[Hint: You have successfully controlled the story character Shalltear using "Alluring Beauty," duration 20 seconds.]

[One natural day.]

As the dust quickly dissipated, what Mia and Cocytus saw was Shalltear holding a dropper spear, stabbing Fang in the chest.

Just as the two were wondering...

Shalltear suddenly lowered her spear, the hostility and killing intent in her eyes completely disappearing.

The control that could topple cities and nations is not the rigid kind of control, but rather leans towards brainwashing. The controlled person's mind remains intact; only the object of their loyalty changes.

Fang Yu and Shalltear exchanged a glance, and after noticing each other's respect, they nodded. Fang Yu then spent 10000 Paradise Coins to refresh the cooldown of the Alluring Beauty skill.

There's also Cocytus, whom he doesn't want to let go of. These two guardians are not only powerful combatants, but also living sources of the world and treasure chests. In any case, they are more worthwhile than the Paradise Coins he spent.

After refreshing the cooldown, he still had over 20,000 Paradise Coins and two small Soul Crystals. With the addition of these two Guardians, he could really screw over Momonga.

"Go, don't let Cocytus get away."

Fang Yu gave instructions to Shalltear.

Shalltear nodded, a cold glint flashing in her blood-red eyes. After locking onto Cocytus not far away, a beam of flight magic shone from her body, and she charged straight at him with her gun.

Shalltear has betrayed us?

Cocytus, witnessing all of this, was filled with dread. He had considered the possibility of Shalltear's defeat, Shalltear's plea for help, and even the worst-case scenario: that Shalltear might be seriously injured.

But he never imagined that Shalltear would betray him.

Keep in mind that they are all guardians of the Great Tomb created by 41 Supreme Beings, so the word "betrayal" is practically impossible for them.

What exactly happened in that battle?

Before Cocytus could think, Shalltear had already rushed in front of him.

From her murderous gaze, Cocytus was certain that his close companion had truly betrayed him.

Ding ding ding————

The two sides immediately escalated the battle to its most intense level upon contact. Each clash of weapons generated a shockwave that spread dozens of meters away due to the immense power of both sides.

While their weapons clashed, both sides also seamlessly alternated in casting powerful spells, which had little effect on people but caused enormous damage to the surrounding environment.

Shalltear's attacks were extremely fierce. Her spear created numerous afterimages as she thrust and swung it at lightning speed, as if she were wielding a dozen spears at the same time.

Cocytus was not at a disadvantage at all. He held a weapon in each of his four hands and it was not difficult for him to defend himself. In fact, after a few seconds of fighting, he gradually gained the upper hand.

Faced with this situation, Shalltear no longer focused on weaponry. In terms of overall strength, she was the strongest in the entire Great Tomb of Nazarick, excelling in both melee combat and magic.

While Cocytus is the strongest in attack among the four melee-savvy NPCs of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, he is quite average in magic.

"Shalltear, are you really going to betray Lord Ainz?!"

Cocytus no longer cared about whether the intelligence was leaked or not; compared to intelligence, the betrayal of the Guardians was far more serious.

"Lord Ainz, I admire you the most."

Shalltear, suspended in mid-air, looked dazed, but then she asked with a puzzled expression, "But what does this have to do with my betrayal? I admire Lord Ainz, but I am loyal to Lord Black Blade. Your question is strange."

Upon hearing this, Cocytus was completely disheartened. He glared angrily at Black Knife, who was talking to the maid to the side. He knew that the root of everything was this man.

He needed to retreat quickly, inform Lord Ainz of the power of the Black Blade, and then propose gathering all the Guardians to completely eliminate this dangerous individual.

"What is that?"

It was this glance that caught Cocytus's attention. Black Knife took out two items, but before he could examine them closely, Shalltear rushed forward again.

Distracted, Cocytus was struggling to defend himself, and his bad premonition grew stronger. Shalltear sealed off the surrounding space, so he couldn't use teleportation magic, or even information transmission tools like message scrolls.

He suddenly realized that Black Knife's actions just now were very likely the reason for Shalltear's betrayal.

Thinking of this, Cocytus hardened his heart. He would not allow himself to betray anyone. Immediately, his six blue crystal eyes glowed red, and he gripped the "God-Slaying Blade Emperor" tightly, slashing several blue blade beams, each over ten meters long, at Shalltear.

Seeing the blade of light flying towards her at lightning speed, Shalltear felt a chill run down her spine and quickly retreated, not daring to take it head-on.

This is a divine artifact-level magical item gifted to him by the creator of Cocytus, and it is also his strongest weapon.

Even though they were both level 100, Shalltear, being a semi-tank, didn't dare to take the hit head-on. Not only her, but even Albedo, who had the strongest defense among all the guardians, couldn't say that she could defend against it perfectly.

Seeing Shalltear forced back, Cocytus suddenly turned around, leaped up, and sped off toward the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

roar----

A dragon's roar suddenly reached Cocytus's ears. Without slowing down, he looked to the side.

What came into view was a golden dragon shadow, so fast that he didn't even have time to react before it crashed into his mind.

"ah!!"

Cocytus seemed to lose his strength, crashing straight into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. The next second, his six crystal eyes turned red, and he charged out in a frenzied manner, launching a crazy attack on Fang Yu's location.

Now, having experienced it firsthand, he finally understood the reason for Shalltear's betrayal: the World Item "Alluring Beauty." Its creator had told him about the types of World Items, and this was one of them.

The alteration of his memories caused Cocytus to lose his composure. He could not accept that he had betrayed Lord Ainz, and he had to kill the Black Blade before his memories were completely altered.

However, on his path to victory, he was met with his former companion Shalltear and numerous obstacles from 70 Arbiters.

boom.

Shalltear swept her spear across, sending Cocytus flying.

"Well."

Cocytus grunted, but his gaze remained fixed on Fang Yu. The next second, countless sharp ice spikes shot out from his palm, almost turning into an ice pillar a meter thick. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that they were all made of ice spikes.

At the same time, dozens of ice pillars several meters thick rose from the ground within a radius of one hundred meters, their tips extremely sharp, growing wildly and attacking Fang Yu's location together.

Boom boom boom————

Shalltear quickly returned to Fang Yu's side, blocking the rain of ice spikes while still having the strength to destroy the ice pillars. The Arbiter was also busy, preventing any fragments from entering within ten meters of Fang Yu's location.
