To Ozilla: To answer your question, I didn't change Mash's origins, she's still the Pseudo-Servant we all know and love. What I meant is that she's technically a Half-reincarnation of Sir Galahad since she has the Knight's soul sealed within her body.
To Nagisa Tr: Sorry... but request denied on the armor idea.
To Reader0007: Anna Fidi is based from Rider Medusa from the Fate Stay Night anime franchise. Fun Fact - Fidi actually means "Snake" in Greek.
To BlueXtreme: Answer to your question, it's no. As I slightly mentioned, Mash's origins is still the same. She's still the Demi-Servant of Chaldea who lived a full life with her Senpai after her duties in FGO is done. She just received memories from Sir Galahad about this Cardinal Hero business when she became Naofumi's partner. It's Sir Galahad who became a Cardinal Hero alongside Shirou Emiya and Arturia Pendragon in one of the previous Wave cycles. Who the Spear Hero of the time is still up for debate.
To Vasukiev: I'm not sure if I can handle doing that. Going inside the minds of those two idiots will be really exhausting. All I can say is a wait and see for now.
- Their Spirit Partners won't be awakening for a good long while as they still aren't taking their Hero duties seriously.
To Darksun2002: Thanks for the additional info. But I think I will regard them as Passive progression methods instead of actual Strengthening methods. It actually explains why the companions of the other Heroes were SOOOOOOO weak compared to Naofumi's. The bond between them and the 3 idiot Heroes isn't very strong or genuine enough to trigger the Trust method.
- And the reason why they referred to the Status Window as Stacia Window is because that's how Eugeo called it. In the anime Canon, it was Ren who told the others about the Status Window. But Eugeo replaced him and called it Stacia Window instead because that's how citizens from the Underworld called them.
To Have a Little Feith: I realized that some time ago but thanks anyway for the concern and advice. I hope you continue to enjoy this story that I'm changing into my own version of it.
To BlazeBlade: The Completion Series is something that I made up.
- Mash is from the anime Fate Grand Order. She is an artificial human created for an experiment to become a vessel for Sir Galahad's soul. Technically becoming Sir Galahad's reincarnation and successor.
- I didn't know about the Disk Shield but let's just say that the Shape Manipulation ability is more versatile so Naofumi prefers it over that.
- Right again, Poison Capsule definitely came from Maple's Toxic Capsule.
- Eugeo will be fighting in Siltvelt's Wave, not Shieldfreeden's. I took a look at the World Map and it was mentioned in the anime that Shieldfreeden is just too far for Eugeo to reach in time. Shieldfreeden is also said to be more welcoming to Humans, so Eugeo wouldn't have needed a disguise if he is going there.
- I might change the Skills and Attack power Eugeo gets, but everything else will be just as you suggested it. Thank you so much for the Wave Boss Ideas! Thanks a lot. :-D
TO EVERYONE WHO MENTIONED ABOUT IT: The [Shield of Achilles] and [Valkyrie's Blade] are actually from the anime Beyblade Burst Turbo. Hehehehe... I just named it [Shield of Achilles] as some kind of Holy element Shield, NOT as a future Noble Phantasm. So sorry if a few are disappointed, Akhilleus Kosmos won't be happening. :-(
- Excalibur and Lord Camelot are Noble Phantasms, not just simple Weapon Skills. In this story, these two will be the strongest possible attacks for Eugeo and Naofumi's arsenal once they fully mastered the Blessed Series.
- Unlocking and using Arturia's Excalibur and Mash's Lord Camelot won't be taken lightly. They are the embodiment of the pure hopes and dreams of the world itself after all. So I hope you all understand why it will be a long long long long LONG while before they get to use their Noble Phantasms full power.

TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED: As a result from all the votes, Eugeo will get one Strengthening method from one of his predecessors in the future. PLEASE read new vote questions at the bottom.
It's now evening and in one of the more hidden areas of Melromarc's forest is the Sword Hero and his party in the middle of a discussion. With a Silencing Spell in effect just to be safe, Eugeo and his comrades are now talking about his plans for the Wave.
"You want me and Rifana to NOT use our disguises during AND after the Wave?" Anna asked in confusion. After all, Eugeo has done a pretty good job in keeping their Demi-Human heritage a secret. Although they know fully well that their secret won't last forever. That's the entire reason why both Anna and Rifana willingly turned themselves into Eugeo's slaves as a fail safe against Demi-Human haters, but still.
"Alice and I talked about it in length... and we actually came up with a PRETTY clever plan for the King, the Princess and the Church that we will be setting up at tommorow's Wave. A way to reduce their influence amongst their followers without labeling ourselves as enemies. As well as to explain how you two have been able to disguise yourselves as humans for so long." Eugeo said with a small uncharacteristic smirk
Using her now improved Telepathy, Alice said to all of them, 'It's almost a given that the Shield Hero would decide to handle the Wave minions. So once the Wave begins, we want Anna, Rifana and Arthur to fight alongside Naofumi. Containing the monsters that could potentially destroy nearby villages as best as you can. Meanwhile, the Bow Hero and Spear Hero will most likely go for the Wave Boss. Which one Eugeo and Kirin would decide to help will depend on who needs him more.
"As for the plan, I hope all of you can understand... but it will have a much higher chance to succeed if we DON'T tell you all of the details about it. The reaction and emotion you will display when the trap has been sprung would have to be genuine if we want it to work." Eugeo explained.
While Arthur's young mind failed to grasp much of what's being discussed, he at the very least understood that NOT knowing about the details is better so he simply nodded. Meanwhile, the rest of Eugeo's companions were all a bit reluctant... but ultimately accepted their leader's decision.
"So this is what we're going to do..."
The sun is now revealing itself from the horizon as the first light of morning signaled the start of another day.
But to the common citizens of Melromarc, they are all on edge as they bolted their doors and stayed inside their homes. Because the Wave of Catastrophe is finally here.
A group of Castle Soldiers are now at the ready as they sat upon their horses while several groups of Adventurers are grouping up so they can join the battle if possible.
Unfortunately for all of them, the Spear and Bow Heroes still aren't taking this world as seriously as they should be.
The Bow Hero is simply mingling with the other Adventurers and citizens who are showering him with attention. The Spear Hero on the other hand is inside one of the more expensive inns, killing the time with his party of girls.
