The demon monk in the second dimension

"It's a Swamp Dragon!"

Swamp Dragon – just hearing the word "dragon" in its name tells you it's not easy to deal with.

This is actually true.

Swamp dragons are true rulers of the water; even trolls dare not fight them in the water.

Looking at the swamp dragon's eyes, which were as big as his two fists, Xia Zhi covered his feet with his true energy, took two steps on the deck, and leaped with all his might.

He went back ashore and looked back at the swamp dragon swaying its enormous body, which, with a single flip, capsized the wooden boat.

Xia Zhi felt heartbroken as she watched it devour goblin corpses one after another in the water.

Those are all materials, they are experience!

Oh! It's all oh!

Before the swamp dragon could finish eating, the goblin's roar came from ahead of the waterway again.

"grumble!"

"ah!"

Three warships, much larger than the wooden boat, sailed in, each commanded by a goblin shaman, with several times the number of troops as before.

But seeing the swamp dragon feeding in the waterway, the goblins all showed expressions of terror.

Swamp Dragon: (*^▽^*) The buffet has arrived!

Goblin: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a

"gaaaaa (Don't come any closer!)!!!!"

Chapter 22 Persuasion

Compared to the four small pieces of meat here at the Summer Solstice, there are definitely more meat on the three boats over there.

The swamp dragon glanced at Xia Zhi and the others with its fierce and enormous vertical pupils, then turned around and started fighting the goblins.

With its enormous size, the Swamp Dragon was a force to be reckoned with in the waterways.

Don't be fooled by the large size of the goblin's ship; it's all made of wood.

With a bang, the swamp dragon slapped a hole in the ground and lashed out with its tail, creating a massive crack.

The river water poured in with a thud.

The spells of the goblin shaman and the arrows shot by the goblin archers had no effect on the swamp dragon and would only arouse its ferocity.

Soon, all three wooden boats were capsized by the swamp dragon.

The goblins struggling in the water were swallowed one by one by the swamp dragon and ate their fill.

Taking this opportunity, Xia Zhi and the other three quickly left the sewer.

"How could a Swamp Dragon appear in the sewers of the Water City? There isn't enough food for a Swamp Dragon to survive here."

The lizardman monks couldn't quite understand it.

This is a violation of biological rules.

Xia Zhi knew what was going on.

"You guys go outside and take a look around. I think it's necessary to talk to the client."

……

Upon arriving at the Supreme Temple again, Xia Zhi quickly met the Sword Saintess.

She knelt on the ground, clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, and prayed before the supreme idol.

Xia Zhi did not disturb them, but stood aside.

After waiting a few minutes, the Sword Saintess finished her prayer and bowed slightly to Xia Zhi.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Goblin Slayer. Please follow me."

The Sword Saintess led Xia Zhi directly to her boudoir, a slight smile playing on her lips, and asked him a question.

"Goblin Slayer, is there anything I can do for you?"

Having a general understanding of the situation, Xia Zhi didn't waste any words and spoke frankly.

"You released the swamp dragons into the sewers, didn't you? I can't think of anyone other than the ruler of the Water City and the high priest of the Supreme Temple who could do this."

Staring intently at the face of the Sword Saintess, Xia Zhi observed the expression of the twenty-five-year-old gold-ranked adventurer.

The opponent is very strong. If the opponent turns hostile here, he must respond immediately.

"When I made eye contact with the swamp dragon, I didn't see any killing intent in its eyes, and it immediately turned to deal with the goblins. This is very unusual."

But the Sword Saintess did not act as expected.

On the contrary, she gave an expected look, as if to say, "That's exactly right," with her smile still on her face.

"So you already found out? No wonder you're Goblin Slayer San."

Instead of showing any panic at the discovery of her secret, the Sword Saintess took two steps forward and gently touched Xia Zhi's chest.

As if lost in some kind of memory, the Sword Saintess murmured.

"This back view is so similar to what it was ten years ago. Would you be interested in hearing the story of a fifteen-year-old girl who is suffering and helpless?"

Xia Zhi reached out and grabbed the arm of the Sword Saintess.

"what!"

The Sword Saintess let out a soft cry and did not resist, but instead leaned into Xia Zhi's arms, following the force.

Xia Zhi stroked the right arm of the Sword Saintess—several obvious scars were visible on her snow-white skin.

Because the Sword Saintess's skin was as white as milk, the scars were even more noticeable.

Coincidentally, Xia Zhi also had a similar injury.

Those were scars left after Goblin Slayer killed goblins one of those times.

