Hello people, and welcome back to Goblin Slayer: The Team. The final chapter is here, but don't worry, there is still plenty left to do, so let's get it on.

Review response: FYI, Revenant being Platinum level is something I intentionally built up at least since Witch mentioned that, and I've been looking into ways to make "OP" since before I thought of this story, plus there's the fact that his power comes directly from the Death God, who is...well, a god. Hence the term "godlike power", and he's in charge of death itself. That makes Revenant automatically Platinum Rank in terms of raw power. Also, frankly the only reason I think Witch shouldn't be with Revenant is because...well, he's undead and...who the hell wants to be romantically involved with a dead guy?

The real beauty about morally-grey characters like Revenant is that you can make them stupidly overpowered...and get away with it.

As for Storm Mage? Well, he's a master of lightning magic and uses melee skills, so him being a beast on the battlefield should surprise no one. Plus, he was healed by Priestess...after being checked on by Fighter, which I'd consider him lucky for if her checking his ribs didn't hurt like a bitch. Anyway, he might be down, but not out.

As for Goblin Slayer? It's again accidental, but him going after the goblins rather than letting them come to him, especially with an army holding the farm seems more in-character, especially since he helped take out/"recruit" 4 champions, and took out dozens of archers, which probably saved our 2 lovebirds. So even when he's not there...he's there, and since he has a habit of counting his kills because...reasons, buying the drinks should be no problem. Speaking of money, I never thought about how the team would count their kills, or if they even care.

As for Ranger and Fighter's moment? As Metal Gear Solid loves to mention, love can bloom even on a battlefield, and those 2 cannot get enough of each other. You might as well say their relationship is immortal. Hope I get a relationship like that...minus the goblins.

I didn't even think about how far summoning the Death God can go. Thanks for opening my eyes...although technically Revenant can summon the Death God whenever he pleases; he does get stronger whenever he gives them to the Death God; Revenant even mentions summoning the Death God when he's introduced back in chapter 2 part 1.

Also...I'm alittle amazed no one mentioned how serious Ranger and Goblin Slayer's duel was, or Ranger CATCHING FIRE a several chapters ago, or maybe Warrior throwing his pummel as a joke when he got his new sword in chapter 2 part 1, I think it is. What's up with that? Not to mention that the very first part of this story is the most popular...still.


"Priestess?" Fighter asked. "May I ask how the girls are?"

"I did what I could, but I'm out of holy water, and I used most of my miracles." Priestess said somberly.

"Their souls still pulse." Revenant said with his usual apathy. "Any of them could be used for the sacrifice as well."

"Absolutely not." Fighter said as she stood before Revenant, clearly not afraid of him, despite his display of godlike power which made Ranger's eyes widen and pray to every deity he can think of that she doesn't try anything rash while they were engaged.

"Why? They're dying, and the chance of your Priestess getting more miracles is slim at best, especially since she is needed for the living and well." Revenant said "That goblin is close to death as well. Should it's life go out-"

"Then we'll capture another." Fighter said.

"You caught the first one off-guard; good luck doing that again." Revenant said.

"Those girls deserve a chance to get their lives back." Fighter snapped. "But I don't know why I expect a glorified exterminator to understand..."

"One not destined to exterminate any of you one should hope." Revenant said casually which put everyone in the area on-edge, even the non-adventurers.

"We have the Supreme God's favor." Ranger said with authority. "You kill us, you're not going to be rewarded." This statement made the Revenant glance at him, and stay silent for several seconds.

"I simply expressed my hopes that none of you will have to die by my hand." Revenant said almost pleasantly. "Although...I am curious to see how that would go." With that, he turned to look around. "From the look of things, we've wiped out three quarters of the goblin horde, but the last one has some curiously powerful souls, which includes their high priest."

"They have a high priest?" Wizard asked

"Yes, the goblins do have at least one deity: the so-called god of wisdom. There have even been cases where a goblin paladin branded someone with his mark." Revenant said.

"Paladin?" Warrior exclaimed. "First champions, now paladins?"