Naofumi, on the other hand, is currently managing his Item Storage. It has gotten a little clattered since Mash heavily suggested that he should make Antidote potions at the small chance that the Wave will have Poisonous Monsters. Placing his Potions in order at the quick grab slots so they can be easily pulled out when needed.
He is now wearing his newly made equipment named [Vigilante's Armor] , which is actually a slightly improved version of Erhard's original work [Barbarian Armor]. Seriously... he really looked more like a villain in Erhard's first creation.
Fortunately, he still had a few days to spare and several ores from Lute's mines when he returned to Castle Town. Thus, the Shielder managed to have the gear upgraded into a better and less villainous looking armor.
He now wears a dark brown body armor with black pants that had two black straps on his thighs, and another two strapped around his shins separate from each other. His feet now equipped with black metal plated shoes, which appear to be attached to his trousers. His signature green coat is now being outlined by lime framing designs and his two separate sleeves connected by a metal plate at the back which covered his arms. (A fusion between Naofumi and Archer EMIYA'S outfits)
Naofumi can proudly claim that he looked pretty badass now, especially when he uses the replica of Mash-senpai's shield. Although Mash advised to him not to use her Shield in the presence of the Three Heroes Church as it might cause an even bigger uproar than necessary.
Raphtalia, on the other hand, is wearing an improved [Sword Trainee's Armor]. It's a slightly light-weight equipment that comes with a breastplate and armored boots.
Things would have been close to perfect if he could only use his newly acquired shield that has just been completed...
[Weapon Creation: Moon Aura Shield]
[Quality: Very High - Base Defense: 150]
[Mastery: 0/175 - Resonance: 0%]
[Equip Bonus: Lunar Guard - Lv. 0]
[Extra Equip Bonus: MP Increase(Medium), SP Increase(Medium), Reduced MP usage(Medium), Reduced SP usage(Medium)]
[Exclusive Ability: Glowing Illumination - Lv. 0]
Level 50 Required
It will take some work, but with Mash and Raphtalia's help, Naofumi is confident that he can reach Level 50 by the time the next Wave hits.
Enlightened by the fact that the resulting shields from the [Weapon Creation] function are better than individual forms, Mash proposed that Naofumi tries to experiment on more exotic materials in the future. Something that the current Shield Hero is quick to agree on.
Naofumi also recalled Erhard telling him that Eugeo now owns a carriage which is loaded with a few boxes of Healing Potions and spare weapons that he purchased a few days prior. Saying that a majority of them is meant for the civilians that might get caught up in the crossfire of the coming Wave.
Mash strongly suggested that they do the same at the next Wave as she approved of his fellow Hero's course of action. Especially now that he can create Potions of his own and has extra funds to spare for other expenses.
As the Shielder finished his business with his inventory, Raphtalia cleared her throat and called out to gain his attention.
"Um... Master Naofumi?"
"Yeah? What is it Raphtalia?" Naofumi mumbled in response as he closed his Stacia Window and turned towards her.
"I... just wanted to thank you. For everything you have done for me. You bought me full warm meals instead of table scraps... you gave me precious medicine for my illness instead of just ignoring it... and you gave me a reason to fight and live on with my life." Raphtalia spoke with strong emotions in her voice as she remembered all the good her Master Naofumi has done for her.
"So I promise that I will be your sword forever... I know that you can hold your own in a fight, especially now that you have Lady Mash LITERALLY attached to your arm. But know that wherever you go... I will be there with you."
Naofumi stayed silent, as he doesn't really know how to reply to a heartfelt declaration like that. It was only thanks to the stern insistence of Mash that he managed to step forward and start giving Raphtalia headpats between her ears. Something the young woman seemed to enjoy greatly if her tail wagging is anything to go by.
"Thank you..."
His words were barely above a whisper, but Raphtalia's sensitive ears heard him all the same.
Naofumi looked at his Hud as the timer steadily gets reduced to zero.

A golden light quickly envelopes the party of two as they are instantly teleported to Wave's location.
The Four Legendary Heroes, along with their respective parties, suddenly found themselves in a forest clearing. Trying to get their bearings, Eugeo and Naofumi looked up at the sky and their eyes widened slightly at the sight.
The sky itself now had a foreboding blood red color as numerous Dimensional rifts opened up and began raining countless monsters down to the world below.
While Eugeo and Naofumi were assessing the situation, the other two Heroes dashed past them to a certain direction, followed by twelve other people.
The remaining two Heroes could only groan in frustration before nodding at each other in friendly greetings.
True to Erhard's words, Eugeo is currently at the driver's seat of a carriage which is attached to some kind of giant bird creature instead of a horse. The two also noticed how better equipped the other Hero is compared to before.
Eugeo then turned to his companions who are still inside their transport, "Alright, everyone hold hands!"
"Gather around with us Naofumi." the Sword Hero announced as he held out his hand for the party of two to join them. "Since we both have the Mindscape Ability, we can now perform a Synchronized Mindscape! Hurry!"
Naofumi didn't know that they could do that but he quickly nodded his head as he and Raphtalia approached his fellow Hero and grabbed his hand
'Alice!'
'Mash'
' 'Understood! Initiating Synchronized Mindscape!' '
The two Spirits successfully pulled the two Cardinal Heroes and all their companions into the Mindscape. Well... almost all, as Eugeo and Alice decided not involve Arthur since he won't be much help in planning an attack anyway.
The scenery is now a fused version of the Sword and Shield Spirit's individual Mindscapes. Which is the meadow of Rulid village that has now been covered by a thin blanket of freshly fallen snow. Alice and Mash both settling with their favored attire which is their Angel forms.
'Sir Galahad's armor isn't so bad, but the angelic robes are a lot more comfortable.' Mash commented to Naofumi during her first time trying it.
Eugeo and Naofumi once asked them why don't they try to use the forms they got from the other Series. But the only response they got is a burning blush and a soft admission that the other forms were all very... skimpy, revealing and embarrassing to wear. Causing the two Heroes to shut up and leave the matter alone.
When the cavalry opened their eyes and finished marveling the result of a Synchronized Mindscape...
WEEELLLL... an unexpected situation ensues as two best friends stared at each other in shock and disbelief.
