Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad [EN]: Chapter 75

The 22 participants emerged from the forest.

They stopped upon seeing the large group of humans gathered.

“What’s this? There are more humans.”
“Let’s kill them all!”

“Meat! There’s a ton of meat!”

The Warriors were currently concealing their power with hoods, hiding their true strength.

The participants, unaware of this, were thrilled that their meal had increased.

The atmosphere was almost festive.

Watching the clueless fools, Choi Hyun-seok bit his lip.

‘The humans are clearly superior in power. If they clash, the demons will undoubtedly lose.’

Taylor, whom he had just fought.

He alone could handle most of the participants.

Considering the 50 Warriors waiting behind Taylor, the participants’ chances of winning were virtually zero.

However, Choi Hyun-seok intended to make them fight.

Combat was inevitable from the start.

He needed to buy time, no matter what.

‘If we have to fight anyway, I should make a preemptive move before the fire spreads to me.’

Choi Hyun-seok took a deep breath.

“Arrogant humans have invaded! Let’s show them the power of our Demon King’s army!”

The resounding voice echoed throughout the forest.

Simultaneously, the participants’ eyes widened.

“Uwooo! Arrogant humans!”
“We are the Demon King’s army! Let’s defeat the humans!”

They felt an unknown power surging within them.

Choi Hyun-seok was no longer visible in the participants’ eyes.

Instead, they wanted to tear apart the wicked group of humans beyond him.

For some reason, they felt like they had to!

Amidst the escalating atmosphere, Choi Hyun-seok drove the wedge.

“Charge-!”

“Uaaaaaagh!”

“Today is a human meat party!”

The excited participants rushed past Choi Hyun-seok towards the Warriors.

Leaving the mindless fools to charge ahead, Choi Hyun-seok quietly slipped away.

‘That should buy me some time.’

His hidden charisma and leadership skills shone.

They couldn’t win the fight anyway.

Buying time was enough.

“Kkyaaaaak!”

“Gweeeck!”

As soon as the battle began, the participants’ screams sounded all too real.

As expected, the enemy’s power seemed to overwhelm them.

‘Now, this is the crucial part…’

Everything had gone according to plan so far.

The problem was what came next.

Once all the participants were dead, it would naturally be Choi Hyun-seok’s turn.

Simply running away was not an option.

The enemy’s power was truly overwhelming.

He would inevitably be caught soon.

As he pondered deeply, he heard a voice from beside him.

Startled, he turned to see a familiar face.

“Where are you going?”

“Commander!?”

It was Commander Roiger, who was in charge of the current game.

He had met him a few times and recognized him.

As the person in charge, Roiger would know what was happening.

Choi Hyun-seok asked in a hurried voice.

“What on earth is going on!?”
“The gate connected to the Black Fortress was destroyed by a human attack.”

“Pardon?”

“I said the gate was destroyed.”

The destruction of the gate meant that the connection to the Black Fortress was severed.

Not only could they no longer return to the Black Fortress,

but they would also not receive any support from the Black Fortress.

Choi Hyun-seok bit his lip.

“Where are the other officers?”

Not only participants came to Inemosit.

Commander Roiger, along with several strong commander-level officers, had come over.

Their strength was clearly superior to the participants.

If they joined forces, they could surely find a way out.

“They’re all dead.”

“All of them…?”

“Yes. I barely managed to escape with my life.”

“Haa…”

The situation was more desperate than he had thought.

The officers who came for the game were all dead, and the participants were about to follow suit.

Choi Hyun-seok couldn’t understand.

Why were they being defeated so futilely?

There were clearly only those at the battalion commander level or higher here.

Yet, they couldn’t even stop 50 humans.

It didn’t make sense.

“How strong are the enemies that we’re being defeated like this?”
“All of them are at least battalion commander level. About three are at the regimental commander level. One is almost at the division commander level.”

The division commander level was clearly referring to Taylor.

His terrifying durability could only come from someone at that level.

In addition, the other Warriors were all highly skilled.

He couldn’t see any chance of winning.

