Even now that he's back, it's the same. He doesn't have any valuable items with him, so he can't just buy whatever he wants like Rimuru. He doesn't have any law enforcement friends like Ainz Ooal Gown, and he doesn't have a goddess with him like Seiya. So, what is the Shield Hero supposed to do?
Perhaps sensing the ambiguity in his words, Ark looked at the Shield Hero in front of him and said...
"Um... I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were so poor."
The Shield Hero...
So what if I'm poor! Did I eat your rice because I'm poor?
The Shield Hero gritted his teeth and glared at Ark, then took a deep breath and raised his shield, saying...
"Alright, since we're already out here, let's be straightforward: if we win, the Dragon Balls are yours."
Hearing what the Shield Hero said, Ark and Rimuru exchanged a glance.
"He seems to be a powerful figure. Who will take his place?"
"Um, you go ahead, I don't really like fighting," Rimuru said shyly.
"Alright, after all, I started this battle." Ark nodded, then turned his gaze to the Shield Hero in front of him, and said, "Watch out!"
brush!
In an instant, Ark charged directly toward the Shield Hero in front of him, the holy sword in his hand emitting a bright light.
This man, like Rimuru, is a Dragon Ball holder, so their strength should be about the same.
Therefore, Ark immediately used his skills right from the start!
WyvernSlash!
hum!
The blue sword energy transformed into a giant blade, and this beam of light flew directly toward the Shield Hero's body! Faced with the oncoming sword energy, the Shield Hero was also stunned.
Holy crap! Did you really have to go that far? Using such a powerful attack right off the bat! Why didn't you use it when you were fighting Rimuru?!
"Air Shield!"
The Shield Hero quickly raised his shield in front of him! Whoosh! Instantly, an invisible barrier formed, standing directly in front of Naofumi!
boom! !
In an instant, the Flying Dragon Slash collided directly with the air shield! Ark had initially expected this to be a clash between spear and shield, but…
Click.
With a crisp sound, the Shield Hero's air shield shattered... the shield shattered...
Before the power of the Flying Dragon Slash had dissipated, the fierce blade rushed directly toward the Shield Hero, and in that instant, the Shield Hero immediately raised his hand.
“绳盾!”
The shield transformed into a grappling hook, carrying the Shield Hero as he tried to escape the range of the sword energy. However, while he managed to dodge, the aftershocks of the sword energy sent the Shield Hero spinning several times in the air before he crashed to the ground.
Yak...
What's going on? Wasn't that my own attack? The battle is already decided?
Seeing the Shield Hero lying on the ground, Ark quickly went over and asked, "Hey!! Hey!!...Are you alright?!"
Ark looked at the Shield Hero lying on the ground. At that moment, the Shield Hero's body trembled slightly. He struggled to slowly get up from the ground, looked at the wounds on his body, and silently took out a small bottle of medicine from his pocket and dripped it on.
"Your strength... is a little weaker than I thought."
The Shield Hero...
Holy crap! Are you never going to stop?! Are you even mocking me for this?
Looking at the Shield Hero in front of him, Ark finally spoke up, "Alright, give me the Dragon Balls and go back. You'll die if you keep fighting."
Ark belongs to the Order of Good. He is not someone who indiscriminately kills innocent people, but he is not the kind of foolish saint either. If the Shield Hero insists on fighting him to the end, he will not show any mercy.
However, Naofumi struggled to his feet, continuing to raise his shield as he stared at the skeletal knight before him.
"Impossible! The Dragon Balls are my last hope! I will never give them to you!"
"Last hope?" Ark looked at the Shield Hero before him, sensing at that moment that the other man was someone with a story. "You... what happened?"
Yak was very curious about what made this man so persistent.
"Me?" The Shield Hero slowly calmed his turbulent blood and then slowly said, "I... just want to go home."
"Go home?" (x2)
Ark and Rimuru exchanged a glance, and then Rimuru asked curiously.