"Ri- RIFANA!"
"RAPHTALIA!"
Eugeo and Naofumi both felt a bit dumbfounded as they watched the two Demi-Humans ran towards each other in tears. Giving the other the biggest hug that they can muster as they both started to cry their eyes out in sheer happiness. Sinking too the ground and on their knees as they continued to shed tears of joy.
"So you're in a Cardinal Hero's party too?!" the two friends exclaimed as they couldn't believe their luck!
After all, their lives have been torn apart in the aftermath of the 1st Wave...
they endured slavery as they were severely abused by different masters...
only for both of them to end up being taken in and cared for by a Cardinal Hero...
and now they got reunited at the very same event that caused all of their suffering in the first place!
The sheer amount coincidences that led to their reunion is mind boggling. Raphtalia and Rifana continued to check if this is real, trying to make sure that this isn't just a pleasant dream that they are going to wake up from.
Meanwhile...
"What's going on here?" Naofumi softly asked the others.
"That girl is Rifana. She is a slave that Sir Eugeo helped and later allowed to join us a week ago. She DID mention that she wanted to look for her best friend that was taken from her. But we never imagined that Raphtalia would be THAT friend that she was talking about!" Kirin explained with a SLIGHT lie about how Rifana joined them as she watched the scene with a wide smile.
"Talk about an insane coincidence." Anna commented as she watched the beautiful reunion with teary eyes.
Hearing this, everyone else in the Mindscape couldn't help but feel happy for the two reunited friends.
But after giving the two friends a minute for themselves, Eugeo and Naofumi finally called out to their respective companions. Reminding them that they are quite LITERALLY, about to fight against an Apocalyptic event!
Causing the two friends to separate in quiet embarrassment as they apologized to their respective Masters for forgetting about their duties. Though Raphtalia made sure to thank Eugeo while Rifana thanked Naofumi for taking care of their precious friend.
Mash then introduced herself to everyone, going so far as to give Alice a big hug in happy greetings to a fellow Spirit...
The two Spirits informed them that they have about 10 minutes before they returned to the real world thanks to the Synchronized Mindscape. Thus giving the two Heroes more time to share some info with each other and to formulate their plans on how they're going to handle this Wave.
Alice activates Map Projection... both to show the Shielders the new skill and as preparation for their Battle plans.
Naofumi, Raphtalia and Mash both watched in amazement as a 3 Dimensional map is formed right before their eyes.
"How did you do that?" Naofumi asked curiously as Mash admits of not knowing about this Skill.
Eugeo explains with an apologetic smile while scratching his cheek, "I actually unlocked this Skill by completing the Map Series. This is done by absorbing the Map of each country with the final one being a World Map. I apologise for not sharing this with you sooner."
"It's alright." Naofumi assured with a chuckle. As he himself ALSO forgot to share something with his fellow hero, "I guess that makes us even... since I also have a breakthrough that I forgot to share with you back when I gave you that Orb call."
Naofumi then shared his knowledge about [Skill Enhancement] , very happy that he FINALLY had something valuable to share with his fellow Hero. Causing a notification to appear before Eugeo...
[Skill Enhancement Unlocked]
A Legendary Hero can strengthen certain Skills or Abilities of their choosing by spending specific materials for it to "Level up". This increases its effectiveness and also shortens the cooldown period. The catch is that a Hero can only do this 10 times before the Skill or Ability reaches its full power and each "Level Up" requires greater and rarer materials.
After giving the Shield Hero a big thank you for sharing such useful information, Eugeo voiced out his confusion of why Alice didn't know about this Strengthening Method. Which in turn, caused this feature to remain absent on his Stacia Window.
That is when Mash and Alice stepped in after the two Spirits had a private chat between themselves...
"I think have the answer for that question." Mash said as she decided to go first, "The thing that you have to understand is that the Legendary Weapons are reflected by the wielder's beliefs. Only when the Hero and the world itself acknowledges a certain function to be true, can that feature be unlocked for the Hero's use."
"Which explains why Naofumi doesn't have the [Perfect Weapon Control] and the [Weapon Copy] function. He didn't unlock them simply because he didn't know about them." Alice added.
Upon learning this fact, Eugeo is quick to explain to his fellow Hero how [Perfect Weapon Control] and [Weapon Copy] works. Thus unlocking the strengthening method and extra function to the Shield Hero's arsenal.
Although Eugeo did request to the Shielder to not abuse the [Weapon Copy] system too much. As it's almost no different to stealing a Blacksmith's pride and hard work. Something that Mash furiously agreed upon.
"If that's how these strengthening methods work... does that mean Itsuki and Motoyasu also have different strengthening methods of their own that we don't know about?" Naofumi inquires, which Mash and Alice are quick to confirm.
Mash hypothesized, "I have a suspicion that the reason that Alice and I don't know about the other strengthening methods is so that all Four Cardinal Heroes would be encouraged to see that they NEED each other to combat the Waves of Catastrophe."
"Which means... only when all four Cardinal Heroes share with each other their information, can they unlock each other's strengthening methods." Alice reluctantly concluded as she laid down the facts.
Everyone in the Mindscape, even the mild-mannered Rifana, groaned. As achieving that level of unity is going to take a lot of work.
All of them were already informed of how the Heroes have been severely divided, no thanks to the King, the Princess and the Church's corruption and manipulations.
To make things even worse, Itsuki and Motoyasu are still not taking their duties as Heroes seriously as their Spirit Partners still remain silent. So telling them about their own strengthening methods just might cause bigger problems down the line as they simply CAN'T be trusted to use their power responsibly yet.
Which is why all of them agreed that it's best to keep information about [Perfect Weapon Control] and [Skill Enhancement] a secret from Itsuki and Motoyasu. At least until the manipulators are finally out of the picture.
"We will have to shelve these problems for now..." Eugeo advised, "Let's handle one problem at a time... the current Wave comes first."
"Right!" everyone agrees in chorus.
Alice quickly adjusted the 3D map of today's Wave and they all noticed something troublesome...
"Those idiots are going at the wrong way." Naofumi said with a bitter grunt as he noticed the highlighted Bow and Spear icon arrows on the map. The big red dot, which is most likely the Wave Boss that needed to be defeated, is slightly off course from the path the other two Heroes were taking.
