I Resurrect Alone (1)
The dimensional portal was like a massive monster spewing out undead.
“Growling!”
Zombies, skeletons, and other low-level undead were so numerous that counting them was meaningless.
“Kyaaaaa!”
Banshees, reapers, and other ghostly undead.
High-level undead like liches and death knights.
All kinds of undead poured out endlessly.
Kang Hyeon and the thousand-strong suicide squad were prepared to throw everything away and collide with them.
“Kill!”
“Keuaaaaaah!”
Those already dead.
Fighting enemies without fear always caused extreme fatigue.
But since the suicide squad had also gathered with the intention of throwing everything away.
Knowing this battle was the last, they fought desperately.
Swords and magic.
Frenzy and chaos were intertwined.
Within that, Kang Hyeon swept through everything as if he were the embodiment of madness.
-KWADDEUDEUK!
Every time Kang Hyeon swung the Filthian’s hammer, the undead in its path were split into hundreds of bone fragments.
Of course, the Filthian’s hammer was no longer as outstanding as before.
The item correction effect had disappeared.
However, the hammer had tremendous size and weight.
And Kang Hyeon wielding it had overwhelming strength.
With these two things, there would be no problem in battle.
“Haa…”
Kang Hyeon breathed a bit urgently.
‘It’s not easy to fight while conserving magic.’
He couldn’t pour out magic as freely as before in this battle.
Because he couldn’t use his inventory and couldn’t bring magic potions.
Of course, he could have brought a few bottles if he hung them all over his body, but they would have been quickly shattered in the intense battle.
‘I’ll fight with my body until Agon appears!’
The moment he shows up.
He will pour out all the magic he’s been saving.
Until then, he planned to fight using only his physical abilities.
Anyway, there was no problem swinging the hammer even without magic.
The fact that he could crush the enemy’s head.
Right now, that fact alone was enough.
-KWAAANG!
Kang Hyeon struck down a high-level death knight completely.
Like a bomb had exploded inside its body, the fragments scattered.
That moment.
‘Above…!’
Black lightning struck from the sky.
It was already too late to avoid.
Kang Hyeon drew Bilgein’s longsword and swung it with magic.
-Crackle!
Although he tried to block it with maximum magic, the current that he couldn’t completely deflect blackened and burned Kang Hyeon’s body.
“Damn it…”
A tingling sensation all over his body.
Kang Hyeon frowned and raised his head.
“Are you still alive after taking that?”
There, a lich in fancy clothes was looking down at him.
“You’re the rumored Kang Hyeon. On behalf of Agon, I, Geten Kulsa, will show you true horror…”
-PAGAGAGAK!
The skull of the one speaking was shattered.
“True horror, my ass.”
Kang Hyeon raised his thumb.
A thank you sent to Shin Seong-ah, who had sniped from afar.
‘In this chaotic battle, Shin Seong-ah really shines.’
When all kinds of magic were entangled and the surrounding situation was completely incomprehensible.
The bullets secretly flying from her invisible location had even greater power.
If not as tough as Kang Hyeon, who could deflect bullets with his body.
In an instant, one would lose their life.
‘Still, the situation is not good.’
Many were active, but there were too many enemies.
And they were powerful.
Not just Kulsa and Asas level undead, but also numerous powerful undead never seen before were positioned everywhere.
“Kuuk! Die, you bastards!”
“Keuaaaaaah!”
Screams were heard from everywhere.
They prepared with the determination that if this place fell, everything would end.
But determination alone could not win the battle.
‘Agon hasn’t even appeared yet…’
If Agon appears in this state, everything would collapse in an instant.
‘Pull yourself together! This is just the beginning.’
Kang Hyeon gripped the hammer in his hand more strongly.
‘There’s nothing to do but fight until I die.’
He won’t run away.
He must somehow make it through here.
Just as Kang Hyeon was about to bite down and charge forward.
“Waaaaaaah!”
A huge roar suddenly rang out.
