Wizard would not be the first to say his name sounded laughable, Goblin Slayer, he a killer of the weakest monsters? Who called themselves such a thing, at any other time she surely would have mock him but seeing him easly kill that monster that had been chasing her, Wizard choice not to antagonize the Silver rank before her.
Kneeling down in front of the girl Goblin Slayer look her up and down for a moment without saying a word as she gulp finding his silences distubing, "It would seem you are unharm... for the most part anyway." Goblin Slayer noted gently as some as him was cable of grabbing her face and turning it get a better look at the brusing on her face crom where she got hit. Not liking being touched by a stranger Wizard smack his hand off her.
"Hands off creep!" Wizard snapped trying to back away from him.
"Calm down. I'm only checking your injures." Goblin Slayer spoke flatly, however though he meant other wise, with his tone and apprences it came out much more darkly then he ment it as scarying her a little, paying no heed to her shivering Goblin Slayer reach into his pouches at his waist and pulled a red bottle.
"Drink this, it a potion. It will help with the pain." Goblin Slayer said holding it out to her, Wizard pause for a moment unsure if she should trust him so ease just yet before eyeing the dead monster, (Tch if he wanted to do anything to me it not like I could stop him. Beside other then being a bit cold he done nothing wrong to me so far.) Wizard thought taking the potion, popping the cork and downing it in one go.
Standing Goblin Slayer eye the goblin like beast once more looking at the burnt arm, "Are you the one who did that to it's arm?" he ask she stood up as well.
"Yes but unlike the goblins I couldn't kill it in one shot." Wizard said bitterly the pain from where she was hit fading away.
"High-level goblins are harder to kill... even so, the damage is impressive. If you had aim for it head you may have killed." Goblin Slayer commented, Wizard smirked pleased at the praise, "Thank you, I train very...?" Wizard paused in her gloating as the rest of his sintences came to mind.
"High... level... goblins...? that things... a goblin!?" she asked in disbelf, she was sure it was some monster that happen to be there protecting and working the goblins, but it to be an actually goblin? the man had to wrong.
"Impossible! Goblins are just weak little monsters that are only dangerous in high numbers!' Wizard stated, the last part came out bitterly as the attack on her group from earlier came to mind.
"There no way that a goblin." Wizard said firmly though it seem like she was trying to tell that to herself more then him. Goblin Slayer simply looked oddly at the girl and Wizard really wish she could see his expression because not seeing his face was creepying her out even more then that seemingly unintented undead looking he pose was pulling off without even trying.
"The goblins you speak of are just your run of the mill stander , is a Hobgoblin." Goblin stated pointing his blade down at the monster causing Wizards to wide her eyes in shock.
"Hobgoblin?!" she whispered.
"Yes, Hobgoblins: a goblin that have grown larger and put on more muscle. Their something most goblins can't become but are hardly rare enough to be a surprise to find one or two at a nest as they act as bodyguards for nests most of the time." Goblin Slayer stated putting his blade away, Wizard was left speechless, to think such a change was possible more so that it wasn't that uncommon of a change from what his words meant... and yet no one bother to tell them!?
"Umm, aren't you all Porcelain Adventurers, I think it would be best if you waited for a more experienced adventurer to join you?" the Guild's Receptionist words came rushing back, clearly she was trying to help by telling them to hang back for a bit for help, yet they push on... right into their deaths.
"At any rate for a nest of this size this was likely the only one." Goblin Slayer said turn on his heels.
"I'm going to go finish off the rest, what will you do?" he asked, Wizard look fown at the hobgoblin and gulp before steeling herself.
"I'm coming with you! I didn't start this quest just to quit when things went bad." Wizard said with determenation in her voice, (What more if the others are still alive I might have a chance to save them with this guy.) she thought thinking about the two girls she left behind and hoping against hope they were some how still alive.
"Very well, what can you do?" Goblin Slayer asked suprising her he agreed to bring her long so ease.
