Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad Chapter 54

Chapter 54

Choi Hyun-seok’s face contorted.

His whole body felt like it was being crushed by excruciating pain.

“Ughh…”

“Hero, are you alright?”

“I’m barely alive…”

“I’ll heal you right now!”

While receiving Rachel’s healing, Hyun-seok thought to himself.

‘To be in this state just from blocking one attack… This is ridiculous.’

Strictly speaking, he hadn’t even blocked it.

Attack had collided with attack.

On the surface, Hyun-seok appeared victorious.

After all, his opponent’s head had been slammed into the ground from his kick.

However, the enemy got right back up after falling.

Meanwhile, Hyun-seok who had delivered the attack felt like every bone and muscle in his body was screaming in agony.

‘I expected him to be strong, but this is a completely different level.’

A human who was perfectly fine even after taking a direct hit to the head.

He questioned whether such a being could even be called human.

“Argghhh!”

“Kieeek!”

Before they knew it, the surroundings were filled with screams and blood.

All of it belonged to the Demon King’s Army soldiers.

*Crunch!*

The three intruders were rampaging like wolves among sheep.

Countless soldiers were being slaughtered.

‘This situation isn’t good.’

Hyun-seok’s eyes sank.

Though fortunately Abelson had managed to dodge backward, the overall situation was becoming increasingly difficult.

“Roiger! I’ve come to help!”

Soon, Regiment Commander and Battalion Commanders from other units all joined in, and for a moment it seemed like they were pushing back the enemy, but.

The battle returned to a deadlock once again.

No, if anything, the Demon King’s Army was gradually being pushed back.

Even with virtually all the high-ranking executives stationed at the Black Giant Star gathered, they couldn’t suppress the enemy.

The intruders continued killing soldiers while gradually getting closer to Abelson.

‘The conditions are too disadvantageous.’

Hyun-seok thinks.

This was a fight they could never win from the start.

If the enemy randomly swings an attack toward Abelson, our side has to throw their bodies to block it.

Those who have something to protect are inevitably forced to fight an overwhelmingly disadvantageous battle against those who have nothing to lose.

‘We need to escape with Ms. Abelson.’

As long as Abelson was here, they had no choice but to fight at a disadvantage.

To resolve this, Abelson needed to leave this place.

Just as Hyun-seok was having such thoughts.

“Human! Take the Saint and go! We’ll hold them here!”

As if having the same thought, Regiment Commander Roiger shouted.

Hyun-seok moved immediately without hesitation.

“Bobo! Let’s go! We need to escape with Ms. Abelson!”

Hyun-seok placed Abelson on Bobo’s back and escaped from the chaotic battlefield.

***

“Bobo! Run at full speed!”

“Kwang!”

Bobo sprints through the Black Giant Star.

No one knew where they should go.

They were just running to get away from the enemy.

“Ms. Abelson, are you alright?”

“Yes…”

Although Abelson had minor injuries, she didn’t appear to be seriously hurt.

Suddenly, Hyun-seok became curious.

“Ms. Abelson, why are they trying to kill you?”

Why would humans try to kill the next Saint, who could be considered their ally?

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand.

After contemplating briefly, Abelson spoke.

“…It’s probably because I didn’t follow their orders.”

“Didn’t follow their orders?”

“Yes. They don’t need a real Saint. They only want a puppet Saint who will follow their commands.”

It was difficult to understand.

Who were they, and what did she mean by puppet Saint?

“Are you saying you’re not the real Saint?”

“No. I can truly hear the voice of God.”

“Then why…?”

“As I just said, they need a puppet, not a real Saint. They abandoned God long ago.”

As Abelson was explaining.

Strong magical power was felt from behind.

“Duck!”

Hyun-seok pressed down hard on Abelson’s head.

*Ping- Kwaaang!*

The magic that grazed above their heads exploded as it hit a building.

Hyun-seok turned his head to check behind them.

‘They’ve caught up already!?’

In the distance, an enemy was closing the gap at an incredible speed.

Although there was only one.

That alone would be enough to kill Hyun-seok and the Saint.

‘They’re too fast…!’

At this rate, they’ll be caught up to soon.

Hyun-seok quickly made his decision.

“I’ll fight here.”

“What?”

“While Bobo and I hold them off, Ms. Abelson, you escape.”

“That’s not possible. Their goal is to kill me anyway.”

Abelson shook her head.

She continued with a sorrowful expression.

“Leave me here and go. Then you’ll be able to live, Mr. Hyun-seok.”

“Leave you here and save only myself?”

“Yes. That would be the better judgment for the world too.”

