Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad [EN]: Chapter 142

Abelson gasped for breath.

Her legs trembled, and the mace in her hand felt excessively heavy.

‘How much time has passed…?’

She looked around.

The surroundings were filled with the remains of the Undead.

Though there were still more Undead roaming around than her.

It was certain that she had defeated a considerable number of enemies.

‘I used too much divine power recklessly.’

Using divine power excessively to protect the townspeople in the early stages of the battle had been the cause.

She had consumed about half of her total divine power with just two releases.

Considering that one generally doesn’t use even a tenth of their total reserves when using magic, it was clearly an over output.

It wasn’t even proper magic, just a brute force release.

It was practically an act of trying to ruin her body.

Having fought non-stop for hours in such a terrible condition, Abelson’s body had reached its limit.

‘Is Choi Hyun-seok okay…?’

Abelson turned her head to look at Choi Hyun-seok.

“Hahaha! Another level up!”

Choi Hyun-seok was laughing like a madman, continuously swinging his fists.

He had huge horns growing on his head.

The environment filled with mana seemed to be giving him strength instead.

He looked far from a hero, but it was fortunate that there seemed to be no problem with the battle itself.

“These boneheads. They have a surprisingly good feel to them!”

She forced herself to look away from the hero who was spouting nonsense.

‘…He’ll be okay.’

It seemed like his mind was a little sick, but that was much better than his body being sick.

Abelson checked on Bobo next.

“Kuaaang!”

Bobo was still going strong as well.

Even in a situation where high-ranking Undead had increased over time, he was crushing enemies without hesitation.

Actually, this was a natural thing.

From the start, Bobo was the strongest of the group.

Crunch, crunch!

Bobo seemed to be hungry, as he chewed on enemies in the middle of the battle.

But soon after, he spat them out.

“Ptooey!”

A pile of bones and flesh splattered out.

He growled lowly, seeming very angry.

He was probably annoyed because it didn’t suit his taste.

‘Anyway, there won’t be a problem holding out until the Dominant Entity appears.’

The dense mana was giving strength to Bobo and Choi Hyun-seok.

It was the worst situation for Abelson, but those two were the core force anyway.

If they were okay, that was enough.

‘Maybe really…’

Hope began to appear.

The enemies were still numerous, and even getting stronger, but even so.

‘We might be able to win.’

She couldn’t prevent a village from being annihilated.

But, she might be able to prevent it from turning into a bigger disaster.

Abelson firmly gripped her mace and steeled her mind.

Gooooooo…!

Suddenly, the mana began to swirl.

A tremendous amount of mana was gathering in the center of the village.

Abelson bit her lip tightly.

‘Could it be…’

The mana that had been floating in the air plunged to the ground in an instant.

Whoosh!

Abelson frowned at the storm of mana that blew in.

‘It has begun.’

The mana, which seemed like it would swallow everything, disappeared in an instant.

Instead, the ground shook and something began to rise.

Poosh…!

Huge bones emerged from the earth.

It was from a demonic beast.

Despite being made of only bones, it had tremendous size and imposing presence.

‘Dragon!?’

For a moment, she thought of the legendary demonic beast, the Dragon, but soon shook her head.

‘It’s not a Dragon. What is it?’

It was smaller than a Dragon, and its appearance was different.

Decisively, the huge wings that symbolized the Dragon were not visible.

‘That is…’

Abelson’s eyes narrowed.

Something was placed on top of the huge demonic beast made of bones.

Judging by the size, it was a human.

He was holding a long stick that seemed to be a weapon in his hand.

‘I know!’

Abelson’s eyes widened.

She finally realized the identity of the enemy.

At the same time, the concern that had been lingering throughout the battle was resolved.

‘This place is where the Stancana Forest used to be.’

Abelson had been worried from before.

What kind of place is this?

What happened in the past that so many remains are buried here?

It’s not even just human remains.

Rather, more than half of the remains were presumed to be from the Demon race.

Then that means this is a place where the Demon race and humans fought a war.

‘The battle that took place in the Stancana Forest 250 years ago.’

Seeing the huge demonic beast and the human riding on it, she finally realized.

This place is where a great war took place 250 years ago.