"Right now I only have four spells Firebolts, Fire Enhance, Aquashield and Object Binding." Wizard spoke a bit bitter tone in her voice, she knew that for one her age it was an impressive amount before but still wanted to learn more, Goblin Slayer tilted his head to the side a giving the hint he was bit confuse but Wizard really wished she could see his face.
"Aquashield? Object Binding?" he asked.
"Ah well Aquashield is a spell where I use water to form a shield stronger then steel... but I can't use it without nearby water." Wizard admit hating the fact that one of her spells was useless at the moment
"Object Binding is just as simply, once cast on an object like say a sword or shield, or axe or even a box it will be bound to the person it belong to and return to their body without fail if said item exits a certain range from their body... however it will only do so three times after that the spell will need to be recast." Wizard stated, Goblin Slayer nodded.
"Very will, how many can you use." Goblin Slayer asked and Wizard actually smirk at his question.
"When I left the school only two but I spent some time training before I join the Guild and can now cast up to five a day, since I used two I still have three left." there was a hint of pride in her voice as she knew few teens her age could do the same.
"Very well, that more then I thought. If you wish to come then do as I say if you want to live other wise head back to the guild." Goblin Slayer stated coldly, Wizard bit her lip, she did not like being told what to do however she also had to remind herself that one: the man before her was a Silver Rank and Two: he had save from being killed by a class of goblins she didn't even know of until now. What ever pride she had could be put on the back burner for now in favor of fellowing this man.
"Understand, sir." Wizard said quitly, Goblin Slayer said nothing as he take out a dagger then to her horror cut open the gut of the hobgoblin.
"What are you doing! Even if it our enemy that going to far!" Wizard exclaimed watching him seeming mutilated the hobgoblin but then watch as he take out a rag and run it over the blood pouring out and souking it up.
"Goblins have a strong sense of smell especially to girls, we need to cover your scent." He told her Wizard's eyes widen as he slowly creepy toward with the bloody rag causing her to back step.
"No way! Your not covering we in goblin blood and guts!" Wizard yelled as he squzzed the rag and her face turn blue at the droplits of blood, holding her staff out in front of her as her back hit the wall of the cave.
"Come any closer and I'll send a fire bolt through your head!" Wizard screamed shaking yet he didn't pause at all.
"I mean it, if you take one more step I'll-"
"... ... ... somebody kill me." Wizard moan as she walked by goblin Slayer's side... cover in blood aall over her dress, (I still say he put some in more hair just for the fun it.) Wizard thought darkly, deep down she knew it was for her own safety but that didn't make her feel any better.
"Calm down, after much washing it will come out now stay close and do not wander." Goblins Slayer said in a somewhat tired tone as that had been the third time she said the same lines. Wizard sigh fellowing after him (He's likely annoyed that he now has some newbe to look after.) Wizard thought dryly. putting aside her curren state of dress for the moment as she walked side by side with him clutching her staff as she thought of the goblins and was cursing them for making her look so weak... she really hope this quest would end soon after they save the others, since it was now possible with the Silver Rank at her side.
After walking for a few minutes Wizard take note of the fact that they were walking in the way they came causing her to reazlie that more goblins would likely greet them soon and steeled herself. However to her suprise what awaited them were nothing but corpse's, goblins corpses... and one human's remain.
Wizard eyed the mutilated form of young Warrior as her face turn blue, she really didn't want to show any more weakness's in front of Goblin Slayer however the sight of her dead comrade chops into pieces was to much! Turning around and dropping to her knees Wizard vomited everything she had eaten that day. Goblin Slayer turn to her for a moment just to make she was okay then turn his eyes towards sword lying the ground his feet.
Wizard finally gaining control of herself looked towards the Goblin Slayer who was holding her fallen comrades sword looking it over.
"Too long for uses in a cave." Goblin Slayer said simple giving it a wing and hitting the wall without even trying, Wizard wench realizing the foolishness of bring a long sword to a small cave knowing that what got the young warrior killed and begain the down fall of her team. Wizard was begining to understand why this quest had gone so badly, they had barely done anything right. Sliding it into the odd sheath at his waist Goblin Slayer began looking around and for some reason Wizard got the feeling he was frowning.
