If I kill them all, I can protect my sister

rustling.....

Annie finished picking the medicine and raised her head to look at the sky. Looking at the sky through the forest, she felt a little unsafe."

"Anyi! It's already this late! We should go home," she shouted towards Anyi, who wasn't far away.

"Good" Anyi nodded, glancing around with one eye.

rustling.....

"Wait!" Annie suddenly thought of something, furrowing her eyebrows and looking around. "Anyi, did you hear any sound?"

"I hear the sound of sisters" Anyi said enigmatically.

"No! I said... Surrounding sounds!" Annie closed her eyes, listening for any sounds.

rustling.....

"Did you hear that? It's this sound!" Annie's eyes flew open with excitement as she spoke excitedly to Anyi.

At this moment, she finally realized the strange feeling.

'Look at the leaves above - you can tell there is no wind right now.'

"Why is there the sound of grass rubbing when there is no wind?!" Annie suddenly felt a sense of fear, wondering what was causing the sound.

"Anyi, it wouldn't be just one monster... would it?!" Annie's eyes flashed with fear. She clung to Anyi's sleeve, alert to her surroundings and increasingly worried about what she might find.

"Dad often says the jungle is extremely dangerous at night, with cannibal monsters lurking around. If we encounter such a monster, what should we do? Won't we all be eaten??"

"That won't happen." Anyi shook his head.

"There aren't many monsters that eat humans," Anyi said, explaining to Annie that regular humans without mana usually aren't of interest to such creatures."

"So that's it? I never knew that," Annie said with surprise, having just learned the new information that normal humans are not monsters' ideal prey.

"But...?" Anyi's eyes shifted, staring at the eyes hidden in the dim forest, as if he was warning them: "I see you there."

"We might encounter something worse than normal monsters," Anyi said. "Ah...?"Annie was immediately stunned.

"It seems they heard our conversation, they're no longer hiding" Anyi said as he became exciting "Now the enemy intends to reveal themselves."

"Hi hi hi he he --"

" Cack cac cac --!!"

"Chit chit heh heh heh heheh!!"

All around, ugly monsters with stupid and evil smiles stepped out from the shadows, their hideous and inhuman appearance filling the air with dread and fear.

Their green skin was stretched over large heads and disproportionate bodies, their sharp ears and protruding eyes making the sight even more disgusting. Saliva dripped from their long fangs, creating a nauseous sight.

Their body was not tall, but their figure was strong and sturdy, their short and thick arms packed with clear muscles. Their whole body exuded a dangerous aura, causing a sense of threat and fear.

"Anyi?!," Annie cried out in fear, her face filled with panic as she suddenly spotted the monsters. "What are they?!" Her voice trembled as she grabbed Anyi's arm and huddled close, seeking protection from the unknown threat.

"Class 1 monster, Goblin" Anyi spoke calmly, placing his hand on his sword. His expression showed no fear or concern, as if he knew exactly how to handle the situation.

'Finally... Today has arrived....'

----------

Anyi's vision instantly shifted. The world around him seemed to wobble a little, as if time had been rewound and he were back in a day from a past life.

Same location, same time, same two people.

"Just a group of Goblins, not my opponents," Anyi said, standing firmly in front of Annie to protect her. His voice was calm, yet he exuded a sense of determination as he faced the enemy.

However, because of the "Rules of this World", as soon as Anyi took out his sword without the necessary "Authority", he almost fell to the ground and fainted.

Amid Goblin's taunts and Annie's worries, he acted like an idiot who couldn't find the direction, holding his head.

Annie didn't hesitate, pulling him up from the ground and pulling him out of the surrounding Goblins, but she didn't expect that Goblins would intentionally let them go. She didn't know it at the time, but the Goblins intentionally let her and Anyi go so they could begin their specialized "cat and mouse game"....

---------

Back to Present

Anyi raised his eyes and looked at the darkening sky, remembering the previous sunset from "that day", when the horizon was also stained in red...

Annie fell down, her unfamiliar clothes catching sand and mud, her wound now stained in red...

...

"Anyi..... You ran faster than me. I stayed here to attract the attention of the monsters." Annie said, making sure Anyi makes it to safety. "You must quickly return to the village and tell the adults there are monsters here."

"These monsters have not attacked yet, so they have no intention of killing us right now. If we go back and call the adults to save us, we will definitely make it in time."

"...Those were the last words Annie spoke before she left this world...." Anyi remembered his sister's words with sadness, even in a completely different life, they remained with him.

She died. Killed in a very shameful way.

....

'But in this life, I will not allow such a thing to happen again' Anyi vowed, determined to protect Annie.

He wants to kill them all, the monsters that murdered Annie in his previous life! These monsters will pay the ultimate price for taking her away from him.

"What to do now...," Annie looked serious as anxiety filled her mind. The large number of Goblins seemed unmanageable, as sweat flowed down the side of her face.

It was the first time she had seen monsters. The pounding heart and the slight trembling of her legs were a stark reminder of an extreme fear that she hadn't felt before. Annie felt like a child in a world of danger.

"I must stay calm," Annie told herself, fighting back her fear. "It is necessary... Think of a new solution."

'Let Anyi go fight...?'

'No!'

'Anyi is only one person, he can't take on a group of monsters!' Annie thought, worry filling her mind. 'He must tell the adults in the village'

"Anyi" Annie's eyes filled with fear as she loosened her grip on Anyi's arm and took a step forward, blocking the Goblins in front of him."You run faster than me, so I will draw away their attention. You take the opportunity to escape and return to the village to alert the adults about the monsters here!" As she spoke, her shoulders couldn't help but tremble.

Annie knew that staying here would lead to certain death, but with her younger brother looking up to her, she didn't allow any weaknesses to show through.

Anyi placed a warm and supportive hand on Annie's shoulder, soothing the frightened Annie somewhat.

"No need to be afraid, sister," Anyi said in a low, reassuring tone. "Goblins have a tendency to toy with their prey, so they won't immediately kill us. They take pleasure in seeing their victims look frightened and making fun of them." Anyi slightly turned his head as she whispered to Annie.

"Why do you know with such certainty?" Annie wondered aloud, but as soon as she posed the question, she got even more scared. "But if that's the case, aren't we in even greater danger?"

Being aware of that information, what else can you do? Nonetheless, when she looked up at Anyi again, she found that he still had that calm, unruffled demeanor.

There's no sign of fear, panic, seriousness, or even surprise. Everything remains the same as before, as if nothing else matters.

In some ways, her desperate situation seemed like it wasn't really a big deal to him at all. For some reason, that made Annie feel a little bit relaxed.

"So what should we do...?" Her voice was slowly fading away.

Anyi said "They're coming forward first, and it's actually good news for us. Because they have intriguing prey for their games, they may decide to surround us. It can also be attributed to their wicked ways that they won't ambush us without warning."

"No, if it happens that way, I won't be able to save you," Anyi muttered as her voice grew softer.

"Huh?" Annie was shocked by this. Upon turning a quick eye to the Goblins surrounding them, she asked in a startled voice, "Is there really a way for you to save us from this situation?!"

"Very simple indeed" Anyi said with an air of confidence. "I will kill all the monsters here. Only then, I'll be able to keep you safe." He made it sound like a walk in the park.
