Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad-Chapter 164
“Touch it… And you’ll die!”
“That thing can talk!?”
Kadrak came running, his abundant flesh jiggling.
Despite his massive build and seemingly sluggish body, his speed wasn’t slow at all.
‘If we collide, that’s at least 12 weeks of hospitalization.’
It was much faster than Choi Hyun-seok running at full speed.
He grabbed Bobo’s fur tightly.
“Bobo! Run!”
“Kwang!”
Bobo kicked off the ground, and almost simultaneously, Kadrak’s club fell where Bobo had been.
Kuung!
The ground shook with the thunderous sound.
Not just a cliché expression – the ground literally felt like it was shaking.
Cold sweat ran down Choi Hyun-seok’s back.
‘Looks like we messed with the wrong one…’
Choi Hyun-seok was certain.
One hit from that club and it would be an express ticket to the afterlife.
After witnessing the movement speed and power up close, the creature’s physical abilities far exceeded his expectations.
“Bobo! We have to be careful!”
“Kwang!”
Having seen the club’s power with his own eyes, Bobo was also extremely tense.
Kuung! Kuung! Kuung!
Kadrak’s club repeatedly struck the ground.
Each time, Bobo showed remarkable skill in barely dodging the club.
“Human! If I ca-catch you, you die!”
“Alright. This should be enough.”
They’d stalled enough time.
Before things got more dangerous, Choi Hyun-seok threw the yellow fruit he was holding.
“Eat this and back off!”
“My-my treasure!”
Kadrak ignored Choi Hyun-seok and jumped toward where the fruit had flown.
Choi Hyun-seok and Bobo left the forest leisurely with deep smiles.
***
The plan was a perfect success.
While Choi Hyun-seok and Bobo drew attention, Rachel and Abelson picked the fruit.
“Hehehe! Hero! Quickly!”
“Alright.”
Choi Hyun-seok carefully cut the fruit.
A sweet fragrance spread through the cave.
Gulp-!
The group simultaneously swallowed their saliva without anyone going first.
“This time you have to cut it into exactly four equal parts for me too!”
“Alright, stop nagging.”
Choi Hyun-seok cut the fruit into exactly four pieces and shared it with the group.
The group started devouring the fruit greedily as soon as they received it.
“Hehit! That idiot probably doesn’t even know the fruit is gone!?”
Rachel said with her mouth full of fruit.
“Of course! Judging by how he talks, he’s just a typical stupid Demon King’s Army soldier!”
“Kwaaang!”
“So delicious…”
Had even a minute passed?
The fruit was already gone.
The group looked at the scattered fruit peels on the ground with regretful expressions.
“Hmm…”
“Umm…”
“Kwang…”
As a strange atmosphere flowed between Choi Hyun-seok, Abelson, and Bobo.
Rachel suddenly stood up.
“Let’s do it again!”
The group nodded as if they had been waiting for this.
“Alright! Let’s go!”
***
Orc Kadrak’s expression was dead serious.
He kept shaking his head, his cheeks jiggling, looking as if something was bothering him.
“Twenty-two! Twenty-three! Twenty-four!”
After counting several times, Kadrak sat down on the ground.
“Strange. One is missing.”
No matter how many times he counted, the fruit count was short.
“Why are there only twenty-four!”
Originally, there were twenty-five fruits in total.
But now there were only twenty-four.
He counted ten times just to be sure, so it was certain.
One fruit had disappeared.
“Grr…! This is humans’ doing. Humans are cunning!”
It was clear that the human who appeared earlier with the monster had secretly stolen the fruit.
If they appeared again, he would teach them a lesson.
Just as he was thinking that.
“Nice catch!”
“Kwang!”
Bobo and Choi Hyun-seok who appeared from the forest snatched a fruit hanging far away.
“Human! Kill you! Treasure! Only I eat!”
Kadrak started chasing them while snorting.
Watching him chase them, Choi Hyun-seok laughed like crazy.
“Kahaha! Let’s eat together! You’re getting fat because you’re so greedy, you jerk!”
“Kill you! My treasure! Give it back!”
After a brief game of tag like that.
Judging that they had stalled enough time, Choi Hyun-seok threw the fruit.
“Here! Too dirty to eat!”
