I’m not Goblin Slayer Chapter 033

The battle erupted quickly.

Leven, standing at the forefront of the team, raised his shield horizontally in front of him. With a powerful shout, he charged towards the goblin formation with his shield.

Contrary to the clumsy stereotype that his tall and sturdy physique might suggest, Leven charged very quickly, with faint white air currents visible along the edges of his shield.

He was like a large truck at full throttle, plowing directly into the goblin formation with his oak shield.

Behind him and on his flanks, Doyle, Gauss, and Daphne followed closely.

“Thud!”

Leven, with his full momentum and weight, directly collided with several goblins holding small wooden shields at the front.

After a very brief struggle.

The immense power within Leven erupted like a submarine volcano!

Five wooden-shield goblins were directly sent flying by Leven swinging his large shield!

Gauss, following behind Leven, had a look of admiration flash in his eyes.

In actual combat, Leven’s “Great Shield Charge” was much more effective than during training. Perhaps it was because of the feedback from the targets, making it seem full of explosive power.

The five wooden-shield goblins flew out, groaning and rolling several times on the ground, their wooden clubs and small round shields falling away.

Seeing the goblins about to pick up their weapons and shields.

Doyle leaped out from behind, raising his longsword and slashing down.

“Swish!”

A cold light flashed.

The next moment, a terrifying bloody gash ran diagonally across the goblin’s entire body from its left shoulder. The horrifyingly large wound instantly robbed the goblin of its strength to struggle.

The goblin flew backward and never got up again.

“So fast!”

Gauss was a little anxious.

The five wooden-shield goblins were routed by Leven’s skill, and their combat power was now greatly reduced.

Although his stamina was good, his explosive power was inferior to Doyle’s.

Gauss’s figure only arrived after Doyle had already slashed one goblin to death with a single sword.

But it wasn’t too late.

A goblin in front of him was struggling to get up, clutching a wooden shield and a wooden club with its back turned.

Gauss, of course, wouldn’t miss this excellent opportunity. He exerted force with his arm and wrist, and his rapier directly pierced its back.

The sharp rapier entered through its lower back, effortlessly like piercing tofu, followed by muscle, intestines, and lower abdomen.

The rapier pierced the goblin straight through like a candied hawthorn skewer!

“Waaah!!” The goblin, not yet fully standing, was caught off guard by this sudden sneak attack, letting out a shrill scream.

Gauss controlled the rapier, stirring it quickly inside the goblin’s body, then swiftly pulled it out.

Sticky blood mixed with some brown unknown substance gurgled out from its wound.

“Killed Goblin * 1”

“Total Monsters Killed: 19”

Another one!

Killing such effortless and easy targets made Gauss feel pleasant.

Unfortunately, before he could continue to pick up kills.

The spear goblins, originally behind the wooden-shield goblins, bypassed Leven, who was holding off the steel-blade goblins, and rushed quickly towards Gauss, gripping their spears!

A twisted but sharply edged stone spear, carried by the wind, thrust towards Gauss.

Gauss, sensing the attack, his mind raced.

The scenery in his vision was slowing down little by little.

He was no longer the novice who had just arrived in this world and sneak-killed a goblin. Facing such an attack, he appeared to be at ease.

He took a step, dodging his body in another direction.

Then, he seized the moment when the spear goblin, having missed its target, was stiff.

He activated Mage Hand, pulling the goblin, whose body had not yet fully regained balance.

Under normal circumstances, this pull might have had a mediocre effect, but at this moment, it was an excellent effect as the enemy was in that awkward state where old strength was gone, and new strength had not yet arisen.

The goblin was directly pulled into a stumble, losing its balance.

“Pfft!”

Gauss’s rapier once again pierced the goblin’s lower abdomen, stirred, and pulled out, a set of movements as smooth as flowing water.

His experience in killing goblins was growing.

“Killed Goblin * 1”

“Total Monsters Killed: 20”

Gauss’s gaze quickly swept across the battlefield.

He suddenly glimpsed Doyle sending a goblin flying along with its shield, which happened to be heading in his direction.

“I’ll help you!”

He rushed over in large strides, before Doyle could.

His rapier pierced the heart of the goblin, which was lying on the ground, temporarily incapacitated.

“Killed Goblin * 1”

“Total Monsters Killed: 21”

Doyle blinked when he saw this scene.

“Thanks.”

He felt like something was off.

Never mind, since Gauss helped, they should hurry up and deal with the other goblins.

…

Less than ten minutes passed in a flash.

The battle ended quickly.

Gauss raised an eyebrow, looking at the green-skinned corpses with dismembered limbs scattered across the ground.

He calmed his breathing.

This battle was unexpectedly easy, so easy that he found it a little hard to believe.

Perhaps this was the efficiency of teamwork?

Besides the one goblin he “assisted” Doyle in snatching later, he also remotely dealt with an archer goblin targeting him with a magic missile.

In this few-minute frontal battle, utilizing the team’s advantages, especially the opportunities created by Leven and Doyle, he easily killed a total of 5 goblins.

The total number of monsters killed reached 23.

This was already close to half of the target of 50.

Recalling the battle, the only danger was surprisingly the last arrow shot by the archer goblin that targeted him.

However, he dodged it, and it grazed his gauntlet.

Fortunately, his leather armor was sturdy, and he was not injured.

The archer goblin was then blasted to death by a magic missile he fired in return.

He also thought about it: after ambushing and killing 6 goblins without taking damage, there were only 14 goblins left in total.

Their squad had a full 6 members. Excluding Daphne, who was slightly weaker in frontal combat, everyone had a great advantage against goblins.

Each person possessed one to two attributes beyond the average human’s capabilities, wore leather armor or better protection, had greater strength, faster speed, and sharper, well-maintained weapons.

This disparity was something that 14 against 6 could not compensate for.

After quickly and cleanly dealing with the goblins, the group rested on the spot for a bit, then unhurriedly began to clean up the battlefield.

First, they each collected their quest items: the goblins’ left ears.

Using daggers and small knives, everyone one by one cut off the goblins’ large and pointed left ears.

Just by looking at their skilled movements, it was clear that everyone present, except Gauss, was experienced, having cut off countless goblin ears.

The ears were collected, and the small bag became bulging.

The task they accepted this time had a good unit price; each goblin’s bounty was 1 silver coin.

This small bag was 20 silver coins.

Each person could get about 3 or slightly more silver coins.

It might not sound like much, but to put it another way, this quest reward was enough for Gauss to stay at Sophia’s Inn, with food and lodging, and slack off for 2 months.

And they only needed to be out for three days, most of which was spent traveling. The actual work time—scouting, setting traps, and killing monsters—added up to less than 2 hours.

Work for 3 days, and lie flat for 2 months. If the “Three Great Gods” from his previous life knew about this kind of income, even if it was a bit dangerous, they might be attracted to pack their bags and come.

Moreover, their gains from this trip were far from over.

The goblin spoils, their weapons, could sell for a good amount of money. This part of the income, not included in the official reward, was also very considerable.

The only thing Gauss regretted was that the two most valuable steel blades were severely damaged, so they probably wouldn’t fetch a particularly high price.