"Go home? Why don't you just throw away the Dragon Balls and go home? Why..."
"My home isn't in any other world! It's right here! This world is my home!" The Shield Hero shouted hoarsely. At this moment, all the grievances he had suppressed before seemed to burst forth.
"I'm just an ordinary person, why did they send me through time? Why did they send me to save that world? Where is God? Did she even think about sending me back after throwing me there?! I don't want to go back! I don't want to go back to be bullied by those people! I don't want to live that kind of life where everyone hates me anymore! I! Want to go back to this world! Even if it means! Death!!"
Hearing the Shield Hero's words, Ark and Rimuru understood each other's meaning, and at this moment, the two finally realized what was going on.
"You...you're a transmigrator too? Me too!" Ark couldn't help but blurt it out. "Wait? Could it be..."
Ark also looked at Rimuru, who was standing to the side. At that moment, Rimuru nodded silently. "I...I'm also a transmigrator, sir."
As soon as the three of them finished saying "(Li Lihao)," they looked at each other with teary eyes, like old friends meeting again.
At that moment, the Shield Hero looked at them blankly and asked, "So... your wish is also to come back?"
The Shield Hero assumed that the two were similar to him, based on his own experience. However, upon hearing the Shield Hero's words, both of them shook their heads.
After a long silence, Ark finally spoke to the Shield Hero, "Perhaps... you suffered some hardships in another world, but I..."
At this point, Ark mustered his courage and silently removed his helmet. At that moment, an incredibly terrifying skull appeared before everyone.
"At least you're still a human being, but looking like me, I probably can't even be considered a human being anymore."
"What?" Looking at the skeletal knight in front of him, the Shield Hero suddenly felt much more at ease.
Compared to this skeletal knight, although I've had a miserable life, at least I'm still a human being.
Chapter 189 of QQ Group 85: Zabuza Momochi's Intrusion (2104) (278)
Amidst the ruins, the three people who should have been at each other's throats now chatted like three long-lost friends reunited, discussing their lives in this other world.
"That damned princess... no, that bitch! I kindly helped her and this is what happened to me! And those people from that country! They looked down on me just because I'm a support character, even though we're four heroes?! Damn it!" The Shield Hero complained incessantly, while Ark, listening to him, patted him on the shoulder and said...
"Alright, alright, people from that country clearly haven't played games. Anyone who has played games knows that the support role is the real boss."
That's absolutely true. There's always some damage output, but the support characters are limited. Everyone knows that having support characters is crucial.
Taking FGO as an example: the story of Fox Spirit Princess being called Ume Tenri is a perfect example of this situation.
Listening to the Shield Hero's words, Rimuru also quietly said...
"You're lucky, at least you have the chance to be falsely accused of rape. Look at the two of us, we don't even have the chance to be falsely accused."
Ok? ? ?
Hearing this, the old man living alone, who was secretly watching the surveillance footage from a distance, also lowered his head and looked down. "Pshaw, that's pure nonsense."
"Rimuru, you're not bad either. You ran into a dragon as soon as you stepped out the door, and then you started building a country. The two of us are still all alone. You're the real winner in life, okay?"
"Ark, you're still criticizing me? You were max level right from the start, that's not bad. So, your wish is to turn back into a human?" Rimuru asked, looking at Ark beside him.
"That's right. To be precise, they took away my [skin]. Sigh, I must have had nothing better to do than spend money on this skin!" Ark got angrier and angrier. He originally thought the Xenomorph was pretty cool, but look what happened?
"You're fine this way, aren't you? Look, I'm not going to wish to become human again. I've actually come to terms with whether I'm human or not. More than that, I still want to revive my friend."
“Your wish is indeed troublesome.” The Shield Hero nodded. “Alright, since the three of us have our own compelling reasons, let’s settle this with a battle. But don’t worry, I’ll go easy on you. The loser just needs to hand over the Dragon Balls.”
