Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad-Chapter 105
Bobo closed his jaws, trying to bite down on Worsten.
Worsten pushed against the jaw with his hands, fighting for survival.
Worsten emerged victorious from this struggle.
Bobo’s gradually retreating jaw was forced completely open.
“Ack…!”
Bobo retreated in pain as his jaw was forcibly opened.
Seizing this opportunity, Worsten shouted.
“Everyone retreat! The operation has failed!”
Worsten made a quick assessment.
The attempt to capture Reidrun had already failed.
Therefore, they needed to kill him.
In the current situation, having regular soldiers and knights would only lead to more casualties.
“Go now! Scatter and retreat! Regroup at the rendezvous point!”
As the order was given again, the hesitating soldiers withdrew en masse.
The soldiers and knights scattered in all directions as they were trained.
“Aren’t we going to pursue them?”
Choi Hyun-seok asked.
Reidrun shook his head.
“We need to deal with that man. We can’t afford to focus elsewhere.”
Even in the chaotic situation, Reidrun’s gaze remained incredibly sharp.
He was focused solely on Worsten Gesred.
In response, Worsten raised his mace.
“I am the radiant and faithful Worsten Gesred.”
A brilliant white light burst from Worsten’s body.
In the powerful light that threatened to blind them, Worsten roared.
“By the will of the august god and empire, I shall destroy evil!”
Worsten Gesred had made his decision.
‘I will die here along with the Red Nightmare!’
Many knights had already died alongside Byron Hane.
He couldn’t return empty-handed from this situation.
‘If I can trade my life to kill someone who would become a future Corps Commander, that’s not a bad deal.’
Holy power erupted from Worsten’s body.
He was not an ordinary knight but a Holy Knight.
He intended to use a technique considered one of the final secret arts of Holy Knights.
Divine Descent.
Humans named it Divine Descent believing that god descends into their body, but the reality was different.
It was a technique that extremely activated the body using holy power.
Similar to Plomot, but different in the sense that using it meant certain death.
“Uaaaah!”
Light exploded from Worsten’s body.
As his mind grew hazy, he felt power that could destroy anything.
“Kuk, none of you will leave here alive…”
Worsten couldn’t finish his sentence.
Choi Hyun-seok and Reidrun had already closed in and thrown their punches.
“Only idiots give transformation time!”
Two fists simultaneously struck Worsten.
Crack!
Worsten, hit in the abdomen, flew through the air, and crashed into a tree.
“Don’t stop!”
“Yes!”
“Kwang!”
Choi Hyun-seok, Reidrun, and Bobo.
The combined assault of the hero, demon, and demon beast began.
***
Abelson Mariette.
Former next Holy Maiden of the Holy Empire.
Now serving as Choi Hyun-seok’s dedicated healer(?) in the Demon King’s Army.
In her youth, Abelson grew up as a princess of the Mariette royal family.
At age 15, she began hearing the voice of god and was designated as the next Holy Maiden of the Deusis faith.
Afterward, she traveled the continent helping those in need as the next Holy Maiden.
It was quite difficult, but rewarding work.
Holy Knights always accompanied her, and countless people revered Abelson.
21 years.
A time that could be considered both short and long.
Though her life wasn’t always smooth, it was far from fierce combat.
“Kwaaang!”
“Kill them! Launch everything!”
Abelson was overwhelmed by the catastrophe unfolding before her.
Demon Beasts devouring people.
People killing people.
A sight she could never get used to.
All Abelson could do was watch in a daze.
“Everyone retreat! The operation has failed!”
That’s when the enemies began to withdraw.
The soldiers and knights scattered in all directions following Worsten’s retreat order.
Unfortunately, some soldiers spotted Abelson during the retreat.
“Abelson Mariette!”
“The traitor Holy Maiden!”
Looking around in panic, Abelson quickly shook her head.
‘Get it together! No one can help you!’
She shakes her head rapidly.
