I Alone Resurrect Chapter 221
The Legendary Knight (5)
“A knight of the Lihendren Empire. I am Vinus Karon.”
Vinus Karon introduced himself with a confident attitude.
The gazes of everyone around him were focused on him.
“Umm… Guild leader of the Badass Guild. I’m Kang Hyeon.”
Feeling like he should step forward and greet him, Kang Hyeon extended his hand.
“…”
With expressionless faces, Kang Hyeon and Vinus Karon shook hands and looked at each other.
“Olien. Could you explain where you met this Camel person and why you brought him here?”
“It’s Karon.”
“Right. Karon.”
Olien nodded at Kang Hyeon’s words.
“I was in Busan with Garnet when Karon suddenly approached me.”
“In Busan?”
“Yes. Kang Hyeon might not know, but Vinus Karon is a very famous knight from the dimension where I was. There are over a hundred historians who have written about Karon.”
As Olien’s story continued, Kang Hyeon’s expression gradually stiffened.
“A historian? What do you mean?”
“Oh, Vinus Karon was active about 600 years ago.”
“Is that so…?”
A person from 600 years ago.
In other words, not human.
Because a person cannot live for 600 years.
Kang Hyeon slowly backed away, warily watching Vinus Karon.
“So, a ghost who died 600 years ago suddenly spoke to you?”
Shin Tae-gil had said there was an unprecedented powerful magic response in Busan.
Along with the statement that it was most likely an S-class dungeon.
Kang Hyeon suddenly remembered something.
‘When was it… The administrator said something like this. Dungeons are created based on the past Harken dimension.’
It was probably when he died with Bandarenko.
Kang Hyeon had asked the administrator about dungeons at that time.
-Does this mean the dungeon is created based on the Harken dimension?
-Yes. More precisely, the past Harken dimension.
A dungeon created based on the past Harken dimension.
Then the identity of this 600-year-old ghost in front of him is…
‘A being from an S-class dungeon. Moreover, the dungeon’s boss.’
As Kang Hyeon took a defensive stance, the atmosphere rapidly froze.
“Kang, Hyeon? What’s wrong all of a sudden?”
“Olien. You step back too.”
“Wait a moment. Kang Hyeon. There seems to be a misunderstanding. This person has agreed to help us.”
“How can you believe that? Can you be sure this man is not an enemy?”
“Well…”
As Olien hesitated, Vinus Karon stepped forward.
“Are you trying to disregard a knight’s honor? I take responsibility for any words I speak.”
“Your words sound grand. Then tell me, why are you suddenly helping us? You, a human who died 600 years ago.”
“To take responsibility for my actions.”
“Taking responsibility… Just to be sure, do you know how you were revived?”
“No.”
“You are a dungeon boss. Moreover, the boss of the most dangerous S-class dungeon that has appeared so far.”
Everyone wore an expression of shock at Kang Hyeon’s words.
“What do you mean? This knight is a dungeon boss?”
Han Se-yeon asked Kang Hyeon in an urgent voice.
While her gaze remained fixed on Vinus Karon, she cautiously moved her hand towards the sword’s hilt.
“I’m not entirely sure, but it’s about 99%. Team Leader Shin Tae-gil said there was a magic response suspected to be an S-class dungeon in Busan this time. And then, just like that, a 600-year-old human from the Harken dimension suddenly appears? At this point, there’s nothing more to see.”
As Kang Hyeon’s explanation continued, a look of wariness emerged in everyone’s eyes.
“Hmm… It seems the words of this man named Kang Hyeon are correct.”
Suddenly, Vinus Karon nodded and agreed with Kang Hyeon.
“I’ve already heard about dungeons from the princess. And I thought that my resurrection might be because of that dungeon.”
“…”
“Hearing your story, it seems almost certain.”
Vinus Karon’s words drove the final nail.
As everyone present tensed their entire body and emitted an intense atmosphere, the air seemed to sink heavily.
At that moment, Vinus Karon spoke again.
“However, I am different from the monsters you speak of.”
“How are you different?”
“Because I came from a dungeon, I can say this with certainty. When I was there, I felt an overwhelming, blind murderous intent. At the same time, I thought I had to protect the massive magic mass at the dungeon’s core.”
Vinus Karon was talking about the instinct that all dungeon beings possess.
Murderous intent towards humans.
And the need to protect the core.