“Reinforcements!”
“It’s the ability users from the United States!”
From far away, an enormous number of people could be seen running.
“Eden…?”
The man at the forefront.
He was Eden Kris, the guild master of the US Warriors Guild, whom Kang Hyeon knew well.
“Kang Hyeon! Long time no see!”
Eden greeted Kang Hyeon while cutting down undead.
“What? How did this happen!?”
“We gathered all the famous ability users from around the world, centered on the United States.”
Kang Hyeon was stunned by Eden’s words.
“They really came…”
Shin Tae-gil had hinted at this before.
The plan to ask for help from overseas.
-Is that even possible? In this situation.
-But we should at least try.
Honestly, Kang Hyeon hadn’t expected it.
Undead were not just in Korea.
In a situation where undead and monsters were spreading and people were dying worldwide.
In this desperate reality where everyone was busy surviving, would they provide support to another country?
It was better to not expect anything at all.
“Ha… How interesting. They really came.”
Yet they came, contrary to Kang Hyeon’s expectations.
“If we lose here, everything ends, right?”
Eden smiled at Kang Hyeon.
“Let’s play around like last time!”

“Agon. When are you planning to move?”
Gusa Adraz looked at Agon.
Agon, who originally looked like an ordinary lich, had completely changed.
Much larger and more grotesque than before.
Agon’s body, seemingly made by lumping together all kinds of undead, involuntarily provoked a sense of visceral disgust.
“There’s still plenty of time. The dimensional portal is stable, so it’s fine.”
“Digestion?”
“It’s almost over.”
The reason for Agon’s transformation was consuming too many undead at once.
To recover lost power, Agon had forcibly eaten undead.
And because of that, he was unable to digest them properly.
“And there’s no need to move right now.”
Agon looked around while speaking.
Undead lined up neatly in front of the dimensional portal.
Although many had been sacrificed and sent from Earth.
There were still many undead here.
“Anyway, they’ll be useless once we move to Earth. They should be grateful to be used for something like this.”
Gusa Adraz tightly closed his mouth at Agon’s cold words.
“By the way. Gusa. When are you planning to move?”
Agon stared directly at Gusa Adraz.
“I’m sure you said you were going to Earth.”
“That’s right. After you leave first.”
“Are you not planning to participate in the battle?”
“Well…”
Gusa Adraz evaded answering and dragged out his words.
“For now, I’ll observe the situation.”
All the undead obeyed Agon’s commands, but Adraz did not.
Superficially, it was because he was Agon’s colleague.
Being a divine entity like Agon meant not receiving orders, but adjusting everything as an absolute being.
But the reality was different.
“Gusa.”
Agon looked at Gusa Adraz.
“Mosha is dead.”
“That’s right.”
“Are you saying you won’t take revenge on Mosha?”
“I never said I wouldn’t. I just want to observe the situation a bit more.”
“It seems you’re mistaken about something. Gusa.”
Magic began to rise from Agon’s body.
“This is an order.”
Gusa Adraz was taken aback by Agon’s sudden change in attitude.
“Mosha is dead, and Mosha has disappeared. Right now, you’re the only Adraz left here.”
“…”
“The balance of power has already tilted. Are you going to defy me?”
This was a clear threat.
Gusa clicked his jaw in displeasure and stared back.
“Agon. This is breaking our promise.”
“A promise… Is something you keep when it’s worth keeping.”
Agon seemed to be intent on ending everything.
“Kukuku…”
Suddenly, Agon burst into a bizarre laugh.
“Gusa… Do you really think Mosha Adraz has disappeared?”
“You… Don’t tell me…?”
“Mosha always distinctly objected to my opinions. I didn’t like it.”
Mosha, who followed Agon while being jealous.
Gusa, who didn’t show much interest in Agon’s affairs.
Unlike those two, Mosha was always hostile to Agon.
Agon had always been uneasy about leaving Mosha be.
