The Grill-Wielding Saintess of the Dead

“Wow, their level of civilization is surprisingly high, huh?”

Except for the things that were destroyed, I was quite surprised that the goblins’ stone and architectural skills were at this level.

There were buildings that looked like machines moving with strange power, only lacking steam. Even the paved roads and architectural styles were quite impressive.

If it weren’t for the mention of the Goblin Empire, I might have felt like I had traveled to some exotic foreign land.

However, I couldn’t just stroll around whistling like I was out for a casual walk.

Thud!

“There are still a lot of bugs around.”

Was it a Goblin Knight? I think they are B-grade each, but if a group gathers, they can pose quite a threat to an A-grade Hunter.

Goblin Shamans are also generally B-grade, but there are occasionally shamans who are rated as A-grade all by themselves…

Goblin Archers weren’t much of a threat. Even their crossbows and arrows, or even the firearms they looted, couldn’t pierce my skin.

I thought I had wiped them all out at the entrance of the Underground Empire, but as soon as I stepped into the city, I discovered that there were quite a few knights launching surprise attacks from above with large swords.

Their speed wasn’t anything special, and most importantly, they couldn’t break through my skin with their swords. I pretended to take a hit while I let my armor absorb the impact, exploding the soft flesh underneath.

Boom!

“Isn’t that like a destroyer tank?”

Hahaha, aren’t Goblin Knights pretty strong?

Strong? What’s strong? Even after being hit by a sword, the streamer isn’t even scratched, lol.

That’s because the streamer is weird, lol.

One, two, three.

Three on each side. A total of six.

To avoid dirt or dust hitting my face, I slightly turned away and intentionally took a hit from the attacks coming towards my torso.

And when the sword couldn’t pierce my skin, I would deflect it and counterattack.

Clang!

“What the hell?!”

“Ugh?”

As the Goblin Knights’ swords bounced off my body, I immediately charged forward, grabbed one by the head, and slammed it into the ground.

The helmet the knights wore crumpled like a tin can, and I could hear a sound as if a can of tuna was bursting inside.

Ah, these guys actually smell pretty good.

They’re definitely B-grade, so they must taste much better than regular goblins.

But what I want today isn’t these guys.

If I hadn’t heard about the Emperor Goblin, I might have cooked and eaten a couple of Goblin Knights to finish the broadcast satisfactorily.

But if there’s information about the Emperor Goblin, wouldn’t I want to feast on the real delicacies instead of catching these miscellaneous ones?

While Hobgoblins are rare among the ordinary goblins, the Emperor Goblin is a unique origin entity—there’s only one of it.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eat that. How could I dare to miss it!

Furthermore…

Grrr…

“Ugh, I’m hungry again…”

Crap… I’m hungry again.

The amount of Divine Power I possess is almost infinite, as it’s directly connected to the starlight. But using Divine Power doesn’t mean my stamina isn’t consumed at all.

In simple terms, the more powerful miracles I perform, the sooner my hunger cycles advance.

The meager Goblin corpses that had been eaten by the flesh tentacles didn’t satisfy me, so the hunger quickly returned.

Wow, it’s like smashing a goblin with a single punch.

I also felt that earlier; it’s like you’re incredibly strong, right?

Ugh… Noona… gimme…

Streamer is ridiculously strong, isn’t she?

From what I’ve seen, she seems to be S-grade or something?

‘Huh?’

At that moment, while checking the chat window, my vision suddenly became cloudy, and I sensed a strange fluctuation of mana.

This wasn’t just a temporary blurriness of vision.

All of my surroundings and the entire environment I could see, including the chat window, were completely obscured.

Panic set in as I suddenly couldn’t see anything without any warning.

Fortunately, the Divine Power barrier I had placed over the Drone Camera was functioning normally, so the broadcast was still being transmitted. However, I couldn’t check how chaotic the chat window had become, and that bothered me as a streamer.

‘Is it an illusion spell from the Goblin Shaman…?’

It’s a force from a different system than Divine Power, but it wasn’t too hard to perceive.

After all, the Divine Power I wield is an upgraded version of mana.

However, I had expected physical spells or magic like Fireball, but I never imagined they would use a spell to steal my sight.

‘Maybe they realized that physical attacks have no meaning against me and intentionally deprived me of sight?’

If that’s the case, it means that the goblins in this empire possess abilities and civilization that are far beyond what I expected.

Normally, goblins charge mindlessly, but the fact that they can think like this was surprising.

‘To resist… hmm, since this is a spell I’m experiencing for the first time, resisting will be tricky.’

If only I had time, I might have been able to repel the spell, but right now, Goblin Knights were pointing their swords straight at me.

Hahaha…!

Cackle!

I could hear the Goblin Knights laughing from close up.

It seemed they recognized that I had stopped moving and realized my vision had been taken.

They had just been scared of me a moment ago, and now they were laughing wickedly, as if convinced of their victory.

‘What’s that smell…?’

They were even dripping saliva and some unidentifiable bodily fluids.

Did I look like delicious food to them?

Or did I resemble a female they wanted to devour, which made them go into heat?

Well, this body is pretty cute after all.