"Yes, they're quite rare, but they should-" Revenant stops talking the moment the 4 undead champions are heard fighting, and they each get sliced apart one-by-one by an armored champion with a glowing blue sword, and a set of magic armor. "There's one of their number now."

"Oh great." Wizard said "That Death God summoning better be worth it."

"Speaking of whom: how much does he owe you?" Ranger asked.

"I have harvested thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands; at least 2 centuries worth of souls, so he didn't have to." Revenant said seriously. "He owes me, more than a child owes it's mother."

"Then can you ask him to curse the goblins?" Ranger asked which made everyone, especially Goblin Slayer curious right away.

"I suppose so." Revenant said casually.

"Then summon him now." Ranger said.

"Not yet." Revenant said.

"Why not?" Fighter asked.

"Because, there are still a bounty of souls for me to harvest." Revenant said. "And that paladin should make for a pretty interesting fight."

"Interesting? You can't die or feel pain, or anything for that matter. How can this be interesting for you?" Fighter asked. She of all people should know that being in a fight is a great way to have a good time if adrenaline highs are your thing. Heaven knows she had her fair share with Ranger..."

"First off, I have no intention of fighting him; I meant the fight should be interesting to watch. But to answer your question, it's simple: I can take my soul back." Revenant said.

"What? I thought your condition was permanent." Wizard said.

"I can actually take my soul back, if only for a while; as long as I have it, I can actually die." Revenant said

"I take it you rarely do that?" Wizard asked.

"Yes." Revenant said, and when he finished, the last undead champion fell, then he looked at where the girls captured by the goblins were being held. "One of the girls is dead."

"No..." Ranger whispered as Revenant made his way there. "Hey! You're not going to sacrifice the rest are you?"

"I might as well since their souls are pulsing." Revenant said casually and Ranger drew his left sword, with his left hand in a reverse grip, charged at Revenant at full speed, and impaled him right through the heart, though his back...only for Revenant to look at Ranger like he was a moron. "That girl said I cannot die, or feel pain. Your efforts are wasted."

"Unlike you, I care for the lives of others." Ranger growled. "Those Silver Ranks, the rookies, the others, those girls...my team. Their lives matter to me, you undead bastard!"

"Funny." Revenant said as he kept looking forward ignoring the sword poking out of his chest. "Amortality tends to keep one's heart at bay, and while you stand here berating me, that paladin behind us is sitting there laughing at you." Ranger then turned to see the paladin who has the absolute nerve to sit on one of the dead champions like it was a throne. "I'm amazed goblins are living beings; only us undead have hearts filled with dust."

"All the more reason to put the goblins down." Ranger said, his patience with Revenant's apathy running dry. "Like that one my fiance captured, for you."

"So...you intend to bind your lives together?" Revenant said casually. "If something happens to her-"

"It won't!" Ranger snarled, and Revenant actually sighed.

"You fool...there are many ways to die outside of battle-" Ranger cuts him off again.

"I know..." Ranger said with a sob in his voice.

"You know that life can be worse than death yet you delay me." Revenant said. "Should something happen to her outside of your power, you will wish you became like me."

"That goes both ways." Fighter said finally as Ranger's trembling muscles and hard breathing became more noticeable. The dark tone of this conversation was taking it's toll; only his experience with dark matters kept him from breaking down at the thought of Fighter being broken in some way, either because of his vision in Hell...or otherwise.

"If it pleases you that much, continue to believe that." Revenant said as he tried to push the sword back out through his back by grabbing the point and cutting his hand open as he tries to push, then watches his hand heal. "Will you be so kind as to remove this cursed blade from my body."

"Not that you deserve it, but fine..." Ranger said as he pulled his sword out, noting the congealed blood, which proved Revenant was in fact undead.

"If I could, I would die of laughter right now." Revenant said as if exhausted. "Now, I have a soul to collect."

"Keep your hands off the others!" Fighter exclaimed which made Revenant stay put for a moment.

"I suppose if you can keep a goblin on-hand." Revenant said. "Although I doubt very strongly that you would be willing to heal a creature so vile."