“No. If you die, won’t I die anyway?”

“That’s…”

Only Abelson can stabilize Hyun-seok’s currently unstable body.

If she dies, how long could Hyun-seok last on his own?

Though uncertain, it probably wouldn’t be very long.

So now they had to save Abelson by any means necessary.

That was the way for everyone to live.

“And also…”

Hyun-seok continued with an utterly serious expression.

“It’s every man’s duty to protect a beautiful woman!”

“…”

“The world would surely want a beauty like Ms. Abelson to survive.”

Abelson didn’t know how to respond.

Hyun-seok smiled slightly.

“In exchange, if we both survive, let’s continue that date we couldn’t finish.”

“This isn’t the time for such jokes…!”

“Bobo, stop!”

Ignoring Abelson, Hyun-seok patted Bobo’s back.

Bobo came to a stop, and Hyun-seok got down to the ground.

“Bobo. We have to fight that gloomy person from earlier. Can you do it?”

“Kwang!”

Bobo barked as if saying not to worry.

“You rascal! You’re all I’ve got.”

Just as Hyun-seok was repeatedly patting Bobo’s head.

Suddenly Bobo’s fur stood on end.

“Huh? Bobo…?”

“Grrrr…!”

A deep and dark growl never heard before.

“Kwaaaah!”

In that instant, Bobo roared and charged forward.

Soon, along with the noise of battle, an tremendous wind arose.

Hyun-seok raised his arm to block the incoming wind.

‘We have no choice but to try somehow.’

He had to move while Bobo bought them time.

Hyun-seok steeled his resolve.

‘I’ll use Plomot.’

Plomot, the Flower of Death.

A demon-exclusive technique that enables momentary bursts of intense power.

He had nearly died trying to learn it after seeing Doras use it.

‘It’s registered as an official skill. I should definitely be able to use it.’

After that near-death experience.

Plomot appeared in the skills section of Hyun-seok’s status window.

This meant that Hyun-seok could use Plomot.

□ Plomot

  • Proficiency: 2%

‘Though the proficiency is low… This isn’t the time to be picky.’

Hyun-seok brought his hands together and concentrated.

The magical power and demonic energy in Hyun-seok’s body began to mix and vibrate.

“Mr. Hyun-seok! You can’t move the demonic energy right now!”

Abelson, sensing something wrong, shouted.

Without looking back, Hyun-seok said.

“We’ll all die at this rate anyway.”

“But…!”

“If I collapse, please take care of the aftermath.”

Hyun-seok concentrated even harder.

‘I can do this. I must do this.’

The demonic energy spread to every corner, activating his body to its limits.

Plomot Stage 1 – Blooming.

Hyun-seok’s skin turned bright red.

His heartbeat quickened, and his eyes became bloodshot.

Though he had fully entered Stage 1, Hyun-seok didn’t stop.

‘This isn’t enough.’

Although they had only clashed once, Hyun-seok could clearly feel the gap between himself and the enemy.

Just Stage 1 of Plomot.

This level of power wouldn’t be enough to defeat him.

Plomot Stage 2 – Full Bloom.

Hyun-seok’s body turned completely red, and hot steam began rising from it.

*Thump! Bang! Thump! Bang!*

His heart was beating like it would burst.

It felt like it was screaming for him to stop this madness.

Hyun-seok had never even managed to activate Stage 1 of Plomot before.

Even that had essentially been a failure.

Though he knew in theory how to progress to Stages 2 and 3, this was his first time attempting it.

‘Never proceed to Stage 2 before Stage 1 is fully mastered. You could lose your life if you’re not careful.’

The image of Reidrun emphasizing this while explaining Plomot flashed through his mind.

‘I’m sorry, Sir Reidrun. I’ll push myself just this once.’

Hyun-seok continued the technique without stopping.

In this moment, he was exhibiting concentration beyond his limits.

‘Don’t think about anything… Just focus on controlling the magical power and demonic energy.’

His reddened body began turning black and dying.

Like fallen flower petals.

It looked as if all life had been burned away.

Plomot Stage 3 – Falling Flowers

Finally, Hyun-seok’s skin was dyed in complete darkness and.

He opened his eyes.

“Haaah…”

With a light breath, he struck the ground.

That simple action caused the ground to crack, unable to withstand the impact.

*Crack, Kwaaang!*

With an explosion, Hyun-seok’s body shot out like a bullet.

***

Lucas was one of the Holy Empire’s hounds deployed for this operation.

Originally of noble birth, he was a man who had abandoned his worldly family for true faith.

While chasing Hyun-seok and Abelson, he smiled.

‘As expected, His Holiness was right.’