I don’t know if the goblins see me as beautiful, but I know there have been cases where goblins have kidnapped human females to use as breeders.

…Whatever, it’s fine.

Snap!

“Sniff, oof!!!!”

Creep!?

Wowow!?

Even though my sight was taken, my other senses were intact. The flesh tentacles sprouting from my lower back automatically seek out and shred my enemies without my command.

“It’d actually be better for you to come to me.”

Bang!

Creak!?

As I swung my fist towards where the sound was coming from, something burst, and I could somewhat feel the sounds of the fleeing goblins and the flow of air.

I couldn’t pinpoint where the Goblin Shaman who cast the hallucination on me was, but given the circumstances, I had no choice but to attack indiscriminately.

Having made that decision, I sensed all the presence, movement, sounds, and smells around me and launched myself towards them.

I had fought before with my vision impaired in my previous world.

Those goblins that thought they won just because they had taken away my sight were foolish.

If they truly thought they had won, they should have taken away all of my senses, not just vision.

Snap!

Bam!

Boom!!

I grabbed the fleeing goblins’ heads and crushed them, then chased after them again.

Of course, not all of them were just fleeing.

Creak!

Whoosh!

I felt the sensation of a goblin’s sword whizzing through the air trying to cut me.

Courage is admirable, but what could it do with a sword that couldn’t even pierce my skin?

Bang!

I batted the sword away with my hand, yanked the goblin’s arm holding the sword, and its arm popped off like a toy.

Surely, I was currently drenched in a lot of blood, so it might look spooky to viewers.

Gah! Krrk?!

Gah! Grrk!

Hiii, Hiiiii!

The goblins that laughed at me quickly turned terrified and started screaming, leaving my ears ringing.

When I sensed footsteps slightly lighter than a human’s, I reached out to grab something and crushed it before searching for my next target.

The flesh tentacles covered me from rear attacks.

The tentacles even took advantage of this moment to attack the goblins, stealthily tearing them apart and eating their corpses.

If it were normal, I would have commanded the tentacles to stop immediately, but since I had lost my vision and was in a camouflage dungeon with S-grade danger, I couldn’t afford to take it easy.

If the Emperor Goblin attacked while my sight was obscured, I couldn’t guarantee that I would win.

Alright, eat lots and kill lots.

Thud!

Crash!

Crrack!

Crrack!

I thought I had killed quite a few goblins, but my vision was still obscured.

It seemed the location of the shaman, who had obstructed my sight, was quite far away, as no matter how many goblins I killed, they kept crawling out somewhere to ambush me.

I thought about using [Divine Body Destruction] again, but in a state where I couldn’t see, if I used that and fell into a pit or over a cliff, it would be troublesome.

As I fought frantically, I felt lost as to whether I was inside a tall spire, a building, or on the ground. Although I was in the Goblin Empire, which is built underground like a gigantic city, there’s a high risk of falling somewhere, so I had to refrain from using large-scale destructive miracles.

First, I need to secure my sight.

It’s incredibly annoying that I can feel but not see.

‘Then I should keep killing.’

[Miracle – Divine Body Descent]

Snap, crack!

Boom, clang!

I felt my waist shatter and then regenerate.

Cells from within my marrow that were boiling turned into muscle and bone, forming tentacles.

Haa…

Once again using the previously used [Divine Body Descent], I let out a low sigh.

The number of tentacles sprouting from my back had doubled and wrapped around my body.

The hunger communicated to me through the tentacles intensified, but since I was limited in the miracles I could use with my sight blocked, there was nothing I could do.

“Faster…”

The tentacles spread out.

I reinforced the tentacles with Divine Power, allowing the already strong tentacles to strike the goblins with even more destructive force.

Since it was certain there was no shaman nearby… I killed everything in sight that had a presence.

Crash!

Boom!

Bang!

Boom!

At that point, the numerous Goblin Knights had given up attacking me and were only trying to escape.

However, the tentacles, which spread like flowers, captured the goblins even faster than I could respond, smashing them, and deflecting the arrows and spells from the distant archers as they tore the enemies apart ferociously.

And how long did I keep ripping through the goblins?

I felt a connection with some alien source of mana.

‘That must be it.’

As I charged straight toward the shaman who had blinded me, I sensed the other nearby goblins that had fled were bracing to encircle me.

Creak!

Roar!

They must’ve realized that if the shaman was killed, they had no chance of winning.

But who cares? I reached the shaman much faster than they could form a circle around me.

Since I could sense the twisted energy connecting me to the shaman, my directions were precise.

Ugh?!

As I got closer to the goblin, I swung my tentacle and crushed its body.

Smash!!!

“I can see now.”

As soon as the shaman died, the darkness that had been obscuring my sight disappeared.

The other goblins stood there dumbfounded, unable to comprehend that I would suddenly accelerate this much as they stared blankly at the exploded corpse of the shaman.

After blinking several times to clear my blurry vision, everything came back into focus.

The chat window too… oh, it’s fine.

Fortunately, it seemed the broadcast was functioning smoothly.

Noonaaaaaaa!

No, my heart was racing!

Can you see now???