"Heal a goblin...?" Ranger said with astonishment. That is something you don't hear everyday...then Revenant turned to the others.

"Just out of curiosity, what if I did kill the others?" Revenant asked.

"Then we'd make you wish you could die." Ranger said seriously.

"How? Butcher me? I'll heal. Trap me? I'll break out eventually. Defeat me? Please...you've seen my powers; I could kill the Hero herself if she were here, and she's a match for everyone in this area, goblin and non-goblins alike." Revenant said simply.

"We would find a way. We always do." Ranger said firmly despite how scared he was; he agreed with everything Revenant said; he and his team wouldn't last 2 seconds if they fought this undead juggernaut seriously.

"I see...well, I am obligated to harvest dead souls, not living ones, and I'm not leaving anytime soon so...I'll make an exception." Revenant said.

"Thank you very much." Ranger said barely keeping his brave face up as Revenant left to get his soul...then Ranger walked back trembling then collapsed when he reached the others, and his team was at his side right away. "That man..."

"We know." Fighter said sensing his terror.

"How can a single person cause more fear than an entire army of goblins?" Ranger said as he sat down against the wall with his heart pounding.

"A better question is how can someone who causes this kind of fear, be our only hope?" Warrior asked seriously.

"That's the most ironic, accurate, and poetic thing you've ever said all at once." Wizard said.

"What is it with him?" Cow Girl asked.

"It's his job..." Ranger said with his fear finally subsiding slowly but steadily. "He said himself, the souls of the dead are his only concern; us living people are just...there in his eyes. He even has a habit of removing souls from dying people to save himself the trouble later on."

"What?" Cow Girl asked. "That has to be one of the most disturbing things I've ever heard of."

"I can't say I blame him though; the alternative is to wait for them to die and come back later." Ranger said. "As disturbing as it may be, I must admit the logic speaks for itself."

"But that doesn't excuse erasing their chance to get their lives back." Fighter said firmly.

"No it doesn't." Cow Girl's uncle said "Priestess mentioned what you people have been doing while the rest of you were fighting those goblins, and you are all as welcome to here as often as you'd like. That is, after this siege..."

"For what it's worth, I'm sure the mess won't be too hard to clean, what with my now-perfect fire control and all the people here to gather the dead goblins in a huge bonfire." Wizard said knowingly.

"Oh, that would be great..." Warrior said with enthusiasm.

"Wait...why does that blood look like that?" Cow Girl asked when she finally noticed Ranger's sword.

"It's congealed blood, and...blood only does that in dead bodies." Ranger said as he looked up at her. "He's dead in every way except for the fact that he can move, think, and speak."

"How is that possible?" Cow Girl's uncle asked.

"No idea, but the Death God himself made him this way." Ranger said

"Well, at least he's on our side, mostly." the man said.

"Wait...where's Goblin Slayer?" Priestess asked as everyone looked around for him.

"Don't tell me-" Fighter said as she went to check on the Paladin who watching as Goblin Slayer mowed down another wave of goblins by himself while he was weaving in and out of the crowd like the professional he was. "Well, at least he's not fighting the Paladin directly." She wish she could say the same for the Silver Ranks on the other side who were busy with a 2nd goblin paladin.

"You said the Death God made him this way?" Storm Mage asked from the chair he was sitting on. "He's actually the oldest sibling of the War God."

"As in...?" Ranger said in Fighter's direction, hinting at how she compared him to the War God, but of course, Storm Mage isn't aware of that.

"Yes, the same War God who is represented by this mark." Storm Mage said as he showed the mark on his left shoulderpad.

"Those demon hunters have the same mark." Wizard said.

"No coincidence; we all have his mark as a testament to how devoted we are to fighting the Supreme God's fight." Storm Mage said. "Not all wars are waged for greed or glory."

"Like this one." Warrior noted.

"Exactly." Storm Mage said as he tried standing and he succeeded with some difficulty.

"You need to rest!" Priestess exclaimed.

