I Alone Resurrect Chapter 189

Between Chance and Inevitability(5)

A-grade dungeon. Dakiran’s Maze.

The raiding party had now entered their 12th day since beginning their conquest.

“We’re definitely lucky this time.”

When Kang Hyeon said this with a smile, Han Se-yeon sharply opened her eyes and glared at him.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Sigh… Never mind.”

“To think that what came out of there was a shortcut. This must be heaven helping us!”

Kang Hyeon and Han Se-yeon were currently standing in front of the boss room.

Considering it had taken over a week to reach the normal core, this could be considered an extremely fast progression speed.

Yet the reason Han Se-yeon was so angry was simple.

“What are we going to do?”

“You know while you’re asking. We’re just going to charge in.”

Currently, the people standing in front of the boss room were Kang Hyeon and Han Se-yeon.

Just the two of them, which was the issue.

“I shouldn’t have stepped up then…”

Kang Hyeon and Han Se-yeon. The fact that these two had separated from the raiding party wasn’t anyone’s fault.

The situation was just unfavorable.

“Still, isn’t it a bit touching? You came running to save me like that.”

“Don’t get the wrong idea. I just momentarily forgot that you could resurrect.”

“Either way, doesn’t that mean you would have come if I didn’t have a resurrection skill?”

While moving ahead of the raiding party triggering traps, Kang Hyeon accidentally triggered a trap that released water.

-Ahhh! What is this!?

Startled by Kang Hyeon’s loud scream, Han Se-yeon ran ahead, leaving the raiding party behind.

-Since we don’t know what’s happening, everyone follow slowly! I’ll go ahead and check!

As a result.

-Kyaaaa!

Unable to respond to the water suddenly pouring from the side, Kang Hyeon and Han Se-yeon were swept away.

If it had been a trap with stronger killing power, the two would have broken through easily.

They were foolishly caught off guard by such an unexpected classic trap.

“Let me be clear. I only ran after you because I was worried that your absence would interfere with the raid. So if you’re having any unnecessary thoughts, it would be better for your well-being to drop them right now.”

“Unnecessary thoughts?”

Kang Hyeon shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t understand what she meant.

Han Se-yeon glared at Kang Hyeon again.

“Is this that delusion syndrome or whatever?”

Delusion syndrome. The illness of thinking everyone has fallen for you (likes you).

Its sister conditions were prince syndrome and princess syndrome.

“Looking at how you’re thinking, it seems your head is just for decoration…”

“Huh?”

“Shall I remove that useless thing now?”

“Ahhhhh! Isn’t this woman crazy!?”

Seeing Han Se-yeon swinging her sword with fire in her eyes, Kang Hyeon screamed and ran away.

“Finally found you.”

Gattu Asas said.

Shin Seong-ah shivered at the chilling low voice that seemed like a whisper from a devil in hell.

‘There’s no time for this.’

Nothing will change by staying still in panic.

Shin Seong-ah immediately searched her belongings and took out a smoke grenade.

“It would be better not to do anything foolish…”

-Pheong!

As the rolled smoke grenade exploded, the surroundings were engulfed in tremendous smoke.

Regular smoke grenades take several seconds to minutes to create a smoke screen.

But what Shin Seong-ah used wasn’t infantry equipment, but rather equipment mainly used in tanks.

As soon as it was thrown, a tremendous explosion occurred and acrid smoke filled everywhere.

While this could be fatal to ordinary people, such things weren’t important to someone with abilities like Shin Seong-ah.

‘Please come quickly!’

The smoke was both to buy time for her escape and serve as a distress signal to call people around.

‘I can see.’

Although visibility was completely blocked, Shin Seong-ah found Gattu through the flow of magic power.

-Tudududu!

Shin Seong-ah rapidly fired her automatic pistol where Gattu was and quickly jumped to the side.

Simultaneously, a tremendous magical blade brushed past where she had been.

-Kagagagak!

The magical blade that flew while digging more than 1m into the concrete floor instantly split the building behind.

Shin Seong-ah broke into a cold sweat at that absurdly terrifying power.

‘Blocking isn’t an option. I must dodge no matter what.’

