Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad - Chapter 20

Choi Hyun-seok continuously grabbed an egg and threw it into the air.

Something like a scream leaked out of the Talas’ mouth each time an egg flew.

“Hey~! This must be very precious? Eh! You’re in quite a dilemma.”

“Kieek…! Kiek!”

“Whoops! Watch out~ Another egg is falling~”

Choi Hyun-seok threw an egg.

The Talas frantically ran and grabbed the flying egg very carefully.

Then it slowly put the egg on the ground as if it was a treasure.

Choi Hyun-seok smiled and picked up another egg.

“Here! What should I do this time? Eh?”

“Kieeh!”

The Talas screamed angrily.

“

However, there’s nothing it could do.

There were eggs lying on the ground everywhere.

The hero Choi Hyun-seok was a devil that could crush and kill even a young Talas with his boots.

Of course, that was from the perspective of the demon beast.

“This time over here!”

Choi Hyun-seok threw another egg.

Then the Talas ran as if it was a dog being trained.

“Ooh! It’s not there? It’s over there! Here we go! Should I throw it this way? Or over there?”

Choi Hyun-seok seemed to be having fun messing with the Talas.

“Hero. You’re not in a situation to be playing.”

“I’m not playing.”

“At least say that with the corners of your mouth lowered.”

“

Choi Hyun-seok, who was caught, cleared his throat.

“Hmm! It’s a plan to tire the Talas.”

“Why don’t you just throw it toward the walls?”

“Walls?”

“Yeah. Wouldn’t it just run to get the eggs and hit the walls?”

Choi Hyun-seok became surprised at Rachel’s words.

“You’re really evil, aren’t you?”

“So you’re not going to do it?”

“I’ll do it now.”

The hero Choi Hyun-seok picked up an egg and threw it towards a wall.

“This time it’s a little far!”

An egg flew towards a wall.

Looking at the egg, the Talas ran extremely fast.

Papapa!

The demon beast was desperate to save the eggs!

It was indeed a tearful sight.

“Kiieek!”

When the Talas finally grabbed the egg and cheered.

It hit the wall hard.

Boom!

There was quite a loud noise and Rachel closed her eyes tightly.

“Oh my…! Hero. It looks very painful.”

“You’re really evil.”

Choi Hyun-seok glanced at Rachel and picked up another egg.

“I’ll keep going. He’s such a tough guy, I worry if he’ll be able to do it more than once.”

“Ah! Don’t pretend to be nice. Hero!”

“Telling me not to pretend to be nice . Don’t you think there’s something seriously wrong with that sentence?”

“Hmm…”

Rachel, who glanced sideways for a moment, smiled.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about! Haha!”

“Really? I don’t either! Hahaha!”

Choi Hyun-seok threw the eggs with a smile.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Talas hit the wall nonstop.

Since it ran into the walls with a sprint, no matter how tough it was, it had to suffer a considerable amount of shock.

“Kiieeh…”

How many eggs did he throw?

Before he knew it, green blood was running down the Talas’ head.

It seemed to have accumulated quite the damage, as it was staggering and couldn’t stand properly anymore.

“Hahahaha! Hey! An egg is going to break! Do you have time to be resting?”

“Hey! Spider! Will you be able to save the eggs!? Hahaha!”

The hero Choi Hyun-seok and personal fairy Rachel burst out laughing like a pair of villains.

In the meantime, he felt like he was relieving all the pent-up stress since joining the demon army.

“Kiieek!”

The angered Talas cried out.

However, it didn’t faze Choi Hyun-seok.

“Oho! Hero. Doesn’t that little spider look lively?”

“Really? Then I’ll do it again!”

Choi Hyun-seok threw another egg.

But…

“Kiieeh!”

The Talas ignored the egg and rushed towards Choi Hyun-seok.

Perhaps it felt that it would lose at this rate.

“Hero! It’s fucking coming!!!”

Maybe it’s because she was too excited about the sudden situation.

A rather vulgar swear word came out of Rachel’s mouth.

“Rachel! Buff me!”

Rachel immediately used a buff that boosted his physical abilities.

Choi Hyun-seok felt that it was time to wrap things up.

Feeling energized, Choi Hyun-seok picked up an egg.

And then ran face to face at the charging Talas.

