I Alone Resurrect Chapter 195
Northern Advance (3)
At the same time.
Kang Hyeon was heading to Pyongyang with Yoon Na-rae and Shin Seong-ah.
“Mr. Kang Hyeon.”
While walking quietly along the trail, Shin Seong-ah called out to Kang Hyeon.
“Yeah?”
“Is that ‘sword’ on your back perhaps that one?”
A very ambiguous question about ‘that one’.
But Kang Hyeon immediately understood what she meant.
“Yeah. That’s right. I took it from that guy called Gattu or Gamtu or whatever.”
Kang Hyeon was walking with the longsword he got from Gattu Asas strapped to his back.
Just then, Yoon Na-rae, who had been listening nearby, felt mischievous.
“I’m curious about something!”
“What is it?”
“Why don’t you put the sword in your inventory instead of carrying it around so cumbersomely? No way! Don’t tell me! You’re not thinking it looks cool, are you? Nah, Can’t be!”
Yoon Na-rae made a fuss in an annoying voice.
“Whatever. My choice!”
Kang Hyeon frowned and gave Yoon Na-rae a knock on the head.
“Ouch! They say hitting the head makes you stupid!”
Actually, Kang Hyeon hadn’t planned to carry the sword around so cumbersomely.
He was only carrying it because it was impossible to put it in the inventory.
Since Bilgein’s longsword was currently lent to Choi Yeon-hwa, the sword on his back was the only blade weapon available to him.
“But how long are we going to walk?”
Yoon Na-rae, who had run away after getting hit, was now walking alongside Kang Hyeon again.
“Don’t worry. Won’t take long.”
“We still have quite a way to go. What do you mean it won’t take long!?”
“Ah! If you’re that annoyed, why don’t you go find us a car!”
They hadn’t been walking like this from the beginning.
Originally, they had a vehicle and a driver, but the car was destroyed by a sudden monster attack.
“If you had just activated your shield properly then, this wouldn’t have happened!?”
At Kang Hyeon’s criticism, Yoon Na-rae made an expression of utter disbelief.
“Really now. Who was it that threw the monster and smashed the car in the first place!?”
Kang Hyeon shut his mouth at Yoon Na-rae’s counterattack.
“Must be nice being the Guild Master! With so much hair on your conscience, you must be really warm even in midwinter!”
“…”
“Sigh! If someone with mindlessly strong power hadn’t acted so stupidly then, we wouldn’t be suffering like this here. What’s the use of saying anything! Just…”
While speaking, Yoon Na-rae secretly glanced at Kang Hyeon’s reaction from the corner of her eye.
It seemed he was reaching his limit of patience.
“Just so cool! So tough! Guild Master is the best! How can you be so… Ouch! Why did you hit me!?”
“From now on, only speak when I tell you to.”
“Where’s that law written!?”
“Right here. If you’re annoyed, want to fight?”
It was becoming increasingly difficult to argue with Yoon Na-rae.
In the end, Kang Hyeon had no choice but to resort to force, where he had absolute advantage.
“Tch! Total Kim Il-sung. Worse than Kim Jeong-il! Even dictators would be impressed…”
Seeing Kang Hyeon’s expression, Yoon Na-rae suddenly bowed her head.
“I’ll be quiet…”
She thought she might really get hit a lot if she continued.
The group walked in silence for a while after that.
While it would take over a day for normal people to walk this distance, they were ability users.
With their excellent basic physical specs, they could reach their destination faster than expected.
“Just about 20km more to go.”
Kang Hyeon said while checking the map.
“We’re almost there.”
20km was a distance they could cover within 2 hours even at a leisurely pace.
“Huh?”
Just then, a faint noise began to be heard from somewhere.
“Everyone heard that, right?”
“Yes.”
Although it was quite far away, Kang Hyeon was certain.
A battle was taking place.

“Fire! Attack to prevent them from approaching!”
Colonel Lee Sang-seok shouted at the top of his lungs while commanding his soldiers.
But shouting doesn’t make the flying bullets any stronger.
“Kieeee!”
A giant monster with tough armor charged forward while taking hits from bullets.
“We must retreat!”
An officer shouted to Colonel Lee Sang-seok.
“What is the superhuman unit doing!?”
“They’ve all been taken out already.”
“Damn it!”
The monsters were getting stronger by the day.
The North Korean soldiers believed bullets and missiles would protect them forever, but reality wasn’t so forgiving.
‘Should we retreat…’
Colonel Lee Sang-seok contemplated with his eyes tightly shut.
Even while he was thinking, his subordinates were dying in real time.
“This won’t do. Everyone retrea…”
At that moment,
-Kwaaang!
Suddenly, a thunderous explosion-like sound erupted from the front.
Startled, he looked up to see an unfamiliar man standing there.
“Oh? You can withstand this?”
A man holding a massive hammer.
He was frowning deeply as if something displeased him.
“Let’s do this nicely! Nicely!”
