In a world where adventurers chase glory by slaying dragons and demons, one lone warrior dedicates his life to a far less glamorous pursuit: exterminating goblins. Goblin Slayer follows its titular hero, a silent and pragmatic fighter who has seen firsthand the devastating horrors these seemingly insignificant creatures can inflict on villages and innocent lives. Driven by a traumatic past and an unwavering sense of purpose, he accepts a mission to rescue a group of rookie adventurers, including a young priestess who becomes his unlikely partner.
