Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad-Chapter 250

“Currently, the heroes and the 1st Magic Battalion have arrived near the destination. There’s no engagement yet, and they say the operation will begin as planned in 5 minutes.”

“Understood. Report immediately if any unusual situations occur.”

“Yes.”

Orlaben Grimier stroked his elegant mustache.

His sharply slanted eyes emitted a cold gleam.

‘The Gatren folks are being quite cautious.’

Gatren already knows about the attack that will happen today.

Yet they’re not showing any movement.

This means only one thing.

They’re trying to draw in Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-a as deeply as possible to deal with them decisively.

‘Not a bad situation for us.’

While it’s the worst for the two acting as bait, it’s not bad for the Drason Empire.

The enemy’s cautious movement was proof that they believed our words that much.

‘Gatren will think we’ve betrayed Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-a. They might still have doubts, but once the operation begins soon, even those small doubts will completely disappear.’

Gatren must have many concerns.

Is it true that they’re really handing over Choi Hyun-seok and Park Hyun-a?

Is it just a ploy to buy time?

Could it be a false operation?

Or what if what they thought was bait is actually an all-out attack?

They must have prepared for every situation, keeping countless possibilities open.

It’s natural to doubt and doubt again.

However, if Park Hyun-a and Choi Hyun-seok really fall into the trap?

From that moment, there’s no need to doubt.

‘At that moment, they’ll commit all their forces to capturing those two.’

High priests, nobles, and even the Pope.

All of Gatren’s attention will be focused on the capital.

That’s exactly when we need to move.

Drason also prepared desperately to make this operation succeed.

7 Magic Battalions.

5 Elite Knight Orders.

Two Legends.

The forces committed to this operation alone amount to half of the Empire’s strength.

‘Break the magic formation sleeping under their Great Temple to prevent that crazy magic called the Empire’s Sacrifice.’

Their objective is to destroy the magic formation hidden beneath the Deusis faith’s Great Temple.

They prepared 8 secret spatial transfer gates for this.

The operation ends when they enter through these gates connected to 8 locations in the Great Temple, destroy the magic formation, and return.

‘A full-scale war might break out with Gatren afterward, but it can’t be helped. They were the ones who crossed the line first.’

This operation involves human and material resources that could make even the giant empire of Drason stagger.

The reason for going this far is solely to prevent the magic called ‘Empire’s Sacrifice.’

If it weren’t for that, Drason would never have engaged in such a reckless fight.

“Commander! The operation has begun.”

At the aide’s report, Orlaben Grimier rose from his seat.

“All forces. Prepare to enter.”

About 10,000 elites waiting in front of 8 gates.

Looking at them, Orlaben Grimier said.

“Show them why Drason is the best.”

***

The journey until now was very comfortable.

Far from encountering enemies, they didn’t even sense their presence.

Why?

Park Hyun-a thought from Gatren’s perspective.

‘They want to draw us in as far as possible.’

They can’t make hasty moves that might cause us to flee.

So they wait until we come in as deep as possible.

‘But they can’t let us in too deep. The capital could become chaos if they’re not careful.’

Let the enemy in deep, but don’t give up the center.

Because if they’re not careful, the capital could be destroyed in the battle’s aftermath.

The point where they can let us get as close as possible without threatening the capital.

Park Hyun-a instinctively found that position.

“Stop.”

“What’s wrong?”

“We’ll start the operation here. If we go in further, they’ll move.”

Everyone looked dubious, but Park Hyun-a didn’t bother to explain.

There was neither need nor time to explain everything.

“Tell the main force the operation is starting.”

Modified Empire Spear

A massive spear appeared in mid-air.

The spear, essentially a mass of concentrated magical power, was several hundred meters in length.

Park Hyun-a thrust her clenched fist.

“Get them!”

The spear advanced, tearing through the atmosphere.

SHWAAAAK-!

“Wh-what is that!?”

“It’s coming this way! We need to run…”

“Too late!”

