Heavy Knight.

(Heavy Knight) Heavy Knight.

A class specializing in defense that protects their teammates

by taking the enemy's attack.

But even compared to other defensive classes,

their skills are hard to use.

Leveling up is difficult because their offensive power is very low.

(That is why...) That is why...

It is known as the strongest class, beyond the misfortune.

Among the participants of this raid quest,

I heard there is one who doesn't take it seriously.

It's you, right, Elymas?

You have the nerve to show up here!

A newbie like you dares to look down on the guild and monsters.

You beat an Ariandype at level 12?

That won't even trick an idiot!

Being an adventurer is not that easy!

I'll kick your ass and get your manners into shape!

This is the worst.

(Episode 3: Raid Quest)

This is the worst.

But a raid quest with a chance of rank promotion?

It'll be hard to find it again if I miss this one.

I know what I must do.

I'm pleased to be under your guidance.

I don't like you, but fine.

All right, Teal!

Let's get this going!

Of course, Gowtan.

Search!

Search. A skill to detect the presence of surrounding beings.

It's rare for a low-level adventurer to have this skill.

I found a monster horde. I think there are around 30 of them.

I see. Good work, Teal.

Sure thing. I have such a useful skill, after all.

So please drop a recommendation for my promotion to E-rank.

My oh my, look who's here.

I heard about what happened in the guild.

Your deed there has turned into quite a rumor, Elymas.

From his equipment, I can tell he's a Red Mage.

- [I'd like to say it's an amazing feat]

- [I'd like to say it's an amazing feat] - They have high physical stats - [I'd like to say it's an amazing feat]

- They have high physical stats - [I'd like to say it's an amazing feat]

- and can learn attack and healing magic. - [if the rumors are true.]

- and can learn attack and healing magic. - [if the rumors are true.] - In addition, they can also learn various support magic. - [Dear me, it is almost believable!]

- In addition, they can also learn various support magic. - [Dear me, it is almost believable!]

Poor you, for getting this defective class instead.

Thanks for the worry.

But I like this class very much.

Hmph! Trying to act cool.

Anyway, make sure you don't get in our way.

In my opinion, Red Mage is the one who has it worse.

A Red Mage can appear powerful as they can do just about everything,

but in the game, it's the jack of all trades but a master of none.

Yet this world is not a game.

It is natural for an easy class to gain a good reputation.

Let me make this clear!

The one leading the undead horde this time is Ghoul Head!

It's a strong one.

I, as a D-rank adventurer, will be the one to hunt it!

All of you, stay away and kill the minions!

I don't wanna get caught in the brawl!

I won't be saving you if you get dragged into the fight!

- What? I'll die. - Seriously?

I'll stay back!

Mr. Gowtan will be occupied with the boss?

So we can't just hang around him?

The Ghoul Head. Estimated to be around level 30.

It has no attack skill,

but its Hades Breath is dangerous because it can raise the undead.

But we have around level 40 D-rank adventurer, Gowtan.

If everything goes as planned, we won't fail.

There is one thing, though...

- I will die. - I'm so dead.

(Timidness) - I will die. - I'm so dead.

(Timidness) Timidness.

(Timidness) I will be alone?

- Weakling adventurers. - Gowtan is super strong.

(Haughtiness)

Haughtiness.

We have veterans who underestimate the raid,

and a sloppy leader who seems bad at caring for the inexperienced.

We have an 80% chance of everyone coming out alive.

In the game, that's a pretty good rate.

But in this world, it won't end with simply a Death Penalty.

Gowtan.

I think it is better to give a clearer instruction.

What did you say?

The undead horde may be different than what was reported.

It will be too late when things have turned south.

- What the hell did he say? - It's not his place!

- Damn Heavy Knight! - Is he for real?!

You shit!

Are you trying to lecture me?!

No, I'm not.

I'm anxious because my level is low and I'm inexperienced as an adventurer.

The others feel the same way I do.

For a veteran, this may seem like a regular, easy quest,

but for our sake, please give us an order!

I'm not good at babysitting, but all right.

Now, now.

