Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad - Chapter 19

“Everyone, run!”

Choi Hyun-seok shouted loudly.

The cooks began to run as if the shout was a signal.

“Ahhh!”

“Scary!!!”

The cooks scattered in all directions, like a swarm of roaches churning out when the living room lights were turned on.

Of course, the Talas Queen didn’t just sit back and watch.

The queen’s legs, which are over ten meters long, shot out.

Psh! Psh!

Like skewers, the cooks were stabbed by her legs.

“Kelton! I’m sorry! I’ll make sure your body is boiled with pork!”

“F-fuck off…!”

The cooks fled, leaving their dying companion behind.

There was no sense of guilt because there was no camaraderie in the first place.

“Keuruek…!”

Seeing the fleeing cooks, the queen gave a flat growl.

She wanted to kill all these bastards and avenge her babies.

But she can’t do it on her own.

Realizing that, the queen let out a roar.

“Kiiiieee!”

The whole forest trembled at the queen’s cry.

Some cooks sank to the ground at the cry that was imbued with mana.

Choi Hyun-seok also stumbled and grabbed a tree.

“Why is her voice so loud?”

When he was looking at the queen in shock.

Shashasha…!

He began to hear the rustling of grasses everywhere.

Choi Hyun-seok looked around anxiously.

“This is bad…”

Shashasha…!

The growing noise.

Trees and grasses everywhere shook like crazy.

It’s as if the whole forest was moving.

“Kiieek…!!!”

It wasn’t long before the noises were identified.

“Motherfucker!”

Hundreds of Talas!

They were also adults, not like the babies they had hunted a while ago.

It wasn’t as big as the queen, but its size was still that of a car.

He had a look of hopelessness on his face as hundreds of such demon beasts swarmed in from all directions.

“Hey, hero! What do we do now!?”

Rachel panicked.

“Kulkan! We need to find him!”

Choi Hyun-seok gritted his teeth.

The Talas’ combat power is about 8,000 on average.

On the other hand, Kulkan’s combat power exceeds 30,000.

He was sure he could dig his way out of this mess.

“Kiieek!”

Then a Tallas swung its leg.

Choi Hyun-seok quickly threw himself back.

Woosh!

A sharp claw passed in front of him.

The Talas didn’t stop its attack.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Sharp claws flew in.

He’ll become a skewer the moment he gets stabbed by such a thing.

Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes shone as he barely avoided the attacks.

‘There’s a big difference in combat power, but…Maybe it’s worth a try!’

He’s the one who had knocked out Kubakum in one blow.

Maybe it was also possible against the Talas.

Ta, ta!

Choi Hyun-seok dodged and watched for an opportunity.

‘Now!’

The moment its legs pass by.

He swung his knife at its leg.

Ting!

There was a noise as if he was hitting iron.

Choi Hyun-seok’s whole body trembled from the vibration.

“Ugh…”

His grip on the kitchen knife almost ripped off.

He was certain it was him who swung the knife, but it felt like it was him who had taken the brunt of the damage.

“It’s not going to work! Let’s run!”

That exchange was enough to grasp the enemy’s strength.

Choi Hyun-seok turned around.

“Where’s that Kulkan bastard?”

The only answer is to find Kulkan.

He looked around frantically.

Boom!

“There!”

Fortunately, not far away, he saw Kulkan causing a disturbance.

Bang!

Although he was the first to flee, Kulkan was also a cook.

A Talas who was hit by Kulkan’s fist exploded.

His strength was incomparable to the other cooks.

Kulkan was smashing the Talas with such great force.

“As expected, 35,000 combat power isn’t just for show!”

Choi Hyun-seok hurried to the place where Kulkan was.

He was going to run away after Kulkan opens a path.

However, Choi Hyun-seok wasn’t the only one with such an idea.

“H-head cook Kulkan! Please save me!”

“Ahhh! Head cook!!!”

The cooks were also running towards Kulkan.

Some of them were strong enough to win against the Talas, but no one thought of fighting.

Because there were so many enemies and the queen had such strength that they didn’t even dare approach.

