Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad [EN]: Chapter 235

Time passed relentlessly.

Before they knew it, two weeks had gone by, and it was the day of the duel.

Doritugs appeared at the appointed place alone.

His expression showed no anxiety or hesitation.

His movements were leisurely.

It was inevitable, as Doritugs had no reason to be nervous.

‘Sidriel is completely isolated. No demons will help him this time, and even if someone does, Sidriel will lose his honor the moment they do.’

Even if Sidriel had set a trap and was waiting, it didn’t matter.

He was confident he could break through any trap and escape.

Running from an enemy was shameful, but if the other side broke the rules first, it didn’t matter.

It was no longer a fair fight, so there was no need to respond.

Of course, most demons were fools who would charge in regardless, but at least Doritugs wasn’t one of them.

“Sidriel. I see you’re alone.”

Finally arriving at the appointed place, he saw Sidriel waiting alone.

Sidriel nodded, his expression clearly tense.

Doritugs smirked.

“I commend you for coming without running away. It seems you have at least some pride left as a Demon King.”

A light provocation.

Sidriel didn’t respond, only stared at Doritugs.

“I heard you were holed up somewhere for the past two weeks. Did you go through some special training?”

“…”

“If you don’t want to answer, so be it.”

Doritugs shrugged.

If the other side didn’t want to talk, he didn’t intend to force it.

“Then let me ask you one last thing.”

Doritugs took a stance, looking at Sidriel with cold eyes.

“Any last words?”

Instead of answering, Sidriel kicked off the ground and charged.

Doritugs grinned and nodded.

“Good answer!”

***

Doritugs thought.

That this fight would end trivially.

Although their physical specs were similar, there was an overwhelming difference in experience between them.

However, contrary to expectations, the battle was neck and neck.

The two fought fiercely, alternating between magical combat and hand-to-hand combat.

‘Not bad.’

Doritugs calmed his surprised heart.

Sidriel’s attacks were cruel and persistent, and his senses were as sharp as a battle-hardened mercenary.

He didn’t feel like a hothouse flower who had been living in the Demon King’s castle.

Doritugs admitted.

‘I misjudged him. He’s a decent talent.’

He shouldn’t underestimate him just because he’s young.

Perhaps it was the Demon King’s bloodline.

The power from the bloodline couldn’t be ignored.

But that was it.

He was stronger than expected, but not enough to be a threat to him.

‘In the end, he’s still just a kid.’

Doritugs gathered his magic power to the fullest.

His figure blurred, and magic power shot out like a storm.

Gedrican Extinction Swordsmanship

Ninth Form – Sword to Destroy the Emperor

Gedrican Extinction Swordsmanship [a powerful and ancient martial art].

The most powerful martial art passed down in the Gedrican family to which Doritugs belonged.

Among them, the ‘Ninth Form – Sword to Destroy the Emperor’ was famous for having the strongest power within the Extinction Swordsmanship.

Whoosh-!

The magic power flew, tearing through the air.

At the end of it was Sidriel, panting.

“I…!”

She squeezed out all her magic power and countered.

Kwaaaang-!

The air trembled with a roar.

The sword shattered from the impact.

Along with the fragments of the sword, Sidriel knelt on the floor.

“Haa…! Haa…!”

Covered in blood, Sidriel gasped for breath.

Her breathing was precarious, as if it would stop at any moment, perhaps because her lungs were damaged in the last attack.

“I was really going to kill you this time, but you managed to survive.”

“Keuheok…! Huk!”

“Honestly, I admit it. You are strong. If we had fought a hundred years from now, no, even fifty years from now, the result would have been different.”

He was serious.

Sidriel never gave in weakly.

Doritugs had used nearly half of his magic power fighting her and had wounds all over his body.

If time had passed and Sidriel was stronger than she was now.

If she had more refined skills.

The course of the battle would have changed.

“Well, unfortunately, that time will never come.”

“I, I…! Huk! Not yet…!”

“You seem to be having trouble breathing. Let me put you out of your misery.”

Doritugs raised his sword.

He intended to end it in one fell swoop by striking Sidriel’s neck.

At that moment.

“Okay. That’s enough.”

A stranger who suddenly appeared threw a punch.

Doritugs quickly raised his sword to block the attack.