The rumors about the next Holy Maiden Abelson Mariette being a traitor were true.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for the Demon King’s Army to protect her so desperately.

‘Only death awaits traitors.’

Lucas ran at full speed after breaking through the encirclement.

With his other companions tied down, he was the only one who could deal with Abelson now.

‘Fortunately, I have enough holy power.’

Though there had been several battles, he still had about half his holy power remaining.

Of course, he wasn’t in optimal condition.

He had sustained quite a few injuries during the battles.

But it wasn’t a problem.

The ones who fled were the traitor Hero and Saint.

He could handle those two without much difficulty.

‘That bastard. To think a Hero would side with the Demon King’s Army…!’

Lucas recalled the man he had just clashed with, Choi Hyun-seok.

An arrogant traitor who had struck his head despite possessing worthless skills.

His body heated up at the thought of dealing with both traitors at once.

His Holiness would surely be pleased and commend him.

“Have you given up on running?”

Finally, Lucas was able to catch up to the fugitives.

“Kwaaaah!”

Suddenly, a demonic beast charged at him.

It possessed quite strong demonic energy.

‘Though it’s a devil’s creation, salvation is open to all.’

Lucas’s eyes gleamed.

‘I shall grant you salvation.’

His already blood-stained sword flashed.

*Slash!*

Spider web-like wounds appeared on the demonic beast Bobo’s body as new blood sprayed onto the sword.

“Kwaah!”

Bobo screamed.

‘It’s tough. This one has sturdy hide.’

He had intended to take its life in one strike, but it seemed it would take some time.

Lucas turned his eyes to watch Hyun-seok and Abelson.

Things would become troublesome if they escaped while he was dealing with the demonic beast.

‘Seems they don’t plan to run.’

Fortunately, they remained standing in place without moving.

Then Lucas’s brow furrowed.

‘Could that be…?’

Something was strange about Hyun-seok’s condition.

Demonic energy was flowing from the body of the who should be a Hero, and his skin color was changing.

Lucas knew well what this phenomenon was.

‘Plomot.’

A demon-exclusive technique.

Something that grants explosive power momentarily by burning life force.

Having fought countless demons, Lucas knew well its dangers.

‘I must stop it.’

Though he didn’t know why a human was using this technique, it couldn’t be left alone.

Lucas, who had been about to move forward, suddenly stopped.

‘No, it’s already too late.’

Hyun-seok’s flesh had completely turned black.

‘Black flesh is proof that Plomot has been operated to Stage 3.’

He couldn’t help but be surprised.

Stage 3 Plomot was a high-level technique that even most high-ranking demons couldn’t use.

Even if they succeeded, their life couldn’t be guaranteed afterward.

That’s how dangerous and difficult Plomot was.

Yet someone of such a low level, and a human at that, had achieved it.

It was an unbelievable sight even as he watched it with his own eyes.

‘I’ll need to prepare for the attack.’

Lucas watched Hyun-seok as calmly as possible.

Since stopping Plomot was no longer possible, all he could do was be as careful as possible while blocking the attack.

However, the movement was too fast to block.

*Crack, Kwaaang!*

‘He disappeared…!?’

As the ground split with an explosion, Hyun-seok’s figure vanished instantaneously.

Lucas reflexively raised his sword.

*Clang!*

The sword that received the attack shook as if it would break.

Lucas stared at Hyun-seok’ with sharp eyes.

‘Thinking calmly. Killing him now would be impossible.’

It wouldn’t be easy even if Lucas was in his normal state.

But now Lucas was completely exhausted.

Hyun-seok, operating Plomot at its limits, was definitely an overwhelming opponent.

‘However, there is a way.’

Lucas laughed inwardly.

‘The duration of Plomot isn’t very long.’

Lucas had already fought demons using Plomot several times before.

The duration of Plomot varies greatly depending on proficiency.

It ranges from as short as tens of seconds to as long as 10 minutes.

‘This guy is operating Plomot at its limits. The duration would be around 3 minutes at most.’

Judging from Hyun-seok’s condition, the time he could maintain Plomot wouldn’t be long.

It might not even last a full minute.

Enduring that much time wouldn’t be difficult.

‘And when Plomot ends…’

The moment his Plomot operation ends, this battle would be over.

Hyun-seok would have to pay the price for pushing his body to its limits.

‘He’ll die on his own if left alone. I’ll focus on defense as much as possible.’

A Hero who sided with demons dying from using a demon-exclusive technique.

It was truly a fitting end for a traitor.

‘Kukuk… Just wait a little longer!’

Lucas had not a shred of doubt about his victory.