"12 in total dead... Wizard, how many were with you?" Goblin Slayer asked turning towards her and once again she tense at feeling like he was glaring at her.
"Four, including myself. Why do you ask?" she question slowly standing to her feet, she kept her eyes on Goblin Slayer, un-nerving as it was Wizard simply found it better then chancing a sight at the hack to bits form of her former comrade.
"Were any of them female?" he asked, she nodded as she thought of the two she left behind.
"Yes, the Priestest and the Fighter... could they have been killed by the Goblins?" Wizard both hope that was the case and didn't at the same time. If they were killed then it meant their suffering ended however it they were live and capture then she could still save them... however while Wizard didn't know much about goblins 'her lack of knowlege on hobgoblins a remainder of such' she had heard that goblins like to toy with women they capture and Wizard did not want that for them.
"It possible but this is odd. There are no drag marks here, goblins are not known for carrying their prey." Goblin Slayer stated then tilted his head.
"What shape were they in when you got seprated?" Goblin Slayer Wizards eyes widen at his question.
"The Priestess was knocked out from a blow to the head. but the Fighter only had a hurt foot... I believe she was still able to fight!" Wizard said looking almost hopeful at the Slayer as he looked around at the floor of corpses.
"I see. This is just a guess but the Fighter most likely fought off and killed her attackers then she fled with the Priestess, the lack of female clothing rip to shreads on the ground or the goblins at least taking that corpse over there for food is poof of this." Godlin Slayer stated and Wizard couldn't stop the burst of hope filling her heart, to hear that they might had gotten away in one piece was more then she could hope for but hearing the reasoning come from a Silver Rank really up her chances of it being true.
Picking up a bloody axe and looking it over Goblin Slayer then pick up a dagger and look at the blood on it.
"Let us hope the goblins only use these weapons on that corpse over there." Goblin Slayer mused out loud getting a angry expression out of his.
"And why the hell would we hope for that!?" Wizard exclaimed in fury, while it was tru le she didn't know him for very long young warrior had been the one to ask her to join them believing she would have been a big help... she wasn't! To hear the man say that he hope blood dripping weapons were his? What the hell was wrong with him!?
"We would hope for that because it meant these poison weapons were not use on the Fighter." Goblin Slayer said simple unphsyed by her her yelling, Wizard mouth went dry as she tried to process what he just said,
"Poison? Are telling me goblins use poison?" Wizard asked, Goblin Slayer said nothing for a moment as he pick up a unblooded dagger covered in brown goo like slime.
"They make it with a mixture of their own urine and excrement." Goblin Slayer explained and Wizard glub paling at the thought of a blade lace with goblin urine and excrement cutting her.
"Their methods are primitive but the effects are very deadly, once expose you have less then three minutes to take an antidote or you will be beyond saving, the poison quickly begains destroying your organs at a speed making it impossible for the antidote help in time after three minutes have passd." Wizard listen to everything he said and began to feel that goblins may have been really underate of how dangerous they were. Goblins that used poison, she never hear of such a thing! What was next? Goblins that could use magic?
"For now we'll worry about your Priestest and Fighter later." Goblin Slayer said picking up the weapon and adding them to his waist and back much to Wizard's comfusion.
"At any rate, move futher back and get ready, we will have company soon." Goblin Slayer said making her tense, as he continue gathering weapons and hooking them to his person.
"What do you mean?" Wizard asked carefully taking notice of her glasses lying on the ground with her hat noy far from them (One of the lense's have been crack.) she thought annoyed picking them up.
"If we are to believe your Fighter fought off all these goblins on her own then fled, that means none of them reported back, by now the leading goblin has gather his remaining forces and will be coming here." Goblin Slayer explained, Wizard gave a grunt at that as she place her glasses back on and polted her hat on her head after dusting it off, figuring cracked glasses were better then none at all. Moving back a few feet away Wizard ready herself as Goblin set up some kind of rope line close to the ground.
