Slayers (スレイヤーズ) is a series of sword and sorcery novels created by [url=https://tvore.com/?page=star&id=110]Hajime Kanzaka.
The [url=https://tvore.com/?page=book&id=245]new novel of Slayers will be released in Autumn and it is a true sequel to the Main Series, ended in May 2000 with the 15th novel.
The Japanese magazine "Dragon Magazine" has prepublished the beginning of these new adventures of Lina Inverse and, spoiler alert, here is a summary !
Lina and Gourry arrived in Zephilia and stopped at an inn in the city of Altessa. They are still heading to Lina's home village, so the story takes place soon after the events of the 15th novel.
5 men noticing that they are not local and after a confrontation easily ended by the slayers victory, the leader turns out to be vigilant in function for the city and is named Randa. The officials are a bit on edge because a band of robbers are making life difficult. The keeper of the inn, a certain McLyle, who seems to emanate a certain authority, explains to them that they are not mere brigands. They steal cargoes and destroy sites linked to the extraction of ore, source of wealth for the city. It seems they're looking for something more than just money and treasures.
As a witness to their abilities, McLyle asks Lina and Gourry for help and she weighs the pros and the cons.
After a meeting with the extremely shy elf Alaina, Lina and Gourry finally accept the offer of employment and conduct the investigation in the nearby forest. Gourry still owns the Blast Sword, but Lina recalls that during her last fight against 1/7 Shabrani Gudu, the latter was forced to destroy the Demon's Blood Talismans and for this reason, some of her most powerful spells are no longer accessible. Using their heads, the slayers come face to face with a small but extremely skilled group. A quick fight ensues, interrupted by the arrival of an official delegation from Saillune, putting the bandits to flight before Lina can identify them.
The delegation is led by Princess Amelia Will Tesla Saillune, former slayer and friend of Lina and Gourry. The latter explains that following the destruction of Phybrizzo, she decided to meet the high dignitaries of each kingdom to talk to them about Mazoku Lords, sharing all the information they collected about them at the risk of their lives.
After the official meeting, Lina and Gourry talk a little with Amelia and tell her about the fight against Dynast Grausherra and 1/7 Shabrani Gudu before returning to their hostel.
The next morning, Lina and Gourry learn the disturbing disappearance of Amelia.
To be continued in the next Dragon Magazine!
