Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad [EN]: Chapter 174

“Mohaaan!”

Liam, the best warrior of Ballington, cried out.

Commander Ivan and Mohan.

They were precious comrades who had spent their entire lives together.

They had contributed the most to establishing the Ballington Kingdom while serving their lord, Sarah Dunphy.

One of them had his head ripped off along with his spine and died.

The other had his head explode and died.

Rage surged to the top of his head.

Crack, bang!

Swish-!

Even at this moment, those detestable two, Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah, were killing his subordinates.

“Kwang!”

“Hold on a little longer!”

The demonic beast constantly stirring around and the woman riding on it were equally annoying.

‘Sixty warriors left, huh?’

The ‘First Warrior Unit,’ where the kingdom’s best warriors gathered.

More than twenty of them had died, leaving only about sixty.

‘If this continues, we’ll be defeated.’

Liam coldly assessed the situation.

The war situation was no longer favorable.

If more warriors died here, the balance would tilt to the other side.

He had to deal with the enemy before that happened.

‘This Magi power… I won’t suppress it anymore.’

He would release everything.

He had been trying to suppress and control the Magi until now, but he would no longer do so.

Liam entrusted everything to the surging anger and Magi.

***

“Now, all I have to do is deal with you, right?”

Park Hyun-ah grinned.

Her magic power was truly running out.

Even if she squeezed it out, she could only use one more high-level magic spell.

Nevertheless, she was relaxed.

‘If I get rid of that muscle pig, Choi Hyun-seok and Abelson can handle the rest.’

In fact, Liam and Park Hyun-ah’s physical abilities were similar.

Liam’s combat power was 320,000.

Park Hyun-ah’s combat power was 450,000.

There was a difference of almost 130,000 between them, but this was due to the difference in magic power.

It was just that Park Hyun-ah’s magic power stat was overwhelmingly high.

In terms of strength, agility, and stamina alone, there was no significant difference between Park Hyun-ah and Liam.

So, in a situation where she had no magic power, Park Hyun-ah fighting Liam was actually a disadvantageous situation.

“Let’s hurry up since we don’t have much time.”

However, Park Hyun-ah had no intention of backing down.

‘I can’t embarrassingly whine about being a little behind in specs [character stats].’

Choi Hyun-seok was working so hard, she couldn’t show him that she was breaking down first.

“What are you doing? Your underlings are all going to die at this rate.”

Park Hyun-ah said, snapping the neck of a hero-class undead.

However, for some reason, Liam was just standing there with his head bowed.

“Well, I like it. Keep standing there like that.”

Park Hyun-ah thought she should reduce the number of other undead in this gap.

At that moment.

Kugugugu…!

A tremendous Magi flowed out of Liam.

At the same time, his skin turned red.

“Uh…? This bastard, could it be!”

Park Hyun-ah quickly ran back.

That was a sign of using Promot [a power-up ability].

An undead.

She didn’t know how a guy who used to be human could use Promot, but she couldn’t let him continue like this.

“Die!”

Park Hyun-ah’s sword cut through Liam’s skin.

‘I’ll cut off his head like this!’

Just before her sword completely severed Liam’s neck.

Flash!

Liam twisted his body and dodged Park Hyun-ah’s sword.

His body, which was retreating, was already completely red.

Her sword unfortunately only cut his skin and didn’t reach any important bones.

‘Damn… I was almost there.’

Park Hyun-ah stepped back, regretting it, and became wary of Liam.

“So, this is what Magi is…”

Liam clenched and unclenched his fist, then suddenly kicked off the ground.

Thwoom!

Faster movement than before.

Even faster than Park Hyun-ah.

He rushed in with a terrifying momentum and swung his sword.

Kwaaaang!

The ground touched by the sword exploded.

Park Hyun-ah frowned as she dodged.

‘Damn… is this déjà vu? I feel like something similar happened a while ago.’

She remembered fighting the pig orc Cardrack.

The difference from that time was that Liam was a much smarter human than the orc Cardrack.

And Park Hyun-ah’s magic power was running out.

In other words, it was the worst in many ways.

“Keuk!”

