I Alone Resurrect Chapter 191

A Truly Strong One (1)

“Tsk tsk. I knew it from the moment you started showing off.”

“Haa… How can you joke in this situation?”

Han Se-yeon said while catching her breath.

“That’s enough, go over there.”

“Over there?”

Looking where Kang Hyeon pointed, there was an undead flying in the sky.

The magic it threw exploded like fireworks, creating a spectacular light show with thunderous sounds.

“Go check that out since it’s dangerous too. I’ll hold this one off alone.”

“This opponent isn’t someone you can face with such bravado!”

Gattu Asas walked over while dusting off the armor that Kang Hyeon had hit.

Watching him, Han Se-yeon shouted.

“Let’s somehow take him down together…”

“How exactly do you plan to take him down?”

“That’s…”

“Just go already. You sure talk a lot. There’s such thing as compatibility, you know?”

“…”

“I know best so hurry up and go. Go recover and deal with that side. Then you can come back and help, right?”

“There’s no guarantee you can hold out until then.”

“If worst comes to worst, I’ll just die. I can revive anyway, right?”

With Kang Hyeon going this far, she had nothing to say.

Han Se-yeon stood up and glared at Kang Hyeon.

“Don’t die and wait for me.”

“Worry about yourself.”

Just as Han Se-yeon was about to rush off,

“Meaningless conversation. You’ll all die here anyway.”

Gattu Asas swung his sword at incredible speed, sending magical power in her direction.

-Swish!

Magical power that cut through everything in its path flew towards them.

-Bang!

Kang Hyeon deflected Gattu’s black magical power with his hammer wrapped in magical power.

“You’ll be the one dying soon. A dying man sure talks big.”

Gattu and Kang Hyeon glared at each other in silence.

‘Now what do I do…’

Though he spoke confidently to Han Se-yeon, honestly, Kang Hyeon had no solution either.

-There’s such a thing as compatibility, you know?

The talk about compatibility was just something he said randomly.

‘As if that exists, damn it.’

If anything, one could say this was actually a bad matchup for him.

“Are you going to keep standing there?”

Gattu asked Kang Hyeon.

“What else? Want to start right now? You’re recovering from your injuries too, aren’t you?”

At Kang Hyeon’s response, Gattu Asas clenched his teeth.

“Interesting. You think I’m stalling for time? Against the likes of you?”

“Aren’t you?”

“I’ll kill you.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Gattu Asas charged forward.

Kang Hyeon drew out Bilgein’s longsword.

He judged that using the heavy hammer against such a swift opponent would be difficult.

‘Upper left?’

Just as he was about to block the predicted sword path, Veil, who was sleeping in the sword, shouted.

-Abandon the naive thought that attacks come from one direction! The opponent is a monster.

‘What?’

As soon as Veil finished speaking, Kang Hyeon could understand its meaning.

-Swoosh!

Swords flew from all directions.

In an instant, dozens of sword marks appeared on Kang Hyeon’s body.

If Gattu’s attacks had contained magical power, it wouldn’t have been strange to lose his life in this exchange.

“This is!”

Kang Hyeon swung his sword with all his might, pouring in magical power.

“You can’t even control your own power yet.”

Gattu sneered while easily dodging Kang Hyeon’s sword.

‘What should I do?’

Kang Hyeon asked Veil internally.

-The opponent far surpasses my swordsmanship from when I was human. Asking me won’t help at all.

‘Haa…’

-Fight like yourself. That’s the only answer to solving this situation.

‘Like myself…’

Suddenly being told to fight like himself.

Kang Hyeon didn’t know how to interpret those words.

Meanwhile, Gattu’s attacks continued without stopping.

-Swoosh!

Thus wounds appeared all over Kang Hyeon’s body, healed, and appeared again.

This process continued for quite a while.

“You’re a tough one. Even more than a troll.”

Gattu spoke as if disgusted.

“Is that a compliment?”

Kang Hyeon answered with a grin.

‘I can’t keep taking hits like this forever.’

If this stalemate continues, he would run out of magical power first.

This was because Gattu was deliberately limiting his magical power usage while attacking Kang Hyeon.

‘How’s the other side?’

Kang Hyeon glanced over at where the battle with Dakiran was taking place.

There, Han Se-yeon, the dungeon raid party, Badass Guild members, and even the army were fighting together, but they seemed to be at a disadvantage.

‘Can’t expect help. I need to somehow resolve this here.’

Even as Kang Hyeon pondered, wounds kept appearing and disappearing on his body endlessly.

‘If I could just create enough time to drink a magic potion…’

It was then that Kang Hyeon thought this.

[Skill Advanced Bodily Regeneration’s grade increases]

[Skill evolves to match the body changed by magical power]

[Acquired skill Magical Physical Regeneration]

[Acquired title ‘First S-Grade Skill Acquirer’]

Suddenly gaining a skill and title.

Kang Hyeon pondered how to deal with this situation.

“Uh… Sweet…?”

Even while swinging his sword at Kang Hyeon, Gattu Asas’s mind was racing.

‘In many ways, it’s hard to see him as human.’

When he was first hit by Kang Hyeon’s surprise attack and sent flying.

Gattu Asas’s bones had cracked, and they still hadn’t completely healed.

Physical strength that far surpassed normal humans.

That alone made him monstrous, but what was even more extraordinary was his recovery ability.

‘Is this human’s mother a troll or something?’

Adding a bit of exaggeration, his recovery ability seemed better than most trolls.