-Kwang! Bang! Bang!
The man easily swung the massive hammer that must have weighed hundreds of kilograms, maybe even over a ton.
However, the giant monster’s tough armor didn’t break, only showing slight cracks.
“It’s been a while since I’ve met something this tough.”
The man’s already fierce face looked even more frightening as he frowned.
The man who had been standing on top of the monster went somewhere and sat down.
Then he inserted his hand into a gap in the monster’s tough armor.
‘No way… Is he trying to peel it?’
It seemed he was planning to remove the monster’s armor like peeling shrimp shells.
‘That can’t possibly work…’
The man’s large muscles swelled up as if about to burst.
“If it won’t work, make it work! Kuaaaa!”
Though it seemed impossible with human strength,
-Ttuduk, ttuk!
With a chilling sound, the monster’s armor began to lift.
“Kyaaaa!”
The creature with the massive body writhed in pain as its skin was being torn off.
“Got it!”
Finally, the man tore off a piece of armor larger than his own body.
He smiled with satisfaction and drew a pitch-black sword from his back.
“The magic transfer efficiency is definitely good.”
Colonel Lee Sang-seok couldn’t understand the man’s words, but he could tell he was about to do something.
The man who had been concentrating as if gathering energy finally swung his sword.
-Seugeok!
The power was so tremendous that it cut off nearly half of the giant monster’s body in one strike.
“Kak, kyaak…”
A grotesque scene unfolded as the monster’s internal organs spilled out.
“Uh uh…”
Colonel Lee Sang-seok doubted his own eyes at this unbelievable reality.
“How could he…”
This was clearly the same creature that had been slaughtering his subordinates just moments ago.
Even when his superhuman unit stepped in, they couldn’t even properly use their strength before being killed helplessly.
Yet this strange man who appeared from nowhere handled the giant monster as easily as preparing a freshly caught crayfish.
“Let’s finish this quickly!”
The man, showing no signs of fatigue, immediately jumped towards other monsters and began the slaughter.
Finally coming to his senses, Colonel Lee Sang-seok began giving orders.
“Help that man! Wipe out the monsters!”
He had no intention of letting this miraculous opportunity slip away.

The battle was a great victory.
After Kang Hyeon and Yoon Na-rae joined, the battle became so one-sided that there were almost no casualties.
When the monsters’ roars could no longer be heard, Colonel Lee Sang-seok immediately went to find Kang Hyeon.
“Thank you so much for your help.”
Despite his high rank as colonel, he kept bowing his head to Kang Hyeon in gratitude.
Kang Hyeon seemed to not dislike Lee Sang-seok’s attitude and smiled.
“By the way, comrade, which unit do you belong to?”
“Huh? I’m not part of any unit. I belong to a guild, though…”
At Kang Hyeon’s words, Lee Sang-seok’s face suddenly hardened.
“Could it be… You’re from South Korea?”
“That’s right. I came from the South and I’m heading to Pyongyang now.”
Kang Hyeon’s nonchalant response.
Lee Sang-seok was consumed by worry.
‘I thought they were superhumans sent from central…’
Well, there’s no way the motherland could have hidden such a powerful superhuman until now.
If the motherland had such a superhuman, they would have stepped forward long ago when the Party’s Supreme Dignity, the Leader Comrade, was in danger.
“…”
When Colonel Lee Sang-seok remained silent, Kang Hyeon frowned.
“Let me tell you in advance. It’s better for both of us if you don’t do anything unnecessary. You know what I mean?”
Kang Hyeon’s meaning was clear.
Don’t do anything foolish and follow his intentions.
“What business do you have in Pyongyang?”
Colonel Lee Sang-seok decided to first understand Kang Hyeon’s intentions.
“I have business with your leader. I’m just planning to talk, so you don’t need to be so wary.”
“Hmm…”
“Think carefully. Me causing trouble and forcing a meeting with your leader, or you coordinating properly to arrange a quiet meeting.”
Kang Hyeon smiled confidently.
“If you do the math, isn’t it obvious which option is better?”
Colonel Lee Sang-seok was quite a rational person and extremely practical.
He cared more about his life and safety than grand concepts like the motherland’s future.
‘Let’s agree.’
Opposing Kang Hyeon here would only harm himself.
“I will guide you.”

Director of the General Political Bureau, General Kim Gil-su.
He was currently in a very excited state.
‘A jackpot has fallen into our laps.’
He had heard that South Korea would send superhumans and military forces.
But he never imagined that a famous superhuman, who could be considered the core of South Korea’s power, would come separately in this situation.
‘I must get him by any means.’
General Kim Gil-su wanted Kang Hyeon.
No, he wanted a powerful ability user.
Now that ability users had been wiped out due to suppression and elimination policies.
Their military power was more desperately needed than ever before.
“They’ve arrived.”
“Let them in.”
As the order was given, the door opened and Kang Hyeon and Yoon Na-rae entered.
