Hello people, and welcome back to Goblin Slayer: The Team.Who's ready for more Goblin Slayer-style carnage? I know I am...

Review Response: Storm Mage made it pretty clear he feels the same way about Spearman's antics, as well as how distasteful the guild's response to the goblin army is, and that's not counting the fact that he apparently wants some ass from Witch, and honestly...who can blame him?

I could not resist including the 2 rookies to save my life, and giving Priestess a larger role was also idiot-obvious, especially with her new firepower. Fighter mimicking Shredder is completely accidental, but hey, that just means I have more reason to be proud of this story. The bit with Cow Girls' uncle being worried about the farm being funny is also unintentional, but hey, laughs are laughs. Having Cow Girl clap to hurt the goblins' ears was a shoo-in, it's been proven that not only attracts the goblins, but also pissed them off, and in battle, being angry is a double-edged sword: you get more hostile, but your defense suffers, and look what happened.

To be fair: Warrior was hitting on Wizard while things were calm, so...eh.

I should've been more clear, but Ranger implied that the Goblin Lord isn't retreating since the goblin army was still strong; that's not very tactically sound to leave your army hanging, even by goblin standards. So Goblin Slayer running to get him, is pointless. But now Revenant is back, and...boy does he have some surprises for all of you...

Witch being jealous of Wizard and Warrior is something I didn't even think about...although, I think she'd be better off getting with him; at least Storm Mage doesn't have his head up his ass, and before anyone goes "you just want her with Storm Mage because he's your OC and you think Witch is hot." yes those 2 things are true, but like I said: Storm Mage doesn't have his head up his ass, and the 3 demon hunters are written to be messed up in the head, Storm Mage is not, and as a writer, it is critical I look at my material both objectively and subjectively. If a character has a screw loose, or is a freaking genius, I NEED to treat them as such, and that includes my opinion of how they live and love.

Huh...reinforcing Ranger and Fighter's already diamond-hard connection by having them each wear rings that bind their lives in some way...kinda overkill, but it's food for thought...


"What are you doing here?" Priestess said with surprising firmness.

"The old man actually summoned me to the monastery and told me the Supreme God wants me here to help all of you." Revenant said. "I may take orders from the Death God, but he takes orders from the Supreme, so...here I am to collect any souls in the area, and if the goblins want to stop me, then their lives are forfeit."

"This just gets better and better..." Wizard said with a sigh. "And I'm almost out of potions. Wait..." she then put a gateway scroll on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Fighter said.

"Getting more potions. I'll be back in less than a minute." Wizard said urgently as she vanished.

"Nice of her to leave in a hurry..." Revenant said casually as he removed the soul from the dead hob.

"There is no way she would abandon us." Ranger snapped. "She put more effort into helping us get stronger than all of us combined."

"Nice of you to join us." Witch said

"Hello again." Revenant said.

"Wait, you know this guy?" Fighter asked.

"Yes, almost as well as I know Storm Mage." Witch said "He even helped me out against some outlaws when I was Emerald Ranked."

"I was there for the souls, like I am now." Revenant said seriously as if to get the record straight.

"Yes, yes, we know the drill." Ranger said as if tired, then Wizard reappeared with bags full of potions. " I knew she'd be back."

"So I see." Revenant said before pouring some light purple energy into the dead hob. "My fellow dead, raise up." The hob slowly got up and the team and other troops put up their guard except Witch. "Relax, I control it." Then some more goblins appeared and Revenant pointed at them and the undead hob charged them and smashed up their numbers, until a pair of hobs beat it into submission. "Well...at least it did some good." Revenant then walked towards the goblin wave with his scythe turning into 2 smaller ones.

"O.k...I know he can't feel pain, let alone die, but that is a huge fucking number of goblins out there." Warrior said. "How is he not going to get trapped or something?"

"Believe it or not, reanimating corpses and removing souls are just 2 of his tricks." Witch said cryptically.

"What else can he do?" Ranger asked.

