Ending Theme: アルカテイル - Konomi Suzuki
-The sight of Goblin Slayer and his group were seen fighting a group of Hobgoblins in a cave as the group were surrounded and outnumbered by the Goblins within the cave. Both the Lizard Shaman and Goblin Slayer got up close to a few Goblins and killed a few dozen of them but they would just keep coming as the Elf Archer would light one of her arrows and fire it at a Hob Goblin, igniting the beast in flames as it would fall on top of a few smaller Goblins and crushed them with its large body while lighting the area with the flames on its body-
Elf Archer: Tsk! There's just too many!
Priestess: G-Goblin Slayer-san!
Goblin Slayer: We may have underestimated their numbers, fall back.
Dwarf Shaman: To hear the Beardcutter asking us to retreat is a hell of a surprise!
Lizard Shaman: I agree but we should really fall back or we will all die in here!
Priestess: But what about the dragon roar from outside?!
Goblin Slayer: We'll deal with that once we're outside, for now, we must leave! -He said as he toss some oil at the Goblins and threw his torch at the monsters, igniting many of them on fire as the group would escape but as soon as they turned back, they stopped as two Hobgoblins appeared with another group of lesser Goblins with them-
Elf Archer: We're surrounded!
Dwarf Shaman: -He would walk up as he got ready to use one of his spells but Goblin Slayer would pull the Dwarf back, telling him not to use the spell- Wha-?! Hey! What are ya doing?!
Goblin Slayer: If you use your sleep spell in a enclosed space like this, we'll all fall asleep and we'll get killed by the Goblins behind us. Leave this to me.
Lizard Shaman: And me. -He said as he took out his bone-blade while standing behind Goblin Slayer-
-Goblin Slayer's eyes glowed red as he'd slowly walk up to the Goblins, preparing to attack but a powerful force would hit the monsters, killing them as the force was a bright light that turned the monsters into ashes-
Elf Archer: W-What was that?!
Dwarf Shaman: Was that Satan's power?!
Lizard Shaman: I do not think that now is the time to be joking around!
-The sight of two bright orange glowing eyes were seen deep within the darkness as the group were cautious of what will appear as they then saw a man in pure matte black and orange armour as he had long black hair with a streak of orange stripes on his long ponytail and had glowing orange eyes. He walked towards the group and looked at them as he was around the same height as the Goblin Slayer, both males stared at each other as their eyes glowed as the man with the glowing eyes would exhale out steam from his nostrils as he would walk past the group and walked down the path where the Goblins were coming from-
Elf Archer: Ah! H-Hey! I wouldn't go down there if I were you!
Priestess: Y-Yes! The Goblins down there will swarm you!
Man: I do not fear those lesser creatures. They should fear me. -The man said as balls of fire would appear around the man as he continued walking down the tunnel and would fire the balls towards the tunnel as it would kill a few Goblins up ahead as the sound of Goblins screaming in pain were heard from deep within the cave-
Lizard Shaman: W-What is that man?
Goblin Slayer: If he's going to slay the Goblins for us, I won't bother him, for now, we must head to the surface.
Dwarf Shaman: I could use a bit of sunshine! Let's go! -The dwarf said as the group quickly leave the cave-
-As the group were resting outside after they had reached the surface from entering the cave, they felt the ground shake along with the sound of explosions deep within the cave as the group began to worry slightly-
Priestess: That man...He was odd..
Lizard Shaman: Extremely odd but he seemed very skilful and powerful.
Dwarf Shaman: You can say that again. That dark matte coloured armour is definitely rare..
Elf Archer: What armour was he using anyway? He didn't have a helmet like you, Orcbolg.
Goblin Slayer: He was using Adamantite armour, the strongest tier of metal known to mankind.
Dwarf Shaman: Adamantite?! The stuff that's tougher than Titanium and Steel?!
Goblin Slayer: Yes, he was definitely using that armour, since the heat he produces with his magic did not cause any burns on his armour and with such intense heat, regular armour would melt in an instant.
Lizard Shaman: Could he be an adamantite class adventurer?
Priestess: He didn't have a tag on him.
Elf Archer: He's a stray then?
Goblin Slayer: Possibly but I would suggest that we keep away from such a person, we do not know what they are capable of doing to us if we are not careful. -The Priestess would hold onto the Goblin Slayer's pouch lightly as everyone else agreed as the five of them would return back to the town's Guild Hall to report back of the quest. Once the group returned and explained the situation to the Guild Girl, the group were not able to receive their money as they would then hang out at one of the lounges' table-
Elf Archer: God this sucks! We couldn't even get a single coin from all of that hard work!
