Hope in Another World 132

Title: Rescue

Goblin Cave

A team of newly entered adventurers was under attack.

The female warrior in the front line was entangled with several goblins. The swordsman protected the priestess from being killed by the goblins.

“Damn it!”

The female warrior in the front line who suffered the most attacks suffered injuries from being surrounded on all sides.

The unfortunate novice adventurer, who wasn’t protected by full armor, was hit on the back of his head with a stone by a goblin maneuvering around him. He was so dizzy that he staggered back and fell to the ground.

Suddenly a large goblin appeared, even causing the petite female warrior to look up.

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts so much...! Let go, ah!?”

The enemy casually threw her against the cave wall. The sound of a dry object shattering. The female warrior was in so much pain that she couldn’t even make a sound, and then she was thrown against the wall on the other side.

The female warrior vomited blood-mixed vomit and was thrown to the ground. The remaining goblins immediately swarmed her.

The female warrior cried loudly, but was mercilessly beaten with countless sticks. The goblins showed no mercy to the adventurers who came to kill them.

As the warrior fell to the ground, the goblins quickly piled on top of her. Polished stones, broken sword blades, and even bones continued to pierce the female warrior’s vital points.

On the other side, the female swordsman who was desperately fighting as she smelled the rich blood and screamed in fear. She swung her sword desperately, but the goblin found an opportunity and threw her to the ground.

The Sword Maiden, whose hands and feet were weak with fear, wanted to cast a spell, but the goblin hit her head with a stone without hesitation.

They all wanted to swarm and pounce on this gentle girl.

The blood of the female swordsman, the screams of the female warrior being beaten with wooden sticks, and the nightmare after being captured by goblins made the Sword Maiden almost despair.

“Who, who will save me...” She whimpered.

Along with her prayer, a sudden gust of wind blew through the entire cave.

At this moment, the beaten and injured female warrior, the severely injured female swordsman, and the Sword Maiden saw an extraordinary sight.

A group of goblins, including the very large goblin, turned into pieces of flesh and blood under the gust of wind.

A group of flames as bright as the sun appeared inside the dark cave. The Sword Maiden saw light in the darkness. Especially when she saw the young man’s handsome face, she was unconsciously distracted by it.

“Give this to your friend to drink.”

Shun’s words interrupted the dazed Sword Maiden. As the potion vial was thrown, the Sword Maiden unconsciously caught it and quickly poured it into her severely injured companion.

Shun looked at the Sword Maiden, imagining what the girl looked like with her eyes closed, and then decided that he had saved the right person.

A 15-year-old blonde girl with a well-developed body and almost the same divine feeling in the original work.

Thinking about this, Shun stepped on a torch on one side and walked towards the female warrior, who was dressed in rags and full of wounds from the beating. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her clothes still intact underneath.

It’s just that such injuries were nothing, at least they wouldn’t be a lifelong nightmare.

As the medicine in his hand was sprinkled, the wounds all over the female warrior’s body were visible. She jumped in shock as she felt this. At the same time, the female swordsman, who had recovered from her injuries, was also supported by the Sword Maiden.

“If you can go, leave here as soon as possible.”

“You... don’t need help?”

“No, staying here will only be a burden.”

Both girls lowered their heads in shame and unconsciously pulled their tattered clothes.

“I... I know Holy Light and Minor Heal, and there are still two miracles left to use today,”

The Sword Maiden raised her hand weakly.

Supernatural skills in the Goblin Slayer World weren’t a common magic system, but a slot system. There was a limit to the number of magic or miracles that each priestess could use per day.

However, as a candidate for the High Priest of the Water City’s Highest Temple and a gold-level adventurer who conquered the Demon King, her talent allowed her to have slots far exceeding ordinary people.

“Okay, follow me.”

After Shun finished speaking, he looked at the female warrior.

“Your wounds have completely healed. Go back with your friend soon.”

After the potion from the Danmachi World took effect, their condition was probably better than before they came here. As long as they didn’t seek death, there would be no problem returning the same way.

As for what they would do in the future, Shun wouldn’t care.

After finishing speaking, he gestured for the Sword Maiden to follow him. He held a magical stone lamp and stepped into the depths of the goblin lair without hesitation.

With Shun’s perception, the so-called dark lair was as clear as day.

From the perspective of the Sword Maiden who was following closely, Shun waved his hand every now and then, and light blue wind blades flew out, and the goblins came from the darkness that couldn’t be seen clearly with screams.