“I don’t want to personally execute the last remaining colleague.”
Agon raised his hand and pointed to the portal.
“Go. And prove your worth, Gusa.”
At Agon’s words, Gusa Adraz burst into laughter.
“Hahaha!”
“Gusa. Are you finally going crazy?”
“Agon. You’re mistaken about something.”
“…”
“How long do you think we’ve been together?”
“Surely you’re not about to talk about human emotions.”
“Of course not. What I want to say is that I no longer have attachments to life. I don’t want to become a transcendent being like you.”
Gusa Adraz looked up at the sky.
“We’ve lived too long. Even in this state, our fundamental nature is still human…”
“Shut up!”
Agon suddenly shouted loudly.
“Never speak such nonsense in front of me again.”
“…”
“If you don’t want to fight, get lost. I’ll postpone your punishment until after this is over.”
“Do as you please. Now I’m going to explore a place called Earth, so do as you wish in becoming a transcendent or absolute being. Agon.”
With those words, Gusa entered the dimensional portal.
“Insolent bastard…”
He couldn’t waste his strength fighting Gusa Adraz at this critical moment.
But he would definitely execute him after this was over.
“Kkyuk… I’ll eat you and get closer to being a transcendent.”
The thought of it was already driving him mad with pleasure.
“I should start departing too.”
The dimensional portal’s stability had greatly decreased where Gusa Adraz had just passed.
If time passed like this, he might not be able to pass through.
-Woodddduk!
Agon’s body, which had become bloated from eating undead, rapidly shrank.
Digestion was complete.
Agon, returned to his original form, approached the dimensional portal.

“They’re escaping!”
“Stay focused!”
The battle had spread out of control in all directions beyond the abilities of those fighting.
No matter how the best had gathered, they were insufficient to confine all enemies within the narrow Mountain Bukhansan.
“It’s okay! Focus entirely on the battle!”
Kang Hyeon ran around shouting.
‘Anyway, the military and other ability users have probably already spread a siege around Mountain Bukhansan by now.‘
Since the portal’s location was confirmed, the military and ordinary ability users waiting in Seoul would have moved.
“We can do this!”
“Their numbers are decreasing!”
Though there were still horrifyingly many enemies, hope had begun to emerge.
No matter how much the enemies had gathered their last military strength for a total attack.
This side also had Earth’s strongest forces gathered.
At this rate, the battle might end today.
‘Where is Agon…?‘
Kang Hyeon quickly scanned the surroundings.
Even though a considerable time had passed since the battle began, Agon was not visible.
‘Don’t tell me… Did Vinus Karon actually win?’
Though unlikely.
He wondered if Karon had defeated him or if he had suffered serious injuries.
It was at that moment he was thinking such thoughts…
-Woooong!
The portal began to surge greatly.
‘Damn… Words are becoming reality.’
Kang Hyeon instinctively realized Agon was coming through.
-Paeong!
Finally, the portal burst.
In the midst of that explosion stood a lich emitting powerful magic.
“It’s Agon! Everyone be careful!”
Kang Hyeon shouted loudly and ran.
‘If I can just kill that guy…’
Agon in the far distance.
If he could just eliminate him, this story could end with a happy ending.
Whether true or not, he believed that now.
He didn’t think about the remaining enemies across Earth.
Nor about the administrator behind it all.
Nothing else mattered.
Now was the time to focus solely on Agon.
“Arrrgh!”
Kang Hyeon ran with all his might.
Breaking through the undead blocking his path, focusing only on Agon.
“Hmm…”
But Agon’s gaze passed over Kang Hyeon, ignoring him.
Agon just stood still, looking around.
Suddenly, he opened his mouth.
“Pathetic beings.”
Seeming dissatisfied with something, Agon swung his staff irritably.
Instantly, black clouds appeared and darkness began to spread in all directions.
At that moment when everyone was bewildered by the sudden situation.
“Die.”
With Agon’s words, death descended.