"I take it you want me to deal long range attacks?" Wizard asked, it seem the most logical move for them.
"Yes, when the fighting starts leave the main force of the goblins to be there can noy be many left. Your objective is to find an opening and kill the leading goblins. It will likely be a Shaman." Goblin Slayer replied yet Wizard look at him in confusion.
"Shaman, what kind of goblin is that?" Wizard asked as goblin Slayer began nailing a spike into the floor to quickly set up another trap.
"Shamans are Goblins that have gained the ability to use magic. They often lead nests and are intelligent enough to make crude strategies." Goblin Slayer explained, Wizards mind went blankat what he said (Goblins... are cable of magic...? BULLSHIT!) Wizard exclaimed in her head.
"Impossible! There no way mere goblins can understand something as sophisticated as magic! Let alone use it!" Wizard stated firmly Goblin Slayer paused in his actions to look at the girl for a moment and she was once more remain of how frightening the man was with every little action he did then watch as he sigh as if he was trying to explain something to a child who won't listen.
"It matter not whither you believe me or not. When the fighting starts you will see for yourself." Goblin Slayer said finishing the last of his trap Wizard was annoyed as it felt like he was teating her like a child that didn't know any better.
"One more thing, it would be best if you finish the shaman in one attack. If it come down to a battle of magic, at your currently level and number of spells you are sure to lose." Goblin Slayer stated pulling out a stolen dagger, Wizard blistered at the mere thought of her losing to a goblin in a battle of magic.
"Hey don't look down on me, there no way I-" 'SIKT' Wizard was cut off when Goblin Slayer suddenly threw his dagger off into the darknee only for her to hear the sound of meat being stab and a goblins stubbling into view with a dagger in it chest before dropping dead.
"That 15. A scout, their coming." his mono tone voice never drop a beat as they heard multple foot steps rushing towards them. Wizard tense and had to steel herself as her hands tighten on her staff. It all happened so fast, out of darkness the goblins came rushing forward with the weapon, If she had been given a moment she might have question how goblins were smart enough to use a scour to then rush head first in battle once it was clear he died.
"Tha Shaman will be the on in the back with a mask. Kill him before this get troublesomes." no soon had he said that, the goblins rush into view luckly there was little more then a dozen at this point so she hope this would be ease as she look further to the back of them in indeed so a mask goblin in the back holding a staff.
Wizard frown loom at the goblin which started to chant and a yellow glow appeared around it, (So goblins can you use magic too... what moron gave goblins such a low threat level!? This is the type of shit that get people killed!) Wizard thought enrage as she has already seen enough to know goblins are far more dangerous then what was let on and it had already gotten one of her comrades killed.
"Sagitta, Inflammarae, Radius! Fire Bolt!" Wizard shout sending a bolt of flame at the Shaman who eyes was locked on the Goblin Slayer until he saw the fire bolt heading toward him and quickly turn towards, and shout a chant that sent a bolt of Thunder Bolt at the Fire Bolt, blasting it apart leaving stun Wizard as the bolt just barely missed her and hit the wall behind her, (The goblins... magic is stronger then my own!?) Wizard couldn't believe it, never had she thought a goblin was cable of using magic but not only that, the shamans magic was stronger then her's!? This shouldn't be the case!
"Aim your next two spell's well!" Goblin Slayer call hurling a stone axe at the Shaman, seeing it coming, it jump out of the way but also stop chanting for it next attack aim at Wizard, at that moment a goblin jump on his back 'spouh' only for it to get a shout blade through the eye.
"R-R-Right!" Wizard stutter shaken by the fact she was out class by a goblin, (All not lost yet, his spells may be stronger but his casts are longer so I should be faster to attack him!) Wizard thought as the Shaman kept it eyes train on her, she note with disgust the lust in it eyes as they ran over her body and she could see it licking it tongue. "I don't know how many more spells it has but I need to end this now!" She said holding her staff out, ready her next attack not seeing the goblin that had nearly jump her get impaled with a spear.