That’s not all.

His skin was so tough that even an ogre’s hide would be softer than this.

‘If I use magic power, I could end this quickly but…’

Now was the time to gather as much magic power as possible.

In reality, Gattu Asas was recovering magic power little by little while fighting against Kang Hyeon.

‘Rather than making careless moves and giving him an opening, maintaining the current situation is the best choice.’

There must be a limit to how much Kang Hyeon can recover anyway.

In fact, his magic power was much lower than at the start.

Soon Kang Hyeon’s magic power will run out, and when his recovery ability drops, Kang Hyeon will naturally die.

After that, he would deal with Dakiran with his fully recovered magic power and leisurely escape from this place.

Then everything would be resolved.

‘Hmm..?’

But the situation changed.

Suddenly, Kang Hyeon’s momentum changed.

‘What is he doing?’

He showed a surprised expression while looking at the air, then started grinning again.

Like someone who had lost their mind.

‘I don’t know why… But he’s gotten a bit stronger.’

He could feel it instinctively.

That human standing there. That Kang Hyeon had become stronger.

Although his magic power hadn’t changed, he could still tell.

That’s when Kang Hyeon looked at him and grinned.

“Shall we start round 2?”

Gattu didn’t answer and adjusted his stance.

‘I’ll have to use a little magic power after all.’

He planned to create maximum efficiency with minimum usage.

He could do that.

-Kwang!

Kang Hyeon started running after kicking the ground.

‘No matter how monstrous his physical abilities are…’

Gattu’s eyes glowed and his sword shot out like lightning.

-Chwak!

Kang Hyeon tried to dodge the attack by twisting his whole body but.

‘In front of techniques pushed to the extreme, it means nothing.’

In the end, his entire arm was cut off.

A heavy thud sound rang out as Kang Hyeon’s arm fell to the ground.

“Ah…”

Kang Hyeon stared at it with his mouth open.

“Your right arm is cut off. It’s over now.”

The match was as good as finished here.

That’s when Kang Hyeon picked up his fallen arm.

And then he placed it against the wound.

“Kahaha!”

Gattu laughed out loud for the first time.

“No matter how troll-like your physical abilities are, that’s impossible. Unless a top-class healer uses magic to reattach it…”

Gattu Asas stopped speaking.

Because tentacle-like bizarre things connected from Kang Hyeon’s wound surface, and sealed the wound just like that.

“Uh…”

Moreover, within seconds of reattaching it, Kang Hyeon was moving his hand freely.

“Oh, this works?”

“…”

“Honestly, I didn’t know if it would work either. Hahahaha!”

Gattu Asas didn’t know how to take this.

‘Calm down. It’s just that his recovery ability got a bit better.’

Whether it’s right to express that phenomenon as ‘just’ and ‘a bit’ is questionable, but anyway, it’s recovery ability.

It’s not like this has made Kang Hyeon’s actual combat power stronger.

‘I’ll slice up his whole body until he can’t recover.’

Gattu Asas adjusted his stance and swung his sword again.

Movements sharper and more agile than before.

And it contained powerful magic power too.

-Chwaaak!

Once again numerous wounds appeared on Kang Hyeon’s body and blood sprayed everywhere.

However, Kang Hyeon didn’t stop running.

“Hmph.”

Gattu Asas sneered.

Because what Kang Hyeon was trying to do was too obvious.

Trusting in his recovery ability, he’s trying to get close somehow and turn this into a slugfest.

There he would use his confident physical strength to decide the match.

‘It’s not a bad strategy but…’

It’s a method that would only work against opponents of similar skill level.

He had already surpassed the level where such things would work on him.

Even if Kang Hyeon got closer, he would never let himself be caught by his hands.

He would slowly circle around him while cutting off his limbs, and then thrust his sword into the heart of what remained of his torso.

-Chwak!

Once again Kang Hyeon’s body was cut and blood dripped down.

“Almost there.”

Kang Hyeon grinning at him like a demon.

“Just take one hit!”

As expected, Kang Hyeon quickly reached out his hand toward him.

“Useless.”

Gattu Asas quickly swung his sword and cut off Kang Hyeon’s arm.

Thanks to the powerful magic power coating it, Kang Hyeon’s arm was helplessly cut off and flew through the air.

“That was a feint, bastard!”

“…!”

Then Kang Hyeon’s fist came flying again.

It was already too late to dodge.

Gattu Asas folded his arms to block Kang Hyeon’s fist.

‘Just one punch like this…’

That was as far as Gattu’s thought went.

-Kwaaaaaang!

Gattu’s armor exploded outward from Kang Hyeon’s punch, and bones scattered everywhere.

“Whew…”

Kang Hyeon sighed and picked up his severed left arm to reattach it to his body.

“I told you one hit would be enough.”

Kang Hyeon trudged toward Gattu Asas’s skull.

“Ugh… This really hurts a lot.”

Due to using Warrior’s Death, his whole body felt like it was about to break.

Gattu, whose spine was completely severed at the center, was barely crawling on the ground using just his arms.

“Just what…”

Kang Hyeon looked at Gattu Asas while crouching down.

“Tell me. It’s your final moment anyway, so I’ll listen.”

“What… Are you…”

“What am I?”

At the question about his identity, Kang Hyeon rubbed his chin in thought before smiling.

“What else? Just someone stronger than you.”

“That…!”

Gattu Asas tried to say something, but,

-Crack!

His skull shattered under Kang Hyeon’s fist before he could finish his words.
