"The leader was killed by Lord Shield Hero. Is there really no problem?"
"Didn't Master Shield Hero say that the captain is a spy of the Calamity Wave?"
"But the leader has been in office for more than ten years, so there is no reason to suddenly become a spy?"
"Maybe the leader has been brainwashed or betrayed humanity for some reason."
"Is this really possible?"
The soldiers of the Kingdom Knights were discussing as they rushed to Karn Village. After all, the death of their head was a significant issue, and they were filled with doubts.
"Okay, those important people's affairs are beyond our control. The most important thing now is to resist the wave of disaster. Luta Village is ahead, so get ready for battle!"
One of the soldiers shouted, his tone commanding. He was the deputy head of the regiment, more renowned than the fallen leader. He exuded intelligence and appeared to grasp the situation well.
"Yes!"
The soldiers responded in unison, drawing their weapons and preparing for combat.
As they entered Luta Village, they were surprised by the scene before them. The entire village was not under siege by a large number of monsters as expected; instead, only a small group of monsters was engaged in battle with the villagers and Raphtalia.
The soldiers watched in awe as Raphtalia wielded her long sword with precision, cutting down monsters effortlessly. Yet, something felt amiss. There were no cheers from the villagers. It was expected that when the Knights of the Kingdom arrived, the villagers would rejoice at their rescue. Why did they look at them with such indifference?
The soldiers couldn't understand this apparent disconnect.
"Leave it to us! Don't worry; we are your reinforcements!"
Unable to fathom the villagers' reaction, the deputy head shouted to them.
"Ah~~~ After the crisis, the reinforcements finally came!"
"It's really hard work for you. We appreciate your help in cleaning up the monster corpses."
"Actually, you don't have to. Are you just trying to enhance your own achievements?"
Anyone could see that the villagers were being sarcastic. There was no joy in welcoming the Knights of the Kingdom, and a few even spat on the ground in disdain.
"Sorry for our late arrival, but please allow us to explain that this time we were instructed by Master Shield Hero to assist you, not for our own merit."
Facing the cold stares of the villagers, the deputy head bowed deeply, and the other soldiers followed suit, offering their apologies.
What happened next surprised the Kingdom Knights even more. The villagers' expressions shifted dramatically, transforming into smiles.
"It turns out that Lord Shield Hero asked you to come—what a misunderstanding!"
"Please forget what we just said!"
"Allow me to extend my sincerest apologies!"
The villagers became exceedingly enthusiastic, their demeanor changing like the flipping of a page.
No matter how dull-witted the soldiers were, they quickly realized that the villagers' shift in attitude was directly related to Jason, the Hero of the Shield.
Just before they arrived, something must have transpired. The deputy head scanned the area and noticed the numerous monster corpses strewn across the village and its outskirts.
"That means Master Shield Hero must have defeated a large number of monsters before our arrival."
The deputy head murmured, barely above a whisper, but his voice carried in the quietness. The soldiers behind him heard clearly.
At that moment, they understood why the villagers' attitudes had changed so dramatically upon hearing "Lord Shield Hero". It turned out Jason had just saved Lute Village.
"Indeed... Master Shield Hero is a good person. Perhaps the leader truly was a spy for the Calamity Wave," one soldier murmured.
"Yeah, Lord Shield Hero, who rescued Lute Village, doesn't seem like someone who would lie," another confirmed.
As the soldiers reflected, those who had initially doubted Jason began to choose to believe in him.
In the forest a few kilometers away, the corpses of monsters lay scattered across the ground. The three heroes—Motoyasu, Ren, and Itsuki—led their respective adventurers in a fierce battle against a giant zombie.
This giant zombie was even larger than the zombie captain that had appeared in Lute Village. Standing at over five meters tall, it was a more advanced version known as a zombie general.
The equipment on the zombie general was also more sophisticated. It wielded a machete that was bigger than an adult human, resembling a giant warrior heavily armed for battle.
