"G-Guruika… Gurik K-Kanika…"

Once all the women and children Hobgoblins saw the corpses of their men, they bowed and pleaded with the annihilator to spare their lives.

They already knew they could not win.

As they trembled in fear, the one who had caused such destruction gazed upon them with benevolence.

'Of course, I'm not going to kill them!' Rey thought to himself.

If he did that, how was he any different from a mindless monster?

'Even Hobgoblins have enough sense to spare their enemies and domesticate them. How can I display any lesser level of intelligence?'

Right now, Rey already had a training spot in the Sixth Floor.

He only descended to the Seventh for some EXP, and also to test out his Skills.

'And I think I've been able to make sufficient progress for now.'

Killing off the rest of the Hobgoblins would be a waste.

'Instead, I should leave them here so they can just repopulate and produce more adults for me to kill later on.'

Hobgoblin Adults gave more EXP, so the only ones worth killing at all were the women.

But women were necessary for producing more Hobgoblins, so eliminating them would be foolish on his part.

'Hobgoblins have a very fast birth rate, and they also grow pretty quickly.'

Within a month, he would be able to see tons more adult Hobgoblins.

'The only reason there aren't any more Hobs present is because a lot of these kids die pretty early thanks to disease, and even the most healthy Hobgoblin adult doesn't live past a year.'

Rey couldn't do anything about the latter, since it was simply the biology of Goblins. They had an extremely short lifespan.

However, he knew precisely where to start from when it came to the disease aspect.

'For one… good hygiene.'

He looked at the pile of feces and cringed once more.

'I'll have to burn all of that and teach them how to do the same.'

All they had to do was gather the feces to a secluded area and burn them.

Perhaps also teaching them how to burn their meat before eating it would also help.
