Goblin Slayer puts us in the context of a world devastated by the constant threat of goblins, creatures known for their cruelty, cunning and ability to reproduce quickly. Despite the fact that the most experienced adventurers often underestimate goblin-related quests in favor of those offering greater rewards. These beings represent a veritable plague that terrorizes the most vulnerable communities, kidnapping women, causing chaos wherever they pass.
This is when a brave priestess of only 15 years of age enters the scene. On her first mission as an adventurer and her fate becomes intertwined with that of a group of novice adventurers, full of optimism and courage, who have decided to eradicate a goblin tribe accused of the disappearance of several women in a nearby village. However, their inexperience and lack of preparation lead them into an ambush deep inside a goblin cave, where they find themselves in grave danger. But when all hope seems lost, an unexpected savior emerges: the dreaded Goblin Slayer.
The Goblin Slayer, a Silver-ranked warrior whose name instills respect and fear in equal measure, not only saves the priestess from an impending doom, but also eradicates the entire goblin colony with impressive efficiency. Inviting the young priestess to join his mission to wipe out the goblin plague, the Goblin Slayer embarks on a tireless crusade to assist the Adventurer’s Guild in all matters concerning these monsters.
Together with a diverse team of companions, including a high elf, a dwarf and a lizard man, this unyielding warrior will not stop until the last of these creatures are exterminated from the borderlands.