"That's the least of our problems. Look at this." Eugeo said grimly as he expanded the map. Showing the path the Wave Boss and a huge chunk of the Wave minions are going.
"Their heading straight for... Lute Village?!" Naofumi exclaimed in frustration as he recognized the terrain on the map.
Both Raphtalia and Rifana couldn't help but experience very unpleasant flashbacks of how their own village got destroyed.
Eugeo quickly orders Kirin to use her Enhanced speed and catch up with the Bow and Spear Heroes. Helping them find the Wave Boss and fight alongside them if need be. Meanwhile, the rest of them will climb aboard Arthur's carriage and go straight for Lute Village.
With a plan made, Alice and Mash sends everyone out of the Mindscape.
Kirin dashes away while the others quickly piled up inside Arthur's carriage and rode to their destination.
"Arthur, full speed ahead to that Village!"
The situation in Lute Village is rather grim. The barricades that the locals hastily made were easily breached by the hoards of Zombie Monsters that originated from the Dimensional rifts.
Many of the men are desperately trying to fight them back. At the very least, so they can buy time for the women, children and elderly to escape with their lives. But there are simply too many Monsters. It won't be long before they are completely overrun.
One unlucky man was about to be killed by a Zombie Monster while a mother not too far away desperately tried to protect her child from the swarm of Dimensional Hornets that were about to attack them
Fortunately for them...
the Heroes have arrived.
"Air Strike Shield Cannon!"
"Luminous Slash!"
A rapidly spinning green shield arrived that smashes through the attacking Zombies and everything else that happens to be in its path. Saving several men that were about to be overwhelmed by the hoard.
Above everyone's heads, a powerful shockwave of Holy energy exterminated a huge chunk of the swarms of Dimensional Hornets that were flying about. Saving the previously cornered mother and child along with many other people that were being attacked by the insects.
"Two of the Heroes are here!"
"It's the Sword Hero and Shield Hero!"
"They'll save use!"
A few citizens cheered as Eugeo quickly pulled the carriage over to the group of people.
"All of you NEED to evacuate! The Wave Boss and a large hoard of its minions is on its way to this village as we speak!" Eugeo urgently announced, causing much distress to the listening villagers.
"There's boxes of Healing potions and spare weapons inside this carriage! Please help in getting everyone out of here while we handle the monsters!" Naofumi loudly ordered as he steps out of the carriage. Snapping the despairing villagers out of their stupor as their Demi-Human companions were quickly arming them with proper weapons instead of the pitchforks that they were previously using.
Anna, Raphtalia and Rifana were quickly ordered by their respective Masters to ride on Arthur's carriage to accompany and protect the villagers in evacuating the rest of the citizens. Arthur and the girls reluctantly obeyed but promised to return as soon as the Lute citizens are safe.
"Let's clear a path for them."
"On it."
The two Heroes quickly activating their Weapon Skills.
Eugeo's sword and Naofumi's shield gets enveloped by a cyclone of wind with a greenish glow as they implemented their respective Combat Skills. Turning the once blunt attacks into something more dangerous!
"Air Strike Horizontal Slash!"
"Air Strike Shield Cannon!"
Because Eugeo and Naofumi fired their attacks roughly at the same time towards the re-assembling Zombie hoard, something weird occurred. The two attacks started to fuse together, turning itself into an even more devastating attack! Naofumi's Air Strike Shield grew larger as four blades sprouted around it as it spins forward.
The combination attack instantly plowed right through the monsters and reduced the hoards of Zombies into smithereens as soon as it made contact!
Shocking the villagers, their party members and even the Heroes themselves as they witnessed the incredible power the Cardinal Weapons are capable of.
[Combo Skill Unlocked]
[Air Strike Windmill Shuriken]
"I... didn't know we could do something like that." Eugeo confessed as he stares at the result of their combined power.
"Me neither." Naofumi absently admitted with the same expression on his face.
Shaking there heads, the two Heroes quickly ordered the carriage to get going. The villagers all bowed in immense gratitude before they quickly left alongside the Heroes' parties in evacuating the rest of Lute's inhabitants.
"So... want to try a different Combo Skill?" Naofumi couldn't help but grin as a new batch of Zombies and Dimensional Hornets started to replace the ones they have defeated earlier.
"Well... I guess we could try a few." Eugeo chuckled as his curiosity is slowly getting the better of him.
Alice and Mash simply sighed with a hint of amusement as they watched their respective partners slightly enjoying this battle. Then again, because of their quick arrival, the two spirits haven't sensed a single human casualty. So letting the boys enjoy themselves for just a TINY bit might not be so bad.
They'll do a much better job in keeping the damages at the minimum if they worked together anyway.
"Scattered Shot!"
"Chaos Spear!"
Itsuki and Motoyasu fired their attacks at the hoards of Zombies and Hornets that were blocking there path. Killing a lot of them quite easily, but not all of them.
They were trying to get to the location of the Wave Boss as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, the Wave minions are making things more difficult than it should be. While they are very weak, they compensate for that by using sheer numbers. It also doesn't help that their companions aren't doing a good job in helping them fight.
They were about to continue their trek when Kirin dashed passed them with wind enveloping her legs and her sword glowing a crimson red...
"Citrus Bloom!"
She crashed against the large mob of Zombies like an iron ball against bowling pins! Wiping out almost all of the monsters in one fell swoop!
"Great job Kirin!" Motoyasu praised.
"Yeah!" Itsuki agrees but noticed that she's alone. "But why are you all by yourself? Where's Eugeo and the others?"
"Sir Eugeo sent me here to inform that all of you are going at the slightly wrong direction. He used one of his detection skills and said that the Wave Boss and a great number of its minions are moving in the East, heading straight for a nearby village!"
Kirin's answer alarmed the two Heroes.
"Sir Eugeo, with a little help from Sir Naofumi, are quickly evacuating the village's citizens. As soon as they're done, Eugeo will be ready to jump in to help you two against the Wave Boss if he REALLY needs to. Otherwise, he will stay put and keep the damages the Wave minions are causing to the village at the absolute minimum."
The two Heroes smiled in approval and felt a bit sheepish for acting a bit too rashly.