Kitamura Motoyasu and Ren led the melee adventurers, expertly maneuvering beneath the zombie general, seizing openings to deliver continuous strikes and draw its attention.
Standing behind them, Itsuki held the holy bow in his hands. As he pulled back the bowstring, an energy arrow materialized. When he released it, the arrow shot straight toward the zombie general, landing with a thud.
Clearly, Itsuki was responsible for handling the ranged attacks, coordinating with the ranged adventurers to inflict consistent damage.
It felt reminiscent of a group of experienced online gamers biding their time in a dungeon, battling a challenging boss.
"The SP is almost recovered! Let's go for another salvo!"
"Not a problem!"
"Bring it on!"
Under Itsuki's leadership, everyone unleashed their skills simultaneously.
Suddenly, an array of skills, each glowing in vibrant colors, flew toward the zombie general, creating a dazzling spectacle that filled the battlefield with energy.
Upon closer inspection, this round of attacks knocked out over 800 hit points from the zombie general. However, it still had more than 7,000 points remaining.
"Damn it, this boss has way too much health!" Motoyasu grunted as he dodged another swing from the zombie general's machete.
"It doesn't matter! If we keep this up, taking down the boss is just a matter of time. Everyone, continue to recover SP and prepare for the next wave of attacks!" Itsuki encouraged from behind.
As he mentioned, despite the zombie general's imposing appearance and high health bar, its attacking methods were incredibly predictable. It was slow and didn't pose a significant threat.
As long as they maintained their rhythm of attack, no matter how thick the zombie general's health, they could wear it down little by little.
At that moment, Jason, who had just arrived on the scene, shook his head, watching as they unleashed their skills like fireworks.
"These youngsters are really treating this like an online game. I wonder how long it will actually take to defeat this boss. Sigh... I guess it's time for me to step in."
Although Raphtalia and the King's Knights were engaged in Lute Village, Jason felt unease at the thought of something unexpected happening. Without further hesitation, he burst out of the forest and charged toward the zombie general with determination.

Despite Motoyasu and the others landing normal attacks on the zombie general, they were hardly causing any damage at all. The zombie general barely reacted to their strikes. Instead, it swung its machete relentlessly, slashing at the humans scrambling beneath it.
Although the zombie general's attacks were relatively slow, they could be dodged with a little focus. However, as Motoyasu and the others continued to evade, their anxiety began to mount.
Just then, they spotted Jason bursting through the trees from the forest.
"Jason?" Ren Amaki frowned, clearly taken aback by his presence.
"Why are you showing up now? I thought you'd be hiding in a corner because you were too scared."
The relationship between Motoyasu and Jason was strained, and his insult was blunt enough to make people want to retaliate.
"Jason, stop rushing out! If you suddenly join the battle, it will disrupt Motoyasu's rhythm!" Itsuki called out, standing tall and trying to get Jason's attention, realizing that he intended to charge directly at the zombie general.
Jason, however, paid no heed. He had come to deal with the zombie general and complete his selection task, so standing around and watching was not an option.
Seeing Jason's determination, Itsuki frowned, perhaps accustomed to the praise of the adventurers around him, and was dissatisfied that Jason was ignoring his warning. "Jason, do you want to put everyone in danger?"
"It's fine. Jason is a tank. Joining the battle will help share the pressure. Everyone should spread out a bit to make room for him. Jason, just wait for the opportunity to cooperate with us!"
Ren, usually the most composed, spoke up as he watched Jason charge forward, subconsciously viewing him as just another tank.
"Seriously, this guy can do whatever he wants!" Motoyasu grumbled, his irritation with Jason's impulsiveness clear.
At that moment, Jason reached the center of the battlefield. "Motoyasu, lend me your head!"
"Uh?" Motoyasu blinked, caught entirely off guard.
Before he could react, Jason leaped into the air, landing a foot right on Motoyasu's face.
"You..." Motoyasu gasped, feeling as though his nose and neck might snap from the impact; he was at a loss for words.