“Kiee!”

A huge demon beast that was getting closer and closer.

To be honest, Choi Hyun-seok wanted to run away, but he gritted his teeth.

‘I can win!’

Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes shone.

The look he had a while ago when he was fooling around was nowhere to be seen.

His eyes contained only the temperament of a martial artist who has fought numerous fighters.

“Here!”

Choi Hyun-seok threw the egg forward.

Then the Talas caught the egg in confusion.

At that moment.

Taat!

Jumping into the air, Choi Hyun-seok climbed on top of the Talas’ head.

“Now…”

There’s no time to think.

He has to finish the battle before the Talas could do anything.

“Die!”

Choi Hyun-seok struck the wounded Talas with his fist.

At that moment, a weak light permeated Choi Hyun-seok’s fist.

Boom!

The fist collided with the skin of the Talas.

Perhaps because it had already hit the walls several times and was weakened.

The Talas’ shell broke apart, unable to withstand the shock.

Soon after, he can feel a mushy touch on his hand.

Choi Hyun-seok grabbed at it without hesitation.

Shuwah!

The Talas’ brain and all kinds of internal organs were pulled out with green blood.

Choi Hyun-seok gasped as he was hit by the blood pouring down on him.

“Heuk, heuk…!”

“K-kiieeh…”

“Please just die…”

Choi Hyun-seok squeezed out the last remaining power and hit it on the head.

With that light blow, the Talas collapsed as if it had given up.

Boom…!

The light gradually fades from the fallen Talas’ eyes.

At the same time, a series of notifications rang in Choi Hyun-seok’s ears.

[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[…]

“Ahhh!”

It was the first proper hunt of the hero Choi Hyun-seok.

* * *

Maybe because it took a lot of effort.

But he felt exhausted after the brief struggle.

‘I can’t rest.’

He seemed to have leveled up a lot from the hunt.

He wanted to check his status window.

‘This…’

Choi Hyun-seok smiled as he looked at his status window.

“8 levels so far today?”

The bonus point showed 8.

In other words, it means that his level has risen 8 times.

He had gained 1 level from the two last hits on the Talas earlier.

So the result of this hunt was 7 levels.

“My Mana and Charisma also increased.”

Even though he didn’t put points into it, his Mana and Charisma increased by one point each.

He was very satisfied with the results.

“Okay. I’ll use it before it’s too late.”

Choi Hyun-seok distributed the 8 bonus points evenly.

‘Now my mana and other stats are balanced.’

Choi Hyun-seok has been steadily increasing his mana.

He didn’t know the exact use of mana yet, but it was an investment for the future.

‘Rachel will be able to use more magic as my mana increases. This alone is a great benefit right now.’

After distributing everything, he checked his stats.

Level: 108
Strength: 56
Agility: 53
Stamina: 55
Mana: 53
Charisma: 27

“Good.”

Choi Hyun-seok nodded with a satisfied look.

Rachel landed on his shoulder.

“Hero. Are you okay?”

“Of course. It wasn’t anything special?”

“Isn’t your fist bleeding?”

“Huh?”

“

Choi Hyun-seok looked at his hand.

“Huh!? What’s this!?”

His fist that had crushed the Talas’ head was half smashed.

There were white bones sticking out and blood was dripping down.

He realized that he had pulled out the Talas’ guts in this condition.

“Ah…! It hurts like hell…”

It wasn’t until he saw the wound that the pain began to come.

“Can’t you do something about this?”

“Wait a minute. I’ll use a healing spell.”

“Oh! That’s possible?”

“This is a basic thing! However, you don’t have much mana left, so I’ll just give you first aid.”

A bright light emanated from Rachel’s hand.

Choi Hyun-seok’s twisted bones realigned and the wound began to heal little by little.

“Is it done?”

“Yes. You’re fine now, aren’t you?”

At a glance, it looked as if he was never injured.

But his hand was still throbbing.

“It still hurts like hell.”

“As long as it looks fine. Here.”

Rachel kicked Choi Hyun-seok’s hand.

“Ahhh!”

“Seeing how you can still feel, I’m pretty sure you’re fine.”

“Isn’t it too painful!? Really!”

Choi Hyun-seok rolled around on the ground and scowled.

Rachel responded with a mischievous smile.