"Watch..." Witch said leaning against a wall, as Revenant eventually charged into the goblin army with speed that must be twice that of a horse, and rips right through the middle of the wave with a burst of green energy, which sends any caught in the blast flying and when Revenant reaches the other side, he tears into every goblin around him with the scythes, and it's very clear he knows how to use them. He swung his scythes from side-to-side, up and down, diagonally, any mixture of the 3, which includes spinning and changing his moves, all while weaving through the crowd so quickly and powerfully that the goblins can barely keep track of him let alone figure out what to do. He even throws his scythes around every once in a while, and spins around ripping out souls while the scythes cut up the goblins as if a ghost was swinging them. They eventually turn into his 2-handed scythe, return to Revenant and he finishes off the little monsters with a final energized swing that reduces the goblins to a paste. He wraps up his one-sided massacre by calling their souls to him and absorbs them into his abdomen.

"That...that's at least...how does one person wipe out dozens of goblins in less than a minute?" Ranger asked while breathing hard.

"Like I told Spearman, if Revenant was an adventurer, he would be Platinum Ranked." Witch said without any surprise at Revenant's display of power.

"Damn...the Abbot is just Gold Ranked and he wiped out scores of demons without too much trouble. Imagine what the Revenant could do." Warrior said.

"And we're on our way to that level ourselves." Fighter said firmly, and Revenant walked back to the farm then when he turned around, he was whacked by a goblin champions club and was sent flying back to the farm, and despite the devastating force of the hit, and how far he was sent flying, he got up a few seconds after hitting the ground like nothing happened, brushed himself off, charged himself up with green energy, then fired a bolt of what looked like lightning, and the champion was instantly reduced to a pile of rotting flesh with the bones peeking out of the mass, and the goblins were so appalled they started throwing up.

"Poor bastard." Warrior said half-jokingly.

"Thank the gods they're smelling it and not us." Wizard said.

"Good point; they're probably used to nasty things going on, but good luck finding something that stinks worse than dead stuff." Warrior said.

"By the way, if you encounter any lone goblins, capture it and save it for later." Revenant said as he kept looking at the field.

"Why?" Fighter asked.

"If I'm going to summon the Death God to help us, I need either a sacrifice, or spend time forming his seal." Revenant said.

"You want to what now?" Wizard exclaimed which the others quickly agree with.

"I have a bounty of souls for him to collect, and he makes me more powerful each time I give them to him. He might even intervene directly in this little war." Revenant said.

"Still, you can't really expect the Death God to help living people." One of the troops said.

"I serve him as faithfully as a dog would; he owes me more than all of you owe your parents." Revenant said as casually as ever.

"But...why are you helping us?" Ranger asked "You said the living don't concern you."

"I am here because I was ordered to come here, and the Death God was ordered by the Supreme God directly, to send me here." Revenant said still looking. "Now, unless you have anymore pointless questions, keep an eye out for a possible sacrifice." The team then looked to Ranger.

"Oh what the hell, do what he said." Ranger said without much enthusiasm but still seriously, before looking to the other side, and his heart sank: another round of goblins with girls tied to crosses was spotted. "Revenant?"

"I know. Kill the ones you can, and I will reanimate the dead to fight for you." Revenant said as the 3 shooters took pot shots at the goblins, until they ran out of shots, then Revenant cast a wave of purple energy at the goblins, then the dozen or so stood up then starting cutting, stabbing, or even biting into their living brothers, and their sadistic laughter turned into screams of pain and terror, and the dead goblins actually turned into more undead goblins.

"I never thought I'd say this, but it's good to have the powers of death on our side." Wizard said abit awkwardly.

"Alright, now let's get in there and save those girls!" Ranger yelled as he, Fighter, Warrior, and a few others rushed out to get the captives, and the undead goblins completely ignored them and stood still. "Ignore the reanimated goblins, just grab the girls." The team picked up the girls, one each, but there were still more to grab, so they ran back a second time, after Wizard gave them each a stamina potion for their run, then more goblins appeared, and the reanimated goblins held them back, but they were eventually overwhelmed, and the team pulled their weapons, and charged the goblins yelling all the while; Priestess even threw in an Empower miracle for good measure, and the team each massacred the goblins by the dozens, and the Bronze Ranks kept the rest of the goblins busy while the other troops grabbed the girls and took them back to base.