“The monsters you’ve encountered so far were probably swept up in those emotions.”
“But you are not?”
Vinus Karon nodded at Kang Hyeon’s question.
“I am the last knight of the Lihendren Empire. I am Vinus Karon.”
Vinus Karon slowly walked towards Kang Hyeon and looked him directly in the eyes.
“The only one who can give me orders is the Emperor of the Empire.”
The two men stared at each other from a distance close enough to touch.
“…”
Kang Hyeon was the first to turn away.
“This is beyond the Holy One’s concept.”
Kang Hyeon chuckled and scratched his head.
“Whew… I don’t know either. Just do well. But…”
Kang Hyeon looked at Vinus Karon with gleaming eyes.
“You need to stay focused. If I even see a hint of misbehavior, your head will fly right off.”
“Do not worry. I simply want to somewhat undo the mistakes my country and I have committed in the past.”
“Tch. What a way to put it…”
Kang Hyeon, with a wrinkled expression, took a step back from Vinus Karon.
As the situation seemed to settle, everyone let out a deep sigh.
‘I’m not sure if this is the right thing to do.’
Kang Hyeon was confused about how to deal with Vinus Karon.
‘A dungeon monster is going to help us? Does that make sense?’
But the Vinus Karon before him seemed to pose no problems at all.
‘If he were weaker, I would keep him with me and monitor him…’
Kang Hyeon was certain.
Controlling Vinus Karon was impossible.
After the battle with Dera Asas.
The situation was several times stronger than before, but he couldn’t guarantee the outcome if he were to fight Vinus Karon again.
‘Perhaps… With a high probability, I would lose.’
A human with at least Asas-level combat capability.
Bringing him along would certainly be advantageous, but at any moment, everyone could die.
‘Can’t be helped. I’ll have to monitor him as much as possible while preventing him from being with the others…’
Just as Kang Hyeon was organizing his thoughts.
“Kang Hyeon!”
Suddenly, the door opened and someone entered.
“Oh, Shin Tae-gil. What’s the matter?”
“Why haven’t you been responding to contact?!”
“I’ve been a bit busy. What’s going on?”
“Right now, being so carefree…”
As Shin Tae-gil was speaking, he closed his mouth and carefully looked around.
He had sensed that the atmosphere was unusual.
“What happened here…?”

After hearing the entire story, Shin Tae-gil fell deep in thought with a serious expression.
“For now… It seems certain that this Vinus Karon was from the dungeon.”
“That’s right.”
Kang Hyeon leaned back in his chair and gulped down beer.
“Alright, if you understand the situation, tell me what you were going to say. If I let this noble knight talk more, my head might explode.”
At Kang Hyeon’s words, Shin Tae-gil scratched his head.
‘The situation here seems more serious than what I was going to say…’
But since Kang Hyeon said he would handle this situation, he decided to let it go.
‘It’ll be uncontrollable anyway.’
A boss from an S-grade dungeon.
At the current point where they couldn’t even clear an A-grade dungeon, Vinus Karon’s existence was completely out of specification.
Shin Tae-gil decided to focus on the immediate issue that needed solving.
“An incident has occurred in North Korea.”
“What kind of incident?”
“Approximately five undead estimated to be Kullsa-grade, and the massive undead legion they’ve brought along are randomly breaking dungeons.”
“Hmm… Breaking dungeons would mean causing a Dungeon Break?”
“Yes. But the nature is somewhat different from what happened in Korea in the past. It’s a much more serious situation.”
Shin Tae-gil settled with a heavy, dark expression.
As the atmosphere became tense, everyone looked at Shin Tae-gil, waiting for his next words.
“The suspected Kulsa are controlling monsters from the dungeons to create an army. They even have several B-grade dungeons included.”
“Hmm…”
Everyone moaned softly at Shin Tae-gil’s words.
“It’s definitely not an ordinary situation.”
Even a single Kulsa-grade was comparable in danger level to an average B-grade dungeon.
And now, not only are several of them gathered, but they are also expanding their forces.
“What’s the exact location?”
“It’s rapidly spreading centered around Cheorwon in North Korea. It has already spread to a point where it’s impossible to control even with the existing North Korean military and ability users, which is why I urgently sought out Kang Hyeon.”
Kang Hyeon nodded after hearing the story.
“Can’t be helped. I was trying to rest a bit.”
“I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s fine. I had something I wanted to do anyway.”
