Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad-Chapter 46

Choi Hyun-seok headed towards Doras’ unit. There, he was scheduled to meet Doras and move together into the forest. Shortly after, Choi Hyun-seok arrived in front of Doras’ unit and was a bit surprised.

“Hmm… Could it be that they’ve all come out?”

Hundreds of soldiers were standing in disarray on the battalion training ground.

“That’s too much, isn’t it…”

Of course, he didn’t think Doras would go hunting alone. At least he thought a few aides, or even dozens, would move together. However, the problem was that Doras was trying to move the entire battalion force, beyond Choi Hyun-seok’s expectations.

“Choi Hyun-seok. You’ve come.”

Doras, who had spotted Choi Hyun-seok, greeted him.

“Yes, Doras. Did you sleep well last night?”

“Of course! Haha! Let’s get going now.”

Doras seemed excited about the rare outing. That’s because Doras was sitting on a large palanquin carried by 10 soldiers.

“Whatever… He could just walk.”

The soldiers carrying the heavy palanquin from below seemed to be struggling.

“Yes, we’ll depart right away.”

After some hesitation, Choi Hyun-seok decided to go on the hunt as planned. The plan had already started. He couldn’t cancel it now just because the number of soldiers had increased.

‘It doesn’t matter. Ordinary soldiers won’t be a big threat anyway.’

The most important thing was the battle with Doras, the monster, Bobo, and Usaru. The increase in the number of soldiers didn’t seem to jeopardize the plan.

As they moved towards the forest, the soldiers were making quite a commotion. With a battalion force of 500 soldiers and 200 kitchen soldiers, it was inevitable.

Choi Hyun-seok glanced sidelong at the kitchen soldiers, worrying that Doras might notice something strange if they kept talking.

“Choi Hyun-seok. How much farther do we have to go?”

Doras, who was still sitting on the palanquin, asked.

“Ah, we’ve just entered the territory of the Marbling. It won’t be long before the creature shows itself.”

“Good. I hope it shows up quickly, it’s so hot.”

Doras, who was comfortably riding the palanquin, was sweating the most, even though the day was rather cool.

‘Phew, just looking at him, he really looks like a cooked pig.’

Outwardly, he seemed unable to control his own body, but Choi Hyun-seok knew that when the battle started, this morbidly obese pig would transform into the most threatening wild boar.

‘Focus now. The timing is crucial. I can’t make any mistakes.’

He had to strike the decisive blow in a single move. The battle must not be prolonged, as there was a high probability that the battalion soldiers would join in.

‘Before Doras’ soldiers can grasp the situation, I have to take down Doras and seize control of the situation.’

As Choi Hyun-seok continued to repeat the plan in his mind, they had gone deep into the forest.

Boom… Boom…

The sound he had been waiting for began to be heard. The shaking earth, only something as massive as the black dragon-like monster Nidlark could cause.

Choi Hyun-seok swallowed his saliva.

“That’s the one.”

“Hmm. Let’s start moving then.”

Doras stretched and got down from the carriage.

Boom!

Doras, being a sizable figure himself, raised a cloud of dust just by stepping onto the ground.

At the same time, Nidlark appeared, knocking down the trees in the forest.

“Aaaaargh!”

Nidlark’s roar made Doras frown.

“Is that the Marbling monster?”

“Yes, that’s right!”

“Hmm, I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before…”

Doras seemed to be deep in thought, possibly having encountered Nidlark somewhere in the past.

Choi Hyun-seok quickly moved in before Doras could figure it out.

“All monster creatures look pretty similar, don’t they? Haha!”

Fortunately, Doras easily accepted the explanation.

“Judging by its magical power, it won’t be an easy one.”

It seemed that a person of Doras’ level could sense the approximate Combat Power of a monster just by detecting its magical power.

“My battalion soldiers and I will handle the fight. You make sure no other monsters interfere.”

“Of course! Leave it to me!”

“And make sure to report properly to the Commander…”

Doras said in a subtle tone, implying that Choi Hyun-seok should emphasize that the hunt was carried out solely by Doras and his battalion.

Choi Hyun-seok smiled wryly.

“Of course, I’ll make sure to report it clearly to the Commander.”

“That’s why I like how quickly you understand! Haha!”

Doras laughed heartily and confidently stepped forward, with the 500-strong battalion force following behind him.

***

Even in the forest of monsters, there was a kind of ecosystem.

The food chain in the pyramid of monsters was like the natural order, where the stronger monsters would prey on the weaker ones. However, this principle is not always upheld.

At the top of the pyramid, the beings in the highest tiers of the food chain do not fight each other. There was no need to, as they had plenty of weaker prey to easily consume without risking any danger. That’s how the territories were created – an unspoken rule made by the strong to enjoy a comfortable life.

But now, that established rule was being shaken.

Loud noises could be heard in the distance. It was a sizable battle.

The monsters perked up their ears. Normally, they wouldn’t care about what was happening outside their own territories, but now it was different.

