The Doom Slayer stared at the darkness in front of him. He could hear the scream and screeches of the goblins the man behind him told him before. They're a creature that are as tall as a children, have a green skin, and has the intelligence of a child.
Overall, they're not a dangerous enemy to the Doom Slayer—he has fought something worse—something like this possess no threat to him.
There, he saw his enemy, charging towards him with a stone club in his hands. But the Doom Slayer will not wait for them to get close. He charged towards the goblins, surprising the Priestess. When she wanted the Goblin Slayer to try to stop the Doom Slayer—she was shocked with what she was seeing.
The shotgun that the Doom Slayer held blasted the goblins to smithereens. Killing them in a single shot. One of them tried to jump him from behind, but the Doom Slayer reactes quickly and turned his body around, his left hand grabbing the neck of the unfortunate goblin.
he then proceeds to slam that goblin to the ground, he liftes his right foot and smashed the goblin head with it. The goblin head split open like a watermelon being hit by a stick. Brain tissue and blood dying his green armor red.
The Goblin Slayer then joined the action. He charged towards two goblins, he throwed his sword to the goblins in his right, then bashed the goblin in his left with his shield. Using the edges to hit it to death.
The Priestess are already used to how the Goblin Slayer deal with things. But she was definitely not used with how the Doom Slayer deal with his enemies.
The only way she could describe it was brutal. There was no hesitation what so ever to kill. From a glance she knew that the Doom Slayer had perhaps slain many enemies in his life. But what kind of enemy—only the Doom Slayer himself know.
"Is that all?" Asked the Doom Slayer, turning his heads towards the Goblin Slayer standing beside him.
"Usually, there's more of them, a hobgoblin should be accompanying them if it's the usual goblins party ambush."
Just as the Goblin Slayer finished talking, they heard a growl not far from them. Without asking, the Doom Slayer knew that it must be the hobgoblin the Goblin Slayer talking about. So he reloaded his shotgun and prepared himself for the upcoming battle.
Though, it was named hobgoblin, they doesn't have any resemblance of goblins except the green skin that they have. The hobgoblin standing in front of them have huge muscle and holding a big iron sword. Just one careless move could potentially kill the Goblin Slayer, but not enough to kill the Doom Slayer.
The Doom Slayer charged first again, he shot towards the hobgoblin right knee, limiting his movement speed with just one shot. The Goblin Slayer followed later, he charged and jumped towards the hobgoblin head, trying to stab it with a crude stone sword he picked up from thw ground.
Unfortunately, the hobgoblin managed to evade that attack by swatting the Goblin Slayer using the blunt side of his sword. The hobgoblin laughed in mockery at the failed attempt of the Goblin Slayer. But, he has forgotten that there is one enemy left standing in front of him. He was no longer holding his shotgun, but instead—he was holding nothing—both of his fist are clenched.
Before the hobgoblin could react, a fist came flying on his face, knocking him back several meter.
The hobgoblin are surprised at the strength that the Doom Slayer have. But his shock soon turned into anger. It lifted it's large sword and swung it towards the Doom Slayer—hoping to kill it with this one attack.
The Doom Slayer ducked and then dashed forward. He used his body to ram towards the hobgoblin. Making it fall to the ground, its sword are thrown away and nowhere to be seen.
The Doom Slayer said nothing. He repeatedly punched the hobgoblin face. Blood splattered on his helmet and suit. The Priestess and the Goblin Slayer only watched as the Doom Slayer punched the hobgoblin to death.
After he was done, there was not much more left of the hobgoblin face, it was like a mashed potatoes. It was a horrifying sight to see, but the Priestess and the Goblin Slayer seems to handle it just fine. Did they already seen something similar like this before?
Both of the Doom Slayer gloves are soaked with the hobgoblin bloods and brain tissue. It was disgusting. But the Doom Slayer just shrugged it off, something like this are a normal thing for him.
"Is that all?" The Doom Slayer asked again. This time, to make sure the wave of goblins has truly ended.
"Yes, now we go back to town to get the reward from completing the quest." Answered the Goblin Slayer.
"Quest?"
"Yes, quest, it was a job offered by the Guild for us adventurers. Though, what kind of job that you can take is different depending on what rank you are." This time it was the Priestess that answered.
The Doom Slayer nodded his head. There was a lot of things that the Doom Slayer don't know about. It annoyed him for a little bit, but he will learn about it in the future. Just like usual.
The Goblin Slayer turned around and lead the way to the exit of the caves. Outside, the sun are shining bright upon the trio. It feels refreshing, even though he couldn't feel the sunlight directly, but the comfortable feeling is still there.
The three of them walked towards the town. On their way to the town, they passed many travellers and adventurers alike. Weird glances are being directed towards the Doom Slayer. It was normal, the armor that he wore are not something that they have seen before, it was strange. But for some reason, the weaker adventurer feels scared when they got caught staring by the Doom Slayer.
They then arrived at the Guild a few minutes later. Many adventurers could be seen talking with each other or recruiting people into their team. When the trio arrived, some people attention are glued to the Doom Slayer. Especially with the armor he's wearing.
It's just like before. The only differences are some people are more curious rather than scared. From the looks of it, they're perhaps the high ranked adventurer that the Priestess told him about.
"Ah! Mr. Goblin Slayer! Have you finished your mission?"
"Yes."
Stoic as usual, the Doom Slayer could almost see himself in the Goblin Slayer. Perhaps, they have something in common in their lives?
"Well, since you've finished your mission, here's the reward for the mission that you completed."
The Guild Girl handed a sack of coins towards the Goblin Slayer. She then noticed the Doom Slayer standing behind the Goblin Slayer. She was confused with how she couldn't see the Doom Slayer who's clearly taller than the Goblin Slayer, is it because she was too distracted with the Goblin Slayer in front of her?
"Ah, if I may ask, who is this fellow behind you?"
All of the people attention inside the Guild hall are now focused on the Doom Slayer. But under those numerous gaze, he did not flinch or feel embarrassed. Such emotion are long gone.
"My name is—"
Since the Doom Slayer are supposed to be us—the player—I don't know if I should name him or not. It would be weird if the Doom Slayer just said his title.
