The man, who was desperately defending his home, was surrounded.
With a push from his legs, the cells, reinforced by magic, gave Shiraishi Kawa a burst of power that was almost difficult to adapt to. He sprinted behind the Goblin and swung the Holy Sword in his hand.
The dark red blade swept through.
Without giving these Goblins a chance to resist, their severed bodies fell to the ground, and dark red, foul-smelling blood continuously flowed out.
"This…"
The middle-aged man, who had already sustained some injuries from passively defending, hadn't even reacted. He looked in disbelief at Shiraishi Kawa's figure in the sunlight.
He must be an Adventurer who came to help, right?
Temporarily setting aside the gratitude deep in his heart, the man shouted to the people organizing the defense in the village: "Hold on, we have Adventurer support!!!"
"…"
And the villagers, who were originally resisting the Goblins, seeing the hope of survival right before their eyes, erupted with tenacious resilience, protecting their families.

"You have successfully killed a Goblin scout, gaining 200 experience points."
"You have successfully killed a Goblin, gaining 130 experience points."
Ignoring the experience gained from killing Goblins, there were still many monsters in the village that needed to be dealt with, so Shiraishi Kawa did not linger.
He swiftly and decisively dealt with all the Goblins in the street.
Without copied skills, relying purely on basic combat techniques to deal with monsters was very slow, especially when facing numerous and scattered Goblins.
Lixie Liya, who helped him awaken as a Holy Sword User, had not even awakened herself yet.
Discussions about Holy Swords were still very superficial, and he had to explore everything on his own, which was like asking a middle school student to take a college entrance exam.
"If only I had more combat methods…"
Shiraishi Kawa wasn't complaining that the Holy Sword User profession had a low ceiling; having more methods would make it much easier to handle such situations.
Along the village streets, the appearance of Goblin Slayer's sister, which did not appear in the original work, could only be solved by brute force.
That is,
First, kill all the Goblins that are harassing the village. Once the Milking Girl with noticeable features is found, he might just meet the young Goblin Slayer!
The battle was resolved quickly.
These inferior Goblins had no means of resistance at all.
During the battle, Shiraishi Kawa also gained some insights into combat details, pulling the Holy Sword Shinra Bansho out of the Goblin's body.
He even thought of a possibility… "Magic can enhance overall physical qualities."
"So, can I infuse magic into the Holy Sword and instantly develop new moves?"
He decisively made a simple attempt. The Holy Sword, which originally only emitted a dark red light, seemed to be thoroughly infused with vitality.
The light gradually became dazzling.
It really works?
Shiraishi Kawa hadn't expected such a result. With a gentle swing of the sword, a red sword energy was unleashed, instantly creating a cut mark on the hardened ground.
The sharp slash was about a palm's depth.
When it landed on these Goblins, the effect was twice as good.
"Isn't this just like a certain Sword Soul profession in a certain DNF mobile game from my previous life, 'didn't study hard for the college entrance exam, but can backstep with sword energy'?"
"I have it in this life!"
Readjusting himself, his next target was the distant house. The continuous infusion of magic into the Holy Sword didn't consume much.
The combat effectiveness it brought was simply terrifying!
Goblins were already gathering, and the tightly shut door suggested that residents were trapped inside. This was a good opportunity to test the effect on these low-level monsters.
He approached the house.
And the Goblins, having caught the scent of humans, held various strange weapons, their glowing green eyes filled with killing intent.
"Quite fierce…"
Mimicking the release method of a certain game's Sword Slash skill.
Shiraishi Kawa continuously poured magic into the Holy Sword. As the light gradually intensified, he gripped the hilt with both hands and swung a horizontal slash at the rushing monsters!
The light red slash cut through the air, stirring up dust from the ground, and the Goblins, rushing forward, had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.
They were instantly cut in half at the waist.
"Holy crap!"

The distant house ahead was, as expected, under siege by Goblins. There were about 6 of them, and because it was relatively close to the outside, no organized resistance was formed.
They could only use the wooden house as cover. Inside, a grown woman with short golden hair and plain clothes was tightly blocking the wooden door with her back.