Warrior actually pulled his hammer, charged it with lightning and shocked an entire group, with a single bolt bouncing back and forth between them, and he bashed an armored one and the shockwave blew it and several others to bits, he then noticed another group coming from the side and Storm Mage vaporized them for him, then signaled him to follow, then when Warrior got close enough, Storm Mage charged his hammer with lightning and pointed at a group of armored hobs in the distance.

"The other Silver Ranks are still busy with the champions, but they won't last long if we don't help them out." Storm Mage said

"What do you need me for?" Warrior said

"Throw your hammer at the hobs." Storm Mage said which got him a weird look from Warrior "Trust me." Warrior then threw his hammer and it hit the ground by the hobs...after it shocked every smaller goblin into dust as it flew there with more distance than Warrior thought was possible. The hobs themselves were either dead from the blast, or knocked down. Then Storm Mage called down lightning from the clouds overhead, and another shockwave was dealt out.

"Wait, my hammer can't take that kind of abuse!" Warrior exclaimed.

"Call it back..." Storm Mage said knowingly, then Warrior extended his hand and the hammer returned to his hand...without a scratch on it. "You were saying?"

"That is one effective lightning enchantment." Warrior said in awe.

"Actually...I improved it." Storm Mage said

"What? How?" Warrior asked.

"My namesake." Storm Mage said with an eyebrow raised. "Now, let's finish off the rest." He then charged at the rest of the goblins, sparked his boots, and jumped into the air, hovered around with magnetism, and he took pot shots at the goblins he spotted, and even stopped a barrage of arrows from a platoon of goblin archers, which not only saved him, but also the farm. Talk about good timing! Granted he took some arrows himself from some stray archers, but his armor held fast.


Meanwhile, Ranger downed goblin after goblin after goblin by stabbing or slashing them in either the head, chest, or gut, sometimes while standing still, but mostly while moving, jumping, spinning, or any mix of the 3. Sometimes a goblin pounced at him, only to be impaled on one or both his swords, then flung away or into another goblin. He showed once again how dual swords are used like usual: on top of normal sword tricks, he transferred from one strike to another in a single motion, and even moved one sword to an odd angle and stabbed the goblins from a blind spot when they believed he left himself open. Sometimes he did leave himself open to an attack to bait them, and then he cut them apart as soon as they got in range. On occasion he simply chopped off a limb, and left the goblin there to bleed to death or be finished off by Fighter.

Who was right there shredding goblins with her arm/leg blades, or just clobbering them the old fashioned way. They weren't making it a contest, but she actually eviscerated more goblins then Ranger did, even though he chopped more to pieces. She also noticed that Ranger threw his swords at a goblin or two every now and then and took a page out of her book and used her moves, either by grabbing them and slamming them into the ground, each other, both, or just plain throwing them away like the trash they were. Fighter eventually got stick of the blades, retracted them, and treated them like she did those demons: some pounced at her only to get their necks broken, a limb snapped, or even ripped in half and their halves were thrown at other goblins. Of course she also simply struck them while moving like Ranger did, and the goblins either had their chests caved in to the point where their ribs were visible, their guts were dislocated, or their heads were smashed to a pancake...if they were lucky.

"At least the Revenant will be happy." Ranger joked when the massacre was finally over.

"You're enjoying yourself alittle too much." Fighter retorted. Despite how gruesome their act was, and discounting the fact that goblins were despicable to the point where any misfortune that befell them was met with zero sympathy, the two fiances managed to keep it casual.

"At least I'm not covering my face with a helmet 24/7." Ranger said as he pulled his sword from a dying goblin's gut, then grabbed it as it tried to pounce at him, then he lifted it off the ground, and when it tried stabbing his arm with a piece of a broken spear...his armor held firm, and he grabbed it's arm with his free hand, broke it's arm and it's scream fell on deaf ears as Ranger looked over the broken spear. "Wow, you don't know much about dragon skin do you? Oh well, would you be so kind as to take this back?!" He then jammed the broken spear into it's eye then casually threw it away.

"You keep this up, you'll wind up wearing a helmet 24/7." Fighter joked.

"What can I say? I love my job: no matter what you do to these little bastards, you never feel guilty." Ranger said. "I don't even feel winded. You?"