"As long as I don't get pummeled a second time I'll be golden." Storm Mage said to the girl. "Besides, I have no intention of leaving this house while my ribs are shot to hell."

"Smart man." Cow Girl's uncle said before turning to Ranger. "You and your team should get out there and help Goblin Slayer."

"Right." Ranger said as he finally stood up, drew his swords and when he did, some goblins burst in again, and Storm Mage sparked the ones at a distance with his lightning and the ice elemental guard turned it's forearms into spikes and stabbed every goblin that got too close, when it was over, the team went out and rushed to help Goblin Slayer.


When the team got outside, GS was still holding up, but it was still a stalemate...until Warrior threw his hammer, Wizard used her Levitation spell to make it fly around as the lightning it gave off stunned or killed the entire field full of goblins, then Warrior called it back and Goblin Slayer finished off the stunned goblins then stared down the goblin paladin who finally stood up and charged up his sword, then Priestess used Empower on the team, including Goblin Slayer.

"For the Sword Maiden..." Ranger said.

"And the frontier..." Warrior continued.

"And the fallen..." Fighter finished, and Wizard readied a fire spell for when the time was right.

"Attack!" GS said and the team yelled as they charged at the paladin who charged at them, and Warrior took a page out of the Storm Mage's book, sparked his boots with lightning from his hammer, leaped into the air with Wizard using another Levitation spell to give him a 2nd jump, then Warrior called down some lightning from the clouds overhead, and came down with a hammer blow which the goblin paladin managed to block, but knelt from the raw force, and shoved Warrior to the side, only for Warrior to get up, throw his hammer at the paladin only for it to be blocked, then Ranger and GS took turns attacking the paladin from the side but it blocked each of their swords with it's own, and Fighter looked around for something to throw and picked up one of the rocks that GS used a catapult to sling at the 4 champions earlier, and threw one at the paladin with Dwarf Shaman using his magic to help with, and the paladin actually cut the rock in half, but thanks to being attacked from 3 different angles, he was quickly getting winded, and his opponents weren't pulling any punches.

"Firestorm!" Wizard yelled and the team retreated away from the paladin, and he raised his shield to block the fireball barrage, and the shield even put up a forcefield to help take he blows, then GS stuck up behind it, stabbed it in the side when the fireballs stopped, then Fighter rushed it, leaped and kicked it both feet before landing like a cat, then Ranger severed the paladin's sword arm, took the sword and tossed it to GS who then jammed the sword into it's heart and stood atop it's dying body...as a few dozen goblin survivors showed up to eyeball their dead leader's corpse.

"Anyone want to avenge him?" Warrior yelled as he swapped his hammer for his hand-and-a-half sword and stood with a two-handed stance, as Ranger stood there with his swords at his side and Fighter activated her gauntlet's force enchantment. Some even went for Wizard who used her new spear to impale some goblins, bash them with the mace head on the other side, sometimes she skewered several at once, and even flick them into each other.

"Paralyze!" Wizard yelled and a few hobs showed up and they all fell flat on their faces, which enabled Wizard to stab them all in the top of the head, then she looked around for more goblins, but when she saw their weren't any, she retreated and looked over her new spear, then had an idea: she used some alchemy to transform the spearhead into a blade, so it was now a glaive rather than a spear. She then watched GS and company crave through the goblin horde, with Ranger and GS actually working as if they were a single person attacking the goblins from all directions with just about every technique one can think of. Warrior wasn't much worse, and since his sword was longer than theirs he was able to kill more than one goblin per swing. Fighter's case was just unfair; her gauntlets were about to launch goblins away from the ones she actually hits, and that's not even counting the goblins she disembowels with her arm and leg blades.

"That should do..." Revenant said as he discharged a burst of lavender energy and the goblins' souls flew towards him, and he reanimated the goblin paladin for good measure, and had it walk around the farm, after having it's sword removed, and he craved through every goblin in sight, then had it join he fight with the 2nd paladin.


"Oh shit!" one of the troops yelled as the undead on came into view.