"That sounds fine." Itsuki replied as he scratches his head in embarrassment, "I suppose we were a bit TOO hasty in going after the Wave Boss. We totally forgot about the possible settlements that the rest of the Wave will be targeting."
"I guess we did. At least Naofumi is doing SOMETHING to help." Motoyasu reluctantly admitted.
With the two Heroes in agreement, Kirin quickly steered them at the correct direction. All the while angering Myne and the other High-standing Adventurers more and more as Kirin later continued to outshine them with her pure skill and fighting capabilities alone.
Especially when Itsuki and Motoyasu started to engage the Wave Boss a few minutes later.
"Luminous Windmill Shuriken!" Eugeo and Naofumi proudly declared as a large, golden Shuriken is created from their combined skills.
The Combo Skill is then unleashed upon the groups of Zombie Generals that have started to appear amongst the hoards of weaker Zombies. This time, the attack also caused an explosion of holy purifying energy. Killing even the Zombies that were outside of the attack's immediate blast radius!
True to their words, Eugeo and Naofumi experimented with a few more combinations. But they soon settled with using the Luminous Windmill Shuriken since the Zombies are naturally very weak against attacks with a Holy affinity.
Eugeo also felt very impressed when he saw Naofumi effectively using an enlarged, cross-shaped Legendary Shield in actual combat. Taking advantage of its size and weight to deliver powerful {Shield Swing} skills and delivering somewhat acrobatic kicks. It was noticable that he still haven't mastered shield combat yet, but it's very impressive progress for such a short period of time.
Things started to get even better when the rest of the cavalry returned...
"Faust Tornado!"
Arthur flapped his wings as he casted a fairly strong cyclone attack, exterminating quite a lot of Dimensional Hornets.
"It talks?" Naofumi's eyebrow twitched ever so slightly when he saw the giant chicken cast wind spells. Even more so when it called Eugeo his father. Then again, the Sword Hero did admit to him later that he raised Arthur from an egg. So it's only natural that it imprinted on the bird's mind to see Eugeo as his parent.
"Zweit Lightning Speed!"
Anna declared as she recasted a lightning enhancement spell upon herself, giving her an insane speed boost for a limit period of time. Allowing her to zip around the battlefield, killing Zombies and Hornets left and right in a blink of an eye! Leaving faint traces of electrical streaks in her wake.
"Double Brutal Squall!"
Raphtalia and Rifana moved in sync as they kicked off the top of a nearby watchtower.
The best friends then performs a mid-air forward somersault, reversing their grip at their swords. The two then thrust their respective swords downward as they crashlanded into the ground. At that moment, a seismic shockwave is released in all directions within a medium sized radius. All the Zombies that just happened to be inside the blast area were instantly pulverized while those outside were sent flying.
With the combined efforts of the 2 Heroes and their parties, the Wave minions are slowly starting to thin out. The only thing left to do is prepare to fight the Wave Boss in the event that the Spear and Bow Heroes failed to prevent it from reaching Lute Village.
But suddenly out of nowhere...
'Naofumi!'
'Eugeo!'
' 'There's an attack coming from above!' '
Mash and Alice warned their partners of the impending danger.
Multiple fireballs were launched from the outskirts of the village. The fireballs made their way into the sky and converged high above them before exploding. Causing fire to rain down towards the village bellow!
Naofumi gritted his teeth as he watched...
Although the {Sacred Guard} skill that he received from the [Shield of Achilles] is big enough to protect all of them. That still doesn't change the fact that Lute Village will be burned to the ground if they don't do something!
However... the Shield Hero and everyone else stared in amazement and shock at what happened next.
Eugeo grips his sword with both hands tightly by his side as he transforms it into the Aquarion Blade. Closing his eyes in concentration before snapping them open and loudly activating...
"Enhance Armament!"
The sword's gem shined a blinding blue light as multiple magic circles surrounded the blade. Then all of a sudden, a gigantic whirlpool of water erupted from the sword as Eugeo glared at the approaching fire storm.
"AQUARION TYPHOON! ! !"
With a single mighty swing of the aquatic tornado...
The extremely widespread rain of fiery destruction got reduced to steam in one fall swoop! Not one fireball got through Eugeo's overwhelming Water attack as all the Dimensional Hornets also got completely wiped out in the process!
Naofumi and everyone else ran over to check on Eugeo as they saw his blade returning to normal. Stabbing his sword to the ground as he dropped down to his knees in clear exhaustion!
"Are you alright Eugeo/Father?!" they all asked in worry.
"*gasp* I'm okay everyone. I just... *breath* underestimated how much energy I already spent in fighting the Wave minions *Wheeze* before I ended up using Enhance Armament." Eugeo tiredly answered as he gasped for breath while grabbing a bottle of SP and MP potions, causing his friends to sigh in relief.
"So that's the power of Perfect Weapon Control..." Naofumi commented in awe, "I really have to work harder if I ever want to do something like that too."
"I'm sure you will... Just be very careful with the energy consumption." Eugeo advised with a chuckle as he drank his potions before they suddenly heard the arrival of the Castle Soldiers.
"Let's talk about that later." Eugeo said to the Shielder before he stood up with an angry expression on his face, "I have to TEACH those soldiers a lesson."
"W-where the heck did all THAT come from?!" the leading soldier with a mustache, loudly cursed in anger. His perfect plan to "accidentally" kill the Shield Hero being met with failure!
"I was about to ask you the same thing." Eugeo coldly spoke as he slowly approached the Castle Soldiers with an extremely intimidating glare.
"S-Sir Sword Hero?! I-I didn't know you were here!" the man stuttered in fright as he took a step back.
"If you didn't know that my party and I were here..." the Sword Hero's eyes narrowed in rage, "then that would mean you didn't even bother to check whether the villagers were all safely evacuated?"
"Uhh... W-Well... I...!" the corrupted soldier paled and sweated even more as he had no idea what to say!
With a burst of insane speed, Eugeo appeared in front of the man and punches him right at the face. Giving the soldier a minor whiplash, a dislocated jaw and a few shattered teeth flying out! Inevitably rendering the stupid Castle Soldier unconscious!
"Does anyone have a problem with that?" the Sword Hero coldly growled to the rest of the Castle Soldiers. Unsurprisingly, everyone of them shook their heads and said no in fear. Eugeo knelt down to pick up the golden badge that the corrupted soldier had on his chest plate and crushed it to pieces.
