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

But after she grasped the concept of "thinking" that day, she began to change.

Why was she kept getting hit?

Perhaps it was because she hadn't considered the enemy's purpose in attacking.

But she couldn't figure it out on her own, so she simply went to ask An Yi directly.

An Yi's answer to her was, "An attack is not just about hitting you, it may also be about forcing you to leave your original position, so change your position more often and don't let the enemy lead you by the nose."

Elsa had already started thinking, but couldn't come up with an answer, so Anyi simply told her the answer.

After hearing the answer, Elsa seemed to have an epiphany and made rapid progress.

Although her understanding of combat prevented her from thinking too deeply, even being unintelligent has its limitations...

That is, just dodging randomly!

As long as she dodges irregularly, the enemy will have no way of knowing her next move.

Chapter 74 Feigned Attack (4k)

At first, she was the one getting beaten up, but now ten highly agile warriors are chasing her and beating her up. They hit her for ages, but it's like hitting cotton. They can't hit her and can't figure out her movement patterns at all.

The agile heroes were wondering how to deal with the [Hero of Slaughter], but he wasn't as strong as they had imagined.

But after a few days, they felt ashamed and had this thought in their hearts...

So the "Hero of Slaughter" wasn't even using his full strength!

Once we get serious, dodging their attacks won't be a piece of cake!

Anyi had also told them to take it seriously, because Elsa didn't take their attacks seriously, which was why they were often able to hit her.

Now it seems that's really the case!

An Yi wasn't exaggerating, because Elsa genuinely didn't take the attack seriously at first, which is why she didn't think things through.

Only after being beaten did I realize that my mind went blank when I was hit, and then I felt the need to improve myself.

The reason Elsa is able to dodge the attacks of the highly agile hero is not because she has thought about it much.

Instead, she finally started using her "skills".

High skill levels can improve reaction time, that is, the speed at which you can respond to various situations.

Elsa only needs to pay attention to the attacks at all times; her extremely high skill level will help her dodge and deal with them quickly.

Before this, she may not have used any of her "skills" at all, and was just reacting instinctively.

It's an instinctive reaction, not a conscious effort to avoid.

Her "technique" started to work when she realized she needed to dodge.

"You've trained even better."

At this moment, An Yi spoke up.

"The warriors who trained with you can no longer touch you, so continuing the training is pointless."

Instead of training, it's better to rest well and then participate in actual combat.

“I want Mr. Carl to train me,” Elsa said earnestly, looking into Anie’s eyes.

Lycorina grinned: "Ah...it's probably best not to..."

Elsa: "I think I should."

An Yi: "..."

He started to get stubborn.

However, he still shook his head.

"No, that's not necessary."

"Why?" Elsa asked.

An Yi: "I don't want to."

Elsa: "...Ah."

Not only Elsa, but even Lycorina was stunned.

Logically, shouldn't An Yi have tried to reason with her and persuade her?!

So you just bluntly say you don't want to?!

That's absolutely not a valid reason to persuade someone!

“Let’s go.” Annie grabbed Lycorina’s arm and pulled her away.

As he walked past Elsa, he whispered, "Have confidence, you're already excellent."

"Fine, leave then! She wasn't trying to drag me away from training! Why are you trying to pull me away?!"

Lycorina's complaining grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared.

Elsa stood there, staring blankly at the ground, not knowing how much time had passed.

"Does this mean... Mr. Carl has given his approval?"

……

"So why aren't you helping Miss Aisha train? There must be a reason, right?" Lycorina asked An Yi, rubbing her aching arm.

"Because there is no need, she has already trained well enough."

The enemy she faces is the goblins, not me.

"So, I have nothing more to teach her," Annie said frankly.

"Then why don't you tell her?" Lycorina asked.

"She felt she still had shortcomings, which is why she asked me to continue training her."

"I told her she's trained well enough, but she just feels it's not enough," Annie said.

“That… seems to be true.” Lycorina grinned.

If Elsa truly thinks that way, she will inevitably feel inadequate no matter what.

If Annie beats her in training, she'll feel like the training wasn't enough.

Even if An Yi loses to her in training, she will only think that An Yi was holding back.

Of course, in reality, An Yi lost to her, and it was definitely because she held back.

After all, An Yi's agility was no less than hers.

It's normal that she felt inadequate because she didn't fight the Goblin King's servant again.

As long as she doesn't truly face the enemy, she will always feel unprepared.

When she actually stands in front of the enemy and easily dodges their attack with movements she can hardly believe, will she be able to feel her own progress?

"Although I know that war is about to break out, I don't feel very nervous. Have I gotten used to it already?" Lycorina said as she walked beside Anie.

"It's been almost half a year, it would be strange if you were still nervous," An Yi said calmly.

"There are still nine and a half years until the end of humanity... but we're still fighting goblins."

"Can I really defeat the Demon King after being dead for nine and a half years...?" Lycorina wondered.

"I don't know," Annie replied casually.

Liu's answer is definitely yes.

Judging from the current progress of all the heroes, it is actually much faster than in the previous life.

Unlike his previous life where information was accumulated through deaths, Zero's information in this life has been shared with all heroes from the very beginning.

The lower the mortality rate of heroes, the more heroes accumulate combat experience, and the more heroes who accumulate combat experience have a greater chance of survival, creating a virtuous cycle.

The result of this virtuous cycle is that the heroes can advance towards the demon race at a faster pace.

Of course, there are even more formidable enemies to come, and we cannot be complacent just because we have defeated the goblins.

Goblins are nothing among the demons; they're not even worth considering as watchdogs.

Watchdogs have owners who feed them, but goblins are just a bunch of wild dogs, living in "suburbs" that even proper demons wouldn't bother to visit.

"If there's nothing else, I'm going back to sleep to get some rest for tonight's battle," Annie said.

Lycorina: "I'm going to sleep too, shall we sleep together?"

Anyi (answered immediately): "No."

"Hmph, you must be shy! I didn't know before, but now I completely understand!" Lycorina said with a proud smile.

Annie: "I want to ask, isn't this a place where one should feel ashamed?"

Lycorina: "But I'm not shy, so why are you shy?"

An Yi: "Then be normal."

"I'm perfectly normal, okay! And I haven't mentioned sleeping with you in so long!" Lycorina said angrily.

“Then why so suddenly?” Annie asked.

Lycorina: "It just suddenly occurred to me!"

Annie: "Okay, but I refuse."

Lycorina: "So stingy!"

Although she now knows to keep her distance, her thinking is still very simple...

That's why sleeping with An Yi is so comfortable!

This is a first impression that's hard to change!

After shooing away Licorina, who had followed him there on her own, An Yilu returned to her room.

He stood in front of the table, staring blankly at the surface for a while, before finally lying down on the bed.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he sat up in bed.

The attack on the Goblin Empire will begin tonight. Although it's not a big deal, as an apprentice, shouldn't I report it to my master?