Park Hyun-ah, who blocked Liam’s sword, groaned and stepped back.

‘I can’t win this. I have to buy time somehow!’

This was Liam’s first time using Promot.

He probably wouldn’t be able to control it properly, and the duration would likely be short.

Originally, the goal was a short-term battle, but in this case, she had no choice but to revise her strategy to endure until Liam’s stamina ran out.

“Hey! Don’t touch that bastard! Take out the underlings first!”

Park Hyun-ah shouted and jumped into the place where the hero-class undead were gathered.

It was to limit Liam’s range of action.

However, Liam didn’t care at all.

“I’ll crush them all! To pieces!”

Whether his subordinates were there or not.

He swung his sword like crazy with bloodshot eyes.

Kwagwagwagwa!

Not only Park Hyun-ah but also other undead were swept away by his attack.

It was then that Choi Hyun-seok appeared.

“Don’t touch my experience points!”

***

A crisis is an opportunity.

After coming to this world, that was the saying Choi Hyun-seok liked next to the survival of the fittest.

Because Choi Hyun-seok had grown up in countless crises.

And now.

In the worst crisis, a golden opportunity had come.

▫Name: Choi Hyun-seok

▫Title: Regular Hero

▫Level: 943

·Strength: 290

·Agility: 286

·Stamina: 300

·Magic Power: 320

·Magi: 320

A whopping 943 levels.

He was at level 852 just before, so he had gained 91 levels in this battle alone.

“Khahahahaha!”

Choi Hyun-seok laughed like crazy.

There were no more crises.

The Promot, along with the tremendously increased stats, gave him tremendous power.

That was because his current combat power was well over 170,000.

He had even used Promot on top of that, so the half-baked undead heroes were no match for him.

[Level Up!][Level Up!]

The level-up alarms kept ringing.

He still gained 1-2 levels each time he defeated a hero-class undead.

There were still over fifty of them left, so he could gain 50 more levels.

“I’m going to reach level 1000 today!”

They said he could reach level 1000 in half a year if he was really fast.

‘Half a year my ass! I’ll finish it in two months!’

Just as Choi Hyun-seok was excitedly running around.

Kwagwagwagwa!

With a roar, Liam appeared.

Liam, with red skin and a ferocious aura.

Choi Hyun-seok had a look of astonishment.

However, he wasn’t surprised by Liam’s ferocious aura.

‘My experience points!’

Two undead were swept away in that one blow.

At least 2 levels were gone.

“Don’t touch my experience points!”

Just as Choi Hyun-seok was about to rush towards Liam.

“You crazy bastard! Get a grip!”

Park Hyun-ah, who had rushed over in a hurry, pushed Choi Hyun-seok with her body.

At the same time, Liam’s sword fell where they had been.

Kwaaaang!

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

He hadn’t properly grasped Liam’s movements.

Moreover, the power seemed to be several times stronger than his own.

“Hey! Are your ears blocked!? I told you to take out the underlings first, not touch that bastard!?”

“I’m sorry!”

Only then did his drug-like mind slowly begin to return.

‘Get a grip!’

He was too excited and drunk on leveling up.

He was running wild among the sheep, and he almost ran into a bear without realizing it.

“I’ll mark this muscle pig, so you keep leveling up! Abelson! You come here and help too!”

Park Hyun-ah shouted and rushed at Liam.

She was trying to prevent him from going to Choi Hyun-seok.

Choi Hyun-seok bit his lip.

‘Noona’s [term of endearment for an older sister or female friend] condition isn’t good.’

He could tell at a glance that Park Hyun-ah was bleeding a lot and was exhausted.

‘I have to wipe out the other guys as quickly as possible and help her.’

Choi Hyun-seok checked his remaining magic power and Magi.

‘Magic power is about half. Magi is about one-third left, huh.’

He could somehow continue to maintain Promot Stage 1.

The problem was the remaining amount of Magi.

If the Magi ran out like this, Promot would inevitably be released, and the backlash would come.

He had to end the situation before that happened.

However, there was a problem.

‘Now that I see it, my body is a mess…’

Choi Hyun-seok’s body had become sluggish.

