I Alone Resurrect Chapter 204
Super Hero (3)
Late at night.
A time when everyone is in deep sleep.
There were those who could not go to bed and were moving.
“You’re here? Is it already time to switch shifts?”
Kunigoro, who was on night watch, greeted the approaching man.
“Yeah. Time to switch.”
“What? Is it you, Hiromasa?”
As he checked the face up close, Kunigoro frowned.
“Were you supposed to be next in line?”
“It changed. Hitoyoshi said he was sick.”
“Is that so?”
It was common for shift rotations to change.
Kunigoro patted the shoulder of his soon-to-be hardworking colleague and was about to head to his quarters.
At that moment.
A knife that came stabbing from behind pierced his heart.
“Ug, ugh…”
Eyes bulging like they might pop out.
Kunigoro desperately rolled his eyes.
To see the man who stabbed him.
“Sorry. I had no choice.”
Unlike the words of apology, his colleague’s eyes held no emotion.
“Why, why…”
“It’s all for our Japan.”
With those words, the knife was roughly pulled out of Kunigoro’s heart.
-Splash!
Hot blood covered the man’s face.
“I need to move.”
Hiromasa, who had roughly wiped the blood with a cloth, moved to the next location.

In a world where the concept of going to work and leaving work has disappeared.
Fujino Mimi was taking a short nap in the empty situation room.
She wanted to lie down on her bed in her own room, but that would make her too anxious to bear.
She felt more comfortable taking a nap in the situation room, even if her body was a bit uncomfortable.
“Fujino!”
At that moment, the situation room door burst open, and a man approached.
“Kyomasu. What’s the matter…?”
Mimi rubbed her eyes and got up.
“An attack. No, a rebellion!”
“What!?”
A rebellion out of nowhere.
She couldn’t even imagine what he was talking about.
“Please calm down and tell me slowly. What do you mean, a rebellion?”
“The Michiki faction! They’re attacking people like crazy!”
Fujino Mimi felt dizzy.
‘Could it be because of yesterday’s incident…?’
Michiki, who had been arguing with Kang Hyeon.
Fujino Mimi had slapped Michiki’s cheek to defuse the situation.
‘No. Killing colleagues over that? Impossible.’
Mimi patted her own cheek.
She needed to stay alert.
First, she needed to gather more information.
“Are the Michiki faction the only problem?”
“No. There are other guilds sympathetic to Michiki, though their exact locations haven’t been identified.”
“Tell me the guilds that have been confirmed.”
“For now, the Kiyosu Guild, Ama Guild, and Toki Guild are certain.”
Michiki clenched her fist at the guild names.
‘All guilds belonging to that faction.’
Fujino Mimi had been put in charge of Aichi Prefecture at the people’s recommendation.
However, not everyone agreed with this.
Those who praised the Japanese Imperial Era.
These individuals with extreme political leanings were deeply rooted in Japan.
They were displeased that Fujino Mimi, who did not sympathize with their thinking, was taking the most important position in the area.
‘But to do something like this…’
It was probably planned long ago.
It might not be happening only in Nagoya City.
Their unity was beyond imagination.
It wouldn’t be strange if similar things were happening nationwide.
‘Right now, this isn’t the most important thing. Let’s do what we can.’
As Fujino Mimi was organizing her thoughts.
“Fujino. Please evacuate now.”
“Huh?”
Kyomasu grabbed Fujino’s hand.
“You are practically the spiritual leader of Aichi Prefecture. If you are taken down, people will lose all hope.”
“…”
“We will clear a path. Please escape. It’s for the future.”
With Kyomasu’s words, a group of skilled individuals entered.
They were Honshin Guild members.
People who were like family to Fujino Mimi from the very beginning.
Mimi looked at them carefully.
“You said I’m practically the spiritual leader of this place?”
“Yes. That’s right!”
“Who will protect the people left behind here if I leave too?”
“…”
“Everyone left here are abandoned people. We no longer have the strength to endure.”
Fujino Mimi drew her sword.
“So I will endure until the very end. Even if it means dying.”
“That’s why we need to run away for their sake!”
Mimi shook her head at Kyomasu’s words.
“What they need is hope. The fact that in this world, there are people who sincerely care for them and are willing to sacrifice their lives. If they have that, they can survive without giving up. I believe that.”
The situation room fell silent at Fujino Mimi’s words.
“Then we will stand together with you.”
“This worked out well. Those Michiki bastards. I never liked them from the beginning! This is our chance to wipe them out cleanly and start over!”
“Yeah. They’re nothing special. We can do this!”
The Honshin Guild members each threw in a word of encouragement.
It was at that moment when Fujino let out a tragic laugh.
“Phew. Kheuk!”
A giggling sound began to come from the end of the corridor.
“What a tear-jerking scene! It’s so funny that I’m about to cry! Khahahahaha!”
The one who appeared was Michiki, accompanied by dozens of ability users.
While his appearance was typical of a third-rate villain that might provoke laughter, Fujino Mimi’s face remained stern.
“Our Honshin’s beautiful guild leader! Such a noble spirit! Huh?”
As Michiki and the pirates drew closer, the Honshin Guild and Mimi gradually retreated.
‘The numbers are too many…’
On this side, including Fujino Mimi, there were six, while on the other side, there were clearly more than fifty at a glance.
A difference in numbers close to tenfold.
‘No matter how superior our skills are… It’s impossible against those numbers.’
The Honshin Guild was the most famous and strongest guild in the area.
But that didn’t mean they were overwhelmingly stronger than other ability users here.
It was essentially a guild famous only in the local area.
Fujino Mimi was also famous more for something other than her physical strength.
“It would be better to come over obediently. Do we really need to shed blood?”
The Pirates and Michiki also knew this fact and approached confidently.
“…”
Fujino Mimi and the Honshin Guild members looked at each other.
A conversation through their eyes.
Having confirmed each other’s resolve, they drew their swords.

