"Wait, this goblin looks a lot like a dog!?"
"This is clearly a werewolf-type race, right?..."
Countless people wore puzzled expressions. This goblin was completely different from any they'd seen before!
It was outrageous that the werewolves in this world were called goblins!
They were nothing like those cowardly goblins!
Goblin: "Excuse me, are you for real?"
That's a different world!
[No Game No Life World]
The goblin race was utterly dumbfounded. The goblins in that other world actually looked like that?!
And their craftsmanship was simply too primitive!
This was completely embarrassing to the goblin name!
They were the Eighth Race!
Even though there was no caste system now, they still considered themselves above the beastmen!
"They haven't even developed weapons like the Ex-Buster!"
"They're not worthy of being goblins like us!"
Beastman: "Oh, come on! Who's the coward and who's the dog today?... It's that husky... Right... forget it..."
They wouldn't stoop to the level of these petty creatures and would let these weak goblins go!
A bunch of brutes who only know how to use firearms!
[Grimgar World]
The goblins were completely enraged. These humans had gone too far!
They hadn't even gone out looking for trouble!
Yet these humans were slaughtering them like this. This time, they had to ensure there was no return for them!
The high goblin, Dead Spot, its golden eyes exuding murderous intent. Anyone who dared to step into its territory had to be prepared to die!
From the fifth floor, its earth-shaking roar could be heard...
The mid-level goblins on the upper floors trembled in fear, not daring to utter a word...
[On Screen]
[Just as Merry was about to lead them away, they heard the clanking of chains...]
Draaag—
[Dead Spot, a high-level goblin, slowly approached, dragging a massive blade. Its enormous form terrified Merry, making her entire body tremble. She clutched her arm tightly, not daring to move...]
[Images of her dead companions flashed through her mind, lingering...]
["Merry...!"]
[Haruhiro gently shook her, worried that the goblins nearby would notice her...]
[Merry snapped back to her senses and looked at everyone apologetically. If she froze here again, her companions would be in danger once more...]
Huff—
[Dead Spot smelled the scent of fear and came closer, but suddenly halted...]
[Merry seized the opportunity to lead everyone to the fifth floor, planning to find another way back...]
[Screen Ends]
Natsuki Subaru: "Whew, that was close. I thought they were going to fight right there!"
The sense of oppression this goblin gave him was no less than that from Garfiel.
If they started fighting, they'd probably be in serious trouble!
[On Screen]
[The fifth floor was practically a crafting workshop. It was mostly inhabited by mid-level goblins, much stronger than those on the first floor!]
[They could only rely on assassinations and keep moving forward...]
[Until they reached a ruined temple...]
[Because the goblins here did not believe in gods, they had destroyed it...]
[Screen Ends]
Goddess Luminous: "It seems we need to let these goblins experience the might of the gods!"
The gods had been observing the world without interfering too much...
But now, the gods were being forced to act. All worlds across dimensions were watching...
Being targeted by higher-dimensional beings wouldn't be a good thing...
[On Screen]
[While they were resting, footsteps approached from ahead...]
Tap, tap, tap...
[Ranta threw a glowing plant forward, and three figures emerged...]
[But their faces no longer bore the vitality of the living... They had become undead...]
[Merry stepped forward, murmuring their names, her eyes filled with longing...]
[She missed them so much...]
[But they could never hear her again, for the curse had turned them into puppets of the Deathless King...]
[Suddenly, the mage among them unleashed flames. Hal couldn't withstand the terrifying heat...]
[Their magic seemed rather powerful!?]
["Hal! Cover me... I'll be the main attacker!"]
[Merry's expression was resolute. She wanted to rescue her former teammates herself!]
[Screen Ends]
Aqua: "Damn undead! Taste my Divine Wrath Fist!"
Kazuma: "Idiot! You can't fight them!"
Kazuma was exhausted. When would this girl ever calm down around undead?
"My friends... I miss you all so much..."
Tears streamed down Merry's cheeks. She hadn't expected to see them again one day.
But they were separated by life and death, transformed into monsters...
Yet she should have realized that running away would never solve the problem...
But now, she had Hal... She had new companions to support her...
It wouldn't be long before they met again!
