Hero Route 2

Dus, even without the [Encourage] buff, still had a remarkable 20 Agility.

But compared to Miruku's speed...

The difference was vast!

Despite his 20+ Agility, he could barely follow Miruku's movements.

Even at 35 Agility, wearing slime armor, all he could see was a blue blur.

Miruku's Agility was monstrous; her base Agility was 4.

The Exterminate Hero's speed was practically identical to Miruku's!

Even if the Exterminate Hero had high base Agility, her speed was still remarkable. But this raised a question.

With such high Agility, what about her other stats?

She had reportedly instantly killed two Goblin Centurions.

That required at least 20 Strength to instantly kill Centurions that weren't under the [Encourage] buff, right?

35+ Agility, 20+ Strength—that's already over 50 points.

What about her other stats?

Endurance needs to be at least 10–15, right?

Without significant Endurance, she wouldn't be able to maintain such a high speed. A couple of attacks, and she'd be exhausted.

Even at level 20 or higher, that leaves three stats incredibly low.

This means…

She fights on the edge of a knife, relying on extremely high Agility to avoid damage. Her Durability and other stats are practically nonexistent. She doesn't need Prana to use skills.

She relies solely on immense Strength and Agility to instantly kill her enemies!

「Terrifying woman!」

Truly worthy of the title of [Exterminate] Hero...!!

...

Deep within the Goblin forest, the Goblin kingdom once again dispatched three Goblin Centurions to reclaim lost territory.

Gover, Gofiu, Gossis!

And unlike the previous Centurions, these were better prepared.

The previous Centurions hadn't considered the possibility of a human attack. Their weapons and armor were crude.

Their entire arsenal consisted of a rusty greatsword.

But these Centurions were clad in armor, wielded new weapons, and even equipped the thousands of Goblins under their command with basic leather armor.

They were determined to reclaim the forest!

But... upon entering, they made a discovery.

There was no need to reclaim anything.

The humans had simply abandoned the territory without leaving a garrison.

According to surviving Goblins, powerful entities frequently appeared, slaughtering large numbers of Goblins with each appearance.

The Centurions decided that, besides reclaiming the territory, their next goal was to eliminate these humans.

And these humans had come from the town outside the forest.

After a brief discussion, the three Centurions decided to lead their army and conquer the human town!

Standing before the ruins of their former camp, the three Centurions addressed a group of Goblin Shamans.

"The humans haven't noticed us yet. Do not alert them!"

Gover shouted;

"We attack tonight! While the humans are asleep, we strike! We will conquer the entire human city in one fell swoop!"

"Cackle cackle cackle—!!" The Goblin Shamans raised their hands in excitement.

Exploiting an enemy's weakness was something Goblins were born to do. They loved to use this to torment humanity.

[Goblin Invasions] frequently occurred during twilight and at night. This was because at night, human vision was limited, and they were often tired.

This was the easiest way to inflict devastating damage!

But at that moment, the three Goblin Centurions suddenly twitched their ears, as if hearing something unusual.

Rustling—

"Swish—!"

At that moment, a red figure appeared in the clearing about a hundred meters away!

A red-haired woman!

Elza looked at the three Goblin Centurions, stunned.

Because incomprehensible symbols were appearing before her.

[￥#@%@#￥%( Unlocked new Bestiary )

￥#: 30#*: 10@%...]

"Human...?!" Gofiu exclaimed in shock.

"Wait, why is there a human here?!" Gossis exclaimed in surprise.

"No matter how she appeared, kill her!!"

Gover shouted, drawing his silver greatsword.

The Goblin Shamans were also shaken and raised their staffs—

Encourage!

Simultaneously, the three Goblin Centurions activated their own [Encourage].

A red glow surged over them, their stats instantly increasing by 10 points!

Meanwhile, Dus had expected Elza to wait for them.

But seeing her burst from the trees and run into the clearing, it was too late to stop her!

「Idiot!」

Seconds later, the reconnaissance team saw Elza exposed to the enemy.

"We have to help her!" one Hero said.

At that moment, Dus saw the Goblin Shamans waving their staffs and the red glow intensifying on the Centurions!

"No!" Dus shouted, stopping everyone. "We can't go!"

He knew the three Goblin Centurions had activated [Double Encourage]!

Their Agility was now 20!

Combined with their inhuman strength, their actual speed exceeded 20 Agility!

The Heroes accompanying them also had Agility around 20.

If they faced Centurions with 40 Strength and 20+ Agility…

They would all die!

"Observe first. If the Exterminate Hero can't handle them, we run!" Dus gritted his teeth.

In his mind, he cursed Elza relentlessly.

Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!!!

Who would run straight towards a Class 4 monster?!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

The three Goblin Centurions charged at Elza, their momentum unstoppable.

Elza was stunned.

These were Goblins?

She recalled Goblins being typically ragged and poorly equipped.

Why were they wearing such good armor?

"Boom—!"

Gover took a step, charging towards Elza like a huge cannonball, his greatsword aimed at her waist!

This blow was meant to cleave her in two!

「So fast!」 Elza thought.

This was the first time she had seen such a fast Hobgoblin!

And that sword was huge!

If she was hit…

She'd be instantly killed!

Then, everyone saw Elza raise her hand as the Centurion approached.

"Swish—!"

A crimson thorn burst forth, piercing Gover's helmet and head!

The first Goblin Centurion, dead!
