Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

It's not that Ruby did anything wrong that she was exposed by the goblins; it's just that she had done her best and there was nothing more she could do.

As Ruby walks down the street, she inevitably attracts the attention of the people rebuilding the city and other heroes.

So she would subconsciously hide behind An Yi, like a shy child, walking back and forth behind An Yi, trying to avoid other people's gaze as much as possible.

As she passed by, she saw blood-red tentacles moving timber in mid-air and cutting logs.

"What is that...?" Ruby tugged at An Yi's sleeve and asked, pointing at the blood-red tentacles.

"The Slime Sword of the Slayer Hero," An Yi glanced at it and answered casually.

"The Hero of Slaughter?! Is that Hero of Slaughter here too?!" Ruby asked in astonishment.

As the former strongest, the fourth volume of a certain hero's manual heavily emphasizes the strength of San [the Hero of Slaughter].

Even though she has been gone for some time, it doesn't stop her from being almost as famous as the Saintess Squad.

He is also a very popular hero, and both heroes and ordinary humans discuss whether the "Sword Hero" or the "Killing Hero" is stronger.

However, there's no comparison of combat strength between the "Hero of the Blade" and the "Hero of the Sword".

According to eyewitness accounts from the believers, Hilo has never won against Anyi in any one-on-one duel.

The only point of contention is between An Yi and Elsa, who never actually fought each other.

Ruby was already flattered to be able to meet An Yi directly, and now even the [Hero of Slaughter] was in this city, which naturally surprised her.

So these two heroes can fight side by side!

"A major battle just took place here, so it's normal for her to be here," An Yi said calmly.

"Ruru, if I could, I'd like to see her too...!" Ruby mustered her courage and voiced her wish.

Annie: "I don't think you'd want to see her."

Ruby: "Huh?"

An Yi: "You'll know when you get the chance to meet her."

It was very noticeable, except for her red hair.

Ruby: "Oh, oh."

She knows this kind of common sense!

……

Elsa, who was helping to move the wood, paused for a moment and suddenly turned her gaze to a certain direction.

That's the direction An Yi is in.

Even though the newly built houses blocked her view, she could still spot the other person passing by not far away.

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that she could actually sense the existence of all living beings within a certain radius.

For example, with those thousands upon thousands of goblins, she doesn't just use her eyes to locate them.

She didn't know what kind of ability it was; it was just an instinctive feeling.

Elsa put down the log, sheathed her slime sword, and said to a hero beside her, "I'll be leaving for a moment."

The hero beside her nodded in confusion, then helped Elsa continue her unfinished work.

The hero sighed as he watched Elsa's long, blood-red hair from behind.

When I first met the "Hero of Slaughter," I was terrified, feeling as if he was about to kill me too.

After spending some time with him, I realized that the "Hero of Slaughter" wasn't as ferocious as I had imagined.

Rather, he's actually a pretty calm person.

It's quite apt to say she's like an iceberg; standing next to her feels like you'd freeze to death.

But she's just an iceberg; freezing people to death isn't something she intentionally wants to do.

She didn't mean to scare anyone; she was just naturally frightening.

If you ignore the fact that she's scary, she's just a quiet, expressionless, and hardworking hero.

Unlike [Sword Hero], [Sword Hero] talks quite a bit.

Especially when you ask him questions, he will explain them in great detail.

The "Hero of Slaughter" is someone who knows nothing when asked; the phrase "I don't know" is the most common thing she says.

At this moment, Elsa, who had just left, walked away while looking down to check if her clothes were dirty.

When she reached the house with the glass windows installed, she made sure her hair wasn't messy before continuing on her way.

Although my hair has turned red, it surprisingly requires less styling.

Because it's always so smooth, even if it gets messy, you can easily smooth it out with your fingers.

Elsa quickened her pace, arriving ahead of An and Yi beside a house on their path.

That way, it will look like a chance encounter!

Actually, she didn't intend to do anything; she just wanted to say hello to the [Sword Hero].

Elsa had always been someone without much purpose in life, and everything that changed after she became a hero was because of that day—:

She witnessed a young man wielding a slime sword, instantly killing a large number of slimes. (Barehand)

It could be said that her journey as a hero began from that moment. 9

As she stood atop the city wall, looking at the city that had once helped her, now reduced to utter destruction, she suddenly realized something.

Isn't my ability meant to protect all of this? Ling

If I hadn't seen Annie wielding the slime sword that day, perhaps none of this would have started.

I guess she'll never use her abilities, never use those powers to protect anything she wants to protect, right?

Therefore, An Yi has now become her greatest benefactor.

Isn't it normal to want to greet your greatest benefactor?

However, the other person didn't remember her at all, and if she went out of her way to say hello, it would definitely seem strange.

That's why Elsa wanted to pretend to bump into him.

"Okay...that's about it."

Elsa casually walked from the alley to the main street, pretending to look down at the ground as if she was thinking about something.

Then she looked up and "just happened" to see An Yi walking in the direction she was in.

Similarly, An Yi saw her too.

Ruby saw it too.

"flutter."

At that moment, Ruby, who was walking behind Annie, suddenly felt her legs go weak and sat down on the ground.

"Ah...ah..."

Her lips trembled, her teeth chattered, and her finger twitched as she pointed at Elsa like an elderly person.

"No...you can't speak!"

I'll die! I'm definitely going to die!

Annie looked down at Ruby, whose eyes were glistening with tears: "I told you, you don't want to see her."

Elsa noticed what was happening and stepped forward, bowing slightly to Annie: "Good morning, Mr. Karl."

What's wrong with her?

Elsa turned her head to look at Ruby, who was sitting on the ground.

"Ah...I...!" Ruby wanted to say something, but it was as if something was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a word.

Annie: "He probably tripped over his own hair."

Elsa paused, looked at the pile of black hair under Ruby's bottom, and nodded expressionlessly: "Looks like having too long hair isn't a good thing either."

Annie glanced at Ruby on the ground, then at Elsa, a thought flashing in her eyes: "By the way, can you do me a favor?"

“Mr. Carl, please speak. I will do whatever it takes as long as it is within my power,” Elsa said respectfully.

"Find the believers to take you to the forest, where there is now a kind of outsider called orcs."

They got lost in the forest and accidentally ended up here. We're preventing them from leaving to avoid encountering goblins.

"Can I go and help? Her Highness the Saintess is there now. We can just follow her instructions when we get there," Annie said.

"Okay." Elsa agreed decisively, then turned and left without saying another word.

She has always been very efficient and decisive; she gets things done as soon as she says she'll do it.

Annie glanced down at Ruby, who was still staring at Elsa's back with her hands behind her back, looking terrified.

"Snap out of it, the kitchen will be here soon," Annie said.

Ruby patted her almost undeveloped chest, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath: "Inhale...exhale...inhale..."

So, is that the Hero of Slaughter...?

good……"

Annie: "Her hair is so red."

Ruby: "While I'm not wrong, what I really want to say is how terrifying it was!! I thought I was going to die!"

“It’s alright, a hero can’t kill another hero,” An Yi said. “Besides, she’s not as scary as you think.”

As she spoke, Annie grabbed Ruby's arm, lifted her off the ground, and then helped her stand up.

Ruby still looked shaken. After being lifted up by An Yi, she squatted down on the ground as if hugging herself to calm herself down more quickly.

"Let's take it slow as we go, time is of the essence," An Yi said, bowing her head.

"Then why don't you just run faster?" Ruby retorted.

When someone says "I'll be there soon," they may have just left the house.

Saying it's an emergency just means not stopping to do meaningless things.