"Alright, that's the only way." Rimuru nodded.
Then the two looked at the Shield Hero, whose meaning was simple: You're the weakest, so just hand over the Dragon Balls, or I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you.
Seeing the two men's gazes, the Shield Hero was incredibly conflicted; he truly didn't want to hand over the Dragon Balls. Just then, two figures appeared before them. Upon seeing them, Rimuru and Ark immediately assumed battle stances. However, the newcomers hurriedly said...
"Don't misunderstand, we... we shouldn't be enemies."
Not an enemy?
Hearing what the two said, Rimuru and the other two silently looked at him. "Who are you?"
"The Hero Association's Rank 39 A-class hero, Zabuza Momochi. This is my subordinate, Rank 40 A-class hero, Haku Minazuki."
That's right, the newcomers were none other than Zabuza Momochi and Haku Mizuki, but it was unexpected that the two of them had joined the Hero Association.
This is understandable, though. Neither of them had any education, experience, or status. Joining the Hero Association would provide them with all of that, plus generous compensation. They could also be hired occasionally to earn extra money. It's not surprising that Zabuza Momochi chose this path.
"The Hero Association? Heroes? Are they here to deal with disasters? Don't worry, the three of us aren't disasters, and we generally won't harm humans," Ark said. After their conversation, he knew what was going on between them, so they (BFCI) were naturally not disasters, and didn't need heroes to deal with them. However…
Zabuza Momochi didn't appear as a hero this time; to be precise, they were hired by the Shinomiya family to steal the Dragon Balls.
The Shinomiya family had, of course, already set up surveillance throughout the city, even granting them access to satellite surveillance, and had hired a large number of heroes and experts, including even S-class heroes! It's clear how much they've invested this time.
However, Zabuza Momochi would never reveal these things. Two against three? That would be suicide.
but……
"I don't know how to fulfill your two wishes, but this one wants to stay in this world." Zabuza Momochi pointed to the Shield Hero in front of him and said, "We were also summoned here by the Dragon Balls, and luckily, we met that person, so we stayed here."
what?
Hearing Zabuza Momochi's words, the Shield Hero was stunned for a moment, and then instantly realized what he meant.
"Are you... telling the truth?"
"That's right, many people know about this. You can find out with a little inquiry. The person's name is Lin Ye. If you take the Dragon Ball to him, he should agree."
Zabuza Momochi said this, and upon hearing Zabuza's words, the Shield Hero showed a look of surprise.

"Alright, thank you very much. I'll go find him now."
After finishing his sentence, the Shield Hero turned around and left. Ark and Rimuru didn't stop him. After all, the Dragon Balls weren't going anywhere, and they should deal with the battle in front of them first.
"Then...shall we continue?"
“Continue!” Rimuru nodded, and in an instant, the two figures charged at each other once again!
then……
"Great Sage! I entrust this to you!"
Rimuru has realized Ark's strength, so now! Substitute fighter goes live!
[Received, activate auto-battle mode!]
In an instant, Ark noticed that Rimuru's eyes had turned from blue to a bright red! At the same time, a flaming sword formed from black flames appeared in Rimuru's hand!
when!
The Flame Sword clashed with the Holy Thunder Sword, and in the next second, black flames spread out and engulfed the Holy Thunder Sword in front of them.
The Black Flame Sword could melt even the hardest diamond, yet...
"Hahaha! As expected of Rimuru! But don't underestimate me!"
Suddenly, red flames burst forth from Ark's Holy Thunder Sword!
A fatal blow! Crimson Flame Execution Sword!
Chapter 190 Skeleton Knight vs. Cute King
boom! ! !
Bright sparks flew from their swords, and red and black flames engulfed everything around them.
Watching the flames engulfing the two, Mizuki Haku silently conjured a small piece of ice and threw it towards the flames—and the result was…
It melts instantly.
"Lord Zabuza, the strength of those two opponents is probably at the Kage level."
"Retreat first."