"Don't worry. Our Revenant friend is controlling it." Witch said.

"So...he can bring back the dead?" Rookie Warrior asked.

"Yes, and control them too. Lucky for us." Witch said.

"That is both sick in the head, and useful at the same time." Apprentice Cleric said.

"That's necromancy for you." Witch said as the undead paladin engaged the living one, and while the undead one only landed a few hits before getting beheaded, it brought time for Heavy Warrior to jam his greatsword into it's spine, then Spearman stabbed it in the chest, and Female Knight split it's head open.

"At least he let us get a huge kill." Heavy Warrior said.

"Yeah, can you get him to raise this one too?" Spearman asked.

"Sorry, that one is probably too mangled for him." Witch said.

"Dammit! Well, I guess it doesn't really matter since most of the goblins seemed to have been routed..." Spearman said before another discharge of lavender energy called the souls back to Revenant. "What the...?"


"That is enough." Revenant said as he went to the room where the captured, barely-living goblin was being held, then Revenant knelt down over it, summoned a scythe, made the blade vertical, opened his robe from the waist up, and held his arms out to the side. "Death God, your loyal servant calls to you now. I have acquired another offering of souls for you to ferry to the next life. With this, my sacrifice of life, bring to us the face of death!" He then plunged the scythe into the goblin's heart, and black smoke bellows out of it, the ground shakes a bit, and the smoke turns into a massive, black-robed, transpartent figure carrying a scythe, wearing a hood over a white, metal skull mask which covered the top half of his face, which was black with decay and baring interlocking fangs. It's no wonder the Revenant didn't want the team there when they 1st met. One look at the Death God horrified Wizard and the other troops that saw him to the point where they could barely move. Revenant then craved his abdomen open, the Death God then took out a gourd and the souls went from Revenant's gut, into the gourd, and then Ranger and company followed the chill in the air to see the ritual.

"Is that...the Death God...?" Priestess asked while shaking like a leaf.

"He is indeed." Revenant said with reverence in his voice; this was the deity he served afterall. "The one who provides the final service at the end of all lives."

"May we ask him to curse the goblins?" Ranger asked cautiously.

"How so?" Revenant asked as he turned to them.

"Wipe out the goblins, here and elsewhere." Ranger said firmly.

"No." Revenant said which disappointed the team. "The Death God may enable death and allow us revenants to kill whatever we please, but he must still travel around to see his work done, and his job as the ferryman to the afterlife takes priority over everything."

"Well, can he at least cripple their lifeforce or something?" Wizard asked, which made the Death God let out a...quiet screech and nod.

"Please make it so Death God..." Ranger said while kneeling, and the team followed suit, as the Death God charges up some green energy, and send it through a portal overhead and it felt like the air was sucked out of the room and the chill got worse for a split second.

"What did he do?" Fighter said as she looked up.

"The part of the divine instrument that controls life has been temporarily altered. Every goblin now has a lifespan that is at most, half of what it was before." Revenant said.

"Which means they have less chance to cause more misery in any form." Ranger said with a hopeful voice. "I think I speak for everyone that knows how evil goblins are when I thank you Death God."

"I have my own favor to ask." Revenant asked which got his lord's attention. "I ask for my soul to be returned to me." This got the team's attention as the Death God took out a blackish-purple crystal, held it out and the Revenant's body was flooded with lavender energy and he sucked in several deep breathes. "Now...I can fight for real...!"

"Uhhh...what?" Warrior asked dumbfounded.

"Now that my task is on the sidelines, I can now put this power to use to the fullest!" Revenant said with actual glee in his voice which made the team nervous as the Revenant stretched himself out in various ways then summon his scythe. "Stand aside. I have some more harvesting to do..." The team then moved as Revenant walked out with a toothy grin on his face. Oh the goblins were in for it now...


"I sense you...high priest." Revenant said as he turned to the forest to see a goblin that looked like a mix between a shaman and a paladin come out of the woods, and he had bony, clawed gauntlets on his hands. He also had 4 shamans as an entourage, each one armed with a spear/club hybrid.

