I Alone Resurrect Chapter 235
Blood Covenant (4)
“Kang Hyeon. Make a blood covenant with me. That is the condition under which I, Razkrize, will fight alongside you.”
Blood covenant.
It was an unfamiliar word he had never heard before.
“What is a blood covenant?”
“Literally, it means making a contract by swearing on blood. Blood is the most important thing for us vampires. Once a covenant is made, it absolutely cannot be broken until one of us dies.”
Kang Hyeon frowned at the words that it could never be broken.
“It doesn’t seem very good.”
“You fool. Consider it an honor. Up until now, fewer than ten have made a blood covenant with me. Among them, only one was human.”
“Hmm…”
“I’m more inclined to make you part of my clan, but I’m sure you would refuse, so I didn’t include that as an option.”
“Become part of the clan? Can I become a vampire too?”
“It’s entirely possible.”
“Oh?”
Kang Hyeon showed interest at the prospect of becoming a vampire.
“It would be difficult to do forcibly since you have strong magical power, but if you consent, it’s not impossible.”
“Will I become stronger if I become a vampire?”
“Of course. For a human like you, I can specially ensure you acquire the highest abilities of my clan.”
“Explain it more simply.”
“Your physical abilities will be enhanced, and you’ll be able to use special abilities that are usually exclusive to high-ranking vampires. For example, like this.”
Razkrize snapped his fingers.
Simultaneously, his body transformed into red mist and disappeared.
“Wh-what!?”
– In this state, you’re almost immune to all physical impacts.
A voice rang in Kang Hyeon’s head.
– You’re vulnerable to attacks imbued with magical power, but because you can freely evade, it’s not a bad ability.
As soon as the words ended, Razkrize returned to his original form.
“Besides this, you’ll be able to see through darkness, mentally control others through fascination, and even transform into a bat or wolf.”
“It doesn’t seem particularly great…”
“This is just an extremely small part. Our abilities are more diverse and superior than you can imagine.”
“…”
“There are many useful abilities beyond just combat. The fact that you naturally acquire them upon becoming a vampire without needing to learn separately is also a significant advantage.”
“Really…?”
Kang Hyeon fell into thought while listening to Razkrize’s words.
‘Since I resurrect anyway, becoming a vampire once when needed doesn’t seem bad. I’ll return to human form when I resurrect.’
Though he couldn’t be certain, Kang Hyeon thought there was a high probability of this happening.
From the last time he became undead by Dera Asas.
Even then, he had returned to human form after resurrection.
“Let’s end the vampire talk here and return to the blood covenant.”
“Oh, right. Come to think of it, I haven’t heard what abilities I’ll acquire from making a blood covenant.”
Kang Hyeon had been caught up in the possibility of becoming a vampire and forgotten about the immediately important blood covenant.
“With a blood covenant, our souls will be connected. If you want, you can summon me anytime, anywhere. And we’ll naturally increase our intimacy with each other.”
“That seems like a useless ability.”
Razkrize frowned at Kang Hyeon’s lukewarm response.
“Insolent.”
“Are there no other abilities?”
“Some of my abilities will be shared with you. You won’t become a vampire, but you’ll be able to use those abilities.”
“That doesn’t sound bad.”
“And there’s one more crucial thing.”
Razkrize looked at Kang Hyeon with a serious expression.
“The nutritional value of your blood will increase.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“You have an extremely unique body. Beyond simply possessing a lot of magical power, magical power is actually embedded within your body itself.”
“Magical power embedded in my body?”
“Yes. Normally, knights who have trained to the extreme might show a slight tendency like this… But you’re on a completely different level. I can’t explain the principle, but it’s like looking at a dragon’s body rather than a human’s.”
“Oh…”
“Therefore, your blood contains tremendous nutritional value. It will be quite helpful in recovering my strength.”
“Are you saying you’ll drink my blood right now?”
“That’s correct. If we make a blood covenant in this state, I can recover my strength much faster.”
“I’m quite uncomfortable with this.”
“Think rationally. This is a method where both of us can be winners. You gain new power, and I help you while quickly recovering my strength. Isn’t this a perfect plan?”
“Hmm…”
Kang Hyeon fell into thought.
‘There might be something else beyond what this guy said…’
As if sensing his thoughts, Razkrize continued speaking.
“If you’re anxious, you can ask Adriendel over there. She was the last contractor who made a blood covenant with me.”
“What!?”
Kang Hyeon looked at Adriendel as if to verify Razkrize’s statement.
“That’s right. I had indeed made a contract with Razkrize. Everything he has said is true, and there will be no greater harm to you.”
“If that’s the case…”
Kang Hyeon, who had been contemplating, nodded.
“Alright. What’s the worst that could happen? Let’s do it.”
The method of making a blood covenant was not difficult.
Razkrize wounded his own hand and let his blood flow into Kang Hyeon’s mouth.
Though drinking blood felt uncomfortable, Kang Hyeon was more reluctant to cancel what he had already decided.
Kang Hyeon knelt on the ground, tilted his head back, and received the blood.
