The demon monk in the second dimension

Within a few days, when wild beasts discover the situation here, the goblin corpses will be devoured.

……

Back in the village, Xia Zhi placed the Soft Silver Sword beside the Thousand Gold Swordsman's bed.

After treatment by the pharmacist, she was out of danger, but she had not yet woken up.

Because of a headache, Xia Zhi came to the village's hot spring pool again to relieve her fatigue.

With his eyes closed, Xia Zhi soaked in the hot spring, the warm water soothing his body and relieving his headache.

Meanwhile, in the Niwan Palace, Xia Zhi's primordial spirit, which had rested for most of the day, perked up and studied the things that had been cut off from the Goblin God.

He channeled his divine sense into the green light, scrutinizing it closely and making multi-faceted and multi-layered judgments based on his past experience.

"This power is somewhat similar to a certain attribute of flesh and blood cultivators. Let me think where I've seen it before."

Sensing the properties of this green light, Xia Zhi searched her memories.

A few minutes later, he came to a conclusion.

"This must be the power of reproduction. Yes, it is reproduction!"

Xia Zhi nodded in realization.

After all, this green light was transformed from that thing, so it's not surprising that it's reproductive power.

"Goblins must rely on this power to reproduce with women of different races, while also ensuring that the offspring will be goblins."

He found it somewhat amusing.

"So, this sword strike not only severely injured the Goblin God, but also severed the root of the goblin race?"

But after laughing, Xia Zhi felt a little regretful.

"If a Nascent Soul stage cultivator with flesh and blood obtains this power, it can greatly enhance their strength and make advancing to the Spirit Division stage a possibility. But it's not very useful to me."

Xia Zhi is not a flesh-and-blood cultivator.

Judging from the cause-and-effect relationship, Xia Zhi felt that the Goblin God was like a Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator.

But his intuition told him that the Goblin God posed a threat to him comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and that he could mobilize a portion of the power of heaven and earth.

The ability to mobilize the power of heaven and earth is the biggest difference between the Nascent Soul stage and the Spirit Transformation stage.

"So, is it a characteristic of the world?"

Before transmigrating, Xia Zhi had read many fantasy novels.

He guessed that the green light of reproduction in his hand was a reproduction law.

Although the gods of this world have not yet reached the level of "dividing their minds and communicating with heaven and earth", they can still use the power of the laws by mastering them.

After all, the power of laws can be considered a kind of power of heaven and earth.

The Integration Stage, on the other hand, is the process of pursuing "the unity of divine thoughts and the oneness of heaven and man".

In this context, it means "I am the law, and the law is me".

At the same time, Xia Zhi also gained some insight.

"The world's sudden increase in rejection of me is probably partly due to my acquisition of this power of law. Although the gods of this world do not know that I am an outsider, the world itself certainly knows this."

The Heavenly Realm has long studied concepts such as world consciousness.

The most obvious example is the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Palace Realm.

In addition, there are countless other small worlds outside the realm, known as "blessed lands".

In order to successfully transcend tribulation, the vast majority of cultivators in the tribulation stage study the Heavenly Dao and frequently enter and exit various small worlds.

There were also some achievements at the summer solstice.

His success in escaping the Heavenly Realm was largely due to this achievement.

"But I did not encounter any warnings from the world consciousness when I came to this world, which means that the world consciousness of this world is still in a state of confusion, and only has instinctive reactions. Otherwise, in a world where the world consciousness has awakened, there must be beings equivalent to cultivators in the Integration stage."

The world is not that big.

In Goblin Slayer's memories, there is a history of war between the gods, during which the world was destroyed many times.

The final result was that the country was divided into several factions, and no one could do anything to anyone else, leading to a helpless period of peace.

A normal world consciousness will not allow itself to be constantly embroiled in war, which is destructive to the world itself and stagnates its growth.

He will choose a spokesperson, who will also be a guardian, to maintain the development of the world.

In some smaller worlds, Xia Zhi had seen powerful figures comparable to cultivators in the Integration Stage, such as "God King," "God Supreme God," and "World King."

They are all guardians chosen by the world's consciousness.

"It's a pity this world is too small. Otherwise, it wouldn't be impossible for me to become this guardian."

Xia Zhi's body had only recently reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but her primordial spirit was a genuine Tribulation Transcending stage primordial spirit.

If he is willing to pay a certain price, he can awaken the world's consciousness, allowing him to choose to become the world's guardian and the king of the gods.

However, Xia Zhi judged that the upper limit of this world was the fusion stage.

Once he becomes the guardian of the world, he will be locked in this world.

Xia Zhi still hopes that she can recover her strength as soon as possible, or even surpass it, and return to the Heavenly Realm!