Lizard Shaman: Well, we were interrupted by the stray wandering man and we overestimated our skills in that tunnel along with the number of Goblins were in the cave.
Priestess: Goblin Slayer-san, did you know how many Goblins were there inside that cave?
Goblin Slayer: I counted 83. The amount the five of us have killed. It could be a horde of hundreds within that cave but we were lucky that they were cautious of us and that the man appeared to kill them..
Dwarf Shaman: The hell ya saying?! We didn't get a single bit of money from it!
Goblin Slayer: There is nothing we can do about it, now deal with it.
Dwarf Shaman: Tsk!
Priestess: But still, that man was extremely odd.
-The sound of the entrance door opening was heard as everyone turned their attention to the door to see the sight of the same man that Goblin Slayer and his friends saw. The man took a deep breath from his mouth and exhaled out steam as he would walk past the counter and head straight towards Goblin Slayer's group whilst being stared at by the dozens of other adventurers in the Guild Hall-
Woman adventurer: He's quite hot..
Young girl adventurer: He's handsome too~
Man: I have a personal request for you. Orcgald.
Elf Archer: -She gasped as she stood up and drew out her bow quickly and aimed an arrow right at the man's head- You, where did you learn that language?
Man: -He turned his attention to the High Elf Archer as he glared at the female with his bright orange eyes- I have no business with you, child.
Elf Archer: A child?! I'll have you know that I'm two thousand years old! And if you're going to use the languages of the Dark Elves right in front of me, then you got another thing coming! -The other adventurers got up with their weapons up to support the Elf girl as they were pumped to fight-
Dwarf Shaman: Dark Elf language? What are you talking about, Long Ears? I thought all elves had the same language?
Elf Archer: In a social sense, we all share the same language speech but the Dark Elves have once spoke the tongue of the dark lords of the undead. The forbidden language that should never be spoke of! And I will not let you speak to Orcbolg in such manner!
Priestess: P-Please calm down! There is no need to cause a fight in here!
Adventurer 1: If you're causing a problem with our Elf girl, then you're causing a problem with us too, mate!
Other adventurers: Yeah!
Man: -He would ignore everyone and stare at Goblin Slayer as he would then speak out to the man- I have a request.
Goblin Slayer: What is it?
Man: I'd like a personal escort to the Northern mountains.
Goblin Slayer: Which mountain?
Man: Altair.
Priestess: A-Altair...?
Goblin Slayer: What is the place? -He asked as he turned to the Priestess-
Priestess: It's a forbidden mountain..
Lizard Shaman: A forbidden mountain?
Priestess: Yes, it's where the...Great Kings of Centurion died when the dark Overlord Dragon killed them all..
-Everyone in the guild hall went completely silent-
Goblin Slayer: Why do you want us to escort you there?
Man: I was told that you five were the most skilled fighters and adventurers in this town. I'm willing to offer this much and I'll pay for all expenses. -The man said as he took out a large bag of gold coins within the bag as he dropped it on the table-
Goblin Slayer:...I..
Lizard Shaman: Will there be Goblins at the mountain?
Man: We will be going through a few towns and forests that will be filled with Goblins, you can take as many quests as you like while we're at the towns as long as we get to reach our destination.
Elf Archer: I decline! Why the hell would I wanna work with some guy who just spoke the tongue of the Dark Elves' forbidden tongue?!
Lizard Shaman: I'd like to join in this quest.
Dwarf Shaman: Me too!
Priestess: Goblin Slayer-san..
Goblin Slayer: I'll accept the quest.
Priestess: I-If he's going then I shall follow him as well!
Elf Archer: Wha-?! You guys betraying me or something?!
Goblin Slayer: It is your decision if you do not want to follow us. You can stay here.
Elf Archer: W-Wait! No! I-I'm going too!
Dwarf Shaman: Aww~ What changed ye mind?
Elf Archer: Shut up, fatty. -She said as she irritatedly walked out of the Guild hall with the group as the man followed behind-
Priestess: By the way, do you have a name? -The blonde girl asked the armoured man as he would speak softly-
Man: I do not have a name..
Priestess: Eh? What should we call you then?
"Soul." -Said the man as the Priestess smiled passionately at the male while walking beside him as Goblin Slayer was walking beside the Priestess, making sure that she was safe as the group would head out on their adventure-
