Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad [EN]: Chapter 164

“Touch me… and you’re dead!”

“It can even talk!?”

Cardrack came running, his ample flesh jiggling.

Despite his massive frame and seemingly clumsy body, his speed was anything but slow.

‘If I get hit, I’m looking at a minimum of 12 weeks of recovery.’

He was moving much faster than Choi Hyun-seok could at full sprint.

He gripped Bobo’s fur tightly.

“Bobo! Run!”

“Kwang!”

Bobo kicked off the ground, and almost simultaneously, Cardrack’s club landed where Bobo had been.

Kuuuung!

The ground vibrated with a deafening roar.

It wasn’t just a figure of speech; you could really feel the earth shaking.

Cold sweat trickled down Choi Hyun-seok’s back.

‘I think I messed with the wrong guy…’

Choi Hyun-seok was certain.

The moment he got hit by that club, it was a one-way ticket to the afterlife.

Having witnessed its speed and power firsthand, the monster’s physical abilities far exceeded his expectations.

“Bobo! Be careful!”

“Kwang!”

Bobo, too, had seen the club’s power and was on high alert.

Kuuung! Kuuung! Kuuung!

Cardrack’s club relentlessly pounded the ground.

Each time, Bobo narrowly dodged the club, displaying incredible agility.

“Human! If I catch you, I’ll kill you!”

“Great. This should be enough.”

They had stalled for enough time.

Choi Hyun-seok threw the yellow fruit he was holding.

“Eat this and get lost!”

“My, my treasure!”

Cardrack ignored Choi Hyun-seok and ran towards the fruit.

Choi Hyun-seok and Bobo exchanged knowing smiles as they leisurely left the forest.

***

The plan was a complete success.

While Choi Hyun-seok and Bobo drew attention, Rahel and Abelson had gathered the fruit.

“Hehehe! Hero! Hurry!”

“Alright.”

Choi Hyun-seok carefully cut the fruit.

A sweet fragrance filled the cave.

Gulp-!

Without waiting for each other, the group swallowed at the same time.

“This time, you have to divide it into four equal parts for me too!”

“I know, so don’t rush me.”

Choi Hyun-seok cut the fruit into exactly four pieces and shared them with the group.

The group began to devour the fruit ravenously as soon as they received it.

“Hehe! That idiot probably doesn’t even know the fruit is gone!?”

Rahel said, stuffing her mouth full of fruit.

“Of course not! Judging by the way he talks, he’s just a dumb minion of the Demon King!”

“Kawaang!”

“So delicious…”

Barely a minute had passed.

The fruit had vanished without a trace.

The group stared at the scattered fruit peels on the ground with regretful expressions.

“Hmm…”

“Um…”

“Kwang…”

A strange atmosphere flowed between Choi Hyun-seok, Abelson, and Bobo.

Then, Rahel jumped up.

“Let’s do it again!”

The group nodded as if they had been waiting for it.

“Alright! Let’s go!”

***

The orc Cardrack’s expression was deadly serious.

He kept shaking his head, his cheek fat jiggling, as if he was dissatisfied with something.

“Twenty-two! Twenty-three! Twenty-four!”

Cardrack sat down on the ground after counting the numbers several times.

“That’s strange. One is missing.”

No matter how many times he counted, there were not enough fruits.

“Why are there only twenty-four?”

Originally, there were a total of twenty-five fruits.

But now there were only twenty-four.

He was sure because he had counted it ten times just in case.

One fruit had disappeared.

“Kueung…! It’s the human’s doing. Humans are cunning!”

It was clear that the human who appeared with the monster earlier had secretly stolen the fruit.

If they appeared again, he would teach them a lesson.

Just as he was thinking that.

“Nice catch!”

“Kwang!”

Bobo and Choi Hyun-seok, who appeared from the forest, snatched the fruit hanging far away.

“Human! I’ll kill you! Treasure! Only I can eat it!”

Cardrack started chasing after them, snorting.

Watching him chase, Choi Hyun-seok laughed like crazy.

“Hahaha! Let’s share! You’re so greedy; that’s why you’re getting fat, you jerk!”

“I’ll kill you! My treasure! Give it back!”

After a short chase.

Choi Hyun-seok, judging that he had stalled enough time, threw the fruit.

