Resurrection Chapter 120 - Anyway, Seo Heesoo Doesn’t Know

WHIIIIIRRR—

I came to my senses at the sound of a propeller spinning rapidly. When I opened my eyes, I saw a filming drone hovering in the sky.

Normally, I would have cursed them as gnats, but now I was glad to see them. The fact that drones were flying around meant that the worst-case scenario of the entire city of Yongin being blown away hadn’t happened.

Following my consciousness, my senses also returned. I let out a groan, eugh, at the weight pressing down on my body.

I tried to push off whatever was pressing on me and get up, but my whole body ached as if I’d been kicked by a rhinoceros, probably from the considerable shock. Groaning in pain, I turned my head to the side to see what had been pressing on me.

It was Heesoo hyung.

For a moment, I forgot the pain and shot up into a sitting position. As I struggled to push him off and turn him over, I shuddered at the horrific sight.

Heesoo hyung’s arms and legs were not intact. It would be fair to say they were gone. His form, with only a part of his upper body remaining like a torso, was truly wretched. The memory of dying over and over again at the hands of the scorching Archdemon came to mind, and a wave of nausea rose up in me.

I bent my body sharply to the other side and threw up. I hadn’t eaten much, so the only thing that came out was bitter stomach acid. After retching for a while as if wringing out my stomach, I barely managed to lift my head. Even then, I didn’t have the courage to look at Heesoo hyung again, so I hesitated.

Only after a long while did I muster the courage I didn’t have and turn to look at him, and tears welled up. It was no use chanting to myself that I had to get used to Heesoo hyung’s death. It was because it wasn’t hard to guess why he had died in such a state.

Just like when the 77th dungeon became a hellfire, Ulfheðinn had protected me.

I didn’t know what his underlying motive was for obsessing over me, but it was clear that he wanted to protect me. That’s probably why Heesoo hyung also couldn’t completely reject Ulfheðinn. Perhaps he was overlooking the Advent, thinking that he couldn’t protect me from Yaksha with his own strength alone.

Either way, first I had to get back the now-dead Heesoo hyung. I laid Heesoo hyung’s half-remaining body down straight.

The moment I was about to cast Resurrection on him, I became aware of the situation around me. I raised my head and looked at the drone hovering in the sky.

There wasn’t just one or two drones filming to convey the tragedy of the scene as it was. If I used magic, I could destroy them all, but I thought differently.

Since Yaksha had gone this far to catch me, Eeicheong would no longer be able to leave me alone. As soon as they caught me, there was a high possibility they would drag me off to Elysium or somewhere and lock me up. Furthermore, they might conclude that Heesoo hyung would destroy the world and harm him.

Thinking that I couldn’t let that happen, I prepared myself for what was to come. It was something that would be revealed sooner or later anyway. Thinking there was no use hiding it anymore, I paid no heed to the filming drones hovering in the air, nor to the rescue personnel gathering to handle the scene. They had spotted us and were running this way, but I didn’t care and used the resurrection skill.

“Resurrection.”

Light flowing from my body enveloped Heesoo hyung’s wretched corpse. As the cocoon-like light disappeared as if absorbed into Heesoo hyung, Heesoo hyung’s whole form appeared.

His severed limbs had grown back, and on the bare skin revealed beneath his torn clothes, not a single scratch or bruise could be seen. Heesoo hyung, who looked literally as if he had been born again, heaved his chest greatly.

He inhaled and exhaled with difficulty, like a newborn baby letting out its first cry. And he opened his eyes and looked at me. Seeing the scene, the people who were running toward me flinched and stopped in their tracks.

“Heok…”

“He, he came back to life?”

“Resurrection…?”

The murmurs of the astonished people flowed past my ears like meaningless noise. All sound disappeared, and in front of my eyes, only the image of Heesoo hyung looking at me remained. As I gazed into his black eyes, the tears that I thought had stopped began to flow again.

Is it Heesoo hyung right now, and not Ulfheðinn?

As I looked at him in a state of hope and confusion, Heesoo hyung slowly sat up. And he held out his hand to me.

Seeing his usual gesture, I didn’t have time to think about whether the person in front of me was really Heesoo hyung or not. I threw myself into his arms as if diving in.

“Heesoo hyung…!”