Shin Seong-ah spread more smoke grenades while hiding her body.

‘I’m wearing a coat that conceals magic power but… How effective will it be?’

The reason she had been able to hide from Gattu until now was that she had recently bought a coat that blocked externally emitted magic power.

She had purchased it to maximize the advantage of long-range sniping, but it was uncertain whether it would be effective against such a strong opponent at this close range.

“You have many interesting tricks.”

Gattu Asas said while walking slowly.

Each time he walked, his armor made clanking sounds.

“But it would be better not to think about surviving.”

Shin Seong-ah sensed it.

He didn’t know her location.

As long as she didn’t make any sound with both visibility and magic power blocked, her position wouldn’t be detected.

“But tricks are nothing more than tricks after all.”

At that moment, Gattu Asas adjusted his grip on his sword and swung it at tremendous speed from where he stood.

The sword swung in a 360-degree rotation.

-Hwaak!

The wind blew from that sword and instantly scattered the smoke.

“Die.”

Black magic power shot from the sword that Gattu swung again.

‘Oh no, too late!’

The sword swung from such a close distance.

There was no time to dodge.

Shin Seong-ah’s eyes accurately perceived the attack, but her body wasn’t quick enough to follow it.

Just as Shin Seong-ah’s body was about to be split by the magic power,

-Teong!

Magic shot from somewhere deflected the sword blade and changed its path.

“Phew…”

As Shin Seong-ah sighed in relief watching the magic power brush past her body,

“Sis. Did you wait long?”

Ahn Yu-seong and Yoon Na-rae approached.

“It’s cozier than I thought?”

“Kang Hyeon, you don’t seem to know what cozy means.”

“This much is cozy. Well.”

Kang Hyeon and Han Se-yeon chatted while walking through the boss room.

“But it’s concerning that there are no monsters at all.”

“You seem to be gradually getting more casual with your speech since earlier.”

When Kang Hyeon used casual speech, Han Se-yeon glared and said.

“I was talking to myself? Han Se-yeon, are you perhaps? An old-fashioned person!”

“Once we get out of the dungeon… You should be prepared.”

Han Se-yeon said while grinding her molars.

“Can’t I just speak casually? Keep trying to use formal speech. I’m not used to it, makes my whole body cringe.”

“…”

“How old are you? Ms. Han Se-yeon.”

“Twenty-nine.”

“What? We’re the same age. We’re both about to turn thirty, so let’s speak comfortably!”

Han Se-yeon grabbed her head and frowned at the oncoming headache.

“Do as you please. This is comfortable for me.”

“Suit yourself.”

“By the way, Kang Hyeon, you were born on May 8th, right?”

Kang Hyeon was surprised by the sudden question about his birthday.

“That’s right but… How did you know?”

“I was born on April 2nd. I just know that I’m older.”

Kang Hyeon squinted at Han Se-yeon after hearing her words.

“You’re obsessing over something strange.”

Well, if that makes her happy.

Kang Hyeon particularly didn’t want to act like an older brother by pettily counting down to the month and day.

“But where is the real boss?”

The strong magic power of the main core could be felt right in front of them, but the boss was nowhere to be seen.

All around were endless pieces of experimental equipment.

“I thought this was a maze, but look at this?”

Kang Hyeon said while shaking solutions contained in flasks.

“Don’t let your guard down.”

“It’s strange. We’ve already reached the main core.”

As they talked while walking, they had already reached the center of the boss room, the main core.

“Wonder if it’ll appear if we touch the core?”

Kang Hyeon looked at the core pulsating like a heart.

“Should I break it?”

Kang Hyeon said while placing his hand on the core.

“Really break it!? No one’s coming out?”

“Kang Hyeon. We should wait first…”

“Ah, why wait? It’s just wasting time. Have you ever seen a monster that doesn’t react to someone trying to break the main core?”

“…”

No. Every monster’s first priority was protecting the core.

“The other raid members must be worried too. We should let them out quickly.”

“Sigh… Alright.”

Han Se-yeon was finally convinced by Kang Hyeon’s words.

