Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad-Chapter 40

Choi Hyun-seok narrowly opened his eyes.

‘Did he go…?’

The mysterious man had fled, and it seemed that Hemis had also left.

It was only then that Choi Hyun-seok, who had risen from his seat, let out a sigh of relief.

“Wow, I thought I was going to die.”

Choi Hyun-seok had not completely fainted.

He was just temporarily unconscious.

He had already regained consciousness by the time Hemis appeared.

Originally, he was going to take the final blow by taking advantage of Oseld’s moment of carelessness.

But seeing Hemis appear, he held back his actions and decided to observe the situation.

Thanks to this, Choi Hyun-seok was able to witness everything that happened.

“That guy who looks like a parasitic animal is also clearly very strong…”

Right now, Choi Hyun-seok doesn’t know anything about Oseld Gefen.

But he can be sure that he is an incredibly strong person.

In Choi Hyun-seok’s opinion, he is at least on par with Reidrun.

It’s hard to make an accurate comparison between Oseld and Reidrun, as they are both too strong.

But it’s certain that Oseld’s abilities are not inferior to Reidrun’s.

“Even that man is like that, but the lip monster is really on another level.”

Hemis toyed with the powerful Oseld as if he were a child.

The reason he was able to escape was not only because of his own great abilities, but also because Hemis did not seem to have the intention to catch him.

‘I absolutely must not mess with her again.’

Choi Hyun-seok reaffirmed that he would not dare to confront Hemis again.

“Ah, Miss. Abelson! Are you okay?”

Choi Hyun-seok examined the still unconscious Abelson.

Unlike Choi Hyun-seok, who was just pretending to be fainted, Abelson was truly unconscious and still could not open her eyes.

Fortunately, her pulse was normal.

“I should first lay her down on the bed.”

Just as Choi Hyun-seok was carefully lifting Abelson to lay her on the bed…

“Hero. It’s now…!”

Rachel whispered in Choi Hyun-seok’s ear, appearing without a sound.

“Ah! You startled me! Where were you and why are you showing up now!?”

“What? It was you who told me not to interfere when you need to focus, right?”

“Oh…”

“And you said not to show up when that monster Hemis is around. That’s why I was just observing the situation.”

In fact, there was no particular problem even if Rachel was discovered by Hemis.

She already knew that Choi Hyun-seok was a hero.

Still, it felt a bit awkward to show Rachel in front of Hemis.

“It feels like I’m openly advertising that I’m a hero.”

“It’s okay. I don’t want to appear in front of that monster either.”

Rachel shuddered at the mere thought of it.

The room was filled with corpses and blood, not to mention the meat that Choi Hyun-seok had brought, all of which had disappeared into Hemis’ mouth.

“What if she finds me tasty and eats me…?”

“Hmm, she might actually do that.”

It was not something to be dismissed as a joke.

With Hemis, it would not be strange at all if she were to catch and eat Rachel out of curiosity about how she might taste.

“By the way, Rachel. What did you mean by ‘it’s now’?”

“Huh?”

“You said ‘it’s now’ when you appeared just now.”

“Ah, yes! Hero, this is the perfect opportunity, let’s take care of it right away!”

“What?”

Rachel made an ominous expression, like a clichéd villain plotting something.

“Isn’t that silver-haired person too suspicious? What if she’s not a saint, but a witch?”

“You’re still going on about that?”

“Think about it! That man used a holy magic spell at the end, right? So if he’s on our side, why were they fighting?”

“He did seem to know Abelson. He called her a saint.”

“Exactly! But even so, he just grabbed her collar and hit her like that!”

Rachel gestured as if grabbing an invisible collar and striking.

▫Abilities: Pickaxe Usage (C), Leadership (D), Cooking (E), Magic Control (D)

▫Skills: Reidrun-style Fighting Technique

His level had increased by over 100 in just a month.

All his stats except Charisma had surpassed 100.

Even Choi Hyun-seok himself felt that his body had become ridiculously powerful, beyond that of a normal human.

Yet, it was still not enough.

There were too many monsters in this world.

“There’s… Something else I need.”

He had to become stronger as soon as possible.

He wanted to become strong enough to escape the Demon King’s Army and be free.

He wanted to live in a grand mansion, have a romance with a noble golden-haired lady, and raise a rabbit-like child in his retirement.

For that, he had to leave this place as soon as possible.

“Right. I have to take Abelson with me too. I almost forgot.”

“Hero, I told you to give up on that woman. She’s a witch!”

“Keep talking like that and you’ll really get divine retribution, you know.”

Just as Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel were exchanging silly banter,

“Huff! Huff!”

A soldier was approaching them, panting strangely.

Upon closer inspection, it was one of the cooking staff.

“Ch-Chef! I’m able to find you!? I’ve been looking everywhere.”

“What is it?”

Choi Hyun-seok asked with a puzzled expression.

It was unusual for a cooking staff member to be looking for him at this time.

“Th-The commander is looking for the chef. Go quickly!”

“Hmm, so that’s why it’s been quiet lately…”

Choi Hyun-seok wasn’t particularly surprised.

He got up from his seat with an expression that said, ‘So it’s finally time.’

***

The ornate door made of black wood was about 3 meters tall.

Standing in front of the door, Choi Hyun-seok took a deep breath.

“Phew…”

He carefully knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

“Come in.”

A beautiful voice came from inside.

As he entered, Choi Hyun-seok saw Hemis, as usual, sitting with her legs crossed on the desk.

‘Her lips seem even bigger today.’

Thinking this trivial thought, Choi Hyun-seok bowed his head.

“I heard you were looking for me.”

“Have you been bored lately?”

“Huh?”

Choi Hyun-seok blinked his eyes at the unexpected remark.

Far from being bored, he had been feeling like there was never enough time in the day.

“No, you seem to have been quite bored lately.”

Hemis spoke again.

Choi Hyun-seok finally understood the implication of her words.

‘She just wants something to entertain her!’

After the Oseld Gefen incident, there had been no incidents for nearly a month.

It was obvious that the monster was planning to stir up some trouble.

“So, I want to give you something fun to do.”

“Yes…”

“You seem to be performing the role of battalion commander well, so don’t you think it’s time to move on to the stage of division commander?”

Choi Hyun-seok made an expression as if to say, ‘No way… It can’t be.’

Unfortunately, his bad premonitions always turned out to be true.

Hemis’ smiling lips stretched wide.

“I’ll give you a month. Capture the division commander.”

“Huh…?”

A new storm was brewing.