The enemies blocking the front were helplessly swept up in the windstorm.

Even without being directly hit by the magic, just being caught in its aftermath was enough to tear skin and send bodies flying.

“Aaaagh!”

“Get it together! Deploy the barriers!”

Choi Hyun-seok rushed past the enemies who couldn’t regain their senses, quickly advancing toward Gratiam.

A fierce smile hung on his face as he ran.

‘Bait…’

While the operation’s surface objective was assassinating the Pope, no one expected it to succeed.

Just keeping the enemy’s attention for as long as possible.

It’s natural since even this bait role was the worst mission with low success probability.

However, Choi Hyun-seok wasn’t content with just being bait.

‘I’ll take the Pope’s head! And return alive with dignity!’

He had no intention of being pathetically defeated at the very end.

He hadn’t overcome all those trials just to act as mere bait.

He would succeed somehow.

He would succeed and return alive.

At that moment of determination.

The capital Gratiam’s defense system activated, surrounding it with a barrier.

WOONG-!

A massive barrier enveloped the entire city.

The holy power was so tremendous even Choi Hyun-seok had to marvel at it.

Breaking through that barrier alone would consume enormous magical power and time.

However, before Choi Hyun-seok was the massive spear of concentrated magical power.

KUGUGUGUGU-!

Vibrations arose as the Empire Spear collided with the barrier.

In terms of pure magical power, the barrier protecting the entire city was overwhelmingly superior.

However, the Empire Spear’s purpose wasn’t to destroy the entire barrier.

KWADUK, KWADUK…!

A small hole.

It was enough to make just a small hole in the massive barrier large enough for a person to pass through.

Park Hyun-a had personally modified the magic for this purpose.

And the magic succeeded beautifully.

CHAENG-!

As it made a small hole in the barrier, the spear disappeared.

Even that small hole would be sealed in a few seconds.

Choi Hyun-seok jumped through the hole without hesitation.

‘I’m in!’

After entering the barrier, he crossed the city walls without stopping.

He could see the panicked faces of enemies waiting inside.

“The barrier’s been breached!”

“How!?”

“Stop him! Don’t let him enter the city!”

Though they had been waiting just in case, the enemies who hadn’t really expected the barrier to be breached were bewildered.

‘These are small fry. I’ll ignore them and pass!’

Choi Hyun-seok ignored the panicking enemies and passed by.

‘The target is the temple in the city center. The Pope!’

The destination is the Grand Temple where the Pope was.

The magnificent building visible in the distance was certainly the Grand Temple.

Without interference, he could arrive within 3 minutes.

That’s when someone blocked Choi Hyun-seok’s path.

“That’s far enough!”

One of the continent’s greatest legends, Kinley Fusel.

She swung her massive hammer without warning.

The force was not insignificant, forcing even Choi Hyun-seok to step back.

HWOOONG-!

Strong air pressure shot out along the hammer’s trajectory.

Choi Hyun-seok immediately descended into the city center.

Rather than wasting time-fighting, it was more important to reach the Pope in the Grand Temple as quickly as possible.

‘If there are people around, that woman won’t be able to rampage freely.’

Movement would be restricted in the city center, which would make it easier to shake off pursuit.

“Where do you think you’re running!”

Along with the shouting voice, strong magical power was felt from behind.

Choi Hyun-seok was startled.

‘Crazy! Using fighting technique in the middle of the city!?’

It wasn’t simply magic infused into the hammer.

It was clearly a magical power meant for using fighting techniques.

If the hammer fell like this, the area would be destroyed.

Civilians would get caught up in it.

However, Choi Hyun-seok realized his worry was unnecessary.

‘The city is empty…?’

No human presence could be felt around.

The capital Gratiam was already completely empty.

The enemy had anticipated this far and evacuated the city.

‘This works out better.’

Though the plan went slightly awry, it didn’t matter.

When there were no civilians, this side also had freedom of movement.

Choi Hyun-seok activated his mana.