‘This level of strength... Ruby? Bronze? Or... Silver-level adventurer?’

“Um, are you a silver-level adventurer? This wind blade of yours must have Divine Protection.”

Shun’s extraordinary performance made this crusade feel like a leisurely stroll, and the initially nervous Sword Maiden couldn’t help but ask.

“No, I just registered as an adventurer, so my rank is white porcelain.”

After Shun finished clearing all the goblins in the lair’s corridor, he answered the question, but then he stopped in his tracks when he realized what the Sword Maiden said.

“Did you just say Divine Protection?”

“Our kingdom practices slot-based magic, but I heard that the powerful kingdoms near the monster forest all practice magic that is not bound by slots. However, your wind blade doesn’t feel like magic when used. When uttered, it feels like the power of protection for those favored on that day in the neighboring Kingdom of Lugnica.”

“I heard that some people there who have Divine Protection can use wind, water, and fire powers at will without learning magic, and they also have more magical abilities.”

Shun digested the news for a while, and couldn’t help but move the corner of his mouth.

He never expected this Goblin Slayer World to also include Re:Zero, but it was alright. At least Rem and Emilia could meet.

“This is getting more and more interesting...”

He said softly, then quickened his pace and led the Sword Maiden to the final goblin hall.

As the two emerged, the goblins in the middle of the lair and the shaman controlling the group immediately jumped up and shouted.

The next moment, before these filthy creatures could scream, a cluster of flames flew out from Shun’s fingertips, and a violent explosion swept through the hall, throwing these goblins against the walls and throwing them to the ground like rags.

The girl following him was so shocked that she couldn’t speak as she saw the corpses and scattered flames on the ground.

“Don’t be dazed, this is a good opportunity to practice.”

Shun patted the stunned Sword Maiden’s shoulder and pointed to the goblins lying on the ground in the hall.

“I held back. There must be some still alive among these goblins. Go and kill them yourself.”

Shun took out a short sword from his personal space and threw it to the young Sword Maiden.

“You know what to do next, right?”

“Yes.”

The Sword Maiden recalled the previous encounter. She gritted her teeth when she thought about the tragic future if Shun hadn’t arrived.

The next scene was very uninteresting. Almost the cave wall was stained with blood. However, after doing these things, the Sword Maiden seemed to have changed, and her whole temperament had changed from an immature novice to a much more mature one.

Perhaps this was also the reason why she would achieve extraordinary achievements in the future. That rapid growth made Shun quite satisfied.

The goblins in this world weren’t a species that could get along well with humans, their habit of not giving birth and their way of reproduction borrowed from human women meant that the two would never find the possibility of coexisting.

As Goblin Slayer said in the original work – maybe there are good goblins, but for humans, only dead goblins are good goblins.

What happened next was naturally much easier. It was nothing more than destroying the lair and handing over the task.

It’s worth mentioning that the two teammates of the Sword Maiden both chose to quit the ranks of adventurers.

As for the Sword Maiden, who was the only one left, it was only natural for her to join Shun.

“In this case, will Takema and I form a team?”

The Sword Maiden, who had returned to her normal state, looked at the form handed over by the receptionist with wide eyes.

“Yes, the two of you have formed a new team. In the future, other mages and other team members can be recruited to complete the team. They can also take on higher-level tasks.”

The receptionist said this and glanced at Shun, who had finished this goblin mission. Although goblins were weak, adventurers who could destroy the entire lair didn’t have to deal with white porcelain-ranked missions.

“So, are there any goblin missions next?”

Shun’s words made the receptionist and the Sword Maiden’s expressions stiff.

“Goblin missions? Do you want more?”

“This kind of thing is very disgusting. I plan to kill some more in a few days to train the newcomers.”

Shun said with a smile while looking at the ninjutsu he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Shadow Clone Technique.

Because his progress was too fast, or because the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and Wood Element were too powerful, most ninjutsu didn’t have much effect on Shun, and were rarely used.

And this Shadow Clone Technique had been sealed by Shun. But now if he wanted to completely eliminate the goblins, there was no doubt that Shadow Clone was a good choice.

The chakra generated by Otsutsuki Kaguya’s physical level was enough to create ten to twenty thousand shadow clones. Shun didn’t believe he couldn’t destroy these disgusting goblins within a week!
