Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad [EN]: Chapter 60

Choi Hyun-seok immediately began experimenting.

He intended to master the idea he had just come up with before he forgot it.

“Sigh, whoosh…”

He steadied his breathing in front of a massive boulder.

‘I need to smack the mana’s head at the last moment. That’s why I’m only opening one hole when it’s really angry.’

The plan was simple.

First, use only mana to utilize Aura.

Then, just before the Aura is activated, push the mana from behind with magic power.

Of course, the mana will go wild, but the Aura is already being activated.

If you block the back with magic power, the mana will inevitably express its anger as the existing flow goes.

Choi Hyun-seok’s idea was that the power of Aura would increase much more as a result.

‘Well, I won’t know until I actually try it.’

It sounds simple, but it requires tremendous magic power control to execute.

In addition, if you’re not careful, the mana could run wild inside your body, endangering your life.

Nevertheless, Choi Hyun-seok was willing to try.

‘It’s not the time to leisurely pursue only safe paths.’

He takes the risk.

The growth rate afterward will be greater than the risk taken.

“Sigh…”

Choi Hyun-seok drew mana from his body with his breath.

‘Raidrun-style martial arts.’

At that moment, as he prepared to use Aura.

Words Raidrun once said flashed through Choi Hyun-seok’s mind.

“Calling the name of Aura is a kind of trigger.”
“To put it simply, it makes the body remember the name and Aura as one.”
“You won’t understand it right away. For now, just remember that you need to give it a name that suits Aura and repeat it.”

The Aura Choi Hyun-seok is currently trying to use is Raidrun-style martial arts Type 1, Total Destruction.

However, it will be a slightly different form of Aura from the existing one.

‘A name, huh? It would be nice to give Aura a name that sounds as cool as possible.’

Even while he was thinking, the mana was steadily moving.

Choi Hyun-seok’s fist was pulled back, and just before the mana inside was about to burst out.

He gathered magic power and pushed the mana out with all his might!

“Ugh…!”

Choi Hyun-seok’s face contorted with the onrushing pain.

As expected, the mana began to run wild like crazy.

‘Now is the important part.’

Choi Hyun-seok blocked all passages with magic power to prevent the mana from leaking out.

Naturally, the mana resists even more.

‘Shut up and move as you were going!’

Choi Hyun-seok pushed the mana even more fiercely.

Crackle!

Black lightning began to rise from Choi Hyun-seok’s entire body.

‘Go!’

He stretched out his fist and guided the mana.

The rampaging mana stretched forward as if it had found an outlet.

Raidrun-style Martial Arts Modified Magic Drop Strike

The black lightning that stretched out collided with the rock.

Thud!

The massive boulder trembled as if there had been an earthquake.

‘Did I fail…?’

Just as Choi Hyun-seok was looking at the rock with tired eyes.

Crack!

Hairline cracks appeared all over the rock.

“Got it.”

Choi Hyun-seok grinned.

Soon, the rock exploded.

Kaboom!

The fragments of the rock scattered into the air.

Choi Hyun-seok slumped down, hit by them.

“Haa… I somehow managed to succeed.”

Twice as strong as before.

No, it’s three times stronger.

“But I don’t want to do it again…”

It felt like his whole body was being torn to shreds by the rampaging mana.

Just as Choi Hyun-seok was breathing heavily.

The notification he had been waiting for rang.

[You have created a new Aura]

[You have completed the Hero Quest]

[You have acquired 1,000 Hero Points]

“Yes!”

The notification didn’t end there.

[You have developed a new method of mana operation]

[A great achievement that has overcome the limits of a Hero and broken the existing framework!]

[A special reward will be given!]

[Strength stat has increased]

[Agility stat has increased]

…

[Hidden stat Mana has increased]

“Huh… ?”

Numerous unexpected system notifications greeted Choi Hyun-seok.

“How is Choi Hyun-seok doing these days?”

Hemis asked.

Raidrun paused for a moment before opening his mouth.

“He is dedicated to training every day.”

“What kind of training?”

“He is thinking of creating a new Aura that combines mana and magic power.”