“This is your last chance! If you don’t come out in 5 seconds, I’m breaking this! Five. Four. Three…”

The laboratory showed no reaction to Kang Hyeon’s threat.

“Two. One. Nobody’s here?”

It remained quiet.

“Fine. Then let’s leave.”

Kang Hyeon strongly gripped his hand, and,

-Paang!

The main core burst under his strength.

[The dungeon’s Main Core has been removed]

[A portal leading outside will open]

A blue portal appeared in front of Kang Hyeon and Han Se-yeon.

“Let’s get out quickly. Ah! I need to shower as soon as we get out. I feel so gross…”

Kang Hyeon, who was muttering while walking toward the portal, suddenly stopped.

“What…?”

There were various experiments in the boss room, but the most noticeable were the monsters sleeping in huge glass tubes.

“Ha… We’re screwed.”

They were all staring at Kang Hyeon with their eyes open simultaneously.

“Good work.”

And someone appears.

The one who appeared with a clicking sound was a skeleton.

“Again? Again!? Again! You insufferable bastards!”

The name Dakiran floating above the skeleton’s head indicated it was the dungeon’s boss.

“I don’t know what you mean.”

Dakiran, who had been a researcher, realized he was trapped in a certain space (dungeon).

And the moment the main core over there was destroyed, this space would collapse.

However, due to some restrictions, he couldn’t do it himself.

Then the raid team entered.

As soon as he saw the raid team, a brilliant plan formed in Dakiran’s mind.

-I can use them.

If he couldn’t destroy it himself, he could make others do it.

So Dakiran placed additional restrictions on himself to prevent movement and quietly waited for the raid team.

“Thanks to your stupidity, I can finally get out.”

“Sigh… Let’s settle this outside, bastard.”

Anyway, Kang Hyeon had to get out of the dungeon.

Fighting in a collapsing dungeon could lead to complete annihilation.

It seemed safer and more likely to succeed if they fought the boss with the raid team waiting outside.

-Hwak!

As light spread before his eyes and his body felt lifted, when he opened his eyes again, he was already outside the dungeon.

“Huh..?”

Kang Hyeon’s jaw dropped at the scene before him.

“What’s going on…?”

-Kwagwagwang!

Bombs exploded, and gunfire was endless.

-Skeuk!

“Kuaaaa!”

After Yoon Na-rae and Ahn Yu-seong joined, an army equipped with magic stone weapons also joined the battle.

But Gattu Asas didn’t give an inch.

-Kwaang!

It was a sword that could slice through buildings in one strike from the beginning.

No matter if they wore cutting-edge anti-sword suits or armored tanks with thick, hard steel plates.

“Die.”

It was all meaningless.

Everything was cleanly cut whenever Gattu Asas swung his sword.

“Damn! We need to retreat the army even now!”

Harsh words spilled from Shin Seong-ah’s mouth.

“What should we do!?”

“We have no way to contact them.”

But this was right next to an A-grade dungeon.

Electronic devices were unusable due to the magic power emanating from the dungeon.

While they worried, Gattu Asas was beheading people in real-time.

Not even 10 minutes had passed, but already there were more dead soldiers than standing ones.

-Drrrrrrrr…

The bigger problem was that new armies kept pouring in, unaware of this fact.

“It’s just increasing meaningless deaths…”

This devil wasn’t something that could be dealt with by mere numbers.

Pushing more troops in here was literally suicidal.

“We need to step in.”

When Shin Seong-ah spoke, Yoon Na-rae turned to look at her.

“Can we handle it?”

“Even if we can’t, we must.”

They had already clashed with Gattu Asas once.

The result was a complete defeat.

If the army hadn’t intervened, the three gathered here would no longer be in this world.

“Your wounds haven’t healed yet.”

“We can’t just watch so many people die meaninglessly.”

That’s when it happened.

“What…?”

Suddenly, tremendous magic power began flowing from the direction of the dungeon.

And the dungeon door slowly opening.

“The dungeon was cleared..?”

The first person to come out was a celebrity everyone knew well.

Kang Hyeon, who came out of the dungeon, scratched his head.

“What’s going on…?”