At that moment.

“Ah, Choi Hyun-seok! You’re alive!”

A familiar voice came from inside the cave.

Choi Hyun-seok looked up in surprise.

“Sir Kulkan…?”

The head cook Kulkan.

He had entered the cave.

* * *

Meanwhile, at the same time.

“Reidrun. You’re here?”

Captain Hemi was in her office looking at commander Reidrun.

“It’s my great pleasure to see you, captain.”

“Oho! You don’t have to be so polite. Reidrun is the same as always.”

Hemi, who was in a good mood, smiled.

She was very happy to see Reidrun after a long time.

“So Reidrun, how was the mission I assigned?”

“We’ve succeeded in capturing the next Saintess you mentioned.”

“As expected! I knew Reidrun could do it.”

Not long ago, they had received an intelligence report that the next Saintess of the Holy Empire would pass through the 3rd Legion’s district in the future.

[Reidrun. Did you hear?]

Hami, who saw this as an opportunity, had immediately assigned Reidrun to the task.

[I heard the next slut of the Holy Empire will fearlessly go through my district.]

[What do you want to do?]

[She’s going to be useful, so take her alive. If not, you can kill her.]

[Got it.]

It’s been about three weeks since Reidrun left.

Reidrun succeeded in capturing the next Saintess of the Holy Empire.

“You did a great job. There are a lot of crazy fanatics around her, so it wouldn’t have been easy.”

“It wasn’t a big deal.”

Of course, it wasn’t easy.

Near the next Saintess were numerous high priests and knights.

There were also some idiots who called themselves heroes.

However, they weren’t Reidrun’s opponents.

Reidrun managed to kill them all after they persisted for a few days.

“They all exploded into pieces.”

“Oho. You did well. I have no friend as reliable as Reidrun!”

“I’m flattered…”

“You can go now. You must be tired.”

“Yes.”

When Reidrun was leaving with his head down.

Knock, knock, knock.

Someone knocked on the door of the office.

“Come in.”

The soldier who hurriedly came through the door gasped for breath.

“Urgent news, captain.”

“What is it?”

“An accident happened while the cooks were looking for ingredients.”

“

“What…?”

Hemi huge lips creased at the word accident.

“That happens every day, doesn’t it?”

Cooks die every day anyway.

Hemi receives daily reports of the damage, so there was no reason to come and report about such a thing.

“Well…this time, the damage is a little high. There aren’t many cooks back alive.”

“Huh? What happened?”

“A swarm of Talas have settled in the forest.”

“Oh…Talas…”

Hemi became lost in thought at the word Talas.

‘Talas are delicious. Especially the dish with the queen’s guts! Or the fresh eggs…’

Hemi, who was distracted for a while, shook her head.

“Ahem! A swarm of Talas. They’re pretty dangerous. But isn’t the head cook Kulkan?”

“That’s right.”

“He wouldn’t have a problem with the Talas.”

“They said a queen appeared out of nowhere. Currently, most of the cooks, including the head cook, Kulkan, are either dead or missing.”

“Hmm~”

Hemi patted her chin as if he were agonizing over something.

“What happened to Choi Hyun-seok?”

“Also missing.”

“Really?”

Then Reidrun, who was listening to the conversation, intervened.

“Choi Hyun-seok is with the cooks?”

“Oh, you didn’t know Reidrun? Choi Hyun-seok is hunting with the cooks.”

At Hemi’s words, Reidrun’s face hardened.

“I’ve been enjoying watching Choi Hyun-seok lately, so I’m sad. If he had run into her, he would have died.”

“Captain. Would it be okay if I go?

“Oh! Really?”

Hemi rejoiced when she heard Reidrun was coming forward.

She had to send someone to sort out the Talas anyway.

However, the Talas are so numerous and their individual strengths made them difficult to manage.

Especially in the case of the queen, even a strong commander would be hard pressed to win against.

“We should send as least one commander. I’d appreciate it if Reidrun would go.”

“I’ll leave immediately.”

“Yeah, yeah. But Reidrun. Don’t expect too much. Choi Hyun-seok must have already died.”

“Yes.”

Reidrun nodded silently and immediately left the office.

Hemi’ lips suddenly twisted while watching him.

“Huh…why do I hate it?”
