Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad

“Graaawr!”

Kurken kicked forward as soon as the duel began.

He gave off a fearsome fighting spirit as he ran with a giant iron club in hand.

It was like a batter looking to swing.

‘Huu, let’s go!’

Choi Hyun-seok also ran forward.

His speed was much faster than before because he was using mana.

His opponent was quickly approaching.

Soon, the distance narrowed enough for them to see eye to eye.

Kurken was the first to strike.

“Ora!”

He swung the iron club with all his might.

Choi Hyun-seok twisted his body and narrowly avoided it.

Boom-!

The ground hit by the iron club cracked and there was a noise like a bomb exploding.

Seeing the ground shatter with sand going everywhere, Choi Hyun-seok gulped.

‘He’s gotten stronger too.’

It was clear.

Kurken has grown stronger.

Even before, Kurken could smash rocks like tofu.

Now he has become a monster beyond measure.

‘It’s over if I get hit once.’

The strength and speed of the club far exceeded his expectations.

It was clear that even a graze would be serious.

‘I have to stay calm and avoid getting hit while weakening him.’

Avoiding the club, Choi Hyun-seok struck Kurken in the face with his fist.

Bam!

It was a heavy punch.

The strike was precise.

If it was a normal martial arts match, the opponent would have collapsed instantly.

But his opponent isn’t human.

Kurken didn’t collapse and only stumbled for a moment.

‘This is what I expected anyway. I just have to continue.’

Choi Hyun-seok didn’t panic and continued his attacks.

His fists mercilessly struck Kurken’s face.

Pakpakpak!

“Grawr!”

Kurken continued to stumble backward.

‘I have the momentum.’

He could win.

Choi Hyun-seok intended to keep the momentum till the end.

Kurken won’t last if his head continues to rattle from the impact.

As long as he is a living being, he will eventually fall.

He thought as such.

Until Kurken stared at him with a ferocious look.

‘Danger…!’

An alarm went off in his head.

Kurken was glaring at him while being punched in the face.

The eyes that should have been dazed were too clear.

‘I have to escape!’

Choi Hyun-seok instinctively realized something was wrong.

When he was about to step back.

“Grawr!

Kurken swung his club as if he had been waiting.

‘I can’t avoid this…’

It was too late to dodge it.

Then there is only one choice.

‘I have to block it!’

Choi Hyun-seok raised his arms to guard.
The giant iron club came toward him.

Boom!

He felt a heavy shock as his consciousness wavered.

‘Keuk, I have to get it together…!’

Choi Hyun-seok steadied his consciousness.

He needs to prepare for the next attack.

Choi Hyun-seok rolled on the training ground and then fixed his stance.

His eyes remained on his opponent throughout.

“Heuk, heuk!”

His heart fluctuated violently as he took short breaths.

And then his face unconsciously twisted.

“Haa, it’s fucking unfair.”

Kurken was fed dozens of punches.

In contrast, he was only hit once.

Even though he had guarded, the damage was overwhelming.

He couldn’t even move properly now because the bones in his left arm were broken.

“Graaawr!”

Kurken moved again.

He swung the club with a terrifying spirit.

Boom! Boom!

Every time the club passed by him, there was a loud buzzing noise.

His back broke out into cold sweat.

‘Why is it faster than the first time!?’

Somehow, Kurken has gotten a lot faster.

It was a crazy jump.

“Grawr! Grawr!

Kurken was putting a lot of pressure on Choi Hyun-seok.

The momentum had shifted.

‘Does this muscle pig have unlimited stamina?’

Choi Hyun-seok avoided the attacks as he took another look at Kurken.

“Grawr!”

Both Kurken’s eyes were pitch black before he knew it.

And he was drooling with his mouth open.

It wasn’t normal at all.

He has definitely gone crazy.

Unknown to Choi Hyun-seok, but that is a phenomenon caused by the erosion of magi as it enters the final stage.

‘Huu, it’s okay. I can still do it.’

He has to pull himself together.

“

And find an opportunity amidst the crisis.

‘His movements have become simpler.’

It wasn’t exactly a skillful display of techniques in the first place.

But more than that, it has become extremely simple and easier to avoid.

‘Now!’

Choi Hyun-seok, who was watching for an opportunity while avoiding the attacks, kicked.

“Die!”

Pak!

The kick struck Kurken’s chin.

Kurken’s head turned and he staggered back.

Choi Hyun-seok senses that the opportunity has come.

‘I have to use speculation now.’

He won’t be able to kill Kurken if he keeps fighting like this.

He was certain that a powerful skill was needed to finish the battle.

And now was the time to use the speculation that he had learned from Reidrun.

‘I have to succeed on the first try.’

Reidrun’s speculation is too much for Choi Hyun-seok to handle.

Not to mention the burden it puts on his body, but the mana consumption was huge too.

Also, he can only use speculation at a certain moment because he needs time to prepare.

‘Focus…’

Choi Hyun-seok gently retracted his right arm.

Shuuu…!

A small wind rose as he gathered mana around his arm.

At the same time, Kurken’s eyes lit up as he regained his senses.

“Graaaawr”

He roared and swung his club.

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

On the contrary, he punched at the club that was coming closer.

Reidrun’s Speculation
1st Form – Fight to Kill

The fist and the iron club collided.

Boom!

The iron club containing powerful magi was resilient.

It had endured the speculation attack.

However, Kurken, who wielded the club, didn’t.

