Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad

A massive catastrophe occurred when Bobo ate one of the Demon King’s Army’s commanders.

Choi Hyun-seok could only sigh deeply without words.

“Haah…”

“Hero! Hero! Hero! Do something!!!”

Rachel frantically circled around while shouting.

“I get it, so please just shut up…”

“We can’t just stand here doing nothing! Can’t you see!? Those muscle-heads are charging at us in a group!”

Rachel pointed in one direction.

Looking where she pointed, a wild kingdom from another world unfolded before them.

All sorts of muscular Demon King’s Army soldiers with animal heads were charging angrily towards them.

“That’s the one! I saw that beast eat Commander Regis!”

“After it! After it!”

“Thanks to Commander Regis, we’ll feast on beast meat tonight! Wahaha!”

Watching the muscle monsters approach, Hyun-seok ran his hand through his hair.

“This isn’t some animal bodybuilding contest… Incredible…”

“Is that supposed to be a joke? That’s so not funny!”

“I wasn’t trying to be funny.”

“Anyway, think of something to do. They’re already here!”

“I’m thinking, so please shut up…”

Hyun-seok was desperately racking his brain.

How could they get out of this predicament!?

Those gym bros charging over probably didn’t know that Bobo here was Hemis’s pet.

Even Lepple, the bed-wetter they just met, didn’t believe it until Hyun-seok told him.

Would it be possible to convince them in this situation?

“Haah…”

But there wasn’t enough time to find a solution.

Everything happened too suddenly, and the Demon King’s Army was approaching too quickly.

Thud thud thud thud thud!

The ground shook slightly from their tremendous charge.

“Got you! You bastards!”

“Kuhehe! Tonight we’re having dog soup!”

The Demon King’s Army instantly surrounded Hyun-seok and Bobo.

Rachel quickly hid herself in Hyun-seok’s arms.

“Hero… This is the end for us…”

Rachel muttered while trembling.

That’s when Hyun-seok spoke in a low voice.

“It’s not over yet.”

“What? What do you mean…?”

“I’m already a man who’s gone as far as I can go.”

Someone once said.

Life is a series of choices.

‘There are only two options.’

Right now, there were two choices.

Either die quietly here.

Or struggle until the very end before dying.

“Even if I die, I’m going to die with some guts.”

Dying quietly wasn’t Hyun-seok’s style.

“Hnngh…!”

Hyun-seok took a deep breath.

Just before bursting, he exhaled with all his might.

“Hey, you bastards!!!”

Hyun-seok’s shout echoed throughout the castle.

***

For a moment, silence fell.

Everyone stared at Hyun-seok’ with round eyes at his sudden outburst.

“What is that?”

“Looks like a human?”

“Human? What are you talking about? Look at his face! He’s clearly one of us.”

“No, no. Look carefully. He’s definitely human.”

“Human…? Is it a holiday today…? Either way, we’ll have good nourishment…”

The Demon King’s Army soldiers whispered among themselves.

“By the way, didn’t he just curse at us?”

“That can’t be. Unless a human’s gone mad, they wouldn’t dare.”

“He already looks mad though?”

“That’s true.”

Just as the Demon King’s Army discussed, Hyun-seok wasn’t in his right mind.

His eyes were rolled back and twitching, and foam was coming from his mouth.

‘If I lose the momentum, it’s over!’

The only thought in Hyun-seok’s mind was that he had to dominate the Demon King’s Army.

He shouted again.

“You bastards! What are you looking at?!”

His desperate cry echoed throughout the castle.

His vocal prowess was indeed first-class!

But the Demon King’s Army wasn’t the type to cower at mere shouting.

“The arms are mine. Don’t touch them.”

“I want the breast meat. I’ve been lacking protein lately.”

“Everyone stop. Anyone who touches the leg meat dies by my hand.”

The Demon King’s Army wasn’t intimidated at all.

They were just busy discussing how to butcher and share Hyun-seok.

