Chapter 154: Entering the caves

Having satisfied his curiosity about his new weapon Eldrian set off towards the caves with everyone else. 

As they neared the caves, he stopped everyone and said, "I feel like I should go in first. Similar to when we first started, we have no idea what is waiting inside. I'd rather be on the safe side."

No one argued, they all understood that this would be the safest method. Taking a deep breath, Eldrian took out his arming sword and the small round shield he still had. Feeling that they would work better inside the caves than the greatsword, he also believed they would work well against normal goblins. He was just afraid that it might struggle to hurt goblin knights or Oni. The latter hopefully no longer being in the caves.

At the cave entrance, he took one more deep breath as he saw that the entrance was empty. Not completely empty, since the corpses of some goblins still littered it. But no alive ones were insight.
