The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System

Rock Shatterer!

Could it be?

It may have healed, but now those pesky Wights are gone.

Gowtan, stop!

Get away from that thing!

I'll settle this quickly!

Ghoul Head has evolved into Mad Headder.

Level 40 reached.

Ghoul Head has evolved into Mad Headder

The Ghoul Head's now at least Gowtan's level.

Wh-What just happened?

This sucks.

Episode 4 Existence Evolution

Existence Evolution is a rare event that occurs when certain conditions are met.

Take this!

No way!

What?!

Buff

It primarily refers to monsters

awakening latent abilities and transforming into another species

to escape sticky situations.

Even in Magic World, the exact conditions for Existence Evolution weren't clear.

I can only say we got unlucky.

Gowtan, don't stand in front of it!

Status Effect Stunned

Stunned.

Teal, Paul! Distract the big guy!

Wh-What do you expect us to do?

That thing will kill me if I attack it with magic!

If Gowtan goes down, we're all dead!

We need a path to victory!

Status Effect Paralysis

Status effect: paralysis.

Parry!

I'll draw it to me!

Teal, get Gowtan, and cast Heal and Paralysis Heal on him!

Paralysis Heal

Heal

I have Heal, but I don't have Paralysis Heal.

I used my skill points to increase my attack!

I can't cure paralysis!

What kind of half-assed build is that?

In any case, take Gowtan to a safe place and heal him!

Run!

G-Got it.

People recover from a Mad Headder's poison after three minutes on average.

If I can survive until then...

Teal's Heal will put Gowtan back in the fight.

Heal.

But I had no idea reality would be so different from the game.

Monster: Mad Headder

I'll fight you until Gowtan rallies, Mad Headder!

What? F-rank adventurers can't fight a monster like that.

Idiot!

Let's run while we can!

Once he's dead, we're next!

Wait for me!

That's fine. If they joined the fray, they wouldn't last ten seconds.

I can't afford to defend low-rank adventurers while fighting this guy.

I'm level 16.

Meanwhile, the Mad Headder is level 40.

A single mistake means death!

Our level difference is too great. This situation blows.

I didn't think I'd face such a powerful opponent unprepared.

I wanted to avoid this situation.

It's high-risk, high-return.

It's testing the limits of my abilities.

I wouldn't be a man if this didn't get my blood pumping!

Is that Heavy Knight holding his own against that monster

that knocked down Mr. Gowtan?

Don't be stupid. He's just slowly losing.

It's a miracle he's not dead yet.

If I keep letting the Mad Headder attack, it'll land a blow eventually.

I need to strike back to keep it in check.

Vital Slice!

Vital Slice

Vital Slice sacrifices the reach of the blade.

Because of that, it was considered defective.

But its effectiveness at dealing damage