Goblin Slayer looked around him, there only four left, ease enough for him to kill however the main problem was the Shaman, they ten to be able to use six to seven spells a day which meant Wizard need to finish it off in the next two attacks!
"Sagitta, Inflammarae, Radius! Fire Bolt!" Wizard screamed as her blaze of fire shoot towards, the Shaman who manage to finish it attack just in time to counter her, once again her spell was over then her eyes widen as she ducked out of the way letting the spell hit the wall behind her!
"Not good! I only have one spell left!" Wizard cried to herself as Goblin Slayer cut down two more goblins, watching the Shaman began chanting for another spell! Finally getting back to her feet Wizard turn to the Shaman and gasp at seeing the yellow glow of it's finished spelled. Goblin Slayer suddenly threw his blade off into the ceiling of the cave cutting the rope of hia trap and allowong a large rock falling from above right into the Shaman's path! Hitting the geound in front of it and knocking it off it feet.
Seeing her opening Wizard quick "Sagitta, Inflammarae, Radius! Fire Bolt!" Wizard screamed sensing out her finally spell, the Shamn gasp one last time as the fire spell hit it head first lighing it on fire and causing it to scream in agony as Wizard watch.
"Well done." Goblin Slayer said cutting down the last of the goblins, Wizard catching her breath looked up at him with a glared of self-loathing.
"Don't patronize me if it hadn't been for your help I would have lost for sure." Wizard sneered hating that a mere goblin had out class her in magic.
"Indeed you have a ways to go before you are ready to stand up to a shaman level goblin but you have potential and show some promise, for now that will have to be enough." Goblin Slayer told the girl while checking his surrounding for anymore goblins left over, Wizard listen to his words, they were harsh and blunt but held a bit of real praise that she felt wasn't being said just to make her feel better. She was a rookie, that much was clear but she wasn't hopeless, that how she take his words and that was something she could accept.
"Thank you." Wizard spoke watching him picking up his fallen torch Goblin Slayer didn't replies as he counted the body.
"Total of 20, this nest is just about finished. Come let move on." Goblin Slayer said Wizard having caught her breath stood up and quickly move to his side.
"Right, lead the way." Wizard spoke. falling a few steps behind, she jad no spells left and had already come closer to death then she cared for, best to be in a safe position to hide should they be attack again.
They continued walking for another ten minutes until they came to a opening and Wizard gasped as she saw for naked woman lying on the ground cover in greenish fluids and cuts and bruises.
"Four of them and still alive, that matches up with what was on the quest." Goblin Slayer notice looking around until his eyes landed on a bunch of crates with supples on them like stolen. Wizard look at the women with pity in her eyes as it was clear from their broken expressions what the goblins did to them.
"Wizard." Goblin Slayer call looking though the stolen supples.
"Though it is unlikely, are your comrades among the victems?" he asked Wizard looking again felt light head for a moment when she didn't see them.
"No, their not." she answered.
"Good then it safe to say that they got away. As long as the Fighter avoided getting posion then you will likely see them again." Goblin Slayer stated, Wizard didn't know if that was meant cheer her up or not be it felt like a great waight was lifted off her heart with his words.
"Thank the Supreme God." Wizard whispered as Goblin Slayer moved away from the crates, "Here, take a look at this." Goblin Slayer said, looking towards him Wizard follwed the man to what looked like a throne of bones.
"Are those human remains?" Wizard asked with a look of disgust about her.
"Hump, nothing more then goblin petty tricks." he said kicking the bones away to reveal a hidden door much to her surprise. Opening it Wizard gasped. as she saw little goblin youngling.
"Goblin... childred?" Wizard asked covering her mouth in shock.
"These creatures multiply quickly before long there would have been around 50 of them and they would have attacked villages in masses." Goblin Slayer stated and Wizard gulp at the thought of a mass attack of goblins on a village, a stomp break her out of it and she felt a chill when she saw Goblin Slayer aproches then menacingly.