“You should give up on doing anything. All you can do now is run away.”
“Can we survive by running away?”
“I could, alone. But you’ll definitely be caught. You have a tracking spell on you.”

“Pardon!?”

Choi Hyun-seok was startled by the words ‘tracking spell’.

He hadn’t noticed any signs of it.

It seemed Taylor had used some trick.

“It’s a simple yet powerful spell. You could dispel [remove] it, but the enemies would be here before you could.”

“…”

“Give up. You’re a human that the legion commander favored, so if you have any last words, I’ll pass them on to the legion commander.”

Roiger said as if doing him a favor.

He was saying it with good intentions, but it made him furious.

‘Is he calling that comfort right now?’

Favor? Last words?

How could he say such things so casually?

Who does he think put him in this mess?

He forcibly suppressed the urge to grab him by the collar and ask.

‘It’s too early to give up.’

Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes flashed fiercely.

No matter how overwhelming the enemy was, he had no intention of giving up without even fighting.

“I will survive. So don’t treat me like I’m dead.”
“Don’t you understand the situation? There’s nothing you can do right now.”

“There is.”

Choi Hyun-seok said with conviction.

He took out a marble from his pocket and activated it.

A holographic map appeared.

He could see a purple dot flashing not far away.

“I’m going to where this monster is now.”

Roiger was flustered.

He was suddenly going to where the monster was.

Was he planning to commit suicide?

“What are you going to do there?”
“Didn’t you say earlier that it’s impossible to shake off the enemy’s pursuit?”

Roiger nodded.

As Choi Hyun-seok said, it was impossible to shake off the enemy’s pursuit right now.

He couldn’t fight and win, so all that was left was to die.

Roiger was puzzled.

What was the human in front of him going to do in this desperate situation?

“If we can’t shake off the pursuit, there’s only one way.”

“What’s that way?”

“We’ll destroy them all so they can’t chase us.”

A wicked smile appeared on Choi Hyun-seok’s face.

***

Warrior Taylor Andrew shook the blood off his sword.

He slowly looked around.

“He ran away…”

The traitor Warrior was nowhere to be seen.

He seemed to have escaped while he was dealing with the other demons.

“Tsk.”

Taylor clicked his tongue.

It would take a little more effort, but it wasn’t a problem.

He had placed a tracking spell on the traitor.

Taylor immediately led the Warriors and moved.

How long had they been running?

Suddenly, Taylor’s expression hardened.

‘He’s making troublesome moves…’

He could feel intense magical energy.

Probably the monster who was the apex predator of this area.

The traitor seemed to be planning to use the monster to hold out.

‘It’s not something I can’t handle.’

Fortunately, this was the entrance to Inemosit.

Even if it was a monster that reigned as the apex predator of the area, he was confident he could win.

Taylor continued to move.

Finally, the monster began to appear in the distance.

“Floklade… It’s my first time seeing it in person.”

Taylor knew the monster’s name.

He had only seen it fleetingly in an old book, but he recognized it at once.

That’s how unique the appearance of the monster ‘Floklade’ was.

Kheu-woooooooo-!

It didn’t feel like a monster, but like a small mountain.

A round, massive body.

There were many things that looked like flowers protruding from the top.

Thousands of tentacles that looked like tree trunks protruded from between them, swimming in the air.

‘This has become troublesome…’

Taylor’s expression crumpled.

Floklade was not an easy monster.

To face it, all the Warriors gathered here, including himself, would have to attack.

‘I could hunt it, but the damage would be too great if I did.’

After a moment of contemplation, Taylor made a decision.

“Draw the monster’s attention. I’ll take care of the traitor and get out of here immediately.”

He would leave Floklade alone.

His goal was the traitor Warrior anyway.

If the other Warriors drew Floklade’s attention while he killed the traitor, the mission would be over.

There would be some sacrifices, but it would be much better than hunting Floklade directly.

Taat! Taat!

The 50 Warriors scattered in all directions.

Taylor quickly scanned the surroundings.

‘Found him.’

It wasn’t difficult to find the traitor.

He was standing right next to Floklade.