“Grrrr…”

Their stress levels were at an all-time high. There was one insane unit of the Demon King’s Army that had been rampaging through the entire forest recently. Because of them, the monsters’ territories were becoming entangled and distorted. As a result, the monsters who had avoided confronting each other were now facing off more frequently, leading to intense battles that were unprecedented.

The monsters had to make a choice – would they let the growing commotion in the forest continue, or would they try to suppress it?

“Graaaah!”

The decision didn’t take long. If they didn’t know when a knife would be plunged into their back, they might as well be the first to strike the enemy’s back.

Thud! Boom!

The powerful monsters of the forest began to move, lifting their heavy haunches.

***

Whenever Doras and Nidlark clashed, thunderous booms rang out. The ground was being torn apart, and rocks were shattering. The trees had already fallen and been blown away, leaving the forest in a state of chaos.

“Master… When will you start?”

Rachel, who was in Choi Hyun-seok’s arms, asked.

“Wait, the time hasn’t come yet.”

The battle was still raging. Doras and Nidlark seemed to be getting tired, but they didn’t appear completely exhausted yet.

“Graaah!”

Nidlark swung its front paw. The soldiers blocking its path were sent flying like toy soldiers.

“Aaaaargh!”

Leaving the soldiers’ screams behind, Doras charged in.

Boom!

A raging body slam. Nidlark’s scales rippled, and its massive body slightly lifted off the ground. Considering the difference in size, it should have been impossible, but Doras’ magical power and strength made it possible.

“Aaaaargh!”

Nidlark let out a pained groan.

‘This is bad. Doras is overwhelming it more than expected.’

So far, Doras had barely taken any direct hits, as most of the attacks had been absorbed by his battalion soldiers. But now, Nidlark was alone, facing the concentrated attacks of Doras and his troops, so the damage was accumulating rapidly.

“Master! At this rate, that pig will kill the poor monster!”

“Ugh…”

Choi Hyun-seok’s expression darkened quickly. He turned his head to check his surroundings.

“Huff, huff!”

Bobo, waiting for his orders behind him.

“Usaru!”

Usaru, who seemed to be enjoying the battle and eager to join in.

It was time to make a decision.

‘Well, whatever happens, happens!’

If he couldn’t kill Doras here, Choi Hyun-seok himself would be the one to die. If he was going to die anyway, he might as well make a desperate attempt.

“When I give the signal, attack Doras.”

Just as Choi Hyun-seok was about to step forward…

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Suddenly, the ground began to shake.

“What, what is that?!”

Soon, a massive worm-like monster burst through the ground.

“That’s Sirpav!”

Rachel shouted, recognizing the monster at a glance.

“Why is that suddenly appearing?!”

Choi Hyun-seok yelled.

It was a situation he couldn’t comprehend at all. But it was still too early to be surprised.

“Eeeeek!”

Gigantic birds covered the sky.

“Those are Indringhimel!”

Indringhimel, meaning ‘sky invaders’, acted in groups. Like Nidlark, they also occupied a territory in this forest.

“Huh? What’s suddenly happening…”

The appearing demons were not the end.

Even after the Indringhimel, the monsters that were said to be doing their own thing in the forest began to reveal themselves one by one.

This was content that was not at all planned.

“Choi, Choi Hyun-seok! What is this?!”

Doras was also perplexed by the situation he could not understand.

The attack of Nidlark, who did not miss the opportunity to move, hit the mark.

“Ugh!”

Doras, hit by the huge paw, flew and was embedded in the rock.

“Aaaargh! Monsters! Monsters have appeared!”

“Run away! We’ll run away! We’ll run away!”

The sudden large-scale attack of monsters.

The confused soldiers scattered in all directions.

“Eeeeek!”

“Graaaaah!”

The monsters did not just attack the soldiers.

They also attacked each other, biting and tearing each other.

The forest quickly turned into a cauldron of confusion.

Everyone could not come to their senses and only struggled to survive.

“Ugh… It won’t work. We need to retreat first…”

In the midst of this, the composed Choi Hyun-seok appeared.

Doras was suddenly furious.

“Choi Hyun-seok! What are you going to do about this situation! Everyone is about to die!”

“No, this isn’t right. Let’s retreat first. I’ll talk about it after we return to the troops.”

Choi Hyun-seok calmly regulated his breathing.

“What are you doing?! You too, hurry and run away! Forget about the meat, we’re about to die!”

Doras glared at him with wide eyes.

Choi Hyun-seok silently gazed at the furious Doras.

“Reidrun-style Fighting Technique. Form 1.”

“Huh? What are you talking about now…”

Choi Hyun-seok continued to gaze at Doras with cold eyes.

“Crushing Fist.”

With a low murmur, his fist shot out and struck Doras’ thick abdomen.

“Ugh, you… You, you bastard!”

Doras’ face turned red and blue.

At the same time, tremendous force exploded from Choi Hyun-seok’s fist.

BANG!

Doras’ massive body flew through the air once more.

Choi Hyun-seok shouted with half-turned eyes.

“There is no retreat! Tonight’s dinner is stir-fried pork! Only those who survive have the right to enjoy the party!”

His resounding voice covered the confused forest.

“If you understand, get crushed!!!”