His whole body was covered in wounds, and his insides were a mess because he had maintained Promot for a long time.

Moreover, he had used other fighting techniques while using Promot, so it would be stranger if his body was fine.

‘This is no time to whine! Let’s go!’

Choi Hyun-seok clenched his fist tightly.

He had to deal with the enemy even a little faster.

“Rachel!”

“Yes! Hero!”

When Choi Hyun-seok shouted, Rachel appeared in the air.

“Buff me!”

“Understood!”

Feeling strength rising in his body, Choi Hyun-seok gave the next order.

“Can you use healing magic during battle?”

“?? I can, but it’s not very efficient. It will waste a lot of magic power…”

“Magic power isn’t important right now. We have to deal with everything before the Magi runs out!”

At Choi Hyun-seok’s words, Rachel nodded.

“Yes! Leave it to me!”

Rachel flew into the sky and used healing magic from a distance.

It was a very inefficient method, but Choi Hyun-seok had to improve his condition even like this.

“Alright! Let’s go!”

He would defeat the enemy before he collapsed.

He was going to execute that simple truth.

***

Liam breathed roughly.

“Huff, huff…”

His surroundings were completely devastated.

The ground was completely overturned, and the trees and rocks that had been everywhere were all smashed.

It was the result of not being able to control the rampaging power and releasing it in all directions.

No matter how much Liam was the best warrior of Ballington, the price for recklessly using unfamiliar power was high.

‘The Magi is backflowing…’

The Magi was rampaging completely out of control.

It was fortunate that he was an undead at times like this.

If he could feel pain, it would have been difficult to even maintain his sanity by now.

‘Just a little, just a little more…!’

Liam desperately moved his body.

The enemy in front of him didn’t look so good either.

Park Hyun-ah was covered in blood and panting, and Bobo was in even worse condition.

Park Hyun-ah had stepped back in the middle, and Bobo had been marking Liam almost alone.

Even though it was a short time, it was impossible for Bobo to stop Liam at his level.

Abelson was the only one in good condition, but Abelson was not Liam’s consideration in the first place.

He could kill him at any time as long as he dealt with the remaining enemies.

“You’re still alive.”

Then he heard a familiar voice, and everyone’s eyes moved.

Choi Hyun-seok was walking over, step by step.

“Are you done cleaning up?”

“Yes. It was very tough.”

“How long can you last?”

“I still have plenty of time.”

“You little… What a bluff.”

Park Hyun-ah chuckled.

Choi Hyun-seok, who was dying at a glance, said that with a confident expression, so she laughed.

“Damn. This is like a gathering of defeated soldiers.”

Park Hyun-ah said, wiping the blood flowing from her forehead.

Liam, Park Hyun-ah, Choi Hyun-seok.

All of them were battered.

But it was clear who had the upper hand in power.

Liam clenched his fist tightly.

‘Time… If only I had a little more time…!’

Liam resented this Magi power.

Because he couldn’t handle this unfamiliar power properly, not only himself but also his subordinates were wiped out.

If it had been the First Warrior Unit in his prime, this would never have happened.

He couldn’t believe that they, the First Warrior Unit of the Ballington Kingdom, who had terrorized the entire continent with Sarah Dunphy, had been defeated by just four people.

“Muscle pig. Give up. You’re already done.”

Park Hyun-ah, who recognized Liam’s condition, said.

“You can barely stand because of the Promot backlash.”

“I haven’t lost yet!”

“Geez, men are so stubborn…”

Park Hyun-ah clicked her tongue and looked back at Choi Hyun-seok.

“Hey. What level are you now?”

“I’m level 987.”

“If you get the last hit on that guy, you’ll almost reach 1000, right?”

“I think so.”

A smile appeared on Park Hyun-ah and Choi Hyun-seok’s faces at the same time.

“Let’s go. Let’s finish it.”

“Yes.”

Just as Park Hyun-ah and Choi Hyun-seok were moving their feet.

A woman with bronze skin and adorned with colorful jewels, Sarah Dunphy, came down.

“You look very tired, Liam.”
