In the Dimensional Chat Group, as the group rescue mission officially began, the group live streaming function was also enabled in every member's function list.
Misaka Mikoto, who had arrived at the restaurant.
Still ignored Shirai Kuroko and watched the group live stream on her own. She had originally thought that if no other group members took the mission...
She would find an excuse to send Kuroko away.
But Misaka Mikoto hadn't expected that in such a short time, the mission would be taken by the 'Ordinary High School Student'.
"Is this really an Ordinary High School Student?"
Her lips twitched. Being in modern society herself, and also a high school student, although she knew Shiraishi Kawa had become a Holy Sword User...
She hadn't expected...
Such a strong improvement in strength in such a short time!
Even in Academy City, where she was, he should be considered an Lv3 esper. Witnessing the clean and decisive combat firsthand...
Misaka Mikoto spoke in the Dimensional Chat Group.
Railgun: This shouldn't be within the scope of an Ordinary High School Student. If it's truly an improvement gained from becoming a Holy Sword User, then this is indeed quite impressive.
Master of the Butterfly Mansion: These Goblins feel very weak to me. If I had time to take the mission, slaughtering them would be very easy.
Misaka Mikoto: Don't use a supernatural world's perspective to look at modern society.
Misaka Mikoto: The daily life of an Ordinary High School Student is reading and studying. If he gained such strength in a short time, it's already very impressive!
"..."
Shiraishi Kawa didn't have time to pay attention to the chat in the Dimensional Chat Group now. He led Lixie Liya, Lian Weiweite, and the Adventurer team.
They did not split up.
Giving these cunning Goblins a chance to ambush, but instead moved forward as a group towards the depths of the nest. This kind of rescue mission was like a reward map.
While gaining chat group points, they could also raise their profession level.
As everyone continued to advance, no additional Goblins blocked their way. With the help of the Magician's shining magic...
They finally arrived at the depths of the Goblin nest.
In the extremely spacious cave, torches hung on the walls, and a foul odor of low-level creatures permeated the extremely hollow area.
In the mostly dark environment.
One could vaguely see red eyes hiding in the darkness. The overall atmosphere was silent, and they watched the intruders into the depths of the nest with covetous eyes.
"So many?"
Compared to their first encounter with Goblins, the sheer number in front of Lixie Liya made her gasp. She first looked at the rested Adventurer team.
Finally.
She turned her gaze to Shiraishi Kawa.
Even her tone carried a hint of solemnity as she asked, "Can we win?"
"We will win!"
Shiraishi Kawa said decisively. The Mana Emission used to strengthen his body resulted in minimal mana consumption, so maintaining it was certainly not a problem.
He looked at the Magician, who was protected by the Knights and Swordsmen, and decisively instructed: "You don't need to participate in the upcoming battle. What you need to do..."
"...is to provide lighting with all your might."
"Okay."
The Magician in the Adventurer team was a soft-spoken girl. Especially after witnessing Shiraishi Kawa's combat, she obeyed unconditionally.
She quickly understood his intention.
Providing illumination would prevent the hidden Goblins from having anywhere to hide. She held her staff with both hands, chanting the incantation for the "Shine" magic.
"Shine! Holy Light!"
"What about me?"
Lixie Liya looked at Shiraishi Kawa and asked.
"Is your magic device still sufficiently charged? If so, focus on covering the others."
Having simply assigned the next steps, Shiraishi Kawa, with his physical abilities enhanced to the extreme by Mana Emission, didn't want to waste time.
The illumination magic had already filled the cave.
The dazzling, blinding light caused temporary visual impairment to the Goblin monsters, who had lived in the caves for years, allowing them to seize the opportunity.
As he stepped forward.
Shiraishi Kawa's figure instantly vanished from his original spot, like a blur. The close-range ordinary Goblins could be left for others to handle.
His target.
Was the Goblins with significantly higher levels in the back!
The lowest-level Goblins were naked, while those who could wear clothes were considered the kind that could sit at the table in a Goblin nest.
Along the way, Goblins tried to block him.
However, what awaited them was the "Shinra Bansho," whose sharpness increased linearly with the profession level.
Wherever the sharp sword light reached, it left only the shattered remains of Goblins, unable to impede Shiraishi Kawa's steps in the slightest.
While easily slaying Goblins.
"It's you."
He continuously observed his surroundings and finally locked onto a blue-skinned Goblin, wearing slightly worn clothes, surrounded by many Goblins.
Its blue skin stood out among the green-skinned Goblins.
Most importantly, this blue Goblin held a skull staff. If he remembered correctly, this thing was a Goblin Shaman.
And also the leader of this Goblin nest!
It chanted obscure, difficult-to-understand incantations, and the skull staff held by the Goblin Shaman emitted a ghostly light.
"He can't even cast silent spells; no wonder he's stuck as a Goblin for life."
Shiraishi Kawa wouldn't give the opponent a chance to cast skills. He once again increased the Mana Emission value. When his limbs and cells reached their limit in carrying mana,
it was accompanied by a brief stinging sensation.
This feeling of breaking through limits, far from making Shiraishi Kawa uncomfortable, instead gave him a sense of exhilaration. Combat felt great!
His speed erupted again.
In the blink of an eye, he dashed in front of the Goblin Shaman. As the dark red sword glow swept across, it wasn't just the Goblin Shaman... but also the Goblins guarding him.
They were all completely torn apart. With the death of the nest leader, the Goblins, who had been orderly harassing and fighting, completely panicked.
"You have successfully killed the Goblin Shaman, gaining 1370 experience points."
"You have successfully killed a Goblin, gaining 157 experience points."
"You have successfully killed a Goblin, gaining 130 experience points."
...The Adventurers watching from behind were momentarily stunned by this sudden beheading operation, unable to react.
It was only as Lixie Liya continuously fired her gun
that they snapped back to reality, sounding the horn for a full encirclement of the vast number of Goblins. They couldn't help but recall their earlier conversation.
"Can we win?"
"We will win!"