‘And the man on top of the demonic beast is probably Lopar Dozer.’

Lopar Dozer was the best hero at the time.

A man who was called the best hero on the continent, not just a hero of the Mariette Kingdom.

People believed without a doubt that he would soon become a legend.

But, unfortunately, he died at the young age of thirty-seven.

Right here, in the Stancana Forest.

‘He led the battle to victory by sacrificing his life, and finally remained a legend.’

After he died, the people who survived the battle all said.

Lopar Dozer was not just a hero.

He was already the legend himself.

***

Choi Hyun-seok was startled.

Suddenly, the mana swirled and a giant monster made of bones rose from the ground.

“What is that…”

“I don’t really know either…?”

Choi Hyun-seok frowned at Rachel’s answer.

“What do you even know?”

“I know very well that Hero is screwed now.”

“Damn it.”

As Rachel said.

The situation was very bad.

‘The mana alone is on a different level than the other guys.’

It was such a powerful mana that the hairs on his skin stood on end just by facing it.

Choi Hyun-seok hurriedly took out the combat power measuring device.

[ Combat Power : 192,450 ]

“As expected.”

It barely reached the combat power measuring device that can measure up to 200,000.

It wasn’t as high as he thought, but it’s still not an easy opponent.

“Abelson! Is that monster the Dominant Entity [a powerful, central undead being]!?”

Even though it was clear to anyone that it was the Dominant Entity, he asked for confirmation.

However, the answer that came back was unexpected.

“That demonic beast is not the Dominant Entity!”

“Huh?”

Choi Hyun-seok blinked.

A huge body with a height of 10m and a combat power of 200,000.

If that guy isn’t the Dominant Entity, then what is?

“Look above the demonic beast!”

Choi Hyun-seok looked up.

Then he saw a skeleton riding on top of the demonic beast.

“What is that?”

“Lopar Dozer! A hero of the past, whose power is practically legendary.”

“Huh…?”

Choi Hyun-seok had a dumbfounded expression.

His power is legendary.

This is a completely unexpected situation.

Choi Hyun-seok has never even seen a legend before.

Looking at the Demon King’s army commanders, who are treated as the same level as legends, there is no answer.

‘Rat. Park Hyun-ah. Lip Monster…’

They are all monsters that you can’t even associate with.

There was not even a shred of possibility.

Just in case, he checked the guy with the combat power measuring device.

[ Combat Power : Cannot be measured ]

“What the hell…”

A curse word comes out naturally.

As Abelson said, the real one was the skeleton on his head.

“It’s funny to ask this now, but can we win?”

“I don’t know.”

Abelson also had a tense expression.

Can she win against the legendary Lopar Dozer?

She gripped her mace tightly.

“The opportunity is only now. He has just awakened, so he is much weaker than he was in life. Besides, Lopar Dozer is a person who reached the legend after death. It’s not a complete legend, so there is a possibility.”

“Hmm… I understand.”

Choi Hyun-seok understood Abelson’s words in his own way.

‘It was the same with Nicolo’s hero party.’

Even if they were resurrected as Undead, they didn’t seem to have all the power they had in life.

Even if that man named Lopar Dozer was close to a legend, he would not be in perfect condition now.

“But it doesn’t change the fact that he is stronger than us.”

“…”

“He will regain his strength as time passes. Before that. We have to kill him in this place now.”

Abelson said with a determined expression.

It is the appearance of an unexpected big shot.

Now that most of the core forces are located on the border of the Demon Realm, the inside is bound to be weak.

If Lopar Dozer is released as it is, it will not end with one or two cities being destroyed.

In the worst case, one country may be destroyed.

“I understand.”

Choi Hyun-seok loosened his body.

“There’s no way to run away now. Let’s give it a try.”

***

The demonic beast swung its huge forefoot.

It was agility that didn’t match its size.

Choi Hyun-seok quickly stepped back.

The forefoot struck the spot where he had been, and a roar echoed.

“By the way, what is that demonic beast! [referring to the skeletal beast]!?”

“The commander of the Demon King’s 3rd Division, which was notorious at the time, was raising it. He died at the hands of Lopar Dozer.”

