[Goblin Slayer World]
"What a great title!"
Goblin Slayer nodded in satisfaction. The title fit them perfectly.
"Mr. Goblin Slayer, I sense you're quite pleased today!"
The Lizard Priest savored the cheese contentedly. This was his lifeblood, his daily reward after slaughtering goblins!
"Yeah..."
Goblin Slayer was momentarily dazed. So he had been in a good mood...
"Hahaha, Orcbolg, after dealing with the goblins, let's go on adventures elsewhere!"
The Elf Girl, taking advantage of her tipsy state, tried to coax him again...
"That might not be a bad idea either..."
Goblin Slayer nodded. If he could finish off all the goblins...
But that was impossible...
Because these filthy little devils were endless...
But an occasional adventure did sound good...
[That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime World]
In the Great Jura Forest, the goblins were more vigilant than ever, guarding their village heavily.
Because of the light screen, goblins had now become the primary targets for human crusades.
Many humans who knew of a goblin village in the Jura Forest had already invaded...
Goblin 1: "Do you think humans will invade the forest again today?"
Goblin 2: "Probably not. After all, the goblins defeated an adventurer team earlier!"
In the past few days, more and more human adventurers had been calling themselves "Goblin Slayers."
But after getting beaten up, they never returned...
In the forest's darkness, the demon wearing a clown mask shook his head in displeasure. His plan had been ruined so quickly...
"I didn't expect humans to be so cowardly they can't even defeat goblins!"
"It seems we need to think of other methods..."
[Grimgar World]
"Goblin Slayer?! Call me the Ranta Knight!"
Ranta was extremely dissatisfied with the title, even though it was accurate!
"Calm down, Ranta... this title isn't bad either..."
Haruhiro tried to console him. Getting a title was already everyone's recognition of them!
"I think it's good too!"
Moguzo chimed in immediately. Their teamwork was becoming more seamless, and they would soon be able to avenge Manato!
"Hmph!"
"Remember! I am the Dark Knight!"
Haruhiro shook his head helplessly. Still, it was great they could get along with Merry now.
He wondered what she truly thought of them...
[Screen Continues]
[The Goblin Slayer team gathered at the location of the previous ambush...]
[Today, they sought vengeance for Manato!]
["Say something... Haruhiro..."]
[Ranta spread his hands, trying to lighten the mood. After all, he was the captain now!]
[Haruhiro was stunned, glanced at everyone, and softly asked, "Did everyone sleep well last night?"]
[No one expected him to say that. The atmosphere instantly relaxed considerably...]
["Let's fight!"]
["This time, we will definitely make it back alive!"]
[They firmly believed this!]
[Screen Continues]
Blue Goblin: "These humans dare to come for me again! They're just seeking death!"
Giant Goblin: "Moguzo is my prey!"
Dwarf Goblin: "This situation... we're doomed!"
They weren't all fools. Judging by the pattern of the light screen's revelations, they were probably done for!
For a moment, panic spread among the goblins in the ruins...
Giant Goblin: "Don't worry! As long as I'm here, these humans are just trash!"
In such a short time, they couldn't have become that much stronger!
Even if the priest was a cautious human this time, their wisdom was no less than that of humans!
As long as they were prepared, no matter how much these humans improved, they would still not return alive!
[On Screen]
[The goblin on the high platform aimed at his companion, feigned a shot, and let out a 'geigeigei' laugh...]
[Inside a room, dwarf goblins played cards, while the giant goblin snored loudly in its sleep...]
[In the attic, the blue goblin was playing chess with another goblin holding Haruhiro's dagger!]
[They had no sense of tension whatsoever...]
[Screen Continues]
Countless people were dumbfounded. It was the first time they'd seen such leisurely goblins...
They were practically imitating humans!
Kazuma: "Why are goblins playing cards?!"
Sora: "How can they play such a difficult game? These goblins can't be called weak at all!"
Goblin Slayer: "I fear these goblins' habits are already nearly identical to humans'..."