This is during battle.
No one can help her now.
She must overcome any difficulty by herself.
“Let’s capture that woman and return!”
“How much was the bounty on the Holy Maiden!?”
Three strong men approach.
Abelson had to make a choice.
‘Should I cast protection magic?’
She hadn’t learned holy magic that harmed humans.
All she could do now was buy time with a barrier.
But this option had to be discarded.
‘It would draw attention.’
Right now, only three soldiers are approaching.
The others haven’t noticed Abelson’s identity yet.
Using magic now would draw attention.
‘Once knights arrive, it’ll be hard to hold out.’
Choi Hyun-seok, Reidrun, and Bobo are all engaged in fierce combat with Worsten.
If she gets captured now, she’ll become a huge burden to them.
‘What should I do…?’
That’s when.
Something caught Abelson’s eye.
‘A mace…’
A type of iron club called a mace.
Its owner wasn’t visible, probably lost during the battle.
Abelson picked up the mace as if entranced.
“Kuk. What’s she doing?”
“Did joining the Demon King’s Army mess with her head?”
The soldiers snickered.
Abelson’s thin frame seemed to struggle just holding the mace.
Her frail arms looked pitiful even to watch.
It was almost cute seeing her hold a mace, having never fought during her life as Holy Maiden.
“Hey, former Holy Maiden. That’s a dangerous thing. How about putting it down while we’re asking nicely?”
“Isn’t Abelson from the Mariette royal family? A Princess with a Mace, this is a complete comedy. Hahaha!”
“Hanson. If we capture the Holy Maiden, promotion is guaranteed, right?”
“Not just promotion. The bounty would feed three generations!”
“Khe! This is thrilling. To find such an opportunity during the retreat. Could this be divine providence?”
“Right. Even god must want to punish the traitor Holy Maiden. Khehehe!”
Then one soldier who was listening spoke up.
“Both of you shut up. Want others to notice and share the credit?”
“Ah right. We should be careful. Can’t share the bounty.”
“Yeah. Not enough to share between us three.”
The soldiers were already excited as if they’d captured Abelson.
There was an enormous bounty on Abelson, branded as a traitor.
An unimaginable amount for commoners.
Their minds were filled only with thoughts of claiming the bounty for themselves.
“This is the worst…”
But there was something this soldier trio didn’t know.
That Abelson had received divine blessing.
Though not widely known, those blessed by god possessed physical abilities comparable to decent knights.
In other words.
“Huh? Are you trying to swing that? That’s dangerous.”
“What if you hurt your precious body? Kuk kuk!”
For Abelson, dealing with three regular soldiers was barely an appetizer.
Crack!
The soldier’s head was half-crushed by the mace.
Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere.
The soldier collapsed to the ground like a falling structure.
“Hanson! This crazy-!”
“Get it together! We need to attack the Holy Maiden right-“
Crack! Crack!
They couldn’t even see how Abelson moved.
The moment they thought the mace was swung, death was certain.
“Haa… Haa…”
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
Abelson’s breathing became rough.
Her cheeks were flushed red.
It wasn’t from exhaustion.
The saint’s body doesn’t feel fatigued from just swinging a mace a few times.
‘My heart feels like it’s going to burst.’
Tension.
Her blood raced madly at experiencing murder for the first time.
Blood rushed to her head, making her dizzy.
She looked at her mace.
Drip, drop…
Flesh and blood stuck to the mace fall to the ground.
Watching this, Abelson’s eyes became dreamy.
“It’s thrilling…”
Abelson, who had muttered without realizing, quickly covered her mouth.
She looked around quickly, worried someone might have seen her.
“…”
Fortunately, no one had seen.
Abelson, letting out a sigh of relief, quietly hid herself.
The mace, still stained with blood, remained in her hand as she disappeared into the forest.
***
“Huff, hah…! Is that guy really human?”
Choi Hyun-seok wore an expression of horror.