Meanwhile. Kang Hyeon, who had moved to Gifu City, had just finished dealing with his target monster and was resting.
“How annoying.”
Despite his massive build, the monster had been hiding underground, causing him quite a bit of trouble.
Kang Hyeon looked at the fallen mole-like monster and turned his gaze.
“Hya. The scenery is nice.”
Gifu Castle, located in Gifu City.
The view from the castle built on the mountain was incredible.
Two river streams endlessly spreading across the plain.
The lights coming from buildings densely packed in that area.
“The night view is beautiful.”
Different from what they’d seen in Korea, everyone in the group stared blankly at the scene.
“Even if it’s in trouble, Japan is still Japan. There are still so many places with lights on. If you look there, it’s so bright, almost like a fire…”
Kang Hyeon was speaking when he frowned.
“Looks like a fire over there? Seong-ah. Take a look over there.”
Shin Seong-ah looked where Kang Hyeon was pointing.
“Is it really on fire?”
“Yes, it’s burning intensely.”
“Hmm. A fire in the middle of the night. They’ll have a tough time. Are water supplies working well these days?”
“Wouldn’t we just draw water from the river?”
“Oh! That’s a good method. You’re smart?”
“Hehe… Thank you…”
They were making idle conversation when suddenly.
“Oh my. You fools! Isn’t that where we came from?”
At Yoon Na-rae’s words, Kang Hyeon and Shin Seong-ah’s eyes widened.
“What!?”
“That fire. It’s Nagoya City where we left this morning!”

Michiki grabbed Fujino Mimi’s hair.
“Stubborn woman. It would have been better if you had been obedient from the start.”
“Ugh…”
Around Michiki, the corpses of Honshin Guild members lay scattered.
Even though Michiki was cruel and despicable, he still had a semblance of ‘comradeship’.
“I’ll thoroughly enjoy myself with you in place of the guys who went ahead. If they see this scene, even the dead would jump up. Khahahaha!”
Her torn clothes and the white skin revealed between them.
Seeing the red blood covering her skin made Michiki’s pants swell.
Mimi’s still defiant gaze further inflamed his perverted desires.
“Go out.”
“Yes.”
Michiki dragged Mimi across the floor and went outside.
It seemed he had already forgotten the colleagues who had just died.
The pirates’ subordinates laughing together were no different.
Michiki and the pirates, having left the situation room and gone outside the building.
The first thing they saw was the cityscape burning.
“What is happening…?”
The pirates panicked and looked around.
“Undead! Lich!”
The pure white skull that caught their eye.
But that wasn’t all.
“Look over there!”
A group of undead was quickly approaching the city entrance.
“Is that… An army…?”
A man unknowingly muttered.
These undead were completely different from what they had seen before.
They looked far more advanced than zombies rising from corpses or skeletons with only bones remaining.
Beings moving nimbly, unified in black armor.
However, their exposed body parts revealed they were undead.
“What the hell is going on!?”
And it didn’t end there.
Various undead continued to pour in endlessly.
From spirit-like forms to massive zombies created by combining corpses.
“There’s no time to just stand and watch. Let’s go for now!”
Just as a man was about to draw his weapon,
“Everyone stop!”
Michiki intervened.
The pirates looked at their leader with puzzled eyes.
“Michiki…?”
“I said stop. Stay still.”
“What are you talking about? If we leave it like this, the city is doomed!”
“They are our comrades… So don’t interfere.”
“What!?”
The pirate’s eyes nearly bulged out at the mention of undead as comrades.
“What are you saying!?”
“Undead are our comrades!?”
Although the pirates protested, Michiki remained calm.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you earlier. But it’s true. This is all planned. We don’t need to step in.”
“What are you talking about! Are you telling us to just watch people die right now!”
Despite their questionable actions, they were fundamentally driven by patriotism.
Twisted and distorted, but patriotism was still patriotism.
The current situation was far more wrong than could be imagined.
“Shut up, all of you!”
As his subordinates tried to object, Michiki shouted.
“Don’t you stupid fools understand that this is all for the sake of our country!?”
“What do you mean…?”
“He promised that the Great Japanese Empire will rise again. Beyond just Japan’s well-being, we’ve been entrusted with hegemony over Korea, China, and Asia.”
“…”
“Can’t you see that we’re alive right now because of his mercy?”
“We don’t quite understand…”
“These undead you consider enemies. If they had wanted to, we would have been dead long ago.”
Everyone fell silent at Michiki’s words.
“They’ve only been buying time. Time to come under their control. And finally, the higher-ups have decided to accept their proposal.”
“So this was agreed upon by the leadership?”
“Yes. Do you think this is happening only in Nagoya City? Today’s operation is a massive war happening across all of Japan. Behind all of this was his support.”
“…”
The pirates were confused about how to process this sudden situation.
In that moment, Michiki’s madness grew deeper.
His appearance, with blood-red eyes flickering, was hardly human anymore.
Michiki glared at his subordinates.
“You just need to follow. Then Japan can reclaim its past glory. No, we might even grasp world hegemony. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“I don’t get it, you son of a bitch.”
The moment Michiki finished speaking,
A man appeared with a face twisted like a demon.
Kang Hyeon had arrived.