Taylor raised his magical power.

‘I’ll end it right away.’

He had no intention of dragging it out.

He would go all out and deal with it at once.

Taylor kicked off the ground as if he were being shot.

Just before reaching the traitor.

Magical power exploded from his body.

Advanced Warrior Swordsmanship

Form 1 – The Warrior’s Path

Advanced Warrior Swordsmanship.

This aura, which could be purchased from the Warrior Shop, was mastered by most Warriors who reached a certain level.

A common and ordinary aura.

But its power was by no means ordinary.

Hooong!

A powerful vertical slash that swept up from below.

Taylor’s sword swept across the floor.

Following its path, sword energy slashed across the floor and shot out at tremendous speed.

Kwagagagag!

The advancing sword energy reached the traitor in the blink of an eye.

In that instant, a strange light flashed in Taylor’s eyes.

‘He dodged it…?’

The moment he swung his sword and the sword energy reached the traitor was literally instantaneous.

It was not a speed that the traitor’s level could avoid.

‘His combat sense is good, but his eyes are unbelievably sharp. His reaction speed is abnormally high compared to his skills.’

What he felt in the previous clash was not a mistake.

The traitor had excellent eyes that did not match his level.

Taylor didn’t know it, but there was a reason for this.

The traitor, Choi Hyun-seok’s usual sparring partner was Raidrun.

He fought with Raidrun, who was one of the best in the Demon King’s army in terms of hand-to-hand combat, almost every day.

His reaction speed couldn’t help but be good.

‘I need to kill him before he grows any more.’

Taylor once again confirmed his thoughts.

The most important thing in this mission was to eliminate the traitor Warrior.

‘This rat bastard…!’

However, the situation did not go as smoothly as he had hoped.

As time passed, Taylor’s expression became more and more urgent.

‘How lucky can he get!?’

The traitor was really good at running away.

There were several situations where he almost lost his head, but he narrowly avoided the attacks.

It was so serious that he wondered if God was helping him.

Taylor gritted his teeth as he watched the traitor hide again, using the giant monster Floklade as a shield.

‘What the hell is that strange aura…!’

There was another reason why Taylor couldn’t deal with the traitor.

It was the aura that the traitor was using.

A strange, never-before-seen form of aura that seemed to be a mixture of magic and magical power.

Now, he couldn’t help but flinch every time a purple light burst out.

“This is really pissing me off…”

Taylor roughly swept back his hair.

At that moment, a giant tentacle flew from the sky.

Taylor’s sword moved like lightning.

Skeok!

“This guy and that guy are pissing me off to death…”

Even so, the biggest problem was Floklade.

That annoying monster left the traitor, who was sticking to it, alone and only attacked him and the other Warriors.

If it hadn’t been for him interfering, the situation wouldn’t have turned out like this.

Taylor sighed.

‘The Pope is going to say something.’

Nearly twenty Warriors had died in a short time.

It was difficult for more casualties to occur.

In the first place, this operation was given overwhelming power in order to hunt the enemy reliably without damage.

But so many Warriors had died…

When he returned, the Pope would nag him.

‘There’s no choice. I’ll deal with Floklade now.’

The damage would only get worse if this continued.

It was possible that hunting Floklade itself would become impossible.

If that happened, he would have no choice but to let go of that traitor as well.

At that moment.

The traitor next to Floklade raised his hand.

At the same time, Taylor’s face crumpled like paper.

‘That bastard…’

The traitor smiled and raised his middle finger.

He smiled like a winner, as if he were reading Taylor’s mind.

Even at this moment, Floklade was even more angry that he didn’t attack him as if he were on the same side.

‘Laugh all you want. It won’t last long…!’

Taylor gritted his teeth.

First, he would kill Floklade.

After that, he would punish that arrogant traitor.

He had placed a tracking spell on him anyway, so he could catch him even if he ran away.

If necessary, he could order other Warriors to watch the traitor so he couldn’t escape.

‘I’ll peel the skin off his face alive so he can never laugh again.’

With that determination, Taylor swallowed his anger and kicked off the ground.
