I Alone Resurrect Chapter 212
Dera Asas (2)
A Tokyo subway station that would have been packed with people in the past.Â
The subway station of Tokyo, which could be called one of the central hubs of modern human civilization, had now become a resting place for the dead.
A scene where countless corpses rotted and emitted a putrid smell as if showcasing their existence.
It was a grotesque production that was no less than a classic horror movie.
“Whew… Tough bastard.”
Kang Hyeon, who had dismantled the giant centipede undead, spat on the ground.
“How does this seem endless?”
The undead centipede continued to pour into the station no matter how many times he destroyed it, as if composed of an infinite number of corpses.
After destroying all of them, corpses were scattered so densely that there was no space to step.
Kang Hyeon frowned at the terrible smell rising from all directions.
“This is unbearable. Let’s go outside and get some fresh air.”
Yoon Na-rae said with an exhausted face.
Although the smell of decay was also present outside the city, it would at least be better than this stuffy underground.
Kang Hyeon nodded at her words.
“Yeah. Go outside you and Shin Seong-ah.”
“Eh?”
Yoon Na-rae was surprised that he agreed so easily.
“Just the two of us?”
“Yeah.”
“What are you thinking, Kang Hyeon?”
In response to Shin Seong-ah’s question, Kang Hyeon nodded.
“Maybe you’d call it intuition? Somehow, if we keep going in the direction we went earlier, we’ll find Dera Asas. I have a feeling he’s there.”
Thinking about it, he should have suspected the underground from the beginning.
They had thoroughly searched most of Tokyo over the past few days.
If they hadn’t discovered any trace at all, then the search direction was wrong from the start.
“Fewer corpses as we approach the center. And the sudden appearance of these unfamiliar human-like centipedes. Doesn’t something seem to fit?”
“Hmm… I’m not quite sure.”
“I’m telling you I’m right. My intuition is saying that. He’s there.”
At Kang Hyeon’s words, Yoon Na-rae pouted her lips.
“Do you have some kind of supernatural intuition skill, Guild Leader? Talking about intuition in a situation like this.”
“I don’t know. Anyway, we have no other options. I’ll cause a disturbance, so you two hide in the chaos. If you can survive until morning, you’ll manage somehow.”
Yoon Na-rae and Shin Seong-ah fell silent, deep in thought.
“Why are you thinking so much? Do you have any other method?”
“Can’t we just move together like now?”
To Shin Seong-ah’s question, Kang Hyeon shook his head.
“You can’t even fight properly in such a narrow space. It’s easier to be alone.”
“That doesn’t sound like something someone who was almost eaten by a centipede would say…”
“Shh! Stop complaining and go if I say go.”
“Tch. Understood. Don’t regret it later.”
“You’re the one who shouldn’t die outside. If you turn into an undead, I’ll smash you without hesitation.”
“That won’t happen!”
“Anyway, you and your attitude…”
He flicked Yoon Na-rae’s forehead and descended below the railroad tracks.
“Wait here a bit longer. When chaos breaks out, carefully escape. Understand?”
“Yes…”
Shin Seong-ah nodded with a dark expression.
“Be careful, Kang Hyeon.”
“Don’t worry about me. You be careful. I’ll just come back to life even if I die, you know?”
“Even so…”
“Enough. Just escape well and guide the support team to where I am when they arrive tomorrow morning. Got it?”
“Yes.”
“Then I trust you and go.”
“Be careful, Kang Hyeon…”
But Shin Seong-ah couldn’t finish her sentence, as Kang Hyeon had already deeply entered the railroad tracks.

Kang Hyeon walked without hesitation.
Continuously releasing magical power to announce his presence.
He didn’t forget to throw magical spheres around to create chaos.
He ruthlessly smashed any undead he encountered, even deliberately visiting places where they gathered.
“Whew…”
Fighting in an area with little oxygen, breathing air almost like poison, was extremely exhausting.
It was clear that without Kang Hyeon’s poison resistance ability, it would have been much more difficult.
At that moment:
[Poison Resistance Skill Level Increases]
“What!? What’s happening?”
The poison resistance, which had been stuck at D-rank for a very long time, finally rose to C-rank.
It seemed the level increase was due to the accumulated experience points and prolonged exposure to various poisons.
“Great. I feel like it’s become a bit easier?”
Perhaps it was just his imagination, but his breathing felt more comfortable.
“I’ll keep going.”
He had just destroyed hundreds of undead and only taken a few minutes to catch his breath.
But Kang Hyeon did not stop.
“With magic potions, I can endure anything.”
His current physical body far exceeded that of a normal human.
With sufficient magical power, he could instantly heal any wound.
He still had many magic potions in his inventory, so he could definitely endure.
“After this battle, I’ll just rest, eating nothing but beer and beef for a while.”
But the real problem wasn’t physical, but mental.
The dark, damp underground.
Life-or-death battles with grotesque creatures.
He hadn’t properly slept for days while continuing this.
Moreover, due to Kang Hyeon’s extremely aggressive fighting style, his fatigue accumulated much faster than others.
All of these factors collectively pressured his mental state.
Another ability user, even with similar physical capabilities, might have given up long ago.
“Let’s go! I can rest after I’m done!”
But Kang Hyeon was different.
‘This fatigue… Compared to when I died every day in the tutorial without doing anything, this is nothing. At least now I can do something with my own power.’
Kang Hyeon’s mentality, trained in a way unimaginable to others, was almost half-crazy under normal circumstances.
Such a crazy mental state revealed its true value in situations like this.
“I want to hit level 100 soon. I wonder if something will change then.”
Muttering nonsensical words, Kang Hyeon continued moving forward.

