Goblin Slayer, Vol. 9 (light novel)

He does not let anyone roll the dice. Goblin Slayer has temporarily separated from his party for what is supposed to be a routine delivery job with Cow Girl. However, things take an unexpected turn when they’re ambushed by a horde of goblins under the command of a mysterious, ghastly creature. It’s up to Goblin Slayer both to protect his childhood friend and fight off the foes all on his own, as the rest of his party is elsewhere—Priestess and the others have ventured to the snowy northern mountains, a region locked in a perpetual winter under the control of the evil Ice Witch…Can Priestess successfully lead the party to victory in Goblin Slayer’s stead?