Are you alright, Noona?

What happened, streamer????

Did you really not see?

“I’m sorry, everyone. The shaman was blocking my sight until just now.”

Snap!

I pulled a Goblin Knight’s head beside me and looked at the chat window.

“For now, let me finish wiping out these creatures. It’s a purge broadcast, after all.”

○○○○

-?

-??

-What’s happening?

-??

-What’s up, streamer?

The viewers watching the broadcast began to raise questions about the streamer’s sudden stop in action.

Under normal circumstances, they’d be expressing questions regarding the streamer’s ‘crazy behavior’ but in this context, with the streamer facing a dangerous dungeon—the Goblin Empire—alone without assistance, it was indeed perplexing when they just halted amidst fighting numerous Goblin Knights.

It was a dangerous situation where one could die in an instant.

-What’s going on?

-Streamer, what’s wrong?

-Goblins are coming! Streamer run away!

-What the hell????

-????

-Run away!!

[‘Rotten Herb’ donated 10,000 won!]

-Run away quickly!

Someone hurriedly sent a donation, but unfortunately, the streamer’s eyes had lost focus.

Wow, that’s ‘Blindness’ right there.

-What’s that??

-That’s a status ailment magic cast by the head of the Goblin Empire’s shamans. It simply takes away sight, regardless of whether you’re S-grade or not.

-???

-That’s a thing?

-This is why the Goblin Empire is so dangerous!

-If your sight is suddenly taken while fighting multiple knights, it can be a death sentence.

Woah, is the streamer in real trouble?

-They said not to go, but I knew they’d still go from the start!

Some viewers realized the streamer’s immobility was due to the shaman’s trickery.

Even the Hunters who had embarked on quests with S-grade Hunters to the Goblin Empire previously had suffered significant losses from this spell.

No matter how skilled a Hunter was, it was natural that they would struggle to cope if their sight was unexpectedly taken away.

As a result, viewers could only imagine the streamer, who had confidently started a massacre broadcast in the Goblin Empire, ending up as a tragic corpse or being dragged off as a goblin’s plaything.

If they were in a situation without even visual sight, that outcome would certainly be defeat.

However, the viewers didn’t anticipate two things.

“I’d actually be better for you to come to me.”

Thud!

-? Wait, is the streamer not blind?

-What’s happening?

One was that the streamer was much stronger than they thought.

Boom!

The other was that the streamer was far more ruthless than they imagined, as there was no holding back.

Bang! Smash!

-Is the streamer seriously not blind?

-It seems like it!

-But how are they still fighting?

-What kind of insane person is this?

-Wait, are they really only fighting by smell and sound? LMAO!

-What the heck?

[Miracle – Divine Body Descent]

While fighting with obscured vision, the streamer used a miracle once again. Originally, about five tentacles had been aiding the streamer in battle, but now, with the tentacles blooming like flowers, the viewers were at a loss for words.

The fleshy tentacles sprouting from the streamer’s waist were surely grotesque, horrifying, and monstrous.

Yet, the streamer referred to herself as a Seongnyeo.

While she usually joked around, her noble and beautiful appearance as a Seongnyeo had not faded, creating a uniquely imbalanced charm that stirred something in the hearts of the viewers.

-What is that…?

-The streamer is definitely S-grade.

-Wow…

-So beautiful yet horrifying.

-It’s disgusting but beautiful…

–Laughs disgusting but beautiful.

-From today, the streamer’s title changes from Divine Maiden to Tentacle Maiden.

-Tentacle Maiden, LOL. Like a protagonist from an eroge!

The chat window for the viewers seemed to be malfunctioning, as the streamer swung her tentacles without hesitation, crushing Goblin Knights.

A B-grade Goblin Knight getting smashed like an insect by a single punch was no longer surprising.

The audience marveled at the sight of the streamer embedding her tentacles into the castle walls and climbing while mercilessly slaying the goblins around her. The awe rose even further when she finally found and slaughtered the hidden Goblin Shaman.

-How did she find that?!

-Is there an Hunter who can solo the Goblin Empire? Woosh!

–Wow…

–Seriously, just keep smashing.

–LOL.

–Wow, she’s really strong!

-So that’s the class of the divine return maiden…?

-Now that I think about it, our streamer is a Seongnyeo, right?

-No way! She’s a berserker right now!

-By removing the root causes of all wounds and injuries, she certainly is a Seongnyeo.

Once the Goblin Shaman had been slaughtered, the focus returned to the streamer’s eyes, as it was captured by the camera.

Noonaaaaaaa!

No, my heart was racing!

Can you see now???

Are you alright, Noona?

What happened, streamer?

“I’m sorry, everyone. The shaman was blocking my sight until just now.”

And holding the Goblin Knight’s neck beside her, the streamer was covered in blood, yet she still looked beautiful.

In fact, the bloodied Seongnyeo seemed to stir the hidden desires within the viewers’ hearts.

“Alright, now let me finish wiping these out. It’s a massacre broadcast, after all.”

At that, the viewers sensed it instinctively.

‘Ah, she’s really going to make Goblin soup from the Emperor Goblin today.’