"By my authority as the Legendary Hero of the Sword. Under the crimes of endangering the lives of innocent people because of his stupidity. This man is to be immediately stripped of his rank and be reduced into cleaning animal droppings at the Stables until the next Wave! Receiving no merits whatsoever in fighting this battle!" Eugeo loudly declares as he crossed his arms and angrily eyed the remaining soldiers and their second captain, "AM I COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD!"
"SIR YES SIR!"
"Now... do your jobs properly this time. Defend this village INSTEAD of burning it to the ground like what you tried to do earlier. AM I CLEAR?!"
"SIR YES SIR!"
"GOOD! You're all dismissed."
With that, the remaining soldiers scrambled away so they can start taking care of the remaining Wave minions.
Unknown to them though, the Legendary Sword Hero collapsed to the ground in mental exhaustion as soon as they were out of sight. Eugeo barely managed to pull that high authority act by channeling a little bit of his mentor, Golgorosso Balto, when he gives disciplinary measures against unruly behavior.
Naofumi and Anna were now both laughing their heads off for such a hilarious show of giving that prejudiced Soldier his just desserts! Meanwhile, both Raphtalia and Rifana are quite shocked at Eugeo's outburst of dealing with the Castle Soldiers.
Arthur, being the innocent boy that he is, barely understood what happened other than his Daddy showing those soldiers who's the Big Boss here!
Anyway, with Lute Village in a much more stable state and the Castle Soldiers taking care of the remaining monsters... Naofumi suggested that Eugeo along with his party, to go help defeat the Wave Boss while he and Raphtalia get busy in healing the injured Lute citizens. When asked why not come with them, the Shielder flat out confessed that he simply wanted to stay as far away as possible from Bitch Princess and the 2 stooges.
And so, Eugeo, Anna and Rifana all climbed aboard Arthur's back and dashed away towards the location of the Wave Boss.
"Thunder Arrow!"
"Air Strike Javelin!"
Itsuki fired a lightning laced arrow while Motoyasu launched his wind powered spear at the Chimera which is this Wave's Boss. A Monster that has the head of a Ram, Lion and Dragon with a poisonous Viper for a tail.
When the two attacks connected, it finally reduced the creature's HP by its last quarter point.
The other so called adventurers on the other hand, were only doing light damage with Myne and Kirin being the only exceptions.
"This would have been over by now if only Eugeo is here!" Itsuki couldn't help but complain as he leaped away to dodge the Chimera's retaliatory attacks.
Motoyasu could only agree as he called out, "No kidding! Hey Kirin! How far away are we from the village that we're supposed to protect?!"
"We're actually not that far! So we have to finish this quickly!" Kirin replied before making a mad dash and sliced a big wound on one of the Chimera's legs to slow it down.
Right on que, Eugeo with the rest of his party finally arrives as they broke through the foliages of the forest.
"It's about time you got here Eugeo!" Itsuki and Motoyasu both yelled.
"I apologise for my tardiness." Eugeo replies in embarrassment as he slid down from Arthur's back and gave the Chimera a quick scan. Telling him that it's Level 40 and it's weak against Holy attacks.
Transforming his sword into the [Valkyrie's Blade] before adding, "Let's finish this quick then."
His fellow Heroes couldn't agree more as they all powered up their currently strongest Weapon Skills.
"Wind Arrow!" Itsuki fires a wind laced magic arrow.
"Lightning Spear!" Motoyasu launches a beam of electricity.
"Luminous Vertical Slash!" Eugeo unleashes shockwave of pure Holy energy.
Eugeo's party also joined in the attack as Anna fired a Lightning Shot spell and Rifana used an Aerial Slash Sacred art towards the boss. Prompting all the spellcasters in the Bow and Spear Hero's parties to pitch in to at least save face.
With the combined flurry of attacks from the three Heroes and their parties, the Chimera succumbed to its injuries and falls down dead. Ending the Wave and causing the sky to return to its normal vibrant blue color.
"It took a bit longer than it should be, but I would say this Boss fight is actually a walk in the park." Motoyasu commented with a grin as he approaches the fallen beast.
"Yup!" Itsuki agrees cheerfully as he followed suit, "And the next one will probably be easy too."
"I'm... not so sure about that." Eugeo counters in concern as he gestured to the rest of his companions to join him, "The Waves of Catastrophe wouldn't be regarded as World ending disasters if the Wave Bosses are THIS weak."
The two Heroes couldn't really deny Eugeo's claim... so they simply accepted his words of wisdom with a nod.
"So where's Naofumi? Motoyasu asked as he looked around, "Kirin said that he was with you Eugeo."
Myne was about to say something insulting about the Shield Hero when she quickly got cut off...
"Sir Naofumi is back in the village." Anna answered instead as she approached them with her snake scales and tail in full display (she decided to keep her hair and tail to be blonde, just to be safe to not be recognized) "He and his party member alongside the Castle Soldiers are probably getting rid of the small fries that the Wave left behind."
"The Shield Hero is also most likely treating the injured civilians since he has a potion enhancing ability." Rifana added as she uneasily stood by Eugeo's side.
Eugeo definitely DIDN'T miss the scowls and disgusted expressions on Myne's and the other Adventurers' faces as they noticed the two Demi-Humans that spoke.
"I suppose I have to admit that Naofumi isn't as useless as we thought." Itsuki sheepishly admitted while Motoyasu nodded stiffly as he now stared at the first Demi-Humans that he had ever met since coming to this world.
The Spear Hero quickly approached the two lovely ladies with a goofy and flirty smile as he boldly took hold of Anna and Rifana's dainty hands...
"You must be Anna and Rifana. The untouchable rose and the beautiful wallflower that Eugeo mentioned to us about." Motoyasu said as he continued to complement and invade the two girls' personal space. Anna's free hand is twitching furiously as she is very tempted to punch the Spear hero in the face while Rifana is struggling to keep herself from stepping at one of the Spear guy's toes so she could hide behind Eugeo.
'Remember Master Eugeo's Plan!' the two girls furiously reminded themselves.