“Grawr!?”

Kurken’s wrist bent and the club flew in the air.

At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok had a smile on his face.

‘Goodbye.’

His fist struck Kurken’s chest.

Baang!

Mana violently surged.

And the impact sent Choi Hyun-seok and Kurken flying to opposite sides.

“Keuk!”

Stuck in the stadium’s walls, Choi Hyun-seok coughed up blood.

‘It’s really a killer move.’

Choi Hyun-seok isn’t Reidrun.

Therefore, even if they use the same speculation, the results were completely different.

‘Some people think I’m right.’

The recoil from using speculation made his whole body creaked.

And there wasn’t much mana left in his body.

‘But he’s still dead.’

It’s a skill that puts this kind of burden on the user.

The opponent who gets hit by this will certainly not be intact…However, such a thought was quickly thrown out.

“Graawr!”

There was a shout from the other side.

Before he knew it, when he raised his head, he could see Kurken running.

Choi Hyun-seok had a blank look on his face.

“What the hell…?”

There was a hole the size of a baseball in the middle of Kurken’s chest.

And yet he was alive and well.

At another glance, he could see something like black blood wriggling like a spider web and filling the hole.

‘What the hell did the mouth monster do!?’

It didn’t seem likely that Kurken had such a grotesque and crazy ability.

He thought it was probably Hemi’ doing.

Choi Hyun-seok forced himself to get up with his tattered body.

“Grawr!”

“Don’t you have a conscience!? Let me have my first date, you son of a bitch!”

Choi Hyun-seok ran forward while talking nonsense.

‘Dodge, and use speculation again!’

His body was already in tatters.

If he uses speculation again here his life will be in danger.

However, he didn’t have a choice.

Without speculation, he won’t be able to hurt him.

He had to take the chance even if it’s dangerous.

“Grawr!”

Kurken, who was drooling, charged forward.

Choi Hyun-seok tried to dodge it by looking at his movements.

‘Avoid the club and use speculation one more time.’

However, Choi Hyun-seok’s prediction was wrong again this time.

Kurken didn’t swing the iron club he was holding.

He continued to run straight at Choi Hyun-seok.

Choi Hyun-seok, who was already exhausted, couldn’t avoid the sudden attack.

Boom!

Choi Hyun-seok, who was rammed into, was blown away.

* * *

Hemi was watching the game rather excitingly.

‘He’s certainly a good fighter.’

Early in the match.

Choi Hyun-seok was able to pressure Kurken despite him being physically weaker than Kurken.

He showed tremendous skill, considering that the time he had to prepare was short.

‘Oho? Reidrun’s Speculation?’

Even Hemi was surprised when Choi Hyun-seok used speculation.

‘He learned speculation in such a short time. As expected, he’s not normal.’

She knew that Choi Hyun-seok’s talent wasn’t ordinary.

But she didn’t think it was this outrageous.

In just a few days, he had learned speculation and mana control.

“

It was a heaven defying talent.

‘Well, even so, he won’t be able to win.’

The outcome of the duel was set.

Hemi prepared the duel as cruelly as possible.

Not only did she inject magi into Kurken, but she also placed an undead curse.

And as a result.

“Graaawr!”

Kurken ran wildly with a hole in his chest.

‘Kurken won’t last long in that state, but it doesn’t matter.’

Choi Hyun-seok is already in tatters.

Kurken just needs a little more time and the outcome of the battle will be decided.

It was the moment she thought as such.

Boom!

Eventually, Choi Hyun-seok was rammed into and flew away.

He was stuck in the stadium wall and not moving.

“It’s over.”

Hemi said.

“It seems I’ve won the bet?”

“…”

“I’m going to have to put a stop to it. Since the match has been decided.”

It doesn’t matter if someone dies in a battle for commander, but not this time.

Choi Hyun-seok can’t die easily.

After all, she still needed to see Reidrun kill Choi Hyun-seok.

That was the main event.

“Then, let’s go.”

When Hemi was about to go.

Reidrun, who was next to her, stopped her.

“Captain. I don’t think it’s over yet.”

“What are you talking about? Choi Hyun-seok has already…”

Hemi, who was talking, stopped.

The corners of her mouth crept up.

“Oho~ He’s still conscious?”

Choi Hyun-seok was getting up again.

It shouldn’t be possible.

Every bone in his body must be broken by now, and even breathing should be difficult.

There is only one reason why Choi Hyun-seok can still move.

By controlling his body with mana.

Using mana to move his body instead of his bones and muscles.

“Reidrun. What’s your secret? How did you teach him that in such a short time?”

Hemi was genuinely curious.

Controlling one’s body with mana is a fairly advanced skill.

Choi Hyun-seok only had three days left.

And he couldn’t even use mana before then.

Not only did he learn speculation, but he also learned an advanced skill.

It couldn’t have been possible.

That’s why it became more interesting.

The game was starting to become fun again.

“What’s your secret? How the hell did you teach him?”

Hemi asked again.

But the answer she got from Reidrun wasn’t what she had expected.

“I didn’t.”

“Huh?”

“I never taught him that skill.”

Reidrun taught Choi Hyun-seok himself.

That’s why he was more shocked than anyone else when he saw it.

Because he had never taught such a skill to Choi Hyun-seok.

‘Choi Hyun-seok. What the hell did you do…?’

He didn’t know how, but he was certain of one thing.

The real duel has just begun.
