that blood, thrust her sword into the creature’s eye and-

-Chwak!

As she twisted and pulled out her sword, the creature’s large body slowly began to collapse.

“Phew… Is it over.”

Looking around, it seemed like others’ battles were also wrapping up.

-Kwang! Bang! Bang!

Han Se-yeon, who was surveying the battlefield, turned her head toward a particularly noisy area.

There, of course, was Kang Hyeon, wildly swinging his giant hammer.

‘He was strong before but… Now he’s become a monster that’s hard to even call human.’

To be honest, she wasn’t confident she could win in a one-on-one fight against Kang Hyeon.

When she last saw Kang Hyeon, she thought she could definitely win but…

‘Even a graze would be fatal.’

Right now, if she were even grazed by that hammer, her bones would be shattered and she’d be incapacitated.

Of course, Han Se-yeon had an ace up her sleeve, but the same would be true for Kang Hyeon.

‘It must be a good thing.’

The appearance of such a powerful ability user was a great blessing for humanity as a whole.

But Han Se-yeon couldn’t deny the jealousy and competitive spirit rising in one corner of her heart.

“Good work everyone!”

The battle ended not long after.

Zero casualties.

While there were multiple injured, the best healers were standing by here.

They would soon heal the wounds and rejoin the battle.

“What do you think?”

After the battle, while everyone was checking their equipment and treating the injured, Kang Hyeon approached Han Se-yeon.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, can we make it to the main core?”

“Looking at the current situation, it seems we’ll reach the core and clear it smoothly.”

“Hmm…”

Although everything was going smoothly, Kang Hyeon looked somewhat uneasy.

“Is there some problem?”

“For an A-rank dungeon, no matter how I think about it, it seems too easy.”

The dungeon is too easy.

Others would be shocked if they heard this.

The current smooth progress wasn’t because the dungeon was easy, but simply because the people gathered here were too excellent.

Han Se-yeon wondered why Kang Hyeon had such concerns.

“Is it because of the A-rank dungeon you experienced before?”

“That’s right. Even though there can be difficulty differences within the same rank, compared to China, this is excessively easy. Which means ultimately…”

“The boss will be stronger?”

“Well, that could be the case.”

Honestly, Han Se-yeon found it hard to agree, but she couldn’t ignore the words of Kang Hyeon, who was the only one here with experience clearing an A-rank dungeon.

“I think Dakiran might be the boss’s name…”

Kang Hyeon, who had been pondering something, soon shook his head.

“Never mind. We’re going to raid the main core anyway, so what’s the point of thinking ahead.”

“It’s rare that we agree.”

Kang Hyeon smirked at Han Se-yeon’s words.

“Let’s get going. Everyone seems to have rested enough.”

Kang Hyeon, who had already fully recovered, rose energetically from his seat.

Until then, no one could have predicted.

What would be waiting at the main core where the boss was.

A siren rang throughout Seoul.

-This is a real situation. Citizens, please immediately evacuate to buildings or underground. Once again, we inform you. Currently in northern Seoul….

The sudden evacuation warning threw all of Seoul into chaos.

“What sudden evacuation!?”

“Is this some kind of joke?”

All roads were filled with vehicles, and people on the streets were at a loss about what to do in the face of this sudden disaster.

“Those still outside, please hurry and evacuate into buildings!”

The military and police were fully mobilized to try to control the situation, but it wasn’t an easy task.

Shin Seong-ah coldly watched this chaos from the rooftop of the tallest building in the area.

“How much time is left?”

In response to Shin Seong-ah’s question, a voice flowed from the earphone in her ear.

-It’s approaching at an incredible speed. It will probably arrive within 5 minutes.

Shin Seong-ah let out a deep sigh at Shin Tae-gil’s words.

“Huu…”

Her heart pounded thinking about what was about to unfold.

Currently, over 1,000 ability users were standing by near Seoul Children’s Grand Park, and that number was still rapidly increasing.

‘Can we stop it…’

The enemy had already broken through three blockade lines.

Although hundreds of ability users had been waiting there too, the enemies broke through the ability users’ encirclement as if mocking it.

Even the longest-lasting point couldn’t hold out for 10 minutes.

‘In the end, we have to do it.’

It would be the same here.

The only difference was that the strongest ability users were gathered here, and she and the Badass Guild members were present.

-2 o’clock direction! They’re almost here.

At Shin Tae-gil’s voice, Shin Seong-ah widened her eyes and looked ahead.

‘Fast.’

She could faintly see black objects approaching at a speed impossible for humans to achieve.

Shin Seong-ah steadied her breathing and slowly aimed through the scope.

‘The first attack needs to make an impact.’

What she was holding now was a sniper rifle specially made by Jeong Seo-bin’s laboratory.

Just one bullet for this rifle, which could snipe targets over 3km away, cost over 1 million won.

‘If we don’t succeed at first, they’ll become cautious.’

If that happens, the next attempt will be much more difficult.

“…”

Shin Seong-ah held her breath, and her body completely stopped as if frozen.

The magical power slowly flowing from within her body accumulated in the gun and bullet, and when everything reached its peak-

-Tang!

The bullet was fired.

Gattu Asas, Okal Olun, and Lim Hyeon-seong, who had become undead, were quickly moving south.

“More boring than I expected.”

Until now, numerous ability users had charged at them, but all lost their lives without lasting even one exchange.

Okal then raised those dead bodies as undead, intensifying the chaos.

Since the city center was complex and many civilians hadn’t evacuated yet, the military and ability users had no choice but to be passive.