"There's the Goblin Slayer..." The high priest whispered. "And those infernal humans who dared ally with him. Kill them and bring the women to me my children!" The 4 shamans then rushed into the farm and the Revenant made really short work of them by charging himself up and cleaving them apart with his scythes, before letting out a manic laugh.

"Nice...nice! Give me more kills!" Revenant yelled which made the high priest resurrect the 4 only for them to be cut down again...and again, and again, and again. Then the high priest resurrected the 2 paladin's had them fight the Silver Ranks at the same time, and Revenant charged to where the paladins were and killed them both with his decay spell before the fight even started. "It's just not a battle without feeling everything, is it?" He then turned to the high priest. "Let's see you return those who have no bodies from the grave."

"You meddle in that which does not concern you servant of the Death God." The high priest said. "This farm is now property of the god of wisdom."

"I have yet to him make a stand here...!" Revenant growled in defiance, which made the high priest charge at the farm, then leap up, and drop kick the place the Revenant was at, only for Revenant to roll away and the high priest shattered the ground, then tuck into a ball and launch at Revenant, only to be sliced by his scythe and stumble across the ground...which made the high priest get up as his wound closed, dig his hands into the ground, fling a barrage of dirt at Revenant who held his scythe out in front of him and made it spin like a fan with his mind, then a large chunk of earth was launched at him and he carved through it with his scythe...and spotted the high priest lunging at him and Revenant took a direct hit as the 2 stumbled along the ground and Revenant tried to rip out the high priest's soul, and got his hand sliced off by the high priest' claws, then Revenant took one swipe after another, and even though his wounds closed as fast as they opened, it still looked at though the high priest was doing to do him in. Then Revenant's hand reattached itself and even his lost blood poured back into his body after he charged himself up and the high priest dashed back and narrowly avoided a Decay spell.

"O.k...not only is this guy stronger, but he's also lost his freaking mind." Warrior said disturbed but noticed the Goblin Slayer was running into the forest. "Wait, he must be going after the goblin lord!"

"Follow him!" Ranger said to Priestess.

"What about that priest?" She asked.

"We'll be fine; even if Revenant dies somehow, the priest will be too weak to pose much challenge for us." Fighter said. "Now go help Goblin Slayer." With that, Priestess took off after GS.

"No, my lord!" The high priest yelled before Revenant plunged his scythe into the high priest's belly, slammed him into the ground, spun him around several times before throwing the scythe with the high priest still attached to it into a wall, then rushed to both push the scythe blade into his belly further, but also try to rip out his soul.

"Pay more attention to the threats to your life before going after children...!" Revenant said while grinning manically while still trying to grab high priest's soul, but as he was on the brink of doing so...the high priest jammed his claws into Revenant's kidney over and over until the shock made Revenant's grip weaken, then high priest shoved him off, ripped the scythe out of his gut, and plunged it into Revenant's shoulder, then Revenant ripped it out of his body, punched the high priest to the ground before charging himself up with energy and rushing the high priest and throwing punch after punch after punch into his gut, chest and face then grabbing him, jumping into the air, and throwing him into the forest with enough force to carve up the ground before landing and calling his scythe back to him.

"Do you think he's dead after all that?" Wizard said while shaking from the superpowered slugfest that just went down.

"No..." Revenant said while sucking in one deep breath after another. "Life vs death made tangible...what an idea..."

"Are you o.k?" Warrior asked since Revenant apparently had a hard time standing up.

"I will be, when this is over." Revenant said cryptically.

"Wait, why didn't you remove his soul, and what will make you get better?" Fighter asked.

"Because...I want this to last as long as possible; this is the best fight I have ever been part of, at least out of the ones were I felt something!" Revenant said as he clinched his fist. "As for why I'll get better? Well...if I don't die first, I will return to what I was."

"Why?" Ranger asked.

"Like I said...the Death God follows the Supreme's orders...and I follow both of theirs." Revenant said "Also...I said I came because I was sent here, and to collect the souls...I also wanted...this." He was then shot by a boulder that came from the forest and sent flying into a wall, which made him laugh his ass off. "How much does that damned priest have in him..."