“By the way, what kind of beast is that?”

“Never seen it before.”

“Who cares what kind of beast it is? It attacked Commander Regis, so we have to dispose of it.”

“Right. Let’s make it into a stew.”

Bobo was being treated the same as Hyun-seok.

By regulation, beasts that attack the Demon King’s Army are to be killed immediately.

In the first place, magical beasts were literally just that – beasts.

It was quite common for magical beasts to attack the Demon King’s Army when they couldn’t overcome hunger or stress.

And on such days, that unit could feast.

“Is Kral coming for dinner tonight?”

“Yeah. Kral ate a newbie yesterday.”

“Hahaha! Let’s eat with gratitude to the newbie and Kral! Hahaha!”

To summarize, eating dead comrades and magical beasts was common in the Demon King’s Army.

Naturally, the reason why the Demon King’s Army came running was obvious.

“Commander Regis. I hope he’s not fully digested yet.”

“Why?”

“I’ve always wondered what he tastes like.”

Just hunger.

That was all there was to it.

Revenge for their commander?

They shouldn’t have expected human-like emotions from those whose thought patterns were different from humans from the start.

“Shall we begin the dismemberment then?”

“I told you the human’s legs are mine! Don’t you dare touch them!”

That’s when it happened.

A soldier resembling a wild boar stepped forward.

His name was Bolred.

He was the vice commander, said to be the strongest after the commander.

“Human. Are you prepared?”

Bolred asked with a sneer.

“What nonsense about being prepared.”

In that instant, Hyun-seok swung his hand.

Slap!

Bolred’s eyes widened as he was suddenly struck across the face.

After processing what happened, his eyes filled with rage.

“This bastard dares…!”

His jowls quivered with anger.

His massive tusks shook along with them.

But Hyun-seok didn’t back down.

“Hey! How dare you! What makes you think you can bare those vicious tusks!?”

“What…?”

“Do you know who this is!?”

Hyun-seok pointed at Bobo.

Bolred glanced at Bobo once before looking back at Hyun-seok.

“Why should I care who some mere beast is!?”

“This is Lord Bobo!”

“Bobo…?”

Bolred hesitated at the mention of Bobo.

At the same time, murmurs broke out among the gathered Demon King’s Army soldiers.

“Bobo, could it be that Bobo…?”

“You mean the beast raised by the Corps Commander!?”

“Hey, isn’t this serious?”

Hyun-seok smiled inwardly.

It was time to press the advantage.

“That’s right! This here is the cute, magnificent, luxurious Lord Bobo!”

There wasn’t a single soldier at the 3rd Corps headquarters who didn’t know Bobo’s name.

However, besides the caretaker, almost no one had actually seen Bobo, so there were only rumors.

Vice Commander Bolred shouted,

“You think I, Bolred, would fall for such a lie!? As expected of a human, resorting to petty tricks!”

The Demon King’s Army soldiers nodded at Bolred’s words.

“Of course it couldn’t be.”

“Right. How could Lord Bobo be here?”

“We can’t fall for the human’s cunning tongue.”

The momentum quickly shifted to Bolred’s side.

They really were simple-minded.

Bolred smiled triumphantly.

Hyun-seok ground his teeth.

‘This stupid boar bastard…’

It was certain that this was Bobo.

And if anything happened to Bobo, Hemis definitely wouldn’t let it slide.

She might even execute all the soldiers here.

But what did that matter?

‘What’s important is how I survive right now!’

I couldn’t care less about what punishment these muscle-heads would receive later.

The only important thing now was surviving this life-threatening situation.

‘Is Bobo okay…?’

Hyun-seok briefly checked on Bobo.

“Purr… Khuung…!”

Bobo was dozing off, apparently having food coma.

‘Haah… I have to do it myself. Somehow I need to take control of the situation.’

Hyun-seok’s eyes gleamed once more.