Nobilrace

Form 1 – King’s Walk

His body accelerated, leaving purple afterimages.

The hammer aimed at Choi Hyun-seok grazed the afterimage and struck the ground.

KWAAANG-!

The ground shook, and buildings within several hundred meters began to collapse.

As buildings crumbled, sand and dust scattered everywhere.

“Where are you!?”

Kinley Fusel frantically looked around.

The vision was obscured by the dirt and dust.

For some reason, Choi Hyun-seok’s mana could be felt from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint his location.

“Damn it!”

Kinley Fusel swung her hammer.

She needed to clear away the dust first.

HWOONG-!

The air pressure cleared the view ahead.

Choi Hyun-seok was still nowhere to be seen.

“Did he run away?”

As she wondered.

Nobilrace

Form 4 – Authoritative Death

Choi Hyun-seok’s fist fell from above her head.

It was too late to dodge.

Kinley Fusel surrounded herself with magical power to brace for the impact.

KWADUK! KWAANG-!

Kinley Fusel was driven into the ground at terrifying speed after being hit by the fist.

Even if not fatal, she must have taken damage.

Normally he would have pursued to finish her off, but Choi Hyun-seok didn’t.

‘Another legend is coming.’

He could feel a presence rapidly approaching.

It must be Kinley’s companion.

If he tried to finish off Kinley here, he would get entangled with that one.

Then he would be held up here longer.

The longer he stayed, the more enemies would gather.

Eventually, he would be surrounded with nowhere to go and meet his end.

‘Before that happens, I’m heading to where the Pope is!’

Choi Hyun-seok ran again.

He couldn’t stop even for a moment.

Just a bit further to the Grand Temple.

He planned to end everything by dealing with the Pope.

“You fool! Do you know where this is!”

“Stop him! Don’t let him enter!”

A barrier spread around the Grand Temple, and holy knights rushed out simultaneously.

“Weaklings, move!”

Choi Hyun-seok released mana as he dropped toward the Grand Temple.

Nobilrace

Form 7 – King’s Wrath

The magic protecting the Grand Temple shattered, and the holy knights’ formation collapsed.

Even while sent flying the enemies blocking his path, Choi Hyun-seok quickly invaded the temple.

‘I can feel it.’

Inside the temple.

Massive holy power could be felt from deep within.

It was certainly the Pope’s presence.

He advanced quickly, breaking through enemies emerging from everywhere.

“This is it.”

The place he finally arrived at was an elaborately decorated space.

A place presumed to be a chapel.

Inside, an old man in pure white clothing was waiting.

“Are you the Pope?”

“Indeed. And you must be Choi Hyun-seok.”

“Right. Nice to meet you, now die!”

Quick resolution.

Choi Hyun-seok immediately activated his mana.

‘I don’t know how strong the Pope is. I need to hit him with full power before he can respond.’

Fighting technique he had saved for this moment.

Modified Plomot

Stage 1 – Blooming

The original Plomot that used demonic energy.

He modified it to be usable with mana.

Though he hadn’t perfectly adapted to it yet, now wasn’t the time to be picky.

“Aaaagh!”

Skin turning bright red.

It felt like his whole body was burning in hot fire.

Along with extreme pain, power overflowed from his body.

‘Here I go!’

Choi Hyun-seok kicked the ground.

TWOONG-!

The moment he thought about reaching the Pope.

Choi Hyun-seok was already in front of the Pope.

An incredible speed that even he could barely handle.

Choi Hyun-seok didn’t panic and moved his leg.

‘With this, his head…!’

Just before his leg struck the Pope’s head.

Their eyes met.

‘He’s reacting?’

Due to the extreme speed, even Choi Hyun-seok himself couldn’t properly perceive it.

Yet the Pope was looking directly into his eyes.

“How rude.”

KOONG!

Quietly murmuring lips.

Sharply gleaming eyes.

The moment he thought he perceived this.

Choi Hyun-seok was flying through the Grand Temple’s roof.