The intelligence of the goblins in this world once again refreshed everyone's understanding...
No wonder Haruhiro and the others struggled so much...
These monsters were harder to deal with than ogres!
[On Screen]
[Mary aimed at the goblin on the high platform and shot an arrow through its throat. It didn't even have time to scream before plummeting down...]
Thud...
[The sound attracted another patrolling goblin. But as it turned its head...]
[Haruhiro dashed over swiftly and delivered a powerful backstab to the goblin's waist!]
["Gyaaaaaaaah!!!!!!"]
[Its piercing shriek alerted the goblins in the ruins...]
[Screen Continues]
Patrolling Goblin: "Dammit! Can't this human stab somewhere else?!"
Goblin Slayer: "The stab location is slightly off; it should be the heart..."
The power of this backstab was a bit lacking...
And that cry must have alerted the other goblins. Once they gathered, it would be tough to handle!
[On Screen]
[The injured goblin endured the pain, turned, and swung its sword, but Haruhiro easily dodged...]
[Ranta charged forward and instantly slit its throat!]
[After dispatching it, the group quickly cleared the first floor. Finding no stragglers, they headed upstairs, only to encounter two goblins descending the stairs...]
[Moguzo's robust form stood at the front. His horizontal sword slash sent one goblin flying backward with immense force!]
[Shihoru fired a magic bullet to impair its nerves, and Ranta finished it with a follow-up slash!]
["Up! Push through in one go!"]
[As soon as they reached the stairs, several arrows flew toward them...]
[The giant goblin charged over, brandishing a wooden club and roaring. How dare these humans disturb its sleep!]
[It would smash their skulls!]
["ROAR!!"]
[Moguzo stood before it, as small as an infant compared to its size. He was struck against the wall with a single blow but fortunately sustained no serious injuries...]
[Ranta engaged two dwarf goblins simultaneously!]
Swoosh—
[Mary's arrow struck the blue goblin squarely in the waist...]
[Screen Continues]
Goblin: "The humans in this world are so underhanded!"
Blue Goblin: "Why the hell do these people keep aiming for the waist?!"
Fortunately, the arrow wasn't deep, and its physique was beyond human comparison!
Megumin: "Kazuma! I want to blow them up with Explosion Magic!"
Darkness: "These goblins' bodies are so tough; they didn't even scream from that arrow! If it were Kazuma, he'd probably be howling like a ghost!"
Kazuma: "???"
[On Screen]
[The blue goblin yanked out the arrow, snapped it, and charged toward them with heavy footsteps!]
["Woooo——"]
[Its roar was deafening. Its spear thrust at the two, but they dodged nimbly!]
[As it prepared to swing again, the spear got stuck on the ceiling in the confined space, not pulled free in time!]
Squelch—
[Haruhiro raised his dagger and slashed its belly. Blood splattered everywhere!]
[But it had no effect whatsoever. It attacked the two again!]
Bam! Bam! Bam!
[Moguzo and the giant goblin exchanged blow after blow, glaring at each other with ferocious eyes!]
[Today, neither would back down!]
[The coward would be the one to run!]
[Ranta was about to use his skill but found the goblins didn't follow his expected pattern, leaving him confused. These goblins weren't playing by the rules!]
[Haruhiro couldn't help but shout, "Your movements are too obvious!"]
[These goblins were intimately familiar with human combat methods. They were monsters that had survived countless battles!]
[Screen Continues]
Ranta hadn't expected these goblins to possess such intelligence. A chill ran down his spine...
How could his movements be so easily read?!
"These goblins are too strong!"
"Can we really defeat them?"
Though reckless, Ranta wasn't a fool. If these goblins continued to cooperate like this...
"We definitely can! We've all made up our minds!"
Haruhiro's eyes were resolute. They would definitely break through. They were no longer the helpless individuals who could only watch their companion die!
"Everyone is here, and we're all prepared!"
"Mary, I also believe we can win!"
"I... believe too..."
"Don't worry... I won't let any of you die!"