Before his eyes stood Worsten, covered in blood.
‘Except for Park Hyun-a, he’s the strongest human I’ve ever met. And overwhelmingly so!’
Worsten fought without giving an inch.
He was facing Reidrun, Choi Hyun-seok, and Bobo all at once.
It would have been impossible normally, but his use of Divine Descent made it possible.
“That’s why knights are troublesome. The Divine Descent makes them about 1.5 times stronger the moment they use it.”
“Are there no side effects?”
“None.”
“That’s really an overpowered technique…”
Divine Descent was both similar to and different from Plomot.
There was a reason why Plomot, despite its power, was abandoned.
Too many side effects.
Not only was the failure rate high, but terrible pain came during its use.
Judgment becomes clouded, and it’s difficult to control the suddenly strengthened body as a bonus.
Additionally, there’s the restriction that no other martial techniques can be used during Plomot.
After it ends, exhaustion sets in making it impossible to move a finger, and in severe cases, it leads to death.
This is why Plomot couldn’t help but be abandoned.
But Divine Descent was different.
It took only the advantages of Plomot, with not a single disadvantage.
Moreover, during Divine Descent, concentration increases as if on drugs, and pain disappears, making combat ability rise even further.
“Divine Descent has only one price. Life itself.”
The price for all of this is just one’s life.
Divine Descent leads to certain death the moment it’s used.
“The moment his holy power runs out, he will die.”
“How much longer do you think it will take?”
“Not much longer. He’s at his limit too.”
“That’s fortunate then…”
Choi Hyun-seok glanced around.
Both Reidrun and Bobo were severely wounded.
Especially Reidrun’s condition was beyond serious – it was surprising he wasn’t dead already.
It was puzzling how he could still stand as if nothing was wrong.
‘I’m almost at my limit too…’
Choi Hyun-seok’s condition wasn’t any better either.
To fight against Worsten, he had no choice but to overuse his demonic energy and magic.
Not only had he already hit rock bottom, but his body was being twisted from the backlash.
He raised his head to look at Worsten.
“Is the strategy meeting over?”
Worsten raised his iron mace.
“Let’s end this without wasting more time.”
If there was any consolation, Worsten’s condition wasn’t great either.
The armor he wore was damaged beyond recognition, and his bones were broken in several places, causing his skin to swell.
Only through the power of Divine Descent could he move normally, unable to feel fatigue or pain.
“This fight is my victory.”
At that moment.
Something caught Hyun-seok’s eye.
‘Ms. Abelson…!?’
A woman approached stealthily behind Worsten.
It was Abelson Mariette.
In her hands was a blood-stained mace.
“Uwaaaaah! Die!”
Suddenly, Hyun-seok charged forward with a roar.
Seeing this, Worsten smirked.
“So you’re a man after all.”
Worsten thinks.
This hero is preparing for his final strike.
He plans to put everything into it.
Though a traitor, he was satisfied with this manly display.
Worsten decided to respond in kind.
“Come!”
Worsten’s iron mace shone brightly.
As Hyun-seok drew closer.
Just before the two would clash.
A heavy impact struck the back of Worsten’s head.
Crack!
“Kheok…!”
Worsten staggered and turned around.
There stood the Holy Maiden holding the mace.
‘Why are you…?’
Why was the Holy Maiden here?
No, why was the Holy Maiden holding a mace?
Various thoughts crossed his mind, and only then did he realize he had been deceived by Choi Hyun-seok, but it was too late.
“Ms. Abelson! Nice shot!”
Choi Hyun-seok, who had already closed in, was swinging his fist.
An uppercut striking from bottom to top.
It was a technique commonly known as the Rising Dragon Fist.
Reidrun-style Fighting Technique
Form 4 – Supreme Rising Progress
Looking at the approaching fist, Worsten thought,
‘Is this divine punishment…’
In his final moment, what his eyes reflected was the Holy Maiden’s radiant smile.