“Oh ho~”

Hemis smiled as if she was interested.

“He’s doing something quite reckless. Do you think it’s possible? Even within a month.”
“Choi Hyun-seok has already made the impossible possible several times. So, I’m going to believe in him this time too.”

“Well, I’ll cheer you on.”

Hemis had no intention of interfering with Choi Hyun-seok’s training.

Her purpose was to enjoy the surprise later rather than getting involved in everything.

“By the way, about this battalion commander tournament.”

“Yes.”

“It wouldn’t be very meaningful to just make them fight, would it?”
“Do you want to see their command abilities?”

Raidrun immediately understood what Hemis was trying to say.

“That’s it! It won’t change anything if we bring in a brainless idiot.”
“Hmm… Do you have any specific methods in mind?”

“Here. Read it.”

Hemis tossed a stack of documents.

Raidrun took it and carefully read through it.

‘Hmm, is this what you’re thinking…’

The method was a bit extreme, but it was a good plan.

It seemed like a good picture would come out if he supplemented it a little.

“Raidrun. I’d like you to refine it a bit.”

“Understood.”

“Thank you. You’re the only one for me.”

Hemis smiled brightly.

But it was still a grotesque smile with huge lips.

Raidrun knew the real appearance hidden inside.

“Then, I’ll be going.”

After the conversation ended.

Raidrun left Hemis’s office and headed straight to the training ground.

Because Choi Hyun-seok’s training time was approaching soon.

‘Preparing for the battalion commander tournament. And Choi Hyun-seok’s training. I’ll be busy for a while.’

Come to think of it, it had always been like this since Choi Hyun-seok came.

The Demon King’s army, which had been stagnant in the past without progress or regression.

The inflexible and old-fashioned group is changing little by little.

He didn’t know if it was a good or bad direction, but at least Raidrun was looking at it positively.

‘Choi Hyun-seok needs to go higher.’

Transfuse human blood into the Demon King’s army.

A high-ranking commander of human origin.

Unlike the demons, the flexible human mind will breathe life into the Demon King’s army.

“Hmm? Did he already arrive?”

While thinking about this and that, Raidrun had already arrived at the training ground.

“Choi Hyun-seok. You came early and were waiting for me.”

Choi Hyun-seok, as usual, came early and was waiting for him at the training ground.

“You don’t look good, is something wrong?”

Choi Hyun-seok’s skin was dark and there were shadows under his eyes.

He looked particularly out of condition than usual.

“Ah, it’s nothing! Haha!”

“Is that so…”

“Yes. By the way, I have finally developed a new Aura!”

Raidrun was startled by the sudden declaration.

“Are you saying you created an Aura that combines magic power and mana!?”
“Hmm… Should I call it a combination…?”

Choi Hyun-seok scratched his head and continued.

“I think it would be faster to see it in person.”
“That would be good. Use it on me right away.”

Choi Hyun-seok was a little embarrassed by the words to use Aura on him.

“On Raidrun-nim?”
“Yes. The best way to find out the power of a new Aura is to experience it yourself.”

“…”

“I won’t avoid it, so use it quickly.”

After hesitating for a moment, Choi Hyun-seok nodded.

“Understood.”

Raidrun watched Choi Hyun-seok with sharp eyes.

He wanted to know what mechanism was used to combine mana and magic power inside.

‘The start is moving only mana for now.’

Choi Hyun-seok’s mana rises.

‘Is he using Total Destruction?’

The Aura Raidrun-style martial arts that he created.

Mana is moving in the same path as its Type 1 Total Destruction.

Frowns appeared on Raidrun’s brow.

‘When is he going to use magic power?’

If he activates Aura as it is, nothing will be different from before.

It is commendable that he can use Aura, which he used to use only with magic power, with mana, but that’s it.

If he can’t use the two forces at the same time, Choi Hyun-seok is only using half of his maximum output.

‘Hmm!?’

At that moment, Raidrun’s eyes widened.

‘He’s not merging mana, but rather pushing it away?’

He could see it clearly.

The mana attacked by magic power begins to run wild in Choi Hyun-seok’s body.

