However, warriors who lack agility and resilience are also easily defeated by giant goblins.
"Sword Hero, we have brought the disaster-stricken area map you requested."
After the training ended, a believer quickly came up and handed a document to An Yi.
"A map of the disaster-stricken area?" Lycorina happened to walk over and leaned in to take a look.
The map doesn't show the entire human territory, but rather the disaster-stricken areas surrounding the village, as well as the heroes who emerged from those areas.
The surrounding area is almost entirely covered by slime disaster zones, but there are a few areas affected by goblin disasters.
The damage caused by goblins is far more severe than that caused by slimes, so it is clear that many villages in those areas have been abandoned.
I don't know if the people in the village died or went to seek refuge.
"So there are other heroes even in places so close to us?" Lycorina looked at the heroes marked in each different region.
Then, she discovered a very strange area.
There are four heroes in that region, but their names are marked with three red X's.
“They’ve all…” Lycorina hesitated, not continuing the question.
"Your Highness, all three heroes have perished."
"Though they are dead, their courageous spirit in fighting against the demons lives on forever," the believer solemnly declared.
Layton, who was also standing to the side, remained silent.
Like Lycorina, he realized something at that moment.
Yes, fighting the demons is no child's play; it's something that requires risking one's life.
They have the help of the battle-hardened, genius swordsman An Yi, but what about the other heroes?
An Yi didn't tell them that, in fact, heavy casualties were the norm for the heroes in the early stages.
Most other teams would be lucky to emerge unscathed from their first entry into the Slime Forest, let alone achieve such a resounding victory.
“Our next destination is here,” Annie said, pointing to the area where three heroes had died.
"Um, isn't that dangerous?" Milu asked timidly from the side.
Nonsense! Part Two
Three heroes have already died here; how can it not be dangerous?!
"Slaying demons is never without danger! It's precisely because it's dangerous that we heroes are needed to handle it!!" Layton said firmly, his eyes blazing.
"Well said!!" Zero
"As expected of the Shield Hero!!"
"Aaaaaaahh ...
The crowd erupted in cheers and screams. Wu
Annie agreed, nodding, "Mr. Layton is right, danger needs to be addressed." Lu
And don't you find it strange?
In a region inhabited only by goblins, three heroes died in such a short period of time.
This is clearly not something a goblin could do.
"Yes! We need to investigate this thoroughly!" Layton exclaimed excitedly.
Miluko: "..."
Why can't we... go fight King Slime again?
Lycorina stood to the side without saying a word, just staring blankly at the ground.
Three heroes have died...
Even if he is resurrected, it will take three months.
She only has ten years to fight the demons, how many heroes can she resurrect?
……
In a tavern in a certain town, a drunken man is surrounded by women.
"You guys had no idea! My three stupid teammates died in the blink of an eye, surrounded by a group of large monsters!"
Luckily, I'm stronger than them all! I fucking fought my way out of the giant monsters, one person and one staff!
"Hero, if the monsters come to our door, will you protect us?" a woman asked.
"Of course! Who do you think I am?!"
"I am the mighty warrior of the stick!!"
Chapter 54 Arrival, Disaster Area
At noon that day, the convoy departed in a grand procession.
White believers in robes, white carriages, and white horses formed a white procession that moved slowly forward in the sunlight.
The next disaster area is not far away; we set off at noon and arrived in the evening.
Actually, it would be faster for the four heroes to run there directly, but...
An Yi sat in the carriage, looking out the window with boredom.
Inside the carriage, Lycorina and Milco sat on the same side, asleep close together. The sight of the two beautiful girls snuggled together was incredibly pleasing to the eye.
Meanwhile, on Annie's side, Layton, sitting beside him, had also fallen asleep by the other car window, snoring so loudly it was annoying.
I don't know how Lycorina and Miluko fell asleep; they must have been really exhausted.
They took a nap on their way back from the forest, but that didn't mean they were well-rested, so they naturally fell asleep as soon as they got back to the car.
An Yi is different from them.
As a hero embarking on a second life, he knew all too well that if he fell asleep now…
I won't be able to sleep tonight.
We'll sleep when we get there; there's no rush.
An Yi turned her gaze away from the window and looked down at the map of the disaster-stricken area in her hand.
On the black map with white text, the three red X's stood out so conspicuously.
Goblins, being the lowest-ranking demon race, can easily kill humans, but killing heroes is still quite difficult.
Even if a goblin comes, it won't have an advantage against a hero with 10 or more points of resilience.
A tank like Layton, whose resilience is inexplicably set to 29, is enough to keep a goblin busy for half a day.
Resilience not only increases health, but also resistance. Any warrior with a bit of resilience can withstand the attacks of a giant goblin.
Moreover, goblins are not very agile; the agility of a normal goblin is 4, and that of a giant goblin is 5.
In theory, a speed of 3 is enough to keep up with the Big Goblin's movements, only the attack speed is different from the opponent's.
An Yi's base agility is 3 points, plus a little bit of prediction that can see through someone's pants. Even if the goblin has 2 more agility points than him, it is difficult for it to hurt him.
In other words, looking at the entire team, only Lycorina is somewhat unable to withstand the damage from the goblins while also being unable to escape.
However, when she uses magic, the big goblins absolutely cannot get close to her.
Five thousand blue bars!
Let alone one goblin, she could handle a hundred of them.
In conclusion, as long as you don't make a stupid mistake and allocate all your points to [Endurance, Intelligence, and Skill] which don't improve your combat abilities, you should be able to deal with Big Goblins.
Even if you're too afraid of pain so you max out resilience, or afraid of violence so you max out strength to become a One-Punch Man, you still wouldn't die at the hands of goblins.
Then the problem is coming.
What happened to the hero team in that region that resulted in such casualties?
In An's view, there are only two possibilities.
First, a demon race has appeared in this area that low-level heroes cannot handle.
This applies whether it involves advanced demons or multiple demon races.
Second, infighting broke out among the heroes.
Yes, heroes can "hurt each other".
Of course, as long as it's not a direct physical injury, the system's weapons and skills will not harm other heroes.
Even if it hurts, it's only a brief pain; no wounds will appear on the body, and the health points won't decrease.
The way the heroes "hurt each other" was written into the system from the very beginning.
[Special Abilities]
The special abilities unique to a hero can be taken away by other heroes.
In her previous life, An Yi had witnessed a similar situation.
Some brave souls deliberately put everyone in danger in order to seize the abilities of their teammates.
After forcing them to reveal their special abilities, and then, through deduction and by correctly proclaiming the ability description, the abilities can be taken away.
This is an extremely heinous act, and once the ability is stripped away, the hero will never appear again.
For example, if the special abilities of a pig hero or a dog hero are stripped away, then there will be no next generation of that hero in the world.
However, this is actually tacitly approved by the system.
After all, if a hero could possess the special abilities of multiple heroes, he would become an exceptionally powerful individual.
Imagine this: in the final holy war against the Demon King, are 100+ heroes with only one special ability the same as 100+ heroes with multiple special abilities?
Not all heroes are good people; they are just all obsessed with defeating the demons, regardless of their character.
After a hero's abilities are taken away, they will not lose their attributes and system, but will have the opportunity to regain their abilities after one month.
Therefore, after taking over an ability, the taker will usually try to kill the person whose ability was taken.
