Title: Goblin Slayer Vol. 7
Series: Goblin Slayer – 7th volume
Author: Kumo Kagyu
Comments: A different scenarios occurs in this volume, which is always what makes the series so interesting. So where does Goblin Slayer slay goblins this time around? Well, he, along with his party, are invited to High Elf Archer’s hometown, which is naturally populated by elves. However, their journey there is perilous and once they arrive, they find out that goblins are just living nearby. Thus, with his most hated goblins so close by, Goblin Hunter doesn’t hesitate before he goes and slays them. While the party is competent, we’re shown more of Priestess’s insecurities. She is, after all, the lowest ranked there and is also mainly a support, never attacking on the frontline. Perhaps one of the greatest moments is when Priestess uses her spells in an unintended way, and she gets an unintended response as a result. It really hammers home that the beliefs of all the characters in this world are real. The action is tight and seeing the party work so well as a team is wonderful. While they slay numerous goblins, the author still manages to highlight that you cannot let your guard down. Goblins are dangerous and they will kill if you if your attention wavers for just one moment. While the fate of the goblin nest felt a bit rushed, the ending of the volume is perfect. It highlights how the characters feel after all they’ve been through, and their adventurer spirits clearly shines through.