As his two arms wrapped around me, I could feel the thumping of his beating heart, the warm heat, and the breath tinged with his scent all at once. I wanted to just bury myself in it and indulge in the relief that he was alive, but I couldn’t stay like this for long.

It wasn’t just because there were many eyes watching us. Instead of sharing a reunion, I pushed Heesoo hyung, who was hugging me tightly.

The two arms that I thought had let go of me tried to grab me again. The moment he was about to hug me again, my lips twitched.

“Blink.”

Having moved a short distance away from him, I stood for a moment and looked at Heesoo hyung, who had sat down in a daze. Heesoo hyung, who had been embracing the empty air trying to catch me who had suddenly disappeared, looked at me who had appeared at a distance.

I smiled at him. But since it was right after I had cried, it was hard to think it would have been a very pleasant smile. Rather, worrying if I didn’t look unsightly, I used up all my remaining mana and moved far away.

“Teleport.”

My vision flashed, and after the now-familiar dizziness passed, what I saw before my eyes was a wasteland. It seemed I had entered a dark zone by moving at random. Around me, only the remains of fallen telephone poles, severed electrical wires, and the traces of a road buried under grass were left.

Seeing that the surrounding mountains were all crumbled and that there were occasional giant craters, I felt as if I had moved to some other world, not Earth.

A sudden feeling of loneliness.

Only after being alone did I realize that after rescuing Heesoo hyung from the den of evil, I had hardly ever been apart from him. After sticking together as if we were one body for several months, suddenly being separated felt more than just empty; it was terribly lonely.

But I couldn’t go back to Heesoo hyung’s side just because I missed him. Now was the time to be apart from him and search for the next measure.

That is, to find a way to stop the Advent.

As long as Heesoo hyung couldn’t control Ulfheðinn’s Advent, it was foolish to be with him. I had no talent for distinguishing between Heesoo hyung and Ulfheðinn, so if he cunningly interfered with my work by my side, I would have no way of knowing. I had to be away from him for a while and find a way to stop Ulfheðinn’s Advent, or even a way to nullify his contract with him altogether.

On the other hand, I had to wait for the aftermath of the revelation that I had Resurrection to subside. The riffraff who were blinded by Resurrection for now would be sorted out by Eeicheong as time went by. Until then, it was safer for both Heesoo hyung and me to be apart.

If we were together, there was a high probability that only Heesoo hyung would get hurt trying to protect me, who had become a target. If I was alone, hiding wouldn’t be difficult, so I planned to find a way to stop the Advent while in hiding. It wouldn’t be too late to return to Heesoo hyung after that.

Of course, reason and emotion played separately. The fact that I was alone without Heesoo hyung, with my Resurrection skill exposed, aroused fear in me.

But on second thought, it was funny. Since when did the all-rounder Kim Yitae rely on someone else?

Heesoo hyung was a person whose very existence gave me strength, so that was enough. As I steeled myself, thinking I would be fine on my own, the Golden Emperor thankfully sent a message.

—The Golden Emperor says that you are not alone. He promises that he will be with you until your very end.

I smiled at his reassuring words. It seemed I would have to walk for a while until my mana replenished, but I didn’t know exactly where to go. I decided to find a safe place first and started walking without a destination.

There was no hesitation in my steps. The road ahead was too long to hesitate.

2tr***** They’re basically advertising that the Resurrection holder is Kim Yitae.

⌞ It doesn’t say that in the article…? The one advertising it is the comment lol ㅉㅉㅉ

⌞ Delete your comment. Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, you shouldn’t be revealing someone’s identity like this.

⌞ Wow, look at this attention seeker. Do you like getting a chain of replies like this?

⌞ Isn’t it already common knowledge among those who know that the Resurrection holder is Kim Yitae? His personal info was all over Hunterlog. It’s funny how they’re trying to shut people up until the official news comes out.

⌞ I agree with this. It’s unfair that only ordinary people don’t know something all Awakened ones know.

⌞ If Kim Yitae has a conscience, he should revive the people who died in this Grand Temple collapse incident. Isn’t that what resurrection is for?

⌞ Does the resurrection skill really bring dead people back to life? No matter how you look at it, this seems impossible. I think it’s a false report.

⌞ I’d rather it be a false report.

