Ash's new strategy proved to be immediately effective. In choosing to allow the soldiers around her to fight for themselves, only interfering when she saw the opportunity to land a killing blow, Ash gained an abundance of EXP.
"H-HELP ME!" A soldier cried out as he was about to be slain, just before Ash rushed in behind the demon attacking him, and stabbed through its back with her right hand.
EXP Gained: 120
EXP: 120/540
I'm getting a lot less now, even with Quick Learner. I need stronger enemies, Ash thought as the demon fell to the floor. The soldier she'd saved looked up at her like he was seeing a god in person. Ash pulled him up to his feet.
"I didn't help you so you could sit there like an idiot, keep fighting!" She told him.
And, as she pushed him towards a nearby enemy, he did just that, maybe out of instinct.
