In equal measure, it also emphasizes how True Companions can pull each other through the darkest of situations through teamwork, smarts, and plain old tenacity, fighting for what they believe in. As a ( partial) Deconstruction of standard fantasy works, the series emphasizes the power of Boring, but Practical equipment and tactics, how Anyone Can Die if not careful, the dangers of epic heroes not bothering with "low level" quests, and just how warped a Dark and Troubled Past can make someone. Its story follows the Priestess and other adventurers as they accompany the Goblin Slayer on his life's mission to kill every last goblin he can find. Goblin Slayer is a Japanese Dark Heroic Fantasy Light Novel series written by Kumo Kagyu and illustrated by Noboru Kannatsuki.