Some time passed.
Kang Hyeon passed through several more stations.
While consistently destroying undead hordes and moving to the next station, something caught his intuition.
“Something feels off…”
There was a place with significantly less magical power compared to other locations.
On the surface, he might not have noticed such a subtle difference.
But being in the same underground area, he could detect this slight nuance.
“Found you, you bastard.”
Confident his hypothesis was correct, Kang Hyeon grinned.
“Is this the place?”
Moments later.
Kang Hyeon finally reached the problematic location.
At the same time, he was certain Dera Asas was here.
“What kind of magic is this?”
Though invisible, he definitely felt a magical barrier.
When he reached out to touch the barrier, he passed through without issue.
“Let’s go in.”
After confirming everything was normal, Kang Hyeon immediately pushed himself through the barrier.
In that instant, an enormous magical power descended, overwhelming him.
“Bingo.”
A magical power that cannot be forgotten even if one tries.
The Dera Asas encountered in Nagoya City.
It was definitely his magical power.
“Are you alone?”
At that moment, a heavy voice rang in Kang Hyeon’s head.
“Yeah, solo.”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“You’re no fun.”
Kang Hyeon chuckled and walked towards Dera Asas.
Dera Asas sat on a massive bone throne created high up, like a king.
Around him stood various types of undead, each seeming to possess high-level magical power.
“Comfortable?”
“If you existed for over a thousand years, life would inevitably become comfortable.”
“You sound like an old man.”
At Kang Hyeon’s words, Dera Asas clicked his jawbone.
For an undead, this was his way of laughing.
“An old man. Accurate expression.”
Dera Asas tapped his skull with bone-white fingers.
“I’m curious about something.”
“Ask comfortably. I have plenty of time.”
“How did you handle Gattu Asas? Even after watching your battles, I still don’t understand. You could never defeat Gattu Asas.”
At Dera Asas’s question, Kang Hyeon chuckled.
“You’re subtly trying to probe. Don’t you know that ultimate techniques are always kept in reserve?”
“You’re right. If I’m curious, I’ll experience it myself.”
Dera Asas slowly rose from his seat.
“But it’s best to minimize variables.”
As he picked up his staff, Kang Hyeon heightened his entire body’s tension, ready to respond at any moment.
“Come out.”
Dera Asas struck his staff on the ground.
-BOOM!
The ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred, and the floor began to crack.
“What is this?”
“I’ve prepared quite carefully while you were coming. Now, you can’t find such abundant corpses in the Harken dimension. Thanks to that, it’s been quite enjoyable.”
Between the cracked ground, a magical power comparable to Dera Asas could be felt.
“Haaa… This is going to be exhausting.”
Kang Hyeon sensed something bad was about to happen.
“KIEEEEK!”
An unidentified something’s scream made the entire underground vibrate.
And slowly, it began to reveal itself.
“What is that… Skull Draymon..?”
Its appearance reminded him of an old cartoon movie.
It was a ‘Bone Dragon’.

Shin Seong-ah and Yoon Na-rae were hiding in a building, having escaped the underground.
Perhaps because Kang Hyeon was drawing so much attention, the number of undead filling the roads had significantly decreased.
-KWANG… KWANG…!
The faint but distinct sounds of battle.
Shin Seong-ah and Yoon Na-rae crouched powerlessly, silent.
‘6 AM. Three hours until the support team arrives.’
Shin Seong-ah, after checking the time, sighed.
“Is something wrong?”
“It’s nothing…”
After a brief conversation, silence resumed.
The two sat quietly for a long time.
Suddenly, Shin Seong-ah stood up.
“Isn’t something strange?”
“What?”
“The noise has stopped.”
While there had been brief interruptions before, the battle had never stopped for this long.
“Come to think of it… It is strange.”
A heavy silence, like the calm before a storm, pressed down on the entire city.
“It seems Kang Hyeon has found Dera Asas.”
At that moment Shin Seong-ah spoke, an enormous magical power began erupting from Tokyo’s center.
“What is this!?”
The ground trembled, and the erupting magical power announced its presence across the entire city.
Shin Seong-ah and Yoon Na-rae shook, experiencing an unprecedented powerful magical force.
“What time is it?”
“8 o’clock!”
One hour remains before support arrives.
“I think I must go.”
“What!?”
“Yoon Na-rae, please wait here and guide the support team.”
“Wait a moment!”
Shin Seong-ah ran out of the building without waiting for Yoon Na-rae’s response.
‘I absolutely won’t let him die alone.’
Shin Seong-ah clenched her fist, as if trying to steady her trembling body.
