The Path to Becoming The Worst Villainess

"W-What the hell just happened!?"

"Hm? What? They are nothing but a burden for humans."

"... How much did she kill!?"

Just 5 minutes ago, they heard cries for help while going to Priya City. Ahko originally didn't want to help whoever is calling for help but Layla insisted her to help whoever is calling for help, Ahko still didn't want to do so but then Layla said they could gain some money from helping the poor man.

Hearing that, Ahko disappears from Layla's sight. She thought Ahko was too annoyed by her and so she goes passing by the helpless man. She rushed to the cries of help a little angry but when she reached the location, what she sees is lots and lots of blood covering the entire area. Headless bodies lying on the ground, she couldn't even count how many dead bodies are in the area since some have been piled up with one another.

In the middle of the bloody area, there's a merchant's wagon, also almost fully covered by blood except for the top. Ahko stepped out of the wagon with at least 3 bandit's heads going out of it. It was a massacre.

"Job done."

"A... A-Ah... W-What the hell just happened!?"

"Hm? What? They are nothing but a burden for humans."

"H-How the hell did you kill them so fast!?"

"I didn't kill them that fast, you are just slow."

"T-The fuck you mean I'm slow!?"

"You are."

"Tch... How much did you kill...?"

"Mmm... 15." Ahko says casually.

"15..? A-Are there more...?"

"I can't sense anyone's presence except you and the merchant."

"W-Where's the merchant?" Layla asked

"Resting on that tree, he's unconscious though." Ahko pointed to an old-looking man resting on the tree.

"Did he faint on his own or did you knock him out."

"He fainted after he saw the bandit's heads rolling to the ground."

"So it's you."

"Indirectly but yes."

Layla looks at her in disgust, fear, and impressed. She looks at Ahko up and down trying to see the blood that have attached to Ahko's clothing, but her clothes look relatively clean it's like she has never massacred an entire bandit group.

"How come your clothes are clean after you killed so many bandits?"

"I just dodged the blood while killing them, except for my shoes."

"How the hell- W-Whatever, I'm taking care of this man."

"Alright."

"I managed to get one of them to talk to the whereabouts of their base. It isn't that far from here, seems like this place is often getting robbed by these cowards. I'm going there."

Ahko appeared near Layla and the unconscious old man, Layla was a little shocked but managed to compose herself, unlike last time.

"I'm going somewhere, don't expect me to come back until night."

"... What are you gonna do?"

"Business... I'll meet you outside the gates."

"... Alright..."

The Trica Forest is one giant forest covering almost all of the path from Priya City to the next 2 major cities for adventurers and merchants. Utrin City which goes above north up to Yrlen Kingdom and Dryne City which goes to the south up to Simia Kingdom. Each of these paths is very popular not only for adventurers and merchants but also for bandits living inside The Trica Forest around it. Some to kidnap adventurers or slaves for themselves or sell as slaves in the black market, some to steal goods, and some to kill a person or people they were hired for.

The goblin dungeon was only a small one compared to the multiple dungeons even more powerful. It's fortunate for adventurers and Ahko that the goblin dungeon appeared on an empty field inside the forest, unlike some dungeons.

The path, also known as The Centric Path is not very easy to defend due to the high density of the forest, and even if the 3 cities band together to defend the path from bandits, another problem arises. The bandits are simply too powerful, rumor has it that the bandit leader is S or SS rank. Nobody above B rank going to guard a long path.

The path where the merchant gets robbed is only a couple of kilometers/miles away from Priya City, they aren't even 1/4 way to the splitting path.

Ahko is currently sprinting to one of the 8 bandit bases, closing in 100 km... 95 km... 90 km... then she stopped, she look what's in front of her and it turns out it's one of the many outposts.

"Not quite there yet, but I can get some exp from this."

There are roughly 7 tents inside an area surrounded by fences. It looks like this outpost has only been created not too long ago. Bandits can be seen patrolling, talking, eating, and delivering goods.

"Hmm... I've sensed only a few are currently patrolling, seems like it's a lunch break for them. Lucky me."

Ahko pulled out her dagger and slaughtered everyone to nothing but headless bodies. Heads and bodies dropped onto the ground, blood splattered everywhere.

"Huh? What the hell is the commotion outsi-"

Another head fallen to the ground when an unlucky bandit pops out his head to see what's going on outside. For everyone inside the tents, they can't really see that much outside the tents but what they do know is the smell of blood coming inside the tents

"We're under attack!!" A bandit that is inside the tent, sees one of his comrade's head roll to the ground and his body falls with it, yells.

"Under attack!?" A bandit bravely goes outside to prepare fight, but not 2 seconds later, his head has separated from his neck.

"D-Don't come out! It's dangerous!" The bandit that is inside the tent yelled in fear.

But most bandits in the tents carelessly go outside to join their comrades in battle but it turns out they join their comrades in hell. Within seconds, all of them have lost their heads.

"Fucking retards!" The bandit screams in frustration.

"You are dead." Ahko appeared in front of him.

"AAA-"

Slash

Thud

"Thank you for making this easier for me."

"I don't look like a lot, and I don't think I'll use any archery skills. System, is it possible to... delete or sell skills?"

"User can sell skills or abilities. Which skills does user want to sell?"

"Archery and snipe."

"User will receive 10000 Shop coins."

"Accept."

DING!

User has sold 2 skills:

For 10000 Shop Coins!

"System, is the shop still the same?"

"It is still the same."

"Okay... Is it possible to upgrade my abilities or stats?"

"User can see the upgrade and how much will it cost when user clicks on one of the abilities, spells, and passive abilities that user wanted, but user can train to upgrade them if user doesn't want to waste shop coins. For stats, every 1 upgrade costs 1000 Shop Coins, once the stats have reached 50 it will cost 5000 Shop Coins for 1 upgrade."

Ahko is rather shocked seeing the stats upgrade being 1000 Shop Coins every 1 stat, that's 1000 silver coins for 1 stat that may only gonna see the difference if she upgrades it at least 10 times, but since it's very easy to farm shop coins for now she'll take it.

"Hopefully this is worth it. Alright, let's go."

Ahko disappears from the bloody site but when she's on her way to the base, she keeps bumping into branches since she's going so fast. She has to slow down for a bit to adjust her body and her mind then slowly goes up the speed.