“Ha! He’s enjoying himself on top of the demonic beast he killed. It’s not even funny.”

Choi Hyun-seok clicked his tongue as he looked at Lopar Dozer, who was still not coming down from the top of the demonic beast’s head.

“Anyway, they are all the same Undead now.”

It was a strange irony that those who had been tearing each other apart when they were alive were united as Undead after death.

“By the way, why is that Lopar guy still doing that?”

He couldn’t understand Lopar Dozer, who had not participated in the battle even though quite some time had passed.

Abelson shouted urgently.

“He’s recovering his strength! We have to kill this demonic beast quickly and bring Lopar Dozer down.”

“I understand. Let’s go! Bobo!”

Choi Hyun-seok and Bobo ran.

The demonic beast was so big that even Bobo, who was the size of an elephant, looked small.

“You draw aggro ! I trust you!”

“Kuaaang!”

Looking at the combat power alone, the demonic beast and Bobo are at a similar level.

Choi Hyun-seok believed in Bobo and ran.

‘Draw him into battle before he recovers more.’

If Lopar Dozer is recovering his strength as Abelson said, this will not work.

He had to somehow draw him into battle and finish him when he was in an incomplete state.

‘Anyway, if I just finish that guy, this situation will be resolved.’

There is no need to worry about other Undead.

If the Dominant Entity, Lopar Dozer, dies, all the Undead will stop as they are.

Choi Hyun-seok, who finally grabbed the tail of the demonic beast, began to climb up.

“Oh! Hero! You look like a gymnast!”

It was not easy to get on top of the demonic beast that was shaking due to the battle.

Even though there were only bones, there was no place to grab.

Yet, Choi Hyun-seok continued to run on the demonic beast without falling precariously.

‘There.’

Finally, Lopar Dozer’s appearance began to be seen properly.

He was still sitting in a comfortable position on top of the demonic beast’s head.

‘Is that a spear in his hand?’

He was holding a long stick, and looking at the end, it seemed to be a spear.

‘I’ll take care of him at once while he’s turned around.’

Choi Hyun-seok activated mana.

[ Crepitus Mode ]

The back of his calves and both palms changed like exhaust pipes.

Mana exploded from there, and Choi Hyun-seok flew at tremendous speed.

‘I have to succeed no matter what.’

In Crepitus Mode, Choi Hyun-seok can fly in the sky and move at a much faster speed than before.

It was still dangerous to use it in actual combat because he was not proficient in control, but now was not the time to worry about this and that.

Choi Hyun-seok flew straight towards Lopar Dozer.

‘Here I go…!’

Finally, Choi Hyun-seok arrived above Lopar Dozer.

He twisted his body 180 degrees in the air.

He bit his teeth tightly and maximized the output of mana.

Kwaaaaa-!

Momentarily, a huge explosion occurred from the back of his calves.

Choi Hyun-seok’s leg fell vertically.

‘It went in accurately!’

Choi Hyun-seok cheered softly.

It was an act close to a stunt, but fortunately, it was successful.

The leg was flying accurately towards Lopar Dozer’s face.

It was such a tremendous speed that even Choi Hyun-seok himself had a hard time reacting.

‘It’s too late to avoid it.’

Lopar Dozer in a sitting position cannot avoid the attack.

Then the guy started to move.

In a completely unexpected way.

Clunk.

Lopar Dozer grabbed Choi Hyun-seok’s leg as it was.

‘You crazy bastard!’

The speed, as well as the power, is an attack that is not inferior to a decent aura [a powerful energy field].

He grabbed it with his bare hands.

Without even caring.

A flame ignited in the guy’s empty eye sockets.

-Are you… a Demon?

Instead of answering, Choi Hyun-seok kicked the other leg.

Nobilis

Type 2 – Expression of Respect

Originally, it is a type of leg kick that attacks the opponent’s lower body.

However, since Choi Hyun-seok is relatively higher now, it resulted in aiming for the enemy’s head.

-This…

Perhaps this attack was unexpected, Lopar Dozer’s reaction was a little late.

Kwaaaaa-!

A purple flash occurred as the shin and temple collided.

“Demon?”

Choi Hyun-seok smiled and then answered the guy’s question.

“I am the Hero.”
