Hero Route 2

The Goblins were dead, the Hobgoblins were dead, the Goblin Shamans were dead, and even the Goblin Centurion was dead.

Seeing the large number of Goblin corpses, the heroes of the reconnaissance team were beyond shocked.

First, they were shocked, then… stunned.

They didn't know how to react at all.

Ah… too strong?!

Elza lay on the ground, looking at the sky, one hand on her stomach.

"So hungry…"

"Ahem." Dus appeared beside her, "Your strength… is truly remarkable."

Elza glanced at him: "Can I still get free meals…?"

She was talking about the League of Heroes.

Dus was stunned, then chuckled wryly and nodded: "Of course."

Haha, a monster who gets hungry.

At least this way, he could still feel that she was human.

If she killed three Goblin Centurions and annihilated thousands of Goblins without feeling any hunger…

Dus couldn't even imagine how monstrous she was.

...

The next day, Ariana's team left Matt Kingdom and bid farewell to Karen.

Before leaving, Karen said to them;

"One day, we will meet again on the path of exterminating monsters."

That's right, Karen was also preparing to embark on her journey to exterminate monsters.

Actually, before she entered the castle with the four, the kingdom had already found three other teammates for Karen.

But because of Karen's special status, and the dangers of monster extermination, they needed to find her a "teacher" for exterminating monsters.

That's the Holy Maiden's team.

Now, Karen had gained experience and strength.

She could now be considered a hero capable of acting independently!

On the afternoon of the day the four left, Karen met with her three other teammates, who were summoned to the country.

The Spell Hero.

The Hear Hero.

The Pain Hero.

The Spell Hero's skill was to attack or support through speech, similar to Ariana's Holy Judge and Holy Healing, a mage and support role.

But she was deaf and mute.

The Hear Hero could enhance their hearing, sense the target's every move, and even hear heartbeats and the movement of enemies from a great distance, using this to predict enemy actions.

This seemingly simple ability was extremely advantageous for ambushes, acting as an assassin and scout in a team, similar to Miruku.

But he lost his hearing three years ago and is deaf.

The Pain Hero's ability was to transform pain into strength. The more pain he felt, the stronger he became. In the team, he was the vanguard and midfielder.

He could increase his Durability to withstand more damage, transforming pain into strength. This is a unique ability.

However…

He had never felt pain in his life.

Knowing that each of them had different physical deficiencies, Karen felt relieved.

Ah… are we all the same?

It's okay, those four heroes trusted her, a blind person.

Then she would also trust these three teammates.

At this moment, Karen noticed the historian writing something.

"Right, you haven't recorded the story of our ancestors in the castle yet, have you?" Karen suddenly asked.

The historian was stunned, then nodded: "Dear Princess-sama, the story of our ancestors in the castle is unknown to me, and I cannot record it."

"Then… let me tell you, and you write it down.

The title will be;

"The Blind Girl Who Joined the Holy Maiden Hero Team"" Karen smiled.

Even though it's temporary…

...

Currently, there are three major strongholds in human territory resisting monsters. These strongholds are so massive that they can withstand attacks from mountain-sized monsters.

One of them, located in the west of human territory, is called—

Silver Moon Stronghold.

In Anyi's memory, this stronghold would fall to the monsters five years later.

Because this is a "territory grabbing" world, not only would humans expand, but monsters would also counterattack and expand.

It's just that monsters wouldn't expand unless it was a critical moment.

This stronghold wasn't just a crucial physical defense against monsters, it was also an organization that actively fought monsters during times of peace.

As the Holy Maiden, Ariana was quickly invited here, arriving with three others and some believers to discuss the next plan against the monsters.

The Goblin counterattack had been a week ago, and a letter arrived in Ariana's hands.

In the meeting room, the other pre-arranged hero team hadn't arrived yet, and others were busy with other tasks. Only a few people were present.

Ariana and her team had arrived.

"The Goblin Centurion led the Goblin army to counterattack, the Exterminate Hero intervened…?!" Ariana looked at the first line of the letter and exclaimed.

Anyi, who had always shown disinterest in the outside world, glanced at Ariana.

The one who had impersonated the [Exterminate Hero] in the forest was him, and now… the real deal had appeared?

The first Exterminate Hero was dead, so this must be the second.

"Exterminate Hero! Anyi! The Exterminate Hero has appeared!!" Ariana excitedly approached Anyi, a gleam in her golden eyes.

In her eyes, the Exterminate Hero was their savior!

When they fought the Goblin Centurion, it was a battle that required their full strength.

If it weren't for the Exterminate Hero's timely appearance and the killing of two Goblin Centurions, they might have died in the forest!

"We didn't see her last time. If we have the chance to see her, we must thank her in person!

And I also want to know how strong she really is!" Ariana said excitedly.

"Yes." Anyi responded.

Ariana continued reading the letter: "A day before the Goblin counterattack, the Stone Hero's team discovered the Exterminate Hero in the forest.

She matched the description given by Steel Hero, long red hair, no ordinary clothes, and a Goblin Shaman's robe used as a makeshift garment."

Anyi: "Yes, yes, yes… Hm?"

Something's wrong.

Hm?

Knowing that he had disguised himself as the Exterminate Hero… and he's here…

Then who is she? Who am I?

Anyi covered his forehead, momentarily confused.

…Wait.

Ah, the real Exterminate Hero coincidentally used the exact same disguise as him?

Even Anyi felt a little surprised by this.

There couldn't be such a coincidence in the world, right?

Ariana continued reading the letter: "The Exterminate Hero registered with the League of Heroes, not using her real name, but using 'Aisha', a phonetic approximation, as an alias."

Anyi: "????"

Ah?

So you're actually "Aisha"?!

Ah, the Exterminate Hero he knew was actually the second generation?!

He hadn't considered this possibility at all.

Because of the Exterminate Hero's abilities, Anyi couldn't imagine how the first Exterminate Hero had died.

The Exterminate Hero's characteristic was that she grew stronger by killing more. In the early stages, by killing slimes frantically, her abilities would increase dramatically.

How did the first Exterminate Hero die?!

Who killed her?