In this situation, the only thing to do was to put their trust in the boss.

“H-hey…!”

Kulkan became surprised when he saw the cooks running towards him.

“Don’t come! The queen is going to come this way!”

“Head cook, sir! Save me!”

“Ahhh! Fuck off!”

Kulkan frantically began to open a path.

Choi Hyun-seok quickly followed behind Kulkan.

“Kiieeh!”

The queen was quickly approaching the large number of cooks.

Boom, boom, boom!

It was a horror in itself when a spider as large as a commercial building ran at them.

The queen, who quickly caught up to the cooks, began stabbing them one by one.

“Keuk!”

“Keuk!”

The screams of the cooks pierced by the queen’s legs resonated.

Choi Hyun-seok’s mind reeled.

‘Everyone will die at this rate.’

With the queen closely following behind, it was no longer safe with Kulkan.

Choi Hyun-seok looked around like crazy.

‘Somewhere I can hide by myself…’

At that moment, something came into Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes.

‘A cave!’

A fairly large cave was seen hidden by the grasses.

It was a cave large enough for an adult Talas to enter.

‘The queen can’t enter.’

It would be a big problem if by chance an adult Talas followed, but it was still better than being followed by the queen.

He couldn’t keep running and die like this, so he was going to gamble.

‘It’s worth a try.’

No one seemed to care about the others falling out of order, as they were all running away wildly.

“Ahhh! Get the fuck away!”

In addition, the Talas’ gazes were fixed on Kulkan.

It was the perfect situation to sneak away.

Shuwah!

Choi Hyun-seok sneakily turned around.

No one had followed.

“Heuk, heuk…”

Choi Hyun-seok, who got near the cave in an instant, breathed heavily.

“Did I lose them…?”

Choi Hyun-seok looked carefully outside the cave.

“Ahhh!”

“Kiieeh!”

“Stop following me! You bastards!”

It’s still chaos out there.

Fortunately, no one looked this way.

It seemed that no one had discovered it because it was hidden behind the grasses.

“Haa…I survived…”

Choi Hyun-seok breathed a sigh of relief.

He wanted to sit down and rest right away.

‘But I still have to move.’

There is no time to rest.

He didn’t know when another cook or Talas would come here, so he had to run away quickly.

“Hero. Are you going inside?”

“I have to.”

“You know what’s in there?”

“Then should I stay outside?”

At Choi Hyun-seok’s question, Rachel looked outside.

“Ahhh!”

“Kiieeh!”

Another cook became a skewer.

“Let’s go inside!”

“Yes.”

It was a very quick decision.

* * *

“Do we have to go far?”

“Yeah…”

Choi Hyun-seok slowly entered the cave.

He was very careful every step he took because he didn’t know what was inside.

“But I’m glad. I don’t think anyone’s coming after me.”

Some time has passed since he entered the cave.

Now there was only a faint noise outside.

Fortunately, there seemed to be no other visitors here.

“Hero. What if there’s a very strong demon beast living here?”

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s weird that there’s a cave and no one but you came in.”

“Everyone was in a hurry. And it wasn’t discovered. I was lucky to find it.”

“Umm…but what if there’s a very strong demon beast living here, and that’s why no one else came in…”

“Ugh! You want to keep jinxing it?”

Choi Hyun-seok looked at her with a frown.

Rachel turned her head with a sullen look.

“I’m just saying this because I’m worried…”

He also understood Rachel’s feelings.

Choi Hyun-seok is said to have become stronger in a short period of time, but he’s still a beginner.

Even the forest is filled with demon beasts he can’t handle alone, so it’d be odd if he said he wasn’t worried.

“What’s this…?”

Choi Hyun-seok stopped.

Because a huge cavity appeared in front of him.

“I don’t think it’s just a normal cave…”

The size of the cavity looked as big as a football field at a glance.

An unidentified space.

“Let me take a look.”

Rachel took the initiative to go in first and look around.

“Can you see anything?”

“No. It’s an empty space.”

“Really?”

