"Huh?" Victor raised an eyebrow when he saw Lilith stop and spotted a woman lying on the ground.

"She seems to have fallen unconscious due to blood loss," Amber said with a frown.

"Hey, wait, this could be a trap," Eleanor shouted when she saw Victor walking toward her.

"It’s fine," Victor said as he used his skill to scan the surroundings and found no other presence.

Victor brought out a healing potion and poured it on the unconscious woman’s body as the injuries on her body started healing rapidly.

"Huh, who the hell are you?" the woman, who had just woken up, had her eyes widened in shock and immediately launched an attack at him.

"Whoa! Calm down!" Victor subconsciously raised his hands to show that he was not a threat.

"STAY BACK!"

"Hey, lady, why are you attacking your benefactor? If he did not heal you, you would have bled to death," Amber walked forward and gave her the stink eye.

"Huh?" The lady looked at herself and saw that, indeed, the injuries that had covered her body were no longer there.

"I apologize, I just escaped from danger and thought you were trying to kill me," the young lady said as she bowed her head.

"It’s fine. So what happened to you?" Victor asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Wait, you people are willing to help me?" the young lady hurriedly said with teary eyes, as she was jolted awake by Victor’s words.

"Help?" Eleanor asked with a raised eyebrow; she could tell the girl was not lying, and she was naturally somewhat kind-hearted—if it was within her power, she would help.

"Yes, we were attacked by a new kind of monster that I have never seen or heard of in my entire life. I am a student of the royal academy and have studied everything about monsters, but still could not recognize those disgusting creatures," the girl said, causing everyone to frown.

"Can you describe how they looked?" Eleanor asked.

"Yes, yes, they were short and stood on two legs, green in color, and covered their lower body with rags while their upper torso was exposed..." The young lady said, and Victor’s eyebrows immediately twitched.

"Hey, don’t tell me you escaped from a cage and there are more captives like you," Victor asked with a deep frown.

"Huh, how did you know? Yes, there are many people in cages, and only the ones with good looks remain—the rest they killed. I also saw them forcing themselves on women and making them give birth to their race. I escaped by luck," the young lady said, shuddering as she looked back, as if they were still chasing her.

"Hmm, can you take me there?" Victor said, which made everyone look at him with wide eyes.

The young lady was especially terrified and looked at him with fearful eyes and shook her head repeatedly. "No, no way, I will never go back to that hellhole." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Then can you tell where the place is?" Victor asked.

"As long as I don’t have to go, take this," the young lady said as she handed him a map.

"Thanks," Victor said as he saw the young lady bolt from there toward the exit.

"Are you really going to go there? What if it’s a trap?" Eleanor asked with a frown, but Victor did not reply and kept walking, which caused her to click her tongue in annoyance.

"This should be the place," Victor mumbled as he stopped in front of a cave, his senses alert and his face darkened.

Amber and Eleanor also followed Victor into the cave, and what they saw inside made their faces darken.

"Fuck, I am going to puke," Amber said as her face turned green at the sight and she went to a corner and threw up.

"Heavens," Eleanor also exclaimed in a grim tone. She felt her stomach churn even though she was used to the smell of blood and intestines given her job.

As if they were cattle, bodies of men and women alike hung from hooks descending from the ceiling. Heads with protruding eyes and no noses or peeled lips, half-eaten limbs, internal organs, layers of skin... The sight was at least 1000 times worse than the smell of rotting flesh.

There were young women, adult women, old people, small children, and even fetuses that appeared to have been taken from their mothers’ wombs before birth.

"Kuh, human beauties." Victor’s eyes snapped toward some short green creatures as he used his pupil technique on them.

"As expected, goblins..." Victor furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the information on his screen. According to his memories, goblins should not have appeared this early, as they only appeared after the world underwent evolution.

Suddenly a thought popped into his mind as he felt a chill run down his spine ’Could it be that this is a butterfly effect due to my arrival?’

If what Victor was thinking was true, then he needed to quickly start upgrading his troops.

"What kind of creatures are these? I have never seen them," Eleanor exclaimed.

"These are called goblins. They are very lustful creatures and have the same taste as humans. They especially like to torture and abuse beautiful humans," Victor said with a grim tone as he pointed at the corpses of some females.

The thick yellowish liquid stuck to the naked bodies of some women showed they had been assaulted by who knows how many goblins for who knows how long, and given that the goblins’ sense of beauty was no different from that of humans, it was not hard to assume that all five women had once been beauties in their own right.

"These fuckers," Amber growled as she noticed they were looking at her with the same lustful gaze.

Eleanor looked at Victor and asked with a raised eyebrow, "How do you know about them? I don’t think there is any record of these monsters."