"Not really." Fighter said then the earth-shaking shockwaves from Storm Mage and Warrior got their attention. "What the hell?"

"Could that be from-" Another bolt cut Ranger off. "Son of a bitch! Storm Mage is up there!" The 2 watched Storm Mage stop the arrow barrage with his lightning and they soaked in the sight. Lightning was a sight to behold when it was quick and alone. Seeing it in a long, sustained burst was awe-inspiring.

"Wait! Where's Goblin Slayer? He's missing all the fun." Fighter said.

"Knowing him, he is the fun." Ranger said half-jokingly. "Anyway, let's get the last 2 girls and-" He noticed a goblin going for one of the captives drooling as it looked her over. "Capture that one!" Fighter then charged at the goblin, it heard her, screamed in fear, then she grabbed it, pinned it down, jammed her fingers into it's eyes, broke all 4 of it's limbs, and broke several of it's teeth with a single punch. "Alright, now let's take these girls back." The 2 then took the girls, and their new prisoner back to base. On the way back, Revenant showed up, hit the freshly-killed goblins with a wave of lavender energy and extracted their souls; clearly his priority was the souls, not the captured goblin.


"Welcome back." Wizard said as the 2 came back with Revenant behind them "Revenant finished off the goblins that were stunned by the horrid smell while you were gone-" She shut up when she spotted the goblin Fighter was holding by the neck. "Damn, and I thought goblins couldn't get any uglier."

"We caught it red-handed getting ready to rape one of the girls." Fighter snarled.

"Oh...well, at least it'll do some good now." Wizard said as Revenant came up and took the barely-alive goblin from Fighter like it was a bag full of money.

"Thank you." Revenant said almost pleasantly.

"Just get that damned thing out of my sight." Fighter said as she and Ranger took the 2 girls they held to the others still fuming; Ranger couldn't say he blamed her. When they reached the others, they saw Priestess healing their wounds, and when she spotted the 2 engaged adventurers come in with 2 more, she sighed.

"When does it end...?" Priestess whispered sadly.

"Before dawn." Ranger said firmly. "I hope the goblin lord brought every single goblin in existence to this place so we can put this mess behind us for good."

"When this is over, we should pay a visit to the old man and ask him if there are other goblin lords or armies out there." Fighter said barely keeping her temper in check. "I don't care if we have to did this 10 times over, this needs to end!"

"As true as that is, we can't just go into this headlessly." Ranger said, and Fighter started thinking and calming down.

"Right...I just forgot how low the goblins can sink." Fighter whispered, and Ranger went to her, put his hand on her shoulder, she looked him in the face to see his care for her, hugged him and felt him hug her back without a hint of tension between them.

"Priestess?" Ranger said still holding his fiance. "Keep healing these women, we'll keep an eye out for Goblin Slayer."

"O.k..." Priestess said softly. Seeing the love between her leader and companion inspired her to help the women even more, and then the 2 went out after their morale was restored...only for their hearts to sink like rocks.


"Sweet Supreme in Heaven...!" Ranger whispered in terror. No less than 4 goblin champions, each one carrying bows and arrows to match their colossal size. A volley of those arrows could flatten the entire farm, and just one could kill anyone in the farm in one hit.

"Firestorm!" Wizard yelled and a barrage of fireballs launched out of her spear non-stop at the champions, and one of them cast a Reflect spell, but all it did was weaken the spell or make some fireballs bounce off the shield. At least the goblin champions couldn't shoot with the fireballs coming their way, but with the Silver Ranks still occupied with the champions on the other side, they only had Revenant there to deal with them. As strong as he is, they doubted he could defeat 4 champions in a row...but they were proven wrong as Revenant summoned a grey horse from a green fire and charged right at the champions, jumped off the horse as the horse blew itself up, and Revenant started slicing up their legs with his scythe, dodging their stomps, punches and weapons swings. But one of the champions backed up, and shot as Revenant who took a shot through the chest, but he cut the arrow with a smaller scythe, removed himself from the arrow, the hole in his chest closed in less than a second, then he flipped and rolled across the ground several times to avoid more shots.

"Why doesn't he just one-shot them like he did to the 1st one?" Warrior asked.