“Here! I wouldn’t eat it even if I was starving!”

Cardrack hurriedly ran to prevent the fruit from breaking.

Choi Hyun-seok and Bobo smiled slyly and leisurely left the forest.

***

“Keeheeheeheet!”

“Keuheuheu…!”

“Haa… haa…”

“Kawaang!”

The group gathered in the cave again.

Choi Hyun-seok divided the fruit into exactly four equal parts and distributed them.

“Eum~ This is the taste!”

“Hero… I’m so happy, I could die!”

“Kwang!”

“I’ve eaten all sorts of delicacies in the royal palace… but this fruit is the best…!”

The group’s eyes glazed over.

Before they knew it, only the fruit peels remained on the ground.

Rahel jumped up.

“Hero! Let’s do it again!”

“Alright!”

“Let’s go right now!”

After that, the group repeated stealing the fruit several times.

Each time, the foolish Cardrack had no choice but to have his fruit stolen right before his eyes.

“Eum…”

The group stole the fruit a total of five times.

Before they knew it, a considerable amount of fruit peels had piled up on the ground.

The group looked at the fruit remains with regretful expressions.

“Eating so little by little only makes me feel tantalized.”

“I agree.”

“I digest everything while going back and forth, so I’m hungry no matter how much I eat…”

“Kawaang!!!”

Bobo barked particularly loudly.

He felt wronged.

Bobo was the biggest one here.

Bobo also consumed the most energy running away.

Bobo thought he should get half of the fruit, but these greedy humans didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so.

It was a pity that he couldn’t express this injustice in words.

“Kwang! Kwang!”

“Okay. I get it. Let’s go get more!”

“Kawaang!”

“Why? What’s the problem?”

Bobo raised his front paw and pointed to the peels on the ground.

Then he pointed to his mouth.

Again, he rubbed his belly with a pitiful expression.

“You’re still hungry?”

“Kwang!”

“Euhm… well, this wouldn’t even be enough to whet Bobo’s appetite.”

Choi Hyun-seok stroked his chin and pondered.

Then, Rahel clapped her hands as if she had a good idea.

“Hero, instead of doing this, let’s just sweep them all away! When I looked earlier, there seemed to be about twenty left!”

“Really? I thought there were only ten, but there were so many!?”

“Exactly! We shouldn’t be so timid and bring them one by one! What if that pig goes crazy and eats all the fruit? Then it’s over!”

At Rahel’s words, the group’s expressions turned serious.

“That’s right… if we keep doing this, he might eat the fruit first.”

“That can never happen!”

“Kwang!”

Choi Hyun-seok made a determined expression.

“Alright! This time, let’s scrape them all up!”

“Woo!”

“Yes!”

“Kwang!”

The group shouted, punching their fists into the air.

Their eyes were all strangely glazed over.

***

The orc Cardrack was wearing a very, very serious expression.

“My treasure… my treasure is disappearing…!”

Every time that monster and human appeared, one fruit disappeared.

“Strange! Human threw away fruit! But why!?”

Cardrack had definitely confirmed that Choi Hyun-seok had thrown away the fruit.

But when he returned home, one fruit would disappear like a ghost.

After pondering for a while, Cardrack soon thought of something.

“There’s an accomplice!”

It was clear that the human’s accomplice had taken the fruit while he was away.

“Bad guys… cunning humans!”

As expected, humans are cunning and vicious.

Cardrack snorted and got angry.

Just then.

“We’ll take this one too!”

Choi Hyun-seok and Bobo, who appeared from somewhere, snatched the fruit.

Cardrack, who was already angry, rolled his eyes and chased after them.

“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you! Don’t take my treasure!”

“I don’t want to! I don’t want to! Kehehehehe!”

Choi Hyun-seok laughed like crazy with glazed eyes.

“Kawaang! Kwang!”

Bobo also stuck out his tongue and wiggled his butt.

“Uaaaaa! Give me back my treasure!”

Cardrack, who was chasing them mindlessly, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

“Wait.”

If he continued like this, it would be the same situation as before.

While chasing the human and the monster, they would throw away the treasure and run away.

In the meantime, another guy would take the treasure at home.

He couldn’t let that happen.

“One will sacrifice.”

Cardrack turned around and started running.

“Hey! Where are you going, you jerk!”