Worried the fruit might break, Kadrak rushed over breathlessly.
Choi Hyun-seok and Bobo left the forest leisurely with devious smiles.
***
“Kihihihihit!”
“Kuhuhuh…!”
“Haa… Haa…”
“Kwang!”
The group gathered in the cave again.
Choi Hyun-seok cut the fruit into exactly four pieces and distributed them.
“Mmm~ This taste!”
“Hero… I feel like I could die from happiness!”
“Kwang!”
“I’ve tasted all sorts of delicacies in the royal palace… But this fruit is the best…!”
The party’s eyes became dreamily unfocused.
Before they knew it, only fruit peels remained on the ground.
Rachel jumped up.
“Hero! Let’s do it again!”
“Alright!”
“Let’s go right now!”
After that, the party repeated their fruit raids several times.
Each time, the stupid Kadrak could only watch helplessly as his fruit was taken.
“Hmm…”
The party had stolen fruit five times in total.
By now, quite a pile of fruit peels had accumulated on the ground.
The party looked at the fruit remains with regretful expressions.
“Taking such small amounts each time just leaves me wanting more.”
“I agree.”
“It all gets digested while we’re running back and forth, so no matter how much we eat, we’re still hungry…”
“KWANG!!!”
Bobo barked especially loudly.
He felt wronged.
Bobo was the largest one here.
He also used the most energy running away.
Bobo thought he should get half the fruit, but these greedy humans showed no signs of thinking that way.
It was frustrating that he couldn’t express this injustice in words.
“KWANG! KWANG!”
“Okay, okay. Let’s go get more!”
“KWAANG!”
“What? What are you complaining about?”
Bobo raised his front paw to point at the peels on the ground.
Then he pointed to his mouth,
And rubbed his belly while making a pitiful expression.
“You’re still hungry?”
“KWANG!”
“Hmm… I guess this wouldn’t even register for Bobo’s appetite.”
Just as Choi Hyun-seok was stroking his chin in thought,
Rachel clapped her hands as if she’d had a good idea.
“Hero, instead of this, let’s just take everything! When I looked earlier, there seemed to be about twenty left!”
“Really? I thought there were only ten, but there’s so many!?”
“Exactly! We shouldn’t be taking them one by one like this! If that pig comes to his senses and eats all the fruit, then it’s over!”
Rachel’s words made the party’s expressions turn serious.
“You’re right… if we keep going like this, he might eat the fruit first.”
“That absolutely can’t happen!”
“KWANG!”
Choi Hyun-seok made a determined expression.
“Alright! This time, let’s take everything!”
“Wooh!”
“Yes!”
“KWANG!”
The party shouted while raising their fists energetically.
Their eyes were all strangely unfocused.
***
Orc Kadrak wore a very, very serious expression.
“My treasure… My treasure is disappearing…!”
Every time that beast and human appeared, one fruit would disappear.
“Strange! Human threw away fruit! But why!?”
Kadrak had definitely seen Choi Hyun-seok throw away the fruit.
Yet when he returned home, mysteriously one fruit would be gone.
After pondering for a while, Kadrak suddenly realized something.
“They have companions!”
It was clear that while he was away, the human’s companions had taken the fruit.
“Bad ones… Cunning humans!”
Indeed, humans are cunning and wicked.
Just as Kadrak was snorting and getting angry,
“We’ll take this one too, thank you!”
Choi Hyun-seok and Bobo appeared from somewhere and snatched a fruit.
Kadrak, who was already angry, rolled his eyes and chased after them.
“Kill! Kill! I’ll kill you! Don’t take my treasure!”
“Don’t wanna! Don’t wanna! Kehehehehe!”
Choi Hyun-seok laughed madly with unfocused eyes.
“KWAANG! KWANG!”
Bobo stuck out his tongue and wiggled his behind.
“Uaaah! Give back my treasure!”
Kadrak, who had been chasing them frantically, suddenly stopped in place.
“Wait.”
At this rate, it would be the same situation as before.
While chasing the human and beast, they would throw away the treasure and run.
Meanwhile, another one would take the treasure from his home.
He couldn’t let that happen.
“I’ll sacrifice one.”
Kadrak turned around and started running.
“Hey! Where are you going!”
