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

In addition to figuring out the demons' fighting style through numerous battles, she also gained a more refined way of using her own power.

She initially fought with all her might, but later she discovered that she didn't actually need to exert so much effort to kill her enemies.

So, they began to explore fighting methods that conserved "power" as much as possible.

For example, in combat, if you can retreat one step, you should never retreat two steps; if you can dodge, you should never take a direct hit.

The amount of "power" needed to kill a demon must be precisely controlled; if one-tenth of the "power" can be used, then one-and-a-half should not be used.

The exact amount of "power" required to kill a demon can only be determined through repeated kills.

The goal is to kill the enemy as quickly as possible while conserving stamina to the greatest extent possible, so that you can accumulate more combat experience against the same type of demon in the same battle.

That night, after replenishing her strength at the local heroes' alliance's victory celebration, Elsa prepared to head to the next location to defeat the demons.

"Are there any other places around here where the Red Demon Wolves appear?" Elsa asked the followers of the Hero Alliance.

It was a wolf-like demon race with red fur all over its body and black flesh and bones, named the "Red Demon Wolf".

"Please wait a moment, Hero of Slaughter, let me take a look..."

Have!

Are you planning to continue your campaign against the Red Demon Wolf Pack?

"Let me arrange a carriage for your trip. When do you plan to leave?" the believer asked respectfully.

Elsa: "Now."

"Now? Okay... wait! Slayer Hero, our victory celebration isn't over yet!"

"How about this, I'll arrange a carriage for you tomorrow morning. You can rest well tonight and stay overnight, is that alright?" the believer asked hurriedly.

“No, I’m leaving now. I can rest in the carriage,” Elsa said calmly.

She knew that the path she had chosen would involve countless battles, and even during rest, she shouldn't waste time that could have been used to travel.

because……

She'll most likely get lost if she doesn't take a carriage.

Running on foot is fast, but going in the wrong direction will only waste more time; it's better to take a carriage.

Staying overnight would be a waste of a night and would not help with one's itinerary at all.

Normally, she would rest in the city during pre-battle preparations, but now that the campaign is over, there's no need to stay, much less waste time.

"Okay! I'll arrange it for you right away! Please wait a moment!"

The believers had no reason to force Elsa to stay; they simply suggested she get some rest for the night.

After all, she was the greatest contributor in this campaign, and the believers wanted to treat her well.

Elsa insisted on leaving, so there was nothing that could be done but make arrangements.

Although it's not late at night, it's already quite late, and there are no more horse-drawn carriages available at this hour.

In most parts of this world, the construction of transportation infrastructure is not very good, and there are no streetlights all over the roads.

At night, horse-drawn carriages for normal civilian use do not travel.

Most heroes have a movement speed faster than a carriage, so a carriage is completely useless to them.

Therefore, the Hero Alliance had long ago stopped using carriages extensively, saving money and effort.

If a brave person wants to use a carriage, they usually "carpool" with other people traveling together.

Of course... the probability of such an "if" is very small, and the hero taking the carriage would simply be a waste of time.

In other words, there are no horse-drawn carriages available for travel at present.

However, this is not difficult to solve; you can simply rent a car at the post station, and leave the driving to a believer who knows the way or hire a driver.

The believer told Elsa to wait a moment because he also needed time to go to the stagecoach to rent a carriage.

We arrived at the post station at the entrance of the town, and even before we reached it, we could see that the direction of the post station was unusually bright in the distance.

Normally, only two small oil lamps are lit here at night, making it very dim.

What happened tonight?

Filled with doubt, the believer hurried over.

Soon, he saw a group of people on horseback carrying torches and weapons in front of the post station, who looked like some kind of guard.

The torchlight illuminated the street and also lit up the magnificent white carriage that surrounded the guard.

The caravan stopped at the entrance of the post station, and one of the men dismounted and spoke to the post station staff.

The crowd noticed the believer dressed in white and turned their attention to him.

The believer nodded slightly and quickly walked to the front of the post station.

"Excuse me for interrupting your conversation, but I would like to rent a horse and a carriage," the believer said, glancing at the carriage beside him out of the corner of his eye.

Because he not only interrupted the two people in front of him, but also interrupted the carriage owner's business.

"Rent a carriage? For the hero?"

Suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from inside the carriage.

The believer's shoulders suddenly trembled, then he nodded: "...Yes."

After answering, he shook his head, feeling somewhat dazed.

"Perfect, shall we have that hero ride with me?"

The car window rolled down, and a very beautiful woman leaned out, smiling as she spoke to the believer.

The moment the believer saw the other person's face, his mind went blank.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "Okay."

I didn't ask about their destination or their background.

The believer smiled foolishly and agreed.

Chapter 143 Undercurrents (4k)

"Hero of Slaughter! Excellent! There just happens to be a noble lady willing to give you a ride!"

Although our destinations are different, our directions are the same.

"Hero of Slaughter, have you decided to travel with them, or will you rent a carriage again?" The believer asked Elsa with a smile as he entered excitedly from the doorway.

"Is there any difference?" Elsa asked.

"If you travel with them, you can ride in a better carriage. They also have a guard to scout and illuminate the way, so you can move faster."

The rented carriages are relatively simple, and we can send people to accompany us and clear the way, but they might not be as skilled as a professional escort team.” The believer explained the difference to Elsa.

Elsa hesitated for a moment.

It wasn't the first time she'd shared a carriage with someone, and she wasn't worried about whether it would bother them.

She was worried...

If I ride with someone else, will I scare their horse?

Every time she arrived in a new town and approached the post station, it would cause the station to temporarily malfunction.

Elsa's murderous aura could terrify even a human, let alone a herd of grazing cattle and horses.

The Brave Alliance also has a solution to this.

That is [purification].

While not every support-type hero possesses the [Purify] skill, most have skills capable of reducing or nullifying negative status effects.

By simply asking some of the heroes to use similar skills on those animals, Elsa's influence can be reduced or neutralized.

The problem is...

It can only be used when a negative state exists.

Of course, there are also skills that can increase resistance to negative status effects, but most heroes at this stage have not yet obtained them.

If the cattle and horses are rented, there's more to it because there's no third party involved, and there's plenty of time.

If you ride together, and you get too close and scare the other people's horses, it will take time for other brave people to help, and the frightened oxen and horses will need time to recover. Won't that affect other people's journey?

“I might frighten the horses of the wagon and cause trouble for others, so let’s forget it,” Elsa said calmly.

She also longed to ride in a comfortable, high-class carriage, but she wasn't that pampered.

"Well... alright, I'll inform that lady."

The believer did not insist, but nodded in agreement and then turned to leave.

Elsa watched the believer disappear from her sight, then slowly fade from her perception, until she could no longer sense him at all.

She didn't really understand what "perception" was; it was just a strange feeling.

This feeling is very clear, no less so than the feedback obtained through sight and hearing.

At first, she couldn't control this feeling.

However, as her attributes increased, the range she could perceive became much farther.

It felt like my arms had grown longer.

It's like growing from a child into an adult; what was once unattainable is now within reach.

However, this does not mean that adults cannot squat down to reach a height where children can see them.

Whether you squat, bend over, or lie down, it can be varied.

It's like reaching out your hand, then pulling it back, or even putting it behind your back.

Since this "feeling" can go far away, why can't it be brought back?

So, Elsa tried to "take back" her senses.

Similar to sleeping in a spread-eagle or curled-up position on the bed, except that the hands and feet haven't been trained and are a bit unruly.

After a period of training, she has been able to limit the range of the field to a certain extent.

Even though she herself didn't know what it was, she had already made the domain controllable.