Kang Hyeon intended to properly understand and apply his newly acquired abilities in practice.
North Korea was the perfect stage for that.
“Han Se-hee and I will also go.”
Han Se-yeon raised her hand at that moment.
“Ah! Thank you.”
Shin Tae-gil’s face visibly brightened at Han Se-yeon’s participation.
Her involvement would definitely significantly increase their combat strength.
“When should we move?”
“The faster, the better.”
“Then let’s go right away.”
As Kang Hyeon nodded and was about to get up from his seat.
“I have something I want to ask.”
Vinus Karon, who had been quietly listening, interjected.
“I don’t understand the unfamiliar language well, but it seems these immortals have launched an attack… Is that correct?”
“That’s right.”
At Kang Hyeon’s response, Vinus Karon clenched his fist.
“Then I want to help as well.”

Runo Kulsa.
He was one of the five Kulsa who had infiltrated North Korea this time.
“Smooth.”
The five Kulsa, including Luno Kulsa, were those who had crossed over from China.
Soon the conquest of China would end, and they would turn their army towards Korea.
They had come down to shake up the Republic of Korea from the rear in preparation for that time.
“Is the next destination over there?”
Runo Kulsa gazed at the urban area of Yeoncheon County in the distance.
“Such a futile act…”
Although quite far away, he could see the military base of humans moving busily.
They were probably making their preparations, but it would be useless anyway.
Before the army could arrive, he would cast a large-scale magic to shake things up, and it was obvious that humans would be unable to do anything.
“Kyaaaaa!”
It was then.
A monster corps on one side began to make weird screams.
And the subsequent battle noise.
“Is this… Really human?”
Although there was considerable distance, a powerful magical power was being felt.
“Who is it? Humans cannot possibly have such magical power…”
The magical power felt was from multiple sources, but among them, two were particularly powerful.
At least equivalent to his own magical power.
“Hmm…”
Runo Kulsa fell into contemplation.
Should he trust the corps here and deal with them?
Or should he escape alone?
His mind was telling him that escaping was right, but his pride would not allow it.
If he fled without properly finishing this task, the other Kulsa would surely mock him.
Moreover, above all, he would not be able to forgive himself.
‘Luno Kulsa running away because of human magical power…?’
After all, humans are just humans.
Having lived for hundreds of years, accumulating magical power and practicing magic, they were incomparable to themselves.
“You must be the Kulsa.”
At that moment.
A familiar language woke Runo Kulsa from his reverie.
“This is the dimension common language. And quite an ancient one.”
“What meaning does that have in the current situation?”
A human walking towards him.
A nostalgic heavy armor typically worn by high-ranking humans on the Harken Continent.
‘His magical power is extraordinary.’
The two powerful magical powers he had initially felt.
This was definitely one of them.
‘Moreover, a knight who does not use magic…’
Knights find it much harder to accumulate magical power compared to wizards.
Yet if he had such magical power, he must have undergone tremendous training.
Furthermore, in a one-on-one situation, knights often show much stronger capabilities than wizards.
‘This is not the time to maintain my pride. I should escape first.’
Looking at the situation, fighting this human seemed impossible.
“I am a knight of the Lihendren Empire. Vinus Karon.”
At the name Vinus Karon, Runo Kulsa was startled.
“I have no name to reveal to a mere human.”
He spoke as calmly as possible.
But he felt an illusion as if his heart, which had stopped hundreds of years ago, was beating again.
‘Is it really Vinus Karon!?’
About 600 years ago, Runo Kulsa had participated in the continental unification war of the Lihendren Empire as a wizard.
There, he had actually seen Vinus Karon.
‘This can’t be. He must have died…’
If the person standing there was truly Vinus Karon, he needed to flee immediately.
‘For now, I’ll return and report this situation.’
There was no reason to engage in unnecessary gambling.
Runo Kulsa began to deploy magic to escape from here.
“How unfortunate that you won’t reveal your name.”
At that moment, he saw Vinus Karon placing his hand on the sword’s hilt.
Runo Kulsa immediately deployed a maximum output magical power shield and quickly threw his body backward.
“Die.”
Simultaneously, Vinus Karon’s sword was swung.
-Chaeak!
As magical power shot like light rays, it felt as if the world was splitting in two.
“You, it really was… An honor… i…”
Neatly sliced from the top of his head to his tailbone, Runo Kulsa slowly fell to the ground.
