After all, no one can ignore the presence of an unfamiliar voice in their head.
But Elsa's performance...
"Miss Elsa, can't you hear the voice of God?"
"Try asking yourself something, like, how do I open the backpack," Annie said.
"Let me try."
Elsa nodded, then closed her eyes and tried to do it.
An Yi wanted to tell her that she didn't actually need to close her eyes; she could just ask the question in her mind.
But if she thinks this will help her concentrate, then let her do it.
After closing her eyes and remaining silent for a while, Elsa opened them and shook her head.
"No."
"Did you really do it the way I told you to?" Annie asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I did as I was told," Elsa replied honestly.
An Yi lowered her head and pondered again.
Elsa just has a slightly lower intelligence stat, not an intellectual disability. Annie thought there shouldn't be anything wrong with what she said.
Perhaps not wanting to disappoint An Yi's teachings, Elsa closed her eyes again, wanting to try a few more times while An Yi was thinking.
When she opened her eyes again, An Yi asked again;
"Did you hear that sound?"
"No."
Elsa shook her head again.
“Strange…” An Yi couldn’t figure it out either.
But then again, the [Hero of Slaughter] is different from ordinary heroes, so perhaps the way the system is used is also different?
Come to think of it, at this point in my previous life, the [Hero of Slaughter] should still be wandering in the territory of the Demon Clan.
In this life, because the Hero Alliance appeared earlier, the heroes were able to explore the forest more deeply and discover her in the demon territory.
If it were her past life, she wouldn't have these current troubles.
Because she moves through the demon realm, she has to sweep away large numbers of demons almost every day to quickly level up and improve her attributes.
Aside from killing a large number of demons in recent battles, she has spent most of her time in human territory and hasn't killed any demons at all.
Therefore, it can be said with certainty that compared to the An Yi who knew her in her previous life, the An Yi at this point in time in this life...
Could it be described as developmental delay?
Of course, compared to all the heroes at this stage, her level and strength are still very high.
What An Yi didn't know was that although her system was slightly different from others, it could still be used normally.
The reason Elsa didn't hear the voice of "God" was simply because she didn't have that concept in her mind.
Just like other heroes, when they talk about asking "gods" questions, they have a general idea of who to ask.
Elsa, however, had no idea what it was.
Even asking a question in one's mind is just talking to oneself.
Ask God questions, but have no God in your heart.
If the system responded to just talking to itself in one's head, then every hero's head would be filled with noise.
"If the system can't be used properly, the weapons..."
We can't change it now.
"If you can't open the backpack, how did you get the slime sword out?" Anyi tried to find another angle to solve the problem.
"Take it out...? Just like that." Elsa let the slime sword emerge from her sleeve.
"...Where do you usually store them?" An Yi continued to ask.
Elsa sheathed the slime sword in her sleeve: "Here it is."
"We can't let it disappear... Never mind, it would be troublesome if we couldn't get it out." An Yi didn't continue.
Since she can't use the system properly, it's likely that she doesn't usually retrieve the slime sword.
If Elsa decides to put the slime sword back in her bag on a whim, and then she can't get the weapon out, that would be troublesome.
An Yi didn't continue speaking, but silently pondered how to get her a suitable melee weapon.
When speeds are similar, close combat is the best way to bridge the gap, especially when there is a significant difference in skill between the two sides.
Elsa's attributes are on par with her level, and her [Skill] is very high, which means she can quickly learn to use her body to fight.
In this way, her high strength attribute can also play a greater role, and she no longer needs to be limited to using the slime sword for ranged combat.
"Human weapons can't withstand her strength; only dwarves can forge weapons for heroes, but the main storyline in the dwarven kingdom isn't progressing that far... Should we borrow my master's sword?"
If there's any weapon that can support Elsa's level of performance at this stage, and is the easiest to obtain, it's the sword used by Elaef.
"But they'll probably disagree."
An Yi had known Irene for a long time, and she treasured her sword.