"Maybe he wants to reanimate them." Ranger said which floored the whole team. Having 4 reanimated champions would be incredibly useful.

"More hobs are coming!" One of the troops yelled, then Ranger and Fighter grabbed their bow and crossbow from Dwarf Shaman who looked after the weapons for them, then they went to try their power shot enchantments, and shot down a few hobs with one bolt/arrow each, then Storm Mage showed up, and dancing around the hobs while they were being shot at, and he lashed their throats, shredded the back of their knees, paralyzed the ones that tried to punch or stomp on him, and even tied his sword-whip around one of their necks, jumped over it, then ripped off it's head.

"Way to leave them open." Ranger said to himself as he shot one of the paralyzed ones in the head, then another bolt hit the one he was aiming at then he looked to see Warrior waving at him.

"You're not getting all the kills here boss!" Warrior yelled before shooting another hob.

"You're not trying to see who's the top dog are you?" Fighter joked after getting another headshot, then shooting one between the legs which made Warrior yell and Ranger cringe.

"Not cool Fighter!" Warrior yelled which made Fighter laugh awkwardly.

"Sorry...I was aiming for another one's head." She said.

"Well aim for the head on their shoulders next time." Ranger deadpanned before shooting another one in the chest. "Don't say anything; that was an intended heart shot."

"Whatever." Fighter said before checking on the Revenant who was still struggling with the champions, then a big surprise...a huge rock came out and hit one of the champions in the back, knocking it down, and giving Revenant a chance to climb up it's back, slice it's neck, reanimate it, then keep distracting the champions while the undead one got up and tried to bite one of the other 3, then Revenant sliced it's leg which let the undead one bite a chunk out of it's throat, then Revenant went for the 3rd one, threw his scythe to hit it between the legs making it roar in pain, called his scythe back to him, then a 2nd rock hit he last one right in the face, and Revenant had the undead champion bash it on the head with the stone until it was dead, then break the 3rd champion's neck and Revenant plunged his scythe blade into the 2nd one's brain stem then reanimated that one was well.

"O.k...that takes care of those champions, but where did those rocks come from?" Warrior asked.

"Ranger!" A rhea yelled as he approached. "Ranger, Goblin Slayer captured a goblin catapult. He's going to use it on the champions."

"You mean he has used it on the champions." Ranger said as he pointed at them. "Revenant killed them a few second ago then turned them to our side."

"He can do that?" The rhea asked.

"Apparently." High Elf Archer said.

"And where have you been?" Fighter asked.

"Someone has to fetch arrows and bolts for you guys." H.E. Archer said as she forked over a bag of bolts to Ranger and Warrior, and arrows for Fighter. "Anyway, nice of Orcbolg to even the odds with a stone shower."

"Quite right Long Ears." Dwarf Shaman said. "Wouldn't mind looking at it myself should the chance present itself."

"Typical. If it's made of metal or throws rocks, dwarves can't help but get involved." H.E. Archer said.

"Now to be fair, that catapult led to the deaths of 4 champions in a row, and now they're on our side." Warrior said and Storm Mage took a hit from a hob's mace and was sent into one of the houses. "Oh shit!" The 3 then went to check on Storm Mage, who was still alive, but was struggling to move.

"Don't move!" Fighter yelled and she checked on him. "Where were you hit?"

"My entire back." Storm Mage groaned then Wizard came in, and took out a life potion.

"Here, drink it." Wizard said as Storm Mage practically downed the thing with no regard for the taste, as Fighter removed his armor as he groaned from the movements, and she checked to see what his skeleton was like, and he growled when she pushed his ribs a bit.

"He has several broken ribs. He's not fighting anytime soon." Fighter said.

"Go get Priestess." Ranger ordered, and the rhea rushed to get Priestess. "I guess you're going to have to take Storm Mage's place Warrior."

"Here's hoping I can." Warrior said seriously.

"You did so far..." Storm Mage said with a strained voice. "Just keep up...what you've been doing..."

"Well, if nothing else, I want to kill that hob who did this to you." Warrior said as he put his hammer away and pulled his hand-and-a-half sword.

"He wore a black breastplate and had 3 ponytails." Storm Mage said. "If you can, bring me his head."