"Is it a goblin? I only started exterminating goblins ten years ago, so the person you're talking about probably isn't me."

"I know."

The Sword Saintess exhaled a soft breath of orchid fragrance and looked up at Xia Zhi's helmet.

Although her eyes were burned out, the Sword Saintess was able to use magic to perceive the world.

She reached out and touched the cold helmet, as if it could give her strength.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? I'm a saintess who defeated the Demon King and saved the world, yet I'm afraid of goblins."

The Sword Saintess removed the black cloth she used to cover her eyes, revealing a pair of lifeless, dark gray eyes that looked like glass.

These eyes should have been bright and clear, like the sky's blue.

But it was destroyed by goblins.

"How terrifying, how horrifying. How could there be such a terrifying monster in this world?"

"I have lost my virginity and am suffering torment. Others cannot understand the horror of goblins, but you, as the Goblin Slayer, surely can, right?"

The Sword Maiden pressed her right hand tightly against her chest. In this world without breast wraps, this gesture made her stand out even more.

"I defeated the Demon King and saved the world, but who will save that poor fifteen-year-old girl?"

"When the goblins appeared in the sewers, I knew they were there to take revenge on me."

As if there were real goblins around, the Sword Saintess clung tightly to Xia Zhi, her expression lost and bewildered.

"The goblins in the sewers can be stopped by swamp dragons, but what about the goblins in my heart? Every time I fall asleep, I dream of that fifteen-year-old girl. When I'm surrounded by goblins in my dreams, will you come to my aid?"

Xia Zhi did not speak.

He took off his helmet, lowered his head, and kissed a pair of soft, limp lips.

With her head tilted back, the Sword Saintess responded clumsily but earnestly.

Soon, the two of them were wearing less and less clothing.

The Sword Saintess let out a long, satisfied sigh.

……

By the time the photographer finished his chicken leg rice and returned, it was already the morning of the next day.

When Xia Zhi opened her eyes, she found a pair of snow-white arms tightly encircling her.

She rubbed against Xia Zhi's arm and gave her a beautiful smile.

Good morning, Goblin Slayer San.

"Good morning."

Summer Solstice lifted the blanket, sat up, and turned to look at the Sword Saintess.

Did you dream about goblins last night?

No. I slept soundly.

The Sword Saintess had a very satisfied smile on her face.

"I haven't had a proper rest in a long time."

"Then put on your gear and take your weapons."

Summer Solstice fully demonstrated what a scumbag is and what it means to be heartless.

"Let's go kill goblins."

"what?"

Upon hearing Xia Zhi's words, the Sword Saintess's expression immediately froze.

She recoiled as if she were an ordinary girl who had just seen a cockroach.

The Sword Saintess hugged her arm and shook her head in terror.

"No! No! If I encounter goblins, I'll be so scared I'll cry!"

Xia Zhi bent down and hugged the Sword Saintess tightly.

He whispered in the ear of the Sword Saintess.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be by your side."

"I will kill any goblin."

While speaking, Xia Zhi even used demonic methods.

He not only rubbed against the Sword Saintess's ear, but also made physical contact with her, relieving her stress.

This is a little trick I learned from the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect. It's not a spell, but simply a matter of actions and tone of voice.

It's somewhat like psychology, but it's very useful.

With Xia Zhi's comforting words, the Sword Saintess, whose body had been trembling, gradually calmed down.

Her expression was fearful and dazed, as if she had grasped at the last straw, and she murmured.

"Then I entrust everything to you, Goblin Slayer San."

Chapter 23 Double Row in the Sewers (Please add to your favorites and vote for this book)

Inside the Supreme Temple, standing before the silver light armor she hadn't worn for years, the Sword Saintess's expression was a mixture of dazed realization and nostalgia.

Since defeating the Demon King and becoming the High Priestess of the Supreme Temple, she has rarely used force.

In previous years, she had also taken action several times to defeat the remnants of the Demon King's army.

However, in recent years, the Sword Saintess has had very few opportunities to even draw her sword.

With Xia Zhi's help, the Sword Saintess removed her white bishop's robes and put on this light armor, which reduced its defensive capabilities to emphasize lightness and agility, providing protection only for vital areas such as the chest, back, thighs, and shoulders, and was made primarily of mithril, a material effective against magic.

There is no such concept in this world as "there is invisible magic protecting the areas that armor cannot block".

On the battlefield, wearing low-cut armor is practically suicide; it's like inviting the enemy to shoot you into a pincushion.
