Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad [EN]: Chapter 250

“The current Hero and the 1st Magic Corps have arrived near the destination. There is no engagement yet, and they will begin the operation as scheduled in 5 minutes.”

“Understood. Report immediately if any unusual situations occur.”

“Yes.”

Olaven Grimier stroked his magnificent mustache.

His sharply torn eyes emitted a chilling glow.

‘Those Gatren bastards are being quite cautious.’

Gatren already knows about the attack that will happen today.

Yet, they are showing no movement.

This means one thing.

They intend to lure Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah as deep as possible to deal with them decisively.

‘Not a bad situation for us.’

It’s the worst for the two acting as bait, but it’s not a bad situation for the Drasen Empire.

The enemy’s cautious movements were proof that they believed our words.

‘Gatren will think we betrayed Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah. They won’t completely dismiss their suspicions yet, but soon, when the operation begins, even that small doubt will completely disappear.’

Gatren must have many concerns.

Is it true that they are handing over Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-ah?

Isn’t it just a trick to buy time?

What is the possibility of a diversionary tactic?

Or, what if what they thought was bait is actually an all-out attack?

They would have considered countless possibilities and prepared to respond to every situation.

It’s natural to doubt and doubt again.

But what if Park Hyun-ah and Choi Hyun-seok really fall into the trap?

From that moment on, there is no need to doubt.

‘At that moment, they will投入 [throw in/commit] all their forces to capture them.’

High-ranking priests, nobles, even the Pope.

All of Gatren’s attention will be focused on the capital.

That’s when we need to move.

Drasen also desperately prepared to make this operation a success.

Seven magic corps.

Five elite knight orders.

Two legends.

The forces投入 [invested] in this operation alone are about half the empire’s strength.

‘Destroy the magic circle sleeping under the bastards’ Grand Cathedral to stop the insane magic called the Empire’s Devotion.’

Their goal is to destroy the magic circle hidden beneath the Deusis Church’s Grand Cathedral.

To that end, they prepared eight secret space- 이동 [teleportation] gates.

The operation will end when they enter these gates connected to eight Grand Cathedrals, destroy the magic circles, and return.

‘After this, a full-scale war with Gatren may break out, but it can’t be helped. They crossed the line first.’

This operation投入 [required] human and material resources that could stagger even the giant empire of Drasen.

The only reason they are going this far is to stop the magic called ‘Empire’s Devotion.’

If that weren’t the case, Drasen would never have engaged in such a reckless battle.

“Commander! The operation has begun.”

Upon the adjutant’s report, Olaven Grimier rose from his seat.

“All troops. Prepare to breach.”

About 10,000 elite troops are waiting in front of the eight gates.

Olaven Grimier said, looking at them.

“Show them why Drasen is the best.”

***

The journey so far has been very comfortable.

We haven’t encountered the enemy, nor have we felt any presence.

Why is that?

Park Hyun-ah thought from Gatren’s perspective.

‘They want to lure us as far inside as possible.’

They can’t move rashly and make us run away.

So they wait until we come in as deep as possible.

‘But they shouldn’t let us in too deep. Otherwise, the capital could become a mess.’

They let the enemy in deep, but they must not give up the center.

If they are not careful, the capital could be destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.

The point where they can get as close as possible without threatening the capital.

Park Hyun-ah found that location instinctively.

“Stop.”

“Why are you stopping?”

“We start the operation here. If we go any further, they will move.”

Everyone looked doubtful, but Park Hyun-ah didn’t bother explaining.

There’s no need to explain everything one by one, nor is there time to do so.

“Tell the main force that the operation is starting.”

Now we move.

In about 10 minutes, the main force will also take action.

Park Hyun-ah finalized the situation.

“Remember. Our superficial goal is the assassination of the Pope. We must appear as if we are really prepared for that.”

“Yes.”

“The more we rampage, the more certain we become as bait.”

Everyone nodded at Park Hyun-ah’s words.

“Good. Let’s start.”

The first to move was Drasen’s Magic Corps.

Thousands of wizards moved in unison, drawing a huge magic circle.

“Sister! They’re coming!”

Choi Hyun-seok shouted.

The enemy began to act as soon as they sensed that we were trying to use magic.

“Don’t worry about them! Everyone, gather mana, and Choi Hyun-seok! Focus only on entering the capital!”

The primary goal of the operation is to enter the capital.

So we confuse the enemy and make them think that our attack is genuine.

Woooong…!

Thousands of wizards gathered mana together.

Wizards who become magic circles themselves and shine.

