Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!
Chapter 47 - 47 D18

47: D18.

Battle of attrition_2 47: D18.

Battle of attrition_2 “I wasn’t asking about the goblins, I was asking if you’ve seen any rabbits!”

Guard B flicked the green blood off the sword and said speechlessly.

“Both Miss Hero and I have been on the lookout, but we haven’t seen any creatures resembling rabbits,” Guard C shook his head.

The Hero also expressed the same disappointed opinion.

It was the first time she had fought in humanoid form for so long, her dress soaked with vile blood and sweat, clinging to her body and revealing her youthful curves.

She planted her longsword, stained with goblin blood, into the ground and adjusted her breathing.

Although this was her first time killing so many goblins head-on, and she couldn’t say it wasn’t thrilling, the main goal was still to obtain the gemstone to heal the little girl.

Even if there was no purple gemstone, a gemstone that could heal wounds or restore stamina would be significantly beneficial, which was the value that the Elf Rabbit inherently possessed.

Conversely, the only value goblins had while alive was to be killed, and once dead, they were rotten flesh worse than dung, lacking even the value of becoming fertilizer.

At the very least, the Hero wouldn’t want to eat vegetables grown from goblin compost; anything consumed must be cautiously scrutinized, as her dear friend often advised earnestly.

So let these green-skins rot among the fallen leaves, returning to the natural cycle.

“Well, no choice then, let’s prepare to face the second wave of magic creatures, and make haste.”

Without any trace of the Elf Rabbit, Guard A made no complaints, showing the resilience of a soldier.

[The Hero’s party obliterated the Goblin group, the Hero single-handedly slew the Big Goblin LV15.

The Hero received 15×30=450 experience points.

The team defeated the Goblin group LV5, and the Hero gained 65×25/2=813 experience points.]

The one-time-use magic potion’s effects were quite lasting, as its sweet aroma continued to waft around, mingling in a peculiar scent with the goblins’ nearby corpses and the forest’s natural air.

“Ugh…”

Gazing at the magic creatures attracted this time, the guards all sighed with repulsion.

“First goblins, now giant spiders, there’s nothing good in this forest, no wonder the Elf Rabbit refuses to show up,” not even Guard A’s earlier resilience could conceal his sigh.

Hiding behind the trees, the Hero peeked at the gigantic spider with its daunting size, unconsciously rubbing her arms as goosebumps appeared.

[Giant Spider R3]

As the name implies, it was an enormous spider.

Although not technically an insect, it often gets mistaken as one.

Overall, it’s a magic creature famed for its size.

It had no particularly special abilities, and its poison was mild, but it won by sheer numbers.

People caught by them usually didn’t meet the tragic fate typical of other spider-like magic creatures, like being wrapped in webs to be digested.

Because they typically shred their prey to pieces with massive jaw-like pincers right on the spot, the agony is brief.

Big meant strong, giant meant ferocious.

[Number of Giant Spiders (Magic potion effect 18)]

“…Seven of them, it’s a bit tricky.”

Confirming the number of giant spiders gathered at the dispersing magic potion location, and watching these ghastly creatures rubbing their mandibles to produce sharp dissonance, the three guards glanced worriedly at the Hero.

They weren’t worried for themselves, trusting in the sturdiness of their armor and shields; even facing twice as many spider creatures, they were confident of victory.

But the Hero, with no defense and wielding only a longsword, was a different story.

If caught by the giant spiders, her slender waist might get bitten straight through, leaving no time for rescue.

The Hero realized her vulnerability and bit her lip, feeling uneasy.

“Do we really need to destroy every incoming magic creature?” Guard C muttered.

“After all, it’s not the blood that attracts the Elf Rabbit, just the odd change.

Once it shows up, we take a shot and snatch the gemstone.”

“That is indeed a strategy…

But if we don’t clear the magic creatures first, is it even possible to have such an opportunity?” The Hero hesitated slightly.

For a moment, none of them could decide whether they should take the initiative.

[Perception of Giant Spiders (Outnumbered D2, Perception +34, 100+ Success)]

2d100+34=d100(74)+d100(24)+34=132

But clearly, all four of them underestimated these giant spiders’ sharpness.

Spiders were creatures highly sensitive to environmental changes, large-scale giant spiders possessed this same skill; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been drawn to the magic potion’s dispersion here.

Having sensed the presence of delicious nearby prey, the spiders scattered instantly, surrounding the Hero and the guards from behind the tree trunks.
