The Goblin Slayer is the central character. But there are likely other important characters as well. His companions like the Priestess might be in it. They often accompany him on his adventures and play important roles in battles and in his personal growth. There could also be some characters specific to this volume, like a new ally or a new villain that he has to face.
The main character is the Goblin Slayer himself. He is the one who is on a mission to slay goblins.
One of the key characters is the Goblin Slayer. His past experiences have shaped him into the goblin - slaying machine he is. The Lizard Priest is another important character. His strength and cultural background add depth to the group. The Sword Maiden is also important. Her past traumas related to goblins and how she interacts with the Goblin Slayer can be a significant part of the story in this volume. Additionally, other guild members who may have different opinions on the Goblin Slayer's actions are also part of the character landscape.
Obviously, the Goblin Slayer himself is a crucial character. His Priestess companion also plays an important role. Then there are likely other adventurers who team up with them in this volume, like the Dwarf Shaman perhaps, who brings his own skills and knowledge to the group.
Obviously, the Goblin Slayer himself is a very important character. He is the central figure around which the story revolves. Then there might be his companions, like Priestess, who may play important roles in this volume too, perhaps providing support to the Goblin Slayer in new ways.
Obviously, the Goblin Slayer himself is a very important character. There's also likely to be the Priestess who has been with him in previous adventures.
Not having read Volume 9, we can only speculate. It's possible that there are new characters who are part of an order or organization that has a different view on dealing with goblins. There could be a new female character who is a skilled archer and has her own reasons for hunting goblins. Or perhaps a mysterious figure who seems to know more about the origin of the goblins than anyone else and their presence shakes up the status quo among the adventurers and the Goblin Slayer.
There could be new support characters such as a healer or a mage with unique abilities. These new characters might bring new perspectives to the story. They could also have different relationships with the existing characters like the Goblin Slayer. For example, a new character might be initially skeptical of the Goblin Slayer's extreme methods but later come to understand them.
High Elf Archer is another important character. She is a skilled archer with a somewhat haughty personality. She joins the Goblin Slayer on his quests, and her interactions with the other characters, especially her banter with the Goblin Slayer, are quite interesting.
The main character is obviously the Goblin Slayer. He's the one leading the fight against the goblins.
I haven't read it yet, so I'm not sure about the exact plot. But generally, it might continue the adventures of the Goblin Slayer in his fight against goblins and other threats in that fantasy world.