"Will do." Warrior said as he walked out, with Ranger following.

"I'm going to see if they need me." Fighter said and she gently placed Storm Mage flat on the floor. "Priestess should be here soon."

"Just go kill those sons of bitches!" Storm Mage said, which earned him a weird look "Sorry...that was the pain talking; may their mothers rest in peace..."

"Right." Fighter said as both Priestess and Cow Girl showed up. "Why aren't you with that elemental?"

"I had to see what that crash was." Cow Girl said "Is he alright?"

"Alright? I have several busted ribs woman!" Storm Mage bellowed.

"Get a hold of yourself." Fighter snapped as Priestess approached "She's just concerned."

"Right..." Storm Mage whispered as Priestess used Heal on him and he began breathing easier.


Meanwhile, Warrior looked for the hob with the 3 ponytails, an spotted him approaching the house Storm Mage was in wanting to finish the job...

"Hey! Asshole!" Warrior yelled and the hob turned to him, and Ranger came out from behind Warrior, and the 2 charged the hob, split up, and each slashed one leg off, then Warrior lopped off the Hob's head, turned to see the other hobs charging them, then he positioned the head to "watch" his friends die, then Ranger and Warrior rushed into the small crowd and deflected several sword blows from the hobs, and sliced into the bare limbs of those that tried to punch, grab, or stomp on them. Good thing their swords were supped up by Wizard, some hobs actually had burn marks on their wounds from the demon blood and holy energy imbued into their swords.

Warrior and Ranger worked together to kill the hobs no worse than Ranger and Fighter did. From Warrior climbing a hob's back after it was set up by Ranger and killing another hob, then lobotomizing the hob Warrior climbed, to Warrior distracting one so Ranger could kill it, even tricking the hobs into attacking each other. One time, Ranger grabbed and sword off one of the dead hob and impaled another in the gut, popping it's arota, the largest blood vessel in the body. In the chaos, the 2 didn't hear or see Fighter get involved as the 2 were getting winded, and Fighter didn't disappoint: she stopped a hob's club with her hands, ripped it away, bashed the hob's brains in, bashed another one before throwing it at a 3rd, who grabbed it in mid-air and tried to smash her, but she sidestepped, ran up the club and kneed it in the face before flipping over it and breaking it's neck, then she slid between a 4th one's legs, tripped it by pulling it's legs out, and beheaded it with a sword from one of the dead hobs.

"I love her so much..." Ranger whispered as he shook his head.

"Only you would get turned on by a bloodbath." Warrior teased.

"A bloodbath caused by a woman like her? Absolutely." Ranger said seriously before Fighter walked up to them.

"What would you two do without me?" Fighter boasted.

"Have alot less fun for one thing." Ranger said

"Yeah, unless your idea of fun is being crushed by a ton of hobs." Fighter said. "Seriously you two fought a crowd of hobs, who had armor and weapons, by yourselves, while exhausted?"

"Hey, you only killed 4, we killed at least 5, maybe 6 or 7." Warrior said.

"I love the two of you...but you're both idiots." Fighter said with playful sternness.

"But we're your idiots." Warrior said playfully as he held his arms to the sides.

"That you are..." Fighter said with a smile before pointing at Warrior. "You, get out of here."

"Alright...damn rabbits." Warrior said as he walked off.

"I heard that!" Fighter said as Warrior back-waved at her.

"You really think we're idiots?" Ranger said with mock hurt in his voice.

"Of course not; he's the closest thing to a brother I have...and that brain of your's is part of why I love you." Fighter said as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'd kiss you but you've got blood all over your face, more importantly your lips."

"Good point; it's no wonder that elf hates having blood all over her." Ranger said "Can't imagine tasting it during a moment like this."

"Let's just stop right there." Fighter said seriously before an arrow bounced off Ranger's back armor. "Run!" the 2 rushed back to the farm as a volley of arrows came down and the 2 held each other by a wall until the arrows stopped, then peeked to see what happened, and lo and behold, Goblin Slayer was there wastelanding every goblin archer in sight.

"First he saves us with a catapult, now he takes out some archers for us." Ranger said as he looked Fighter in the face still pissed that he can't kiss her until he washes off. "He is invited to our wedding no questions asked."

