I Alone Resurrect Chapter 228
American Necromancer (3)
“So… You want me to raise a Death Knight?”
At Ariana Ward’s cabin.
Kang Hyeon and his group were having a conversation over simple tea.
“It’s not about raising a Death Knight…”
“In other words, you want me to transfer the soul sleeping in this sword and turn it into an undead knight, right?”
“That’s right!”
“No way.”
Ariana Ward immediately cut off Kang Hyeon’s proposal.
“Why?”
“It’s too difficult. It’s barely manageable with my current abilities. The success rate might improve with good materials, but those aren’t easy to obtain.”
“Hmm… Still, tell me what you need first.”
At Kang Hyeon’s words, Ariana Ward furrowed her delicate eyebrows.
“First, I need a soul stone. And it needs to be of quite a high grade. At least C-grade to make a stable attempt.”
Soul stones were extremely rare.
Especially higher-grade stones.
She remembered purchasing a soul stone through Choi Si-hyeon, whom she happened to know.
“Here it is. It’s B+ grade, so it’s sufficient, right?”
“What…?”
Ariana Ward opened her mouth as she saw the soul stone falling on the table.
‘It really is B+ grade…?’
The highest soul stone she had seen before was B-grade.
The fact that he was casually taking out and using a B+ grade stone made her heart ache.
‘To use something like this for something like this! With a soul stone of this caliber, you could make a much more magnificent undead…’
“What’s wrong?”
In response to Kang Hyeon’s question, Ariana Ward quickly shook her head.
“Oh, it’s nothing! This will be sufficient!”
“Right?”
“But this alone won’t be enough.”
“What else do you need?”
“I need a magic stone with incredibly powerful magic power. That way, the success rate increases and you can create a stronger undead.”
“A magic stone? How good does it need to be?”
“At least a magic stone from a B-grade dungeon boss. Of course, if there was an A-grade boss’s magic stone, that would be better, but that’s practically impossible to obtain.”
“Wait a moment.”
At Ariana Ward’s words, Kang Hyeon rummaged through his inventory.
“Will this work?”
A massive magic stone dropped onto the table.
“W-what is this…?”
“A Bone Dragon magic stone.”
“…”
Ariana Ward closed her mouth tight.
‘I’ve never seen anything like this before…’
It was undoubtedly the most outstanding magic stone she had ever seen.
‘I haven’t even seen an A-grade boss’s magic stone yet…’
Rumors were that A-grade dungeon bosses possessed unimaginably tremendous magical power.
But Ariana Ward was certain.
No matter how powerful an A-grade boss was, they couldn’t possess a magic stone more outstanding than this.
‘This is completely on a different dimension!!!’
It was right when Ariana Ward was screaming internally.
“Will this work?”
“Yes! Yes, it will!”
She nodded her head vigorously, her eyes sparkling.
‘The ultimate masterpiece will be born!’
The thought of creating an undead she had never been able to create before made Ariana Ward’s body burn with excitement.
‘Hehe. What should I prepare first? Oh, I’ll need bones first… The ones I have now are insufficient. I need much more powerful, extraordinary bones…’
“Excuse me.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Why weren’t you answering when I called?”
“Oh… I’m sorry.”
Only then did Ariana Ward come to her senses.
She looked around.
Everyone was looking at her with strange expressions.
“First, wipe the drool from your mouth.”
“Ah? Gulp!”
It seemed saliva had been flowing from her unknowingly opened mouth.
Ariana Ward wiped her mouth with her fist and looked straight at Kang Hyeon.
“The materials are prepared for now!”
“Yes.”
“But! Aren’t all transactions supposed to have something in return?”
In fact, for Ariana Ward, touching such extraordinary materials was incredibly enjoyable.
However, it was also true that this work would be extremely difficult and challenging.
‘Conveniently, there’s something I want done.’
So Ariana Ward was planning to propose a trade with Kang Hyeon.