Kooong!

Doritugs stepped back with a heavy impact sound.

He narrowed his eyes.

The stranger who attacked was someone Doritugs knew.

“Choi Hyun-seok?”

A human who used to work under Hemis.

He was the one who appeared and interfered during the Demon Clan Assembly a while ago.

“Why are you here?”

“Can’t you tell by looking? I’m here to take care of you.”

Choi Hyun-seok said, swaggering.

Doritugs scoffed at the answer.

“Keuk… Keuk…”

The small laughter that leaked out soon exploded.

“Hahahaha!”

With his laughter, powerful magic power spread in all directions.

“How ridiculous. So ridiculous! Sidriel. For a Demon King to ask a human for help! And what? Take care of me? Hahaha! That’s the funniest joke I’ve heard all year!”

Doritugs spread his arms wide.

“I am Doritugs, the First Legion Commander. How dare a human alone try to face me. I’ll give you credit for your confidence. No, at this point, it’s not confidence, it’s recklessness.”

“What are you talking about? When did I say I’d fight you alone?”

“Hmm…?”

Choi Hyun-seok smirked and shot up mana.

Then, magic power began to boil from all directions.

Doritugs’ face turned pale in an instant.

“You don’t mean…!?”

“Of course, I called a lot of friends. Let’s see how long the First Legion Commander can last.”

“You cowardly bastards!”

Doritugs quickly used space movement magic.

The opponent had already completed all preparations.

From the beginning, he had entered the open mouth of a demon.

He had to run away now.

‘Barrier!?’

However, space movement magic could not be used.

The enemy had deployed a barrier to block it.

At the same time, the ground shone, and a pre-prepared magic circle was activated.

Woooooong-!

A huge barrier surrounding the area.

It completely blocked Doritugs from escaping.

“Damn it!”

Doritugs spat out a curse and glared at Choi Hyun-seok.

The magic power surrounding him was gathering towards Choi Hyun-seok.

‘Is it a kind of enhancement magic?’

It wasn’t just one or two.

Dozens of enhancement magic spells were stacked and permeated into Choi Hyun-seok.

That was a very dangerous method that could cause the body to explode.

However, the person in question was absorbing the magic power very calmly.

“Do you think you can beat me by doing this!?”

“You were so confident a while ago. Do you understand the situation now?”

“Shut up! I’ll show you what a difference in class is!”

Doritugs gathered his magic power.

Now that it had come to this, all that was left was a frontal breakthrough.

It was an unexpected situation, but he didn’t think he would lose.

No matter how many enhancement magic spells he received, he was just a human.

He was a being at the pinnacle of the demon race.

“I was born a predator. You humans are just prey. I’ll show you the difference!”

“You talk too much. Just come at me.”

Choi Hyun-seok snapped his fingers.

The enraged Doritugs kicked off the ground and jumped up.

***

When Choi Hyun-seok asked for help.

Olaven Grimier of the Drasen Empire set one precondition.

“We will not show ourselves no matter what. If Sir Choi Hyun-seok is defeated, we will retreat immediately.”

“I agree.”

The Drasen Empire would not come to the forefront in this matter.

The magic corps would only play a supporting role, and Choi Hyun-seok would have to do the actual fighting alone.

Choi Hyun-seok readily accepted the condition.

“That’s enough.”

Although it was only support, he knew what kind of power the Drasen Empire’s magic corps possessed.

He judged that he would have a good chance of winning if they helped.

“Die!”

Doritugs flew into the sky.

Just as he was about to swing his sword.

Binding magic flew from all directions.

“These bastards…!”

Doritugs had no choice but to twist his sword and cut down the flying magic.

“First, one hit.”

In the meantime, Choi Hyun-seok, who had approached, stretched out his fist.

Doritugs, whose posture was disrupted, hurriedly raised his arm to block it.

Kwaang-!

The shockwave spread with a roar.

Doritugs stepped back.

As soon as the distance between the two widened, binding magic flew from all directions again.

“Ughaaaa!”

Doritugs raised his magic power and used his fighting spirit.

Gedrican Extinction Swordsmanship

Third Form – Sword to Destroy the Army

The sword energy surged and struck in all directions.

Not only the flying magic.