“Once we handle the target, bringing down this country won’t be too difficult either.”

“Grrrr…”

Lim Hyeon-seong’s head opened its mouth as if agreeing with Gattu’s words.

Although Gattu looked at Lim Hyeon-seong with displeasure, there was nothing he could do.

“He’s more useful than expected, so I’ll have to keep him alive a bit longer.”

Having devoured human morale in such a short time, Lim Hyeon-seong was growing stronger in real-time.

Since humans felt tremendous fear toward Lim Hyeon-seong who wielded his own head, he was helpful beyond just raw power.

“More humans?”

While moving south like this.

An enormous amount of magical power began to be felt from ahead.

“Quite a gathering.”

The roughly sensed number was over a thousand.

But numbers meant nothing to Gattu.

It just meant more corpses to raise.

At that moment.

“…!”

Gattu quickly raised his arm.

-Kwaaang!

Something flying from the front hit Gattu’s armor and bounced off.

“Who dares..!”

He could feel the bones in his arm vibrating from the impact.

However, Gattu had no time to be angry.

Because something came flying again, aiming for his head.

Realizing it would be difficult to block, Gattu quickly twisted his head.

-Hwuuung!

As the projectile grazed past his helmet, an incredible wind pressure blew.

“Interesting… Right. It shouldn’t be too easy.”

“Now!”

Simultaneously, an incredible amount of magic and arrows rained down on Gattu Asas from all directions.

-Kwagwagwang!

“Keoheok!”

A man who had his abdomen pierced by a sword coughed up blood violently.

-Schwaaak!

Gattu Asas swung his sword in that state and cut off the man’s waist.

“This is endless.”

He couldn’t tell how many hours he had been fighting here.

If he had to guess, it must have been at least half a day.

During that time, he had cut down over 1,000 humans.

Due to the continuous battle, Gattu’s armor was sticky with dried blood.

Around him, corpses from the humans he had cut down formed small pools.

“…!”

At that moment, Gattu hurriedly swung his sword.

-Kaang!

As the bullet deflected off Gattu’s sword, he felt his arm tingling after blocking it.

“This is really annoying… I’m starting to get seriously angry.”

A human somewhere was firing projectiles at him.

That human was the main cause of this prolonged battle.

From the beginning, he tried to approach and kill that human, but they moved unpredictably and persistently interfered with him.

“Why can’t I sense any magical power?”

With attacks this strong, he should have been able to sense that human’s magical power, but he couldn’t.

Whether this was because the surroundings were too chaotic or because their stealth skills were exceptional, he didn’t know.

“Really annoying…”

What mattered was that for the first time in a while, someone was properly getting on Gattu Asas’s nerves.

‘Originally, I should retreat now.’

Gattu Asas didn’t need to push himself here unnecessarily.

He could retreat briefly, recover his magical power, and then deal with the humans again.

-Taang!

However, something flying from far away was preventing him from leaving.

“I’ll kill you…!”

Gattu intended to definitively end that human in this battle, even if it meant pushing himself a bit.

“Okal Olun.”

“Yes.”

“Pull back and find them secretly.”

It seemed he would have to draw attention while having Okal Olun search for that human.

“I apologize. My magical power is completely depleted…”

Okal Olun lowered his head to the ground as he spoke.

‘Indeed. This battle was too much for an Olun-class.’

From what he had observed so far, Okal was a magician with superior abilities among the Olun, but in the end, an Olun was still just an Olun.

He didn’t have the ability to sustain such a large-scale battle for an extended period.

“Can’t be helped. Focus on casting healing spells on him to keep him alive.”

“Yes.”

In this situation, the most efficient approach was to use Okal as Lim Hyeon-seong’s dedicated healer.

Although Lim Hyeon-seong’s head was soaked in blood and he seemed to have difficulty keeping his eyes open, he appeared to be enjoying this situation.

This was impossible for a low-level undead without emotions, but somehow Gattu felt that way.

“Then let’s keep moving.”

The thick shell casing ejected, and Shin Seong-ah quickly reloaded the gun.

“Phew…”

Her head was splitting with pain from maintaining concentration for so long.

“Still, half the objective was successful.”

Although many had died, it wasn’t without results.

They had managed to lure the enemies near Cheonggye Mountain, where people had completely evacuated.

Cheonggye Mountain was an area where an A-grade dungeon had already broken out and many people had fled.

Thanks to that, people could move to shelters most quickly.

“The problem is what comes next…”

Originally, after luring them here, the army equipped with magic stone equipment was supposed to deal with the enemies.

But Shin Seong-ah couldn’t help but doubt whether the soldiers could really defeat that monster.

“Will it really be alright?”

In response to Shin Seong-ah’s question, Shin Tae-gil’s answer came through the earpiece.

-Please leave it to us. Ms. Shin Seong-ah, you’ve already done as much as you could. Anyway, from here on it’s beyond my authority, so there’s nothing more we can do.

“Yes,”

After responding, Shin Seong-ah packed her equipment to move to the next location.

Since Gattu mustn’t know where she was, Shin Seong-ah never stayed in one place for more than 5 minutes.

As Shin Seong-ah was about to move with her gun shouldered.

“Oh no!”

Sensing something, Shin Seong-ah quickly threw herself aside.

-Kugugugung!

The building where she had been was cleanly cut through as if it were a soft sausage and began to collapse.

As Shin Seong-ah quickly dodged and looked up, there stood the black-armored enemy she had been seeing to the point of tedium.

“Finally found you.”