"Why are you complimenting the Demi-humans Sir Motoyasu?" questioned the red-headed princess as she and the other Adventurers bitterly sneered, "More importantly... why do you have, not one but two Demi-Humans in your party Sir Eugeo!?"
"I'm sure there are others that are worthier to join your party than THESE two peasants." the guy with a mustache from Itsuki's party rudely added.
"Before I answer that," giving the man a really cold glare, Eugeo firmly requested, "You might want to stop that Motoyasu since you're just making them more and more uncomfortable."
The Spear hero paused and finally noticed that both girls are shaking. Anna really does look like she's ready to punch him while Rifana is on the verge of running away. As soon as he released their delicate hands, the two exotic ladies quickly stepped behind the Sword Hero and clinged to him on both sides.
"To better answer the question, you must first know how I met them. You see... a mysterious, cloaked Demi-Human told me that there was an area at the South that was being heavily terrorized by bandits. Not only have they been stealing food and money but they were also kidnapping women and children from the less protected villages that were damaged by the previous Wave."
"I see." Motoyasu's eyes narrowed, "So Anna and Rifana are two of the people that you saved?"
"And you apprehended those bandits and sent them to prison, right?" Itsuki asked curiously.
"Yes and no." Eugeo admitted with a remorseful smile as he gave the two Demi-Humans a comforting hug, "I ended up killing every single one of those poor excuse of human filth when I allowed my anger to go out of control."
His fellow Hero's stared at him in shock, as Eugeo has shown the willingness to kill. On the other hand, Myne and the others looked more concerned for a different matter entirely.
Kirin then stepped forward to explain. Telling the two Heroes, how Anna and Rifana were the latest batch of kidnapped people to be the bandits' enjoyment for that night. How they were sexually molested and tortured by multiple bandits until they finally decided to go for the final blow and take their virginity.
That is... until Sir Eugeo arrived and saved them from such a horrible fate.
Motoyasu and Itsuki were both filled with rage and disgust as they can only imagine how these two girls suffered.
"My mind completely went blank when I saw what the bandits were doing. So even though they begged for their lives to be spared, I killed every single one of them to make sure they will never do something like that ever again." Eugeo admitted with a heavy sigh. Both his fellow heroes couldn't even judge him because they probably would have done the same thing if they were in his place.
"To answer the question of why I allowed them to join my party, there's actually three reasons why.
The first is a bit of a selfish reason, Anna and Rifana sort of remind me of two precious people that I knew from my homeworld.
The second is because they wanted to get over the trauma of what happened and prevent others from going through what they experienced by fighting the Waves. Just so you know, the 1st Wave is the reason why crime rates have gone up by a considerable amount for the passed few weeks.
And the third reason... Well..." Eugeo chuckled with slight embarrassment, "It's because they managed to pass my 10 second test."
Itsuki and Motoyasu nodded in understanding when they heard the 1st and 2nd reason. Deeming them as reasonable and honorable motives. But both Heroes ended up laughing when they heard the final reason.
"Seriously?! Hahaha... You still give that test on people who wants to join you?!" Itsuki asked in mid-laughter.
"Way to lighten up the mood Eugeo!" Motoyasu said as he hollered.
As the somewhat tense atmosphere between the three heroes gradually lifted to a more pleasant level, Eugeo released his hug with the girls and gave a discrete glance at the others. The Princess and the Adventurers all looked like they were having a sever case of constipation. As all of them knew fully well that if they try to speak up against recruiting Demi-Humans or even try to insult them, they will no doubt lose their chosen Hero's favor.
So they decided to stay silent.
"I call dibs on the Chimera Ram/Lion head!" Itsuki and Motoyasu exclaimed with their own grins as the Heroes discussed how they are going to split the spoils.
"I guess I will get the Chimera Dragon head then." Eugeo chuckled, feeling very relieved that he didn't need to argue for it. "So that would mean Naofumi gets the remaining Chimera Viper head right?"
Myne noticably bristles when she heard that. She was about to say something to prevent it but was quickly cut off...
"I guess Naofumi DOES deserve some of the spoils." Itsuki surprisingly agrees. "He may not have helped in the Boss fight itself, but he still kept the villagers safe. A heroic act like that NEEDS to be given some compensations."
Motoyasu couldn't really think of any reason NOT to, so he relented with a nod of agreement before looking at Eugeo in realization, "So you're not so mad at Naofumi anymore Eugeo? I thought you still wanted to kill him for what he nearly did to Myne."
"I guess you COULD say I used up a lot of my pent up rage when I killed those rapists bandits that I ran into." Eugeo managed to say as a tasteless joke while he stored the Chimera Viper head along with a Chimera Claw to his Inventory to give Naofumi later. "Another reason is because I saw how he still did his duty and risked his life to save the Villagers. So at the very least... he has earned a bit of my respect as a fellow Legendary Hero."
The Bow and Spear Heroes looked at him in silent admiration before snickering.
"You truly have a way with words, don't you Eugeo." Itsuki complemented with a chuckle as he absorbs the Chimera Ram head to his Legendary Bow.
"Eugeo DID came from a magical medieval world instead of modern times like us after all. I guess we shouldn't be TOO surprised." Motoyasu agrees wholeheartedly as he inserts the Chimera Lion head to the Legendary Spear's red jewel.
"You two flatter me too much." Eugeo smiles in appreciation before he followed suit and absorbs his Chimera Dragon head along with one of the Chimera's Claws as an extra to his Legendary Sword. A notification window soon appears and Eugeo noticed the slight difference in them thanks to Naofumi sharing his Strengthening method with him.

While Eugeo and Alice mentally celebrated, both for the new swords that he unlocked and the fact that their plan in building a more workable relationship between the Heroes is slowly working...
Myne and the corrupted Adventurers were all fuming at the unexpected turn of events!
The black-hearted princess is already planning to report to her father and the Church that a mysterious interloper has SOMEHOW made contact with the Honorable Sword Hero!
Not only did it caused the Sword Hero's rage towards the Shield Hero to dry up! But it also indirectly resulted with the Sword Hero allowing two filthy Demi-Human sluts into his party!
Simply unforgivable! This mysterious man must be found and executed at once!