Choi Hyun-seok shouted in surprise.
Kadrak ran back to where he had been without looking back.
“Bobo! We have to chase him!”
“KWANG!”
***
Rachel drops the fruit, and Abelson below catches it.
“Kihihihit! Already twelve! We can each eat three!”
Rachel laughed grotesquely with half-focused eyes.
“Should we head back with this much?”
Abelson shook her head at Rachel’s question.
“One… Just one… More…”
“Okay! Okay! One mooore~”
Just as Rachel was about to drop another fruit.
“HUMAAANS!”
A thunderous sound like the sky was falling was heard.
When they turned their heads, they saw Kadrak charging through the forest at a terrifying speed.
“We-we’re done for! Run!”
Rachel shouted in shock.
Abelson also saw Kadrak and immediately started running.
Even while running away, she didn’t give up the fruit, holding an armful of them.
“The fruit! You have to throw away the fruit!”
At Rachel’s words, a troubled expression crossed Abelson’s face.
“Such a waste…”
She clenched her teeth and threw a fruit.
Kadrak swatted away the fruit flying toward him.
“HUMAAANS!”
“All of it! Throw all of it! You’ll die at this rate!”
Kadrak had already closed in right in front of them.
Just as he was about to swing his club at Abelson.
“Hah!”
Abelson, thinking she was really going to die, threw all the fruit in desperation.
And then Kadrak’s swinging club.
KWANG!
Dust rose with the thunderous sound.
Soon after, a sweet fragrance began spreading throughout the forest.
“Huh…?”
“No way…?”
Soon the dust settled.
What was revealed were the remains of the smashed fruit.
“My treasure…”
Kadrak looked down with a face like he’d lost his kingdom.
His round, hill-like belly was covered in pulp from the smashed fruit.
“My treasure…!”
Kadrak fell to his knees.
He stroked his belly while sobbing, as if trying to gather the fruit pulp somehow.
“Uh… This wasn’t my fault…”
Abelson avoided responsibility by quietly turning her head away.
“I-if we eat it within three seconds it’s fine!”
Meanwhile, Rachel frantically jumped into the smashed fruit remains on the ground.
“My… Treasure… MY TREASUUURE!!!”
Kadrak came to his senses and jumped up.
A dangerous killing intent swirled in his eyes.
“Kill.”
He must hold the humans, beast, and mouse-like ones responsible.
He would chase them to the ends of the earth and kill them all by any means necessary.
“Nom nom! This is the taste! This taste!”
First would be that fly, not even worth a mouse, brazenly stealing his treasure right in front of him.
Kadrak raised his club high.
“Hey! Is now the time to be eating that!?”
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok arrived and grabbed Rachel and Abelson.
“Are you crazy!? Shouldn’t you look at the situation before stuffing your face!?”
“Hero. Wipe the peel off your mouth before speaking!”
“Ahem! See this?”
Choi Hyun-seok smiled embarrassedly.
Even in that urgent moment, he had shared and eaten the fruit he was holding with Bobo.
“KWAANG!”
Pleased, Bobo stuck out his tongue with dreamy eyes.
“Bobo! This isn’t the time! We need to run!”
“Am I… The only one who didn’t get to eat…?”
“Earlier I ate half in one bite and it was really delicious. Hahaha!”
“KWANG!”
The conversation wasn’t flowing properly and was all over the place.
An angry voice was heard from behind.
“Kill! Kill! KIIIILL!!!”
“Bobo! Full speed!”
Bobo kicked off the ground.
At the same time, the entire forest began to stir.
“KYAAAA-!”
“KWAAAA!”
Beasts attracted by the sweet fragrance attacked from all directions.
“What the hell is this now!?”
“Must be because of the smell!”
Even the beasts that had been too afraid of Kadrak to approach now charged in, unable to resist the scent of all the fruit being smashed at once.
The desire brought by the fruit’s fragrance was too sweet to be suppressed by fear.
“Move! Move! Move! Move!”
Each time Kadrak swung his club, a beast’s head exploded.
The force was so strong that it seemed like bombs were exploding inside their heads.
“Run! We’ll really die if we’re caught!”
“KWAANG!”
If they died, they couldn’t eat fruit either.
Bobo desperately charged through the forest with the party on his back.