"Here's hoping that farm girl can convince him to do so." Fighter said "O.k...let's get that blood off your face; I really want to kiss you." With that, the 2 made way to a nearby faucet, after checking on the other side, and it was going pretty well. The Silver Ranks and even the rookies were surrounded by dead goblins, hobs, and wolves galore. They even witness one champion cut in half by Heavy Warrior, and Spearman run up a chain used by the 2nd champion and stab it in the face. The 3rd was tag-teamed by Spearman and Heavy Warrior, only for Female Knight to stab it in the blind spot, and sever it's head. Then the 2 went to wash Ranger's face with a towel and some water, and Fighter barely let him finished before pressing her lips to his as he dropped the towel, and shifting their lips a few times to drive home the point.

"Heaven really is sweetest after tasting Hell first." Ranger said softly and Fighter smiled in response.

"How funny is it that we get to have a moment like this during a siege?" Fighter asked.

"Hey, we've killed a hundred goblins give or take a dozen or 2, and the others have this nailed. We've earned this." Ranger said "But I'm not bedding you."

"Yeah, no kidding." Fighter said. There's no way they could take that subject seriously at a time like this; joking about it was welcome, but that's as far as it's going. "Let's just check on Storm Mage." With that, the 2 went to see where he was, and Priestess and Cow Girl helped Storm Mage into the house with the traps and elemental guard.

"How is he?" Ranger asked

"He's in no shape to fight, but he could still keep watch here." Wizard said. "At least, he's in no shape to fight yet."

"The point is I'm not dying and I still have two feet to stand on." Storm Mage said as the 2 ladies hauling him sat him in a chair before Goblin Slayer showed up.

"We still have at least 300 goblins left; I've counted no less than 579 dead goblins, and did some scouting myself to see how many were left." GS said.

"Yeesh, the guild's going to go bankrupt with all the gold they'll have to shell out." Wizard said.

"That doesn't matter." GS said. "I also destroyed the catapults they were going to use, and with those 4 champions, they'll be routed before they know it."

"Not to mention that Revenant who happens to be equal to a freaking Platinum Rank." Wizard said.

"Platinum...interesting." GS said.

"He even has a captive goblin so he can summon the Death God to give all those souls he's been collecting." Warrior said and GS turned to leave. "Wait, you're not going to kill it are you?"

"Of course I am." GS said.

"You do know that Revenant needs it to summon the Death God and get more power right? Maybe even have the Death God help us kill the goblins." Ranger said which made GS stop and think.

"A god being summoned to kill goblins...that would be a sight to behold." GS said

"Holy shit...we actually persuaded Goblin Slayer to spare a goblin." Warrior said.

"But that's not good news for the goblins, especially since...well, did you see the state my fiance left that goblin in?" Ranger asked.

"Serves it right for trying to violate a girl that was tied up and bleeding." Fighter said with apathy.

"How much more do you think your people can take?" Cow Girl's uncle asked.

"We're nearly exhausted, Storm Mage is injured, some are dead, the Silver Ranks are holding strong, but they can't be everywhere at once. we're running out of stamina potions, and...at this point, summoning the Death God may ironically save our lives." Ranger said.

"Can't say I'm looking forward to meeting the guy who will one day take my soul." Wizard said.

"At least he'll take it to Heaven." Warrior said.

"Still...it's the Death God; the name speaks for itself." Wizard said.

"Anyway...this has been one hell of a night, and it's only going to get more serious from here on out." Ranger said as he leaned against the table he was sitting at.


See? Even when off-screen Goblin Slayer makes an impact, and yes you read that correctly: 579 dead goblins and counting, that's gotta be a new record. Also...just to recap: Revenant can raise the dead to fight for him, even champions, can't die or feel pain, he can remove souls either one by one, or en masse, summon and control scythes, empower himself to move at ridiculous speeds, hits like a truck, summon a pale horse that can explode and move at speeds similar to himself, and can even summon the Death God himself, aka the Grim Reaper...no wonder he's Platinum Rank level eh? Anyway...stay tuned for the rest of the carnage, because it's not even close to done.
