"Mr. Goblin Slayer! Are you okay?"
Emerging from the tunnel of the Goblin lair, the girl priest, drenched and with her robe clinging to her form, supported the weakened Goblin Slaying Knight. Her concern was evident in her tear-filled eyes. During the recent skirmish, the Goblin Slayer had shielded her with his body, now battered and bruised from the tumultuous escape through the sea water, his internal injuries evident from his labored breathing.
"Flee... we must keep moving..." the Goblin Slayer urged, his voice a mere whisper.
The girl priest, her face marked with fear and tears, aided the injured hero, their pace hampered by his injuries.
Suddenly, a chilling laugh pierced the air. "Jie Jie Jie, I finally found you!"
Dick, the Goblin Shaman, emerged from the shadows with a sinister smile, his presence exuding the malevolence befitting his role.