With that kick, Jason propelled himself upward, aligning himself parallel to the towering five-meter-tall zombie general. Even without this kick, Jason was capable of such a jump, but it was clear that his earlier annoyance with Motoyasu had motivated this move; it was completely intentional.
"Jason, are you out of your mind?" Ren shouted, panic rising in his voice. "You're a tank! Can't you cooperate properly with us? You're not a hero; you're going to get us killed!"
Just as the others feared, they were convinced that Jason's reckless leap onto the zombie general's face would do little more than earn him a fatal blow from its machete.
After all, these individuals were all attacking classes, upgraded by more than 20 levels, yet they still couldn't inflict much damage on the zombie general. As a tank, how could Jason pose any real threat to such a formidable foe?
As Ren and Itsuki had predicted, Jason leaped into the air and clenched his fists tightly. Without performing any flashy moves or skills, he delivered a simple but powerful punch directly to the zombie general's face.
The next second, everyone present widened their eyes in astonishment.
Boom!
A thunderous sound echoed as his fist connected with flesh, sending a shockwave through the air. The zombie general's face caved in beneath Jason's punch, causing it to stumble backward with a pained roar.
With another resounding impact, the zombie general completely fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Ren, Itsuki, and the surrounding adventurers stood in stunned silence, as if turned to stone.
Despite their numerous attacks and the array of skills they had unleashed, none of them had caused the zombie general to lose its footing. Jason, however, had done it with a single blow.
What was happening here?
With so many people my own, isn't it a joke that one punch from someone else was all it took?
"Could it be... Jason is not just a shield hero, but a fist hero?" Itsuki speculated, exchanging doubtful glances with Ren.
"It's possible," Ren replied, still trying to process the scene before them.
Meanwhile, Motoyasu, who had ended up seated on the ground with a footprint on his face, stared blankly in disbelief, his nose bleeding slightly. "Oh my god... this is way too fierce!"
As Jason descended from mid-air, he raised his shield high above his head.
"air Shield! second Shield! third Shield..."
Giant shields formed from spiritual energy materialized in mid-air, extending skyward like a staircase.
Jason ascended the aura shields, making himself appear smaller and smaller in the eyes of Motoyasu and the others.
"Climbing so high, what does he want to do?"
"You ask me? How would I know? It's impossible to think he's attempting suicide!"
The adventurers below exchanged confused looks, unable to comprehend Jason's intentions.
When the aura shield at its highest point vanished, Jason plummeted downwards. However, his fall was not like a typical free fall; he descended with incredible speed.
Before Motoyasu, Ren, Itsuki, and the other adventurers fully understood what was happening, they saw Jason plummet, a pair of wings that appeared to be made of flames unfurling from his back.
At that moment, he accelerated even further and landed squarely on the zombie general, who was just attempting to rise.
Another powerful explosion followed, shaking the very ground.
Winds whipped violently from the point of impact, lifting dust and debris into the air.
Ren and the nearby adventurers struggled to maintain their footing, stumbling backward uncontrollably. Even Itsuki, positioned a little farther away, shielded his eyes with his hands.
And Motoyasu, who was still seated on the ground, was thrown back, scrambling to get out of the way.
"What just happened? How did Jason pull off such a terrifying move?"
Planting his holy sword into the ground, Ren half-knelt to stabilize himself, his gaze fixed in horror on the disarray around him. "Could it be... Jason has already dealt with the boss?"
Listening closely, they soon realized that the sounds of flesh being struck echoed through the settling dust.
As the dust began to clear, they finally got a clear view of what lay within.
Jason sat atop the zombie general, raining down punches onto its face one after another, his frustration palpable. "Why aren't you dead? Why aren't you dead? Your health is too thick!"
As he shouted, the zombie general's health bar visibly diminished with each hit.
At that moment, everyone—brave heroes and adventurers alike—suddenly felt a sense of pity for the zombie general as it was being mercilessly pressed down and beaten.
After all, it was a BOSS; couldn't they spare it some dignity?