Although they are clones weaker than the main body, they are the most powerful 1st Magic Corps in Drasen.

They are pouring all their energy into completing only one magic.

Park Hyun-ah assisted from the center because the clones were lacking.

After a few seconds.

Park Hyun-ah, judging that enough mana had been gathered, shouted.

“Choi Hyun-seok, run!”

Choi Hyun-seok immediately kicked off the ground and ran.

The enemies were already right in front of us.

At this rate, it was obvious that we would be surrounded before arriving in Gratiam.

At that moment.

The magic was completed.

Drasen Secret Magic

Empire Spear Modification

A huge spear floated in the air.

The spear, which was nothing more than a mass of concentrated mana, was hundreds of meters long.

Park Hyun-ah stretched out her clenched fist.

“Destroy them!”

The spear tore through the atmosphere and moved forward.

Swaeeeeeeek-!

“W-What is that!?”

“It’s coming this way! We have to run….”

“Too late!”

The enemies blocking the front were helplessly swept away by the storm.

Even being caught up in the aftermath, not directly hit by the magic, tore the skin and blew away the body.

“Kkeuaaaa!”

“Get a hold of yourselves! Deploy the barrier!”

Choi Hyun-seok quickly moved towards Gratiam, passing by the enemies who couldn’t come to their senses.

A ferocious smile hung on his running face.

‘Bait, huh…’

The superficial purpose of this operation is the assassination of the Pope, but no one expects it to succeed.

Just to keep the enemy’s attention for as long as possible.

Even this bait role is natural because it was the worst mission with a low probability of success.

However, Choi Hyun-seok had no intention of being satisfied with just being bait.

‘I will kill the Pope! And return alive with dignity!’

I have no intention of being futilely defeated at the very end.

I didn’t overcome so many trials just to be bait.

I will somehow succeed.

I will succeed and return alive.

At the moment of determination.

Gratiam’s defense system was activated, and a barrier was erected.

Woooong-!

A huge barrier surrounds the entire city.

The tremendous divine power that even Choi Hyun-seok was amazed by.

It would take a tremendous amount of mana and time to break through that barrier alone.

However, there is a huge spear, a mass of mana, in front of Choi Hyun-seok.

Kugugugugugu-!

The Empire Spear collided with the barrier, causing vibrations.

In terms of mana alone, the barrier surrounding the entire city is overwhelming.

However, the purpose of the Empire Spear is not to destroy the entire barrier.

Kwaddeuk, Kwaddeuk…!

A small hole.

It was enough to make a small hole in the huge barrier that people could pass through.

Park Hyun-ah directly modified the magic for that purpose.

The magic was a great success.

Chaeaeaeang-!

The spear disappears at the same time as making a small hole in the barrier.

Even that small hole will be filled in a few seconds.

Choi Hyun-seok jumped into the hole without hesitation.

‘I’m in!’

After entering the barrier, he crosses the fortress walls without hesitation.

I could see the bewildered faces of the enemies waiting inside.

“The barrier has been breached!”

“How!?”

“Stop him! Don’t let him get into the city!”

The enemy, who had been waiting just in case, but did not expect the barrier to actually be breached, was flustered.

‘These guys are small fries. I ignore them and pass by!’

Choi Hyun-seok ignored the flustered enemies and passed by.

‘The goal is the temple in the center of the city. The Pope!’

The destination is the Grand Cathedral where the Pope is.

The splendid building visible in the distance was definitely the Grand Cathedral.

It seemed like I would arrive in 3 minutes if there were no obstacles.

Then someone stood in Choi Hyun-seok’s way.

“That’s far enough!”

Kinley Fusel, one of the continent’s best legends, suddenly swung a huge hammer.

The power was not easy, so Choi Hyun-seok had no choice but to step back.

Hoooong-!

A strong wind pressure was fired along the trajectory of the hammer being swung.

Choi Hyun-seok immediately went down to the city center.

It was more important to meet the Pope at the Grand Cathedral as quickly as possible than to waste time fighting.

‘If there are people, that woman won’t be able to run wild.’

Movement will be restricted in the city center, and it will be easier to shake off the pursuit.

“Where are you running!”

With a shouting voice, I feel a strong mana from behind.

Choi Hyun-seok was startled.

‘Crazy! Using Fighting Spirit in the middle of the city!?’

It’s not just mana in the hammer.

Clearly, it contained mana to use Fighting Spirit.

If the hammer falls as it is, the area will be destroyed.

Civilians will be swept away.