⌞ If you’re going to argue that, there are more than just a few people who need to be saved. They’re not the only ones who died unjustly.

⌞ But does the resurrection skill even apply to ordinary people…?

⌞ I think it only applies to Awakened ones. Even the skills healers use are only half as effective on ordinary people.

⌞ Hey, you, give some feedback. I told you to delete the comment.

⌞ Am I the only one who doesn’t know who Kim Yitae is? Is he famous?

⌞ What are you all going to do if it’s not Kim Yitae? You’re all going to get suedㅠㅠ

840***** Mr. Kim Yitae. Please. I’m begging you. My child, is sick. If you could just let me have my child. I would give you my entire fortune.

⌞ I wish I could see my deceased mother just one more time…

⌞ My child also suffered from leukemia and passed away this year. Since he’s already been cremated and scattered, there’s nothing that can be done to bring him back, but I really miss him so much.

⌞ If I had known this, I wouldn’t have cremated my younger brother…

⌞ Now the rich won’t even die.

⌞ It’s not the succession of wealth, but the tyranny of wealth lol

ner***** I thought no way, no way, but I can’t believe the resurrection skill actually exists. The world is going crazy.

⌞ At this rate, aren’t Awakened ones immortal? They already don’t age or get sick, and now they don’t die either? They’re basically monsters. Just thinking about it is terrifying.

⌞ The Awakened ones are trying to defeat the Black King to eliminate the gap. Honestly, when a Monster Break happens, it’s the Awakened ones who die, so I think treating them like monsters is too much.

⌞ The idea that the transcendent beings will make all humans into Awakened ones after defeating the Black King is just a delusion in your head. It’s more likely they’ll leave once their business is done after the Black King is dead, but the ones with nothing but noodles in their brains are running their hope circuits like crazy and spouting ridiculous nonsense as if it were true.

⌞ To put it bluntly, the Awakened ones don’t even care about defeating the Black King. They’re probably only interested in making money by hunting monsters. They’re guys steeped in privilege to the bone, so there’s no way they’d welcome everyone becoming an Awakened one. Are those S-rank Awakened ones even interested in defeating the Black King? They’re only interested in their rankings.

⌞ I don’t know about others, but Seo Heesoo was serious about defeating the Black King. Since Seo Heesoo joined hands with Kim Yitae, it’s a given that he’ll get stronger, and he might even kill the Black King within a few years.

⌞ Seo Heesoo is no longer the holy warrior of the past. We don’t even know what his motives are for joining hands with Kim Yitae, so it’s a huge stretch to just believe he’ll defeat the Black King for us.

r89***** What the hell is the reason for Eeicheong’s existence. They just pushed the work onto the S-rank Awakened ones and watched while Yaksha was rampaging, and they couldn’t even secure the Resurrection. What a waste of my taxes. Eeicheong Head Yeong Namhui should take responsibility and step down immediately!

qiq***** Now I finally understand why Yaksha acted like an obsessive psycho stalker toward Kim Yitae.

⌞ It’s not just Yaksha, everyone’s about to become an obsessive psycho stalker. If a war breaks out between the raid teams, what crime did the people caught up in it commit?

774***** Seo Heesoo must have known, right…?

⌞ That’s probably why he became partners with Kim Yitae.

⌞ Is it confirmed that they became partners…?

⌞ The Temple of the Goddess of Justice is always open. Life counseling, worry counseling, career guidance, future guarantee, heaven guarantee. (044-XXXX-XXXX) http:// justicegoddessinsejong.co.kr

⌞ A-men—

⌞ A-men—

⌞ Don’t make fun of cults like this. This place has been serious lately. They take ordinary people and say they’ll make them into Awakened ones, you shouldn’t believe it…

yjw***** But even if Resurrection has appeared, doesn’t it already have an owner? No matter how much of a fuss other people make, it’s too late.

⌞ Does the ball not go in just because there’s a goalkeeper?

⌞ If Resurrection really exists, shouldn’t Seo Heesoo not be allowed to monopolize it?

the***** Whoa, Kim Yitae entered the top 100 in the rankings. Seo Heesoo entered the top 10. Yaksha was pushed out of the top 30. This is getting interesting. It’s going to be chaotic for a while.
