Goblin Killer

Goblin Slayer synopsis

Goblins are known for their ferocity, cunning, and rapid reproduction, but their reputation as the meanest of monsters means their threat goes overlooked. These hideous creatures raid rural civilizations to kidnap females of other species for breeding, and are free to continue their assault while adventurers turn a blind eye in favor of more worthwhile tasks with greater rewards. To commemorate her first day as a porcelain adventurer, the 15-year-old priestess joins a group of enthusiastic young novices to investigate a tribe of goblins responsible for the disappearance of several village women. Unprepared and inexperienced, the group soon faces their inevitable death from an ambush while exploring a cave.

With no one else left, the terrified priestess accepts her fate – until the Goblin Slayer unexpectedly shows up not only to rescue her with little effort, but to destroy the entire goblin nest. As the holder of the prestigious Silver rank, the Goblin Slayer allows you to accompany him as he assists the Adventurers’ Guild in all Goblin-related matters. Along with the Priestess, High Elf, Dwarf, and Lizardman, the armored warrior will not rest until all kobolds in the frontiers are wiped out forever.