"Hey wait! Are you going to kill even the goblin children. That going to far!" Wizard shouted.
"Of course I will. We've destroyed the nest and they will never forget that, the survivors of Nest tend to learn and become stronger." Goblin Slayer replied replied sheathing his sword then pulled out a small bottle.
"Even so, at this stage of their life even if we let them go they can't survive on their own, let's let nature finish them off!" Wizard counter, it went without saying that she hated the monsters, after what they did to Young Warrior she held no love for goblins but killing the childred of anything... even she couldn't bring herself to believe that was okay.
"No, most goblins that lose their nest simple find another one, plus would you be fine with the possiblty of one of them becoming a Hobgoblin or Shaman that leads another nest?" Goblin Slayers words made her body shiver with chills at the thought of any of these goblin children becoming that powerful, clutching her teeth Wizard turn on her heel.
"I don't agree with this! ... ... But I do understand your reasons so fine! Do as you please but at least don't maken them suffer and end it quickly!" Wizard said marching away, Goblin Slayer said nothing as he pulled out young Warrior sword and move towards the cowering younglings.
Wizard as stop half way to collect herself, deep down she knew he was right but that didn't make it any easeir to bare 'SPPPIIISSSHHH' Wizard felt the balie rise in her and quickly covered her ears now wanting to here any more!
Shivering in in place for several minutes with her hands pressed against her ears as she waited for any sigh that the deed was done. That same chill from before when she first mat him cause her to jolt up in place, Wizard turned around and looked towards her back to see... a bloody Goblin Slayer standing behind her with a red souked club in his hand.
"Is it finish?" she asked in a mono tone dropping her arms.
"It is done. There are no more goblins." Goblin Slayer replied slow, Wizard turned away from him trying to collect herself.
"Okay... what about... them." Wizard asked looking at the kiddnapped women.
"There is a large food wheelcart out back, I believe it was stolen from thet village they attack. I'll clear it out and we'll use it to carry them to the temple of healing." Goblin Slayer stated, Wizard nodded as it was a sound plan. Pulling out a stone axe he take from one of the goblins, Wizard was confused when he held it out to her.
"There should be no more goblins but just in case and seeing as your out of spells take this for protection." Goblin Slayer told her, Wizard eye the axe for a moment before looking at the long sword at his waist.
"Very well but... can I take that sword instead? It belong to one of my comrades, so for now I will take it in his place." Wizard stated, Goblin Slayer paused for a moment as he thought on her request he very much doubted she knew anything of swordmenship and a long sword was hardly of any use in a cave. Wizard saw his head turn about a few time as he look around them and wondered if he was going to tell her no, Wizard knew she knew nothing of sword play and has already been shown how much of a bad idea it was to use a long sword in a cave but even so she wanted that blade. It belong to young Warrior and felt that she should take it and honor the Young Warrior by holding on to it in case she ever see Fighter again so she could return it to her.
(Maybe I'm thinking to hard on this, I'll just demaned he give it to me after we finish up on this quest and-) Wizard pause when suddenly Goblin Slayer held out the sword to her.
"Very well, there is enough open space here for use, though you most likely won't need to use it." Goblin Slayer stated Wizard nodded giving him a gateful smile as she take the sword and slid it on the belt at her waist.
"Also there blankets and such over there at the box of crate, use them to clean and cover up the victems while I'm gone." Goblin spoke one last time before turning on his heels and began walking away. Seeing him go Wizard sighed at being put on what she thought of as clean up duty.
"Right... better get to work then." Wizard whispered looking at the victems, pitying them and happy the Priestest and the Fighter weren't among them, yet at the same time worrying for what had become of the two... for now she needed to ready these ladys for the return trip home. Hopefully when they got back some news about Priestest and Fighter would be waiting.