The wave of sword energy swept away even the place where Choi Hyun-seok was.

Its power was enough to change the terrain in an instant.

As a legion commander, he had overwhelming power.

‘I have no choice but to block it.’

The attack range was too wide to avoid.

Choi Hyun-seok used defensive fighting spirit.

Nobilis [Choi Hyun-seok’s unique fighting style]

Sixth Form – Divine Kingship

Purple mana spread and swallowed the incoming wave of sword energy.

At the same time, Choi Hyun-seok charged forward.

Doritugs responded by swinging his sword, but Choi Hyun-seok easily dodged it as if he had expected it, and stretched out his hand.

The palm touched Doritugs’ chest.

Soon, a purple flash burst.

Nobilis

Eighth Form – Death of a Traitor

The infiltrated mana caused an explosion inside Doritugs.

Doritugs spat out blood and retreated from the unexpected attack method.

“Keuheok…!”

If he had simply stretched out his fist and attacked, he would not have been hit so easily.

Doritugs’ strong magic power would have blocked any attack.

However, Choi Hyun-seok naturally let the mana flow and reliably inflicted damage by exploding it from the inside.

‘It’ll be hard to see the fun next time I use it, but this is enough.’

This fighting spirit is a technique that is easy to counter if you know it.

So, he can only use it once against a high-level enemy, but that one time was enough.

Judging from the fact that he continued to cough up blood, it was clear that Doritugs had suffered a major internal injury.

“You…!”

Doritugs didn’t even have time to be angry.

The moment he distanced himself from Choi Hyun-seok.

Binding magic flew again from an invisible place.

He cut down the magic with his sword, but the number was so large that he was hit by several spells.

“This mere magic…!”

His body was as heavy as if it were wet with water.

It felt like someone was holding onto his arms and legs and wouldn’t let go.

Doritugs quickly released his magic power to shake off the magic.

His body returned to normal in an instant.

He tried to regain his posture and continue the battle, but.

Choi Hyun-seok had already arrived in front of him and was launching an attack.

Nobilis

Fifth Form – Usurpation

A turning kick flying from right next to him.

This time, he was too late to react and couldn’t block it.

The instep of his foot was accurately planted on Doritugs’ temple.

Kwajik! Kwajik! Kwajik! Kwaaaaa-!

Doritugs, who had flown away, was only able to stop after smashing several large trees.

He gasped for breath and raised his head.

“Heoeok…! Heok…!”

There was no way to find the timing to attack.

Doritugs thought.

The mages who were casting binding magic from around him.

He didn’t know how many there were, but he had to deal with them first.

“I’ll kill them all!”

Doritugs drew out as much magic power as he could.

He was going to blow away the entire area.

Using such large-scale magic would have great aftereffects, but he couldn’t help it.

“Who’s going to let you use it?”

Choi Hyun-seok, who had approached before he knew it, used his fighting spirit.

Nobilis

Tenth Form – Absolute Army

The last form of Nobilis that has been released so far.

Unlike the forms that usually consist of one or two movements, the tenth form is dozens of linked movements.

Kwajik- Kwang! Kwaang!

Fists and feet flew fiercely.

As the series progressed, Choi Hyun-seok gradually accelerated, leaving behind purple afterimages.

Thanks to this, Doritugs, whose magic had been canceled, was busy suppressing the reversing magic power and defending.

Kkwang! Kwang-!

Choi Hyun-seok’s attacks gradually became stronger.

Doritugs realized that he had reached his limit.

He thought he was constantly blocking the attacks, but no.

When he came to his senses, he could see himself being helplessly beaten with his arms drooping.

Unable to withstand the shock, his mind gradually faded.

‘Am I going to lose like this…?’

Certainly, Choi Hyun-seok was strong.

However, he was not so strong that he could not win.

If they had fought one-on-one.

If he had fought in perfect condition, the result would have been different.

He could never accept this result.

“Hoo…”

Before he knew it, Choi Hyun-seok’s fighting spirit ended.

Doritugs, covered in blood, muttered with a swollen face.

“I will become the Demon King…”

Choi Hyun-seok didn’t bother listening to the rest.

“Achieve that dream in your next life.”

Without hesitation, his fist was planted.

Doritugs’ head, which no longer had the strength to block, exploded miserably.