“Oh… This feels somewhat strange…”
Yoon Na-rae said while rubbing her hands.
“Indeed…”
Shin Seong-ah blushed and nodded, seemingly empathizing with him.
“I swear on the most noble blood of Razkrize. With Kang Hyeon…”
Razkrize muttered something with his eyes closed.
‘Is he casting some kind of magic?’
While Kang Hyeon was pondering.
Finally, as Razkrize finished speaking, a system message simultaneously rang out.
[You have formed a Blood covenant with a vampire for the first time. Acquire the title ‘First Vampire Contractor’]
[You have formed a Blood Pact with Razkrize, the primordial vampire. Acquire the title ‘Razkrize’s Contractor’]
[Warning! Body changes due to magical power and magical power content are approaching a critical point]
Kang Hyeon furrowed his brow upon seeing the messages.
‘I understand the titles, but what’s the last message about?’
The fact that a warning was attached suggests it’s not an ordinary matter.
‘I’ll check it out later.’
First, it was important to understand what changes the Blood covenant had brought.
‘It feels like the magical properties of my body have changed a bit.’
The blood he had swallowed seemed to be spreading throughout his body and merging with his magical power.
“It’s done.”
“What were you muttering about earlier?”
“I was infusing my words with magical power and making a pledge. This is not a mere formality but a process that gains substantial binding power.”
“I see.”
Kang Hyeon stood up.
And then he repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fist.
“Your thoughts?”
“I’m not sure.”
Honestly, nothing seemed to have changed dramatically.
It just felt like he was slightly more powerful than usual.
‘That guy seems to have changed something…’
There was something else.
It had only been a few seconds.
Razkrize in front of him looked like a completely different person.
He felt an inexplicable familiarity from Razkrize.
And he knew they were now connected.
“Will this help in fighting?”
“The abilities manifest differently depending on who the pact is made with, so I cannot be certain myself.”
“That’s comforting.”
“It would be faster to seek advice from Adriendel over there, so go to her.”
Suddenly, Razkrize turned around and walked into the forest.
“Where are you going?”
“Forming a Blood covenant requires considerable magical power, mental strength, and physical exertion. Having lost strength and been injured while performing the pact, I’m quite tired.”
“…”
“I need to rest a bit. You do your work.”
With those words, Razkrize disappeared.
“It doesn’t seem like much, is this really such a big deal?”
“The Blood Pact’s effectiveness strengthens as your bond with Razkrize becomes more solid. You might not feel any changes now, but it will be different as time passes, so wait and see,” Adriendel said, to which Kang Hyeon nodded.
“I thought he’d be demanding blood immediately, how unexpected.”
“He has a strong ego. He’ll find a clean way to take blood without causing you harm, making it a fair contract for both sides. But right now…”
Adriendel gazed in the direction Razkrize had disappeared.
“He’s so exhausted that he can’t even think about that. I’ve never seen Razkrize like this before.”
“Well, he’ll handle it himself.”
He would tell Kang Hyeon if necessary.
Kang Hyeon wanted to understand the changes happening to himself first.
‘Let me open the status window.’
There might be some changes.
Kang Hyeon decided to check the status window.
▫Name: Kang Hyeon
▫Title: Tutorial Graduate Outsider + ? titles
▫Level: 9?
▫Detailed Stats:
- Strength 43 (+4)(+??)
- Agility 45 (+?)

‘What…?’
The status window was strange.
The □ and ? were wildly stretched, and even those kept blurring and reappearing, not showing clearly.
‘Could this be because of the warning earlier?’
The system message from a moment ago.
‘Body changes due to magical power? What did it mean by magical power content approaching a critical point?’
Critical point refers to the boundary where a physical phenomenon begins to split and appear differently.
‘Hope it’s not messed up.’
Is there a problem with the magical power becoming too high?
He suddenly recalled the fight with Dera Asas.
‘At that time, the body collapsed due to magical power beyond its limits. Is something similar happening?’
No one knows for sure.
Kang Hyeon stared at his body.
‘I don’t know. Damn it. It’ll work out somehow.’
Worrying won’t change anything anyway.
Kang Hyeon stretched mightily.
“Let’s start preparing!”
“Pardon?”
Everyone’s gaze gathered at Kang Hyeon’s sudden statement.
“We don’t know when Mosha or whatever will come, so we need to be prepared.”
“Wait a moment.”
Yoon Na-rae approached Kang Hyeon then.
“What now?”
“Guild Leader’s eyes seem a bit more reddish.”
“Really?”
“Yes. The reddish tint has definitely intensified.”
Shin Seong-ah also nodded in agreement.
“Hya. It wasn’t a good impression to begin with, but now it looks completely crazy. It’s hilarious. Hahaha!”
“Want me to show you what a real crazy person looks like?”
“Let’s start preparing quickly! What should we do first!?”
Yoon Na-rae raised her staff high and shouted.
“Mosha Adraz! Wait for me! The world’s strongest beautiful girl will take you down!”
“What nonsense.”
Yoon Na-rae was struggling not to be hit today as well.