A few minutes later, the three Heroes and their parties approached the outskirts of Lute Village. There they noticed that the remnants of the Wave have now been completely dealt with. (Alice has strictly instructed Arthur not to speak in the presence of others aside from Naofumi, Raphtalia and Erhard)
Some of the villagers are now busying themselves by gathering up the monster corpses while others were repairing the damages that the Wave has left behind. They were all quite lively despite the damages the Wave of Catastrophe has done. This is largely due to the fact that they actually didn't suffer a single casualty!
Everyone in the village managed to survive the Wave... it was a miracle! All thanks to the timely response of the Heroes that defended their village.
The three Heroes were soon approached by the 2nd Captain of the Soldiers along with a few of his troops. Nervously reporting to them that all of the Wave monsters have been defeated. They also informed them that the King is throwing a grand feast tonight in celebration for their victory against the Wave.
Finally, the Captain mentioned as a footnote that the now disgraced former Captain is currently being restrained inside one of their spare carriages.
"What was that about?" Itsuki curiously asked as the soldiers left to begin preparations for their return to Castle Town.
"You see, the other Captain ordered a FULL magic firestorm strike on Lute Village." Eugeo explained with an angry tone, "He pretty much confessed that he didn't even BOTHERED to check whether or not the citizens have already evacuated. Heck, he admitted that he didn't even know that my party and I were right there in the line of fire when they launched that attack. It's a good thing none of us got hurt and I have a sword with a strong Water affinity so I managed to extinguish the flames before they burned the whole village down."
Myne most definitely flinched ever so slightly when she heard that.
"In a moment of impulsive rage, I punched the man's face, breaking his jaw with a few of his teeth shattering and rendered him unconscious." everyone slightly winced at the description as Eugeo continued, "I then used my authority as Sword Hero to order them to strip the Captain of his rank and he gets reduced to a Stable boy until the next Wave as punishment."
There was a moment of silence before it got broken by a snicker which eventually evolved to unrestrained laughter!
"Hahahahaha... Now that's what I call a poetic justice!" Motoyasu commented as he continued laughing at the hilarity of such an event.
"No joke!" Itsuki wholeheartedly agrees as he laughed also, "I wish I was there to see that! Hahahaha..."
While Anna, Rifana and Arthur slightly chuckled along with the two Heroes... Myne and the rest of them were strangely silent.
The Bow Hero and the Spear Hero soon said their goodbyes to Eugeo as they planned to immediately return to Castle Town. On the other hand, Eugeo informed them of his plans to spend the better part of the day in Lute Village. Admitting that Lute Village actually reminds him of his old home, which is why he decided to help a little with the clean up and to replenish a little of the village's resources.
His fellow Heroes simply nodded and left.
After distributing a simple but delicious stew to the villagers for lunch, and receiving tons of praise and gratitude in return...
the 2 Cardinal Heroes are now busy absorbing the Wave Monster corpses that the villagers have piled up for disposal.
Eugeo also handed over the 25 gold pieces that he promised along with the Chimera Viper head and Chimera Claw that he got from the Wave Boss. While Naofumi shared the crystals and ores that he got from Lute's mines in exchange.
Naofumi excitedly absorbs the exotic materials and received...

Naofumi's jaw dropped when he saw how powerful these new shields are. Easily surpassing almost everything he currently had at his disposal! Only matched by the [Shield of Achilles] and [Moon Aura Shield] in terms of defense power and extra abilities.
A few meters away from them are their companions who, much to the Heroes' amusement, are currently occupied with stuffing their faces with the left over stew and the desserts that Naofumi cooked and Eugeo baked for them.
"Delicious!"
"This is the best pastry I have ever tasted!"
"So good!"
"I never knew you can to bake like this Sir Eugeo!"
"Thanks a lot father!"
Just as Eugeo promised, he borrowed one of the least damaged bakeries in Lute and proceeded to make several batches of 'Wild Berry Cream Pies' for Arthur as a reward for being such a good boy. It's also Eugeo's way to compensate since the Filolial King won't be allowed to join them at tonight's grand feast. Although he did promised to grab and store some of the food for his son if he gets the chance.
Naofumi and Raphtalia were both pretty shocked when they witnessed Arthur transform into human form as the boy happily started eating. Prompting Kirin to explain how this came to be.
And of course, because the scent of his cooking caught the attention of everyone else, Eugeo was forced to make even more desserts to also satisfy Kirin, Anna, Rifana and Raphtalia.
The two Heroes nodded towards their complements before getting back to work. All the while freely conversing with each other since they don't have to worry about Church Spies for the next few days.
"They actually said that?" Naofumi asked in disbelief at what Eugeo just said.
"Yes they did." Eugeo confirmed with a chuckle as he absorbed a Dimensional Hornet's stinger, "Both Itsuki and Motoyasu admitted that you're not as useless as they thought since you protected the people of Lute. That's why they agreed with me that you should be rewarded with some of the spoils from the Wave Boss. Even though you didn't take part in fighting against it."
"I bet that Royal pain in the butt and her posse didn't like that very much." the Shield Hero groaned as he absorbed some Zombie bones.
"She did not." Eugeo frowned as he continued, "She will most DEFINITELY try something to tear us Heroes apart again at that grand feast tonight."
"If that's the case, then maybe it's better if I don't go... I'm not really hurting on money anymore and I certainly don't mind just cooking up our own private feast at Erhard's." Naofumi considered in thought.
"That may be so. But I think you should come." Eugeo said with an uncharacteristic smirk, confusing his fellow hero, "Alice and I actually cooked up a plan for Aultcray, Myne and the Church. This victory party is actually a pleasant surprise since it will bring in more witnesses for what's about to happen.
'It gets even better since I unlocked a new ability today now that Eugeo has surpassed the Level 50 requirement. It will greatly magnify the plan's effectivity without causing the situation to backfire on Eugeo and the rest of us.' Alice informed with a snicker.
"A trap huh." Naofumi couldn't help but grin as he REALLY liked the sound of that, "Mind if you include me into the fold?"
"I'm sorry but I can't..." Eugeo said apologetically before adding, "But I promise that you would absolutely LOVE what I have in store for those corrupted royals. Alice will use her telepathy to give you and Mash advice depending on whatever happens tonight."
Naofumi and Mash felt a bit uneasy for not knowing the entire plan...
but decided to put their trust on Eugeo and Alice for everything that's about to go down at tonight's party.