For our sake, you said?

The one who is scared shitless of undead minions

is just you, Elymas, with your defective class.

So you got scared right before the quest, and cried like a baby to Gowtan.

I'm scared too, though!

There's no need for orders, Gowtan.

If they're scared, they can fall back instead of getting in the way.

Am I right, Gowtan?

There's no need for orders, Gowtan.

If they're scared, they can fall back instead of getting in the way.

Am I right, Gowtan?

What are you doing?!

Teal! Paul! You're my outriders!

- Follow my lead! - Y-Yes, sir!

The cudgel in its hand doesn't seem to be a rare item.

Then it seems there won't be any trouble.

Let's deal with the big head's minions.

You mean charging into those mobs?

Although they are weak, we'll be dead if we get surrounded!

I thought Gowtan would help cull them!

But he seems too preoccupied with the boss.

Right...

I can't do this! It's impossible!

That's why they look dispirited.

You gotta be kidding me!

It's their first time fighting a monster horde.

Plus, in front of the scary-looking Undead Gate.

Moreover, the orders are unclear.

It's no wonder they feel so hopeless.

Listen up!

Let's divide into groups of three.

If we cover each other's backs, the wights can't flank us.

G-Got it!

We'll do that. But what about you?

I'll be in the front and draw the undead's attention.

I'll buy time for you to get ready.

Y-You seem to be experienced, but it's reckless to do it alone!

It can't be managed by healing!

Besides, aren't you the useless Heavy Knight class?

Parry!

(Common Skill: Parry)

(Common Skill: Parry) Skill: Parry.

Skill: Parry.

Creates an opening by deflecting an incoming attack with a sword or shield.

Parry!

Parry!

Parry!

Disarm!

Rampart Reflection!

(Rampart Reflection)

He defeated them in an instant!

Don't worry!

It's a Heavy Knight's duty to draw the horde's attention.

If you find yourself in trouble, quickly tell your comrades.

I'll also come to help.

He defeated the majority of the mobs alone!

Isn't he a Heavy Knight?

You have reached level 16.

(Acquired 1 skill point) You have reached level 16.

All right! Parry is a lot more useful than I thought!

It's efficient to have so many enemies at this difficulty!

Status!

(Skill: Rampart Reflection, Disarm, Parry Title: Unwavering One, F-rank Adventurer)

Nice!

I'm leveling up nicely!

Didn't he say he'll only draw their attention?

But he's beating so many alone!

Shouldn't we just stay behind him?

He's dependable, but now he's scarier than the monsters.

Don't say that.

We're more or less done.

Elymas, should we visit Gowtan as reinforcement?

Ghoul Head's level is way above our levels.

I think it's best to just leave it to Gowtan.

Not dead yet, you hardheaded monster?!

Teal! Paul!

Distract the wights!

Why are you cowering in the corner like that?!

I won't let cowards like that be promoted!

I know that...

If we move closer, we'll get dragged into the Ghoul Head fight...

We can still support you from here anyway...

Tsk!

Rock Shatterer!

(Rock Shatterer) Rock Shatterer!

Status.

He can do it!

If Gowtan lands one more hit, he'll win!

Yet...

The wights are the problem.

We'll handle the wights!

No, let's wait!

I-It's healing!

So it has the Consume Corpse skill...

A skill that heals the user by devouring undead monsters.

Ghoul Head has a low chance of having that skill.

No, wait, this is odd.

If it's the Consume Corpse,

it doesn't need to consume this many corpses to heal.

Don't tell me...!

It's healing, but now there's no wight on the way!

Gowtan, stop!

Get away from it!

I'll finish this right away!

What?

Ghoul Head has Existence Evolved into Mad Headder.

(Ghoul Head has evolved into Mad Headder) The monster's level has changed to 40.

Monster mutation in the form of Existence Evolution.

It's the worst case.

The power of the evolved monster, Mad Headder, surpasses even Gowtan.

It's not an enemy F-rank adventurers like us can handle.

One square hit can kill us.

Next time: "Existence Evolution".

But this situation is exactly why it's so exciting!