……

When Xia Zhi emerged from the hot spring, the Thousand Gold Swordsman also awoke.

Holding her family heirloom sword, she thought of her fallen comrades and tearfully thanked Xia Zhi.

"You must be Goblin Slayer San."

She wiped away the tears that had streamed down her face and drew her soft silver sword with a whoosh.

Amid the knight's astonished expression, the swordswoman swung her longsword across the ground, cutting off her long hair into a neat short style (here @Sakura-ge), and said to Xia Zhi with a determined expression.

"Next, you should be going to hunt down the goblins in the castle! Please take me with you! I know magic and swordsmanship, so I'll definitely be of help!"

She said through gritted teeth, her expression ferocious.

"I will avenge my comrades!"

Xia Zhi glanced at the young swordsman who seemed determined to strive for success, then turned and left the room.

"I've taken care of the goblins in the castle. We'll head back to Water Seven tomorrow."

The Thousand Gold Swordsman: "Huh?!?!"

Chapter 36 Gift

When Xia Zhi said this, not only the Thousand Gold Swordsman, but even the Temple Knight standing nearby was skeptical.

You just rescued the mission target last night, and you only went out for a short while this morning. As a result, you said this afternoon that you wiped out a whole castle of goblins?

However, given his reputation as "Goblin Slayer" and the instructions he had received from the Sword Maiden, he couldn't easily refute them.

The Thousand Gold Swordsman doesn't have this concern.

"I want to see it."

Her brows were furrowed due to physical pain and discomfort, but her will remained firm.

"I need to see it with my own eyes."

At that moment, the Temple Knight spoke up.

"Then let me go with you. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, and you need someone to take care of you."

Xia Zhi said nothing and let the two of them do whatever they wanted.

When it was time for dinner that evening, the two of them returned home looking distracted.

Xia Zhi could tell from their expressions that they were definitely terrified by the gruesome and bloody scene.

They had never seen such a terrifying sight in their lives!

How did the other party do it?

To be honest, the swordswoman really mustered up her courage to take small steps to Xia Zhi's side and bow deeply to him.

"Thank you."

Summer Solstice, sipping fresh mutton soup and eating wheat bread, said casually.

"It's just a commission."

……

The next morning, the three of them boarded a carriage and headed towards the Water City.

Upon arriving in the City of Water and entering the Supreme Temple, Xia Zhi once again encountered the Sword Saintess and the noble couple.

The noblewoman held her daughter in her arms, and the two wept bitterly.

The middle-aged nobleman also had red eyes and shed tears.

They had already given up hope of their daughter's survival, but unexpectedly, just a few days after they placed the request with Xia Zhi, she returned with her daughter!

"Thank you so much, Goblin Slayer, for saving my daughter's life!"

Accompanied by his wife and daughter, the middle-aged nobleman bowed deeply to Xia Zhi.

He held the soft silver sword in both hands and handed it to Xia Zhi.

"This is just a small token of our appreciation; please accept it!"

Xia Zhi glanced at the Soft Silver Sword and asked curiously.

"Is this your family heirloom sword?"

"That is precisely why I must present it to you."

The middle-aged nobleman glanced at his daughter beside him, as if he had given up on something, and shook his head slightly with a bitter smile.

“She is our only child. The continuation of the family is more important than restoring the glory of our ancestors.”

"I……"

Seeing that the Soft Silver Sword was about to be sent away, the Thousand Gold Swordsman subconsciously raised his head to try to stop it.

As a result, the middle-aged nobleman narrowed his eyes, straightened his face, and appeared extremely stern.

"What, you want to be an adventurer?"

After the initial relief that his daughter had returned alive and unharmed, he was overwhelmed with anger and heartache.

"Do you know how worried we've been these past few days! Your mother and I were terrified you'd come back lying down!"

Tears streamed down the noblewoman's face once again.

She held her daughter and wept.

"Stop being an adventurer and stay with your mother, okay? Your father and I have been very worried about you while you were gone!"

Amidst her mother's weeping, the swordswoman thought of the deaths of her companions and the humiliation she suffered at the hands of goblins.

Then, she thought of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood in the snow-covered castle yesterday.

I thought of those goblin corpses, their heads and spines pulled out one by one.

Is this the true world of adventurers?

Upon seeing Xia Zhi wearing a helmet that concealed her face, the Thousand Gold Swordsman's body trembled involuntarily.

Entrusting the Soft Silver Sword to the other party is not considered a disgrace.

So the swordsman lowered his head and whispered.

"……Yes, I understand."

……

After thanking Xia Zhi, the noble family left the Soft Silver Sword and happily returned home.

Although this sword is called Softsilver, it is not made of silver, but mithril.

Its sharpness, sturdiness, and magic resistance are all quite good.