A boss monster that had been tormenting her for days.
She was going to entrust its elimination to Kang Hyeon.
‘This way, I can focus more on the enjoyable task and get rid of the annoying creature! This is truly killing two birds with one stone.’
Ariana Ward nodded and her eyes gleamed.
“The trade condition is! Defeating one monster. The one that…”
“I’ll do it.”
“What? Let me explain first…”
“Just tell me where it is. I’ll go smash it right away.”
“It’s quite cunning. It’s not easy to catch. I’ve been suffering for days trying to deal with it.”
Ariana clenched her fist as if the mere thought of it made her shudder.
“So where is it?”
“If you go northwest from here, there are three tall mountains. Each is called North Sister, South Sister, and Broken Top…”
As soon as the simple explanation of its location ended.
“Let’s go quickly!”
Kang Hyeon’s group immediately went outside.
“Will they manage…?”
The creature was not an easy opponent.
Not only was its own power strong, but it was also incredibly clever and quick-witted.
Of course, she had seen with her own eyes that Kang Hyeon was strong, but she was worried he might be too overconfident.
“Well… They’ll figure it out! Right now, something more important is waiting for me.”
Ariana, who had worried about Kang Hyeon’s group for just a moment, quickly turned her gaze.
There lay the adorably massive magic stone.
“Hehe… I’ll definitely create a masterpiece that will be remembered for centuries.”

Broken Top.
A high and rugged mountain located in Oregon, with an elevation of 2,797 meters.
“Wow, It’s incredibly high.”
But for Kang Hyeon’s group, scaling the mountain was something they could do with their eyes closed.
In an instant, Kang Hyeon, who had climbed to the top of the Broken Top, looked around.
“What a sight. This is magnificent.”
An endless expanse of nature stretched out around him.
It was right when he was deeply admiring the view.
“Are you on a picnic?”
Yoon Na-rae’s teasing voice came from beside him.
A thick tendon bulge on Kang Hyeon’s forehead.
“What did you just say?”
“I said, are you on a picnic! We need to quickly find that monster and go back!”
Yoon Na-rae suddenly shouted loudly.
“What did I do wrong? Why are you like this?”
“A picnic!? A PICNIC!? Just get to work quickly!”
“We’ve come to a place like this after so long, so I wanted to look around a bit…”
“Weren’t you the one who said you wouldn’t take me on vacation! So just do some work!”
Kang Hyeon finally understood why Yoon Na-rae was acting this way.
“Are you upset because I said I’d go on vacation without you?”
“I’m not upset.”
Yoon Na-rae stuck out her lips.
“You’re clearly upset.”
“I’m not upset!”
“Anyone can see that you’re upset…”
“I’m not upset! I’m not upset! Let’s just finish the work and go back! Quickly, quickly, quickly!”
“Because I’m being nice to you, you’re going completely crazy!”
Kang Hyeon reached out, but Yoon Na-rae quickly flew up into the sky to dodge.
“Did you think you’d fall for the same pattern every time? Guild leader, are you perhaps stupid? Oh, right! You are stupid! I almost forgot. Haha!”
Kang Hyeon clenched his fist, forced a smile, and trembled with anger.
“I’ll give you one last chance. If you come and kneel down and beg now, I might let you live. But if you try to escape and I catch you, you’ll beg me to kill you because of how painful it’ll be… Got it?”
“Who would be scared by words like that? Not scary at all”
“…”
Perhaps because it was too enjoyable.
Kang Hyeon waved his fists in the air like a babbling baby.
“I’ll kill you.”
The moment that trembling stopped.
Kang Hyeon fixed his gaze on Yoon Na-rae, his eyes glowing with intensity.
It seemed like flames were rising in his reddish-orange pupils.
“Eek…!”
Seeing this, Yoon Na-rae stepped back in panic.
“I’m coming.”
A short utterance.
At the same time, Kang Hyeon’s leg muscles began to swell.