Choi Hyun-seok slowly entered the cavity and looked around.

“It’s really spacious.”

“Yeah.”

“

Even the height was huge.

“The Talas Queen could fit inside here.”

“Yeah…”

A space where even the Talas Queen can move without difficulty.

Choi Hyun-seok was curious about the purpose of this space.

At the same time he felt nervous.

“We shouldn’t stay. Let’s head back.”

“What? Why all of a sudden?”

“I don’t think a cave this big would be here without a reason. And this gooey thing…”

Choi Hyun-seok scanned the cave walls with his hands.

Slichk…!

Some unknown sticky substance.

The texture was very unpleasant.

“I think I saw something similar on the way back…Anyway, there are things like this all over the place, so I’m sure there’s something…”

When Choi Hyun-seok was talking.

“Kiieek, Kiieek…!”

An ominous sound came from behind.

Choi Hyun-seok became shocked when he turned around.

“Motherfucker!”

“Kiieek!”

Before he knew it, an adult Talas had appeared and screeched as it rushed towards him.

“Hero! Run!”

“I know!”

Fighting wasn’t an option.

Because he realized when he swung his knife at an adult Talas earlier.

It’s not an opponent he can win head-to-head.

Choi Hyun-seok ran away with all his might.

‘What kind of hero life is this!?’

Since he was the best martial artist on Earth, he thought he would become the best hero.

However, the reality is that he became Slave A who fell into the demon’s fortress.

Then he suddenly became a dog keeper after joining the demon army.

And recently, he hunted demon beasts with the demon cooks.

Now he was on the run from a demon beast.

All this happened in less than two months.

‘I never would have chosen to be a hero if I had known that this was how my hero life would turn out!

Hope and dreams.

He had dreamed of getting married to a blonde noblewoman and having a mansion.

However, reality was an endless disappointment.

“Huh…!?”

Choi Hyun-seok, who was running away, suddenly stopped.

“Haa…fuck…”

It’s a dead end.

He arrived in a room after running for a long time, but it was a dead end.

“What the hell is this?”

Littered on the ground were mysterious balls.

Perhaps it was the eggs of a Talas.

“Running away from all the Talas only to find a dead end that happens to be its hatchery…”

He didn’t think it was possible even if he was lucky.

“My rotten luck.”

Unlike Choi Hyun-seok who was depressed, the Talas looked very happy.

“Kiieeh!”

Choi Hyun-seok knew there was no place to run anymore.

He gritted his teeth.

“Come and get me, you motherfucker!”

“Kiieeh!”

“Bring it on, bastard!”

It seemed to have understood what Choi Hyun-seok said.

The Talas quickly charged at him.

‘What should I do!? Come on, think!’

Choi Hyun-seok wracked his brain like crazy.

“

He bravely shouted, but he didn’t want to die.

He hasn’t even met a noblewoman with blonde hair yet.

He hasn’t even seen his rabbit-like children yet.

He didn’t want to end this life as an old bachelor.

In the meantime, the Talas who had approached struck its leg down with tremendous speed.

“Huh!?”

Boom! Boom!

Every time a sharp leg hit the ground, a ferocious sound was heard.

Choi Hyun-seok frantically ducked and rolled on the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, a leg came down.

Cold sweat ran down his entire body under the terrifying momentum.

‘I’m really going to die at this rate! I have to do something!’

Just before he became a skewer.

Choi Hyun-seok noticed something strange.

‘Isn’t its movements unnatural?’

The Talas was a bit strange.

Until now, the Talas who had been shooting down its legs like crazy was suddenly swinging its legs unnaturally.

Choi Hyun-seok squinted as he dodged behind it.

‘What? What’s wrong with it all of a sudden?’

Although the Talas swung its legs, it was faltering awkwardly.

Then something came into Choi Hyun-seok’s view.

‘Don’t tell me…?’

He looked at the eggs on the ground.

When he quickly picked up an egg, the Talas stopped as if it was frozen.

“You. You’re worried about this, aren’t you?”

Choi Hyun-seok smiled wickedly.