Those were things she brought from the Elf Kingdom, things that had been with her for thousands of years; how could she just lend them out like that?
"Um... if there's nothing else, I'll head back now?" Milu tugged at An Yi's clothes from behind.
An Yi glanced back at her, then suddenly remembered something: "Right, Venom Light Armor."
Miluko: "Huh?"
An Yi looked back at Elsa: "What do you think about covering your body with a slime sword to enhance your melee abilities?"
Elsa: "Hmm...? Covering the body?"
She knew what it meant, but she didn't know exactly how to do it.
A flash of white light, and the Slime Sword appeared in An's hand, then turned into the same red color as Elsa's Slime Sword.
An Yi had a thought, and the slime sword immediately and quickly covered his arm, then his shoulder, covering his other hand as well.
He spread out seven arms, and slime extended from the tip of one finger, transforming into long, claw-like fingers; the other hand did the same.
"Oh...!" Elsa's eyes widened in surprise.
So this is how you can use a slime sword!
No wonder he was the master who taught her to use the slime sword!
“Because it’s slime, it can be transformed into various shapes for use,” An’i said, transforming the slime sword in her hand into a pair of red swords.
However, his slime sword is not very effective at killing enemies because it is a secondary weapon and therefore has difficulty penetrating their bodies.
But... Elsa's slime sword seems a little different.
Chapter 44 The Hero Who Slays, Unleashing His Full Power
Given a choice, it is naturally more suitable to choose a sharp weapon to deal with the highly resilient demon race.
But now there's no other choice but to continue using the slime sword.
Unlike An'i's slime sword, Elsa's slime sword can both slash and stab. Although it doesn't reach the strength of a sharp weapon, if used as a melee weapon, it would definitely be more threatening than a ranged weapon.
Anyi then transformed the slime swords in her hands into dual blades: "You should be able to do it too, give it a try."
“Okay.” Elsa nodded; she had been eager to try it for a long time.
Following An Yi's example, she easily covered her hands with slime.
After nearly six months of using the slime sword, she had unconsciously come to regard it as part of her body.
When asked how she manipulated it, she said she didn't understand and didn't know how to explain it.
It's like randomly asking a passerby how they raise their hand; they can only raise their hand, but can't explain how the muscles inside work.
Even when defending against level eight, the slime sword on her body would automatically cover the parts that needed to be defended. …∩〈“
It's like something is about to fall into your eye, and your eyelids automatically close.
In short, using the slime sword has become a habitual instinct.
Therefore, turning a slime sword into the weapon you want is actually not difficult.
Elsa imitated the shape that An's slime sword had transformed into, first making claws that extended outward from her fingertips.
Then it became two swords, and finally two blades.
An Yi offered a word of advice: "You don't have to copy me exactly; just make the weapons you like."
“I like swords,” Elsa said immediately.
Because it is the weapon used by the [Sword Hero].
“Really? Then I’ll teach you how to use a sword,” Annie said.
He was also curious about how well the [Hero of Slaughter] adapted to martial arts.
Each hero has a different level of adaptability to different weapons. For example, An Yi can quickly master any weapon classified as a "sword".
This classification is a system classification, not something that can be used as a "sword" simply because "I think this thing is a sword".
Even if it looks like a sword, but the system categorizes it as a "knife," it is still not a sword.
However, the adaptability of [sword skills] and [sword] are two separate concepts.
【Sword skills】are 【martial arts skills】, which are skills that can be learned and practiced.
An Yi is a "Sword Hero," so she is highly adaptable to swordsmanship and can learn it immediately.
Other heroes can also learn it, but their adaptability won't be as high as An'i's, and it will definitely take them longer to learn it than An'i.
Similarly, the Sword Hero learns swordsmanship very quickly, while An Yi might not be able to learn sword-related martial arts techniques after watching only one episode.
So... what martial arts skills will the [Hero of Slaughter] be suited for?
Or perhaps it simply lacks adaptability.