The sunbshine down on the earth brightly as Wizard made her way down the road, it had been three days since she finished her first quest... losing her first team in the process. It's an all-too-common story she heard, a village is attacked by Goblins, some maidens are kidnapped.
Some newbe adventurers, foolishly decide they're going to get rid of those goblins for their first Quest but going and thinking it to be ease knowing nothing of what awaited them, the goblins proved too much and the whole party is slaughtered.
Or maybe just one makes it out and save the girls, during their captivity those girls who were used first to serve the Goblins needs and in despair they entered the temple.
That lone surviving adventurere either fell victem herself and was used as a plaything or the horrors of what she saw scared her much that she slowly slips away from the world and never leaves home again. If Wizard had anything to say about her first quest, it would be that there is nothing exceptional about her story, it happens every day. These life-shattering events happen all the time and her group was just another set of fools in a long list of them.
Having seen the horrors first hand Wizard wondered if she could still maintain the belief in her own magic and in the Supreme goddess of Illusion? Her Weakest place before her in a blunt manner, leaving her no room to argue? She didn't know.
Reaching the guild building Wizard head through the door and right to the receptionist.
"Hello, welcome back, I'm glad to see your looking better." The Guild receptionist stated looking Wizard, the girl had been a mess when she return and in them what happen to her team, to that end Guild Girl sadden as she knew why Wizard was there.
"Thank you, after some rest I'm ready to get back into action..." Wizard paused for a moment before the normally stoic magic user look at the receptionist with hopeful almost pleading eyes.
"Has there... been any word on them?" Wizard asked quitly, Guild Girl sigh sadly and shake her head.
"I'm sorry but there's hasn't been any word on the two as of yet but you will be the first person to know as soon as I hear anything." Guild Girl offered, Wizard said nothing and merely nodded not wanting to let on how disappointed she was. Turning on her heels Wizard began looking around the the Guild hall before spotting a certain fully armored man at a table over looking some requests.
Taking a deep breath she quickly walked over to him, Goblin Slayer looked up to see the young Wizard standing next to him but said nothing of her being there. Wizard gulp stilling finding some what frighting but would not back down.
"I did what you said and bought some protection I choose mithril over chain mail, it offers better protection from sudden stabbing." Wizard said blush ling a bit as she open her top just enough for him to see a bit of it before closing it, for some reason Wizard felt he was frown.
"If that were to be stolen, it would be a problem for others." Goblin Slayer stated, Wizard surprisingly stood her ground.
"Yeah, but you are working off the assumption that we will die in combat, I'd rather go into combat prepare for the worst but knowing I did everything I could to survive it." Wizard counted, Goblin Slayer nothing for a moment.
"Very, well are you coming then?" Goblin Slayer ask standing up with the quest posters in his hand ready to move to the receptionist's, Wizard smile pleased he accepted her choice in protection.
"Yes, have you already picked out the Quests we will be taking." Wizard asked happy he was taking her along without any fuss then smirk as she had a good idea what Quest they would be taking.
"Yes, they will be goblins." Wizard smiled as he spoke, she really didn't know what awaited her, Fame, Fortune, a short-lived career with a quick end or a gruesome death. None of this she she knew but Wizard did know one thing, she was going to continue on as an adventurer. At least until this life of hers comes to an end.
Notes
Okay beginning Arc is finished. Also there something I just realized, a lot of people seem to have only looked at the anime and not the manga, while the manga is indeed more graphic than the anime I feel the need to point out that it showcases a deeper background to priestesses first party as such I want to point out something about Fighter. Many people may be thinking that I have made her bit more power with how she dealt with the goblins however if you actually go ahead and look at the manga you'll see that her power level is exactly where it should be, in the manga fighter was literally capable of tearing goblins apart with her kicks and punches. The only reason she lost was because of that freaking hobgoblin take that away from the equation and fighter has a much higher survival chance or at the very least she has a better chance of not getting gang rape by the freaking goblins. So I believe I more or less kept her context of power the same.
That all for now. Hopefully I'll have the next chapter out soon, till then. Please leave a review.