“Are your eyes just for decoration!? How dare you not recognize Lord Bobo when he’s right in front of you!”

“Human. Give up. No matter how much you wag that tongue, no one will fall for your words.”

Just as Bolred was speaking confidently, Housework carefully raised his foot.

Then he stomped on sleeping Bobo’s tail with all his might.

Crunch!

The dozing Bobo let out a terrible shriek in surprise.

“KWAAAAAANG!”

Indeed, worthy of being a premium beast raised by the Demon King himself.

Bobo’s cry, startled awake by his tail being stepped on, carried unfathomable rage and killing intent.

The soldiers flinched at that presence, and Hyun-seok seized the moment to shout, “Can you still deny this is Lord Bobo after seeing such dignity!?”

“A-a mere beast dares…!”

“KWAAAAANG!”

In that moment, Bobo turned to look at Hyun-seok with blazing eyes.

A look demanding to know who dared step on his tail.

Hyun-seok raised his hand and pointed at Bolred.

“This boar dared to disturb Lord Bobo’s sweet slumber!”

Bobo’s mouth opened wide.

“Uh… Uh…?”

It was a split-second moment.

Chomp!

Vice Commander Bolred’s head instantly disappeared into Bobo’s mouth.

Crunch, crack!

As his head was crushed inside, blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

From the start, ranks in the Demon King’s Army were determined by pure strength alone.

Since Bobo had already eaten a commander, there was no reason he couldn’t eat a vice commander.

“Sir Bolred is dead too!”

“Could it really be the Lord Bobo…?”

The soldiers backed away in confusion.

“That’s right! This is Lord Bobo!”

Hyun-seok stepped forward.

“Anyone else want to become Lord Bobo’s snack!? Huh!?”

The soldiers’ fearful eyes darted around.

No matter how ruthless the Demon King’s Army was, they were still living beings.

Like all living things, they couldn’t help but fear death.

“Come at me! I’ll cut you to pieces for daring to lay hands on Lord Bobo, Hemis’s pet!”

Hyun-seok shouted triumphantly.

Finally, the soldiers began to kneel one by one.

“We-we’re sorry!”

“We were too stupid to realize! Please forgive us!”

All the soldiers knelt and pressed their heads to the ground.

Hyun-seok put his hands on his hips and proclaimed loudly before them.

“Very well! I’ll specially forgive you this time!”

“Thank you!”

“Remember this well! This here is Lord Bobo. And I am Choi Hyun-seok, Lord Bobo’s caretaker. Understood!?”

“Yes!”

Just as Hyun-seok was nodding with satisfaction,

[You have subdued numerous Demon King’s Army soldiers with overwhelming charisma]

[Hidden stat Charisma has increased!]

‘Well, this is unexpected.’

Just surviving would have been something to be thankful for.

But he even gained an unexpected stat increase.

‘Is this what they call turning crisis into opportunity?’

Hyun-seok smiled contentedly.

“Be careful from now on! Got it!?”

After dispersing all the soldiers, Hyun-seok looked back toward where the chef was.

“Good. Now it’s over once we get to the chef.”

All problems were solved.

All that remained was getting the ingredients from the chef.

That’s what he thought for certain.

Until he heard the voice from behind him.

“You seem to be having fun?”

A beautiful voice rang out.

At the same time, Hyun-seok’s face froze.

‘No way… It can’t be…?’

Normally he would have admired a beautiful woman’s voice, but not now.

Because he knew who that beautiful voice belonged to.

Cold sweat began pouring down his entire body like rain.

‘I must have heard wrong, right? Yeah? That can’t be possible, right? Right?’

Though Hyun-seok desperately tried to deny reality, the voice cruelly awakened him to it.

“I heard a commotion all the way to my office, so I came to see what was happening…”

Hyun-seok’s head turned slowly like a broken robot.

“And I find you doing something cute?”

Corps Commander Hemis.

Her red lips filled his field of vision.