However, Choi Hyun-seok realized that his worries were unfounded.

‘The city is empty…?’

I can’t feel any presence around me.

The capital Gratiam was already empty.

The enemy had already predicted this far and emptied the city.

‘It’s better this way.’

The plan went a little wrong, but it didn’t matter.

It’s the same for us that movement becomes free when there are no civilians.

Choi Hyun-seok activated mana.

Nobilis

Type 1 – King’s Walk

The body accelerates, creating a purple afterimage.

The hammer heading towards Choi Hyun-seok grazed the afterimage and struck the ground.

Kkwaaaaaang-!

The ground shook, and buildings within a radius of hundreds of meters began to collapse.

As the buildings collapsed, sand dust scattered in all directions.

“Where are you!?”

Kinley Fusel hurriedly looked around.

The view was obscured by the dust.

For some reason, Choi Hyun-seok’s mana was felt from all directions, so I couldn’t pinpoint his location.

“Damn it!”

Kinley Fusel swung the hammer.

I thought I should clear the sand dust first.

Hoooong-!

The view ahead is cleared by the wind pressure.

Choi Hyun-seok was still not visible.

“Did he run away?”

At that moment when she was wondering.

Nobilis

Type 4 – Authoritative Death

Choi Hyun-seok’s fist fell from above.

It was too late to avoid it.

Kinley Fusel surrounded herself with mana to prepare for the impact.

Kwaddeuk! Kkwaaaang-!

Kinley Fusel, hit by the fist, was buried in the ground at a terrifying speed.

Even if it’s not a fatal wound, it must have been hit.

Originally, I would have chased after him and finished him off, but Choi Hyun-seok didn’t.

‘Another legend is coming.’

I felt an aura approaching quickly.

It was definitely Kinley’s colleague.

If I tried to finish Kinley here, I would get involved with him.

Then I will be stuck here longer.

The longer I stay, the more enemies will flock to me.

In the end, I will be surrounded and unable to move, and I will meet my end.

‘I’m going to the Pope’s place before that!’

Choi Hyun-seok ran again.

I must not stop even for a moment.

Now, if I go a little further, it’s the Grand Cathedral.

I was going to deal with the Pope and end everything.

“You bastard! Do you know where this is!?”“Stop him! Don’t let him in!”

A barrier was spread around the Grand Cathedral, and at the same time, holy knights poured out.

“Get out of the way, you 잡졸 [lowlifes]!”

Choi Hyun-seok released mana as he fell towards the Grand Cathedral.

Nobilis

Type 7 – King’s Wrath

The magic protecting the Grand Cathedral is broken, and the holy knights’ formation collapses.

In the meantime, Choi Hyun-seok quickly broke into the temple, blowing away the enemies blocking the way.

‘I can feel it.’

Inside the temple.

A huge divine power was felt from deep inside.

It was definitely the Pope’s energy.

I quickly moved forward, breaking through the enemies popping out from all over the place.

“Here it is.”

The place I finally arrived at was a gorgeously decorated space.

A place presumed to be a chapel.

Inside, an old man in white clothes was waiting.

“Are you the Pope?”

“That’s right. You must be Choi Hyun-seok.”“That’s right. Nice to meet you, now die!”

Quick decision and quick action.

Choi Hyun-seok immediately activated mana.

‘I don’t know how strong the Pope is. I have to hit him with all my strength without giving him a chance to respond.’

Fighting Spirit saved for this moment.

Plomot Modification

Stage 1 – Blooming

Plomot, which used to be used with Demonic energy.

It has been modified to be used with mana.

I haven’t fully adapted yet, but now is not the time to be picky.

“Kkeuaaaa!”

The skin turns red.

It feels like my whole body is burning in hot fire.

Strength overflows from my body along with extreme pain.

‘Let’s go!’

Choi Hyun-seok kicked off the ground.

Too-oong-!

The moment I thought I had to go to the Pope.

Choi Hyun-seok had already arrived in front of the Pope.

A tremendous speed that even I couldn’t handle.

Choi Hyun-seok didn’t panic and moved his legs.

‘I’m going to hit his head like this…!’

Just before his leg was about to hit the Pope’s head.

I made eye contact with the Pope.

‘He’s reacting?’

Even Choi Hyun-seok himself is not properly recognized due to the speed.

But the Pope was looking directly into my eyes.

“How rude.”

Koo-oong!

Lips muttering softly.

Eyes shining sharply.

The moment I thought I recognized it.

Choi Hyun-seok was flying through the roof of the Grand Cathedral.