“Welcome. I’m Kim Gil-su, Director of the General Political Bureau.”
“I’m Kang Hyeon from the Badass Guild.”
Kang Hyeon and Kim Gil-su exchanged a light handshake.
“I heard you came all this way to meet me.”
Kim Gil-su spoke first.
“May I ask why?”
Kang Hyeon nodded at Kim Gil-su’s question.
“You’re the highest-ranking person here right now, correct?”
The soldiers standing around bristled at his oddly insolent tone.
“Watch your mouth!”
“Do you know who you’re talking to!”
Kim Gil-su also frowned slightly, but this much he could laugh off.
“Everyone, that’s enough. Anyone can make mistakes if they don’t know better.”
General Kim Gil-su laughed heartily with a good-natured smile.
“That’s right. With the Supreme Leader and high-ranking officials all dead now, I, Kim Gil-su, am temporarily serving as Supreme Commander.”
“Fortunately, I’ve come to the right place.”
“Yes. Now, what did you want to talk about?”
At Kim Gil-su’s question, Kang Hyeon grinned.
“You. Step down from your position as General.”
Kim Gil-su’s face hardened at Kang Hyeon’s direct statement.
“You son of a bitch! Are you really crazy!?”
When the nearby soldiers erupted in anger, Kim Gil-su raised his hand.
“Be quiet.”
Everyone fell silent, and the surroundings became quiet in an instant.
“You. You’ve got guts.”
Kim Gil-su now completely dropped formalities as he glared at Kang Hyeon.
“What do you think you can do alone in this situation?”
“Well, we’ll see about that.”
“Let me be honest. I have no intention of letting you leave alive.”
“And?”
“If you don’t want to die, you’d better follow my words.”
Kim Gil-su spoke with sinister eyes.
“Kekek… Kek… Keheup.”
Hearing Kim Gil-su’s words, Kang Hyeon suddenly started giggling.
“You bastard! Is this situation funny to you?”
When Kim Gil-su showed an angry expression, Kang Hyeon waved his hands.
“Ah, sorry. ‘Follow my words if you don’t want to die’… It’s been so long since I heard such nonsense that I couldn’t help but laugh. Hahaha!”
Kang Hyeon laughed loudly as if he really couldn’t contain himself.
“I heard you’re a very famous superhuman from South Korea… But now I see you’re just a madman?”
Kim Gil-su frowned and sighed.
“Kill them.”
Kim Gil-su’s words fell coldly.
Simultaneously, bullets rained down on Kang Hyeon and Yoon Na-rae from all directions.
-Dudududu!
Along with an eardrum-shattering noise, acrid gunpowder smoke filled the room.
“Tsk. Just wasted time.”
Kim Gil-su naturally thought Kang Hyeon and Yoon Na-rae would die.
No matter how superhuman they were, no one had ever survived taking bullets to the head until now.
But Kim Gil-su’s complacent thoughts shattered before even a few seconds had passed.
“Nice! Good reaction speed.”
“Haah… What if I had been even a little late?”
“Then you would’ve died, that’s all.”
Kang Hyeon and Yoon Na-rae chatted casually.
All the bullets fired at them had been blocked by a shield.
“What are you all doing! Shoot! I said shoot!”
At Kim Gil-su’s order, bullets poured toward the two again.
However, no matter how powerful the gun or what kind of bullets they used, nothing reached the two.
“…”
Finally sensing something was wrong, Kim Gil-su broke out in a cold sweat.
“Done shooting?”
Kang Hyeon grinned while looking at Kim Gil-su.
Then he spread his fingers to make a gun shape and aimed at Kim Gil-su.
“Wh-what are you doing!?”
Kim Gil-su shouted, needlessly frightened.
“There’s something I’ve always wanted to do.”
Kang Hyeon aimed at Kim Gil-su’s head with one eye closed.
He lightly flicked his hand.
“Bang.”
Simultaneously, a nearby window shattered, and
“Sniper!”
A hole appeared in General Kim Gil-su’s head.
Kim Gil-su died on the spot, blood streaming from his forehead.
It was an anticlimactic end for a man who had briefly held the position of Supreme Dignity.
The soldiers in the room scattered in panic at the sight.
Kang Hyeon aimed his finger gun at them one by one.
“Bang. Bang.”
Each time Kang Hyeon’s lips moved, a hole appeared in the head of whoever he aimed at.
Most of the soldiers fell to the floor, leaving only a few high-ranking officers.
“Phew…”
Kang Hyeon slowly brought his finger to his lips and blew on it as if blowing away gunpowder.
“Tch. Such a show-off.”
Yoon Na-rae frowned at the sight, but Kang Hyeon didn’t care what she thought.
“Ah, wish fulfilled.”
Kang Hyeon grinned and walked forward heavily.
“Hi-hiik..! Don’t come closer!”
The terrified generals struggled to get away from Kang Hyeon.
“Now we’re ready to talk.”
It seemed the scene Kang Hyeon wanted had finally come together.
