"Steal!" Kazuma shouted, stealing a bow from a goblin. "Darkness!" He called out.
Darkness dashed out in the goblin nest and slashed wildly at the inhabitants.
Missing every goblin.
"Expol-" A voice started by Kazuma, before he used Drain Touch on Megumin, shutting her up.
"Don't do that. It'll kill us." Kazuma said in a flat tone.
"Kazuma! Help!" Aqua shouted as she ran in circles.
Kazuma ignored her, he reviewed the battlefield, Darkness was missing every slash as goblins latched on to her body, Megumin was being dragged off saying 'Help. Help. Help. Help.' On repeat, and Aqua was being her regular useless self.
"Drain Touch." Kazuma used the spell on a goblin creeping up on him, before kicking it. "This was a waste of-"
He stopped talking because he think he heard something, he strained his ears as something got louder and closer.
"Is... that... music?" He questioned outloud.
It was.
Heavy metal instrumentals echoed throughout the cave.
A armoured figured holding a torch, with a round shield on his arm, and a short sword in his other, came into view.
"Hey. Hey." Kazuma called out.
As the figure got closer the music picked up it's tempo and the goblins all froze, before snapping their heads to the figure.
{Censored Cut.}
Kazuma's party walked in a straight line to their table in the Guild Hall.
Normally when they came back only half of them looked unhappy and they were commonly covered in slime.
This time however, they all had a dead look in their eyes, and they all were covered in blood.
That was the day they met the new Adventurer.
The Goblin Slayer.