But the continuous Impact from the Goblins caused the not-so-sturdy wooden door to shake precariously, threatening to be pushed down at any moment. Tears were already welling up in her eyes.
At this moment… she could only hope that her younger brother, hiding in the cellar, could escape the Goblins' clutches.
"Remember!"
"No matter what happens, stay in the cellar and don't come out!" The girl said to her brother, as if giving her last words.
She couldn't hold on any longer… but.
The anticipated impact did not come, and the atmosphere outside the wooden door instantly fell silent.
"…"
The girl held her breath, not daring to speak. As approaching footsteps grew louder, her rapidly beating heart felt like it was stuck in her throat.
The footsteps stopped!
Could it be stronger Goblins?
"Thump thump thump!"
And with a brief knock on the door, a rather young voice came from outside: "Are the people inside okay? The Goblins have been cleared out."
"…"
It was a human voice.
The girl, who had been taut and on the verge of collapsing, weakly opened the wooden door. The figure standing at the doorway had an exceptionally gentle smile… PS: I'm a bit stuck on writing, huge thanks to the reader 'Those years passed by so quickly' for the suggestion. If it makes it to serialization, there will be a place later on.
To claim a brand new Fiji cup from the author.
And also, could I get some comments?
Shamelessly asking for daily flowers, rating tickets, and if there are monthly tickets, even better!!!
Chapter 27: A Different Goblin Slayer in the Future! The Heart-Stirring Sword Saint
"Excuse me… are you an adult from the Adventurers' Guild?"
The short-haired golden-haired girl timidly surveyed the surroundings outside the house. The Goblins that had trapped her and her brother inside the house were gone.
Only severed, scattered body parts remained on the ground.
The bodies of these green-skinned monsters were all cut, and no sounds of battle were detected, leaving only one possibility.
These Goblins…
The girl looked at Shiraishi Kawa again. If there were no other Adventurers around, then the only possibility was that he had dealt with them instantly.
Although she wasn't sure what style of clothing this was, from the extremely exquisite fabric, his identity must be that of an extremely powerful Adventurer, perhaps even a noble from the city?
In any case,
Shiraishi Kawa had saved both her and her brother.
If they had fallen into the hands of those Goblins, Sylvie Alisa couldn't even imagine what would have happened; even her own brother would likely have been implicated.
"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you…"
"It's nothing."
Shiraishi Kawa smiled and waved his hand. In Goblin Slayer's twisted world, the gods, merely to decide a winner, determined the fate of races by rolling dice.
The overall environment was something he couldn't change for now, but at this stage, he still had the ability to change the story's direction as he wished.
He carefully observed the girl before him.
She was very different from all the beautiful girls Shiraishi Kawa had met. Due to frequent labor, her skin had a healthy, light tan.
At first glance, her appearance wasn't particularly stunning.
But upon closer inspection of Goblin Slayer's sister, one could notice her extremely delicate and captivating features, especially her clear, light brown eyes, and her inner, resolute character!
"What's your name?"
"My name is Sylvie Alisa, and this is my younger brother. You can just call him Oram." The girl pulled her brother, who was standing behind her, to their savior.
Shiraishi Kawa had no intention of looking down on others.
Moreover, he admired Goblin Slayer as a character. In the original work, Goblin Slayer, solely for revenge, was able to steadfastly pursue his goal.
Now… after saving Goblin Slayer's sister, their future fate was bound to change. He squatted in front of the little boy, placing his hand directly on his head.
"You must remember."
"Your sister was willing to sacrifice her life to protect you in front of these monsters. This is a family bond that can never be overlooked."
"…"
The boy, with tear stains in the corners of his eyes, nodded heavily.
Shiraishi Kawa had no desire to be a preachy teacher. After careful thought, he chuckled, "And then, destiny must be held in your own hands."
"If…"
"What would have happened to your sister without you?"
After the Goblin invasion, Oram's mind was clearly much more mature. He reached out and wiped away the tear stains from his eyes.
He wanted to know the outcome.
"Most likely, death, a very humiliating death."
Regarding Sylvie's fate in the original work, Shiraishi Kawa had no intention of revealing it for now, so he simply explained it in a more subtle way.
