It's not that Link himself was unharmed, he already knew that he would suffer some damage. That is why he acted very calm while getting damaged due to the boss's attack.
As soon as the blast spell fell on the boss, its life started decreasing rapidly.

Soon after suffering a lot of damage, the zombie boss fell down unwillingly. Link, who was standing there breathing heavily, was in miserable condition. It's not that he is injured but the whole person is covered in dirt and sweat.
Link glanced at his life, he was relieved to see more than 50 life remaining. The zombie boss dealt most of the damage during its last mad charge.
"Ding, you have killed a F-level boss "Tyrant Zombie", gaining 1500 experience points, +1 to all attributes and 5 bonus attribute points."
Link was overjoyed after seeing attribute points in the reward given for boss kill.
"No wonder so many people want to kill bosses." Link thought to himself.
He hurriedly put all the bonus attribute points into intelligence, increasing it to 26. Now he has 52 magical attacks and 260 mana reserves. It increased his combat power to another level.
After investing all the attributes, Link started to pick up items dropped by the boss.
There were many good things dropped by the boss monster, which can be sold for money. But two of them attracted his attention. One of the was a ring and the other one was a skill book.
Link first checked the ring.
[ Tyrant's ring(f)
Type: ring
+2 stamina
+1 strength ]
The Ring wasn't as powerful as he thought but he wasn't disappointed as he could use his ability to upgrade the ring later.
So he picked up the skill book and looked at its description.
[Furious Combo (e)
Attacks the target three times very quickly, causing 50+1*physical attack point damage each time.
The physical melee class can be learned. ]
This should be the attack skill used by the boss monster in later charge. Right?
What a strong skill, but he couldn't use it. Link felt a little uncomfortable while looking at such a good skill book in his hands.
Fortunately, there is a ring which can be used by him. He equipped the Tyrant's ring and used his amplification module on it.
"Ding, the f-level Tyrant's ring was amplified by fivefold, and it has been upgraded to e-level Tyrant's Phalanx."
Link checked the description of newly upgraded ring.
[ Tyrant's phalanx(e)
Type: ring
+7 stamina
+5 strength
Equipment level: level-5 ]
Link was overjoyed after seeing the changes that happened after the upgrade.
Now that his stamina has also reached 20 points increasing his Hp to 200. And his physical attack increased to 28.
Just as he was thinking about his gains, he heard some footsteps in the distance.
..........
Just as Link killed the boss monster, adventure teams standing in the distance were also aware of the demise of the boss monster.
Zandar and Shelby both looked at each other and whispered something in the ears of followers. No one knew what they were talking about but some were curious after looking at the excited expression of those who knew the details.
Soon Shelby and zander both started walking towards the forest with their followers.
..............
As soon as Link heard the sound of footsteps, he became cautious. If he refer to those novels from previous life then those people will directly ask him to give them the loot and start threatening him with the name of their backing.
So Link already prepared a mask to keep his identity hidden from those kinds of people.
When Shelby and Zander came into clearing with their followers, they saw the corpse of the boss monster lying in a pit and a guy was standing near the corpse. He was wearing an exquisite red robe with a red staff in his hand.
But they couldn't see his face as he was wearing a white mask with a red pattern on left eye. Even though they couldn't see his face, they knew that he must be very handsome.
"Hello brother…." Shelby said.
But Link didn't reply, just kept on staring at them. Link was busying thinking about a solution if a fight broke out. He didn't want to give anything if they demanded the loot. And there is no high level professional in their group so Link wasn't afraid of them.
He was trying to waste time so he can increase his mana reserves, as of right now he had half of his mana.
Seeing that other party wasn't interested in greeting, Shelby didn't know what to say. He even felt a little bit angry but looking at devastated area around them, he didn't have confidence to confront other party.
Zandar, who was watching the fun on the sidelines, said "Hello sir, your strength is really shocking."
Link, who was still contemplating, looked towards the other party. He wasn't showing it in his body language but Link was really surprised by his respectful greeting. If he remembered right then this should be the leader of purple bird adventure group.
Shelby who seems to come back to his senses after hearing Zander also said "yeah, i didn't expect that at the apprentice level you can kill a boss monster."
They both started flattering Link with praises. Link wasn't really excited after hearing their flattering, but became more cautious because they were not as brain dead as he thought. He could only blame those stupid novels for thinking like that.
Shelby and Zander were trying to make a good impression on Link. According to them Link is at least someone with a rare profession. And no matter what, most of these guys come from strong families, and even if they don't belong to them initially, they will be recruited after some time. So acquainting themselves with someone like that is not a loss for them.
As for the loot, they never thought about asking for it. They were normal apprentice level professionals, they didn't want to offend someone they couldn't afford to.
Many people may think that most of these guys are stupid but can you really survive in such a chaotic environment by being stupid? They are the first ones to be sacrificed in this world. For them stupidity is a weakness.
Their eyes were still working, they could see the boss monster's corpse lying in the pit. So why would they challenge someone who could kill that monster without being injured. Who doesn't love money but life is more important.
Link, who was surprised by their greetings, nodded to them.
Seeing that Link wasn't angry with their approach. They introduced themselves to Link.
"Hello sir, I'm Shelby from the Bey adventure group, if you ever need our assistance, we will be happy to provide help."
Seeing this Zander also said "Hello sir, I'm Zander of purple bird adventure group. If you ever need your help, you can contact us."
After listening to them Link understood the situation, they were probably confusing him with someone who inherited a rare profession. Link didn't plan to clear their confusion.
Link nodded to them and said in a cold voice "Since boss has been killed by me, i will go first."
Shelby and Zander both understood that Link didn't want to continue the conversation. It was rude, but both of them further strengthened their assumption about his identity.
"Yes sir." both of them replied.
Just as Link was moving out of their sight. One of the followers couldn't bear it anymore so he shouted "Sir, can you please tell us your name?."
Link, who heard the shout, stopped for a second. But started walking again without even turning back, making others feel disappointed.
But just as Link disappeared in the forest, they heard a cold and detached voice.
"Zero."