"Enough to see you rot like the corpse you are!" the high priest showed up, dashed past the team, and pounced on the Revenant and the 2 rolled around again then Revenant pinned the high priest, and tried to rip out his soul...again, as the high priest tried to strangle the Revenant with his spare hand since his bone claws were broken beyond repair.

"Before I kill you I want you to know something..." Revenant said to the high priest. "This is the most fun I've had in decades...and I never thought I'd see the day where I'd thank a goblin...especially not for making me feel so alive...!" He then crushed the high priest's hand around his throat, then...as the entire army of adventurers observed...the high priest had his soul ripped out of his body and the Revenant stood up barely able to breath and shuffled over to the Death God who was still there at the ready and took the soul of the high priest.

"Wait, why didn't that priest get back up?" Warrior asked.

"The flesh is useless without the soul." Revenant said while gasping for air.

"So...does that mean that our bodies aren't connected to our souls?" Ranger asked.

"No...our souls and bodies have nearly everything to do with each other." Revenant said as he sat down and started thinking.

"Well, give him your soul and recover." Fighter said.

"No...my time has come." Revenant said. "After no less than 2 centuries...I'm ready to move on to the afterlife, as my lords wish."

"What about the souls of the rest that die in this country?" Ranger asked.

"There are more revenants than just me, and eventually, another will take my place." Revenant whispered. "In the Supreme's good time..."

"How long do you have?" Fighter asked.

"Not long..." Revenant said as he looked at the sky; the sun was peeking up over the horizon. "Not long at all..."

"Well...it's been an honor watching you flex your powers, even if they were terrifying." Warrior said seriously.

"You're quite welcome..." Revenant whispered as he collapsed and Fighter caught him. "I have a last request...position me in a star, in front of my lord." Fighter when laid Revenant down with his arms and legs spread out in the shape of a human star. Then Goblin Slayer and Priestess returned with GS leaning on her shoulder, and GS' arm was injured, then Warrior and Wizard went out to retrieve them and led them back to the farm, and when GS was taken into the main house to heal alongside Storm Mage...Priestess came to see Revenant, after shaking off the dread caused by the Death God.

"Revenant?" Priestess asked as she knelt next to his body. "What happened?"

"I killed the goblin high priest, which keeps whatever goblins that may have survived leaderless..." Revenant said with a strained voice. "But...it was deemed that I am no longer needed in this world."

"But, you can lead a new life, start over, keep helping people." Priestess pleaded.

"No, I became a revenant to provide the greatest service possible, now it's someone else's turn." Revenant said. "Besides...I had everything someone could ever want when I was first alive, then it all got swept away from me. I actually thought of ending my own life, but I didn't think it would be like this; I decided to become a servant of the Death God, shortly after I learned the rites required. Beats taking the coward's way and throwing you life away doesn't it?" With that, he actually chuckled to himself before sucking in a breath. "I am proud, of the services I provided, and I regret nothing I have or haven't done, and I accept my judgement whole-heartedly. As for the rest of you...may you all receive the blessings I once had." He then reached for the Death God "My lord...I am ready..." With that, the Death God took Revenant's hand, his body turned to ash and the his soul went into the Death God's gourd and he vanished in a cloud of black mist.

"May the Supreme return whatever you lost." Ranger said and Fighter took his hand. Who knew a dead man who cared for nothing would give his final act to save countless living people.

After the minor funeral for Revenant, which included putting his ashes and scythes in a small shrine, the team went to work cleaning up as many goblin bodies as possible and torching them, then they promised to either come back and help rebuild, or at least pay for the damages they can't. But for now...rest was well-earned and needed...


And that's it for the goblin horde, and the end of probably the strongest character either in this story, or at least out of my personal OCs; he claimed that he can kill the Hero, although...that's an insane claim if there ever was one. I've seen her practically nuke a whole place full of Evil Sect members in one blow...somehow. But we're not done here...not yet, so you know the drill people.