The taut muscles explosively released their condensed power.
-Kwaaang!
With a thunderous sound, the ground shattered.
Kang Hyeon shot forward at an incredible speed.
Literally like a human cannonball.
“Kyaaaak!”
Yoon Na-rae, who barely dodged, screamed.
‘If I’d been hit, I would have died!’
Even brushing against that rock-like body would have meant death.
Only then did Yoon Na-rae’s mind snap back to reality, and she raised her hands.
“I was wrong! I surrender! Surrender!”
“Am I a fool? I can’t understand a word you’re saying at all.”
Kang Hyeon scratched his ear and glared at Yoon Na-rae.
“Ugh…! You little punk!”
“What, little punk…?”
“Ah!?”
She accidentally blurted out her thoughts.
A flustered Yoon Na-rae quickly waved her hands.
“That is, well! It means a slightly handsome science student brother! Hahaha!”
“Just die.”
Kang Hyeon once again channeled power into his muscles.
-Kwaaang!
“Aaah! I’m dying! I’m dying!”
From that moment, a life-or-death tag game began between Kang Hyeon and Yoon Na-rae.
-Kwang, Kwang! Kwaaang!
Chasing Yoon Na-rae, Kang Hyeon tore apart all the annoying monsters.
It didn’t require much effort.
Just throwing his body around.
If something blocked his path, he would ram into it.
With just that, most monsters would die, their bodies exploding on the spot.
‘This is crazy. Absolutely crazy!’
Yoon Na-rae trembled at the grotesque scene of him bursting monsters with body slams.
‘What should I do? If I get caught, I’ll definitely get beaten badly…’
At that moment.
Something with considerable magical power was detected by Yoon Na-rae’s magical sensing.
‘I’ll hide behind that guy!’
Quickly making a decision, Yoon Na-rae headed towards where the magical power was felt.
There was a monster about 3m tall, walking on two legs like a human, that she had never seen before.
A mutant monster named Partan.
It seemed to be somewhat intelligent, wearing flashy things all over its body and something like a crown on its head.
“Giek?”
Partan tilted its head as it saw Yoon Na-rae flying towards it.
“I’ll just hide for a moment!”
“Gieeeek!”
The monster let out a bizarre scream looking at Yoon Na-rae.
Simultaneously, monsters began rushing from all directions.
“That’s it! This should buy me some time!”
Just as Yoon Na-rae was cheering while looking at the monsters.
“What is this now!?”
Kang Hyeon flew like a cannonball and shouted.
“Get out of the way, you bastard!”
His fist struck the mutant Partan’s face.
-Kwaaang!
Partan was sent flying tens of meters and embedded into a massive cliff.
“Gi, giek..!”
But it didn’t die.
Although its face was swollen, it had withstood Kang Hyeon’s punch.
Partan, enraged by the sudden attack.
It screamed and charged at Kang Hyeon.
“Gieeeek!”
“Oops? I’m busy, so move.”
Kang Hyeon reached out and grabbed the giant monster’s face.
-Kwajik!
In that state, with incredible strength, he slammed Partan’s head into the ground.
“Magic explosion.”
He used the magic explosion skill.
-Peoeoong!
The skill that burst from his mouth caused Partan’s head to explode, spraying blood and flesh in all directions.
“Annoying. Ptui!”
Spitting out the flesh that entered his mouth, Kang Hyeon stood up.
And rolling his eyes filled with madness, he searched for Yoon Na-rae.
“Want to play tag together? Please come out”
What was originally a cute song a little sister would sing to her older sister about making a snowman.
But the song Kang Hyeon sang sounded like a funeral dirge.
“Just a moment, please!”
At that moment, Yoon Na-rae peeked her head out from the grass far away.
Seeing her, Kang Hyeon smiled wickedly.
“So you were there?”
“Wait a moment! That Partan who just died! It’s the monster we’re supposed to catch!”
“Huh?”
