Goblin Slayer Side Story Year One Vol 3 Light Novel

THE DIE IS CAST. Guild Girl summons Goblin Slayer to discuss his promotion—and introduces him to a beautiful woman in men’s clothing: the proctor who will oversee his exam! This colleague of hers doubts Goblin Slayer’s accomplishments, which consist entirely of slaying goblins, and she has come all the way from the capital to test him herself. Goblin Slayer soon ends up in an impromptu adventuring party with Examiner where he gets a glimpse of her spiked chain weapon and her history in the Dungeon of the Dead. Together, they hunt down a growing horde of goblins attacking a nearby village and plunge straight into the nest!

After his sister is brutally murdered during a goblin raid, a young boy swears vengeance upon the creatures who killed her and the rest of his village. Five years later and now a novice adventurer, he is by chance reunited with his childhood friend, another survivor of the massacre. Despite his inexperience, crude battle gear, and low rank, the boy sets off alone on a mission to defeat a lair of goblins--thus begins the origin story of how he came to be known as Goblin Slayer!

For the sake of his fallen party member, Rookie Warrior puts his life on the line in the fierce battle against the Rock Eater. Meanwhile, as the rain pours down on a small village in the foothills, thunder and pale-blue light rend the evening sky to shreds, and a certain young adventurer kills goblins one by one. Who knows what perils lie in wait for him there...

It's the final showdown with the rock eater, but who's walking away from this fight? Read the next chapter of Goblin Slayer Side Story: Year One the same day as Japan!

Meanwhile, Rookie Warrior heads into an abandoned mine with a gaggle of inexperienced but fearless adventurers-can he protect this newly formed party from ending up like his last one when they come under attack from an unexpected and deadly threat?! And the women in Goblin Slayer's life show some concern about all the time he's spending with Arc Mage...

After protecting a village from a horde of goblins, a certain young man is called Goblin Slayer for the first time.

The one about goblins, of course! With a single ring-and a single light-a brand-new story begins.

Not so very long ago, the Death began stalking the continent. The King of Time issued aproclamation: "Find the source of this Death and seal it away."The source: the Dungeon of the Dead.

While the novice warriors embark on a Rock Eater quest, the armored man, having left behind the remnants of his youth, drenches himself in the blood of freshly slain goblins. His old friend, who bears witness to this change, laments the divide that has formed between them and resolves to turn over a new leaf.