Choi Hyun-seok shouted in surprise.

Cardrack ran back to where he had been without looking back.

“Bobo! We have to chase him!”

“Kwang!”

***

Rahel dropped the fruit, and Abelson below caught it.

“Keeheeheeheet! Already twelve! We can eat three each!”

Rahel laughed strangely with half-glazed eyes.

“Shall we go back now?”

At Rahel’s question, Abelson shook her head.

“Just… just one… more…”

“Okay! Okay! One more~”

The moment Rahel dropped the fruit again.

“Humaaaaan!”

A roar like the sky was falling came.

When they turned their heads, they saw Cardrack, who was sprinting through the forest at a terrifying speed.

“W, we’re screwed! Run away!”

Rahel shouted in surprise.

Abelson also turned around and started running as soon as she saw Cardrack.

Even while running away, she didn’t give up the fruit and held a bunch of them.

“The fruit! You have to throw away the fruit!”

At Rahel’s words, a look of concern flashed across Abelson’s face.

“This precious thing…”

She gritted her teeth and threw one fruit.

Cardrack slapped away the fruit flying towards him.

“Humaaaaan!”

“All of it! Throw it all away! You’ll die if you don’t!”

Cardrack was already right in front of them.

The moment he was about to swing his club at Abelson.

“Here!”

Abelson, who thought she was really going to die, threw all the fruit in desperation.

And Cardrack’s club swung.

Kwaaaang!

With a roar, dust rose.

Soon, a sweet fragrance began to spread throughout the forest.

“Uh…?”

“Could it be…?”

Soon the dust cleared.

What was revealed was the wreckage of the smashed fruit.

“My treasure…”

Cardrack looked down with a face as if he had lost his country.

His belly, which was swollen like a hill, was covered with fruit pulp that had splattered as the fruit was crushed.

“My treasure…!”

Cardrack knelt down.

He was sobbing and stroking his belly, trying to collect the pulp somehow.

“Uh… it wasn’t me…”

Abelson turned her head slightly and avoided responsibility.

“I, if you eat it within three seconds, it’s okay!”

In the meantime, Rahel hurriedly jumped into the crushed fruit remains on the floor.

“My… treasure… my treasure!!!”

Cardrack, who had come to his senses, jumped up.

A fierce murderous intent was swirling in his eyes.

“I’ll kill you.”

He must hold the human, the monster, and the rat-like thing accountable.

He would chase them to the end and kill them all, no matter what it took.

“Waguwagu! This is the taste! This taste!”

First of all, that fly, who is even worse than a rat, who dares to arrogantly steal and eat his treasure right in front of his nose, is the first victim.

Cardrack raised his club high.

“Hey! Is this the time to be eating that!?”

Choi Hyun-seok, who arrived at that moment, snatched Rahel and Abelson.

“Are you crazy!? You have to eat while watching the situation!?”

“Hero, take the peel off your mouth before you talk!”

“Ahem! Do you see it?”

Choi Hyun-seok smiled with an embarrassed face.

Even in that urgent moment, he had shared the fruit he was holding with Bobo.

“Kawaang!”

Bobo stuck out his tongue with glazed eyes, feeling good.

“Bobo! This is not the time! We have to run away!”

“Am I… am I the only one who didn’t eat…?”

“I ate half of it at once earlier, and it was very delicious. Hahaha!”

The conversation is not properly connected, and the flow is chaotic.

A voice full of anger was heard from behind.

“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!!!”

“Bobo! Full speed!”

Bobo kicked off the ground.

At the same time, the entire forest began to shake.

“Kyaaaaaa-!”

“Kawaaaa!”

Monsters drawn by the sweet scent rushed in from all directions.

“What the hell is this again!?”

“It must be because of the smell!”

Even the monsters who had been afraid of Cardrack and couldn’t come close couldn’t stand the scent of the fruit being crushed all at once and rushed in.

The desire given by the scent of the fruit was so sweet that it could not be suppressed by fear.

“Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!”

Every time Cardrack swung his club, the monster’s head exploded.

The power was so strong that it gave the illusion that a bomb was exploding inside the head.

“Run away! You’ll really die if you get caught!”

“Kawaang!”

If they die, they can’t eat fruit either.

Bobo desperately ran through the forest with the group on board.