Crackle!

Mana was sharply emitted from Choi Hyun-seok’s body.

The sight was like black current flowing.

Raidrun-style Martial Arts Modified

Magic Drop Strike

Finally, Aura is activated.

Raidrun drew up mana.

‘It’s dangerous.’

Originally, he was just going to take Choi Hyun-seok’s Aura.

But this is not it.

His instinct warned him.

If he doesn’t stop this, something dangerous will happen.

‘It’s coming!’

A storm of mana and magic power mixed together flies in.

Mana, which was originally highly aggressive, becomes even more excited and runs wild to the point where it is impossible to control.

Soon, Choi Hyun-seok’s Aura collided with Raidrun.

“Cough…”

Raidrun groaned softly.

‘It’s a unique attack.’

The mana, which has become ferocious like a monster, slashed his whole body.

The pain is, of course, excellent in power.

“Raidrun-nim. Are you okay?”

Choi Hyun-seok asked as Raidrun frowned.

“I’m fine.”

Raidrun released mana once again.

Whoosh!

The mana and magic power remaining in his body flew away at once.

Minor wounds heal in real time.

“Instead of merging mana and magic power, they collide even more. It’s not a technique to use with a sane mind.”

“…”

“Very good.”

“Thank you…!”

Choi Hyun-seok smiled brightly at Raidrun’s compliment.

***

Lick!

“Hmm…?”

Choi Hyun-seok opened his eyes with difficulty.

He could see Bobo licking his face.

Lick!

“Why am I here?”

This is Bobo’s house.

‘Until just now, I was showing Raidrun the new Aura?’

Just as he was thinking strangely.

“You’ve done something strange again.”

A familiar voice was heard from the side.

“Mr. Abelson?”

Abelson Marriott was looking at him.

“I’m sure I told you. Be careful because the mana is not stable yet.”

“…”

“The mana that had barely calmed down is running wild again.”

It seemed that he had lost consciousness again because he had forced the mana to work.

“I’m sorry…”

Choi Hyun-seok lowered his head.

He had nothing to say even if he had ten mouths in front of Abelson.

Then Abelson got up from his seat.

“Fortunately, we’ve passed the critical moment. But still, take a rest for a while.”
“Oh, are you leaving already?”
“Yes. Because it’s late.”

Choi Hyun-seok endured the pain and got up.

“Mr. Abelson! I’ll treat you to a meal later.”

At the word meal, hesitation flashed across Abelson’s face for a moment.

‘Meal… delicious meat…’

Saliva gathered in his mouth without him knowing.

‘No…’

Choi Hyun-seok’s food is delicious, but Choi Hyun-seok needs to rest now.

He shouldn’t make him move unnecessarily.

“It’s okay… It’s more important to rest now.”

She said, clenching her eyes tightly.

“I’m already fine! If I treat Mr. Abelson to a meal, I’ll feel better!”

“No, it’s okay…!”

Abelson screamed and left.

“Uh…? Why is she like that?”

Choi Hyun-seok opened his eyes wide and looked at the place where Abelson had left.

“Hero! Never mind! You don’t have to treat such a sly fox to food!”

Rachel, who was standing on Bobo’s head, shouted.

“Why is Abelson a sly fox!?”
“Haven’t you seen any cartoons, Hero? A woman who pretends to be so elegant is always the mastermind!?”

“Haa… That’s enough.”

Choi Hyun-seok shook his head.

Then, he saw a strange piece of paper.

“Hmm? What is this?”

“Ah! That cow head left it behind.”

“Is that so?”

The paper left by Raidrun.

Choi Hyun-seok immediately checked the contents.

“Hmm… I can’t figure it out.”

It’s a letter I can’t recognize at all.

Choi Hyun-seok still didn’t know the letters here.

“I’ll read it to you.”

Perhaps out of consideration, the paper was written in the common language of the continent, not the language of the demons.

Rachel, who knew the common language of the continent, read the document aloud.

“Battalion Commander Tournament event decided!”
“What!? Tell me more!”

Finally, the battalion commander tournament was in full swing.