[On Screen]
[Hal swiftly charged at the mage, but the mage easily dodged. The mage quickly moved his fingers, forming dozens of small magic circles that coalesced into a wall of flame several meters wide!]
[—Shadow Bind—]
[Shihoru quickly ensnared the thief's feet. Ranta saw his chance and rushed forward!]
[Though the thief was dead, he retained combat experience and reacted swiftly, blocking Ranta's attack!]
Clang! Clang! Clang!
[Before Hal could get a clear look, the mage fired several magic bullets. Emerging from the wall of flame, they caught everyone off guard!]
[Hal and Mary were hit one after the other...]
[To seize an opening, Merry rushed into the wall of flame and used purification magic to lay the mage to rest...]
[Immediately after, with everyone's cooperation, they purified them all...]
[Screen Ends]
[The World of an Eighth Son? Are You Kidding Me?]
"It must be agonizing to purify your closest friends with your own hands..."
"Master... I wonder how you are in that world..."
Wendelin thought of the master he had met upon reincarnating into this world...
If not for him, he wouldn't have become such an outstanding mage...
But later, he discovered his master had already died and was on the verge of becoming undead...
The day he purified him, he cried inconsolably...
He truly hoped they could meet again someday...
He wished Merry could reunite with her friends one day...
[On Screen]
[After this battle, everyone realized they had to become stronger...]
[If not for Merry's purification magic, they wouldn't have known how to deal with them...]
[Just as they were contemplating what to do upon returning...]
[The walls collapsed!]
[Dead Spot's form emerged from the dust and debris, its golden eyes fixed on everyone with a desperate crimson light. Drool continuously dripped from its maw...]
["Dead Spot!!!"]
[A chill ran down everyone's spines, their eyes wide with terror...]
Huff——
[Haruhiro yelled, "Everyone, run away!!!"]
["Look ahead! Look ahead!"]
[Ranta was drenched in sweat, shouting incessantly...]
[Haruhiro reacted, turned around, and saw the massive blade swinging toward him. In this crisis, he instinctively found a weak point, dodged sideways, and tumbled backward...]
["Ah..."]
[Haruhiro merely blocked it, but it felt as if the bones in his arm were shattered. Excruciating pain flooded his entire body!]
["ROAR!!!"]
[Dead Spot roared, raised its giant blade, and attacked again, slamming it down with immense force!]
BOOM!!!
[The ground cracked, debris scattered, and dust filled the air!]
[Haruhiro quickly picked up his dagger and rolled away with his speed...]
["Run!"]
[Everyone took advantage of Dead Spot being buried under rubble and fled as fast as they could. This creature was not a monster they could handle!]
[Now, they had only one thought!]
[Escape!]
[Screen Ends]
High Goblin: "Run? Where can you run?!"
Mid Goblin: "If Lord Dead Spot takes action, these humans are definitely dead!"
Low Goblin: "Is this Lord Dead Spot's power? It's truly terrifying!"
Goblin: "Looks like these humans are done for!"
[Inside the Volunteer Soldier Corps]
Both trainee and full-fledged volunteer soldiers wore tense expressions.
This Dead Spot was a monster that had long plagued them. Basically, no one was willing to engage it.
Encountering such a monster meant slim chances of survival!
"Even we can't easily defeat that monster!"
Renji's expression was grave. He was sweating for them. They had to escape...
A very few hoped they would trigger a miracle and manage to defeat this monster!
[On Screen]
[Dead Spot emerged from the soil, its scarlet eyes fixed on Haruhiro's retreating back...]
Ooooww——
[Its roar alerted all the goblins on this floor...]
[Three goblins, fully armed, stood blocking their path...]
["Moguzo! Shout!"]
[This was no time to fight them!]
Ooooooh——
[Moguzo's shout created a sonic pressure that struck the goblins' skulls, immobilizing them...]
[Everyone quickly climbed onto a high platform. Mary shot an arrow from behind to cut off the path...]
[But the high platform was abruptly smashed by Dead Spot. Ranta chose to stay behind and cover their retreat!]
[A Dark Knight never runs away!]
[Even in darkness, he is still a knight who protects everyone!]
